For the ~~Six~~Nine Months Ended ~~October~~January 31, ~~2022~~2023 (unaudited) and the Year Ended April 30, 2022 (audited)

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Netcapital Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 footnotes 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 ~~six-~~three- and ~~three-month~~nine-month periods ended ~~October~~January 31, ~~2022,~~2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023. For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and footnotes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2022.

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (Topic 805). This ASU requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) from acquired contracts using the revenue recognition guidance in Topic 606. At the acquisition date, the acquirer applies the revenue model as if it had originated the acquired contracts. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of the ASU should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is also permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If adopted early, ~~adopted,~~ the amendments are applied retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurred during the fiscal year of adoption. This ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosure by Business Entities about Government Assistance (ASU 2021-10), which requires the disclosure of government assistance received by most business entities relating to: (1) the types of government assistance received; (2) the accounting for such assistance; and (3) the effect of the assistance on a business entity’s financial statements. The additional annual disclosures required are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (ASU 2022-03), which clarifies and amends the guidance of measuring the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of the equity securities. The adoption of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2022, the Company purchased the website, intellectual property, source code and domain names of 1ON1.FANS and ONEONONE.FANS (the “Assets”). Pursuant to the guidance of Topic 805, it was determined that the purchase of the Assets did not meet the definition of a business and the asset purchase was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The fair value of the consideration, consisting of 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $435,000, was attributed to a single asset consisting of a website and intellectual property.

Management does not believe that any other 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.

For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~October~~January 31, 2023, the Company had one customer that constituted 0% and 39% of revenues, a second customer that constituted 35% and 15% of revenues, a third customer that constituted 35% and 15% of revenues, and a fourth customer that constituted 17% and 7% of revenues, respectively. For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2022, the Company had one customer that constituted 79%33% and 67~~% of revenues, and a second customer that constituted~~ 0~~% and~~ 10~~% of revenues, respectively. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2021, the Company had one customer that constituted~~ 42~~% and~~ 28%30% of revenues and a second customer that constituted 33% and 2228% of revenues, respectively.

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

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.

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 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 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 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.

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.

The Company’s subscription terms are typically less than one year. All of the Company’s revenues in the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~October~~January 31, ~~2022,~~2023, which amounted to $~~1,778,973~~2,260,414 and $~~3,119,546~~5,379,960, respectively, are considered contract revenues. Contract revenue as of ~~October~~January 31, ~~2022~~2023 and April 30, 2022, which has not yet been recognized, amounted to $~~660~~718 and $2,532, 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.

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.

As of ~~October~~January 31, ~~2022~~2023 and April 30, 2022, the Company owed its principal lender (“Lender”) ~~$400,000~~$350,000 and $1,400,000, respectively, under an amended loan and security agreement (“Loan”) dated July 26, 2014 and amended several times thereafter so that the maturity date is now April 30, 2023.

In connection with the financing, the Company has agreed to certain restrictive covenants, including, among others, that the Company may not convey, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any part of its business or property, except as permitted in the agreement, dissolve, liquidate or merge with any other party unless, in the case of a merger, the Company is the surviving entity, incur any indebtedness except as defined in the agreement, create or allow a lien on any of its assets or collateral that has been pledged to the Lender, make any loans to any person, except for prepaid items or deposits incurred in the ordinary course of business, or make any material capital expenditures. To secure the payment of all obligations to the Lender, the Company granted the Lender a continuing security interest and first lien on all of the assets of the Company.

As of ~~October~~January 31, ~~2022~~2023 and April 30, 2022, the Company’s related-party unsecured notes payable totaled ~~$19,660~~$15,000 and $22,860, respectively.

As of ~~October~~January 31, ~~2022~~2023 and April 30, 2022, the company owed $0 and $300,000 in convertible notes payable. On July 14, 2022, the Company issued 93,432 shares of common stock valued at $266,272 to retire the $300,000 in convertible promissory notes plus accrued interest of ~~$10,192~~$10,192.

The Company owes $34,324 as of ~~October~~January 31, ~~2022~~2023 and April 30, 2022 to Chase Bank. The Company pays interest expense to Chase Bank, which is calculated at a rate of ~~7.0%~~7.50% per annum.

On May 6, 2020, the Company borrowed $1,885,800 (the “May Loan”), 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 May loan bore interest at a rate of 1% per annum and was forgiven in its entirety, including accrued interest of $18,502. As a result, the Company recognized debt forgiveness of $1,904,296 in the ~~year~~three and nine months ended ~~April 30,~~January 31, 2022.

The June Loan required installment payments of $2,594 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 ~~is now~~became due on December 17, 2022. The monthly payments of $2,594 are first applied to accrued interest payable. The monthly payments will not be applied to any of the outstanding principal balance until August of 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.

The warrants issued to the underwriter’s representatives and to the underwriter were not part of a unit, consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant and are valued based upon unadjusted quoted prices on the Nasdaq market. The value of the 60,250 representatives’ warrants amounted to $26,510 and the value of the 111,300 underwriter’s warrants amounted to $48,972. The trading price of a warrant with an identical term and exercise price, under the trading symbol of NCPLW, had a closing price of $0.44 on the day the representatives’ warrants and the underwriter’s warrants were issued. The value of the warrants is not an addition to capital in excess of par value because the value of the warrants is also an offsetting offering cost.

On January 5, 2023, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K and announced the formation of the Netcapital Inc. 2023 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The purposes of the Plan are to (i) provide an additional incentive to selected employees, directors, and independent contractors of the Company or its affiliates whose contributions are essential to the growth and success of the Company, (ii) strengthen the commitment of such individuals to the Company and its affiliates, (iii) motivate those individuals to faithfully and diligently perform their responsibilities and (iv) attract and retain competent and dedicated individuals whose efforts will result in the long-term growth and profitability of the Company. In conjunction with these purposes, the Company granted stock options to four individuals to purchase an aggregate of 1,600,000 of our common stock at a price of $1.43 per share. See Note 7.

As of January 31, 2023 options to purchase 1,600,000 shares of common stock were outstanding under the Plan. The stock options are subject to stockholder approval, and the Company has called a special meeting of stockholders on March 28, 2023 to approve the adoption of the Plan.

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.

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 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~~assets as of ~~October~~January 31, ~~2022~~2023 and April 30, 2022

PART I

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by the Company from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

The Company sold 606,060 shares of KingsCrowd Inc. in June 2022 for proceeds of $200,000 that had been valued at 606,060 and recorded a realized loss on the sale of the investment of $406,060.

Unrealized gains on equity securities for the nine months ended January 31, 2023 decreased by $1,418,245, or approximately 43%, to $1,857,500, as compared to $3,275,745 during the nine months ended January 31, 2022. The decrease in unrealized gains is attributable to the sale of common stock at $1.00 per share in a public offering by Kingscrowd Inc., which exceeded the carrying value on our books by $3,275,745, during the nine months ended January 31, 2022, as compared to a net gain of $1,857,500 from observable price changes in investment securities of three investments held by the Company during the nine months ended January 31, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At ~~October~~January 31, ~~2022,~~2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$1,565,242~~$1,771,927 and negative working capital of ~~$296,200~~$844,802 as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $473,925 and negative working capital of $3,113,403 at April 30, 2022.

We have been successful in raising capital by selling restricted common stock and by completing a public offering of our common stock.

On July 15, 2022, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 1,205,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 1,205,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a combined public offering price of $4.15 per share and warrant. The gross proceeds from the offering were $5,000,750 prior to deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses. The warrants have a per share exercise price of $5.19, are exercisable immediately, and expire five years from the date of issuance. With the use of proceeds, we paid $1 million of debt to our secured ~~lender,~~lender. On December 16, 2022 we completed an underwritten public offering of 1,247,000 shares of our common stock, at a price to ~~reduce~~ the ~~outstanding principal balance~~public of $1.40 per share. In conjunction with this offering, we issued the underwriter and its designees warrants to ~~$400,000.~~purchase 62,350 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.75. The underwriters exercised their over-allotment option and on January 5, 2023, we issued an additional 187,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $1.40 per share. We received net proceeds of $1,621,459 for the issuance of a total of 1,434,000 shares of common stock in both the initial and over-allotment offering. In conjunction with the exercise of the over-allotment, the Company issued the underwriter and its designees warrants to purchase 9,350 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $1.75.

Netcapital Funding Portal Inc. (the “Funding Portal”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, maintained an operating account at Silicon Valley Bank, Santa Clara, CA (“SVB”) with cash balances of approximately $330,000 at the time SVB was closed on March 10, 2023 and subsequently placed into receivership by the FDIC. The $330,000 was withdrawn from SVB after March 10, 2023 and deposited in our accounts with other national U.S. banks. Furthermore, the Company and its affiliates maintained accounts at other U.S. banks with cash balances of approximately $979,000 as of March 10, 2023. Accordingly, the Company believes it has no exposure to loss as a result of SVB’s receivership.

SVB also served as a qualified third-party escrow agent for investors that use the Funding Portal to make investments in companies that seek to raise capital under the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, by listing their securities for sale on the Funding Portal’s website. At the time SVB was closed, the cash balances in the escrow account totaled approximately $755,000. The FDIC has stated that all deposits are guaranteed. Currently, all amounts held in the SVB escrow account are insured and available for withdrawal.

We believe that our existing cash investment balances, sources of capital and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and expenditure requirements for the next 12 months. Although we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity over the next 12 months, the success of our operations, the global economic outlook, and the pace of sustainable growth in our markets, in each case, in light of the market volatility and uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, among other factors, could impact our business and liquidity. Up to this point in time, we believe the pandemic has helped drive people to online investing, as we see regular monthly increases in users and dollars invested, and an increase in issuers seeking to use online fund-raising services in lieu of face-to-face meetings.

Based on that evaluation, the PEO and the PFO concluded that, as of ~~October~~January 31, ~~2022,~~2023, such controls and procedures were effective.

(b) Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). A system of internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the PEO and the PFO, the Company’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of ~~October~~January 31, ~~2022,~~2023, based on the criteria established in a report entitled “2013 Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission” and the interpretive guidance issued by the Commission in Release No. 34-55929. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management has evaluated and concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of ~~October~~January 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

The Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2022 does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s registered public accounting firm was not required to issue an attestation on its internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the SEC. The Company will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls and procedures on an ongoing basis.

(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) during the quarter ended ~~October~~January 31, ~~2022~~2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
