NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
1– Summary of Significant Accounting Policie s
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, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026. 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, 2025.
Reverse
Stock Split
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 organized in 2024
and was approved by 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, 2025.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income
Statement Expenses. This ASU requires public companies to provide additional disclosures on the nature and amount of certain expense
line items, such as employee compensation, depreciation, and other costs, to improve transparency of operating results. The standard
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of the standard on its future financial statement disclosures.
In
January 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and
Similar Awards. This ASU includes illustrative examples to clarify when profits interest awards or similar arrangements should be accounted
for under ASC 718. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is
evaluating the applicability of this guidance to any future equity-based compensation arrangements.
In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires
expanded disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 for its fiscal 2024 year. The
adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The
Company operates in a single operating segment, which is the provision of fintech services. This determination is based on the following
factors:
1.
Centralized
Decision-Making : The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), makes strategic
and resource allocation decisions across all subsidiaries and entities within the Company. This centralized approach ensures that
the operations are managed as a single, cohesive unit.
2.
Integrated
Operational Ecosystem : The Company’s subsidiaries and entities operate within a unified fintech ecosystem, sharing resources,
technology, and objectives. This integration reflects a singular operational framework focused on delivering cohesive fintech solutions.
3.
Uniform
Review Process : The performance of all entities and subsidiaries is reviewed as a whole by the CODM. This holistic review process
supports the identification of the Company as a single operating segment rather than discrete financial segments.
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, 2025, the Company had one customer that constituted 73 % of revenues. For the three months ended July
31, 2024, the Company had one customer that constituted 15 % 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 may 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, 2025 and 2024, which amounted to $ 190,058 and $ 142,227 , respectively, are considered contract revenues. Contract revenue as of July
31, 2025 and April 30, 2025, which has not yet been recognized, amounted to $ 315 and $ 330 , 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.

The
Company owes $ 34,324 as of July 31, 2025 and April 30, 2025 to Chase Bank. For the loan from Chase Bank, the Company pays interest only
on a monthly basis, which represents a rate of 9.75 % per annum as of July 31, 2025.
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 August 17, 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. Accrued interest payable for the June 2020 Loan as of July 31, 2025 and April 30, 2025 amounted to $ 17,924 and $ 20,611 , respectively.
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. Accrued interest payable for the February 2021 Loan as of July 31, 2025 and
April 30, 2025 amounted to $ 84,939 and $ 80,186 , respectively.
On
March 26, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with 1800 Diagonal Lending LLC (the “Lender”), pursuant
to which the Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $ 181,540 (the “Note”). The Note was issued with
an original issue discount (“OID”) of $ 25,040 , and the Company received net proceeds of $ 150,000 after deducting legal and
due diligence fees.
As
of April 30, 2025, the unamortized original issue discount was $ 19,753 , and the Note was recorded on the balance sheet at its net carrying

On
April 29, 2025, the Company entered into a private financing transaction with a single accredited investor and issued an unsecured, non-convertible
promissory note in the principal amount of $ 200,000 . The note was issued at a 50 % OID for gross proceeds of $ 100,000 . The note bears
interest at 8 % per annum, matures on July 31, 2025 , and is prepayable at any time without penalty. In the event of default, the interest
rate increases to 20 % per annum. As of July 31, 2025, the note was recorded at its face value of $ 200,000 and was in default. As of April
30, 2025, the unamortized OID was $ 98,350 , and the note was recorded on the balance sheet at a net carrying amount of $ 101,650 . Accrued
interest payable amounted to $ 4,033 as of July 31, 2025.
In
May 2025, the Company completed the sale of debt pursuant to two separate securities purchase agreements with 1800 Diagonal Lending LLC,
a Virginia limited liability company, under which it issued the following convertible promissory notes:
●
A convertible promissory
note in the principal amount of $ 61,360 , for a purchase price of $ 52,000 , reflecting an original issue discount of $ 9,360 . The note
carried a one-time interest charge of 12 % and is repayable in ten ( 10 ) monthly payments of $ 6,872.30 beginning May 30, 2025. The
Company prepaid the note in full on July 8, 2025, with a remittance of $ 52,779 after having made two of the 10 scheduled monthly
payments.

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:

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 measured at cost less accumulated amortization. The useful life is determined based on the period
of the underlying contract or the period over which the intangible asset is expected to generate economic benefits. Intangible assets
with indefinite useful lives, such as trade names, trademarks, and perpetual software licenses, are recorded at cost and are not amortized
but tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
Impairments are recognized when the recoverable amount of the asset is less than its carrying amount.
On
June 26, 2025, the Company entered into a Horizon Software Agreement with Horizon Globex GmbH (“Horizon”), pursuant to which
Horizon granted the Company a royalty-free, paid-up, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, and unrestricted license to use Horizon’s
proprietary software with the Company’s branding and image in the United States to provide capital-raising and secondary trading
services to its clients. In consideration for this license, the Company issued 500,000 shares of its common stock to Horizon. The license
was valued at $ 2,840,000 and is classified as an indefinite-lived intangible asset.
The
following table sets forth the major categories of the intangible assts as of July 31, 2025 and April 30, 2025:

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, a s of July 31, 2025, we had working
capital of $ 186,766 and for the three months ended July 31, 2025, we had an operating loss of $ 3,285,648 and net cash used in operating
activities amounted to $ 4,214,258 .
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
On
September 16, 2025, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the noteholder of a $ 200,000 note with a 50 % original issue
discount issued on April 29, 2025 and a maturity date of July 31, 2025 to settle the $ 209,272 outstanding
on the $ 200,000 note
on such date, which amount includes accrued interest of $ 9,272 .
Under the terms of the settlement agreement the parties agreed that such $ 200,000 note
was fully paid in complete satisfaction upon the Company paying $ 104,636 and
issuance of $ 104,636 of
the Company’s common stock ( 46,258 shares
at a price equal to 2.262 per
share (which price represents the “Minimum Price” as defined under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d)) in full satisfaction of the
outstanding note.
On
September 16, 2025, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the noteholder of a $ 400,000 note with a 50 % original issue
discount issued on May 1, 2025 and a maturity date of August 1, 2025 to settle the $ 418,148 outstanding
on the $ 400,000 note
on such date, which amount includes accrued interest of $ 18,148 .
Under the terms of the settlement agreement the parties agreed that the such $ 400,000 note
was fully paid in complete satisfaction upon the Company paying $ 209,074 and
issuance of $ 209,074 of
the Company’s common stock ( 92,428 shares
at a price equal to 2.262 per
share (which price represents the “Minimum Price” as defined under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d)) in full satisfaction of the
outstanding note.
On
September 16, 2025, the Company issued 59,147 shares of common stock to the investors in the June 2025 private placement in consideration
of the adjustment provision contained in their subscription agreements which provided that if the Company issues shares of common stock
below $ 4.00 per share at any time prior February 19, 2026, the investors in the June 10, 2025 private placement would be entitled to
receive additional shares to effectively reduce their purchase price to such lower price; provided that the effective price per share
could not be adjusted below the Minimum Price, which was $ 2.67 per share, as defined under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d).

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

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 Netcapital Inc. (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. Unless the context
otherwise requires, references in this prospectus to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”
refer to Netcapital Inc. and its subsidiaries.
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.
Overview
Netcapital
Inc. is a fintech company with a scalable technology platform that allows private companies to raise capital online from accredited and
non-accredited investors. We give virtually all investors the opportunity to access investments in private companies. We believe our
model is disruptive to traditional private equity investing and is based on Title III, Regulation Crowdfunding (“Reg CF”)
of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”). We generate fees from listing private companies on our funding portal
located at www.netcapital.com. Our consulting group, Netcapital Advisors Inc. (“Netcapital Advisors”), which is a wholly
owned subsidiary, provides marketing and strategic advice to companies in exchange for cash fees and previously also received equity
positions in certain select portfolio companies. The Netcapital funding portal is registered with the SEC, is a member of the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), a registered national securities association, and provides investors with opportunities
to invest in private companies. In addition, we recently expanded our model to include Regulation A (“Reg A”) offerings,
which are conducted by our wholly owned subsidiary Netcapital Securities Inc. “(“Netcapital Securities”), which is
a licensed broker-dealer with FINRA. Both A and Reg CF offerings are made available to investors via the Company’s website, www.netcapital.com.
- 22 -
We
provide private company investment access to accredited and non-accredited investors through (i) our online portal (www.netcapital.com),
which is operated by our wholly owned subsidiaries Netcapital Funding Portal, Inc and (ii) our broker-deal subsidiary, Netcapital Securities.
The Netcapital funding portal charges a $5,000 listing fee, a 4.9% portal fee for capital raised at closing, and beginning in fiscal
year 2024, a 1% success fee paid for with equity of the funding portal customer. In addition, the portal generates fees for other ancillary
services, such as rolling closes. Netcapital Advisors previously generated fees and equity stakes from consulting in select portfolio
(“Portfolio Companies”) and non-portfolio clients. With respect to services for Reg A offerings, Netcapital Securities charges
a listing fee of $25,000 and a success fee of 4.9% of the capital raised by an issuer under Reg A.
We
generated revenues of $190,058, with costs of service of $7,409, in the three months ended July 31, 2025 for a gross profit of $182,649
(consisting of $62,195 in equity securities for payment of services and $127,863 in cash-based revenues, offset by $7,409 for costs of
services), as compared to revenues of $142,227, with costs of service of $10,220, in the three months ended July 31, 2024 for a gross
profit of $132,007 (consisting of $10,127 in equity securities for payment of services and $132,100 in cash-based revenues, offset by
$10,220 for costs of services). The total number of offerings on the Netcapital funding portal in the three months ended July 31, 2025
and 2024 that closed was 3 and 16, respectively, of which 0 and 4 offerings hosted on the Netcapital funding platform in the three months
ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, terminated their listings without raising the required minimum amount of capital.
In
fiscal 2025 and 2024, the average amount raised in an offering on the Netcapital funding portal was $215,745 and $280,978, respectively.
The total number of offerings on the Netcapital funding portal in fiscal 2025 and 2024 that closed was 70 in each fiscal year, of which
21 and 17 offerings hosted on the Netcapital funding platform in fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively, terminated their listings without
raising the required minimum dollar amount of capital.
Netcapital.com
is an SEC-registered funding portal that enables private companies to raise capital online, while investors are able to invest from almost
anywhere in the world, at any time, with just a few clicks. Securities offerings on the portal are accessible through individual offering
pages, where companies include product or service details, market size, competitive advantages, and financial documents. Companies can
accept investments from virtually anyone, including friends, family, customers, and employees. Customer accounts on our platform are
not permitted to hold or use digital securities to make an investment.
In
addition to access to the funding portal, Netcapital provides the following services:

Broker-Dealer
Business
In
November 2024, our wholly owned subsidiary, Netcapital Securities Inc. received approval from FINRA to become a FINRA-member broker dealer.
We believe that by having a registered broker-dealer, it may create opportunities to expand the Company’s revenue base by hosting
and generating additional fees from Reg A and Reg D offerings on the Netcapital platform, earning additional fees in connection with
offerings that may result from the introduction of clients to other FINRA broker-dealers and expanding our distribution capabilities
by leveraging strategic partnerships with other broker-dealers to distribute offerings of issuers that utilize the Netcapital platform
to a wider range of investors in order to maximize market penetration and optimize capital raising efforts. As of the date of this prospectus,
Netcapital Securities has been engaged by one issuer seeking to raise capital via a Regulation A offering.
Our
limited operating history and the uncertain nature of our future operations and the markets we address or intend to address make predictions
of our future results of operations difficult. Our operations may never generate significant revenues, and we may not consistently achieve
profitable operations.

price per share of the Company’s common stock, or $5.8438 per share. In addition, upon the cash exercise of July 2025 Warrants
#2, the Company also agreed to issue Wainwright (or its designees) additional Placement Agent Warrants #2 to purchase an amount of share
of Common Stock equal to 7.5% of the aggregate number of July 2025 Investor Warrants Shares #2 issued upon cash exercise of the July
2025 Investor Warrants #2. The Placement Agent Warrants #2 are (or will be) exercisable immediately upon issuance for a period of five
years following the commencement of the sales pursuant to the July 2025 Offering #2.
The
closing of the sales of these securities under the July 2025 Purchase Agreement #2 took place on July 17, 2025.
July
2025 Registered Direct Offering and Concurrent Private Placement #1
On
July 2, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “July 2025 Purchase Agreement #1”) with certain
institutional investors, pursuant to which it agreed to sell 714,286 shares (the “July 2025 Shares #1”) of its common stock,
at a purchase price of $7.00 per share (the “July 2025 Offering #1”) for gross proceeds of approximately $5 million, prior
to deducting placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company used approximately $320,000
of the net proceeds from the July 2025 Offering #1 for the repayment of certain outstanding promissory notes and intend to use the remainder
for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The July 2025 Shares #1 were offered pursuant to the Company’s shelf
registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-267921), which was declared effective by the Securities Exchange Commission on October
26, 2022.
Concurrently
with the sale of July 2025 Shares #1 pursuant to the July 2025 Purchase Agreement #1 in a private placement, for each July 2025 Share
#1 purchased by the investors, such investors received an unregistered warrant (the “July 2025 Investor Warrants #1”) to
purchase one share of the Company’s common stock, or 714,286 shares in the aggregate. The July 2025 Investor Warrants #1 have an
exercise price of $6.88 per share and are exercisable immediately upon issuance for a twenty-four month period following the date of
effectiveness of resale registration statement providing for a resale of the shares underlying the July 2025 Investor Warrants #1, which
resale registration statement is required to be filed within 30 days of the July 2025 Purchase Agreement #1.
In
connection with the July 2025 Offering #1, the Company paid Wainwright, as placement agent an aggregate cash fee equal to 7.5% of the
gross proceeds from the sale of securities in the July 2025 Offering #1 and a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised
in the July 2025 Offering #1. We also issued Wainwright (or its designees) a warrant (the “Placement Agent Warrants #1”)
to purchase up to 7.5% of the aggregate number of July 2025 Shares #1 sold in the offering, or warrants to purchase up to 53,571 shares
of Common Stock, at an exercise price equal to 125.0% of the offering price per share of the Company’s common stock, or $8.75 per
share. In addition, upon the cash exercise of July 2025 Warrants #1, the Company also agreed to issue Wainwright (or its designees) additional
Placement Agent Warrants to purchase an amount of share of Common Stock equal to 7.5% of the aggregate number of July 2025 Investor Warrants
Shares #2 issued upon cash exercise of the July 2025 Investor Warrants #1. The Placement Agent Warrants #! are (or will be) exercisable
immediately upon issuance for a period of five years following the commencement of the sales pursuant to the July 2025 Offering #1.
The
closing of the sales of these securities under the July 2025 Purchase Agreement #1 took place on July 7, 2025.
Horizon
License
On
June 26, 2025, we entered into a Horizon Software Agreement (the “Horizon Agreement’) with Horizon Globex GmbH, a company
incorporated in Switzerland (“Horizon”) pursuant to which Horizon granted us a royalty free, paid-up, non-exclusive, perpetual,
irrevocable, unrestricted license to use the Licensed Software (as defined in the Horizon Agreement) with our branding and image, in
the United States to provide capital-raising and secondary trading services to its clients in consideration for the issuance of 500,0000

either party upon a default in the performance of any material obligation under the Agreement is not cured within 30-days after receipt
of such notice. In addition, the Horizon Agreement may be terminated immediately by either party in the event the other party files or
has filed against it any petition for relief under any bankruptcy statute or similar statute of any jurisdiction, or an order for relief
in any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding is entered against the other party and such order remains undischarged for a period of
sixty (60) days; or a receiver is appointed for the other Party; or the other party is dissolved or liquidated, or ceases to carry on
its business, or makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors.
ATM
Increase
On
June 23, 2025, we filed a prospectus supplement under our At-The-Market-Offering Agreement with Wainwright for an aggregate of $975,000
of additional shares of our common stock. From June
23, 2025 to June 25, 2025, we sold 229,404 shares of our common stock through Wainwright at an average price of approximately $4.25 per
share, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $974,747, for which it paid Wainwright approximately $29,242 in commissions
and other issuance costs of $1,438, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $944,067.
June
2025 Private Placement
On
June 10, 2025, we entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with ten accredited investors to issue
an aggregate of 118,750 shares (the “June 2025 Shares”) of our common stock at a purchase price of $4.00 per share (the “Purchase
Price”) in a private placement, for gross proceeds of $475,000. We agreed to file a registration statement on providing for the
resale of the Shares (the “Resale Registration Statement”) within 60 calendar days of the initial closing of the private
placement (the “Filing Date”) and to use reasonable best efforts to cause the Resale Registration Statement to be declared
effective by the SEC within 90 calendar days following the final closing of the private placement date of the Filing Date. Until the
June 2025 shares are sold in accordance with applicable law, the Subscriber agrees to vote the shares in favor of all resolutions recommended
by our Board of Directors, and to deliver any proxy or voting instruction required by us to effectuate this obligation. The Subscription
Agreements include a price adjustment provision whereby if the Company issues additional shares at a price lower than the Purchase Price
during the period beginning on the date of the Subscription Agreements and prior to the date that is 6-months following the Filing Date,
investors will receive additional shares to reflect the lower price, subject to the minimum price as defined under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d)
on the date the Subscription Agreements were signed, which was $2.56. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for
general corporate purposes.

Amendment
to Netcapital 2023 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
On
June 6, 2025, our board of directors approved an amendment (the “Plan Amendment”) to the Netcapital 2023 Omnibus Equity Incentive
Plan (the “Plan”) subject to stockholder approval, to: (i) increase the number of shares
authorized for issuance under the Plan to 1,547,556 shares, and (ii) crease the evergreen limit from 5% to 10% of our outstanding shares,
to allow for greater flexibility in future equity awards.
Formation
of Advisory Boards
On
June 6, 2025, our Board of Directors approved the formation of two strategic advisory boards: the Crypto Advisory Board and the Game
Advisory Board.
We
entered into advisory agreements with each member of the Crypto and Game Advisory Boards. Under these advisory agreements, each advisor
will provide us with sector-specific strategic guidance, marketing insight, partnership referrals, and other advisory services relevant
to their industry expertise. The initial term of each advisory agreement is eighteen months and may be extended by mutual agreement of
the parties. In consideration of the services rendered under these advisory agreements, we issued a total of 783,722 non-qualified stock
options to the advisors of the Crypto and Game Advisory Boards under the Plan as amended by the Plan Amendment. Such options are not
exercisable unless and until our stockholders approve the Plan Amendment.
May
2025 Note Financings
In
May 2025, we completed the sale of debt pursuant to two separate securities purchase agreements with 1800 Diagonal Lending LLC, a Virginia
limited liability company, under which it issued the following convertible promissory notes:
●
A
convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $61,360, for a purchase price of $52,000, reflecting an original issue discount
of $9,360. The note carried a one-time interest charge of 12% and is repayable in ten (10) monthly payments of $6,872.30 beginning
May 30, 2025. It matures on February 28, 2026 and is convertible into shares of common stock following an event of default, subject
to a 25% discount to the then-current market price, subject to Nasdaq shareholder approval limits. We prepaid the note in full on
July 8, 2025, with a remittance of $52,779 after having made two of the 10 scheduled monthly payments.
●
A
second convertible bridge note in the principal amount of $64,960, for a purchase price of $56,000, with an original issue discount
of $8,960. The note also carried a 12% one-time interest charge and is repayable in five (5) monthly payments beginning October 30,
2025. It shares the same maturity date and default-based conversion rights as the first note. We prepaid the note in full on July
8, 2025, with a remittance of $69,845.
On
May 1, 2025, we completed a private financing transaction with a single accredited investor and issued an unsecured, non-convertible
promissory note in the principal amount of $400,000. The note was issued at a 50% OID for gross proceeds of $200,000. The note bears
interest at 8% per annum, matures three months from the issuance date, and is prepayable at any time without penalty. In the event of
default, the interest rate increases to 20% per annum. The note is due on August 1, 2025
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The
following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and related notes to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements
that relate to future events or our future financial performance. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any
future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Results
of Operations
Comparison
of the Three Months Ended July 31, 2025 and 2024
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.
The
components of revenue were as follows:
July 31, 2025
July 31, 2024
Portal fees
$ 122,728
$ 89,429
Listing fees
5,000
42,500
Game website revenue
135
171
Portal 1% equity fee
62,195
10,127
Total
$ 190,058
$ 142,227
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.
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.
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.
- 26 -
Costs
of revenues decreased by $2,811 to $7,409, or approximately 28% for the three months ended July 31, 2025 from $10,220 during the three
months ended July 31, 2024. The decrease was attributed to a decrease in costs from the escrow bank that the funding portal uses.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Consulting
expense decreased by $25,330, or 26%, to $72,051 for the three months ended July 31, 2025 from $97,381 during the three months ended
July 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributed to a decrease in individual contractors used by the Company.
Amortization
expense amounted to $8,869 for each of the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024. There were no additions to or deletions of the
intangible assets that are being amortized during these periods.
Interest
expense increased by $25,603 to $36,067, or approximately 245%, for the three months ended July 31, 2025, as compared to $10,464 during
the three months ended July 31, 2024. The increase in interest expense was attributed to increased debt amounts from notes that were
sold in March, April and May of 2025.
Accretion
expense amounted to $356,404 in the three months ended July 31, 2025. There was no accretion in the three months ended July 31, 2024.
The Company sold 4 notes, and each note contained an original issuance discount that was accreted in three months ended July 31, 2025.
The
Company owned 8,989 shares of a funding portal issuer at a cost of $5.00 per share. On May 30, 2025, the issuer closed an offering at
a price of $10.00 per share. As a result, the Company marked its investment to market and recorded an unrealized gain of $44,945 in the
first quarter of fiscal 2026. No unrealized gains or losses were recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of July 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4,562,491 and working capital of $186,766 as compared to cash and cash equivalents
of $289,428 and negative working capital of $5,096,155 as of April 30, 2025.
We
have been successful in raising capital by completing public offerings of our common stock.

On
July 16, 2025, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which we agreed to sell
641,712 shares of our common stock, at a purchase price of $4.675 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $3 million, prior to
deducting placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses payable by us. Each share of commons stock was also sold with a warrant
to purchase one share of common stock with an exercise price of $4.55 per share. The shares were offered pursuant to our shelf registration
statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-267921), which was declared effective by the Securities Exchange Commission on October 26, 2022.
This offering closed in July 17, 2025.
On
July 2, 2025, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which we agreed to sell
714,286 shares of our common stock, at a purchase price of $7.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $5 million, prior to deducting
placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses payable by us. Each share of commons stock was also sold with a warrant to purchase
one share of common stock with an exercise price of $6.88 per share. We used approximately $320,000 of the net proceeds for repayment
of outstanding promissory notes and intend to use the remainder for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The shares
were offered pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-267921), which was declared effective by the Securities
Exchange Commission on October 26, 2022.
On
June 23, 2025, the Company filed a prospectus supplement with respect to our At-The-Market-Offering Agreement with Wainwright for an
aggregate of $975,000 of additional shares of our common stock. From
June 23, 2025 to June 25, 2025, 2025, we sold 229,404 shares of our common stock through Wainwright at an average price of approximately
$4.25 per share, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $974,747, for which it paid Wainwright approximately $29,242
in commissions and other issuance costs of $1,438, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $944,067. No additional
shares will be sold under this ATM Agreement unless an additional prospectus supplement is filed.
On
June 10, 2025, we entered into subscription agreements with ten accredited investors to issue an aggregate of 118,750 shares of
common stock at a purchase price of $4.00 per share (the “Purchase Price”) in a private placement, for gross proceeds of
$475,000. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement on providing for the resale of the Shares within 60 calendar days
of the initial closing of the private placement (the “Filing Date”) and to use reasonable best efforts to cause the
Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 90 calendar days following the final closing of the private
placement date of the Filing Date. The subscription agreements include a price adjustment provision whereby if the Company issues
additional shares at a price lower than the Purchase Price during the period beginning on the date of the subscription agreements
and prior to April 19, 2026, investors will receive additional shares to reflect the lower price, subject to the minimum price as
defined under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) on the date the subscription agreements were signed, which was $2.56. The Company intends to use
the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes.
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. 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.
Year
over Year Changes
Net
cash used in operating activities amounted to $4,214,258 and $1,963,645 for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The principal sources of cash from operating activities in the three months ended July 31, 2025 were an increase in accretion of short-term
notes of $356,413 and stock-based compensation of $516,073. However, the sources of cash were offset by a net loss of $3,642,052, a receipt
of equity in lieu of cash of $62,195, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,041,094.
The
principal sources of cash from operating activities in the three months ended July 31, 2024 were an increase in account payable and accrued
expense of $313,620, collection of accounts receivable of $134,849, and stock-based compensation of $139,371. However, the sources of
cash were offset by a net loss of $2,527,170, a receipt of equity in lieu of cash of $10,127, and an increase in prepaid expenses of
$24,856.

Critical
Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our
condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make certain
estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements.
We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these
estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions
and actual results, our financial statements will be affected. For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates, please read Part
II, Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2025 filed with the SEC on August 12, 2025. There have been no material changes to the critical
accounting estimates previously disclosed in such report.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective or Adopted
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material impact
on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The
Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined
in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As
of July 31, 2025, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based on that evaluation, they concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
This
conclusion is consistent with the assessment included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2025, which identified:
● A
material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the over-accrual
of legal expenses, and
● A
significant deficiency related to the process for identifying and evaluating evidence of
orderly transactions and impairment indicators for investments in equity securities without
readily determinable fair values.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 31, 2025 that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Remediation
Efforts
Management is in the process of implementing its remediation plan, which includes:
● Enhanced
period-end closing procedures for accrued expenses, including review of subsequent disbursements,
vendor statements, and improved communication between management and accounting personnel
regarding transaction timing; and
● Updated
investment valuation policies requiring the collection and review of recent financial information
from investees, enhanced documentation of efforts to obtain such information, and treating
the lack of availability as a potential impairment indicator.
At
this time, remediation efforts have not yet been completed, and management is continuing to evaluate the effectiveness of the updated
controls and procedures. Until remediation is completed and the enhanced controls have operated for a sufficient period of time, management
cannot conclude that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting are effective.
Limitations
on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how
well designed and operated, 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.
In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management
is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART
II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, we may be subject to litigation and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We are
not currently a party to any material legal proceedings and we are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceeding against us
that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, our business, including
our funding portal and broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulations. Regulatory bodies include, but are not limited
to, the SEC, FINRA, and the Nasdaq Stock Market. As a result, f rom
time to time, we may be subject to various regulatory inquiries, governmental investigations, or other claims arising in the ordinary
course of our business related to our operations and/or compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Further, while the Company fully
cooperates with such matters, the cost of responding to such matters, including legal fees can be extensive, and the outcome of any of
these matters is inherently uncertain. These matters may also divert financial and management resources that would otherwise be used to
benefit our operations. No assurances can be given that the results of these matters will be favorable to us, and an adverse outcome in
any such matter could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, and results of operations.
ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS.
Risk
factors that affect our business and financial results are discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2025 as filed with the SEC on August 12, 2025 (“Annual Report”). There have been
no material changes in our risk factors from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report , except
as discussed below . You should carefully consider the risks described in our Annual Report, which could materially affect our
business, financial condition, or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional
risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our
business, financial condition, and/or operating results. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, and/or
results of operations could be negatively affected.
Our
financial situation creates doubt whether we will continue as a going concern.
As
of July 31, 2025, we had working capital of $186,766 and for the three months ended July 31, 2025, we had an operating loss of $3,285,648
and net cash used in operating activities amounted to $4,214,258. 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. Our management is focused on growing our funding portal
business, which generates cash revenues and has experienced revenue growth. We also plan to expand our broker-dealer operations and are
seeking clients interested in conducting Regulation D offerings through our platform at netcapital.com. In addition, we plan to seek
additional financing through private placements, public offerings, and/or bank financing. However, based on our recent operating history
and negative cash flows from operations, management has determined that these plans are unlikely to sufficiently alleviate or mitigate,
to a necessary extent, the relevant conditions and 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, our 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 its 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.
Our
business and operations could be negatively affected if we become subject to any securities litigation or shareholder activism, which
could cause us to incur significant expense, hinder execution of business and growth strategy and impact our stock price.
In
the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has
often been brought against that company. Shareholder activism, which could take many forms or arise in a variety of situations, has been
increasing recently. Volatility in the stock price of our Common Stock or other reasons may in the future cause us to become the target
of securities litigation or shareholder activism. Securities litigation and shareholder activism, including potential proxy contests,
could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and the attention and resources of our board of directors (our
“Board”) from our business. Additionally, such securities litigation and shareholder activism could give rise to perceived
uncertainties as to our future, adversely affect our relationships with service providers and make it more difficult to attract and retain
qualified personnel. Also, we may be required to incur significant legal fees and other expenses related to any securities litigation
and activist shareholder matters. Further, our stock price could be subject to significant fluctuation or otherwise be adversely affected
by the events, risks and uncertainties of any securities litigation and shareholder activism
- 31 -
Regulatory
and legal uncertainties could harm our business.
From
time to time, we may become involved in litigation or regulatory proceedings the ordinary course of our business, including litigation
or regulatory proceedings that could be material to our business
In
addition, the securities industry is highly regulated and many aspects of our business involve substantial risk of liability. In past
years, there has been an increasing incidence of litigation involving the securities industry, including class action suits that generally
seek substantial damages, including in some cases punitive damages. Compliance problems that are reported to federal, state and provincial
regulators, exchanges or other self-regulatory organizations by dissatisfied customers are investigated by such regulatory bodies, and,
if pursued by such regulatory body or such customers, may rise to the level of arbitration or disciplinary action. We are also subject
to periodic regulatory audits and inspections for various federal, self-regulatory and state regulators. Any such audits and inspections
could require significant amounts of management time, result in the diversion of significant operational resources, require us to change
our business practices or products, result in sanctions being levied against us, including fines and censures, suspension or expulsion
from a certain jurisdiction or market or the revocation or limitation of licenses, result in negative publicity, or otherwise harm our
business and financial results.
Pending
Regulatory Inquiries
Our
businesses are heavily regulated by state and federal regulatory agencies as well as the Securities & Exchange Commission, the
Nasdaq Stock Market and FINRA. In the current era of heightened regulatory scrutiny of financial institutions, we have incurred
increased legal and compliance costs, along with the industry as a whole. Increased regulation also creates increased barriers to
entry.
We
receive many regulatory inquiries each year in addition to being subject to frequent regulatory examinations. The great majority of
these inquiries do not lead to fines or any further action against us. We are routinely the subject of regulatory inquiries
regarding subjects including, but not limited to: anti-money laundering, compliance, registration, record-keeping, disclosure and
other topics of recent regulatory interest. We have procedures for evaluating whether potential regulatory fines are probable,
estimable and material and for updating its contingency reserves and disclosures accordingly. In the current climate, we expect that
we may, from time to time, be subject to regulatory fines on various topics on an ongoing basis, as other regulated financial
services businesses do. The amount of any fines, and when and if they will be incurred, typically is impossible to predict given the
nature of the regulatory process, and the cost of responding to such inquiries and matters can be significant.
We
have substantial customer concentration, with a limited number of customers accounting for a substantial portion of our revenues.
We
currently derive a significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of customers. There are inherent risks whenever a large
percentage of total revenues are concentrated with a limited number of customers. For the three months ended July 31, 2025, we had one
customer that constituted 73% of its revenues and for the three months ended July 31, 2024, we had one customer that constituted 15%
of revenues. It is not possible for us to predict the future level of demand for our services that will be generated by these customers
or new customers, or the future demand for the products and services of these customers or new customers. If any of these customers experience
declining or delayed sales due to market, economic or competitive conditions, we could be pressured to reduce the prices we charge for
our products which could have an adverse effect on our margins and financial position and could negatively affect our revenues and results
of operations and/or trading price of our common stock.
