ITEM
9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures”
(as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of April 30, 2025, the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on
Form 10-K, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information required to be disclosed
by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. 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.
(b)
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).
Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance wit h
GAAP. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined
to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
As
of April 30, 2025, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based
on the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework - 2013. Based on
this assessment, our management concluded that, as of April 30, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was not
effective. Management identified a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting related to the over-accrual of
legal expenses for two law firms during the year. This weakness indicates that the Company’s policies and procedures for
recording accrued expenses did not operate effectively to ensure that such accruals were not overstated at period-end.
In addition, management identified a significant
deficiency in internal controls over financial reporting related to the process for identifying and evaluating evidence of orderly transactions and indicators of impairment
for investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values, particularly for investees with related party relationships.
While the Company has a qualitative framework for operational and organizational factors, it did not consistently obtain or review recent
financial information from investees as part of its annual impairment analysis.
Remediation Plan
Management is committed to remediate the identified material weakness
and significant deficiency, as well as the improvement of the Company’s overall internal control over financial reporting. Remediation
efforts will include:
- Implementing 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.
- Updating inve stment
valuation policies to require obtaining and reviewing recent financial information from investees, documenting efforts to obtain such
information, and treating the lack of availability as a potential impairment indicator.
We
will not be able to conclude whether the actions we are taking will fully remediate the material weakness in our internal control over
financial reporting until the updated controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing,
that such controls are operating effectively. We may also conclude that additional measures may be required to remediate the material
weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which may necessitate further action.
Attestation
Report of our Registered Public Accounting Firm
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control
over financial reporting. As a smaller reporting company, our management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered
public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
(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 April 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of NetCapital
Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets of NetCapital Inc. (“the Company”) as of April 30, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended April 30, 2025, and the related
notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2025 and 2024 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the years in the two-year period ended April 30, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 13 to the financial statements, the Company has a negative
working capital, operating losses, and negative cash flows from operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in
Note 13. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards
of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform,
an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are
matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the
audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially
challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the
financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions
on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Valuation of Investments
Description of the Critical Audit Matter
As discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company has investments in several entities which require the Company to initially value based on offering prices that
are not considered observable and to periodically evaluate potential impairment by assessing whether the carrying value of the investments
exceeds the estimated fair value, or by monitoring observable price changes from orderly transactions to measure estimated fair value.
Auditing management’s analysis includes tests that are complex and highly judgmental due to the estimation required to determine
the fair value of each of the underlying investees. In particular, fair value estimates are sensitive to significant assumptions and factors
such as expectations about future market and economic conditions, revenue growth rates, strategic plans, and historical operating results,
among others.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the
Audit
Our principal audit procedures to evaluate management’s
valuation of investments consisted of the following, among others:
1. Obtained and analyzed management’s
assessment of impairment, including review of third-party market data, public filings, financial information, and funding activities of
a selection of investee entities.
2. As part of this analysis, reviewed for
events or transactions that suggest orderly transactions of investee equity securities.
3. For a selection of investments, confirmed
percentage of ownership directly with investees to determined appropriate classification.

AS
OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED APRIL 30, 2025 AND 2024
1.
Description of Business and Summary of Accounting Principles
Description
of Business
Netcapital
Inc. (“Netcapital,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a fintech company with a scalable
technology platform that allows private companies to raise capital online and provides private equity investment opportunities to investors.
The company’s consulting group, Netcapital Advisors, provides marketing and strategic advice and takes equity positions in select
companies with disruptive technologies. The Netcapital funding portal is registered with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission
(SEC) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), a registered national securities association. Netcapital
Securities is a broker-dealer registered with FINRA.
The
consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company’s fiscal year ends April 30.
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.
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.
Segment
Reporting
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.
F- 7
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income
and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible.
The
Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained
on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial
statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized
upon settlement with the tax authorities. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment
occurs. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in income tax expense. The
Company has determined that it had no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition or disclosure.
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. Beginning in fiscal year 2024, the funding portal
also receives a fee of 1 % of the equity sold by an issuer that utilized the funding portal’s services. 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.
Judgments
and Estimates
The
estimation of variable consideration for each performance obligation requires the Company to make subjective judgments. The Company may
enter 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.
F- 8
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 credit losses based on the aging of receivables, historical collection experience, and customer-specific factors, including
recent communications. Estimated credit losses are recognized as operating expenses and recorded as a reduction to accounts receivable.
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 is recognized upon transfer of control. Balances
consist primarily of annual plan subscription 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.
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 years ended April 30,
2025 and 2024, which amounted to $ 869,460 and $ 4,951,435 , respectively, are considered contract revenues. Contract revenue as of April
30, 2025 and 2024, which has not yet been recognized, amounted to $ 330 and $ 466 , respectively, and is recorded on the balance sheet as
deferred revenue. The Company expects to recognize revenue on all of its remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months.
F- 9
Disaggregation
of Revenue
Our
revenue is from U.S.-based companies with no notable geographical concentrations in any area. A distinction exists in revenue source;
our revenues are either generated online or from personal services.
Revenues
disaggregated by revenue source consist of the following:

Earnings
Per Share
Basic
net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of vested, unrestricted
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the if-converted
method.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The
Company did not have any cash equivalents during fiscal 2025 and 2024. The Company uses three financial institutions for its cash balances
and has maintained cash balances that exceed federally insured limits.
Accounts
Receivable
The
Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, maintaining
an allowance for potential credit losses. Accounts receivable are reported net of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
The
allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s estimate of the dollar amount of accounts receivable that will not be
collected. This estimate is determined through a detailed review process, which includes several factors:
1.
Historical
Loss Experience: The Company analyzes its historical write-offs to establish a baseline for expected credit losses.
2.
Aging
of Receivables: Accounts receivable are categorized based on the age of the outstanding balance. Older balances generally have a
higher likelihood of being uncollectible.
3.
Customer
Creditworthiness: The Company performs credit evaluations on its customers to assess their financial health and payment history.
4.
Economic
Conditions: Current and forecasted economic conditions are considered, as they may impact the ability of customers to pay their invoices.
5.
Industry
Trends: Trends and conditions specific to the industry in which the Company operates are evaluated.
Based
on management’s comprehensive review, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $ 353,455 as of April 30, 2025
and 2024.
Notes
Receivable
The
Company occasionally provides loans to other entities and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its notes receivable portfolio. An allowance
for credit losses is established when necessary to reflect management’s estimate of expected losses over the life of the loans.
The
methodology for determining the allowance includes the following considerations:
1. Borrower
Credit Risk: Evaluation of the borrower’s creditworthiness at origination and during
the life of the loan.
2. Historical
Loss Experience: Review of historical default rates and recovery trends, adjusted for current
circumstances where appropriate.
3. Loan
Performance Monitoring: Ongoing assessment of payment history, covenant compliance (if applicable),
and the borrower’s current financial condition.
4. Collateral
Value: For secured loans, the estimated fair value and liquidity of the collateral.
5. Macroeconomic
Factors: Consideration of current and expected future economic conditions that may affect
borrowers’ ability to repay.
The
allowance is adjusted as new information becomes available or as conditions change. During the years ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, the
Company recorded a charge of $ 174,400 and $ 0 , respectively, to write off notes receivable that were determined to be uncollectible. These
amounts were removed from both the notes receivable balance and the related allowance.
F- 10
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets with finite useful lives are measured at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The useful
life is based on the term of the underlying agreement or the period over which the asset is expected to contribute to future cash flows.
These assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
If indicators of impairment exist, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset group to the undiscounted future cash flows
expected to be generated. If the carrying amount exceeds those cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount by which the
carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset group.
Intangible
assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of
funding portal technology acquired in a business combination. The technology enables the operation of the Company’s Regulation
Crowdfunding, Regulation A and Regulation D platform and is expected to generate benefits over an indefinite period due to its ongoing
user base and regulatory approvals. The fair value of the funding portal technology is estimated based on a market approach, considering
the number of active users and investors, engagement metrics, and comparable market transactions. If the fair value is determined to
be less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount of the excess.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
Authoritative
guidance requires that certain assets be reviewed for impairment and, if impaired, remeasured at fair value whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Impairment loss estimates are primarily based
upon management’s analysis and review of the carrying value of long-lived assets at each balance sheet date, utilizing an undiscounted
future cash flow calculation. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $ 19,915,556 and $ 1,048,430 in fiscal 2025 and 2024.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock
Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including the vesting of restricted stock grants to employees, to
be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to
compensation expense and credited to common stock and capital in excess of par value during the period during which services are rendered.
The
Company follows ASC Topic 505-50, formerly EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees
for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services,” for common stock issued to consultants and other non-employees.
These shares of common stock are issued as compensation for services provided to the Company and are accounted for based upon the fair
market value of the common stock. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense, or to prepaid
expenses in instances where stock was issued under a contractual arrangement to a consultant who agreed to provide services over a period
of time.
Advertising
Expenses
Advertising
and marketing expenses are recorded separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and are expensed as incurred.
Equity
Securities
All
investments in equity securities are initially measured at cost. Cost is based upon either the cost of the investment, the fair value
of the services provided or the estimated market value of the investment at the time it was acquired, whichever can be more clearly determined.
The
Company has elected the measurement alternative for equity securities without readily determinable fair values. Under this alternative,
if the Company identifies an observable price change in an orderly transaction for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer,
the Company measures the equity security at fair value as of the date that the observable transaction occurred. Any adjustments resulting
from observable price changes are recognized in earnings.
The
Company monitors these investments for changes in observable prices from orderly transactions and assesses them for impairment. If an
equity security is deemed to be impaired, an impairment loss is recognized in earnings, measured as the difference between the investment’s
cost and its fair value at the impairment assessment date.
Use
of Estimates
In
preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 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.

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.
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.

The
Company owes $ 34,324 as of April 30, 2025 and 2024 to Chase Bank. For the loan from Chase Bank, the Company pays interest only on a monthly
basis, which represents a rate of 10.5 % per annum as of April 30, 2025.
On
June 17, 2020 the Company borrowed $ 500,000 (the “June 2020 Loan”), and on February 2, 2021, the Company borrowed $ 1,885,800
(the “February 2021 Loan”) from a U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan program.
The
June 2020 Loan required installment payments of $ 2,437 monthly, beginning on June 17, 2021, over a term of thirty years . However, the
SBA postponed the first installment payment for 18 months, and the first payment became due on December 17, 2022 . The monthly payments
of $ 2,437 are first applied to accrued interest payable. The monthly payments will not be applied to any of the outstanding principal
balance until 2026. Consequently, the entire loan balance of $ 500,000 is classified as a long term liability. Interest accrues at a rate
of 3.75 % per annum. The Company agreed to grant a continuing security interest in its assets to secure payment and performance of all
debts, liabilities, and obligations to the SBA. The June 2020 Loan was personally guaranteed by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.
Accrued interest payable for the June 2020 Loan as of April 30, 2025 and 2024 amounted to $ 20,611 and $ 31,207 , respectively.
The
February 2021 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 2021 Loan. Accrued interest payable for the February 2021 Loan as of April 30,
2025 and 2024 amounted to $ 80,186 and $ 61,276 , 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
amount of $ 161,787 .
The
Note bears a one-time interest charge of 12 % and was scheduled to mature on January 30, 2026 . The Note required repayment in five monthly
installments beginning on September 30, 2025, for a total contractual repayment amount of $ 203,324 . Under the terms of the Note, the
Company had the option to prepay the outstanding balance. On July 8, 2025, the Company exercised this option and paid the Note in full
with a remittance of $ 197,225 .
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 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 .

Note
8 – Fair Value
The
Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures
of financial instruments on a recurring basis.
Cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable
In
general, carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
F- 18
Fair
Value Hierarchy
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 April 30, 2025 and 2024:

Determination
of Fair Value
Under
the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company bases its 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 the Company’s 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, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, that could significantly affect the results of current
or future value.

The
Company utilizes office space at 1 Lincoln Street in Boston, Massachusetts, under an office membership agreement. The Company pays a
monthly membership fee of approximately $ 6,600 . The agreement is cancellable by the Company with 60 days’ notice. As of April 30,
2025, the Company had a refundable security deposit of $ 6,300 related to the agreement.
Note
11 – 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. The Netcapital
Funding Portal acquired brand of $ 532,118 is subject to amortization over a 15 year period. The acquired users valued at $ 14,271,836
have an indefinite life. 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. As of April 30, 2024, the Company determined that the intangible assets associated
with its acquisition of MSG Development Corp. and a website that focused on booking live video calls with retired professional hockey
players was impaired, and the Company recorded an impairment expense of $ 1,048,430 for the year ended April 30, 2024.
The
following table sets forth the major categories of the intangible assts as of April 30, 2025 and 2024.

Note
13 – Going Concern Matters and Realization of Assets
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. However, as of April 30, 2025, the Company had negative working capital of $ 5,096,155
and for the year ended April 30 2025, the Company had an operating loss of $ 8,321,317 and net cash used in operating activities amounted
to $ 5,339,211 .
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 received approval from FINRA to generate revenues from Regulation A and D offerings to complement its funding
portal business, which was the primary source of cash revenues for the Company. The Company plans to raise money from private placements,
public offerings and/or bank financing, and was able to complete two registered direct offerings in July 2025 for aggregate gross proceeds
of $ 8 million. In addition, in May 2025, the Company sold a convertible promissory note, a convertible bridge note, and a non-convertible
promissory note for net proceeds of $ 52,000 , $ 56,000 and $ 200,000 , respectively. On June 10, 2025, the Company issued an aggregate of
118,750 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $ 4.00 per share in a private placement to ten accredited investors, resulting
in gross proceeds of $ 475,000 . In June 2025, under its existing “at-the-market program,” it received net proceeds of $ 944,067
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
14 – Subsequent Events
The
Company evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were available to be issued.
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 .
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. 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.
● 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. The
Company prepaid the note in full on July 8, 2025, with a remittance of $ 69,845 .
On
May 1, 2025, the Company 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.
On
June 6, 2025, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Netcapital 2023 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2023
Plan”), subject to stockholder approval (the “Amendment”), to:
●
Increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2023 Plan to 1,547,556 shares; and
●
Increase the evergreen limit from 5% to 10% of the Company’s outstanding shares, to provide greater flexibility for future equity
awards.
In
conjunction with the Amendment, the Company granted additional non-qualified stock options under the Plan to Martin Kay, Chief Executive
Officer, and Coreen Kraysler, Chief Financial Officer, each receiving 100,000 options. These options:
●
Are fully vested as of the grant date;
●
Have a four 4 -year
term;
●
Have an exercise price of $ 2.68 per share; and
●
Are not exercisable unless and until the Amendment is approved by stockholders.
The
aggregate grant-date fair value of these options, calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, is $ 822,900 .
F- 27
On
June 9, 2025, the Company also granted stock options under the Plan to Mr. Kay and Ms. Kraysler, each receiving 55,000 options and an
additional 45,000 options to an employee of the Company. These options:
●
Are immediately exercisable and fully vested;
●
Have a four 4 -year
term;
●
Have an exercise price of $ 2.68 per share, which was equal to the fair market value on the grant date;
●
Were structured to qualify as incentive stock options to the extent permitted under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Any excess
value over the $100,000 statutory threshold will be treated as non-qualified stock options.
The
Company also entered into advisory agreements with members of the Crypto and Game Advisory Boards. Each advisor will provide strategic
guidance, marketing insight, partnership referrals, and other services relevant to their sector expertise. The initial term of each agreement
is eighteen months, extendable by mutual agreement. In consideration, the Company granted 783,722 non-qualified stock options to the
advisors under the Plan, as amended by the Amendment.
In
addition, 80,000 non-qualified stock options were granted to one employee. All 863,722 stock options:
●
Are fully vested as of the grant date (June 6, 2025);
●
Are not exercisable unless and until the Amendment is approved by stockholders;
●
Have a four 4 -year
term from the date of grant;
●
Have an exercise price of $ 2.68 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant.
The
aggregate grant-date fair value of the 863,722 options, calculated under the Black-Scholes option pricing model, is $ 2,293,000 .
On
June 10, 2025, the Company issued an aggregate of 118,750 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $ 4.00 per share in a private
placement to ten accredited investors, resulting in gross proceeds of $ 475,000 .
The
subscription agreements for this offering contain a price adjustment feature. If the Company issues additional shares below $ 4.00 per
share during the adjustment period, the investors will be entitled to receive additional shares to effectively reduce their purchase
price. However, the effective price per share cannot be adjusted below the Minimum Price, which was $ 2.68 per share, as defined under
Nasdaq Rule 5635(d).
Under
its existing “at-the-market” program with H.C. Wainwright, the Company filed a prospectus supplement on June 23, 2025, adding
$ 975,000 to its capacity under the ATM program. 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 .
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 the Company a royalty free, paid-up, non-exclusive,

image, in the United States to provide capital-raising and secondary trading services to its clients in consideration for the issuance
of 500,0000 shares (the “Horizon Shares”) of our common stock to Horizon or its affiliate. The Horizon Agreement may be terminated
by 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.
On
July 2, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with institutional investors to sell 714,286 shares of common
stock at a price of $ 7.00 per share under a registered direct offering. Each share was sold together with a warrant to purchase one share
of common stock, with an exercise price of $ 6.88 per share. The warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance for a period of 24
