NETCAPITAL
INC.
Notes
To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1– Basis of Presentation
Netcapital
Inc. (“we,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a fintech company dedicated to democratizing private
capital markets. We help companies at all stages to build, grow and fund their businesses with a full range of services from strategic
advice to raising capital. One of our subsidiaries, Netcapital Funding Portal Inc., which we purchased effective November 5, 2020,
allows companies to close capital digitally and provides investors access to pre-IPO investment opportunities. A second subsidiary,
Netcapital Advisors Inc., which we incorporated in Delaware on August 25, 2020, provides professional advice to entrepreneurs
and assists companies with digital marketing, business planning and raising capital. The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries after elimination of significant intercompany balances and transactions.
The Company has an April 30 fiscal year end.
The accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
the nine- and three-month periods ended January 31, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021. For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and footnotes thereto
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2020.
In June 2016,
the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses . The new guidance provides better representation
about expected credit losses on financial instruments. This update requires the use of a methodology that reflects expected losses
and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportive information to inform credit loss estimates.
This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The company
is studying the impact of adopting the ASU in fiscal year 2023, and what effect it could have. The Company believes the accounting
change would not have a material effect on the financial statements.
In June 2018,
the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvement to Nonemployee Share-based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based
payments. The company elected early adoption of this ASU, using the modified retrospective approach, so that all stock compensation
to employees and nonemployees is treated under the same guidance as in ASC 718.
In
December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying
the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This guidance had no
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
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.
Note 2
– 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, the Company has negative working capital and short-term debt of more
than $2,500,000. In addition, the Company may be unable to meet all of its obligations as they become due. The Company believes
that its existing cash resources may not be sufficient to fund its debt payments and working capital requirements. The Company
anticipates a majority of its debt payments
will be forgiven under the provisions of an SBA loan program, and such forgiveness will alleviate the uncertainty of being able
to fund its debt service requirements
7
The Company
may not be able to raise sufficient additional debt, equity, or other cash on acceptable terms, if at all. Failure to generate
sufficient revenues, obtain loan forgiveness, achieve certain other business plan objectives or raise additional funds could have
a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position, including its ability
to continue as a going concern, and may require it to significantly reduce, reorganize, discontinue or shut down its operations.
In view of
the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance
sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company which, in turn, is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet
its financing requirements on a continuing basis, and to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities
that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in its existence.
Management’s
plans include:
1. Leverage
the rapid month-to-month growth of its recently acquired subsidiary, Netcapital Funding
Portal Inc (“FP”). FP’s revenues have grown every month since October
2020 and FP receives a 4.9% fee on all investments made on Netcapital.com.
2. Renegotiate
the payment terms of an SBA loan.
3. Continue
to provide consulting services and continue to charge both a cash fee and an equity-based
fee, when possible, in exchange for these services.
Management
has determined, based on the debt balances it is carrying, that without debt forgiveness on its SBA loans, it is not probable
that management’s plan will sufficiently alleviate or mitigate, to a sufficient level, the relevant conditions or events
noted above. Accordingly, the management of the Company 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.
Note 3
– Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition under
ASC 606
The Company
recognizes service revenue from its consulting contracts and its 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 bills its customers for professional services and listing fees at a negotiated
price. The portal fee is fixed at 4.9%. Most of the 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.
8
Judgments
and Estimates
The estimation
of variable consideration for each performance obligation requires the Company to make subjective judgments. The Company enters
contracts with customers that regularly include promises to transfer multiple services, such as digital marketing, web-based videos,
offering statements, and professional services. For arrangements with multiple services, the Company evaluates whether the individual
services qualify as distinct performance obligations. In its assessment of whether a service is a distinct performance obligation,
the Company determines whether the customer can benefit from the service on its own or with other readily available resources,
and whether the service is separately identifiable from other services in the contract. This evaluation requires the Company to
assess the nature of each individual service offering and how the services are provided in the context of the contract, including
whether the services are significantly integrated, highly interrelated, or significantly modify each other, which may require
judgment based on the facts and circumstances of the contract.
When agreements
involve multiple distinct performance obligations, the Company allocates arrangement consideration to all performance obligations
at the inception of an arrangement based on the relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) of each performance obligation.
Where the Company has standalone sales data for its performance obligations which are indicative of the price at which the Company
sells a promised service separately to a customer, such data is used to establish SSP. In instances where standalone sales data
is not available for a particular performance obligation, the Company estimates SSP by the use of observable market and cost-based
inputs. The Company continues to review the factors used to establish list price and will adjust standalone selling price methodologies
as necessary on a prospective basis.
Service
Revenue
Service revenue
from subscriptions to the Company's game website is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contractual subscription
term beginning on the date that the platform is made available to the customer. Payments received in advance of subscription services
being rendered are recorded as a deferred revenue. Professional services revenue is recognized over time as the services are rendered.
When a contract
with a customer is signed, the Company assesses whether collection of the fees under the arrangement is probable. The Company
estimates the amount to reserve for uncollectible amounts based on the aging of the contract balance, current and historical customer
trends, and communications with its customers. These reserves are recorded as operating expenses against the contract asset (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 or non-current assets
in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on if their reduction will be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period
or beyond.
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 and training 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.

effective November 1, 2020.
In connection
with the financing, the Company has agreed to certain restrictive covenants, including, among others, that the Company may not
convey, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any part of its business or property, except as permitted in the agreement,
dissolve, liquidate or merge with any other party unless, in the case of a merger, the Company is the surviving entity, incur
any indebtedness except as defined in the agreement, create or allow a lien on any of its assets or collateral that has been pledged
to the Lender, make any loans to any person, except for prepaid items or deposits incurred in the ordinary course of business,
or make any material capital expenditures. To secure the payment of all obligations to the Lender, the Company granted to the
Lender a continuing security interest and first lien on all of the assets of the Company.
As of January
31, 2021 and April 30, 2020, the Company’s related-party unsecured notes payable totaled $22,860 and $15,000, respectively.
There are three notes, payable on demand, with a zero percent interest rate. Two of these notes, totaling $7,860, were not considered
related party loans on April 30, 2020 and were recorded as demand notes payable on that date. The Company also owes $34,324 as

Loan”) from a U.S. Small Business Administration (the "SBA") loan program. The May Loan has an initial term of
two years and an interest rate of 1% per annum. Principal payments are delayed until the Company negotiates with the lender as
to the amount of principal that is subject to repayment. If repayment of the May Loan is required, payments begin after a six-month
deferral period, in which interest accrues, and payments are to be made in equal installments of approximately $106,125 over an
18-month period. Of the $1,885,800 balance, $1,577,388 is considered a short-term liability. Accrued interest payable on the May

Note 6
– Income Taxes
As of January
31, 2021 and April 30, 2020, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately
$700,000 expiring in the years of 2021 through 2035.
The Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act ("Tax Act") was enacted on December 22, 2017. Among numerous provisions, the Tax Act reduced the U.S. federal
corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, required companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries
that were previously tax deferred, and created new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings. As a result of the Tax Act, the
Company remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the
future, which is generally 21%.
As of April
30, 2020, the Company had net deferred tax assets calculated at an expected rate of 21%, or approximately $180,000. As of April
30, 2020, the Company recognized the net deferred asset to the extent of the impact on current book earnings, as the Company’s
management believed that historical, current, and expected earnings are sufficient to meet the more likely than not standard to
enable the Company to recognize the net deferred tax asset. Given that management believes it is more likely than not that the
company will utilize the deferred tax asset, there is no valuation allowance as of January 31, 2021 and April 30, 2020.
11
As
of January 31, 2020, the deferred tax asset has been reduced to $137,712 by the tax provision of $42,288 for the nine months ended
January 31, 2021. For the nine- and three-month periods ended January 31, 2021, the Company recorded tax expense of $42,288 and
$19,890, respectively. Due to the availability
of a net operating loss carryforward in fiscal 2020, for the nine- and three-month periods ended January
31, 2020, the Company recorded no tax expense .

Note 9
– Fair Value
The Fair Value
Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs
to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant
unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level
1: inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company has the ability
to access at the measurement date.
Level
2: inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly.
Level
3: inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Under the
Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, we base fair value on the price that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
It is our policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value
measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. Fair value measurements for assets and liabilities where there exists
limited or no observable market data and, therefore, are based primarily upon management’s own estimates, are often calculated
based on current pricing policy, the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the asset or liability and other
such factors. Therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate
settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes
in the underlying assumptions used.

– Business Acquisition
On August
23, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Agreement”) whereby NetCapital Systems LLC (“Systems”)
would become an 80% owner of the Company. Pursuant to the requirements of this agreement, the Company filed a definitive information
statement on September 21, 2020 to change the Company’s c orporate name from ValueSetters, Inc.
to NetCapital Inc and to a mend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effect a stock
combination, or reverse stock split, pursuant to which 2,000 shares of the Company’s common stock would be exchanged for
one new share of common stock. In conjunction with the merger agreement, the Company issued 1,666,360 to Systems on November 5,
2020.
The Agreement
is a tax-free merger of Netcapital Funding Portal Inc. (“FP”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Systems, with Netcapital
Acquisition Vehicle Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, wherein FP was the surviving corporation. This transaction
is designed to enhance the Company’s revenues and ability to provide services to democratize the private capital markets
while helping companies at all stages to build, grow and fund their businesses with a full range of services from strategic advice
to raising capital. As a result of the transaction, the company is expected to be a leading provider of private capital transactions
for entrepreneurs seeking to raise money under the exemption provided by section 4(a)(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, which
allows private companies to raise up to $5 million every 12 months.
ASC 805-10-25-4
requires the identification of one of the combining entities in each business combination as the acquirer. Upon evaluation of
the components of the business combination, including the relative voting rights in the combined entity, the composition of the
governing body and senior management of the combined entity, the relative size of each entity and the terms of the exchange of
equity interests, the Company recorded the transaction in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 as a purchase. In conjunction with
the purchase, Systems agreed to vote all of its shares of common stock to support the resolutions of the existing board of directors
of the Company.
The following
table summarizes the value of the consideration for FP and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in conjunction
with the Agreement.

The fair value
of the common shares issued as the consideration for FP was determined by the most recent (the prior day’s) closing price
of the Company’s common shares at the time the shares were issued. The fair value of the assets and the liabilities of FP
equaled their book value. Four identifiable intangible assets were valued; platform users, platform investors, platform issuers
and unpatented technology (collectively the “Intangible Assets”). The estimated market value of the Intangible Assets
is approximately $27,800,000. This amount is derived from valuing the IP functionality,
brand, and license of FP at $1,000,000; valuing current issuers and pipeline issuers at approximately $14,000 each; valuing platform
users at $382 each; and valuing investors at $1,025 each. These values are derived from comparing the FP Intangible Assets to
the values recorded by funding portal offerings of FP’s competitors in public filings via Regulations CF and Regulation
A.

The excess
of purchase price over the total identifiable tangible net assets is $344,810, which leaves an aggregate value of $14,803,954
to be assigned to the Intangible Assets. The estimated value of the $27,800,000 of Intangible Assets is allocated on a percentage
basis in the above table to equal $14,803,954.
None of FP’s
revenues and earnings are included in the Company’s consolidated income statements through the day of closing of November
5, 2020. The consolidated income statements for the nine- and three-month periods ended January 31, 2021, include $353,041 in
revenues from FP. If the entities had been combined for the two reporting periods, the supplemental pro forma revenues and earnings
are as follows:
Revenues
Earnings
Supplemental pro forma for 4/1/20 – 11/04/20
$ 2,866,063
$ 282,264
Supplemental pro forma for 4/1/19 – 11/04/19
$ 1,018,200
$ 680,212
Included in
the supplemental pro forma information above is revenue earned by the Company from Netcapital Systems LLC of $18,646 and $152,864
in the six-month periods ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Note 15
– Subsequent Events
The Company
issued 75,000 shares in February 2021 under a one-year consulting agreement.
In February
2021, the Company received an additional SBA loan of $1,885,800. The loan has an initial term of two years and an interest rate
of 1% per annum. Principal payments are delayed until the Company negotiates with the lender as to the amount of principal that
is subject to repayment. If repayment of the loan is required, payments begin after a six-month deferral period, in which interest
accrues, and payments are to be made in equal installments of approximately $106,125 over an 18-month period.
In March 2021,
the Company approved the issuance of approximately 398,000 shares of its common stock to pay the promissory notes and accrued
interest payable of $3,817,516 in conjunction with the acquisition of FP.
The Company
evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were available to be issued. There were no other material
subsequent events that required recognition or additional disclosure in these financial statements.

Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This quarterly
report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by the Company from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(collectively, the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon
beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by
Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only
predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,”
“estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative
of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking
statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties,
assumptions, and other factors. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions
prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
Although the
Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee
future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities
laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements
to actual results.
Our financial
statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments
and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments
and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented.
Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results.
In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s
judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative
would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements
and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
Overview
Netcapital
Inc. is a digital private markets ecosystem. We help private companies at all stages to build, grow, and fund their businesses
with a full range of services from strategic advice to raising capital.
We
specialize in Regulation Crowdfunding (“Reg CF”), under the provisions of Title III of the JOBS Act of 2012. We believe
that new capital raising techniques, such as Reg CF, democratize capital raising, similar to the way that social networks democratize
broadcast mechanisms that once belonged only to traditional media. Reg CF is one of three securities exemptions that enable
online capital formation. Reg D 506(c) allows an unlimited amount of money to be raised from accredited investors. Reg A+ enables
an issuer to raise up to $75 million online from anyone. Reg CF, the smallest of the crowdfunding exemptions, allows issuers to
raise up to $5 million from non-accredited investors every 12 months.
We
acquired Netcapital Funding Portal Inc (“FP”). Prior to March 15, 2021, the maximum dollar amount that an issuer could
raise on FP’s funding portal was $1,070,000. Three issuers that reached the maximum amount plan to return to the funding
portal to raise $5 million. If those three issuers are successful at raising $5 million, FP will earn a fee of 4.9% of the amount
raised. One of these issuers reached the prior maximum level of $1,070,000 in less than one day. We believe the increase of the
maximum offering limit to $5 million will be beneficial to many issuers and to our Company and will increase the potential revenues
of FP.

Results
of Operations
For the
Nine Months Ended January 31, 2021 Compared to the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2020
Our revenues
for the nine months ended January 31, 2021 increased by $2,177,683, or 137%, to $3,770,813 as compared to $1,593,130 reported
for the nine months ended January 31, 2020. The increase in revenues is attributable to an increase in consulting services,
and specifically to two customers that accounted for an aggregate of 55% of our revenues, or $2,060,486 in the nine months ended
January 31, 2021.
Costs of revenues
increased by $722,133 to $730,343 for the nine-months ended January 31, 2021 from $8,210 reported in the nine-months ended January
31, 2020. The increase is primarily attributable to our increased revenues and the change in our strategy of how we accelerate
the product development for the companies we invest in.
Stock-based
compensation expense increased by $153,660, or 66%, to $386,121 for the nine months ended January 31, 2021, as compared to $232,461
reported for the nine months ended January 31, 2020. The increase in expense is due to a higher price per share of our stock at
the time when stock grants were issued for stock-based compensation earned in fiscal 2021 as compared for fiscal 2020.
Consulting
expense decreased by $82,315, or 94%, to $5,085 for the nine months ended January 31, 2021, from $87,400 for the nine months ended
January 31, 2020. The decrease is attributed to our increase in wages during the nine-month period ended January 31, 2021.
General and
administrative expenses increased by $194,113, or 474%, to $235,054 for the nine months ended January 31, 2021, from $40,941 for
the nine months ended January 31, 2020. The increase is primarily attributed to increased levels of customer service and
sales activity.
Interest expense
increased by $39,387, or 275%, to $53,690 for the nine-month period ended January 31, 2021, as compared to $14,303 for the nine
months ended January 31, 2020. Our debt balances were higher at January 31, 2021 as compared to January 31, 2020 due to
two new loans totaling $2,385,800 in fiscal 2021. In addition, effective November 1, 2020, the annual interest rate on our $1,000,000
senior secured note increased from 1.25% to 8%.
For the
Three Months Ended January 31, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended January 31, 2020
Our revenues
for the three-months ended January 31, 2021 increased by $519,922, or 69%, to $1,277,327 as compared to $757,405 reported for
the three months ended January 31, 2020. The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to the inclusion of revenues
of $353,041 during the period ended January 31, 2021, from the funding portal subsidiary that we purchased in November 2020.
Costs of revenues
increased by $12,757 to $16,119 for the three-months ended January 31, 2021 from $3,362 reported in the three-months ended January
31, 2020. The increase is primarily attributable to our purchase of the funding portal.
Stock-based
compensation increased by $2,282, or 2%, to $126,212 for the three-months ended January 31, 2021 from $123,930 reported in the
three-months ended January 31, 2020. The increase in expense is primarily due to the higher price per share of our stock
at the time when stock grants were issued for stock-based compensation earned in fiscal 2021 as compared for fiscal 2020.
Consulting
expense decreased by $7,200, or 100%, to $0 for the three months ended January 31, 2021, from $7,200 for the three months ended
January 31, 2020. The decrease is attributed to our increase in wages during the three-month period ended January 31, 2021.
General and
administrative expenses increased by $151,896, or 1,983%, to $159,554 for the three-months ended January 31, 2021 from $7,658
reported in the three-months ended January 31, 2020. The increase is primarily attributable to increased levels of customer
service and sales activity and the acquisition of a wholly owned subsidiary, FP.
19
Interest expense
increased by $25,437, or 542%, to $30,126 for the three-month period ended January 31, 2021, as compared to $4,689 for the three
months ended January 31, 2020. Our debt balances were higher at January 31, 2021 as compared to January 31, 2020 due to
two new loans totaling $2,385,800 in fiscal 2021. In addition, effective November 1, 2020, the annual interest rate on our $1,000,000
senior secured note increased from 1.25% to 8%.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
On January
31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $286,461 and negative working capital of $5,785,323 as compared to cash and cash
equivalents of $11,206 and negative working capital of $1,057,581 on April 30, 2020.
Net cash used
in operating activities amounted to $2,475,484 in the nine-months ended January 31, 2021 as compared to net cash used in operating
activities of $10,880 in the nine months ended January 31, 2020. The principal source of cash from operating activities in the
nine-months ended January 31, 2021 was net income of $103,535 plus stock-based compensation expense of $386,121. These sources
were offset by non-cash revenue from the receipt of equity of $2,319,532 and changes in non-cash working capital balances of $716,896.
The principal source of cash from operating activities in the nine-months ended January 31, 2020 was net income of $1,162,100
and stock-based compensation of $232,461, but these sources were offset by an increase in non-cash revenue from the receipt of
equity of $1,410,796.
Cash provided
by investing activities totaled $364,939 in the nine months ended January 31, 2021, from the purchase of our funding portal business.
There was no investing activity in the nine months ended January 31, 2020.
For the nine
months ended January 31, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $2,385,800, which consisted of two loans
from the U.S. Small Business Administration. For the nine months ended January 31, 2020, net cash used in financing activities
amounted to $4,300, which consisted of principal payments of outstanding related-party debt.
In the nine-months
ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no expenditures for capital assets. We do not anticipate any capital expenditures
in fiscal 2021.
The accompanying
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation
of our company as a going concern. However, management anticipates that we will be dependent, for the near future, on additional
capital to fund our operating expenses and anticipated growth, which we intend to achieve through consulting services and the
further development of our private equity platform for raising capital. In the quarter ended July 31, 2020, we borrowed $2,385,800
to accelerate our growth and the growth of early-stage companies that we invested in. In February 2021 we borrowed again from
the USSBA approximately $1.8 million.
We owe $1,000,000
under a secured term loan that matures on April 30, 2021. We believe we can renegotiate the payment terms of the loan. Any demand
for payment from the lender will have an adverse impact on our ability to achieve our longer-term business objectives and will
adversely affect our ability to continue operating as a going concern.
While we continually
look for other financing sources, in the current economic environment, the procurement of outside funding is extremely difficult
and there can be no assurance that such financing will be available, or, if available, that such financing will be at a price
that will be acceptable to us. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional capital will have an adverse impact
on our ability to achieve our longer-term business objectives and will adversely affect our ability to continue operating as a
going concern.
We have no off-balance sheet
arrangements.

Item
4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Disclosure
Controls and Procedures.
The Company’s
management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer (“PEO”) and principal financial
officer (“PFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”))
as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the PEO and PFO concluded that, as of the end of
such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information that is required
to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits 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 the
Company’s management, including the PEO and PFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures consisted of:
●
There are insufficient written policies and
procedures to insure the correct application of accounting and financial reporting with respect to the current requirements
of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
(b) Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have
not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
