 NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1– Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Netcapital Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six- and three-month periods ended October 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023. For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and footnotes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2022.

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

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

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

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 – Concentrations

For the three and six months ended October 31, 2022, the Company had one customer that constituted 79% and 67% of revenues, and a second customer that constituted 0% and 10% of revenues, respectively. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2021, the Company had one customer that constituted 42% and 28% of revenues, and a second customer that constituted 33% and 22% of revenues, respectively.

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:

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.

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 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 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.

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 and six months ended October 31, 2022, which amounted to $1,778,973 and $3,119,546, respectively, are considered contract revenues. Contract revenue as of October 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022, which has not yet been recognized, amounted to $660 and $2,532, respectively, and is recorded on the balance sheet as deferred revenue. The Company expects to recognize revenue on all of its remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months.

Disaggregation of Revenue

Revenue is from U.S.-based companies with no notable geographical concentrations in any area. A distinction exists in revenue source; revenues are either generated online or from consulting services.

Revenues disaggregated by revenue source consist of the following:

250 shares of common stock that are issuable pursuant to stock subscription agreements are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended October 31, 2022. Outstanding warrants to purchase 1,409,732 shares of common stock are not included in the calculation of earnings per share for the three and six months ended October 31, 2022 because their effect is anti-dilutive. Outstanding options to purchase 262,000 shares of common stock are not included in the calculation of earnings per share for the three and six months ended October 31, 2022 because their effect is anti-dilutive. 35,557 shares that are issuable to satisfy a supplemental consideration liability were excluded for the calculation of loss per share for the three months ended October 31, 2021 because their effect is antidilutive.

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

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

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

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

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

On May 6, 2020, the Company borrowed $1,885,800 (the “May Loan”), on June 17, 2020 the Company borrowed $500,000 (the “June Loan”), and on February 2, 2021, the Company borrowed $1,885,800 (the “February Loan”) from a U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan program.

The May loan bore interest at a rate of 1% per annum and was forgiven in its entirety, including accrued interest of $18,502. As a result, the Company recognized debt forgiveness of $1,904,296 in the year ended April 30, 2022.

The June Loan required installment payments of $2,594 monthly, beginning on June 17, 2021, over a term of thirty years. However, the SBA postponed the first installment payment for 18 months, and the first payment is now due on December 17, 2022. Interest accrues at a rate of 3.75% per annum. The Company agreed to grant a continuing security interest in its assets to secure payment and performance of all debts, liabilities, and obligations to the SBA. The June Loan was personally guaranteed by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

The February loan bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum and the due date of the first payment has been postponed by the SBA because the Company has applied for forgiveness of the February Loan.

Note 6 – Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of October 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022 were as follows:

The gross proceeds from the offering were $5,000,750 prior to deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses, which resulted in net proceeds of $3,949,117. The warrants have a per share exercise price of $5.19, are exercisable immediately, and expire five years from the date of issuance.

The following tables summarize information about warrants outstanding as of October 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022:

In addition, the Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 180,750 shares of common stock and/or up to 180,750 additional warrants to cover over-allotments, if any.

The value of the 60,250 representatives’ warrants amounted to $26,510 and the value of the 111,300 underwriter’s warrants amounted to $48,972. The trading price of a warrant with an identical term and exercise price, under the trading symbol of NCPLW, had a closing price of $0.44 on the day the representatives’ warrants and the underwriter’s warrants were issued. The value of the warrants is not an addition to capital in excess of par value because the value of the warrants is also an offsetting offering cost.

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:

Under the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, we base fair value on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It is our policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. Fair value measurements for assets and liabilities where there exists limited or no observable market data and, therefore, are based primarily upon management’s own estimates, are often calculated based on current pricing policy, the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the asset or liability and other such factors. Therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used.

 Note 10 – Stock-Based Compensation Plans

In addition to cash payments, the Company enters agreements to issue common stock and records the applicable non-cash expense in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

For the three and six months ended October 31, 2022, stock-based compensation expense amounted to $32,953 and $65,906, respectively. This expense is the estimated value of the vesting of 262,000 stock options that are outstanding as of October 31, 2022, and vest on a monthly basis over a 48-month period.

For the three and six months ended October 31, 2021, stock-based compensation expense amounted to $186,087 and 483,067, respectively.

The table below presents the components of compensation expense for the issuance of shares of common stock and stock options to employees and consultants for the three- and six-month periods ended October 31, 2022 and 2021.

The following tables summarize information about stock options outstanding as of October 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022:

Note 11 – Deposits and Commitments

We utilize an office at 1 Lincoln Street in Boston, Massachusetts. We currently pay a membership fee of approximately $5,700 a month, under a virtual office agreement that expires in September 2023 and includes a deposit of $6,300.

Note 12 – Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with defined useful lives are generally measured at cost less straight-line amortization. The useful life is determined using the period of the underlying contract or the period of time over which the intangible asset can be expected to be used. Impairments are recognized if the recoverable amount of the asset is lower than the carrying amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of either the fair value less costs to sell or the value in use. The value in use is determined on the basis of future cash inflows and outflows, and the weighted average cost of capital. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, such as trade names and trademarks, that have been acquired as part of acquisitions are measured at cost and tested for impairment annually, or if there is an indication that their value has declined.

The following table sets forth the major categories of the intangible assts as of October 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022

As of October 31, 2022, the weighted average remaining useful life for technology, trade names, professional practice, literary works and domains is 14.5 years. Accumulated amortization amounted to $42,162 as of October 31, 2022, resulting in net intangible assets of $15,494,542.
