Note 1– Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Netcapital Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026. For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2025.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On July 29, 2024, following shareholder approval we filed articles of amendment (the “Articles of Amendment”) to our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Corporations and Commercial Code to effectuate a 1-for-70 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, which Articles of Amendment became effective on August 1, 2024. The Reverse Stock Split became effective at 4:01 pm Eastern Time on August 1, 2024, and our common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis at the open of trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on August 2, 2024. Upon effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, every seventy (70) shares of our common stock issued and outstanding were automatically reclassified and combined into one share of our common stock, without any change in the par value per share. Additionally, equitable adjustments corresponding to the Reverse Stock Split ratio were made to (i) the exercise prices of and number of shares of common stock underlying the Company’s public and private warrants in accordance with their terms, (ii) the number of shares of common stock underlying the Company’s outstanding equity awards in accordance with their terms, and (iii) the number of shares of common stock issuable under the Company’s equity incentive plan. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Any stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share instead became entitled to receive one whole share of Common Stock in lieu of such fractional share. Following the Reverse Stock Split, we had 718,934 shares of our common stock outstanding, which includes 139,781 shares of our common stock that were issued for rounding up fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split. All share and per share data in the accompanying financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries after the elimination of significant intercompany balances and transactions. The wholly owned subsidiaries are Netcapital Funding Portal Inc., an equity-based funding portal registered with the SEC, Netcapital Advisors Inc., which provides marketing and strategic advice to select companies, MSG Development Corp, a business valuation company, which was acquired in November 2021, and Netcapital Securities Inc., which was organized in 2024 and was approved by FINRA to operate as a broker dealer.

 

 

Business segments

 

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.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments in several areas, including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable, valuation of equity securities, income taxes, and valuation of long-lived assets including intellectual property and purchased technology. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events, interpretation of regulations, and expectations about actions we may undertake in the future. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-01, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. The amendments clarify the scope of ASC 718 by providing additional illustrative guidance to help entities determine whether profits interest awards or similar arrangements should be accounted for under Topic 718 or other applicable guidance. The Company adopted this guidance on May 1, 2025. Adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. The standard requires public business entities to provide additional disclosures in the notes to the financial statements that disaggregate certain income statement expense captions into specified natural expense categories, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization. The amendments are intended to improve transparency regarding the nature of expenses included in commonly presented income statement captions. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statement disclosures.

 

In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures—Clarifying the Effective Date. This update clarifies the effective date guidance in ASU 2024-03 to ensure that entities with non-calendar fiscal year ends are not required to initially adopt the disclosure requirements in an interim reporting period. The amendments do not change the underlying disclosure requirements of ASU 2024-03. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statement disclosures.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
