Netcapital Inc.

Exhibit A
To
Form 12b-25
Part IV, Item (3)
Based on information that is available at this time, the Company's total revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2026, are expected to decrease by $58,335, or approximately 38%, to $94,347, as compared to $152,682 during the three months ended January 31, 2025. The decrease in revenue was attributed to the lack of new issuers signing up for funding portal services. Only eight new issuers launched a crowdfunding campaign in the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to 28 offerings launched in the three months ended January 31, 2026.
Payroll and payroll related expenses are expected to increase by $282,974, or approximately 35%, to $1,097,998 for the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to $815,024 during the three months ended January 31, 2025. The increase was attributed to the hiring of an AI specialist and a general counsel, in addition to salary increases for certain key positions, to assist with employee retention.
Consulting expenses are expected to increase by $204,477, or approximately 322%, to $268,032 for the three months ended January 31, 2026, from $63,555 during the three months ended January 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributed to a new consultant hired for the tokenization of real world assets, and payments to our former CEO, who is consulting for us over a one-year period.
Interest expense is expected to increase by approximately $13,700 to $24,076, or approximately 132%, for the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to $10,376 during the three months ended January 31, 2025, due to default interest on retired notes.
During the three months ended January 31, 2026, the Company recognized $500,000 of insurance recovery proceeds, compared to none in the three months ended January 31, 2025. The proceeds relate to the partial resolution of an insurance claim.
In the nine months ended January 31, 2026, we expect to record $335,481 in funding portal revenue, consisting of portal fees of $171,771, listing fees of $95,809, and equity fees of $67,451, as compared to funding portal revenue of $465,437 in the nine months ended January 31, 2025, a decrease of approximately 39%, consisting of portal fees of $297,627, listing fees of $127,500 and equity fees of $39,694. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributed to a decrease in the number of issuers raising capital on the funding portal's platform. New offerings launched amounted to 18 issuers in the nine months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to 64 issuers in the nine months ended January 31, 2025. 10 issuers successfully closed offerings in the nine months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to 25 issuers in the nine months ended January 31, 2025
Payroll and payroll related expenses are expected to increase by $1,046,563, or approximately 35%, to $3,747,881 for the nine months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to $2,701,318 during the nine months ended January 31, 2025. The increase was attributed to the hiring of an AI specialist and a general counsel, in addition to salary increases for certain key positions, to assist with employee retention.
Rent expense is expected to increase by $6,716, or approximately 11%, to $65,452 for the nine months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to $58,736 during the nine months ended January 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributed to a new office-space agreement.
Consulting expenses are expected to increase by $188,137, or approximately 78%, to $428,718 for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 from $240,581 during the nine months ended January 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributed to a new consultant hired for the tokenization of real world assets, and payments to our former CEO, who is consulting for us over a one-year period.
Interest expense is expected to increase by $41,906 to $72,347, or approximately 138%, for the nine months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to $30,441 during the nine months ended January 31, 2025. The increase resulted from short-term borrowings in April and May 2025 that were paid off in September 2025.
During the nine months ended January 31, 2026, the Company recognized $500,000 of insurance recovery proceeds, compared to none in the nine months ended January 31, 2025. The proceeds relate to the partial resolution of an insurance claim, and the Company expects to recognize additional proceeds in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 as the claim continues to be resolved.
