Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024. 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, 2023.
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, 2023.
The Company accounts for allowance for credit losses under the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model for its financial assets, including accounts receivable, and presents the net amount of the financial instrument expected to be collected. The CECL impairment model requires an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of an instrument, which considers forecasts of future economic conditions in addition to information about past events and current conditions. Based on this model, the Company estimates the amount of uncollectible accounts receivable at the end of each reporting period based on the aging of the receivable balance, current and historical customer trends, communications with its customers, and macro-economic conditions. Amounts are written off after considerable collection efforts have been made and the amounts are determined to be uncollectible.
Management does not believe that any 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.
