[{"type":"text","content":"Management to Host Earnings Call on September 17, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. ET BOSTON, MA, Sept. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Netcapital Inc. (Nasdaq: NCPL, NCPLW) (the “Company”), a digital private capital markets ecosystem, today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 ended July 31, 2024. “This was a challenging quarter for us, driven primarily by a decrease in revenues for services that we provide in exchange for equity securities,” said Martin Kay, CEO of Netcapital Inc. “However, we have taken what we believe are important steps to lay the groundwork for future opportunities. In May 2024, for example, we announced that our wholly-owned subsidiary, Netcapital Securities Inc. applied for broker-dealer registration with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). We believe that by having a registered broker-dealer, it could create opportunities to expand our revenue base by hosting and generating additional fees from Reg A+ and Reg D offerings on the Netcapital platform. In addition, in July 2024, we announced the launch of our beta version of a secondary trading platform through the Templum ATS to a closed group of users. This secondary trading platform has been designed to provide investors who purchase stock through the Netcapital funding portal with the potential for secondary trading through access to the Templum ATS.” The operation of the Templum ATS remains subject to extensive regulation and oversight. Any regulatory delays or objections will result in delays in our ability to launch the proposed secondary trading platform, if at all. Netcapital Securities Inc.’s application to become a registered broker-dealer remains subject to regulatory approval and/or licensing from the Financial Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). No assurance can be given as to when or if such approvals may be granted or when, if at all, Netcapital will be able to expand the services it offers.
