Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Netcapital fiscal 2023 second quarter earnings conference call. At this time, all participants have been placed on a listen-only mode, and the floor will be open for questions and comments after the presentation. It is now my pleasure to turn the floor over to your host, Coreen Kraysler, CFO of Netcapital. Coreen, the floor is yours. Thank you, Jenny. Good morning, everybody, and thank you for joining Netcapital Financial Results conference call for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 ended October 31, 2022. This is Coreen Kraysler, CFO of Netcapital Inc. I will begin with a review of our financial results. Jason Frishman, CEO of Netcapital Funding Portal, will follow with an update on our platform, and Cecilia Lenk, CEO of Netcapital Inc., will discuss the recent addition to our board of directors. Before we begin, I'd like to call your attention to the customary safe harbor disclosure regarding forward-looking information. Management's discussion may include forward-looking statements.

I'll begin now with a review of our financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. We had a particularly strong quarter for our consulting services for equity securities. Led by this revenue expansion, total revenues increased 48% year-over-year to 1.8 million, compared to 1.2 million in the year ago quarter. We generated positive operating income for the second quarter, compared to an operating loss of 325,000 in the year ago quarter. Net income for the second quarter was 183,000 compared to a net loss of 274,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter were 0.04 per share compared to a loss per share of 0.10 in the year ago quarter. For the six months of fiscal year 2023, revenue increased 71% year-over-year to $3.1 million. Netcapital generated positive operating income compared to an operating loss of 1.4 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2022. Diluted earnings per share of 0.07 compares to a loss per share of 0.47 in the first six months of fiscal year 2022. At October 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of 1.6 million. Let's compare to 474,000 at April 30, 2022. As of October 31, 2022, equity securities at fair value totaled 15.1 million compared- 12.9 million at April 30, 2022. I'll now turn the call over to Jason Frishman, CEO of the Netcapital Funding Portal. Jason. Thank you, Coreen. We have hosted many exciting offerings this year, and we featured a number of them in press releases over the past six months. Some examples include Lithium startup EnergyX, which completed two rounds of financing with us and recently received a $450 million investment commitment from private equity firm Global Emerging Markets Group, or GEM. Vantem Global, a startup that was among the first clients of Netcapital Advisors, completed a round of financing through Netcapital Funding Portal. Vantem Global is now backed by Bill Gates' energy fund, Breakthrough Energy Ventures. Multiple offerings raised more than $1 million in the past six months, including KMX Technologies and Avadain. We've previously discussed MAGFAST, a developer of premium wireless magnetic chargers. MAGFAST has previously sold out two offerings on the Netcapital platform and have relaunched a new offering in the last few months. These are some of the success stories we are privileged to support through our digital private markets ecosystem. One of our missions as a business is to mentor and support entrepreneurs in their journeys, and it's truly rewarding to see the startups on our platform that succeed in attracting subsequent funding as they build, expand, and prosper. We continue to see our business grow stronger during even tough economic climates. I will now turn the call over to Dr. Cecilia Lenk, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Netcapital Inc. Thank you, Coreen and Jason. It is with great pleasure that we recently welcomed Arnie Scott to our board of directors.

He is an accomplished business leader and corporate governance expert with 15 years of experience as a director and chair on various corporate and advisory boards.

We are very pleased with our company's performance to date and strong first half of fiscal year 2023. We thank you for your interest and investment in Netcapital and look forward to delivering continuing growth in the future. Operator, we are now ready to take questions. Thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen, the floor is now open for questions. If you have any questions or comments, please press star one on your phone at this time. We ask that while posing your question, you please pick up your handset if listening on a speaker phone to provide optimum sound quality. Please hold while we poll for questions. Thank you. Your first question is coming from Mark Nelson of H.C. Wainwright. Mark, your line is live. Hello, how are you doing today? Thank you for taking the time. I have two questions today. What are some of the primary factors that have led to your ability to become profitable so far in this quarter? Do you wanna ask your second question as well? Sure. The second question will be, can you provide a progress update on providing secondary markets for the securities that you've already raised on the platform? Sure. I will take the first question. I will let Jason take the second question. We had a good quarter in the consulting business, and we had a large contract with an equity portfolio company that led to the profitability in the quarter. Jason, do you wanna take the second question? Yeah, I'm happy to. Hi, Mark. Thanks for the questions. I can't provide a specific comment at this time, but I can tell you that it is very important to us to solve for the problem with respect to providing liquidity through an ATS, an alternative trading system. That is something that is important to us and something that we view as important on our path to growth, but I can't provide a specific comment at this time. I will just follow up with that by saying that, it's very high up on our radar screen. Great. Thank you very much. Thank you. Next question, operator. Your next question is coming from Frank T. D'Apuzzo, who's a private investor. Frank, your line is live. Oh, thank you so much. I think Mark kind of asked the other question I had. I guess the only other question I have is the equity that you guys hold. Do you have a facility to turn that into cash if you needed to? I assume that you're talking about the investment portfolio that we hold, which are equity securities in private companies. Right. We do intend to monetize those over time, and there are several ways that we can do that. One is by selling specific portions, subset portions of those or total portions to other private investors, and we have had interest from time to time expressed in some of those companies that we own. Another path to monetization would be IPO-ing those companies, which is certainly also on our radar screen as well. Okay. Thank you so much. Yep. Thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen, just a reminder, if you do have any questions, please press star 1 on your phone. We don't appear to have any further questions. I will now hand back over to Coreen for any closing remarks. All right. Thank you very much. Thank you everyone so much for joining us today. We're very pleased with the results that we have demonstrated so far, and we appreciate your interest in Netcapital, and we wish you all a very happy and healthy holiday season. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much. This does conclude today's conference call. You may disconnect your phone lines at this time, and have a wonderful day. Thank you for your participation.
