Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
The scalability of our platform is a key driver of our business model, allowing us to grow revenues ahead of costs
Another bright point during Q3 was that we closed a $4 million public offering in December, which adds to our working capital and strengthens our balance sheet
We're pleased to see the continued growth in our funding portal revenues and believe it's a testament to the platform itself and the need for it
All companies need capital and Netcapital provides an easy-to-use, easy-to-access platform that connects high-quality investors with high-quality companies
We saw both overall revenue and funding portal revenue drop for the quarter but we remain steadfast that we are providing the best service for our clients and that our value proposition continues to resonate with private companies looking for capital and with investors looking for opportunities
The platform continues to grow with over 100,000 people using it and with over 50 companies currently raising capital
But we remain optimistic about our future prospects
And as always, we want to thank you for your interest and continued support of Netcapital
The increase in funding portal revenues during the time is primarily attributable to increased offering activity on the platform that generated increased investments by investors who purchased securities on the portal
Yes, very good question
While our overall revenue for the first 9 months of fiscal 2024 dipped by approximately 14% compared to the prior year period, funding portal revenues increased by more than 70%
And have a wonderful day
And we expect to be able to launch more broadly in the near future
We had an increase in portal fees of $375,683 or 152%, and an increase in listing fees of $48,040 or 14%
We're still growing, and that there's certainly room for multiple competitors
Martin Kay Thanks, everyone
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
This was a challenging quarter for many businesses trying to raise capital in the current market environment
We reported diluted earnings per share of a loss of $0.19 in the 3 months ended January 31, 2024, which was down compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.33 for the same period in the prior year
During the quarter, revenue decreased by approximately $1.2 million or 54%, to $1 million, as compared to $2.3 million during the 3 months ended January 31, 2023
The decrease in funding portal revenues for the third quarter is primarily attributable to fewer issuers listing to raise capital on the funding portal platform
Funding portal revenues decreased approximately 23% to $179,588, compared to $231,833 in the third quarter of fiscal 2023
A decrease of approximately $52,000 or 23% was also noted in funding portal revenues during the quarter when compared to the prior fiscal quarter
In the 3 months ended January 31, 2024, revenues from equity-based contracts decreased by $1.1 million or 56%, to $862,000, as compared to revenues of $1.9 million in the 3 months ended January 31, 2023
The decrease was primarily attributed to a decrease in revenue for consulting services that we provide in exchange for equity securities during the quarter
We had fewer issuers listing on our funding portal during the quarter than in the prior year period
