+Added: As of September 30, 2025, we beneficially owned approximately 303.1 bitcoin.
+Added: This equates to 1.7974 bitcoin per million shares of our Common Stock.
+Added: We plan to hold bitcoin as a strategic treasury asset as an adjunct to our core film and TV distribution business.
+Added: We do not have policies governing the amount of bitcoin we intend to hold now or in the future and the overall amount of bitcoin we intend to hold is uncertain.
+Added: Additionally, we have not currently set any official policies governing how or when we will exchange cash for bitcoin, or sell bitcoin for cash, with the exception that bitcoin may be sold, if necessary, to meet the day-to-day financial obligations of the Company.
+Added: The continued implementation of our bitcoin treasury strategy aims to support its mission-driven approach of funding the world’s best filmmakers in producing stories that amplify light for generations to come.
+Added: The overall strategy contemplates that we may (i) enter into capital raising transactions that are collateralized by its bitcoin holdings, (ii) consider pursuing strategies to create income streams or otherwise generate funds using its bitcoin holdings and (iii) periodically sell bitcoin for general corporate purposes, including to generate cash to meet its operating requirements.
+Added: Regulation A Offerings

+Added: Our Chief Executive Officer, Neal Harmon, purchased 42 shares of Class A Common Stock, our President, Jordan Harmon, purchased 3,536 shares of Class A Common Stock, our Chief Content Officer, Jeffrey Harmon purchased 42 shares of Class A Common Stock and one of our directors, Paul Ahlstrom, purchased 85 shares of Class A Common Stock, in each case as part of the Reg A Offering.

+Added: The proceeds may also be used to pay expenses relating to salaries and other compensation to our officers and employees.
+Added: In September 2025, we sold an aggregate of 6,688,077 shares of our Class A Common Stock, pursuant to an offering under Regulation A.
+Added: The price of the Class A Common Stock was $8.23 per share, and the Regulation A Offering generated gross proceeds of approximately $55.0 million.

+Added: The proceeds may also be used to pay expenses relating to salaries and other compensation to our officers and employees.
+Added: P&A Subsidiaries
+Added: Over the past year, we have formed several subsidiaries (each, a “P&A Subsidiary”) to exploit the commercial potential of specific films.
+Added: Generally, a P&A Subsidiary enters into a distribution agreement with a filmmaker/production company to license the rights to market and distribute a film.
+Added: The P&A Subsidiary then executes a services agreement with us to market the film’s theatrical release.
+Added: The P&A Subsidiary also sublicenses the film to us for distribution via the Angel App and our website, as well as to other distribution networks.
+Added: In exchange for our right to distribute the film, we retain a share of revenue generated by our distribution of the film to the Guild.
+Added: P&A Subsidiaries have dual class voting structures:
+Added: preferred shares, which are offered to investors under Regulation A;
+Added: and common shares, which we purchase at formation and which are the sole voting shares of a P&A Subsidiary.
+Added: Typically, the preferred shares have a ‘Stated Value’ of 115-120% of the price at which the shares are sold.
+Added: A P&A Subsidiary’s board of directors may, upon determining that the company has sufficient available funds, pay the Stated Value to preferred shareholders.
+Added: Payments are made from receipts generated by the film’s theatrical release, after movie theaters have taken their negotiated share.
+Added: If revenue generated from a film’s theatrical release is insufficient to pay the Stated Value, P&A Subsidiaries may pay the Stated Value from revenue generated by the film’s distribution, merchandizing sales, and other commercial exploitation.
+Added: Upon full payment of the Stated Value, a P&A Subsidiary’s preferred shares are automatically redeemed, and we become the entity’s sole owner.
+Added: After a P&A Subsidiary has redeemed its preferred shares, the subsidiary splits remaining revenue with the filmmaker according to the terms of the Distribution Agreement.
+Added: We are legally distinct from the P&A Subsidiaries, and investments in them are distinct from an investment in us.
+Added: A P&A Subsidiary is formed solely to exploit the commercial potential of a single film, and proceeds generated from a subsidiary’s offering of preferred shares are used to market and distribute that one film.
+Added: A P&A Subsidiary has no other business or assets other than its exploitation of the rights to the film.
+Added: The subsidiary’s shareholders do not have any rights to our assets or securities if a film does not perform well financially.
+Added: Investors in our common stock are investing in us and our business, which is broader than the marketing of a single film.
+Added: Investors in our Common Stock do not have any right to payment of any amounts from the receipts of a film’s theatrical release prior to dividend payments made to the shareholders of the P&A Subsidiaries.
+Added: P&A Subsidiaries are required to file current and periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to Rule 257(b) of Regulation A.
+Added: Unlike us, P&A Subsidiaries do not have reporting obligations under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.
+Added: Off the Chain

+Added: Accrued settlement costs
+Added: Loan guarantee payable
+Added: Notes payable
+Added: Cash and cash equivalents increased by $56.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to cash used in operating activities of $58.7 million and cash used in investing activities of $15.6 million, offset by cash provided by financing activities of $130.4 million.

+Added: As we continue to grow, we expect to raise additional funds to cover any shortfall in operating needs.
+Added: We project that our existing capital resources, including cash, accounts receivables, licensing receivables, recurring revenues from our membership base, and the ability to sell our digital assets if necessary, will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements for at least the next twelve months.
+Added: Evaluation of Going Concern
+Added: The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue to operate as a going concern within one year from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
+Added: For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred a net loss of approximately $91.9 million and used cash in operating activities of approximately $58.7 million.
+Added: We have an accumulated deficit of approximately $175.8 million as of September 30, 2025.
+Added: A significant portion of the net loss for the period ended September 30, 2025 was due to the continued marketing expenses to increase Angel Guild memberships and support our theatrical releases.
+Added: We anticipate that as we continue to grow the business, we will incur operating losses and use cash in operating activities during 2025 and into 2026.
+Added: We are working to increase revenues through the growth of Angel Guild memberships, our pipeline of theatrical releases through 2026 and additional streaming agreements.
+Added: We finance marketing activities for theatrical releases through two primary methods:
+Added: 1) Regulation A offerings that are tailored to raise money for the print and advertising costs (“P&A”) for specific theatrical releases and 2) P&A loan agreements with individual and institutional investors.
+Added: During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we raised $13.2 million from Regulation A offerings and received $32.0 million from P&A loans, both of which were used for P&A in various theatrical releases
+Added: during the year.
+Added: During the year ended 2024, we raised $0.0 million from Regulation A offerings and received $23.3 million from P&A loans.
+Added: During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we paid $36.5 million for the repayments of P&A loans, including interest and paid $15.8 million as a redemption of shares for Regulation A investors, from the proceeds collected from the theatrical releases and other revenues earned.
+Added: During the year ended 2024, we paid $17.9 million for the repayments of P&A loans, including interest and paid $0.0 million as a redemption of shares for Regulation A investors, from the proceeds collected from the theatrical releases and other revenues earned.
+Added: Additionally, we have raised capital through the sale of our common stock, generating approximately $102.8 million of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and we have grown from 0.6 million Angel Guild members, as of December 31, 2024, to 1.6 million Angel Guild members, as of September 30, 2025, generating approximately $170.6 million in cash from Angel Guild paid memberships during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
+Added: Management believes it will be able to continue to fund operating capital shortfalls for the next year through the issuance of debt and our common stock.
+Added: While there is no assurance of success, management remains committed to its plans to grow revenues and manage expenses.
+Added: If these efforts are not successful, or if securing debt and selling our common stock on acceptable terms proves challenging, we can reduce our spend on marketing of the Angel Guild, which could materially affect our growth, our financial condition and/or our ability to continue as a going concern.
+Added: Discussion of Operating, Investing, Financing Cash Flows
+Added: Operating Activities.
+Added: Cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were as follows:

+Added: The difference of $19.1 million is largely due to the increase in net loss for the period of $40.6 million, an increase in accounts receivable resulting in less proceeds received, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities resulting in greater distributions, partially offset by increases in deferred revenue and accrued licensing royalties.
+Added: Investing Activities.

+Added: Both periods saw moderate activity in issuing and collecting repayments on notes receivable, with more collections during 2024 being the result of several of our filmmakers paying us back these notes receivables during this period (see “ Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Notes Receivable ).

Critical Accounting Estimates
−Removed: The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported.
−Removed: Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
−Removed: We have not identified any critical accounting estimates as of June 30, 2025.
−Removed: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
−Removed: Refer to Note 2.
−Removed: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Financial Statements.
+Added: The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods.
+Added: The SEC has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require a company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments.
+Added: Based on this definition, we have identified the critical accounting policies and judgments addressed below.
+Added: Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
+Added: basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
+Added: Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
+Added: Long-lived Assets
+Added: Intangible assets with finite lives and property, plant and equipment are amortized or depreciated over their estimated useful life on a straight-line basis.
+Added: We monitor conditions related to these assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization or depreciation period.
+Added: We test these assets for potential impairment whenever our management concludes events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
+Added: The original estimate of an asset’s useful life and the impact of an event or circumstance on either an asset’s useful life or carrying value involve significant judgment regarding estimates of the future cash flows associated with each asset.
+Added: We account for income taxes under the liability method, whereby deferred tax asset or liability account balances are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using current tax laws and rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
+Added: Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets when we expect the amount of tax benefit to be realized is less than the carrying value of the deferred tax asset.
+Added: Accounting for income taxes involves uncertainty and judgment on how to interpret and apply tax laws and regulations within our annual tax filings.
+Added: Such uncertainties from time to time may result in a tax position that may be challenged and overturned by a tax authority in the future which could result in additional tax liability, interest charges and possibly penalties.
+Added: Stock-Based Compensation
+Added: We account for stock-based compensation by measuring and recognizing as compensation expense the fair value of all share-based payment awards made to employees based on estimated grant date fair values.
+Added: The determination of fair value involves a number of significant estimates.
+Added: We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model or the Monte Carlo pricing model to estimate the value of employee stock options which require a number of assumptions to determine the model inputs.
+Added: These include the expected volatility of our stock and employee exercise behavior, which are based on historical data as well as expectations of future developments over the term of the option.
+Added: As stock-based compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures.
+Added: Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
+Added: Management’s estimate of forfeitures is based on historical experience but actual forfeitures could differ materially as a result of voluntary employee actions and involuntary actions which would result in significant change in our stock-based compensation expense amounts in the future.
+Added: The fair value of the Common Stock underlying the employee stock options is estimated using third party valuations, including market, income, and cost valuation approaches.
+Added: Other Estimates
+Added: See “Note 1” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for further discussion.
+Added: Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
+Added: As of September 30, 2025, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
