2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The
following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our condensed
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking
statements for a variety of reasons, including those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other filings with the SEC.
Overview
American
Picture House Corporation is an entertainment company focused on the development, packaging, financing and production of feature films
and limited series. During 2025, we pivoted away from third-party consulting to concentrate on internally developed projects and selective
strategic partnerships. We generally pursue two complementary approaches to participating in projects: (i) structured film finance and
senior or priority recoupment positions, including senior secured production lending and first-priority receipt structures designed to
prioritize return of capital; and (ii) building an owned or controlled content library over time by acquiring or optioning intellectual
properties and, where appropriate, obtaining negative ownership or other control rights in projects.

of certain BARRON’S COVE collateral recovery rights, first look rights on future projects of the producer’s production
company, and customary company and individual screen credits. As consideration, we agreed to issue 250,000 shares of common stock and

our Board of Directors and other conditions precedent, which were satisfied subsequent to quarter end. See Note 5, Note 7 and Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenues.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, revenues were $1,220, compared with $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The change
was primarily attributable to income from the BUFFALOED CAMA.
General
and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $169,137, compared with
$1,225,863 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The 2025 period included $110,000 of stock-based compensation expense to a consultant,
the write-off of $196,200 of loans receivable that management determined were uncollectible, and the expiration of rights to a screenplay
carried on the books at $150,834. The 2025 period also included $306,030 of stock option expense compared to $0 in the 2026 period. These
one-time expenses were offset by lower operational expenses including a $159,000 reduction in legal and professional fees and a $190,470
reduction in consulting fees.
Sales
and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $3,786, compared with $1,830 for the
six months ended June 30, 2025.
Interest
Expense. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $70,994, compared with $21,816 for the prior-year period, with the
change primarily attributable to credit card debt and the Labrys financings.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of June 30, 2026, we had no cash and cash equivalents, a book overdraft of $767 included in accounts payable and accrued expenses, a
working capital deficit of $1,517,590, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $8.1 million. These conditions raise substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Operating
Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was $51,190, compared with net cash
used in operating activities of $244,772 for the same 2025 period. The 2026 period reflects $1,029,404 of collections on amounts due under the Company’s BARRON’S COVE revenue
collection rights and $875,000 applied toward funding obligations under the Multi-Film Investment and Compensation Agreement.
Investing
Activities. The Company had no investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Produced and Licensed Content Costs. During
the six months ended June 30, 2026, produced and licensed content costs increased from $300,000 to $1,175,000, and accounts receivable
decreased from $1,150,000 to $121,816. The decrease in accounts receivable reflects $1,029,404 of collections on amounts due to the Company
under its BARRON’S COVE revenue collection rights, offset by $1,220 of receivables arising during the period. The Company applied
$875,000 toward its funding obligations to SSS Entertainment, LLC under the Multi-Film Investment and Compensation Agreement, in exchange
for assigned economic interests in the related pictures, which amount is included in produced and licensed content costs. The Company
assesses unamortized content costs for impairment in accordance with ASC 926-20 when events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the fair value of the content may be less than its unamortized cost.
3
Financing
Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, net cash provided by financing activities was $51,066. The 2026 period reflects
net proceeds and repayments from promissory notes of $203,750 and $25,000, respectively. Additionally, during the first six months of
2026, the Company borrowed and repaid $2,626 and $130,310 under related party notes payable. During the six months ended June 30, 2025,
net cash provided by financing activities was $245,876. The 2025 period reflects $259,906 of borrowings and $15,080 of repayments under
notes payable to related parties.
Funding
Requirements. We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing film development and production activities and our
public-company reporting obligations. We expect to finance operations and investments through a combination of project receipts, debt
financings, equity issuances, and strategic transactions, although there can be no assurance that sufficient capital will be available
on acceptable terms, or at all.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. We believe our critical accounting policies and estimates include those related to revenue recognition,
collectability of receivables, impairment of produced and licensed content costs and intangible assets, stock-based compensation, accounting
for debt and equity-linked instruments, and contingencies.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
None,
except as may be described in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
