The Company subsequently changed its name to Shikisai International, Inc. in November 2005 and then to Life Design Station, Intl., Inc. in August 2007. The Company changed its state of domicile from Nevada to Wyoming on October 13, 2020. On December 4, 2020, the Company changed its name to American Picture House Corporation. The Board of Directors approved a 50:1 reverse stock split that became effective in the marketplace on October 11, 2021. Following the reverse stock split, on September 13, 2021, the Company also adopted an amendment, which was independent of the above-mentioned reverse stock split, to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to reduce the number of authorized shares from 4,700,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.0001 par value to 1,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.0001 par value. On October 16, 2024 the shareholders approved our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, which amends Article VI, paragraph A.

Led by astute financiers and supported by accomplished creatives, the Company is committed to delivering high-quality content with broad market appeal. Historically, APHP has offered strategic consulting services to clients within the entertainment sector, providing guidance in areas such as business planning, financial projections, and corporate marketing. While these engagements showcased the Company’s expertise in both entertainment and general business strategy, APHP has since pivoted away from providing independent consulting services. Moving forward, the Company will concentrate exclusively on internal content development and strategic partnerships. APHP is now focused on partnering with filmmakers, showrunners, content creators, and innovative technology partners to develop, package, finance, and produce compelling film and television projects. The Company’s leadership, Board of Directors, and advisory team bring decades of experience across key entertainment functions, including writing, producing, directing, casting, sales, and licensing, with long-standing relationships at major studios and production companies. Although these relationships have yet to translate into direct business for APHP, the Company anticipates leveraging these connections in its upcoming projects. Strategic Focus: Mid-Budget Productions APHP specializes in mid-budgeted productions where the majority, if not all, of the production budget can be secured against the project’s intellectual property (“IP”), projected and pre-sold licensing agreements, incentive programs, tax credits, and grants. The value of the IP, such as book rights, screenplays, or scripts, can be significantly enhanced by the attachment of award-winning talent, seasoned producers, and skilled directors, making it a critical asset for financial structuring. By assembling robust production packages that include proven creative elements and cost-efficient strategies, such as filming in incentive-friendly locations and building lean budgets, APHP can mitigate financial risk, reduce its equity exposure, and attract third-party investment. These efforts are designed to improve profitability and maximize investor confidence through the development of bankable content. APHP’s strategic approach emphasizes financial sophistication, creative excellence, and the use of forward-thinking technology. To date, APHP owns and has optioned several IPs with the goal of co-producing and co-financing both feature films and limited series. Understanding APHP’s Strategy Through the Filmmaking Lifecycle To better explain APHP’s business model, the filmmaking process can be broken down into five key stages, each with distinct responsibilities and goals: ● Development – Acquiring rights (e.g., books, plays), developing story ideas, and writing the screenplay. This stage includes securing financing. ● Pre-Production – Finalizing the script, hiring cast and crew, scouting and securing locations, and designing sets. ● Production – The actual filming process where raw footage is captured. ● Post-Production – Editing the footage, adding visual effects, sound design, and finalizing the film. ● Distribution – Marketing and distributing the finished project to theaters, streaming platforms, and other outlets. APHP’s strategy is to participate meaningfully at each of these stages, especially in development, financing, and packaging, to ensure that every project is positioned for both creative and commercial success. 3 Our Strategy to Build Value APHP’s business strategy centers on acquiring or optioning intellectual properties, such as book rights, screenplays, and scripts, that have already undergone a meaningful level of development investment. In many cases, these properties were advanced by their original creators or teams who, after making substantial financial or creative commitments, chose to pause or abandon further development due to budgetary or strategic reasons. By targeting projects at this stage, APHP aims to acquire valuable entertainment assets at a reduced upfront cost. In exchange, we may offer the original team a share in future revenues generated by the property. This approach enables us to: ● Minimize initial capital expenditures; ● Allocate more resources toward advancing the project through the filmmaking pipeline; ● Benefit from the insights, creative contributions, and goodwill of the original development team; and ● Significantly reduce financial and creative risk. Our strategy is predicated on our management team’s ability to identify projects with unrealized potential and execute on the next stages of development where previous efforts may have stalled. This includes leveraging our experience, industry relationships, and financial acumen to transform dormant or undervalued IP into market-ready content. Value Creation Initiatives Once acquired, we enhance the value of these properties through a multi-pronged strategy that includes: ● Engaging experienced Writers Guild of America (WGA) writers to further develop, polish, or rewrite the material; ● Attaching high-quality talent—such as reputable producers, directors, and actors; ● Assessing and securing international pre-sales and understanding global market value; ● Establishing relationships with key financial institutions and banking partners; ● Partnering with talent agencies and retaining top legal counsel; ● Identifying strategic filming locations that offer robust tax incentives, rebates, or grants; ● Creating comprehensive production budgets and tailored financing strategies; ● Securing completion bonds to mitigate production risk; and ● Developing professional production and marketing materials, such as look books, preliminary artwork, and scouting reports. This methodical, value-driven approach allows APHP to position each project for optimal creative execution, financial performance, and market success, ultimately maximizing returns for the Company and its partners. Organizational Structure At present, the Company has no employees. We do, however, utilize the services of consultants. The Company is managed by its officers. Bannor Michael MacGregor is the CEO, Jonathan Sanger is the President, Michael Blanchard is the Secretary, and Daniel Hirsch is the Treasurer, all report to a Board of Directors. At present, only Bannor Michael MacGregor is under a Consulting Agreement. 4 Our Offices The Company maintains three virtual offices in New York, NY, Raleigh, NC, and Los Angeles, CA. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP.” The preparation of these financial statements requires us 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 the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. In accordance with GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our significant accounting policies are fully described in Note 2 to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, and we believe those accounting policies are critical to the process of making significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements. Cybersecurity Update APHP’s risk management program remains unchanged; see “Item 8. Cybersecurity” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a full discussion of our risk management and governance framework. COVID-19 Update To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on the Company, particularly due to our current lack of operations. The pandemic may, however, have an impact on our ability to evaluate and acquire an operating entity through a reverse merger or otherwise. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements None. 5 Results of Operations Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31. 2025 The following table summarizes our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Change $ Revenues $ - $ 23,003 $ (23,003 ) Cost of revenues - - - - 23,003 (23,003 ) Operating Expenses: General and administrative 475,457 1,501,932 (1,026,475 ) Sales and marketing 461 13,975 (13,514 ) Total Operating Expenses 475,918 1,515,907 (1,039,989 ) Net operating income (loss) (475,918 ) (1,492,904 ) 1,016,986 Other Income (Expenses): Interest income - 102 (102 ) Interest expense (12,919 ) (3,185 ) (9,734 ) Net Other Income (Expenses) (12,919 ) (3,083 ) (9,836 ) Income (loss) before income taxes (488,837 ) (1,495,987 ) 1,007,150 Income taxes - - - Net income (loss) $ (488,837 ) $ (1,495,987 ) $ 1,007,150 Revenues and Cost of Revenues The Company had revenues totaling $0 and $23,003 during the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. All of the 2024 revenues were from the BUFFALOED CAMA General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were approximately $475,000 compared to approximately $1,502,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of approximately $1,026,000.

Other Income (Expense) Interest Income. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was minimal and consisted of interest earned on invested cash balances. Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $12,919 and $3,185, respectively, and was primarily related to our Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL ”), commercial line of credit and related party working capital loans. 6 Liquidity and Capital Resources We had an accumulated deficit of approximately $7.8 million, incurred a net loss of approximately $489,000, and had cash outflows from operations of approximately $155,000 as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Further, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our business plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our film development and production activities will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we develop and produce feature films. To date, we have funded our operations with proceeds from sales of Common Stock and borrowings from related parties under promissory notes. As of March 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents were negligible and we were not able to meet our current obligations as they became due and payable. Operating Activities During the three months ended March 31, 2025, operating activities consumed approximately $155,000 of cash. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by approximately $88,000 during the quarter due to a lack of liquidity to meet current obligations as they became due and payable. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, operating activities used approximately $441,000 of cash, including providing a $220,000 of financing to a film production company and payments resulting in a $42,000 reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Investing Activities During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, investing activities included approximately $0 and $3,000 of costs related to development of the Company’s website. Financing Activities During the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $160,000 which included approximately $174,000 of related party borrowings net of approximately $15,000 of debt repayments. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $265,000 which included approximately $250,000 of related party borrowings and approximately $15,000 of proceeds from the sale of Common Stock. Other Material Developments and Trends Ongoing Concerns We continue to face significant liquidity challenges and have concluded that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern through the next 12 months. We plan to address this by seeking additional funding sources like a short-term bridge loan, a medium-term credit-line, and a significant longer-term financial raise and the Company has reduced operating costs, but there is no assurance we will succeed. 7 ITEM 3.
