Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations together with our 2020 audited financial statements appearing at the end of our Form 1-K, filed April 30, 2021, and the financial statements and related notes appearing at the end of this Semiannual Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements. The use of the words “we,” “us,” “the Company,” “Angel Studios,” or “our” refers to Angel Studios, Inc., except where the context otherwise requires.
 
Overview
 
We are not your typical media and entertainment company. We are guided by our “North Star” principle, which is to share stories with the world that amplify light. We do this by aligning our interests with those of the creators and the audience, utilizing the wisdom of crowds to help guide decisions on the content that gets created. In times of stress and worry, our original content has already helped hundreds of millions of people laugh out loud more than a billion times and provided tens of millions with hope during a dark, and uncertain season of history. We believe there has never been a better time to build a different media and entertainment company that allows You to “Be part of stories that matter.”
 
History
 
The Company was founded by four brothers, Neal, Daniel, Jeffrey, and Jordan Harmon, in 2013. As fathers of children aged newborn to ten, they were searching for a better way to watch quality content with their kids. The Company was originally founded as a way to give viewers greater personal control over the movies and television programs they watched at home. In 2016, we launched Angel Studios, a new studio concept that gives the audience more control over what content is ultimately funded and produced. The first project launched under the new studio concept was Dry Bar Comedy. Several hundred episodes later, Dry Bar Comedy is now one of the largest collections of clean comedy in the world and can be enjoyed by audiences of all ages. Shortly thereafter, we partnered with The Chosen, LLC, or The Chosen, to produce a new type of television series where each season is funded by the audience. The Chosen went on to become the largest crowdfunded media project of all time.
 
Building on our early successes, we have launched several new initiatives that focus on content in markets currently underserved by the traditional studio system. We are regularly testing, introducing, and building new and exciting community-based features to help us achieve the goal of sharing stories with the world that amplify light.
 
Bankruptcy Reorganization
 
The Company recently reorganized under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Our reorganization plan became effective on September 30, 2020. More information on this can be found in the section entitled “Bankruptcy Proceedings” under Item 1, of our Form 1-K filed April 30, 2021.
 
General Corporate Matters
 
On February 22, 2021, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to change the current allocation of Class A and Class B Common Stock from 23,000,000 shares and 12,000,000 shares to 24,000,000 shares and 11,000,000 shares, respectively. Further, the Company also amended its stock incentive plan to increase the number of Class A common stock available to grant from 3,500,000 shares to 5,775,000 shares.
 
On August 4, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company adopted resolutions by unanimous written consent recommending that the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of October 20, 2016, between the Company and the holders of the Company’s Class B Common Stock (the “Class B Stockholders”) (the “Original Agreement”) be amended and restated. On August 16, 2021, certain Class B Stockholders party to the Original Agreement, acting by written consent in accordance with Section 12 of the Original Agreement, adopted resolutions approving and adopting the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) in order to make certain amendments to the Original Agreement, as recommended by the Board. A copy of the Amended Agreement was filed as Exhibit 3.1, of our Form 1-U filed on August 18, 2021, and is incorporated by reference into this Semi-Annual Report on Form 1-SA.

Regulation Crowdfunding Offering
 
Pursuant to the filing of our Form C on March 18, 2021, the Company sold 561,797 shares of our Class B Common Stock, at a price of $8.90 per share, through a crowdfunding financing transaction under Regulation Crowdfunding of the Securities act of 1933 (the “Regulation CF Transaction”). The Regulation CF Transaction was conducted through VAS Portal, LLC (the “Intermediary”). The Intermediary received 5% of the total amount raised in the transaction (the “Intermediary Fee”). Net of the Intermediary Fee and other associated fees, the Company received $4,611,328 of net proceeds from the offering.
 
Material Transactions
 
We entered into an asset purchase agreement, selling substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of our content filtering service, which operated the website know as VidAngel.com. More information on this can be found in the section entitled “Material Agreements Entered into during the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2021” under Item 1, of our Form 1-K filed April 30, 2021.
 
On April 8, 2021, we purchased the domain name angel.com, for $2,000,000. With our recent name change to Angel Studios, Inc., and the sale of substantially all of the assets of our content filtering service, this purchase allows us to organize our intellectual property and associated products and services under a top-level domain name that aligns with our guiding principles and honors the tens of thousands of investors who have backed our Company and the media projects that we are distributing, our “Angel” investors.

Period ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the period ended June 30, 2020
 
Revenues for the period ended June 30, 2021, increased 113% compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was largely related to the increase in sales of licensed content related to The Chosen.
 
 
2
 
 
 
The increase in our cost of revenues was directly attributed to our increased revenues which resulted in greater licensing and royalty costs, higher website hosting and server related expenses, and higher transaction processing costs for The Chosen.
 
The increase in sales and marketing expense was due to additional advertisement and promotional expense related to The Chosen.
 
The increase in the general and administration expense was due to increased headcount and third-party consulting costs necessary to manage our growth and increase in revenues.
 
The decrease in legal expenses was largely due to no additional costs related to our defense in the Copyright Litigation that was finalized in 2020.
 
The increase in research and development expense was due to the hiring of additional personnel to manage the growth of our business.
 
The decrease in settlement expense was a result of the resolution of litigation as part of the Reorganization Plan in 2020.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Operating and Capital Expenditure Requirements
 
 
 
As of
 
 
 
June 30, 2021
 
 
Dec 31, 2020
 
Cash, and cash equivalents
 $20,987,206 
 $11,022,292 
Long-term debt
  4,962,618 
  5,064,231 
 
 
Cash and cash equivalents increased $9.96 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the increase in sales, and from the sale of our Class B Common Stock. We raised $4,999,531 by selling 561,745 shares of our Class B Common Stock, under the exemption provided by Regulation Crowdfunding, or Regulation CF.
 
To date, we have funded our operations through private and public offerings of common stock. As of June 30, 2021, we had cash on hand of $20,987,206. We have an outstanding, non-interest-bearing promissory note in the amount of $9,369,643.16, payable over fifty-three (53) remaining equal quarterly installments of $176,786. The expense was recorded at the present value of the obligation with an imputed interest rate of 10%. The short-term obligation related to this note as of June 30, 2021, was $198,332, and the long-term obligation is $4,962,618. We project that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements for at least the next 12 months.
 
We may need to raise additional funds to invest in growth opportunities, product development, sales and marketing, and other purposes. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate; the level of investments we make in product development, sales and marketing activities, and other investments to support the growth of our business, and may increase materially from those currently planned.
 
We may seek to raise additional funds through equity financing. Any additional equity financing likely would be dilutive to existing stockholders. At this time, we have commitments for additional capital funds.

COVID-19 Pandemic
 
The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global disruptions have affected our business in various ways.
 
We restarted the filming of our Dry Bar Comedy Live performances at the end of 2020. We are following all local government and health department rules and regulations to increase the level of safety for both our employees and customers. As we typically film shows up to 6-months in advance of release, incurring expenses related to their production up-front, the cancellations related to the pandemic are not expected to impact our ability to deliver new episodes of Dry Bar Comedy moving forward.
 
Season 2 of The Chosen was released in April 2021. The number of people who have viewed an episode continues to increase significantly, with the majority of all episodes watched having occurred after the outbreak was officially characterized a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Initially, we believe that a combination of quarantine measures and lower digital advertising costs, helped lead to a significant increase in sales, but these effects were short lived, and we don’t expect the end of the pandemic to have an effect on sales in the future.
 
The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations and financial results will depend on a number of factors that we do not control and may not be able to accurately predict. We will continue to assess the situation as it progresses and take any action required by federal, state, or local authorities under the law, or that we determine is in the best interests of our employees, customers, and stockholders.

Note 2 – Description of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Organization
 
The Company comprises Angel Studios, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Dry Bar Comedy, LLC (a Utah limited liability company organized on January 20, 2017), Angel Studios Licensing, LLC (a Utah limited liability company organized on September 15, 2020), and Studio Brokerage, LLC (a Utah limited liability company organized on October 8, 2019). Angel Studios, Inc, was originally organized as a Utah limited liability company on November 13, 2013. On February 7, 2014, the Company converted to a Delaware corporation.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Key management estimates include the estimated economic useful lives of property and equipment, estimated useful lives of the movie asset based on the estimated economic useful life to the estimated salvage value, estimated imputed interest rate on accrued settlement costs, valuation allowances for net deferred income tax assets, and valuation of stock-based compensation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities to the Company of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2021, these cash equivalents consisted of certificate of deposit accounts.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable is recorded at the invoiced amounts, net of writeoffs and an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a variety of factors that affect the collectability of the receivables, including the length of time receivables are past due, significant onetime events, the financial health of the customers and historical experience. Given the historical payment history of the customers, the Company has not deemed it necessary to maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2021.
 
Merchandise Inventory
 
Merchandise inventory consists of discs, books, CD’s, apparel, and other inventory purchased for resale, for The Chosen TV series. Merchandise Inventory is recorded at average cost. The Company periodically reviews the merchandise inventory for excess supply, obsolesce, and valuations above estimated realization amounts, and provides a reserve to cover these items. Management determined that no allowance for merchandize inventory was necessary as of June 30, 2021.
 
Movie Asset
 
Movie asset includes DVD and BluRay discs purchased by the Company for resale, not in excess of realizable value. The Company sold the movie asset during 2021 as part of the asset purchase agreement related to the filtering business, and thus wrote down the inventory as of December 31, 2020, to the amount that was movie asset was purchased for which was $40,000. The write down was $930,372 and is included in operating expenses in the statement of operations as of December 31, 2020.
 
Property and Equipment

3 years
Production equipment

Property and Equipment (continued)
 
Expenditures that materially increase values or capacities or extend useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Routine maintenance, repairs, and renewal costs are expensed as incurred. Upon sale or other retirement of depreciable property, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the related accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations.
 
Intangible Assets
 
Intangible assets consist of domain names the company has acquired and is stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the domain names of approximately 30 years.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company reviews its property and equipment, and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may be impaired. If it is determined that the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized in the statements of operations for the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset. During the December 31, 2020 period, the Company recorded an impairment loss to its Movie Asset of $930,372 due to a onetime write down to the estimated liquidation value of the asset. No other significant write-downs have occurred during 2021.
