Organization and Nature of Business

Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company, a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise, the “Company” or “HOFRE”), was incorporated in Delaware as GPAQ Acquisition Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of our legal predecessor, Gordon Pointe Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”(“GPAQ”), is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on April 12, 2017. Thespecial purpose acquisition company.

On July 1, 2020, the Company was formed for the purpose of effectingconsummated a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or assets (aHOF Village, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“HOF Village”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 16, 2019 (as amended on November 6, 2019, March 10, 2020 and May 22, 2020, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, GPAQ, GPAQ Acquiror Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Acquiror Merger Sub”), GPAQ Company Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Company Merger Sub”), HOF Village and HOF Village Newco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Newco”). The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are referred to as the “Business Combination”.

The Company is a resort and entertainment company leveraging the power and popularity of professional football and its legendary players in partnership with the National Football Museum, Inc., doing business as the Pro Football Hall of Fame (“PFHOF”). AlthoughHeadquartered in Canton, Ohio, the Company owns the Hall of Fame Village powered by Johnson Controls, a multi-use sports, entertainment and media destination centered around the PFHOF’s campus. The Company is creating a diversified set of revenue streams through developing themed attractions, premier entertainment programming, sponsorships and media.

The Company has entered into several agreements with PFHOF, an affiliate of HOFRE, and certain government entities, which outline the rights and obligations of each of the parties with regard to the property on which the Hall of Fame Village powered by Johnson Controls sits, portions of which are owned by the Company and portions of which are net leased to the Company by the government entities (see Note 7 for additional information). Under these agreements, the PFHOF and the government entities are entitled to use portions of the Hall of Fame Village powered by Johnson Controls on a direct-cost basis.

COVID-19

Since 2020, the world has been, and continues to be, impacted by the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. COVID-19 and measures to prevent its spread impacted the Company’s business in a number of ways, most significantly with regard to a reduction in the number of events and attendance at events at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium and National Youth Football and Sports Complex, which negatively impacts the Company’s ability to sell sponsorships. Also, the Company opened its newly renovated DoubleTree by Hilton in Canton in November 2020, but the occupancy rate has been negatively impacted by the pandemic. The impact of these disruptions and the extent of their adverse impact on the Company’s financial and operating results will be dictated by the length of time that such disruptions continue, which will, in turn, depend on the currently unknowable duration and severity of the impacts of COVID-19, and among other things, the impact of governmental actions imposed in response to COVID-19 and individuals’ and companies’ risk tolerance regarding health matters going forward and developing strain mutations. With the State of Ohio relaxing restrictions and travel beginning to increase, the Company is not limitedtargeting more events through the second half of 2021 and moving forward.

The registration statement fordate these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Since inception, the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on January 24, 2018. On Januaryoperations have been funded principally through the issuance of debt and equity. As of June 30, 2018 the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 12,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $125,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 4,900,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to Gordon Pointe Management, LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $4,900,000, which is described in Note 4.

 Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on January 30, 2018, an amount of $126,250,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) which may be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.

Transaction costs amounted to $7,552,731, consisting of $2,500,000 of underwriting fees, $4,375,000 of deferred underwriting fees (see Note 6) and $677,731 of other costs.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or$15 million. See Note 5 for more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination.

Notwithstanding, the Company expects that it will only complete a Business Combination ifneed to raise additional financing to accomplish its development plan over the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it notnext several years.

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, a stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or other legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, officers and directors (the “Initial Stockholders”) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), and any Public Shares held by them in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)),operations will be restricted from redeemingsufficient to meet its shares with respect to an aggregate of 20% or more of the Class A common stock sold in the Initial Public Offering.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purposeobtain sufficient amounts of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (less amounts previously released to pay taxes and less interest to pay dissolution expenses of up to $100,000), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law.

The Initial Stockholders have agreed to (i) waive their conversion rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period and (iii) not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares in conjunction with any such amendment. However, the Initial Stockholders willadditional capital, it may be entitled to liquidating distributions with respect to any Public Shares acquired if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination or liquidates within the Combination Period. The underwriter and legal counsel have agreed to waive their rights to deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the $10.10 per Unit in the Initial Public Offering. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seekrequired to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claimsscope of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities withits planned development, which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and activity of the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Investments in a variable interest entity in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary, or where the Company does not own a majority interest but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for any future interim periods.using the equity method. All intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company owns a 60% interest in Mountaineer GM, LLC (“Mountaineer”), whose results are consolidated into the Company’s results of operations. The Company acquired 60% of the equity interests in Mountaineer for a purchase price of $100 from one of its related parties. The portion of Mountaineer’s net income (loss) that is not attributable to the Company is included in non-controlling interest.

Emerging Growth Company

Emerging growth company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act)Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of estimatesEstimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making The most significant estimates requires managementand assumptions for the Company relate to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimatebad debt, depreciation, costs capitalized to project development costs, useful lives of the effectassets, stock-based compensation, fair value of a condition, situation or set offinancial instruments, and estimates and assumptions used to measure impairment. Management adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events.

Common stock subject to possible redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outsidewarrants for shares of the Company’s control andCommon Stock that are not indexed to its own stock as liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet. Such warrants are subject to occurrenceremeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of uncertain future events. Accordingly,other expense on the statement of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of such Common Stock warrants. At that time, the portion of the warrant liability related to such Common Stock warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Property and Equipment and Project Development Costs

Property and equipment are recorded at March 31, 2018, common stockhistorical cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. During the construction period, the Company capitalizes all costs related to the development of the Hall of Fame Village powered by Johnson Controls. Project development costs include predevelopment costs, amortization of finance costs, real estate taxes, insurance, and other project costs incurred during the period of development. The capitalization of costs began during the preconstruction period, which the Company defines as activities that are necessary to the development of the project. The Company ceases cost capitalization when a portion of the project is held available for occupancy and placed into service. This usually occurs upon substantial completion of all costs necessary to bring a portion of the project to the condition needed for its intended use, but no later than one year from the completion of major construction activity. The Company will continue to capitalize only those costs associated with the portion still under construction. Capitalization will also cease if activities necessary for the development of the project have been suspended. As of June 30, 2021, the second two phases of the project remained subject to possible redemption is presented at redemptionsuch capitalization.

The Company reviews its property and equipment and projects under development for impairment whenever events or changes indicate that the carrying value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section oflong-lived assets may not be fully recoverable. In cases where the Company’s balance sheet.

Income taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes,” which require an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2018, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company may be subject to potential examination by federal, state and city taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal, state and city tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect thatto recover its carrying costs, an impairment charge is recorded.

The Company measures and records impairment losses on its long-lived assets when indicators of impairment are present and the total amountundiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amount. Considerable judgment by management is necessary to estimate undiscounted future operating cash flows and fair values and, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

On December 22, 2017 the U.S.  Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Reform”) was signed into law. As a result of Tax Reform, the U.S. statutory tax rate was lowered from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, among other changes. ASC Topic 740 requires companies to recognize the effect of tax law changes in the period of enactment; therefore, the Company was required to revalue its deferred tax assets and liabilities at the new rate. The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the application of GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain tax effects of Tax Reform.

Net loss per common share

Net lossBasic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net lossincome (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods.

Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s potentially dilutive Common Stock equivalent shares, which include incremental common shares issuable upon (i) the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, (ii) vesting of restricted stock units and restricted stock awards, (iii) conversion of preferred stock, and (iv) the conversion of convertible notes are only included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share when their effect is dilutive.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company calculated net income per share, diluted, as follows:

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows ASC 606, Revenue with Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company generates revenues from various streams such shares, if redeemed, only participateas sponsorship agreements, rents, cost recoveries, events, hotel operation, Hall of Fantasy League, and through the sale of non-fungible tokens. The sponsorship arrangements, in their pro rata sharewhich the customer sponsors a play area or event and receives specified brand recognition and other benefits over a set period of time, recognized revenue on a straight-line basis over the time period specified in the contract. Refer to Note 6 for more details. Revenue for rents, cost recoveries and events are recognized at the time the respective event or service has been performed.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. If the contract does not specify the revenue by performance obligation, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Such prices are generally determined using prices charged to customers or using the Company’s expected cost plus margin. Revenue is recognized as the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied. If consideration is received in advance of the Trust Account earnings. The Company has not consideredCompany’s performance, including amounts which are refundable, recognition of revenue is deferred until the effect of warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase 17,400,000 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrantsperformance obligation is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for the periods.satisfied or amounts are no longer refundable.

Revenue Recognition (continued)

The Company’s owned hotel revenues primarily consist of hotel room sales, revenue from accommodations sold in conjunction with other services (e.g. packages reservations), food and beverage sales and other ancillary goods and services (e.g. parking) related to owned hotel properties. Revenue is recognized when rooms are occupied or goods and services have been delivered or rendered, respectively. Payment terms typically align with when the goods and services are provided. Although the transaction prices of hotel room sales, goods and other services are generally fixed and based on the respective room reservation or other agreement, an estimate to reduce the transaction price is required if a discount is expected to be provided to the customer. For package reservations, the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations within the package based on the estimated standalone selling prices of each component.

Accounting for Real Estate Investments

Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, a determination is made as to whether the acquisition meets the criteria to be accounted for as an asset or business combination. The Company’s net incomedetermination is adjusted forprimarily based on whether the portion of income that is attributable to common stock subject to possible redemption, as these shares only participate inassets acquired, and liabilities assumed meet the income of the Trust Account and not the losses of the Company. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per common share is calculated as follows:

Net income $35,856

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consistdefinition of a cash account inbusiness. The determination of whether the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed meet the definition of a financial institution which, at times may exceedbusiness include a single or similar asset threshold. In applying the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. At March 31, 2018,single or similar asset threshold, if substantially all the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are not considered a business. Most of the Company’s acquisitions meet the single or similar asset threshold, due to the fact that substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired is attributable to the real estate acquired.

Acquired real estate properties accounted for as asset acquisitions are recorded at cost, including acquisition and closing costs. The Company allocates the cost of real estate properties to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated relative fair values. The Company determines the fair value of tangible assets, such as land, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment, using a combination of internal valuation techniques that consider comparable market transactions, replacement costs and other available information and fair value estimates provided by third party valuation specialists, depending upon the circumstances of the acquisition. The Company determines the fair value of identified intangible assets or liabilities, which qualify astypically relate to in-place leases, using a combination of internal valuation techniques that consider the terms of the in-place leases, current market data for comparable leases, and fair value estimates provided by third party valuation specialists, depending upon the circumstances of the acquisition.

If a transaction is determined to be a business combination, the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any identified intangibles are recorded at their estimated fair values on the transaction date, and transaction costs are expensed in the period incurred.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820–10 “Fair Value Measurement” of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification to measure the fair value of its financial instruments underand disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. ASC Topic 820, “Fair820–10 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820–10 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels.

Fair Value MeasurementsMeasurement (continued)

The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820–10 are described below:

Level 1Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

Financial assets or liabilities are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and Disclosures,” approximatesat least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

The carrying amounts representedof the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company uses Levels 1 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy to measure the fair value of its warrant liabilities. The Company revalues such liabilities at every reporting period and recognizes gains or losses as change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the accompanyingunaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations that are attributable to the change in the fair value of the warrant liabilities.

The following table provides the financial liabilities measured on a recurring basis and reported at fair value on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Fair Value Measurement (continued)

The Public Warrants are classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in the active market. Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the Private Warrants, November Warrants, and December Warrants, for which there is no current market for these securities and the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurement categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as modified by subsequently issued ASU Nos. 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11, 2018-20 and 2019-01 (collectively “ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. In June 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-05, further extending the effective date by one year making it effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. Most prominent among the changes in ASU 2016-02 is the lessees’ recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for operating leases. The right-of-use asset and lease liability are initially measured based on the present value of committed lease payments. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Expenses related to operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis, while those related to financing leases are recognized under a front-loaded approach in which interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset are presented separately in the statement of operations. As the Company is an emerging growth company and following private company deadlines, the Company has an additional deferral under this ASU to adopt beginning after December 15, 2021. Similarly, lessors are required to classify leases as sales-type, finance or operating with classification affecting the pattern of income recognition.

Classification for both lessees and lessors is based on an assessment of whether risks and rewards as well as substantive control have been transferred through a lease contract. ASU 2016-02 also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of this new standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements,” which requires an entity (a lessee or lessor) to provide transition disclosures under Topic 250 upon adoption of Topic 842. In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases.” The ASU adds and amends SEC paragraphs in the ASC to reflect the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 related to the new credit losses standard and comments by the SEC staff related to the revised effective date of the new leases standard. This new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of this new standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Business Overview

The Company is a resort and entertainment company located in Canton, Ohio, leveraging the power and popularity of professional football in partnership with the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Company was formed in 2015 by initial equity members IRG Canton Village Member, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Hall of Fame Village, Inc., an Ohio corporation (which transferred its membership interest to its parent, the Pro Football Hall of Fame, in 2019). In 2016, the Company was rebranded as Johnson Controls Hall of Fame Village based on a strategic long-term naming rights agreement completed with Johnson Controls, a global Fortune 500 company listed on the NYSE. The Company expects to create a diversified set of revenue streams through developing themed attractions, premier entertainment programming, sponsorships, gaming, and media. The strategic plan has been developed in three phases of growth.

The first phase of the Hall of Fame Village powered by Johnson Controls is operational, consisting of the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, the National Youth Football & Sports Complex, and a media company. In August 2017, the Company completed the construction of the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, a sports and entertainment venue with a seating capacity of approximately 23,000. The Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium hosts multiple sports and entertainment events, including the NFL Hall of Fame Game, Enshrinement and the Concert for Legends during the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Week. In 2016, the Company opened the National Youth Football & Sports Complex, which consists of eight full-sized, multi-use regulation football fields, five of which have been completed in Phase I. The facility hosts camps and tournaments for football players, as well as athletes from across the country in other sports such as lacrosse and soccer. In 2017, the Company formed a sports and entertainment media company, HOF Village Media Group, LLC, leveraging the sport of professional football to produce exclusive programming using the extensive content controlled by the Pro Football Hall of Fame, as well as new programming assets developed from live events such as tournaments, camps and sporting events held at the National Youth Football & Sports Complex and the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium.

The Company is developing new hospitality, attraction and corporate assets surrounding the Pro Football Hall of Fame Museum as part of a Phase II development plan. Plans for future components of the Hall of Fame Village powered by Johnson include two premium hotels (one on campus and one in downtown Canton about five minutes from campus that was opened in Q4 2020), an indoor waterpark, the Center for Excellence (an office building including retail and dining establishments), the Center for Performance (a convention center/field house), and the Hall of Fame Retail Promenade.


Key Components of the Company’s Results of Operations.Operations

Revenue

 

ReferencesThe Company’s sponsorship revenue is derived from its agreements with third parties such as Johnson Controls and Constellation NewEnergy. These sponsorship agreements are generally multi-year agreements to provide cash or some other type of benefit to the “Company,” “our,” “us”Company. Some agreements require the Company to use a portion of the sponsorship revenue to incur marketing and other activation costs associated with the agreement, and this revenue is shown net of those associated costs. Additionally, the Company’s Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium is used to host premier entertainment and sports events to generate event revenues. In addition to top entertainers, the stadium is used to host a variety of sporting events, including high school, college and professional football games throughout the year. The Company plans to continue to expand programming where applicable for its live event business. The Company’s other revenue is derived primarily from rents and cost reimbursement.

Operating Expenses

The Company’s operating expenses include property operating expenses, depreciation expense and other operating expenses. These expenses have increased in connection with putting the Company’s first phase into operation and the Company expects these expenses to continue to increase with the Company’s growth.

The Company’s property operating expenses include the costs associated with running its operational entertainment and destination assets such as the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium and the Youth Sports Complex. As more of the Company’s Phase II assets become operational and additional events for top performers and sporting events are held, the Company expects these expenses to continue to increase with the Company’s development.

Other operating expenses include items such as management fees, commission expense and professional fees. The Company expects these expenses to continue to increase with the Company’s growth.

The Company’s depreciation expense includes the related costs to owning and operating significant property and entertainment assets. These expenses have grown as the Company completed Phase I development and the assets associated with Phase I became operational. The Company expects these expenses to continue to grow as Phase II and III assets are developed and become operational.

Impact of COVID-19

Since early 2020, the world has been, and continues to be, impacted by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. COVID-19 and measures to prevent its spread impacted our business in a number of ways, most significantly with regard to a reduction in the number of events and attendance at events at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium and National Youth Football and Sports Complex, which negatively impacts our ability to sell sponsorships. Also, we opened our newly renovated DoubleTree by Hilton in Canton in November 2020, but the occupancy rate has been negatively impacted by the pandemic. The impact of these disruptions and the extent of their adverse impact on our financial and operating results will be dictated by the length of time that such disruptions continue, which will, in turn, depend on the currently unknowable duration and severity of the impacts of COVID-19, and among other things, the impact of governmental actions imposed in response to COVID-19 and individuals’ and companies’ risk tolerance regarding health matters going forward and developing strain mutations.

Sponsorship Revenues

The Company’s sponsorship revenues were $1,508,402 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1,660,928 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, for a decrease of $152,526, or “we” refer9%. This decrease was primarily driven by the cancellation of a smaller sponsorship agreement as well as the impact of revisions to Gordon Pointe Acquisition Corp.two sponsorship agreements effective in the third quarter of 2020.


Rents and cost recoveries

The Company’s revenue from rents and cost recoveries was $55,078 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $42,657 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, for an increase of $12,421, or 29%. This increase was primarily driven by the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions for many youth sports events in the second quarter of 2021 which limited rentals in the second quarter of 2020.

Hotel Revenues

The Company’s hotel revenue was $795,222 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $0 from the three months ended June 30, 2020. This was driven by the opening of the DoubleTree Hotel in November 2020.

Property Operating Expenses

The Company’s property operating expense was $6,219,781 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $2,428,283 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, for an increase of $3,791,498, or 156%. This increase was driven by the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions in the second quarter of 2021 and the return of a more normal property operation.

Hotel Operating Expenses

The Company’s hotel operating expense was $1,596,989 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was driven by the Company incurring operating expenses related to the DoubleTree Hotel opening in November 2020.

Interest Expense

The Company’s total interest expense was $1,004,419 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $2,199,785 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, for a decrease of $1,195,366, or 54%. The decrease in total interest expense is primarily due to extinguishment of select debt instruments at the close of the business combination and the cancellation of a note we owed IRG in exchange for issuance of shares of the Company’s Common Stock and warrants (the “Series C Warrants”) in December, as well as changes in interest rates and certain interest expense due to affiliate that was waived under a revised agreement at June 30, 2020.

Amortization of Debt Discount

The Company’s total amortization of debt discount was $1,164,613 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $3,443,333 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, for a decrease of $2,278,720, or 66%. The decrease in total amortization of debt discount is primarily due to the conversion of the Company’s various outstanding notes payable throughout the second half of 2020.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

The Company’s change in fair value warrant liability was a gain of $26,315,888 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 due to the warrant liabilities the Company acquired in its business combination on July 1, 2020 along with warrants issued in November and December 2020.

Sponsorship Revenues

The Company’s sponsorship revenues were $2,983,838 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $3,321,856 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, for a decrease of $338,018, or 10%. This decrease was primarily driven by the cancellation of a smaller sponsorship agreement as well as the impact of revisions to two sponsorship agreements effective in the third quarter of 2020.

Rents and cost recoveries

The Company’s revenue from rents and cost recoveries was $96,961 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $317,437 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, for a decrease of $220,476, or 69%. This decrease was primarily driven by the cancellation of many youth sports events in the first half of 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic that the Company was previously able to hold in the first quarter of 2020.


Hotel Revenues

The Company’s hotel revenue was $1,191,560 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $0 from the six months ended June 30, 2020. This was driven by the opening of the DoubleTree Hotel in November 2020.

Property Operating Expenses

The Company’s property operating expense was $12,228,780 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $9,112,269 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, for an increase of $3,116,511, or 34%. This increase was driven by the lifting of some COVID-19 restrictions in the first half of 2021 and the return to more normal property operations.

Hotel Operating Expenses

The Company’s hotel operating expense was $2,363,154 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was driven by the Company incurring operating expenses related to the DoubleTree Hotel opening in November 2020.

Commission Expense

The Company’s commission expense was $427,250 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $1,057,980 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, for a decrease of $630,730, or 60%. The decrease in commission expense is primarily the result of final prior year commissions’ fees paid in the first quarter of 2020 per the agreements in place at that time.

Depreciation Expense

The Company’s depreciation expense was $5,893,067 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $5,445,423 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, for an increase of $447,644, or 8%. The increase in depreciation expense is primarily the result of additional depreciation expense incurred due to the DoubleTree Hotel opening in November 2020 as well as renovations completed at the Company’s temporary office location earlier in the second quarter of 2020.

Interest Expense

The Company’s total interest expense was $1,959,727 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $4,209,795 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, for a decrease of $2,250,068, or 53%. The decrease in total interest expense is primarily due to extinguishment of select debt instruments at the close of the Business Combination and the cancellation of a note we owed IRG in exchange for issuance of shares of the Company’s Common Stock and Series C Warrants in December 2020, as well as changes in interest rates and certain interest expense due to affiliate that was waived under a revised agreement at June 30, 2020.

Amortization of Debt Discount

The Company’s total amortization of debt discount was $2,398,727 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $6,677,746 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, for a decrease of $4,279,019, or 64%. The decrease in total amortization of debt discount is primarily due to the conversion of the Company’s various outstanding notes payable throughout the second half of 2020.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

The Company’s change in fair value warrant liability was a loss of $90,035,112 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to the warrant liabilities the Company acquired in its Business Combination on July 1, 2020 along with warrants issued in November and December 2020.

Gain on Forgiveness of Debt

The Company’s gain on forgiveness of debt was $390,400 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The gain on forgiveness of debt is due to the forgiveness of the Company’s Paycheck Protection Program Loan during the first quarter of 2021.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations through June 30, 2021. In addition, the Company has significant debt obligations maturing in the 12 month period subsequent to the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Since inception, the Company’s operations have been funded principally through the issuance of debt and equity. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $62 million of unrestricted cash and $12 million of restricted cash, respectively.

During February 2021, the Company received approximately $34.5 million gross proceeds from the issuance of shares of its common stock, before offering costs.

On June 4, 2021, the Company completed a private placement with CH Capital Lending, LLC, pursuant to which the Company sold to CH Capital Lending, LLC for a purchase price of $15 million (i) 15,000 shares of 7.00% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), which are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, having an aggregate liquidation preference of $15 million plus any accrued but unpaid dividends to the date of payment, and (ii) 2,450,980 warrants, with a term of three years, exercisable six months after issuance, each exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.90 per share, subject to certain adjustments (the “Series D Warrants”). Also on June 4, 2021, the Company closed a securities purchase agreement with another purchaser for 200 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 32,680 Series D Warrants in exchange for $200,000.

The Company believes that, as a result of these transactions and its current ongoing negotiations, it currently has sufficient cash and future financing to meet its funding requirements over the next twelve months. Notwithstanding, the Company expects that it will need to raise additional financing to accomplish its development plan over the next several years. The Company is seeking to obtain additional funding through debt, construction lending, and equity financing. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company or at all, or that cash flows generated from its operations will be sufficient to meet its current operating costs. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, it may be required to reduce the scope of its planned development, which could harm its financial condition and operating results.

Cash Flows

Since inception, the Company has primarily used its available cash to fund its project development expenditures. The following table sets forth a summary of cash flows for the periods presented:

This discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-lookingunaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as a result of certain factors detailedwhich have been prepared in our filingsaccordance with the SEC.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on April 12, 2017 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). We completed our Initial Public Offering on January 30, 2018. Under the terms of our Initial Public Offering, we will have until July 30, 2019 to complete a Business Combination.

Since the date of the Initial Public Offering, we have started to contact businesses, intermediaries and other third parties to evaluate a number of targets that may be candidates for a possible Business Combination. Although we will continue to review a number of opportunities to enter into a Business Combination, we are not able to determine at this time whether we will complete a Business Combination within the allotted 18-month timeframe. We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the private placement of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity from inception up to January 30, 2018 was in preparation for our Initial Public Offering. Since our Initial Public Offering, our activity has been limited to the evaluation of Business Combination candidates, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting,generally accepted accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses. 

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we had net income of $35,856, which consists of interest income on marketable securities heldprinciples in the Trust AccountUnited States of $292,038, offset by operating costs of $229,889, an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $16,762, and a provision for income taxes of $9,531.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of Founder Shares to our sponsor, Gordon Pointe Management, LLC (“Sponsor”), and from advances from our Sponsor.

Through March 31, 2018, the Sponsor advanced an aggregate of $143,302 for costs associated with the Initial Public Offering. The advances are non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand. As of March 31, 2018, there were $88,095 of outstanding advances from related parties.

On January 30, 2018, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 12,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of $125,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 4,900,000 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $4,900,000.

13

Following the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $126,250,000 was placed in a Trust Account and, following the payment of certain transaction expenses, we had approximately $470,000 of cash held outside of the trust account and available for working capital purposes.

As of March 31, 2018, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $126,525,276 (including approximately $275,000 of interest income, net of unrealized losses) consisting ofAmerica, or U.S. treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes and up to $100,000 of dissolution expenses. Through March 31, 2018, we did not withdraw any funds from the interest earned on the Trust Account.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, cash used in operating activities was $191,682, consisting primarily of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $292,038, offset by net income of $35,856 and an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $16,762. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $47,738 of cash from operating activities.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest from the trust account to pay franchise and income taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of March 31, 2018, we had cash of $466,060 held outside the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, we agreed to pay each of our independent directors an annual retainer of $20,000 (pro-rated for interim periods of service) for their service as members of our Board, for which, in addition to general matters of corporate governance and oversight, we expect our Board members to assist us in the identification and evaluation of industries and particular businesses that are, in the reasonable judgment of the Board, suitable acquisition targets for us, as well as assisting us in the review and analysis of alternative Business Combinations. In addition, we have agreed to pay each independent director a telephonic meeting fee of $1,000 or in-person meeting fee of $1,500 for each meeting attended by such independent director. We have also agreed to pay the Chairperson of the Audit Committee an annual retainer of $7,500 and the Chairperson of the Compensation Committee an annual retainer of $5,000. All such fees will be deferred and become payable on the consummation of a Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies and/or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Off-balance sheet financing arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2018. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

14

Contractual obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of our Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and administrative support provided to the Company. We began incurring these fees on January 30, 2018 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation.

Critical Accounting Policies

GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires managementus 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 incomethe reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods reported.reported periods. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could materiallymay differ from those estimates. The Company has identified the following critical accounting policy:these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Common Stock subject to possible redemption

We account for our common stock subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stocks that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stocks are classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stocks feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2018, the common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheet.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effectFor information on the Company’s significant accounting policies please refer to Note 2 to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

We rely on sponsorship contracts to generate revenues.

We will receive a portion of our annual revenues from sponsorship agreements, including the amended and restated sponsorship and naming rights agreement, dated as of July 2, 2020 (the “Naming Rights Agreement”), by and among HOF Village, PFHOF and Johnson Controls, the sponsorship and services agreement, dated as of December 19, 2018, as amended (the “Constellation Sponsorship Agreement”), by and among HOF Village, PFHOF and Constellation NewEnergy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Constellation”), and other sponsorship agreements for various content, media and live events produced at Hall of Fame Village powered by Johnson Controls such as title, official product and promotional partner sponsorships, billboards, signs and other media. We are continuously in negotiations with existing sponsors and actively seeking new sponsors as there is significant competition for sponsorships. Some of our live events may not secure a title sponsor, may not secure a sufficient number of sponsorships on favorable terms, or may not secure sponsorships sufficiently enough in advance of an event, which may lead to event cancellations or otherwise adversely affect the revenue generated from such events.

The Naming Rights Agreement is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2034, but provides termination rights both to (a) HOF Village and PFHOF and (b) Johnson Controls, which may be exercised in the event the other party breaches any of its covenants and agreements under the Naming Rights Agreement beyond certain notice and cure periods, applies for or consents to the appointment of a custodian of any kind with respect to all or substantially all of its assets, becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts generally as they become due, makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, files a voluntary petition seeking relief under any bankruptcy law, or an involuntary petition is filed by a creditor under any bankruptcy law and is approved by a court of competent jurisdiction. Additionally, Johnson Controls has a right to terminate the Naming Rights Agreement if (i) we do not provide evidence to Johnson Controls by October 31, 2021, subject to day-for-day extension due to force majeure, that we have secured sufficient debt and equity financing to complete Phase II, subject to a notice and cure period, (ii) Phase II is not open for business by January 2, 2024 or (iii) HOF Village is in default beyond applicable notice and cure periods under certain agreements, such as the Technology as a Service Agreement, any loan document evidencing or securing any construction loan with respect to the Hall of Fame Village powered by Johnson Controls and any agreement with its general contractor with respect to the construction of the Hall of Fame Village powered by Johnson Controls, among others. There can be no assurance that we will secure sufficient debt and equity financing to complete Phase II on March 30, 2018or before October 31, 2021. There can also be no assurance that Phase II will be open for business by January 2, 2024.

The Constellation Sponsorship Agreement is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2029, but provides termination rights both to (a) HOF Village and PFHOF and (b) Constellation, which may be exercised if a party would suffer material damage to its reputation by association with the SEC, however,other party or if there is an event of default. An event of default under the Constellation Sponsorship Agreement includes a party’s failure to perform its material obligations (which includes our failure to reach certain specified milestones in the construction of the Constellation Center for Excellence) for 60 days after receiving written notice from the other party and failure to cure such default; a party’s becoming insolvent or filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy; a party’s being adjudged bankrupt; an involuntary petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency law being filed against a party; a party’s sale, assignment or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets (other than to an affiliate in the case of HOF Village or PFHOF). Additionally, Constellation has a right to terminate the Constellation Sponsorship Agreement effective as of December 31, 2023 for failure to recover its investment in the form of new business, if it provides written notice on or prior to December 1, 2022.

Loss of our existing title sponsors or other major sponsorship agreements, including the Naming Rights Agreement and Constellation Sponsorship Agreement, or failure to secure sponsorship agreements in the future on favorable terms, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


The maturity date of the Term Loan, which is secured by substantially all of our assets, is December 1, 2021. There can be no assurance that we may disclose changeswill be able to repay the obligation upon maturity to avoid a default.

We are party to a term loan agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”), dated as of December 1, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), among the Company, Newco, and certain of Newco’s subsidiaries, as borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”), and Aquarian Credit Funding LLC (“Aquarian”), as lead arranger, administrative agent, collateral agent and representative of the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), as amended by Amendment Number 1 dated January 28, 2021 (“Loan Amendment No. 1”) and Amendment Number 2 dated February 15, 2021 (“Loan Amendment No. 2”), pursuant to which we borrowed $40.0 million from the Lenders (the “Term Loan”). The term of the Term Loan Agreement is 12 months from the Effective Date (the “Term”). The Term Loan will bear interest at a fixed rate equal to 10.0% per annum, payable monthly in advance on the outstanding amount of the Term Loan during the Term. Loan Amendment No. 1 and Loan Amendment No. 2 extended from January 30, 2021 to February 28, 2021 the deadline (the “Delivery Date”) the Company has to deliver (i) fully executed “springing” or “soft lockbox” control agreements with respect to certain accounts of the Borrowers and (ii) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Aquarian, as administrative agent under the Term Loan Agreement (the “Administrative Agent”), that a Borrower is now the sole beneficiary of certain accounts which have not been closed (as permitted in Section 6.16 of the Term Loan Agreement), in each case prior to the Delivery Date. There can be no assurance that we will be able to repay the Term Loan upon maturity to avoid a default.

On the Effective Date, we used approximately $4.04 million from the Term Loan to prefund an amount equal to the cash interest on the Term Loan for the entire Term into an account controlled by Aquarian. We used approximately $23.3 million from the Term Loan to pay the outstanding balance and fees under our bridge loan, dated March 20, 2018, among the Company, various lenders party thereto and GACP Finance Co., LLC (“Bridge Loan”). The remaining proceeds of the Term Loan, after payment of various fees and expenses, and subject to the Liquidity Covenant (defined below), are available for general corporate purposes.

The Term Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for this type of loan, including without limitation (i) affirmative covenants, including the maintenance of certain key contracts and content rights, adherence to a detailed cash flow forecast including a hard cost and a soft cost construction budget, and (ii) negative covenants, including restrictions on additional indebtedness, prepayment of other indebtedness, transactions with related parties, additional liens, dividends, investments and advances, sales of assets, capital expenditures, mergers and acquisitions, and standard prohibitions on change of control. Additionally, from the Effective Date until repayment of the Term Loan, we must maintain, in an account controlled by Aquarian (the “Proceeds Account”), cash and cash equivalents equal to at least $7.5 million (the “Liquidity Covenant”). Subject to stated exceptions, we must deposit all funds received by the Borrowers during the Term from any and all sources into the Proceeds Account and must have Aquarian’s prior written approval to withdraw any amounts from the Proceeds Account, pursuant to a budget and schedule agreed upon by the parties. As of December 31, 2020, there was approximately $15 million in the Proceeds Account. We are also required to prepay the outstanding balance of the Term Loan under certain circumstances and the Lenders will have the right to approve certain types of transactions by us during the Term.

We are diligently pursuing financing for the development and construction of Phase II of our development plan (“Construction Financing”), but have not yet obtained such factorsfinancing. A covenant in the Term Loan Agreement provides that on or disclose additional factors from timebefore September 1, 2021, we must obtain a commitment with respect to timeConstruction Financing in an amount that is not less than the amount necessary to refinance and repay our obligations under our Term Loan Agreement. The commitment must anticipate funding of the Construction Financing on or before the maturity date of our Term Loan Agreement, which is December 1, 2021. The failure to obtain a Construction Financing commitment on or before September 1, 2021 would constitute an event of default under our Term Loan Agreement. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain commitments for Construction Financing by September 1, 2021.

We have provided collateral in connection with the Term Loan, including, with certain exceptions: (i) a perfected, first priority security interest in all our real and intangible property, including cash and accounts (to be perfected through account control agreements), contracts, intellectual property, leases, plans and specifications, permits, licenses, approvals, entitlements, and development rights; (ii) a perfected first priority pledge of 100% of the portion of the ownership interests in our future filings withsubsidiaries; and (iii) a first mortgage, an assignment of leases and rents, and environmental indemnity covering the SEC.property owned by the Borrowers (collateral protection to include other customary documentation, including but not limited to deeds in lieu and cognovits, subject to prior exhaustion of all customary notice and cure periods in the event of default, as detailed in the Term Loan documents).

The Term Loan is guaranteed up to $22.3 million (the “Guaranty”) by IRG Master Holding, Inc. (the “Guarantor”), an affiliate of Industrial Realty Group, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“IRG”), that is controlled by one of our directors, Stuart Lichter. The Guaranty will terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the payment in full of all obligations under the Term Loan Agreement; (ii) the Guarantor or any of its affiliates purchases $22.3 million of the principal amount of the Term Loan pursuant to a written agreement mutually acceptable to Aquarian, the required Lenders and the Guarantor (whether in the form of a co-lender arrangement or participation); or (iii) the Borrowers deposit in the Proceeds Account net cash proceeds from additional permitted equity issuances and/or permitted indebtedness in an amount equal to or greater than $25 million.
