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.

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.

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.

Emerging growth companyGrowth 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. 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 an 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates and assumptions for the Company relate to bad debt, depreciation, costs capitalized to project development costs, useful lives of assets, stock-based compensation, and fair value of financial instruments (including the fair value of the Company’s warrant liability). Management adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for warrants for shares of the Company’s Common Stock that are not indexed to its own stock as liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet under U.S. GAAP. Such warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of 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 historical cost and 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 at least reasonably possibleheld 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 March 31, 2022, the second two phases of the project remained subject to such capitalization.

The Company reviews its property and equipment and projects under development for impairment whenever events or changes indicate that the estimatecarrying value of the effectlong-lived assets may not be fully recoverable. In cases where the Company does not expect to recover its carrying costs, an impairment charge is recorded.

The Company measures and records impairment losses on its long-lived assets when indicators of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed atimpairment are present and the date of the financial statements, whichundiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amount. Considerable judgment by management considered in formulating itsis necessary to estimate could change in the near term due to one or moreundiscounted future confirming events. Accordingly, theoperating cash flows, and fair values and accordingly, actual results could differvary significantly from thosesuch estimates.

Cash and cash equivalentsRestricted Cash

The Company considers all short-termhighly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company didmaintains its cash and escrow accounts at national financial institutions. The balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.

Restricted cash includes escrow reserve accounts for capital improvements and debt service as required under certain of the Company’s debt agreements. The balances at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $6,807,490 and $7,105,057, respectively.

The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Management individually reviews all delinquent accounts receivable balances and based on an assessment of current creditworthiness, estimates the portion, if any, cash equivalents asof the balance that will not be collected. As of March 31, 20182022 and December 31, 2017.2021, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $937,500 and $0, respectively.

Accounting for Real Estate Investments

Upon the U.S.  Tax Cutsacquisition 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 determination is primarily based on whether the assets acquired and Jobs Actliabilities assumed meet the definition of 2017 (“Tax Reform”) was signed into law. As a resultbusiness. The determination of Tax Reform,whether the U.S. statutory tax rate was lowered from 35%assets acquired and liabilities assumed meet the definition of a business include a single or similar asset threshold. In applying the single or similar asset threshold, if substantially all 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 21% effective January 1, 2018, amongthe 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 changes. ASC Topic 740 requires companiesavailable 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 typically relate to recognizein-place leases, using a combination of internal valuation techniques that consider the effectterms of tax law changesthe 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 FASB’s ASC 820–10, Fair Value Measurement, to measure the fair value of enactment; therefore,its financial instruments and to incorporate disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820–10 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 broad levels.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Fair Value Measurement (continued)

The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820–10-20 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 at 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 of 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 on the new rate. change in fair value of the warrant liabilities as “change in fair value of warrant liabilities” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”)following table provides the financial liabilities measured on a recurring basis and reported at fair value on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2022 and 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized 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.determine such fair value:

Fair Value Measurement (continued)

The Series A Warrants issued to the previous shareholders of GPAQ (the “Public Series A 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 Series A Warrants issued to the sponsors of GPAQ (the “Private Series A Warrants”), the Series B Warrants issued in the Company’s November 2020 follow-on public offering, and the Series C Warrants issued in the Company’s December 2020 private placement, for which there is no current market for these securities, and the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

The Amended and Restated Series C Warrants extend the term of the Series C Warrants to March 1, 2027. The exercise price of $1.40 per common share was not modified, but the amendments subject the exercise price to a weighted-average antidilution adjustment. The amendments also remove certain provisions that previously caused the Series C Warrants to be accounted for as a liability.

ReconciliationIn 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 Net Loss per Common Share

The Company’s net income is adjustedright-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 portionCompany 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. Similarly, lessors are required to classify leases as sales-type, finance, or operating with classification affecting the pattern of income that is attributable to common stock subject to possible redemption, as these shares only participate in 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:

Basic and diluted net loss per common share $(0.05)

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. At March 31, 2018, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believesrecognition. As the Company is not exposedan emerging growth company and following private company deadlines, the Company implemented this ASU beginning on January 1, 2022. 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 significant risksassess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. 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 such account.

Fair valueEffective 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 financial instrumentsSEC 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. Upon the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2022, the Company recognized a right of use asset of approximately $7.7 million and corresponding lease liability of approximately $3.4 million. The initial recognition of the ROU asset included the reclassification of approximately $4.4 million of prepaid rent as of January 1, 2022. See Note 11 for additional disclosure regarding the Company’s right of use assets and lease liabilities.

 

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. ASU 2021-04 addresses issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. ASU 2021-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within those fiscal years, which is fiscal 2023 for us, with early adoption permitted. The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities,Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2022, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying financial statements, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Recently issued accounting standards

Management doesdid not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effectsignificant impact on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

 

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On January 30, 2018, pursuantIn August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which amends the accounting standards for convertible debt instruments that may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion. ASU No. 2020-06 eliminates requirements to separately account for liability and equity components of such convertible debt instruments and eliminates the Initial Public Offering,ability to use the treasury stock method for calculating diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments whose principal amount may be settled using shares. Instead, ASU No. 2020-06 requires (i) the entire amount of the security to be presented as a liability on the balance sheet and (ii) application of the “if-converted” method for calculating diluted earnings per share. The required use of the “if-converted” method will not impact the Company’s diluted earnings per share as long as the Company sold 12,500,000 units atis in a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stocknet loss position. The guidance in ASU No. 2020-06 is required for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2021, for public business entities. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company early adopted this guidance for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022, and one warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 (see Note 7).

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,900,000 Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,900,000. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50. The proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Private Placement Warrants.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemabledid so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. The Private Placement Warrants may also be exercised by the initial purchasers and their permitted transferees for cash or on a cashless basis. Ifmodified retrospective basis, without requiring any adjustments.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent events have been evaluated through May 10, 2022, the Private Placement Warrants are held by someonedate the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Except for as disclosed in Notes 1, 2, 4, and 12, no other than the initial purchasersevents have been identified requiring disclosure or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Amended and Restated Series C Warrants

On March 1, 2022, in connection with the amendment to the IRG Split Note (as described in Note 4), the Company amended its Series C Warrants to extend the term of the Series C Warrants to March 1, 2027. The exercise price of $1.40 per share remains unchanged, but the amendments subject the exercise price to a weighted-average antidilution adjustment. The amendments also remove certain provisions regarding fundamental transactions, which subsequently allowed the Series C Warrants to be derecognized as a liability and classified as equity.

The Company accounted for this modification as a cost of the IRG Split Note, whereby the Company calculated the incremental fair value of the Series C Warrants and recorded them as a discount against the IRG Split Note. The following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value of Series C Warrants immediately before and after modification:

On March 1, 2022, in connection with the amendment to the CH Capital Loan (as described in Note 4), the Company amended the Series D Warrants issued to CH Capital Lending to extend the term of such Series D Warrants to March 1, 2027. The exercise price of $6.90 per share remains unchanged, but the amendments subject the exercise price to a weighted-average antidilution adjustment.

The Company accounted for this modification as a cost of the CH Capital Loan, whereby the Company calculated the incremental fair value of the Series D Warrants and recorded them as a discount against the CH Capital Loan.

Johnson Controls, Inc.

On July 2, 2020, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Sponsorship and Naming Rights Agreement (the “Naming Rights Agreement”) among Newco, PFHOF and Johnson Controls, Inc. (“JCI”), that amended and restated the Sponsorship and Naming Rights Agreement, dated as of November 17, 2016 (the “Original Sponsorship Agreement”). Among other things, the Amended Sponsorship Agreement: (i) reduced the total amount of fees payable to Newco during the term of the Amended Sponsorship Agreement from $135 million to $99 million; (ii) restricted the activation proceeds from rolling over from year to year with a maximum amount of activation proceeds in one agreement year to be $750,000; and (iii) renamed the “Johnson Controls Hall of Fame Village” to “Hall of Fame Village powered by Johnson Controls”. This is a prospective change, which the Company reflected beginning in the third quarter of 2020.

JCI has a right to terminate the Naming Rights Agreement if the Company does not provide evidence to JCI by October 31, 2021 that it has secured sufficient debt and equity financing to complete Phase II, or if Phase II is not open for business by January 2, 2024, in each case subject to day-for-day extension due to force majeure and a notice and cure period. In addition, under the Naming Rights Agreement JCI’s obligation to make sponsorship payments to the Company may be suspended commencing on December 31, 2020, if the Company has not provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to JCI on or before December 31, 2020, subject to day-for-day extension due to force majeure, that the Company has secured sufficient debt and equity financing to complete Phase II.

Additionally, on October 9, 2020, Newco, entered into a Technology as a Service Agreement (the “TAAS Agreement”) with JCI. Pursuant to the TAAS Agreement, JCI will provide certain services related to the construction and development of the Hall of Fame Village powered by JCI (the “Project”), including, but not limited to, (i) design assist consulting, equipment sales and turn-key installation services in respect of specified systems to be constructed as part of Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the Project and (ii) maintenance and lifecycle services in respect of certain systems constructed as part of Phase 1, and to be constructed as part of Phase 2 and Phase 3, of the Project. Under the terms of the TAAS Agreement, Newco has agreed to pay JCI up to an aggregate of approximately $217 million for services rendered by JCI over the term of the TAAS Agreement. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately $197 million and $199 million, respectively, was remaining under the TAAS Agreement.

As of March 31, 2022, scheduled future cash to be received under the Naming Rights Agreement is as follows:

  Unrestricted  Activation  Total 
2022 (nine months) $4,000,000  $750,000  $4,750,000 
2023  4,000,000   750,000   4,750,000 
2024  4,250,000   750,000   5,000,000 
2025  4,250,000   750,000   5,000,000 
Thereafter  39,781,251   6,750,000   46,531,251 
             
Total $56,281,251  $9,750,000  $66,031,251 

As services are provided, the Company is recognizing revenue on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the Amended Sponsorship Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized $1,109,062 of net sponsorship revenue related to the Naming Rights Agreement.

The Company is in dispute with JCI for JCI’s failure to make certain payments in accordance with the Naming Rights Agreement. The Company is currently in discussions with JCI to settle this dispute. However, there can be no assurances that the amounts due will be settled in accordance with the original terms of the Naming Rights Agreement. Therefore, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company suspended its revenue recognition until the dispute is resolved and has recorded an allowance against the amounts due as of March 31, 2022 in the amount of $937,500. The balances due under the Naming Rights Agreement as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 amounted to $2,822,917 and $1,885,417, respectively.

Note 11: ROU Assets and Lease Liabilities

The Company has entered into operating leases as the lessee primarily for ground leases under its stadium, sports complex, and parking facilities. On January 1, 2022 (“Effective Date”), the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), which increases transparency and comparability by recognizing a lessee’s rights and obligations resulting from leases by recording them on the balance sheet as lease assets and lease liabilities. The new guidance requires the recognition of the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and related operating and finance lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company adopted the new guidance using the modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2022. As a result, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was not restated and is not comparative.

The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of operating ROU assets of $7,741,946 and operating lease liabilities of $3,383,807 on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2022. The initial recognition of the ROU asset included the reclassification of $4,358,139 of prepaid rent as of January 1, 2022.

The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted within the standard, which allow an entity to forgo reassessing (i) whether a contract contains a lease, (ii) classification of leases, and (iii) whether capitalized costs associated with a lease meet the definition of initial direct costs. Also, the Company elected the expedient allowing an entity to use hindsight to determine the lease term and impairment of ROU assets and the expedient to allow the Company to not have to separate lease and non-lease components. The Company has also elected the short-term lease accounting policy under which the Company would not recognize a lease liability or ROU asset for any lease that at the commencement date has a lease term of twelve months or less and does not include a purchase option that the Company is more than reasonably certain to exercise.

For contracts entered into on or after the Effective Date, at the inception of a contract the Company will assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (i) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (ii) whether the Company obtained the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (iii) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. Leases entered into prior to January 1, 2022, which were accounted for under ASC 840, were not reassessed for classification.

For operating leases, the lease liability is initially and subsequently measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments. For finance leases, the lease liability is initially measured in the same manner and date as for operating leases, and is subsequently presented at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases, unless an interest rate is implicitly stated in the lease. The present value of the lease payments is calculated using the incremental borrowing rate for operating and finance leases, which was determined using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term. The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the noncancelable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend the lease controlled by the lessor. All ROU assets are reviewed periodically for impairment.

Lease expense for operating leases consists of the lease payments plus any initial direct costs and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense for finance leases consists of the amortization of the asset on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or its useful life and interest expense determined on an amortized cost basis, with the lease payments allocated between a reduction of the lease liability and interest expense.

The Company’s operating leases are comprised primarily of ground leases and equipment leases. Balance sheet information related to our leases is present below (ASC 842 was adopted on January 1, 2022):

  March 31,  December 31, 
  2021  2020

Global License Agreement

Effective April 8, 2022, Newco and PFHOF, entered into a Global License Agreement (the “Global License Agreement”). The Global License Agreement consolidates and replaces the First Amended and Restated License Agreement, the Amended and Restated Media License Agreement, and the Branding Agreement the parties had previously entered into. The Global License Agreement sets forth the terms under which PFHOF licenses certain marks and works to Newco and its affiliates to exploit existing PFHOF works and to create new works. The Global License Agreement grants Newco and its affiliates an exclusive right and license to use the PFHOF marks in conjunction with theme-based entertainment and attractions within the City of Canton, Ohio; youth sports programs, subject to certain exclusions; e-gaming and video games; and sports betting. The Global License Agreement also grants Newco and its affiliates a non-exclusive license to use the PFHOF marks and works in other areas of use, with a right of first refusal, subject to specified exclusions. The Global License Agreement acknowledges the existence of agreements in effect between PFHOF and certain third parties that provide for certain restrictions on the rights of PFHOF, which affects the rights that can be granted to Newco and its affiliates.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1:Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at and March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Business Overview

We are 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”). Headquartered in Canton, Ohio, we own the Hall of Fame Village powered by Johnson Controls, a multi-use sports and entertainment destination centered around the PFHOF’s campus. We expect to create a diversified set of revenue streams through developing themed attractions, premier entertainment programming and sponsorships. The strategic plan has been developed in three phases of growth: Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III.

Phase I of the Hall of Fame Village powered by Johnson Controls is operational, consisting of the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, the Sports Complex, and HOF Village Media Group, LLC (“Hall of Fame Village Media” or the “Media Company”). The Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium hosts multiple sports and entertainment events, including the NFL Hall of Fame Game, Enshrinement and Concert for Legends during the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Week. The Sports Complex hosts camps and tournaments for football players, as well as athletes from across the country in other sports such as lacrosse, rugby and soccer. Hall of Fame Village Media leverages the sport of professional football to produce exclusive programming by licensing the extensive content controlled by the PFHOF as well as new programming assets developed from live events such as youth tournaments, camps and sporting events held at the Sports Complex and the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium.

We are developing new hospitality, attraction and corporate assets surrounding the Pro Football Hall of Fame Museum as part of our Phase II development plan. Phase II plans for future components of the Hall of Fame Village powered by Johnson Controls include two hotels (one on campus and one in downtown Canton that opened in November 2020), the Hall of Fame Indoor Waterpark, the Constellation Center for Excellence (an office building including retail and meeting space, that opened in October 2021), the Center for Performance (a convention center/field house), the Play Action Plaza, and the Hall of Fame Retail Promenade. We are pursuing a differentiation strategy across three pillars, including destination-based assets, the Media Company, and gaming (including the fantasy football league we acquired a majority stake in 2020 and both retail and online sports betting partnerships). Phase III expansion plans may include a potential mix of residential space, additional attractions, entertainment, dining, merchandise and more.


Key Components of the Company’s Results of Operations

Revenue

We generate revenues from various streams such as sponsorship agreements, rents, cost recoveries, events, hotel operations, Hall of Fantasy League, and through the sale of non-fungible tokens. The sponsorship arrangements, in which the customer sponsors a play area or event and receives specified brand recognition and other benefits over a set period of time, recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the time period specified in the contract. Revenue for rents, cost recoveries, and events are recognized at the time the respective event or service has been performed. Rental revenue for long term leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease beginning on the commencement date.

Our owned hotel revenues primarily consist of hotel room sales, revenue from accommodations sold in conjunction with other services (e.g., package 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.

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 Hall of Fame Village 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.

Recent Developments

Dispute Regarding Naming Rights Agreement with Johnson Controls

The Naming Rights Agreement is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2034, but provides termination rights both to (a) HOF Village Newco, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Newco”), and PFHOF, and (b) Johnson Controls, which may be exercised in the event the other party, among other things, breaches any of its covenants and agreements under the Naming Rights Agreement beyond certain notice and cure periods. 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, that we have secured sufficient debt and equity financing to complete Phase II, subject to day-for-day extension due to force majeure and a notice and cure period, (ii) Phase II is not open for business by January 2, 2024, subject to day-for-day extension due to force majeure and a notice and cure period or (iii) Newco is in default beyond applicable notice and cure periods under certain agreements, such as the Technology as a Service Agreement with Johnson Controls (the “TAAS Agreement”), among others. There can be no assurance that Phase II will be open for business by January 2, 2024. In addition, under the Naming Rights Agreement, Johnson Controls’ obligation to make sponsorship payments to Newco may be suspended if Newco has not provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to Johnson Controls on or before December 31, 2020, that Newco has secured sufficient debt and equity financing to complete Phase II, subject to day-for-day extension due to force majeure.


The Company is in dispute with Johnson Controls for Johnson Controls’ failure to make certain payments under the Naming Rights Agreement. The Company is currently in discussions with Johnson Controls to settle this dispute. However, there can be no assurances that the amounts due will be settled in accordance with the original terms of the Naming Rights Agreement. Therefore, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company suspended its revenue recognition until the dispute is resolved and has recorded an allowance against the amounts due as of March 31, 2022 in the amount of $937,500. The balances due under the Naming Rights Agreement as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 amounted to $2,822,917 and $1,885,417, respectively.

The Company anticipates this dispute will be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution section of the Naming Rights Agreement, which provides for: (1) thirty (30) days of good faith negotiation to attempt to resolve such dispute, followed by (2) referral of the dispute to an independent facilitator or mediator for non-binding mediation; and (3) if the mediation is unsuccessful within sixty (60) days of the commencement of such non-binding mediation, any party may, by notice to all other parties, then refer the dispute to binding arbitration in the State of Ohio.

In addition to the Naming Rights Agreement, Newco is party to a Technology as a Service Agreement dated October 9, 2020 with Johnson Controls (the “TAAS Agreement”). Pursuant to the TAAS Agreement, Johnson Controls will provide certain services related to the construction and development of the Hall of Fame Village powered by Johnson Controls (the “Project”).

The TAAS Agreement provides that in respect of the Naming Rights Agreement, Johnson Controls and Newco intend, acknowledge and understand that: (i) Newco’s performance under the TAAS Agreement is essential to, and a condition to Johnson Controls’ performance under, the Naming Rights Agreement and (ii) Johnson Controls’ performance under the Naming Rights Agreement is essential to, and a condition to Newco’s performance under, the TAAS Agreement. In the TAAS Agreement, Johnson Controls and Newco represent, warrant and agree that the transactions agreements and obligations contemplated under the TAAS Agreement and the Naming Rights Agreement are intended to be, and shall be, interrelated, integrated and indivisible, together being essential to consummating a single underlying transaction necessary for the Project. The Company anticipates that resolution of the dispute regarding the Naming Rights Agreement will include the TAAS Agreement.

Global License Agreement with PFHOF

Effective April 8, 2022, Newco and PFHOF entered into a Global License Agreement (the “Global License Agreement”). The Global License Agreement consolidates and replaces the First Amended and Restated License Agreement, the Amended and Restated Media License Agreement, and the Branding Agreement the parties had previously entered into. The Global License Agreement sets forth the terms under which PFHOF licenses certain marks and works to Newco and its affiliates to exploit existing PFHOF works and to create new works. The Global License Agreement grants Newco and its affiliates an exclusive right and license to use the PFHOF marks in conjunction with theme-based entertainment and attractions within the City of Canton, Ohio; youth sports programs, subject to certain exclusions; e-gaming and video games; and sports betting. The Global License Agreement also grants Newco and its affiliates a non-exclusive license to use the PFHOF marks and works in other areas of use, with a right of first refusal, subject to specified exclusions. The Global License Agreement acknowledges the existence of agreements in effect between PFHOF and certain third parties that provide for certain restrictions on the rights of PFHOF, which affects the rights that can be granted to Newco and its affiliates. These restrictions include, but are not limited to, such third parties having co-exclusive rights to exploit content based on the PFHOF enshrinement ceremonies and other enshrinement events. The Global License Agreement requires Newco to pay PFHOF an annual license fee of $900,000 in the first contract year, inclusive of calendar years 2021 and 2022; an annual license fee of $600,000 in each of contract years two through six; and an annual license fee of $750,000 per year starting in contract year seven through the end of the initial term. The Global License Agreement also provides for an additional license royalty payment by Newco to PFHOF for certain usage above specified financial thresholds, as well as a commitment to support PFHOF museum attendance through Newco’s and its affiliates’ ticket sales for certain concerts and youth sports tournaments. The Global License Agreement has an initial term through December 31, 2036, subject to automatic renewal for successive five-year terms, unless timely notice of non-renewal is provided by either party.

HOF Village CFP Loan

On April 27, 2022, Midwest Lender Fund, LLC, a limited liability company wholly owned by our director Stuart Lichter (“Lender”), loaned $4,000,000 (the “Loan”) to HOF Village Center For Performance, LLC (“HOF Village CFP”), which Loan is evidenced by a promissory note issued by HOF Village CFP to Lender (the “Note”). Interest accrues on the outstanding balance of the Note at 6.5% per annum, compounded monthly. The Note matures on April 30, 2023 or if HOF Village CFP exercises its extension option, April 30, 2024. The Note is secured by a mortgage encumbering the Center For Performance. Lender made the Loan to HOF Village CFP in accordance with a previously disclosed letter agreement, dated March 1, 2022, between Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company (the “Company”) and Stuart Lichter, which was amended April 16, 2022, and amended and assigned by Stuart Lichter to Lender April 26, 2022 (the “Letter Agreement”).


As part of the consideration for making the Loan, upon approval of stockholders of the Company in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c), the Company will issue to Lender in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”): (A) 125,000 shares (the “Commitment Fee Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and (B) a Series G warrant (the “Series G Warrants”) to purchase 125,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”). The exercise price of the Series G Warrants will be $1.50 per share. The Company is seeking such stockholder approval in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c) at its annual stockholder meeting scheduled for June 8, 2022. The Series G Warrants will become exercisable one year after issuance, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Series G Warrants. Unexercised Series G Warrants will expire five years after issuance. The exercise price of the Series G Warrants will be subject to a weighted-average antidilution adjustment.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Letter Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Note), the total cumulative number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued to Lender and its affiliates under the Letter Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents may not exceed the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) (“Nasdaq 19.99% Cap”), except that such limitation will not apply following Approval (defined below). If the number of shares of Common Stock issued to Lender and its affiliates under the Letter Agreement and the other Transaction Documents reaches the Nasdaq 19.99% Cap, so as not to violate the 20% limit established in Listing Rule 5635(d), the Company, at its election, will use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain stockholder approval of the Letter Agreement and the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock under the Letter Agreement, if necessary, in accordance with the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) (the “Approval”). The Company is seeking such stockholder approval in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) at its annual stockholder meeting scheduled for June 8, 2022.

PACE Financing

On April 28, 2022, the City of Canton, in coordination with the Canton Regional Energy Special Improvement District, approved legislation that will enable the Company to move forward with $3.2 million in Property Assessed Clean Energy (“PACE”) financing in conjunction with the implementation of various energy-efficient improvements at the Center for Performance.

Impact of COVID-19

Since 2020, the world has been 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 Hall of Fame Village Sports Complex, which also 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.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 as Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

Sponsorship Revenues

The Company’s sponsorship revenues totaled $819,290 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $1,475,436 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing a decrease of $656,146, or 44.5%. This decrease was primarily driven by the Company pausing the recognition of revenue on its JCI sponsorship agreement while a dispute with Johnson Controls is resolved. For additional information, see “Dispute Regarding Naming Rights Agreement with Johnson Controls” above.

Event, rents and cost recoveries

The Company’s revenue from event, rents and cost recoveries was $337,393 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $43,545 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, for an increase of $293,848, or 674.8%. This increase was primarily driven by the resumption of many sports and other tournaments in the Company’s sports complex, as well as the opening of the Company’s Constellation Center for Excellence.

Hotel Revenues

The Company’s hotel revenue was $949,841 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $396,338 from the three months ended March 31, 2021 for an increase of $553,503, or 139.7%. This was driven by resumption of travel and conferences that had previously been paused due to COVID-19.

Operating Expenses

The Company’s operating expense was $7,526,699 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $6,008,999 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, for an increase of $1,517,700, or 25.3%. This increase was driven by an increase in legal and professional fees of approximately $1.2 million, an increase in payroll and related costs of approximately $367,000 due to increased headcount, and an increase in insurance expense of approximately $120.000.

Hotel Operating Expenses

The Company’s hotel operating expense was $1,153,112 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $766,165 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 for an increase of $386,947, or 50.5%. This was driven by resumption of travel and conferences that had previously been paused due to COVID-19.

Commission Expense

The Company’s commission expense was $139,910 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $166,667 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, for a decrease of $26,757, or 16.1%. The decrease in commission expense is primarily driven by the decrease on commissions related to the Company’s JCI sponsorship agreement.

Depreciation Expense

The Company’s depreciation expense was $3,242,285 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $2,920,937 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, for an increase of $321,348, or 11.0%. The increase is primarily the result of additional depreciation expense incurred due to the opening of the Constellation Center for Excellence in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Interest Expense

The Company’s total interest expense was $1,213,541 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $955,308 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, for an increase of $258,233, or 27.0%. The increase in total interest expense is primarily due to the increase in the Company’s total debt outstanding, as well as a mix of higher interest rate loans.


Amortization of Debt Discount

The Company’s total amortization of debt discount was $1,355,974 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $1,234,114 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, for an increase of $121,860, or 9.9%. The increase in total amortization of debt discount is primarily due to an increase in the Company’s total debt outstanding.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

The Company’s change in fair value warrant liability represents a gain of $4,750,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to a loss of $116,351,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 due primarily to a decrease in the Company’s stock price.

(Loss) Gain on Extinguishment of Debt

The Company’s loss on extinguishment of debt was $148,472 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to a gain of $390,400 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The loss on extinguishment of debt is due to the forgiveness of the Company’s Paycheck Protection Program Loan during the first quarter of 2021 and the refinancing of many of the Company debt instruments in the first quarter of 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations through March 31, 2022. Since inception, the Company’s operations have been funded principally through the issuance of debt and equity. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $6 million of unrestricted cash and $7 million of restricted cash, respectively. A majority of the Company’s restricted cash may be released to the Company upon achieving certain occupancy and other targets sets by certain of its lender.

On March 1, 2022, the Company and ErieBank agreed to extend the MKG DoubleTree Loan in principal amount of $15,300,000 to September 13, 2023.

On March 1, 2022, the Company executed a series of transactions with Industrial Realty Group, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company controlled by the Company’s director Stuart Lichter (“IRG”) and its affiliates and JKP Financial LLC (“JKP”), whereby IRG and JKP extended certain of the Company’s debt in aggregate principal amount of $22,853,831 to March 31, 2024.

The Company believes that, as a result the Company’s demonstrated historical ability to finance and refinance debt, the transactions described above and current ongoing negotiations, it currently has sufficient cash and future financing to meet its funding requirements over the next year. 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:

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.

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 holderthese estimates under different assumptions 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.conditions.

We rely on March 30, 2018sponsorship contracts to generate revenues.

We will receive a portion of our annual revenues from 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 certain 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 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, among other things, breaches any of its covenants and agreements under the Naming Rights Agreement beyond certain notice and cure periods. 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, that we have secured sufficient debt and equity financing to complete Phase II, subject to day-for-day extension due to force majeure and a notice and cure period, (ii) Phase II is not open for business by January 2, 2024 subject to day-for-day extension due to force majeure and a notice and cure period, or (iii) HOF Village is in default beyond applicable notice and cure periods under certain agreements, such as the Technology as a Service Agreement with Johnson Controls (the “TAAS Agreement”), among others. There can be no assurance that Phase II will be open for business by January 2, 2024. In addition, under the Naming Rights Agreement Johnson Controls’ obligation to make sponsorship payments to Newco may be suspended if Newco has not provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to Johnson Controls on or before December 31, 2020, subject to day-for-day extension due to Force Majeure, that Newco has secured sufficient debt and equity financing to complete Phase II.

The Company is in dispute with Johnson Controls for Johnson Controls’ failure to make certain payments under the Naming Rights Agreement. The Company is currently in discussions with Johnson Controls to settle this dispute. However, there can be no assurances that the amounts due will be settled in accordance with the SEC, however,original terms of the Naming Rights Agreement. Therefore, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company suspended its revenue recognition until the dispute is resolved and has recorded an allowance against the amounts due as of March 31, 2022 in the amount of $937,500. The balances due under the Naming Rights Agreement as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 amounted to $2,822,917 and $1,885,417, respectively. 


The Company anticipates this dispute will be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution section of the Naming Rights Agreement, which provides for: (1) thirty (30) days of good faith negotiation to attempt to resolve such dispute; followed by (2) referral of the dispute to an independent facilitator or mediator for non-binding mediation; and (3) if the mediation is unsuccessful within sixty (60) days of the commencement of such non-binding mediation, any party may, by notice to all other parties, then refer the dispute to binding arbitration in the State of Ohio.

In addition to the Naming Rights Agreement, Newco is party to a Technology as a Service Agreement dated October 9, 2020 with Johnson Controls (the “TAAS Agreement”). Pursuant to the TAAS Agreement, Johnson Controls will provide certain services related to the construction and development of the Hall of Fame Village powered by Johnson Controls (the “Project”), including, but not limited to, (i) design assist consulting, equipment sales and turn-key installation services in respect of specified systems to be constructed as part of Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the Project and (ii) maintenance and lifecycle services in respect of certain systems constructed as part of Phase 1, and to be constructed as part of Phase 2 and Phase 3, of the Project. Under the terms of the TAAS Agreement, Newco has agreed to pay Johnson Controls up to an aggregate of approximately $217 million for services rendered by Johnson Controls over the term of the TAAS Agreement. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately $197 million and $199 million, respectively, was remaining under the TAAS Agreement.

The TAAS Agreement provides that in respect of the Naming Rights Agreement, Johnson Controls and Newco intend, acknowledge and understand that: (i) Newco’s performance under the TAAS Agreement is essential to, and a condition to Johnson Controls’ performance under, the Naming Rights Agreement and (ii) Johnson Controls’ performance under the Naming Rights Agreement is essential to, and a condition to Newco’s performance under, the TAAS Agreement. In the TAAS Agreement, Johnson Controls and Newco represent, warrant and agree that the transactions agreements and obligations contemplated under the TAAS Agreement and the Naming Rights Agreement are intended to be, and shall be, interrelated, integrated and indivisible, together being essential to consummating a single underlying transaction necessary for the Project. The Company anticipates that resolution of the dispute regarding the Naming Right Agreement will include the TAAS Agreement.

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. 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 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 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.

Our Common Stock may be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market if we cannot satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements or we may disclose changesbe required to such factorsconduct a reverse stock split to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Among the conditions required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq requires us to maintain at least $35 million market value of listed securities or disclose additional factorsat least $500,000 in net income over the prior two years or two of the prior three years, and to maintain a stock price over $1.00 per share. We may not maintain a minimum $35 million market value of listed securities, we may not generate over $500,000 of yearly net income moving forward, and we may not be able to maintain a stock price over $1.00 per share. If we fail to timely comply with the applicable requirements, our stock may be delisted. In addition, even if we demonstrate compliance with the requirements above, we will have to continue to meet other objective and subjective listing requirements to continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Delisting from timethe Nasdaq Capital Market could make trading our Common Stock more difficult for investors, potentially leading to timedeclines in our future filingsshare price and liquidity. Without a Nasdaq Capital Market listing, stockholders may have a difficult time getting a quote for the sale or purchase of our stock, the sale or purchase of our stock would likely be made more difficult, and the trading volume and liquidity of our stock could decline. Delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market could also result in negative publicity and could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital. The absence of such a listing may adversely affect the acceptance of our Common Stock as currency or the value accorded by other parties. Further, if we are delisted, we would also incur additional costs under state blue sky laws in connection with any sales of our securities. These requirements could severely limit the SEC.market liquidity of our Common Stock and the ability of our stockholders to sell our Common Stock in the secondary market. If our Common Stock is delisted by Nasdaq, our Common Stock may be eligible to trade on an over-the-counter quotation system, such as the OTCQB market, where an investor may find it more difficult to sell our stock or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our Common Stock. In the event our Common Stock is delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, we may not be able to list our Common Stock on another national securities exchange or obtain quotation on an over-the counter quotation system.

A failure to meet the continued listing requirement for minimum bid price (i.e., at least $1 per share) shall be determined to exist only if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Upon such failure, the Company shall be notified promptly by Nasdaq and shall have a period of 180 calendar days from such notification to achieve compliance. Compliance can be achieved during a compliance period by meeting the applicable standard for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the compliance period. If Nasdaq notifies the company that it is not in compliance with $1 per share minimum bid requirement, Nasdaq will expect the Company to explain how it will regain compliance, such as by conducting a reverse stock split that results in the stock price exceeding the $1 per share minimum bid price. The Company’s Common Stock closing price on Nasdaq has been below $1 per share since April 11, 2022.


Our Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of such warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.

On April 12, 2021, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued a statement (the “SEC Statement”) regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies. Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those governing our Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants. As a result of the SEC Statement, we reevaluated the accounting treatment of such warrants, and determined to classify such warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings.

As a result, included on our balance sheets as of March 31, 2022 and 2021 contained elsewhere in this report are derivative liabilities related to embedded features contained within our Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants. ASC Subtopic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, provides for the remeasurement of the fair value of such derivatives at each balance sheet date, with a resulting non-cash gain or loss related to the change in the fair value being recognized in earnings in the statement of operations. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, our financial statements and results of operations may fluctuate quarterly, based on factors which are outside of our control. Due to the recurring fair value measurement, we expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses on our Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could be material.

On March 1, 2022, the Company and CH Capital Lending amended the Series C Warrants. The Amended and Restated Series C Warrants extend the term of the Series C Warrants to March 1, 2027. The exercise price of $1.40 per share was not modified, but the amendments subject the exercise price to a weighted-average antidilution adjustment. The amendments also remove certain provisions that previously caused the Series C Warrants to be accounted for as a liability.
