Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1: Organization, Nature of Business, and Liquidity
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. (“GPAQ”), a special purpose acquisition company.
On July 1, 2020, the Company consummated a business combination with HOF 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”). Headquartered in Canton, Ohio, the Company owns the DoubleTree by Hilton located in downtown Canton and the Hall of Fame Village, which is a multi-use sports, entertainment, and media destination centered around the PFHOF’s campus. The Company is pursuing a differentiation strategy across three business verticals, including destination-based assets, HOF Village Media Group, LLC (“Hall of Fame Village Media”), and gaming (“Gold Summit Gaming”).
The Company has entered into multiple agreements with PFHOF, 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 sits, portions of which are owned by the Company and portions of which are net leased to the Company by government and quasi-governmental entities (see Note 9 for additional information). Under these agreements, the PFHOF and the lessor entities are entitled to use portions of the Hall of Fame Village on a direct-cost basis.

Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company has sustained recurring losses through
June 30, 2024 and the Company’s accumulated deficit was $
The Company expects that it will need to raise additional financing to accomplish its development plan and fund its working capital. 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, or it may not be able to continue to fund its ongoing operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern to meet its obligations as they come due for at least one year from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Rule 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP. However, in the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results have been included in these statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed on March 25, 2024. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2024.
Consolidation
The 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 considerable influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method. All intercompany profits, transactions, and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company owns a
Reclassification
Certain financial statement line items of the Company’s historical presentation have been reclassified to conform to the corresponding financial statement line items. These reclassifications have no material impact on the historical operating loss, net loss, total assets, total liabilities, or stockholders’ equity previously reported.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use of Estimates
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 credit losses, depreciation, costs capitalized to project development costs, useful lives of long-lived assets, impairment, 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, par value $
Cash and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company maintains 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 as of June 30,
2024 and December 31, 2023 were $

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Investments
The Company from time to time invests in debt and equity securities, including companies engaged in complementary businesses. All marketable equity and debt securities held by the Company are accounted for under “Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)” Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.” The Company recognizes interest income on these securities ratably over their term utilizing the interest method.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the
Company also had $
Equity Method Investments
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which the Company exerts significant influence but does not control or otherwise consolidate are accounted for using the equity method. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost. These investments are included in equity method investment in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s share of the profits and losses from these investments is reported in “Loss from equity method investment” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company monitors its investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors such as current economic and market conditions and the operating performance of the investees and records reductions in carrying values when necessary.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are generally amounts due under sponsorship and other agreements and are recorded at the invoiced amount. Accounts receivable are reviewed for delinquencies on a case-by-case basis and are considered delinquent when the sponsor or customer has missed a scheduled payment. Interest is not charged on delinquencies.
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, of the balance that will not be collected. The Company reviews its Accounts Receivable on a case-by-case basis and writes off any
accounts receivable for which collection efforts have been exhausted. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has recorded
an allowance for credit losses of $
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized to additions in project development costs during the construction period over the term of the related loans, without regard for any extension options until the project or portion thereof is considered substantially complete. Upon substantial completion of the project or portion thereof, such costs are amortized as interest expense utilizing the interest method over the term of the related loan. Any unamortized costs are shown as an offset to “Notes Payable, net” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue with Contracts with Customers, to properly recognize revenue. 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 as sponsorship agreements, rents, food & beverage, events (including admissions, concessions and parking), and hotel and restaurant operations. 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. The excess of amounts contractually due over the amounts of sponsorship revenue recognized are included in other liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contractually due but unpaid sponsorship revenue are included in accounts receivable on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 6 for more details. Revenue for short-term rentals 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.
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 Company’s performance, including amounts which are refundable, recognition of revenue is deferred until the performance obligation is satisfied or amounts are no longer refundable.
The Company’s 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. 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 price of each component.
Restaurant revenue at Company-operated restaurants is recognized when payment is tendered at the point of sale, net of sales tax, discounts and other sales related taxes.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The provision for income taxes is based upon income or loss after adjustment for those permanent items that are not considered in the determination of taxable income. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.
Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions
that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount
of benefit that is greater than
The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with tax audits is to record such items as a component of operating expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no amounts incurred for penalties and interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company does not expect its uncertain tax position to change during the next twelve months. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position. The Company’s effective tax rates of zero differ from the statutory rate for the years presented primarily due to the Company’s net operating loss, which was fully reserved for all years presented.
The Company has identified its United States tax return and its state tax return in Ohio as its “major” tax jurisdictions, and such returns for the years 2020 through 2023 remain subject to examination.

Film and Media Costs
The Company capitalizes all costs to develop films
and related media as an asset, included in “project development costs” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance
sheets. The costs for each film or media will be expensed over the expected release period. During the six months ended June 30, 2024
and 2023, the Company recorded $
Fair Value Measurement
The Company follows FASB’s ASC 820–10, Fair Value Measurement, to measure the fair value of its financial instruments and non-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.
The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820–10-20 are described below:
| Level 1 |
Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
| Level 2 |
Pricing 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 3 | Pricing 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, accounts receivable, 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 carrying amount of the Company’s notes payable are considered to approximate their fair value based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities.

Fair Value Measurement (continued)
The Company uses the fair value hierarchy to measure the fair value of its warrant liabilities, investments available for sale and interest rate swap. The Company revalues its financial instruments at every reporting period. The Company recognizes gains or losses on the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities as “change in fair value of warrant liability” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognizes gains or losses on the change in fair value of the investments available for sale as “change in fair value of investments available for sale” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognizes gains or losses on the change in fair value of the interest rate swap as “change in fair value of interest rate swap” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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”) and the Series B Warrants issued in the Company’s November 2020 follow-on public offering, 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 appropriately.

Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods.
Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net 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, and (iii) conversion of preferred stock, are only included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share when their effect is dilutive.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company was in a loss position and therefore all potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive.

On November 2, 2022, the Company secured conditional approval from the state for mobile and retail sports betting. The Ohio Casino Control Commission provided the required authorization for HOFV to gain licensing for a physical sports betting operation – called a sportsbook – as well as an online sports betting platform, under Ohio’s sports betting law H.B.29. As of January 1, 2023, sports betting is legal in Ohio for anyone in the state that is of legal betting age. The conditional approval required that the Company accept bets under both the mobile and retail sports books prior to December 31, 2023. The Company satisfied that condition for the mobile sports book. However, the Company does not currently have a sports betting partner for its retail sports book. In November 2023, Ohio granted an extension to June 30, 2024 for all retail license holders.
In May of 2024, the Ohio Casino Control Commission approved a waiver giving the Executive Director the immediate ability and discretion to extend the “use it or lose it” compliance period for all licensed Type B sports gaming proprietors and service providers. With the approval of this waiver and the proposed corresponding rule change, all licensees will be given the full length of their initial licensure period for compliance. The Company now has until December 31, 2027, to accept at least one retail sports bet under its Type B license. If at least one sports bet is not taken through an approved method before this date, the Company will not be eligible to apply for another license for a period of one year after the expiration of the license.

Note 11: Leases
The Company has entered into operating leases as the lessee primarily for ground leases under its stadium, sports complex, parking facilities and equipment leases.
At the inception of a contract the Company assesses 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 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 right-of-use (“ROU”) lease 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 presence of a finance-type lease in the sale-leaseback transactions indicates that control of the land under the Fan Engagement Zone and HOFV Waterpark has not transferred to the buyer/lessor and, as such, the transactions were both deemed a failed sale-leaseback and must be accounted for as a financing arrangement. As a result of this determination, the Company is viewed as having received the sales proceeds from the buyer/lessor in the form of a hypothetical loan collateralized by its leased land. The hypothetical loan is payable as principal and interest in the form of “lease payments” to the buyer/lessor. As such, the Company will not derecognize the property from its books for accounting purposes until the lease ends.

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, which is a multi-use sports and entertainment destination centered around the PFHOF’s campus and the DoubleTree by Hilton located in downtown Canton. We have created a diversified set of revenue streams through the development of themed attractions, premier entertainment programming and sponsorships. We continue to pursue a diversified strategy across three business verticals, including destination-based assets, Hall of Fame Village Media and Gold Summit Gaming.
The strategic plan for Hall of Fame Village involves three phases: Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III. Phase I of the Hall of Fame Village is operational, consisting of the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, the ForeverLawn Sports Complex (ownership reduced to 20% as of January 11, 2024), and Hall of Fame Village Media and Gold Summit Gaming. The Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium hosts multiple sports and entertainment events, including the National Football League (“NFL”) Hall of Fame Game, Enshrinement and Concert for Legends during the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Week. The ForeverLawn 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. Hall of Fame Village Media has created short-form and long-form media entertainment through multiple distribution channels. This includes The Perfect Ten, Inspired, The GOAT Code, and Next Man Up: NFL Alumni Academy.
Gold Summit Gaming has procured licenses through the State of Ohio for both a physical sports betting operation and online sports betting platform. We have entered into an agreement with BETR as our mobile management services provider. In addition, the gaming vertical hosts multiple eSports tournaments within the destination along with other types of gaming tournaments and interactive events.
We have developed new hospitality, attractions, and corporate assets as part of our Phase II development plan. Phase II components of the Hall of Fame Village include the Constellation Center for Excellence (an office building including retail and meeting space, that opened in November 2021), the Center for Performance (a convention center/field house, that opened in August of 2022), the Play Action Plaza (completed in August of 2022), and the Fan Engagement Zone (Retail Promenade), core and shell for Retail I was completed in August of 2022 and the core and shell of Retail II was completed in November of 2022, two hotels (one on campus, to be constructed, and one in downtown Canton that opened in November 2020), and the Gameday Bay Waterpark (currently under construction). 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 revenue from various streams such as sponsorship agreements, rents, events, exclusive programming, attractions and hotel and restaurant operations. The sponsorship arrangements, in which the customer sponsors an asset 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 property and events. 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.
Restaurant revenue at Company-operated restaurants is recognized when payment is tendered at the point of sale, net of sales tax, discounts and other sales related taxes.
Our media content and distribution revenue is recognized as content is released. And our gaming license revenue is recognized over the term of the license agreement.
We expect our revenues to continue to increase as we add in additional events and open our Gameday Bay Waterpark (under construction) and Hilton Tapestry Hotel (to be constructed).
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses include production expenses, personnel expenses, campus maintenance expenses, food and beverage cost of sales, hotel operating expenses, and depreciation expense. These expenses have increased with completion of Phase II assets and we would expect these will continue to increase after completion of the on-campus hotel, waterpark, and Phase III development.
Our operating expenses include the costs associated with running and maintaining operational entertainment and destination assets such as the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, Constellation Center for Excellence, Center for Performance and Play Action Plaza along with management and professional fees. Factors that will contribute to increased operating expenses include: more of our Phase II assets becoming operational, the addition of events for top performers, and sporting events.
Our depreciation expense includes the related costs of owning and operating significant property and entertainment assets. These expenses have grown through completion of the Phase I and Phase II development.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have sustained recurring losses through June 30, 2024, and our accumulated deficit was $247.3 million as of such date. Since inception, the Company's operations have been funded principally through the issuance of debt and equity. As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $1.5 million of unrestricted cash and $5.0 million of restricted cash. Through August 14, 2025, we have $99.9 million in debt principal payments coming due. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company used cash for operating activities of $5.3 million.
On June 28, 2024 we were awarded a $9.8 Million grant from the State of Ohio’s One Time Strategic Community Investments in support of the development of the Hall of Fame Village. We received this funding on August 9, 2024.
We expect that we will need to raise additional financing to accomplish our development plan and fund our working capital. We are seeking to obtain additional funding through debt, construction lending, and equity financing. There are no assurances that we 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 we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned development, which could harm our financial condition and operating results, or we may not be able to continue to fund our ongoing operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern to sustain operations for at least one year from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 as Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $14.4 million from the same period in the prior year. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to a $2.6 million decrease in net loss between the two periods, along with a $2.4 million increase in the add-back for depreciation expense, a $4.0 million increase in paid-in-kind interest, a $3.5 million increase in the change in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and a $2.0 million increase in the change in due to affiliate.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $3.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $10.7 million from the same period last year. The decrease was attributable to $5.2 million invested in treasury bills during the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $7.8 million in capital spending on project development, offset by an increase $8.1 million received from the sale of assets.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $13.8 million from the same period last year.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2024.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
For information on our significant accounting policies please refer to Note 2 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and we are required to apply our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of our disclosure controls and procedures.
In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, we concluded there was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the precise and timely review and analysis of information used to prepare our financial statements and disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have taken steps to remediate this material weakness in internal control over financial reporting; however, we are not yet able to determine whether the steps we are taking will fully remediate the material weakness.
Because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as previously disclosed, our principal executive officer and interim principal accounting officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level. Our management, including our principal executive officer and interim principal accounting officer, have concluded that, notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company continues to implement its plan of remediation for the material weakness discussed above. There have been no other changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal proceedings
During the normal course of its business, the Company is subject to occasional legal proceedings and claims. The Company does not have any pending litigation that, separately or in the aggregate, would, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk factors
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as supplemented by Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our common and capital stock. There have been no material changes to our risk factors since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as supplemented by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, other than:
Our business plan requires additional liquidity and capital resources that might not be available on terms that are favorable to us, or at all.
We have sustained recurring losses through June 30, 2024, and our accumulated deficit was $247.3 million as of such date. Since inception, our operations have been funded principally through the issuance of debt and equity. As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $1.5 million of unrestricted cash and $5.0 million of restricted cash. Through August 14, 2025, we have $99.9 million in debt principal payments coming due. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company used cash for operating activities of $5.3 million.
While our strategy assumes that we will receive sufficient capital to have sufficient working capital, we currently do not have available cash and cash flows from operations to provide us with adequate liquidity for the near-term or foreseeable future. Our current projected liabilities exceed our current cash projections and we have very limited cash flow from current operations. We therefore will require additional capital and/or cash flow from future operations to fund the Company, our debt service obligations and our ongoing business. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient additional capital or generate sufficient future cash flow from our future operations to fund the Hall of Fame Village, our debt service obligations or our ongoing business. If the amount of capital we are able to raise, together with any income from future operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our liquidity and capital needs, including funding our current debt obligations, we may be required to abandon or alter our plans for the Company. The Company may have to raise additional capital through the equity market, which could result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders. If management is unable to execute its planned debt and equity financing initiatives, these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue to sustain operations for at least one year from the issuance of our condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Our ability to obtain necessary financing may be impaired by factors such as the health of and access to capital markets, our limited track record and the limited historical financial information available, or the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Any additional capital raised through the sale of additional shares of our capital stock, convertible debt or other equity may dilute the ownership percentage of our stockholders.

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.

On July 1, 2020, the Company consummated a business combination with HOF 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”). Headquartered in Canton, Ohio, the Company owns the DoubleTree by Hilton located in downtown Canton and the Hall of Fame Village, which is a multi-use sports, entertainment, and media destination centered around the PFHOF’s campus. The Company is pursuing a differentiation strategy across three business verticals, including destination-based assets, HOF Village Media Group, LLC (“Hall of Fame Village Media”), and gaming (“Gold Summit Gaming”).
The Company has entered into multiple agreements with PFHOF, 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 sits, portions of which are owned by the Company and portions of which are net leased to the Company by government and quasi-governmental entities (see Note 9 for additional information). Under these agreements, the PFHOF and the lessor entities are entitled to use portions of the Hall of Fame Village on a direct-cost basis.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company has sustained recurring losses through June 30, 2024 and the Company’s accumulated deficit was $247.3 million as of such date. Since inception, the Company’s operations have been funded principally through the issuance of debt and equity. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $1.5 million of unrestricted cash and $5.0 million of restricted cash. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company used cash for operating activities of $5.3 million. The Company has approximately $99.9 million of debt coming due through August 14, 2025.
The Company expects that it will need to raise additional financing to accomplish its development plan and fund its working capital. 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, or it may not be able to continue to fund its ongoing operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern to meet its obligations as they come due for at least one year from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. |

| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Rule 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP. However, in the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results have been included in these statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed on March 25, 2024. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2024.
Consolidation
The 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 considerable influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for 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 portion of Mountaineer’s net income (loss) that is not attributable to the Company is included in non-controlling interest.
Reclassification
Certain financial statement line items of the Company’s historical presentation have been reclassified to conform to the corresponding financial statement line items. These reclassifications have no material impact on the historical operating loss, net loss, total assets, total liabilities, or stockholders’ equity previously reported.
Use of Estimates
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 credit losses, depreciation, costs capitalized to project development costs, useful lives of long-lived assets, impairment, 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, par value $0.0001 per share (“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 statements 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.
Cash and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company maintains 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 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $4,988,158 and $8,572,730, respectively.
Investments
The Company from time to time invests in debt and equity securities, including companies engaged in complementary businesses. All marketable equity and debt securities held by the Company are accounted for under “Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)” Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.” The Company recognizes interest income on these securities ratably over their term utilizing the interest method.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company also had $2,000,000 and $2,000,000, respectively in investments available for sale, which are marked to market value at each reporting period.
Equity Method Investments
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which the Company exerts significant influence but does not control or otherwise consolidate are accounted for using the equity method. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost. These investments are included in equity method investment in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s share of the profits and losses from these investments is reported in “Loss from equity method investment” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company monitors its investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors such as current economic and market conditions and the operating performance of the investees and records reductions in carrying values when necessary.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are generally amounts due under sponsorship and other agreements and are recorded at the invoiced amount. Accounts receivable are reviewed for delinquencies on a case-by-case basis and are considered delinquent when the sponsor or customer has missed a scheduled payment. Interest is not charged on delinquencies.
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, of the balance that will not be collected. The Company reviews its Accounts Receivable on a case-by-case basis and writes off any accounts receivable for which collection efforts have been exhausted. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has recorded an allowance for credit losses of $330,332 and $243,081, respectively.
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized to additions in project development costs during the construction period over the term of the related loans, without regard for any extension options until the project or portion thereof is considered substantially complete. Upon substantial completion of the project or portion thereof, such costs are amortized as interest expense utilizing the interest method over the term of the related loan. Any unamortized costs are shown as an offset to “Notes Payable, net” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue with Contracts with Customers, to properly recognize revenue. 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 as sponsorship agreements, rents, food & beverage, events (including admissions, concessions and parking), and hotel and restaurant operations. 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. The excess of amounts contractually due over the amounts of sponsorship revenue recognized are included in other liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contractually due but unpaid sponsorship revenue are included in accounts receivable on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 6 for more details. Revenue for short-term rentals 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.
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 Company’s performance, including amounts which are refundable, recognition of revenue is deferred until the performance obligation is satisfied or amounts are no longer refundable.
The Company’s 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. 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 price of each component.
Restaurant revenue at Company-operated restaurants is recognized when payment is tendered at the point of sale, net of sales tax, discounts and other sales related taxes.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The provision for income taxes is based upon income or loss after adjustment for those permanent items that are not considered in the determination of taxable income. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.
Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported.
The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with tax audits is to record such items as a component of operating expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no amounts incurred for penalties and interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company does not expect its uncertain tax position to change during the next twelve months. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position. The Company’s effective tax rates of zero differ from the statutory rate for the years presented primarily due to the Company’s net operating loss, which was fully reserved for all years presented.
The Company has identified its United States tax return and its state tax return in Ohio as its “major” tax jurisdictions, and such returns for the years 2020 through 2023 remain subject to examination.
Film and Media Costs
The Company capitalizes all costs to develop films and related media as an asset, included in “project development costs” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The costs for each film or media will be expensed over the expected release period. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $0 and $1,305,000 in film and media costs, respectively, including an impairment charge of $0 and $1,145,000, respectively. The impairment in film and media costs is included in “Impairment expense” on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company follows FASB’s ASC 820–10, Fair Value Measurement, to measure the fair value of its financial instruments and non-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.
The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820–10-20 are described below:
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, accounts receivable, 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 carrying amount of the Company’s notes payable are considered to approximate their fair value based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities.
The Company uses the fair value hierarchy to measure the fair value of its warrant liabilities, investments available for sale and interest rate swap. The Company revalues its financial instruments at every reporting period. The Company recognizes gains or losses on the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities as “change in fair value of warrant liability” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognizes gains or losses on the change in fair value of the investments available for sale as “change in fair value of investments available for sale” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognizes gains or losses on the change in fair value of the interest rate swap as “change in fair value of interest rate swap” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The following table provides the financial liabilities measured on a recurring basis and reported at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
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”) and the Series B Warrants issued in the Company’s November 2020 follow-on public offering, 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 appropriately.
Subsequent measurement
The following table presents the changes in fair value of the warrant liabilities:
The key inputs into the Black Scholes valuation model for the Level 3 valuations as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:
The valuation of the investments available for sale was based on an option pricing model using market rate assumptions. The interest rate swap was terminated in 2023.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods.
Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net 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, and (iii) conversion of preferred stock, are only included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share when their effect is dilutive.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company was in a loss position and therefore all potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive.
As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the following outstanding common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per share because their impact would be anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting, to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes, requiring more granular disclosure of the components of income taxes. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |

The amounts above were included in “accounts payable and accrued expenses” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
City of Canton Loan
On June 5, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the City of Canton Loan. Pursuant to the amendment, which modifies the original instrument dated December 30, 2019, the parties agreed: (i) to modify the original maturity date from July 1, 2027 to July 1, 2046; and (ii) amend the repayment dates as follows (a) no interest shall accrue for two years, from May 28, 2024 through June 30, 2026, (b) commencing on July 1, 2026, the outstanding principal balance will bear interest at the increased rate of 5% per annum, and (c) commencing on October 1, 2026 and continuing quarterly thereafter on the first day of January, April, July and October of each year thereafter, the Company shall pay quarterly principal and interest payments until the maturity date when all other amounts due and owing to Lender will be due.
This loan modification was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt with a new debt issuance. The Company recognized a loss of $3,763 during the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing the difference between the fair value of the modified instrument and the carrying value of the existing instrument.
New Market/Stark Community Foundation (“SCF”) Loan
On June 25, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to New Markert/SCF loan agreement.

This loan modification was considered a troubled debt restructuring, and all modifications were recognized prospectively as of the date of modification and no gain or loss was recognized.
CH Capital Term Loan

Hotel Construction Loan Commitment Letter
On November 3, 2022, the Company entered into a Commitment Letter (the “Hotel Construction Loan Commitment Letter”), by and among the Company, as guarantor, HOF Village Hotel WP, LLC (“Hotel”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, as borrower, and Industrial Realty Group, Inc. (“IRGInc”), as lender. Stuart Lichter, a director of the Company, is President and Chairman of the Board of Industrial Realty Group, LLC (“IRGLLC”). Pursuant to the terms of the Hotel Construction Loan Commitment Letter, IRGInc committed to provide, or to arrange for one of IRGInc’s affiliates to provide, a loan of $28,000,000 (the “Hotel Construction Loan”) to finance a portion of Hotel’s costs and expenses in connection with the ground-up development of a 180-room family hotel (the “Hotel Project”) on approximately 1.64 acres of land located in the Hall of Fame Village, Canton, Ohio (the “Hotel Property”), adjacent to the Waterpark Property. The commitment to provide the Hotel Construction Loan was subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the execution and delivery of definitive documentation with respect to the Hotel Construction Loan. The Company and IRGInc did not reach agreement on definitive documentation by the target closing date set forth in the Hotel Construction Loan Commitment Letter. IRGInc. has since informed the Company that it does not intend to provide the Hotel Construction Loan directly through IRGInc. or one of its affiliates; however, IRGInc. and Mr. Lichter have continued to play an active role in supporting the Company’s efforts to secure an alternative source for a different loan facility for a comparable loan amount.

The Company agreed to modify the Series C through Series G warrants held by IRG Affiliate Lenders as follows: (i) the exercise price of the Series C through Series G warrants held by IRG Affiliate Lenders will be reset to Market Price; and (ii) the warrant expiration dates of the Series C through Series G warrants held by IRG Affiliate Lenders will be extended by two years from their current expiration dates.
In the IRG Letter Agreement, IRGLLC and the Company agreed to comply with all federal and state securities laws and Nasdaq listing rules and to insert “blocker” provisions for the above-described re-pricing of the warrants and the conversion provisions, such that the total cumulative number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued to IRGLLC and its affiliated and related parties pursuant to the IRG Letter Agreement may not exceed the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) (“Nasdaq 19.99% Cap”), except that such limitation will not apply following approval of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, the provisions of the IRG Letter Agreement are limited by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c).

| Leases | Note 11: Leases
The Company has entered into operating leases as the lessee primarily for ground leases under its stadium, sports complex, parking facilities and equipment leases.
At the inception of a contract the Company assesses 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 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 right-of-use (“ROU”) lease 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.

| Financing Liability | Note 12: Financing Liability
On September 27, 2022 the Company sold the land under the Company’s Fan Engagement Zone to Twain GL XXXVI, LLC (“Twain”). Simultaneously, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Twain (the sale of the property and simultaneous leaseback is referred to as the “Sale-Leaseback”). The Sale-Leaseback is repayable over a 99-year term. Under the terms of the lease agreement, the Company’s initial base rent is approximately $307,125 per quarter, with annual increases of approximately 2% each year of the term. The Company has a right to re-purchase the land from Twain at any time on or after September 27, 2025 at a fixed price according to the lease.
On November 7, 2022, HOFV Waterpark sold the land under the Company’s future waterpark to Oak Street Real Estate Capital, LLC (“Oak Street”). Simultaneously, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Oak Street. The Sale-Leaseback for the waterpark is repayable over a 99-year term. Under the terms of the leaseback agreement, the Company’s initial base rent is $4,375,000 per annum, payable monthly, with customary escalations over the lease term. On November 7, 2022, Oak Street and HOFV Waterpark also entered into a Purchase Option Agreement (the “Purchase Option Agreement”), pursuant to which HOFV Waterpark is granted an option to purchase the waterpark property back from Oak Street that can be exercised during the period beginning on December 1, 2027 and ending on November 30, 2034 (the “Option Period”).
The Company accounted for the Sale-Leaseback transactions with Twain and Oak Street as financing transactions with the purchaser of the property. The Company concluded the lease agreements both met the qualifications to be classified as finance leases due to the significance of the present value of the lease payments, using a discount rate of 10.25% to reflect the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, compared to the fair value of the leased property as of the lease commencement date.
The presence of a finance-type lease in the sale-leaseback transactions indicates that control of the land under the Fan Engagement Zone and HOFV Waterpark has not transferred to the buyer/lessor and, as such, the transactions were both deemed a failed sale-leaseback and must be accounted for as a financing arrangement. As a result of this determination, the Company is viewed as having received the sales proceeds from the buyer/lessor in the form of a hypothetical loan collateralized by its leased land. The hypothetical loan is payable as principal and interest in the form of “lease payments” to the buyer/lessor. As such, the Company will not derecognize the property from its books for accounting purposes until the lease ends.
On February 23, 2024, HOFV Waterpark entered into a first amendment to lease agreement (“First Amendment to Lease”) with Oak Street to amend the existing water park ground lease to reflect: (a) Oak Street’s funding for the benefit of the Tenant in the amount of $2,500,000, (b) an increase in the base rent; (c) the pledge of the Company’s 20% beneficial membership interest in Sandlot; and (d) the Company’s issuance of a Series H Common Stock Purchase Warrant to Oak Street to purchase 890,313 shares of the Company’s common stock, which is exercisable (a) prior to Landlord’s return of 90% of such warrants pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment to Lease, when and if there is an event of default under the water park lease, or the guaranty related to the underlying ground lease, or (b) after Landlord’s return of 90% of such warrants pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment to Lease, at any time.
On February 29, 2024, HOFV Waterpark, HOF Village Newco, LLC, as guarantor and pledgor, and HOF Village Stadium, LLC, as mortgagor, entered into a second amendment (the "Second Amendment") to the ground lease agreement for the waterpark with Oak Street, to memorialize, among other things, Landlord's forbearance of base rent due for March and April of 2024, with such payments extended to be due on May 1, 2024. Under the Second Amendment, there is no notice or cure period for the rent payment due on May 1, 2024. On May 10, 2024, the parties entered into a third amendment to the lease agreement, to remove a sentence, effective May 1, 2024, that provided there shall be no notice or cure period for deferred rent due on May 1, 2024. HOFV Waterpark has not paid the deferred base rent of $1,197,907 due May 1, 2024, which upon written notice from the Landlord, and after HOFV Waterpark's failure to cure within three days, would be an event of default under the waterpark ground lease and would give Oak Street the option to, among other things, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, accelerate and recover all remaining payments owed under the waterpark ground lease. The Company is in negotiations with Oak Street and believes that it will be able to negotiate an amendment that provides for extending the base rent forbearance payment date under the waterpark ground lease or a similar outcome. However, until such time that an amendment is executed, the Company can provide no assurance that it will be successful in these efforts.
As of June 30, 2024, the carrying value of the financing liability was $67,758,996, representing $2,324,731,722 in remaining payments under the leases, net of a discount of $2,256,972,726. The lease payments are split between a reduction of principal and interest expense using the effective interest rate method.
As of June 30, 2023, the carrying value of the financing liability was $61,299,829, representing $2,201,892,776 in remaining payments under the leases, net of a discount of $2,140,592,947. The monthly lease payments are split between a reduction of principal and interest expense using the effective interest rate method.
Remaining future cash payments related to the financing liability, for the years ending December 31 are as follows:

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP. However, in the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results have been included in these statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed on March 25, 2024.

| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates 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 credit losses, depreciation, costs capitalized to project development costs, useful lives of long-lived assets, impairment, 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. |

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 statements 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. |

| Cash and Restricted Cash | Cash and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company maintains 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 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $4,988,158 and $8,572,730, respectively.

| Investments | Investments The Company from time to time invests in debt and equity securities, including companies engaged in complementary businesses. All marketable equity and debt securities held by the Company are accounted for under “Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)” Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.” The Company recognizes interest income on these securities ratably over their term utilizing the interest method. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company also had $2,000,000 and $2,000,000, respectively in investments available for sale, which are marked to market value at each reporting period. |

| Equity Method Investments | Equity Method Investments Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which the Company exerts significant influence but does not control or otherwise consolidate are accounted for using the equity method. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost. These investments are included in equity method investment in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s share of the profits and losses from these investments is reported in “Loss from equity method investment” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company monitors its investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors such as current economic and market conditions and the operating performance of the investees and records reductions in carrying values when necessary. |

| Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are generally amounts due under sponsorship and other agreements and are recorded at the invoiced amount. Accounts receivable are reviewed for delinquencies on a case-by-case basis and are considered delinquent when the sponsor or customer has missed a scheduled payment. Interest is not charged on delinquencies. 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, of the balance that will not be collected. The Company reviews its Accounts Receivable on a case-by-case basis and writes off any accounts receivable for which collection efforts have been exhausted. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has recorded an allowance for credit losses of $330,332 and $243,081, respectively. |

| Deferred Financing Costs | Deferred Financing Costs Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized to additions in project development costs during the construction period over the term of the related loans, without regard for any extension options until the project or portion thereof is considered substantially complete. Upon substantial completion of the project or portion thereof, such costs are amortized as interest expense utilizing the interest method over the term of the related loan. Any unamortized costs are shown as an offset to “Notes Payable, net” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue with Contracts with Customers, to properly recognize revenue. 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 as sponsorship agreements, rents, food & beverage, events (including admissions, concessions and parking), and hotel and restaurant operations. 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. The excess of amounts contractually due over the amounts of sponsorship revenue recognized are included in other liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contractually due but unpaid sponsorship revenue are included in accounts receivable on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 6 for more details. Revenue for short-term rentals 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. 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 Company’s performance, including amounts which are refundable, recognition of revenue is deferred until the performance obligation is satisfied or amounts are no longer refundable. The Company’s 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. 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 price of each component. Restaurant revenue at Company-operated restaurants is recognized when payment is tendered at the point of sale, net of sales tax, discounts and other sales related taxes.

| Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company utilizes an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The provision for income taxes is based upon income or loss after adjustment for those permanent items that are not considered in the determination of taxable income. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary. Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with tax audits is to record such items as a component of operating expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no amounts incurred for penalties and interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company does not expect its uncertain tax position to change during the next twelve months. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position. The Company’s effective tax rates of zero differ from the statutory rate for the years presented primarily due to the Company’s net operating loss, which was fully reserved for all years presented. The Company has identified its United States tax return and its state tax return in Ohio as its “major” tax jurisdictions, and such returns for the years 2020 through 2023 remain subject to examination.

| Film and Media Costs | Film and Media Costs The Company capitalizes all costs to develop films and related media as an asset, included in “project development costs” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The costs for each film or media will be expensed over the expected release period. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $0 and $1,305,000 in film and media costs, respectively, including an impairment charge of $0 and $1,145,000, respectively. The impairment in film and media costs is included in “Impairment expense” on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. |

| Fair Value Measurement | Fair Value Measurement The Company follows FASB’s ASC 820–10, Fair Value Measurement, to measure the fair value of its financial instruments and non-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. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820–10-20 are described below:
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, accounts receivable, 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 carrying amount of the Company’s notes payable are considered to approximate their fair value based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities.
The Company uses the fair value hierarchy to measure the fair value of its warrant liabilities, investments available for sale and interest rate swap. The Company revalues its financial instruments at every reporting period. The Company recognizes gains or losses on the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities as “change in fair value of warrant liability” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognizes gains or losses on the change in fair value of the investments available for sale as “change in fair value of investments available for sale” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognizes gains or losses on the change in fair value of the interest rate swap as “change in fair value of interest rate swap” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table provides the financial liabilities measured on a recurring basis and reported at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
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”) and the Series B Warrants issued in the Company’s November 2020 follow-on public offering, 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 appropriately.
Subsequent measurement The following table presents the changes in fair value of the warrant liabilities:
The key inputs into the Black Scholes valuation model for the Level 3 valuations as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:
The valuation of the investments available for sale was based on an option pricing model using market rate assumptions. The interest rate swap was terminated in 2023.

| Net Loss Per Common Share | Net Loss Per Common Share Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net 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, and (iii) conversion of preferred stock, are only included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share when their effect is dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company was in a loss position and therefore all potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the following outstanding common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per share because their impact would be anti-dilutive.

| Recent Accounting Standards | Recent Accounting Standards In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting, to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes, requiring more granular disclosure of the components of income taxes. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
