Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company는 총자산 $360,497,791, 총부채 $315,671,345를 보고했으며, 이에 따라 자본총계는 $44,826,446이고 누적결손은 $301,058,485입니다. 회사는 목적지형 리조트, 미디어 및 게임 관련 사업을 운영하며 DoubleTree by Hilton과 Hall of Fame Village 자산을 보유하고 있습니다.

2025년 6월 30일로 종료된 6개월 동안 총수익은 $7,287,602였고, 회사는 순손실 $26,964,556( HOFRE 주주 귀속 순손실 $27,496,556)를 기록했으며, 주당 기본 및 희석 기준으로는 $4.11입니다. 현금 및 제한된 현금은 총 $5,241,419였고 그중 자유롭게 사용할 수 있는 현금은 $831,075에 불과합니다. 유가증권발행채무(순액)는 $261,944,445였고 약 $126백만의 부채가 2026년 6월 30일까지 만기 예정입니다. 회사는 계속기업으로서의 존속능력에 대해 중대한 의문을 제기했습니다.

공시에는 주당 $0.90의 현금 대우를 제공하는 합병계약, 여러 차례의 수정 및 단기 부채 연장, 그리고 회사가 Nasdaq에서 상장폐지되어 현재 OTC Pink 시장에서 거래되고 있다는 내용이 포함되어 있습니다.

Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company a déclaré des actifs totaux de $360.497.791 contre des passifs totaux de $315.671.345, laissant un capitaux propres de $44.826.446 et un déficit accumulé de $301.058.485. La société exploite des activités liées aux stations touristiques, aux médias et aux jeux, et possède les actifs DoubleTree by Hilton et Hall of Fame Village.

Pour les six mois clos le 30 juin 2025, le chiffre d'affaires total s'est élevé à $7.287.602 et la société a enregistré une perte nette de $26.964.556 (perte nette attribuable aux actionnaires HOFRE $27.496.556), soit $4,11 par action de base et diluée. La trésorerie et les liquidités restreintes s'élevaient à $5.241.419, dont seulement $831.075 non restreints. Les effets à payer, nets, étaient de $261.944.445 et environ $126 millions de dette doivent arriver à échéance d'ici le 30 juin 2026. La société a fait état de doutes substantiels quant à sa capacité à poursuivre son activité.

Le dossier révèle un accord de fusion prévoyant une contrepartie en espèces de $0,90 par action, de multiples amendements et prolongations à court terme des facilités d'endettement, et que la société a été radiée du Nasdaq et est désormais cotée sur le marché OTC Pink.

Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company meldete Gesamtvermögen von $360.497.791 gegenüber Gesamtverbindlichkeiten von $315.671.345, wodurch ein Eigenkapital von $44.826.446 und ein aufgelaufener Fehlbetrag von $301.058.485 verbleiben. Das Unternehmen betreibt Destination-Resort-, Medien- und Glücksspiel-nahe Geschäfte und besitzt die Vermögenswerte DoubleTree by Hilton und Hall of Fame Village.

Für die sechs Monate zum 30. Juni 2025 beliefen sich die Gesamterlöse auf $7.287.602 und das Unternehmen verzeichnete einen Nettoverlust von $26.964.556 (auf HOFRE-Aktionäre entfallender Nettoverlust $27.496.556), bzw. $4,11 je Aktie unverwässert und verwässert. Zahlungsmittel und gebundenes Zahlungsmittel betrugen insgesamt $5.241.419, davon nur $831.075 frei verfügbar. Die Verbindlichkeiten aus Wechseln, netto, beliefen sich auf $261.944.445, und rund $126 Millionen an Schulden sind bis zum 30. Juni 2026 fällig. Das Unternehmen äußerte erhebliche Zweifel an seiner Fähigkeit, als fortgeführtes Unternehmen weiterzubestehen.

Die Einreichung offenbart einen Fusionsvertrag, der eine Barabfindung von $0,90 je Aktie vorsieht, mehrere Nachträge und kurzfristige Verlängerungen der Kreditfazilitäten sowie die Delistung des Unternehmens vom Nasdaq; die Aktie wird nun im OTC Pink-Markt gehandelt.

Positive
  • Merger Agreement announced providing $0.90 cash per share consideration to common stockholders, a material strategic transaction
  • Sponsorship revenue remained steady quarter-over-quarter (Q2 sponsorships $636,546 vs $626,831 prior year quarter)
  • Debt amendments and short-term extensions (Omnibus extension, PIPE amendment) provided near-term covenant relief and additional runway
  • Restricted cash balance maintained at $4,410,344, supporting escrowed capital improvements and debt service requirements
Negative
  • Recurring losses and large accumulated deficit of $301,058,485, with a six-month net loss of $26,964,556
  • Low unrestricted cash of $831,075 against approximately $126 million of debt maturing through June 30, 2026
  • Notes payable, net of $261.9 million and substantial near-term principal payments increase refinancing risk
  • Nasdaq delisting completed; common stock now trades on the OTC Pink market, reducing liquidity and investor visibility
  • Company disclosed substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern
  • As of Aug 12, 2025 the Company had not made required Series A preferred dividend payments, indicating cash strain

Insights

TL;DR: Significant losses, heavy near-term debt maturities and low unrestricted cash create material liquidity risk despite a announced merger.

The company's six-month operating shortfall and large accumulated deficit contrast with limited unrestricted cash of $831,075 and sizable notes payable net of $261.9 million. Approximately $126 million of principal is due within the next year, increasing refinancing risk. Revenue streams are modest relative to interest and depreciation expense, producing negative operating cash flow of $6.3 million for the six months. Recent amendments and short-term extensions provide breathing room but are not long-term solutions. The announced Merger Agreement at $0.90 per share is material; its completion will be determinative for creditors and equity holders. Impact: impactful.

TL;DR: Board-level changes, CEO resignation and Nasdaq delisting heighten governance and market-access risks for stakeholders.

The CEO informed the Board of his resignation and a non-executive chairman was appointed; principal executive and financial officer roles were reassigned. The company received Nasdaq deficiency and delisting notices and did not appeal, resulting in removal from Nasdaq and transfer to OTC Pink, reducing liquidity and investor visibility. Multiple related-party financing amendments and extensive lender forbearance highlight dependence on a narrow set of capital providers. These events materially affect shareholder rights, marketability of stock, and oversight considerations. Impact: impactful.

Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company and Subsidiaries

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 and entertainment destination centered around the PFHOF’s campus. The Company is pursuing a multi-pronged strategy across three business verticals, including destination-based assets, Hall of Fame Village, HOF Village Media Group, LLC (“Hall of Fame Village Media”), and gaming (“Gold Summit Gaming”).

 

The Company has entered into multiple agreements with PFHOF, Sports Complex Newco (as defined in Note 12), Twain GL XXXVI, LLC, 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 other entities, government and quasi-governmental entities (see Note 9 for additional information). Under these agreements, the PFHOF and the lessor entities may be entitled to use portions of the Hall of Fame Village on a direct-cost basis.

Note 1: Organization, Nature of Business, and Liquidity (continued)

 

Agreement and Plan of Merger

 

On May 7, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with HOFV Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), Omaha Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”, and together with Parent, the “Buyer Parties”), and, solely as guarantor of certain of Parent’s obligations under the Merger Agreement, CH Capital Lending, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Guarantor” or “CHCL”).

 

The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (a) Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Surviving Corporation”), (b) each issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Company Common Stock”), as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Owned Company Shares (as defined below) or dissenting shares) will be converted into the right to receive $0.90 in cash without interest and subject to applicable withholding (the “Merger Consideration”), (c) each share of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, any shares of Company Common Stock owned by the Buyer Parties, and any shares of Company Common Stock owned by affiliates of the Buyer Parties immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, “Owned Company Shares”) will automatically be canceled and will cease to exist without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor, (d) each share of 7.00% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company and each share of 7.00% Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be canceled and will cease to exist without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor, and (e) each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be converted into and become one fully paid, nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, which will thereafter represent the ownership of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

The Company has sustained recurring losses through June 30, 2025 and the Company’s accumulated deficit was $301.1 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, 2025, the Company had approximately $0.8 million of unrestricted cash and $4.4 million of restricted cash. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company had cash used in operating activities of $6.3 million. The Company has approximately $126 million of debt coming due through June 30, 2026.

 

On October 26, 2024, the Company received a notice of termination due to event of default on its waterpark ground lease. Under the waterpark ground lease, the notice of termination required that the Company immediately surrender the waterpark premises and related improvements to the landlord. See Note 12 – Financing Liability – for more discussion of this termination. Given the Company’s financial position, the Company is in default or risks becoming in default under certain other loan agreements.

Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1: Organization, Nature of Business, and Liquidity (continued)

 

Liquidity and Going Concern (continued)

 

The Company 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. As discussed above, the Company is currently pursuing a merger transaction and IRG affiliates are funding the Company’s current working capital needs. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Cash flows generated from the Company’s operations are insufficient 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 or must significantly curtail its ongoing operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern including meeting 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, 2024, filed on March 26, 2025. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2025.

 

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.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the 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 income (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.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $4,410,344 and $4,015,377, 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company also had $2,433,000 and $2,433,000, 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) income from equity method investments” 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.

 

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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has recorded an allowance for credit losses of $184,554 and $277,673, 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 effective 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 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. 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.

Revenue Recognition (continued)

 

The Company’s owned hotel revenues primarily consist of hotel room sales, revenue from accommodations sold in conjunction with other services (e.g., 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 and concessions 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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, 2025 and 2024. 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 2021 through 2024 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, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not recognize any film and media costs.

 

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 and investments available for sale. 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 securities available for sale” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The valuation of the investments available for sale was based on an option pricing model using market rate assumptions.

 

The following table provides the financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis and reported at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

 

   Level   June 30,
2025
   December 31, 2024 
Warrant liabilities – Public Series A Warrants   1   $
-
   $75,000 
Warrant liabilities – Private Series A Warrants   3

-
 
Warrant liabilities – Series B Warrants   3

-
   $75,000 
                
Investments available for sale   3   $2,433,000   $2,433,000 

 

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, 2025 and 2024, the Company was in a loss position and therefore all potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive.

 

As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the following outstanding common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per share because their impact would be anti-dilutive.

 

   For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 
   2025   2024 
Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock   3,681,403    3,681,403 
Unvested restricted stock units to be settled in shares of Common Stock   13,323    216,477 
Shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible notes   11,692,475    10,311,086 
Shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock   
-

Shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series C Preferred Stock   454,408    454,408 
Total potentially dilutive securities   15,841,609    14,663,374 

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

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 consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Sports Betting Agreements

 

On July 14, 2022, the Company entered into an Online Market Access Agreement with Instabet, Inc. doing business as betr (“Betr”), pursuant to which Betr will serve as a Mobile Management Services Provider (as defined under applicable Ohio gaming law) wherein Betr will host, operate and support a branded online sports betting service in Ohio, subject to procurement and maintenance of all necessary licenses. The initial term of the Online Market Access Agreement is ten years.

 

As part of this agreement, the Company will receive a limited equity interest in Betr and certain revenue sharing, along with the opportunity for sponsorship and cross-marketing. The limited equity interest was in the form of penny warrants initially valued at $4,000,000 at the grant date. The grant date value of these warrants was recorded as deferred revenue (within “Other liabilities” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets) and will be amortized over the life of the sports betting agreement.

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. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $187,500 and $162,500, respectively in revenue and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $375,000 and $325,000, respectively in revenue.

To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Common Stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-day period, at which time the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it complies with the Minimum Bid Requirement, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this ten-day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H). The compliance period for the Company will expire on October 7, 2025.

 

On June 18, 2025, the Company received a delisting notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that it has initiated delisting procedures based on a representation from the Company that it will not hold an annual meeting of shareholders on or prior to June 30, 2025. The failure to hold an annual meeting of shareholders within twelve months from the end of the Company’s fiscal year-end is a requirement by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a).

 

The Company did not appeal the delisting determination to a Hearing Panel pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series, trading of the Company’s Common Stock was suspended at the opening of business on June 27, 2025 and a Form 25-NSE was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which removed the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq. The Company did not appeal or request a hearing and, therefore, its Common Stock was delisted. Following the delisting from Nasdaq, the Company’s common stock began trading on the OTC Markets Pink Sheets.

Global License Agreement

 

Effective April 8, 2022, the Company and PFHOF, entered into a Global License Agreement (the “Global License Agreement”). The Global License Agreement consolidates and replaces the First Amended and Restated License Agreement, the Amended and Restated Media License Agreement, and the Branding Agreement the parties had previously entered into. The Global License Agreement sets forth the terms under which PFHOF licenses certain marks and works to the Company to exploit existing PFHOF works and to create new works. The Global License Agreement grants the Company and its affiliates an exclusive right and license to use the PFHOF marks in conjunction with theme-based entertainment and attractions within the City of Canton, Ohio; youth sports programs, subject to certain exclusions; e-gaming and video games; and sports betting. The Global License Agreement also grants the Company and its affiliates a non-exclusive license to use the PFHOF marks and works in other areas of use, with a right of first refusal, subject to specified exclusions. The Global License Agreement acknowledges the existence of agreements in effect between PFHOF and certain third parties that provide for certain restrictions on the rights of PFHOF, which affects the rights that can be granted to the Company. These restrictions include, but are not limited to, such third parties having co-exclusive rights to exploit content based on the PFHOF enshrinement ceremonies and other enshrinement events.

 

Effective September 11, 2024, the Company and PFHOF, entered into an Amended and Restated Global License Agreement (“A&R Agreement”). The A&R Agreement replaces the Global License Agreement the parties had previously entered into on April 8, 2022.

 

The A&R Agreement sets forth the terms under which PFHOF licenses certain marks and works to the Company to utilize existing PFHOF marks and works in a HOFV proposed project. The Company’s bona fide use of PFHOF marks shall be in connection with the Village campus, youth sports programs, e-gaming, and/or video games, and such other fields of use that are not specifically set forth. The Company’s use and license rights of PFHOF marks and/or works vary based on the nature of the proposed project and are subject to PFHOF’s approval in each instance. In connection with any proposed project approved by PFHOF or use of any PFHOF work as approved by PFHOF, HOFV and PFHOF shall mutually agree on the license fee and/or royalty to be paid to PFHOF in connection therewith taking into consideration all relevant factors and uses thereof. The previous Global License Agreement required Newco to pay PFHOF an annual license fee of $900,000 in the first contract year, inclusive of calendar years 2021 and 2022; an annual license fee of $600,000 in each of contract years two through six; and an annual license fee of $750,000 per year starting in contract year seven through the end of the initial term. The A&R Agreement removes the requirement of payment of an annual license fee moving forward and in exchange for the Company executing the A&R Agreement, PFHOF has agreed to expressly waive payment of the annual license fee of $600,000 for 2024, which was invoiced in January and July. The A&R Agreement is effective September 11, 2024, and was effective through December 31, 2024. Thereafter, the A&R Agreement shall automatically renew for successive 1-year terms, unless either party gives written notice of intent not to renew at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then current term. No party provided notice to not renew, and therefore the A&R Agreement was automatically renewed through December 31, 2025.

At any point in time, the Company can have funds in their operating accounts and restricted cash accounts that are with third-party financial institutions.

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.

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.

 

The Company accounted for the Sale-Leaseback transactions with Twain as a financing transaction with the purchaser of the property. The Company concluded the lease agreement met the qualifications to be classified as a finance lease 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 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 October 26, 2024, the Company received from Oak Street Real Estate Capital, LLC (“HFAKOH001 LLC”) a notice of lease termination due to an event of default under the Sale-Leaseback, dated as of November 7, 2022, between HOF Village Waterpark, LLC and HFAKOH001 LLC for the waterpark property. Under the Sale-Leaseback, the termination requires that the Company immediately surrender the waterpark premises under such lease to the Landlord and any improvements thereto (including the construction of new buildings thereon) with all fixtures appurtenant thereto.

 

The default identified in the notice is a payment default under the Sale-Leaseback. HFAKOH001 LLC had agreed to forbear exercising remedies for the payment default until October 25, 2024. The outstanding principal balance of unpaid base rent under the Sale-Leaseback (inclusive of default interest and late fees accrued up to the date of termination) was approximately $2,600,000.

 

In addition to unpaid rent, the Waterpark Ground Lease provides that Landlord is entitled to recover the following as damages: (i) the amount by which the unpaid rent for what would have been the remaining term of the Waterpark Ground Lease exceeds the then fair market rental value of the waterpark premises, both discounted to present value, plus (ii) any damages, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, which Landlord sustains as a result of the breach of the covenants of the Waterpark Ground Lease other than for the payment of rent, in each case plus interest.

Note 12: Financing Liability (continued)

 

The notice states that Landlord retains the absolute and unconditional right to pursue any and all remedies available under the Waterpark Ground Lease and related security agreements and applicable law, concurrently or consecutively, at Landlord’s sole discretion. The Company’s subsidiary HOF Village Newco, LLC (“Guarantor”) guaranteed Tenant’s obligations under the Waterpark Ground Lease pursuant to a limited recourse guaranty dated as of November 7, 2022. The security agreements and collateral that support Tenant and Guarantor’s obligations under the Waterpark Ground Lease consist of the following:

 

Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. Guarantor pledged and granted in favor of Landlord 100% of its membership interests in HOF Village Stadium, LLC (“HOFV Stadium”) and certain related security interests under a Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of November 7, 2022. HOFV Stadium granted Landlord a security interest in HOFV Stadium’s leasehold interest in the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium and certain related security interests, pursuant to an Open-End Leasehold Mortgage, Assignment of Lease and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated as of December 27, 2022.

 

20% Interest in ForeverLawn Park. Guarantor pledged and granted in favor of landlord its 20% interest in the ForeverLawn Park that is held in a joint venture with Sandlot Facilities, LLC, and certain related security interests, pursuant to a Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of February 23, 2024.

 

Real Estate Adjacent to Hall of Fame Village. Guarantor granted Landlord a security interest in ten undeveloped residential real estate parcels and four commercial real estate parcels owned by Guarantor located adjacent to Hall of Fame Village and certain related security interests, pursuant to an Open-End Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated as of February 29, 2024.

 

On April 17, 2025, the Company entered into a letter of intent with HFAKOH001 LLC (“Landlord”), CH Capital Lending, LLC, and Stuart Lichter (the “Lease Restructuring LOI”), which outlines (i) certain non-binding terms regarding the waterpark property, the on-site hotel property, the stadium property, the Company’s 20% ownership interest in Sandlot HOFV Canton SC, LLC and the 14 miscellaneous real estate parcels owned by the Company (the “Lease Restructuring”), which terms are to be set forth in definitive lease restructuring documents (collectively, the “Lease Restructuring Transaction Documents”), and (ii) binding terms regarding a breakage fee in the amount of the stadium property tax paid by Landlord on behalf the Company of $1,988,186 (“Breakage Fee”) that would be owed by the Company to Landlord if the closing of the Lease Restructuring Transaction Documents does not occur by September 30, 2025 (the “Outside Date”), subject to any agreed extensions, as a result of a willful breach by an affiliate of our director Stuart Lichter to consummate the Merger.

Triggering Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

 

On July 18, 2025, HOF Village Retail I, LLC and HOF Village Retail II, LLC (together, the “Tenant”), wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, received a notice of default (the “Notice”) from Twain GL XXXVI, LLC (the “Landlord”) under that certain Ground Lease dated as of September 27, 2022 (the “Lease”) related to the Fan Engagement Zone. The Notice was additionally directed to the Company in its capacity as guarantor under that certain Guaranty dated as of September 27, 2022 (the “Guaranty”) related to the Lease.

 

The Notice stated that the Tenant has failed to pay rent due under the Lease, including all or a portion of the April 1, 2025 installment, with a total amount allegedly due of $283,915 as of July 18, 2025. The Notice also claimed that the Company was in default under the Guaranty for failing to make such payments on behalf of the Tenant. The Notice stated that failure of the Tenant to pay the amounts demanded by July 23, 2025, entitled Landlord to exercise its rights and remedies under the Lease, including, without limitation, the termination of the lease agreement.

 

Following receipt of the Notice, the Company received an advance from CHCL pursuant to that certain Note and Security Agreement dated June 18, 2025, as amended, and made payment in full of all amounts demanded on July 23, 2025, which the Company believes cures the defaults identified in the Notice.

 

Ninth Amendment to Note and Security Agreement

 

On July 24, 2025, the Company entered into a Ninth Amendment to Note and Security Agreement (“Ninth Amendment”) with CHCL.

 

The Ninth Amendment modifies the definition of “Facility Amount” in Section 1 of the original note and security agreement (as amended prior to the Ninth Amendment) to increase the facility amount from $14,000,000 to $15,000,000 allowing the Borrowers to request an additional $1,000,000 for general corporate purposes, subject to certain restrictions.

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, 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 Park (ownership reduced to 20% as of January 11, 2024), and Hall of Fame Village Media. 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 Park 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, Next Man Up: NFL Alumni Academy and Hometown Heroes.

 

We have procured licenses in the State of Ohio for both a physical sports betting operation and online sports betting platform. We have entered into an agreement with Instabet, Inc. doing business as betr (“Betr”) as our mobile management services provider. Currently, the Company does not have a sports betting partner for its retail sports book. 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), the Fan Engagement Zone (retail promenade), core and shell for Retail I (completed in August of 2022), and the core and shell of Retail II (completed in November of 2022), and two hotels (one to-be-constructed on campus, and one in downtown Canton that opened in November 2020). 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 and concessions 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. 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, tenants, experiences and open additional assets.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our operating expenses include event/media 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 additional events, programming, and assets, and Phase III development. 

 

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.

 

Recent Developments

 

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard

 

On January 10, 2025, the Company received a deficiency letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company failed to hold an annual meeting of stockholders within 12 months after its fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) (the “Annual Meeting Requirement”).

 

The Notice had no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) on Nasdaq.

 

On February 18, 2025, we submitted to the Staff a plan of compliance which describes the circumstances under which it became noncompliant with the Annual Meeting Requirement and the Company’s plan with which it will regain compliance. The Staff has determined to grant the Company an extension until June 30, 2025 to regain compliance with the Annual Meeting Requirement by holding an annual meeting of shareholders.

 

On April 10, 2025, we received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq notifying us that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for our common stock (the “Common Stock”) had closed below $1.00 per share, which is the minimum bid price required to maintain continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”).

 

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Common Stock. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Common Stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-day period, at which time the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it complies with the Minimum Bid Requirement, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this ten-day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H). The compliance period for the Company will expire on October 7, 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have sustained recurring losses through June 30, 2025, and our accumulated deficit was $301.1 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, 2025, we had approximately $0.8 million of unrestricted cash and $4.4 million of restricted cash. Through June 30, 2026, we have $126 million in debt principal payments coming due. At August 12, 2025, the Company’s cash position is deficient and certain payments for our operations are not being made in the ordinary course of business.

 

Certain of our liquidity requirements have been, and may continue to be, funded in part by loans from CHCL, an affiliate of the Company’s director Stuart Lichter, and certain other affiliates of Mr. Lichter.

 

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. Cash flows generated from our operations are insufficient to meet our 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 or must significantly curtail 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

 

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

 

   For the Three Months Ended June 30,

Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a change of $1.0 million from the same period in the prior year. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to a decrease of $3.3 million in amortization of financing liability, and a $1.2 decrease in the change in due to affiliates, offset by a $3.2 million decrease in net loss.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Financing Activities  

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $7.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $3.5 million from the same period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to a decrease of $8.2 million in repayments of notes payable, offset by a decrease of $2.2 million in notes payable proceeds and a decrease of $3.5 million in proceeds from our financing liability.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2025.

 

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, 2024, we concluded there were material weaknesses in 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 and we did not maintain effective controls over non-routine transactions. We have taken steps to remediate these material weaknesses 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 weaknesses.

 

Because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as previously disclosed, our Executive Vice President of Business Administration, Senior Vice President of Finance and Vice President Accounting/Corporate Controller concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level. Our management, including our Executive Vice President of Business Administration, Senior Vice President of Finance and Vice President Accounting/Corporate Controller, have concluded that, notwithstanding the material weaknesses 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, 2025, the Company continued 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.
