Description of the Business [Abstract] | ||
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS | 1. FaZe Holdings Inc. (“FaZe” or the “Company”), is a lifestyle and media platform rooted in gaming and youth culture. The Company’s premium brand, talent network, and large audience can be monetized across a variety of products and services. On July 19, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of October 24, 2021 (as amended in December 2021 and March 2022), by and among B. Riley 150 Merger Corp. (“B. Riley 150”), a special purpose acquisition company, and BRPM Merger Sub, Inc., a directly wholly owned subsidiary of B. Riley 150 (“Merger Sub”) and FaZe Clan, Inc. (“Legacy FaZe”), the parties consummated the merger of Merger Sub with and into Legacy FaZe, with Legacy FaZe continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), as well as the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the Merger and such other transactions, the “Business Combination”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Legacy FaZe became a wholly owned subsidiary of B. Riley 150, which changed its name to “FaZe Holdings Inc.” Legacy FaZe determined that it was the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, B. Riley 150 was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy FaZe issuing stock for the net assets of B. Riley 150, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of B. Riley 150 were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of Legacy FaZe. In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the equity structure has been retroactively restated in all comparative periods up to the Closing Date, to reflect the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued to Legacy FaZe’s common stockholders in connection with the Business Combination. As a result, these financial statements represent the continuation of Legacy FaZe and the historical shareholders’ deficit. Common stock, preferred stock and loss per share of Legacy FaZe prior to the Business Combination have been retrospectively adjusted for the Business Combination using an exchange ratio of 2.2267 (“Equity Value Exchange Ratio”). The accumulated deficit of Legacy FaZe has been carried forward after the Business Combination. Notice of Delisting On March 23, 2023, the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), failed to comply with the $1 minimum bid price required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) based upon the closing bid price of the Common Stock for the 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the Letter. The notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Common Stock or warrants, and the Common Stock and warrants will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “FAZE” and “FAZEW,” respectively. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until September 19, 2023 (the “Compliance Date”), by which the Company must regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Common Stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time prior to the Compliance Date, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this ten -day If the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by the Compliance Date, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 -calendar | 1. FaZe Holdings Inc. (“FaZe” or the “Company”), is a lifestyle and media platform rooted in gaming and youth culture. The Company’s premium brand, talent network, and large audience can be monetized across a variety of products and services.

(“Legacy FaZe”), the parties consummated the merger of Merger Sub with and into Legacy FaZe, with Legacy FaZe continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), as well as the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the Merger and such other transactions, the “Business Combination”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Legacy FaZe became a wholly owned subsidiary of B. Riley 150, which changed its name to “FaZe Holdings Inc.” The Merger is further described in Note 4, Business Combination. Legacy FaZe determined that it was the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, B.

Liquidity Abstract | ||
LIQUIDITY | 2. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred significant recurring losses resulting in an accumulated deficit. The Company anticipates further losses in the development of its business. The Company also had negative cash flows used in operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Based on its cash resources and positive working capital as of March 31, 2023, the Company believes it has sufficient resources to fund its operations at least until twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. The positive working capital as of March 31, 2023 was mainly due to funds from the PIPE offering and from the Business Combination. On May 10, 2023, Company, and YA II PN, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership managed by Yorkville Advisors Global, LP (the “Investor”), entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”). The Company will have the right to issue and sell to the Investor, from time to time, as provided in the SEPA, and the Investor shall purchase from the Company, up to $25 million in aggregate gross purchase price (the “Commitment Amount”) of the newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”) (each such sale, an “Advance”) by delivering written notice to the Investor (each, an “Advance Notice” and the date on which the Company is deemed to have delivered an Advance Notice, the “Advance Notice Date”). The Common Stock purchased pursuant to an Advance will be purchased at a price equal to 97% of the lowest daily VWAP of the Common Stock during the three consecutive trading days commencing on the Advance Notice Date. “VWAP” means, for any trading day, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such trading day on the Nasdaq Stock Market during regular trading hours as reported by Bloomberg L.P. The issuance of the Common Stock under the SEPA will be subject to certain limitations, including that (i) the Investor may not purchase any Common Stock that would result in it owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s Common Stock or (ii) the aggregate number of Common Stock issued pursuant to the SEPA cannot exceed 19.9% of the Company’s Common Stock as of as of the date of the SEPA (referred to as the “Exchange Cap”). The Exchange Cap shall not be applicable if: (i) the Company’s stockholders have approved the issuance of Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with the applicable rules of the Principal Market or (ii) to the extent that (and only for so long as) the average price for the issuance of Common Stock equals or exceed the lower of (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the date of the SEPA; or (ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price for the five Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the SEPA. As consideration for the Investor’s commitment to purchase Common Stock at the Company’s direction upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the SEPA, the Company will issue 487,995 The SEPA shall terminate automatically on the earliest of (i) the first day of the month next following the 36 -month | 2. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred significant recurring losses resulting in an accumulated deficit. The Company anticipates further losses in the development of its business. The Company also had negative cash flows used in operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Based on its cash resources and positive working capital as of December 31, 2022, the Company has sufficient resources to fund its operations at least until the end of April 3, 2024. The positive working capital as of December 31, 2022 was mainly due to funds from the PIPE offering and from the business combination. Absent generation of sufficient revenue from the execution of the Company’s business plan, the Company will need to obtain debt or equity financing by April 3, 2024. Because of these factors, the Company believes that this alleviates the substantial doubt in connection with the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 3. Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 -K The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the information set forth herein. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 -K -based There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 -K Principles of consolidation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of FaZe Holdings Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company 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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. The inputs into certain of these estimates and assumptions include the consideration of the economic impact of the COVID -19 -based COVID-19 The continuing presence of COVID -19 -19 -19 -19 -term -term -19 -19 -19 Content Asset, net The Company produces programming content which it plans to broadcast on online video and streaming platforms. Costs of produced content consist of development and production costs. These costs are capitalized as “Content Asset, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Each title is predominantly monetized on its own. At the specific title level, the Company tests the content asset for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that its fair value may be less than its unamortized cost. If the carrying value of a content asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment charge will be recorded in the amount of the difference. The Company’s policy is to amortize the content asset once the content airs. Given that the content was fully written off prior to airing, no amortization expense was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company does not own any purchased or licensed programming content. Exploitation costs such as marketing, advertising, publicity, promotion, and other distribution expenses directly connected with the distribution of the content asset are expensed as incurred. Fixed Assets Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes expenditures for furniture, computer equipment, vehicles, leasehold improvements, and other assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. The costs of fixed assets are depreciated using the straight -line Revenue Recognition and Contract Balances Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s payment terms and conditions vary by customer and contract type. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between the Company’s transfer of a promised product or service to the Company’s customer and payment for that product or service will be one year or less. The Company generally records a receivable related to revenue when the Company has an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment. Contract assets arise from contracts when revenue is recognized over time and the amount of revenue recognized, including management’s estimate of variable consideration that has been included in the transaction price exceeds the amount billed to the customer. These amounts are included in contract assets until the right to payment is no longer conditional on events other than the passage of time. These contract assets are reclassified to receivables when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. For the three months ending March 31, 2023, and 2022, no impairment was recorded from contract assets. The Company’s allowances for doubtful accounts are typically immaterial and, if required, are based on management’s best estimate of expected credit losses inherent in the Company’s accounts receivable balance. Contract liabilities are recorded in the event that the Company bills for services in advance of the time the services are performed, or when cash payments are received or due in advance of satisfying the Company’s performance obligations, even if amounts are refundable. Contract liabilities recorded at March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, represent the Company’s accounting for the timing difference between when the customer is billed or funds are received and when the performance obligation is satisfied. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $2.6 million and $3.0 million as revenue that was relating to the contract liability balance as of January 1, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenue by major type for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022: (In thousands) Three months ended 2023 2022 Brand sponsorships $ 6,263 $ 8,060 Content 3,028 4,681 Consumer products 388 403 Esports 2,847 2,426 Other 24 234 Total revenue $ 12,550 $ 15,804 The section below describes the Company’s revenue recognition policies and significant judgments in further detail for each major revenue source of the Company. Brand Sponsorships The Company offers advertisers a full range of promotional vehicles, including but not limited to online advertising, livestream announcements, content generation, social media posts, logo placement on the Company’s official merchandise, and special appearances of members of the Company’s talent roster. The Company’s brand sponsorship agreements may include multiple services that are capable of being individually distinct; however the intended benefit is an association with the Company’s brand, and the services are not distinct within the context of the contracts. Revenues from brand sponsorship agreements are recognized ratably over the contract term. Payment terms and conditions vary, but payments are generally due periodically throughout the term of the contract. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of billing, management has determined the brand sponsorship agreements generally do not include a significant financing component. Content The Company and our talent roster generates and produces original content which the Company monetizes through Google’s AdSense service. Revenue is variable and is earned when the visitor views or “clicks through” on the advertisement. The amount of revenue earned is reported to the Company monthly and is recognized upon receipt of the report of viewership activity. Payment terms and conditions vary, but payments are generally due within 30 to 45 days after the end of each month. The Company grants exclusive licenses to customers for certain content produced by the Company’s talent. The Company grants the customer a license to the intellectual property, which is the content and its use in generating advertising revenues, for a pre -determined Principal Versus Agent Considerations A significant amount of the Company’s brand sponsorship and content revenues are generated from the Company’s talent, who are under exclusive, multi -year -sharing Consumer Products The Company earns consumer products revenue from sales of the Company’s consumer products on the Company’s website or at live or virtual events. Revenues are recognized at a point in time, as control is transferred to the customer upon shipment. The Company offers customer returns and discounts through a third -party incentive programs that are material to revenue recognition. Payment is due at the time of sale. The Company has outsourced the design, manufacturing, fulfillment, distribution, and sale of the Company’s consumer products to a third party in exchange for royalties based on the amount of revenue generated. Management evaluated the terms of the agreement to determine whether the Company’s consumer products revenues should be reported gross or net of royalties paid. Key indicators that management evaluated in determining whether the Company is the principal in the sale (gross reporting) or an agent (net reporting) include, but are not limited to: • • • Based on management’s evaluation of the above indicators, the Company reports consumer products revenues on a gross basis. Esports League Participation -share Player Transfer Fees Licensing of Intellectual Property Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations For the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of March 31, 2023, the Company applies the allowable practical expedient and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. Revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that have original expected durations greater than one year that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of March 31, 2023 were not material. Warrants The Company accounts for warrants as either equity -classified -classified -10-15-74 -classified The classification of warrants, including whether warrants should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re -assessed -classified -Scholes -Scholes Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its stock -based -based Legacy FaZe has issued stock options before there was an active market for the Company’s common stock. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) was required to estimate the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the time of each award. The Board considered numerous objective and subjective factors in determining the value of the Company’s common stock at each grant date, including the following: (1) the per -share -length -length For stock options, the Company estimates the fair value using the Black -Scholes -free The Black -Scholes -based -based -based Fair Value Measurement The fair value hierarchy requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices which are observable for the assets or liabilities Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, and accounts payable, approximate fair value due to their short -term The Company’s private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815 -40 See Note 6, Private Placement Warrants and Recurring Fair Value Measurements, for additional information on the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value. Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to the Company by the number of weighted average shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to the Company by the number of weighted -average Segment Reporting Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company has determined that its Chief Executive Officer is the CODM. The Company operates and reports financial information in one segment, as the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, at the Company level, for the purposes of making operating decisions, allocation of resources, and evaluating financial performance. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have material assets located outside of the United States. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had international Esports revenue of $2.3 million and no material revenue, respectively, earned outside of the United States. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016 -13 estimates and judgements used in estimating credit losses. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures. Out-of-Period Adjustment During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded an out -of-period | 3. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FaZe Holdings Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Voluntary Change in Accounting Principle During the year ended December 2022, we made a voluntary change in accounting principle to classify certain talent costs and talent acquisition amortization costs reported in prior periods have been reclassified from general and administrative to cost of goods sold to conform with the current presentation, to better identify costs related to revenue generation. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the change has been reflected in the consolidated statements of operations through retrospective application. (in thousands) For the twelve months ended Prior to change Effect of Change As Adjusted Cost of revenues $ 41,553 $ 2,323 $ 43,876 General and administrative 39,401 (2,323 ) 37,078 Gross profit 11,299 (2,323 ) 8,976 Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company 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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements.

At the specific title level, the Company tests the content asset for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that its fair value may be less than its unamortized cost. If the carrying value of a content asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment charge will be recorded in the amount of the difference. In April 2022, the Company performed an evaluation of its content asset and determined that the underlying programming of the content asset will not be released. In addition, the Company determined that the content asset has no further utility. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1.1 million to write off the entire carrying value of content asset. As such, the Company has no content asset balance as of December 31, 2022. Content asset balance as of December 31, 2021 was $0.5 million. The Company’s policy is to amortize the content asset once the content airs. Given that the content was fully written off prior to airing, no amortization expense was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company does not own any purchased or licensed programming content. Exploitation costs such as marketing, advertising, publicity, promotion, and other distribution expenses directly connected with the distribution of the content asset are expensed as incurred.

During the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $7.8 million and $0.8 million as revenue that was relating to the contract liability balance as of January 1, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $1.8 million and $4.0 million of revenue, respectively, earned outside of the United States. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020 -06 -20 -40 form -over-substance-based In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021 -04 -50 -40 -Classified -classified -based -04 In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016 -02 -of-use -02 The Company adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2022 using the optional transition method to apply the standard as of the effective date. Accordingly, previously reported financial statements, including footnote disclosures, have not been recast to reflect the application of the new standard to all comparative periods presented. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting as a lessee. The Company elected to utilize the practical expedient to not separate lease and non -lease -term Adoption of the new lease standard on January 1, 2022 had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The most significant impacts related to the recognition of ROU assets of $2.7 million and lease liabilities of $2.6 million for operating leases on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The standard did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement of cash flows. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019 -12 -740 -12 to improve consistent application. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted As an emerging growth company, the JOBS Act allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. The Company elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time the Company is no longer considered to be an emerging growth company. The adoption dates discussed below reflect this election. In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016 -13 |

Debt [Abstract] | |
DEBT | 8. As of December 31, 2022, there is no debt outstanding as all outstanding debts have been paid off or converted into Legacy FaZe common stock and eventually to Company common stock as a result of the Business Combination. Debt as of December 31, 2021 consisted of the following: As of December 31, 2021 (in thousands) Unpaid Short- Long- Unamortized Net 2021 Cox Convertible Promissory $ 15,000 $ — $ 15,000 $ — $ 15,000 2021 Convertible Promissory Notes 675 — 675 — 675 2020 Secured Convertible Promissory Note 55,000 — 55,000 (358 ) 54,642 2020 Convertible Promissory Notes 2,525 2,025 500 — 2,525 2020 PPP Loan 1,123 1,123 — — 1,123 Other loans 37 — 37 — 37 Total principal amount outstanding $ 74,360 $ 3,148 $ 71,212 $ (358 ) $ 74,002 2021 Cox Convertible Promissory Notes In August 2021, Legacy FaZe entered into an agreement with Cox Investment Holdings, Inc. (“Cox”) to which the Legacy FaZe sold convertible promissory notes totaling $10.0 million. The maturity date is the earliest of (a) December 15, 2023, (b) the consummation of an initial public offering, (c) the merger of Legacy FaZe with another entity, (d) a transaction pursuant to which more than 50% of Legacy FaZe’s equity securities come to be owned by an unrelated third party, (e) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Legacy FaZe, or (f) the consummation of a private round of equity financing resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to Legacy FaZe of at least $15.0 million (“Cox Qualified Financing”). In addition, Cox exercised its right to purchase an additional $5.0 million in Cox Convertible Promissory Notes in October 2021. The convertible promissory notes are convertible, at the investor’s election, into shares of common stock or shares of the series or class of capital stock most recently sold in a Cox Qualified Financing consummated prior to such time. The conversion price is equal to the lesser of (a) the imputed pre -money -exercised -converted The 2021 Cox Convertible Promissory Notes, which cannot be prepaid without consent of the holder, bear interest at a rate of 10.00% per annum and are secured against substantially all assets of Legacy FaZe. Legacy FaZe evaluated the embedded conversion feature in accordance with ASC 815 and determined that embedded conversion feature did not meet the definition of a derivative and therefore did not account for it as a separate derivative liability. As a result of the Business Combination, on the Closing Date, $15.0 million of Legacy FaZe’s 2021 Cox Convertible Promissory Notes with $1.3 million accrued interest were converted into 3,096,908 2021 Convertible Promissory Notes In June and August 2021, Legacy FaZe entered into Convertible Promissory Note agreements with accredited investors pursuant to which Legacy FaZe sold Promissory Notes totaling $0.7 million. For each note issued, the maturity date is the second anniversary of the date of the Purchase Agreement. The conversion price is equal to 90% of the price per share sold in a preferred stock financing, provided the price is subject to adjustment in the event Legacy FaZe’s enterprise value is greater than $250.0 million on that date. The 2021 Convertible Promissory Notes, which cannot be prepaid without consent of the holder, bear interest at a rate of 4.00% per annum and are subordinate and junior in right of payment to any senior indebtedness of Legacy FaZe. Legacy FaZe evaluated the embedded conversion feature in accordance with ASC 815 and determined that embedded conversion feature did not meet the definition of a derivative and therefore did not account for it as a separate derivative liability. As a result of the Business Combination, on the Closing Date, $0.7 million of Legacy FaZe’s 2021 Convertible Promissory Notes with $26,770 accrued interest were converted into 133,276 2020 Secured Convertible Note Purchase Agreements and Secured Convertible Promissory Notes In December 2020, Legacy FaZe entered into a Secured Convertible Note Purchase Agreement as amended on February 22, 2021, April 23, 2021, and August 16, 2021 (together, the “Purchase Agreement”) with CPH Phase II SPV L.P. and CPH Phase III SVP L.P., accredited investors, (collectively referred to as “CPH Noteholders”) pursuant to which Legacy FaZe agreed to sell Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “CPH Notes”), for a total of up to $91.7 million, to the investors. Legacy FaZe issued Secured Convertible Promissory Notes to the investors for a total of $55.0 million. In October 2021, Legacy FaZe entered into an agreement with the CPH Noteholders, for the settlement of the accrued interest on the CPH Notes and the settlement of the purchaser’s right, but not obligation, to purchase additional CPH Notes from Legacy FaZe for up to $36.7 million expiring in June 2022 (“CPH Right”). The CPH Right has an anti -dilution -in-control For each note issued under the Purchase Agreement, the maturity date is the earlier of December 15, 2023 of either (i) an initial public offering, (ii) a transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which more than 50% of Legacy FaZe’s equity securities come to be owned by an unrelated third party or (iii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Legacy FaZe (a “Liquidity Event”). The CPH Notes are convertible, at the investor’s election, into shares of common stock or shares of the series or class of capital stock (“Conversion Shares”) sold in a private round of equity financing consummated after January 1, 2021 that result in gross proceeds of at least $15.0 million (a “CPH Qualified Financing”). The conversion price is equal to the imputed pre -money -exercised -converted Legacy FaZe may prepay the CPH Notes in whole or in part at any time without penalty, provided the investor has the right to utilize the proceeds to purchase the Conversion Shares at the conversion price prior to the maturity date. The CPH Notes bear interest at 10.00% per annum and are secured against substantially all assets of Legacy FaZe. Legacy FaZe evaluated the embedded conversion feature in accordance with ASC 815 and determined that embedded conversion feature did not meet the definition of a derivative and therefore did not account for it as a separate derivative liability. As a result of the Business Combination, on the Closing Date, $54.7 million of Legacy FaZe’s 2020 Secured Convertible Note Purchase Agreements and Secured Convertible Promissory Notes, with $5.3 million accrued interest, were converted into 15,769,002 2020 Convertible Promissory Notes In March — June 2020, Legacy FaZe entered into Convertible Promissory Note agreements with accredited investors pursuant to which Legacy FaZe sold Convertible Promissory Notes totaling $2.5 million. Subsequent to the execution of the Merger Agreement, in November and December 2021, Legacy FaZe entered into consent letters with each of the 2020 Convertible Promissory Note Holders wherein each note was converted into a number of shares of Legacy FaZe’s common stock immediately prior to the Merger. The conversion price was equal to $250.0 million or $200.0 million divided by the total number of shares of capital stock of Legacy FaZe issued and outstanding, calculated on an as -exercised -converted The 2020 Convertible Promissory Notes, which cannot be prepaid without consent of the holder, bear interest at a rate of 4.00% per annum and are subordinate and junior in right of payment to any senior indebtedness of Legacy FaZe. Legacy FaZe evaluated the embedded conversion feature in accordance with ASC 815 and determined that embedded conversion feature did not meet the definition of a derivative and therefore did not account for it as a separate derivative liability. As a result of the Business Combination, on the Closing Date, $2.5 million of Legacy FaZe’s 2020 Convertible Promissory Notes, with $0.2 million accrued interest, were converted into 546,220 2022 B. Riley Term Loan In March 2022, Legacy FaZe entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement with B. Riley Commercial Capital, LLC (“B. Riley Lender”), an affiliate of B. Riley 150, pursuant to which Legacy FaZe received a term loan in the amount of $10.0 million in a single advance (“Initial Term Loan”). Upon receipt of a borrowing notice from Legacy FaZe to B. Riley Lender in April 2022, B. Riley Lender issued Legacy FaZe a second advance of $10.0 million (“Final Term Loan”). The maturity date is the Closing Date of the Merger Agreement. The 2022 B. Riley Term Loan accrues interest at a rate of 7.00% per annum, compounded quarterly, with such interest accrued on the last business day of each calendar quarter, and shall be paid in cash on the maturity date and is secured against substantially all assets of Legacy FaZe. As a result of the Business Combination, on the Closing Date, the Company paid the $20.0 million 2022 B. Riley Term Loan and $0.4 million of accrued interest with the proceeds of the Merger. 2020 Paycheck Protection Program Loan In May 2020, Legacy FaZe entered into a Promissory Note dated May 4, 2020 (the “PPP Loan”) with Harvest Small Business Finance, LLC (“Harvest”), pursuant to which Harvest agreed to make a loan to Legacy FaZe under the Paycheck Protection Program offered by the U.S. Small Business Administration in a principal amount of $1.1 million pursuant to Title 1 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan proceeds are available to be used to pay for payroll costs, including salaries, commissions and similar compensation, group health care benefits and paid leaves, rent, utilities, and interest on certain other outstanding debt. Legacy FaZe is required to make principal and interest payments in monthly installments, beginning ten months after the last day of the covered period, on the balance that is not forgiven. The loan matures in May 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum. As a result of the Business Combination, on the Closing Date, the Company paid the $1.1 million of outstanding PPP Loan and $24,760 of accrued interest with the proceeds of the Merger.

INCOME TAXES | 14. The Company’s income and losses before income taxes in 2022 and 2021, respectively, consist of income and losses from domestic operations. Income/(Loss) before income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, consisted of the following: (in thousands) Year Ended Year Ended United States (168,534 ) (36,866 ) Foreign — — Income/(Loss) before income taxes (168,534 ) (36,866 ) The table below presents the components of the provision for income taxes: Year Ended Year Ended Current Federal 0 0 State 0 0 Foreign 0 0 Total Current 0 0 Deferred US Federal 0 0 US State 0 0 Foreign 0 0 Total Deferred 0 0 Total Provision/(Benefit) 0 0 A reconciliation of income tax expense (benefit) computed at the statutory federal income tax rate to income taxes as reflected in the consolidated financial statements is as follows: Year Ended Year Ended Tax provision at statutory rate 21.0 % 21.0 % State taxes, net of federal benefit 2.0 % 6.9 % Permanent Items (0.0 )% (0.2 )% 162(m) Limitations (0.6 )% 0.0 % Equity Compensation 0.2 % (0.1 )% Deferred Adjustments (1.7 )% (0.1 )% Return to provision adjustments (0.1 )% (0.0 )% Nondeductible Loss on Debt Extinguishment (14.4 )% 0.0 % Increase/(decrease) in valuation reserve (6.4 )% (27.5 )% Effective income tax rate 0.0 % 0.0 % Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 are comprised of the following (in thousands): As of December 31, 2022 2021 Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards 34,934 20,840 Capitalized Sec. 174 Costs 67 — Equity based compensation 1,272 1,115 Accruals 953 3,156 Lease Liability 720 — Nondeductible Interest Carryover 2,089 1,148 Deferred Rent — 2 Deferred Revenue — 2,211 Fixed Assets 99 85 Other 173 140 Total Deferred Tax Assets 40,307 28,697 Less: Valuation Allowance (39,553 ) (28,697 ) Deferred tax asset, net $ 754 $ — Deferred tax Liabilities: Right of Use Asset (754 ) — Total deferred tax liabilities (754 ) — Deferred taxes — — The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence, bearing upon its ability to realize its deferred tax assets, which are comprised primarily of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits. Management has considered the Company’s history of cumulative net losses in the United States, estimated future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of its US federal and state deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established against these net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company reevaluates the positive and negative evidence at each reporting period. The Company’s valuation allowance increased during 2022 by approximately $10.9 million, primarily due to net operating losses that were generated in the current year. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryovers of $123.8 million and $73.3 million respectively, which may be available to reduce future taxable income. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) will generally allow losses incurred after 2017 to be carried over indefinitely but will generally limit the net operating loss deduction to the lesser of the net operating loss carryover or 80% of a corporation’s taxable income (subject to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). Also, there will be no carryback for losses incurred after 2017. Losses incurred prior to 2018 will generally be deductible to the extent of the lesser of a corporation’s net operating loss carryover or 100% of a corporation’s taxable income and be available for twenty years from the period the loss was generated. The Company has federal net operating losses generated following 2017 of $122.8 million, which do not expire. The federal net operating losses generated prior to 2018 of $1.0 million will expire at various dates through 2037. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company also had U.S. state net operating loss carryovers of $128.0 million and $129.4 million respectively, which may be available to offset future income tax liabilities and expire at various dates through 2038. The utilization of the Company’s NOLs are subject to annual Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limitations. The Company has not yet completed a 382 study as of December 31, 2022 . As the Company is in a full valuation allowance, any limitation that may apply due to Section 382 limitation would not affect the conclusion of a full valuation allowance. At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any significant uncertain tax positions. The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions and no amounts have been recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The Company does not anticipate a material change to unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. All of the Company’s tax years will remain open for examination by the Federal and state tax authorities to the extent that the Company’s tax attributes are utilized in future years to offset income or income taxes. The Company is currently not under examination from any taxing authority. In response to the COVID -19 On December 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (“Consolidated Appropriations Act”) into law. The Consolidated Appropriations Act is intended to enhance and expand certain provisions of the CARES Act, allows for the deductions of expenses related to the Payroll Protection Program funds received by companies, and provides an update to meals and entertainment expensing for 2021 and 2022. The Consolidated Appropriations Act did not have a material impact to the Company’s income tax provision for 2022 or 2021. |

At the specific title level, the Company tests the content asset for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that its fair value may be less than its unamortized cost. If the carrying value of a content asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment charge will be recorded in the amount of the difference. The Company’s policy is to amortize the content asset once the content airs. Given that the content was fully written off prior to airing, no amortization expense was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company does not own any purchased or licensed programming content. Exploitation costs such as marketing, advertising, publicity, promotion, and other distribution expenses directly connected with the distribution of the content asset are expensed as incurred. | Content Asset, net The Company produces programming content which it plans to broadcast on online video and streaming platforms.

Each title is predominantly monetized on its own. At the specific title level, the Company tests the content asset for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that its fair value may be less than its unamortized cost. If the carrying value of a content asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment charge will be recorded in the amount of the difference.

Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1.1 million to write off the entire carrying value of content asset. As such, the Company has no content asset balance as of December 31, 2022. Content asset balance as of December 31, 2021 was $0.5 million.

Revenue Recognition and Contract Balances | Revenue Recognition and Contract Balances Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s payment terms and conditions vary by customer and contract type. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between the Company’s transfer of a promised product or service to the Company’s customer and payment for that product or service will be one year or less. The Company generally records a receivable related to revenue when the Company has an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment. Contract assets arise from contracts when revenue is recognized over time and the amount of revenue recognized, including management’s estimate of variable consideration that has been included in the transaction price exceeds the amount billed to the customer. These amounts are included in contract assets until the right to payment is no longer conditional on events other than the passage of time. These contract assets are reclassified to receivables when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. For the three months ending March 31, 2023, and 2022, no impairment was recorded from contract assets. The Company’s allowances for doubtful accounts are typically immaterial and, if required, are based on management’s best estimate of expected credit losses inherent in the Company’s accounts receivable balance. Contract liabilities are recorded in the event that the Company bills for services in advance of the time the services are performed, or when cash payments are received or due in advance of satisfying the Company’s performance obligations, even if amounts are refundable. Contract liabilities recorded at March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, represent the Company’s accounting for the timing difference between when the customer is billed or funds are received and when the performance obligation is satisfied. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $2.6 million and $3.0 million as revenue that was relating to the contract liability balance as of January 1, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Accordingly, previously reported financial statements, including footnote disclosures, have not been recast to reflect the application of the new standard to all comparative periods presented. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting as a lessee. The Company elected to utilize the practical expedient to not separate lease and non -lease -term Adoption of the new lease standard on January 1, 2022 had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
