CANTERBURY PARK HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

 

1.OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

 

Overview; Reorganization - Canterbury Park Holding Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Minnesota corporation in October 2015. The Company is a successor corporation to another corporation, also named Canterbury Park Holding Corporation, that was incorporated in 1994 (“CPHC”). Effective as of the close of business on June 30, 2016 CPHC’s business and operations were reorganized into a holding company structure (the “Reorganization”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 1, 2016 that was approved by CPHC’s shareholders on June 28, 2016. Pursuant to the Reorganization:1.OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company replaced CPHC as the public company owned by CPHC’s shareholders, with each shareholder at June 30, 2016 owning the same number of shares and having the same percentage ownership in the Company (and, indirectly, in all property and other assets then owned by CPHC) immediately after the Reorganization as that shareholder had in CPHC immediately before the Reorganization.

The Company became the holding company for and parent company of two subsidiaries, Canterbury Park Entertainment LLC (“EntertainmentCo”) and Canterbury Development LLC (“DevelopmentCo”).

EntertainmentCo is the surviving business entity in a merger with CPHC pursuant to the Reorganization and it became the direct owner of all land, facilities, and substantially all other assets related to the CPHC’s pari-mutuel wagering, Card Casino, concessions and other related businesses (“Racetrack Operations”), and EntertainmentCo continues to conduct these businesses consistent with CPHC’s past practices and will continue to be subject to direct regulation by the Minnesota Racing Commission (“MRC”).

DevelopmentCo will continue CPHC’s efforts to commercially develop approximately 140 acres of land currently owned or controlled that is not needed for our Racetrack Operations. DevelopmentCo is not subject to direct regulation by the MRC.

On July 1, 2016 the shares of the Company’s common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “CPHC.”

For purposes of this Report on Form 10-Q, when the term “Company” is used with reference to information covering or related to periods up to and including June 30, 2016, such term refers to the operations of CPHC prior to the Reorganization.

Business– The Company’s Racetrack operations are conducted at facilities located in Shakopee, Minnesota, approximately 25 miles southwest of downtown Minneapolis. In May 1994, the Company commenced year-round horse racing simulcast operations and hosted the first annual live race meet during the summer of 1995. The Company’s live racing operations are a seasonal business as it hosts live race meets each year from May until September. The Company earns additional pari-mutuel revenue by televising its live racing to out-of-state racetracks around the country. Canterbury Park’s Card Casino operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is limited by Minnesota State law to conducting card play on a maximum of 80 tables. The Card Casino currently offers a variety of poker and table games. The Company’s three largest sources of revenues include: Card Casino operations, pari-mutuel operations and food and beverage sales. The Company also derives revenues from related services and activities, such as admissions, advertising signage, publication sales, and from other entertainment events and activities held at the Racetrack. Additionally, the Company is developing approximately 140 acres of underutilized land surrounding the Racetrack in a project known as Canterbury Commons. The Company is pursuing several mixed-use development opportunities for this land, directly and through joint ventures.



Basis of Presentation and Preparation – The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company (Canterbury Park Holding Corporation and its subsidiaries Canterbury Park Entertainment, LLC,LLC; Canterbury Park Concession, Inc.; and Canterbury Development, LLC). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016,2017, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2016“2017 Form 10-K”).



The condensed consolidated balance sheets and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and the cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 20172018 and 20162017 have been prepared by Company management. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments, except where noted) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at September 30, 20172018 and 20162017 and for the periods then ended have been made.

All amounts and disclosures set forth in this Form 10-K for10-Q have been updated to comply with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. There were no material changes in significant accounting policies during the quarter ended September 30, 2017.new standards.



Deferred Revenue –Deferred revenue includes advance sales related to racing, events and corporate partnerships.Revenue from these advance billings areis recognized when the related event occurs or services have been performed. Deferred revenue also includes advanced Cooperative Marketing Agreement (“CMA”) promotional funds, andfor which revenue is recognized when expenses are incurred.The Company maintains a deferred gain on sale of land of $240,000 due to aits repurchase right. On October 6, 2018, the Company’s repurchase right for this land expired.  



Reclassifications –Prior period financial statement amounts have been reclassifiedPayable to conform to current period presentations. Deferred revenue amounts have been reclassified on the December 31, 2016Consolidated Balance Sheets toDeferred revenue fromAccounts payable in the amount of approximately $569,000. Also, certain amounts due to horsepersons have been reclassified from accounts payable to payable to horsepersons and certain amounts have been reclassified from card casino accruals to accrued wages and payroll taxes, which impacted the changes of these items on theConsolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Due to Minnesota Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association, Inc. (“MHBPA”)Horsepersons - The Minnesota Pari-mutuel Horse Racing Act specifies thatrequires the Company is required to segregate a portion of funds (recorded as purse expense in the statements of operations), received from Card Casino operations and wagering on simulcast and live horse races, for future payment as purses for live horse races or other uses of the horsepersons’ association. Pursuant to an agreement with the MHBPA, the Company transferred into a trust account or paid directly to the MHBPA, $5,313,888$5,861,000 and $6,273,000$5,314,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively, related to thoroughbred races. Minnesota Statutes specifyprovide that amounts transferred into the trust account are the property of the trust and not of the Company, and therefore these amounts are not recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Reclassifications – Prior period financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentations. Certain amounts due to horsepersons have been reclassified on the December 31, 2017 Consolidated Balance Sheets to Payable to Horsepersons from Due to MHBPA. This reclassification has also been reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Workers compensation amounts have been reclassified from other operating expenses to salaries and benefits on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

2.   ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementPronouncements

In November 2016, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows:Flows (Topic 230) – Restricted Cash. The new standardCash. ASU 2016-18 requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally describedas restricted cash. Entities will also be required to reconcile tocash or restricted cash equivalents when reconciling the balance sheetbeginning-of-period and discloseend-of-period total amounts shown on the naturestatement of cash flows. As a result of the restrictions. The guidance will become effective in 2018. Whileadoption of ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2018, we are continuing to assess all potential impactsbegan combining amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. See the table at the end of this note for the effects of the standard, we believe the most significant impact relates to the presentationadoption of ASU 2016-18 on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606"). Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 605, Revenue Recognition ("Topic 605"), and requires the recognition of revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the considerations to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Collectively, we refer to Topic 606 as the "new standard."

We adopted the requirements of the new standard as of January 1, 2018, using the full retrospective method. Adoption of the new standard resulted in changes to our accounting policies for revenue recognition and promotional allowances as detailed below. We applied the new standard using a practical expedient where the consideration allocated to the remaining performance obligations or an explanation of when we expect to recognize that amount as revenue for all reporting periods presented before the date of the initial application is not disclosed.

The impact of adopting the new standard on our fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 revenues is not material and resulted in no cumulative effect adjustment on net income or cash flows. The primary impact of adopting the new standard is the removal of the promotional allowance line item on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The amounts previously included as promotional allowance are now presented on a net basis within Pari-mutuel revenues.

We adjusted our condensed consolidated financial statements from amounts previously reported due to the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 and ASU No. 2016-18.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Except for the accounting policies for revenue recognition, promotional allowances, and restricted cash that were updated as a result of our recently adopted accounting pronouncements, there have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on March 27, 2018, that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Revenue Recognition – The Company’s primary revenues with customers consist of Card Casino operations, pari-mutuel wagering on simulcast and live horse races, and food and beverage transactions. We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

·

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer

·

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

·

Determination of the transaction price

·

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract

·

Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation

The transaction price for a Card Casino contract is a set percentage of wagers and is recognized at the time that the wagering process is complete. The transaction price for pari-mutuel wagering is the commission received on a wager, exclusive of any track fees and is recognized upon occurrence of the live race that is presented for wagering and after that live race is made official by the respective state’s racing regulatory body. The transaction price for food and beverage contracts is the net amount collected from the customer for these goods. Food and beverage services have been determined to be separate, stand-alone performance obligations and the transaction price is recorded as revenue as the good is transferred to the customer when delivery is made.

Contracts for Card Casino operations and pari-mutuel wagering involve two performance obligations for those customers earning points under the Company’s loyalty program and a single performance obligation for customers who do not participate in the program. The Company applies a practical expedient by accounting for its gaming contracts on a portfolio basis as these wagers have similar characteristics and the Company reasonably expects the effects on the financial statements of applying the revenue recognition guidance to the portfolio will not differ materially from that which would result if applying the guidance to an individual wagering contract. For purposes of allocating the transaction price in a wagering contract between the wagering performance obligation and the obligation associated with the loyalty points earned, the Company allocates an amount to the loyalty point contract liability based on the stand-alone redemption value of the points earned, which is determined by the value of a point that can be redeemed for a cash voucher, food and beverage voucher, racing admission, valet parking, or racing forms. Based on past experience, the majority of customers redeem their points for cash vouchers. Therefore, there are no further performance obligations by the Company.

We have two general types of liabilities related to contracts with customers: (1) our MVP Loyalty Program and (2) outstanding chip liability. These are included in the line item card casino accruals on the consolidated balance sheet. We defer the full retail value of these complimentary reward items until the future revenue transaction occurs.

8


The Company offers certain promotional allowances at no charge to patrons who participate in its player rewards program. The retail value of these promotional items is included as a deduction from pari-mutuel revenues and no longer shown as a separate line item on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We evaluate our on-track revenue, export revenue, and import revenue contracts to determine whether we are acting as the principal or as the agent when providing services, which we consider in determining if revenue should be reported gross or net. An entity is a principal if it controls the specified service before that service is transferred to a customer.

The revenue we recognize for on-track revenue and import revenue is the commission we are entitled to retain for providing a wagering service to our customers. For these arrangements, we are the principal as we control the wagering service; therefore, any charges, including simulcast fees, we incur for delivering the wagering service are presented as operating expenses.

For export revenue, our customer is the third party wagering site such as a race track, OTB, or advance deposit wagering provider. Therefore, the revenue we recognize for export revenue is the simulcast host fee we earn for exporting our racing signal to the third party wagering site.

Additionally, we adopted the clarified scope guidance of ASC 610-20, "Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets" in conjunction with ASU 2014-09, which applies to the sale, transfer and
derecognition of nonfinancial assets and in substance nonfinancial assets to noncustomers, including partial sales, and eliminates the guidance specific to real estate in ASC 360-20. Generally, the Company’s sales of its land would be considered a sale of a nonfinancial asset as defined by ASC 610-20. Under ASC 610-20, the Company will derecognize the asset and recognize a gain or loss on the sale of the land when control of the underlying asset transfers to the buyer. With respect to partial sales of real estate to joint ventures, the new guidance requires us to recognize a full gain where an equity investment is retained. These transactions could result in a basis difference as we will be required to reconcilemeasure our retained equity interest at fair value, whereas the joint venture may continue to total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. Currently, our statement of cash flows reconciles to total cash and cash equivalents.measure the assets received at carryover basis.



In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The guidance will become effective in 2018. We are assessing the impact of the new accounting guidance and currently cannot estimate the financial statement impact of adoption.Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements



In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires companiesthat lessees recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms greater than 12 months in the statement of financial position and also requires improved disclosures to generally recognize onhelp users of financial statements better understand the balance sheet operatingamount, timing and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets.

3.   STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION 

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,which provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The revised guidance will become effective in 2018 and will be applied retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. During 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net); and ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients; which clarified the guidance on certain items such as reporting revenue gross versus net and presentation of sales tax, among other things.We are assessing the impact of the new accounting guidance and currently cannot estimate the financial statement impact of adoption.

6.OPERATING SEGMENTS 

7.   OPERATING SEGMENTS

 

The Company has threefour reportable operating segments: horse racing, Card Casino, and food and beverage.beverage, and development. The horse racing segment primarily represents simulcast and live horse racing operations. The Card Casino segment represents operations of Canterbury Park’s Card Casino, and the food and beverage segment represents food and beverage operations provided during simulcast and live racing, in the Card Casino, and during special and other catering and eventsevents. The development segment represents our real estate development operations. The Company’s reportable operating segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because the segments differ in the nature of the products and services provided as well as process to produce those products and services. The Minnesota Racing Commission regulates the horse racing and Card Casino segments. 



Depreciation, interest and income taxes are allocated to the segments, but no allocation is made to the food and beverage segment for shared facilities.  However, the food and beverage segment pays approximately 25% of gross revenues earned on live racing and special event days to the horse racing segment for use of the facilities.

7.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

 

In accordance with an Earn Out Promissory Note given to the prior owner of the Racetrack as part of the consideration paid by the Company to acquire the Racetrack in 1994, if (i) off-track betting becomes legally permissible in the State of Minnesota and (ii) the Company begins to conduct off-track betting with respect to or in connection with its operations, the Company will be required to pay to the IMR Fund, L.P. the greater of (a) $700,000 per operating year,Operating Year, as defined, or (b) 20% of the net pretax profit,Net Pretax Profit, as defined for each of five operating years.  At this time, management believes that the likelihood that these two conditions will be met and that the Company willwould be required to pay these amounts is remote.  At the date (if any) that these two conditions are met, the five minimum payments willwould be discounted back to their present value and the sum of those discounted payments willwould be capitalized as part of the purchase price in accordance with GAAP.  The purchase price will be further increased if payments become due under the “20% of Net Pretax Profit” calculation.  The first payment is towould be madedue 90 days after the end of the third operating yearOperating Year in which off-track betting is conducted by the Company.  Remaining payments would be made within 90 days of the end of each of the next four operating years.Operating Years. 



The Company entered into a Cooperative Marketing Agreement (the “CMA”) with the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (“SMSC”), which became effective June 4, 2012 and was amended in each of January 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2017,2018, and will expire on December 31, 2022. The CMA contains certain covenants which, if breached, would trigger an obligation to repay a specified amount related to such covenant. At this time, management believes that the likelihood that the breach of a covenant will occur and that the Company will be required to pay the specified amount related to such covenant is remote.



The Company is periodically involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the normal course of business.  Management believes that the resolution of any pending claims and legal actions at September 30, 20172018 and as of the date of this report, will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial positions or results of operations.



8.COOPERATIVE MARKETING AGREEMENT 

9.   COOPERATIVE MARKETING AGREEMENT

Under the CMA, as amended, this is achieved through “Purse Enhancement Payments to Horsemen” paid directly to the MHBPA. SuchThese payments have no direct impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or operations.

Under the terms of the CMA, as amended, the SMSC paid the horsemen $7.2$7.4 million and $6.7$7.2 million in the first nine months of 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively, primarily for purse enhancements for the live race meets in the respective years.

 

Under the CMA, as amended, SMSC also agreed to make “Marketing Payments” to the Company relating to joint marketing efforts for the mutual benefit of the Company and SMSC, including signage, joint promotions, player benefits and events. Under the CMA, the SMSC paid the Company $1,581,000$1,620,000 and $1,197,000$1,581,000 for marketing purposes during the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively.

 

In each of January 2015, 2016, 2017, and 20172018 the CMA was amended to adjust the payment amounts between the “Purse Enhancement Payments to Horsemen” and “Marketing Payments to Canterbury Park.” SMSC is currently obligated to make the following purse enhancement and marketing payments for 20182019 through 2022:

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand Canterbury Park Holding Corporation, our operations, our financial results and financial condition and our present business environment.  This MD&A is provided as a supplement to,  and should be read in conjunction with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements (the “Notes”).   

 

Overview: 

 

Canterbury Park Holding Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) conducts pari-mutuel wagering operations and hosts “unbanked” card games at its Canterbury Park Racetrack and Card Casino facility (the “Racetrack”) in Shakopee, Minnesota, which is approximately 25 miles southwest of downtown Minneapolis. The Racetrack is the only facility in the State of Minnesota that offers live pari-mutuel thoroughbred and quarter horse racing.

 

The Company’s pari-mutuel wagering operations include both wagering on thoroughbred and quarter horse races during live meets at the Racetrack each year from May through September, and year-round wagering on races held at out-of-state racetracks that are televised simultaneously at the Racetrack (“simulcasting”).  Unbanked card games, in which patrons compete against each other, are hosted in the Card Casino at the Racetrack.  The Card Casino operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  The Card Casino offers both poker and table games at up to 80 tables.   The Company also derives revenues from related services and activities, such as concessions, parking, advertising signage, publication sales, and from other entertainment events and activities held at the Racetrack.

Recent Reorganization. The Company was incorporated as a Minnesota corporation in October 2015. The Company is a successor corporation to another corporation, also named Canterbury Park Holding Corporation, that was incorporated in 1994 (“CPHC”). Effective as of the close of business on June 30, 2016, CPHC’s business and operations were reorganized into a holding company structure (the “Reorganization”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 1, 2016 that was approved by CPHC’s shareholders on June 28, 2016.

Further information regarding the Reorganization is set forth at Note 1 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I above and in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-210877) filed with the SEC on April 22, 2016, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

For purposes of this Report on Form 10-Q, when the term “Company” is used with reference to information covering or related to periods up to and including June 30, 2016, such term refers to the operations of CPHC prior to the Reorganization.

Operations Review for theThree and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017:2018:

 

EBITDA

 

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as an indicator of our operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.  EBITDA is presented as a supplemental disclosure because it is a widely used measure of performance and a basis for valuation of companies in our industry.  Moreover, other companies that provide EBITDA information may calculate EBITDA differently than we do.  Adjusted EBITDA reflects additional adjustments to net income to eliminate unusual items. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, adjusted EBITDA excluded the gain on insurance recoveries. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016,2018, adjusted EBITDA excluded the gainloss on saledisposal of landassets and gain on insurance recoveries.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income, a GAAP financial measure, to EBITDA and to adjusted EBITDA (defined above) which are non-GAAP financial measures, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016:2017:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates:

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our assumptions, estimates, and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates, and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.



Our significant accounting policies are included in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in our 20162017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.



Property and Equipment - We have significant capital invested in our property and equipment, which represents 68.9%68% of our total assets at September 30, 2017.2018. We utilizeuse our judgment in various ways including: determining whether an expenditure is considered a maintenance expense or a capital asset; determining the estimated useful lives of assets; and determining if or when an asset has been impaired or has been disposed. Management periodically reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of these assets with their related expected undiscounted future net cash flows. If the sum of the related expected future net cash flows is less than the carrying value, management would determine how much of an impairment loss would be measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. To date, weWe have determined that no impairment of these assets exists.exists at September 30, 2018.

Stock-Based Compensation –Accounting guidance requires measurement of services provided in exchange for a share-based payment based on the grant date fair market value. We utilizeuse our judgment in determining the assumptions used to determine the fair value of equity instruments granted using a Black-Scholes model. The Company also grants Long Term Incentive Awards under the Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTI Plan”) under which Company executive officers and other senior executives have the opportunity to receive a payout of shares of the Company’s common stock at the end of a three-year period. Management must make a number of assumptions to estimate future results to determine the compensation expense of the LTI Plan.

 

Commitments and Contractual Obligations:

 

The Company entered into the CMA with the SMSC on June 4, 2012, that was amended in January 2015, 2016, 2017, and 20172018 and expires December 31, 2022.  See “Cooperative Marketing Agreement” below.

A further increase2015, and from $9.00 to $9.50 per hour went into effect on August 1, 2016. In addition, startingStarting January 1, 2018, the minimum wage will increase at the beginning of each

21


year by the rate of inflation with a maximum increase of up to 2.5% per year. The minimum wage for 2018 is $9.65 per hour. Prior to August 1, 2014, the Company employed a large number of individuals who received an hourly wage equal to or slightly above $7.25 per hour. As a result, this legislation has had an adverse financial impact on us in 2016 and2014 through 2017 and will continue to have an adverse impact.impact on us. We have implemented measures to partially mitigate the impact of this increase by raising our prices and/orand reducing our employee count. However, theseThese measures could themselves have an adverse effect because either higher prices andor diminished service levels may discourage customers from visiting the Racetrack.

ITEM 4:     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 



(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

24


The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Randall D. Sampson and Chief Financial Officer, Robert M. Wolf, have reviewed the Company’sCompany maintains disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this review, these officers have concluded1934) that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effectivedesigned to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Companyit files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in theSEC rules and forms of the SEC and that the disclosure controls are also effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is(ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the chiefits principal executive officer and chiefprincipal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)Changes in Internal Control over In connection with the filing of this Form 10-Q, management evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Randall D. Sampson and Chief Financial Reporting:
There have been no changesOfficer (CFO), Robert M. Wolf, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018. Based on this assessment, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (asas described below. As a result of this material weakness, management concluded that, as of September 30, 2018, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as that term is defined in RulesRule 13a-15(f) underand 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act)Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the Framework. Based on management’s testing and evaluation, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, and as a result, resulted in a material weakness in internal controls. 

The identified material weakness arose as a result of management’s incorrect initial determination of the effective date to recognize the gain associated with the Company’s transfer of land to the Doran Canterbury I joint venture described in Note10 of Notes to Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.  As noted, on September 27, 2018, the Company’s subsidiary Canterbury Development LLC contributed approximately 13 acres of land to Doran Canterbury I as its equity contribution to the joint venture and became a 27.4% equity member.  As stated in the Doran Canterbury I Operating Agreement, Doran is responsible for securing financing for Doran Canterbury I.  If financing is not secured for Doran Canterbury I, however, the Company has the ability to withdraw from Doran Canterbury I. 

As long as the Company has the right to withdraw its land contribution, the Company is not able to recognize the gain. As of September 27, 2018, and as of November 14, 2018, financing for Doran Canterbury I has not been secured.  Therefore, as of September 30, 2018, the Company is not recording (i) any gain associated with investment in this joint venture, or (ii) its interest in this joint venture

Because management initially determined the Company would recognize a  gain associated the Company’s transfer of land to the Doran Canterbury I joint venture and corrected this determination later in connection with finalizing this Form 10-Q, the Company has concluded that a reasonable possibility existed that a material misstatement in the Company’s consolidated financial statements would not have been prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The Doran Canterbury I joint venture is the Company’s first significant venture into real estate development and the agreements associated with these transactions are complex.  The Company initially erred in making and recording the gain for the contribution of land because management did not realize that its ability to reclaim the property if the financing is not secured prevented it from recognizing the income on a current basis.

Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During our 2018 fiscal fourth quarter, we intend to begin implementing the following remediation plan to address the material weakness described above:

The Company believes that it needs to acquire additional technical expertise either within the Company or by engaging third party providers to understand the intricacies of some of the applicable revenue recognition rules in connection with the Doran joint venture and any future joint venture agreements or future Company development efforts.  We have begun a process to acquire this expertise.

(b)

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during ourthe fiscal 2018 third quarter ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, ourthe Company’s internal control over financial reporting.reporting, except as noted above. The Company is taking steps to ensure that it remediates the material weakness by implementing the measures described above.
