CANTERBURY PARK HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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:

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.

7

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, 2016,2018, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K10‑K (the “2016“2018 Form 10-K”10‑K”).

The condensed consolidated balance sheets and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and the cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 20162018 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, statement of stockholders’ equity, and cash flows at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 20162018 and for the periods then ended have been made.

Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted the requirements of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No 2016‑02, Leases as discussed in Note 2. All amounts and disclosures set forth in this Form 10‑Q have been updated to comply with the new standards.

SummaryRestricted Cash – Restricted cash represents refundable deposits and amounts due to horsemen for purses, stakes and awards, and amounts accumulated in card game progressive jackpot pools, the player pool and poker promotional fund to be used to repay card players in the form of Significant Accounting Policies –A detailed descriptionpromotions, giveaways, prizes, or by other means. Restricted cash also includes two deposits related to its development operations. One deposit is an escrow account with a bank to fund the road construction on Shenandoah Drive. This account is to ensure the Company completes the construction of our significant accounting policies canthe road that allows access to the first phase of the Doran Canterbury I apartment complex. Funds from the escrow account will be foundreleased to the Company as progress billings from the contractor are received. The Company also recorded a deposit with a bank to assist Doran Canterbury to complete financing for a construction loan. The bank will release the deposit back to the Company when the construction loan is repaid by Doran Canterbury I and converted into a term loan. Because the Company expects this to occur in our most recent Annual Report filed2021 or 2022, the Company classified this as long term restricted cash on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. There were no material changes in significant accounting policies during the quarter ended September 30, 2017.its consolidated balance sheet.

6


 

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

Payable to a repurchase right.

Reclassifications –Prior period financial statement amounts have been reclassified 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,Minnesota Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association (“MHBPA”), the Company transferred into a trust account or paid directly to the MHBPA, $5,313,888$1,260,000 and $6,273,000$1,090,000 for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 2016,2018, 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.

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 would not differ materially from what would result if the guidance were applied on 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.

The Company offers certain promotional allowances at no charge to patrons who participate in its player rewards program.

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

7


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. 

 

Recent2.    ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementIn November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash. The new standard requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally describedas restricted cash. Entities will also be required to reconcile to the balance sheet and disclose the nature of the restrictions. The guidance will become effective in 2018. While we are continuing to assess all potential impacts of the standard, we believe the most significant impact relates to the presentation of our statement of cash flows where we will be required to reconcile to total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. Currently, our statement of cash flows reconciles to total cash and cash equivalents.

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.

Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, (“ASC 842”) which addresses the recognition and measurement of leases. Under the new guidance, for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases), at the commencement date, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to control the use of a specified asset for the lease term. The effective date for this update is for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. ASC 842 requires companiesa transition adoption election using either (1) a modified retrospective approach with periods prior to generally recognizethe adoption date being recast or (2) a prospective adoption approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment recognized to the opening balance of retained earnings on the adoption date with prior periods continuing to be reported under previous lease accounting guidance.

The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 using the prospective adoption approach, and therefore, comparative periods will continue to be reported under previous lease accounting guidance consistent with previously issued financial statements. The Company also elected to adopt the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within ASC 842, which among other things, allows us to carry forward the historical lease identification, lease classification and treatment of initial direct costs for leases entered into prior to January 1, 2019. We have also made an accounting policy election to not record short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-usefor all classes of underlying assets. ASU 2016-02 is effective inThe adoption of ASC 842 did not have a material impact on our first quarterconsolidated financial statements.  Refer to Note 11 for further detail.

Summary of fiscal 2019 onSignificant Accounting Policies

Except for the accounting policies for leases that were updated as a modified retrospective basis and earlier adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impactresult of our pending adoption of ASU 2016-02recently 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, 2018 filed with the SEC on March 29, 2019, that have had a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

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.

2.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION 

Long Term Incentive Plan and Award of Deferred Stock

The Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTI Plan”) authorizes the grant of Long Term Incentive Awards that provide an opportunity to Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”) and other Senior Executives to receive a payment in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock to the extent of achievement at the end of a period greater than one year (the “Performance Period”) as compared to Performance Goals established at the beginning of the Performance Period.

Period. Currently, there are three awards outstanding that are for three-year periods ending December 31, 2019, 2020, and 2021.

Board of Directors Stock Option, Deferred Stock Awards, and Restricted Stock Grants

The Company’s Stock Plan currently authorizes annual grants of restricted stock, deferred stock, and stock options, or any combination of the three, to non-employee members of the Board of Directors at the time of the Company’s annual shareholdersshareholders’ meeting as determined by the Board prior to each such meeting. Options granted under the Plan generally expire 10 years after the grant date. Restricted stock and deferred stock grants generally vest 100% one year after the date of the annual meeting at which they were granted, are subject to restrictions on resale for an additional year, and are subject to forfeiture if a board member terminates his or her board service prior to the shares vesting. The Board of Directors’ unvested restricteddeferred stock awards as of September 30, 2017 was 11,264March 31, 2019 consisted of 7,456 shares with a weighted average fair value per share of $10.65.$16.10. There were no unvested restricted stock or stock options outstanding at September 30, 2017 or DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2019.

Deferred Stock Awards

Prior to January 1, 2016 the Company’s Board awarded deferred compensation to executive officers and key employees that were not performance-based, in the form of Deferred Stock awards under the Company’s Stock Plan. Such deferred stock awards are subject to forfeiture if an employee terminates employment prior to the vesting. Generally, the awards vest ratably over a four-year period and compensation costs are recognized over the vesting period. Compensation costs are recorded in “Salaries and benefits” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2017, 4,500 shares were not vested with a weighted average fair value of $10.46 per share.

Stock-based compensation expense related to the LTI Plan, deferred stock awards and restricted stock awards areis included on theCondensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and totaled $264,000$90,000 and $179,000$103,000 for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 2016,2018, respectively.

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.

10


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 

8.    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 the first quarter of 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 it unlikely that the likelihood that theany breach of a covenant will occur, and that therefore the possibility that the Company will be required to pay the specified amount related to suchany covenant breach 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, 2017March 31, 2019 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 

In August 2018, the Company entered into a Contract for Private Redevelopment with the City of Shakopee in connection with a Tax Increment Financing District (“TIF District”). The Company is obligated to construct certain infrastructure improvements within the TIF District, and will be reimbursed by the City of Shakopee by future tax increment revenue generated from the developed property. The total amount of funding that Canterbury will be paid as reimbursement under the TIF program for these improvements is not guaranteed and will depend on future tax revenues generated from the developed property. 

 

9.    COOPERATIVE MARKETING AGREEMENT

As discussed above in Note 7,8, on June 4, 2012, the Company entered into the CMA with the SMSC.  The primary purpose of the CMA is to increase purses paid during live horse racing at Canterbury Park’s Racetrack in order to strengthen Minnesota’s thoroughbred and quarter horse industry. 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.

12

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 ninethree months of 20172019 and 2016,2018, respectively, primarily for purse enhancements for the live race meets in the respective years.

12


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

In the CMA, the SMSC paid the Company $1,581,000 and $1,197,000 for marketing purposes during the nine months ended September 30,first quarter of 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

In each of January 2015, 2016, 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 20182020 through 2022:

 

Year Purse Enhancement Payments to Horsemen1 Marketing Payments to Canterbury Park

Under the CMA, the Company agreed for the term of the CMA, which is currently scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2022, that it would not promote or lobby the Minnesota legislature for expanded gambling authority and will support the SMSC’s lobbying efforts against expanding gambling authority.

 

10.  REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT

Equity Investment

On April 2, 2018, the Company’s subsidiary Canterbury Development LLC, entered into an Operating Agreement (“Operating Agreement”) with an affiliate of Doran Companies (“Doran”), a national commercial and residential real estate developer, as the two members of a Minnesota limited liability company named Doran Canterbury I, LLC (Doran Canterbury I). Doran Canterbury I was formed as part of a joint venture between Doran and Canterbury Development LLC to construct an upscale apartment complex on land adjacent to the Company’s Racetrack (the “Project”). Doran Canterbury is developing Phase I of the Project, which will include approximately 300 units, a heated parking ramp, and a clubhouse.

In connection with the execution of the Amended Doran Canterbury I Agreement, on August 18, 2018, Canterbury Development LLC entered into an Operating Agreement with Doran Shakopee, LLC as the two members of a Minnesota limited liability company entitled Doran Canterbury II, LLC (“Doran Canterbury II”). Under the Doran Canterbury II Operating Agreement, Doran Canterbury II will pursue development of Phase II of the Project, which is expected to begin upon rental stabilization of Phase I. Phase II will include an additional 300 apartment units. Canterbury Development’s equity contribution to Doran Canterbury for Phase II will be approximately 10 acres of land. In connection with its contribution, Canterbury Development became a 27.4% equity member in Doran Canterbury II with Doran owning the remaining 72.6%. 

On September 27, 2018, Canterbury Development LLC contributed approximately 13 acres of land as its equity contribution in the Doran Canterbury I joint venture and became a 27.4% equity member. On December 20, 2018, financing for Doran Canterbury I was secured. As the Company is able to assert significant influence, but not

13


control, over Doran Canterbury I’s operational and financial policies, the Company accounts for the joint venture as an equity method investment.

Tax Increment Financing

On August 8, 2018, the City Council of the City of Shakopee, Minnesota approved a Contract for Private Redevelopment (“Redevelopment Agreement”) between the City of Shakopee Economic Development Authority (“Shakopee EDA”) and Canterbury Park Holding Corporation and its subsidiary Canterbury Development LLC in connection with a Tax Increment Financing District (“TIF District”) that the City had approved in April 2018. The City of Shakopee, the Shakopee EDA and the Company entered into the Redevelopment Agreement on August 10, 2018.

Under the Redevelopment Agreement, the Company has agreed to undertake a number of specific infrastructure improvements within the TIF District, including the development of public streets, utilities, sidewalks, and other public infrastructure. More specifically, the Company is obligated to construct improvements on Shenandoah Drive and Barenscheer Boulevard with these improvements required to be substantially complete on or before December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The Redevelopment Agreement provides that if the Company does not proceed with the improvements to Shenandoah Drive on or before December 15, 2018 or the improvements to Barenscheer Boulevard on or before December 15, 2019, the City of Shakopee has the right to construct the improvements itself and assess the Company for the costs of these improvements. As of December 2018, the Company was proceeding with the improvements to Shenandoah Drive. 

Under the Redevelopment Agreement, the City of Shakopee has agreed that a portion of the tax increment revenue generated from the developed property will be paid to the Company to reimburse it for its expense in constructing infrastructure improvements. The total estimated cost of TIF eligible improvements to be borne by the Company is $23,336,500. A detailed Schedule of the Public Improvements under the Redevelopment Agreement, the timeline for their construction and the source and amount of funding is set forth on Exhibit C of the Redevelopment Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The total amount of funding that Canterbury will be paid as reimbursement under the TIF program for these improvements is not guaranteed, however, and will depend on future tax revenues generated from the developed property. As of March 31, 2019, the Company recorded a TIF receivable of $3,608,000.

The Company expects to finance its improvements under the Redevelopment Agreement with funds from its current operating resources and existing credit facility and, potentially, third-party financing sources. 

11.  LEASES

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. The Company leases certain office equipment under finance leases. We also lease equipment related to our horse racing operations under operating leases. For lease accounting purposes, we do not separate lease and nonlease components, nor do we record operating or finance lease assets and liabilities for short term leases.

As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. We recognize expense for

14


operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any variable lease payments, material residual value guarantees or any restrictive covenants.

Lease costs related to operating leases were $2,127 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The total lease expenses for leases with a term of twelve months or less for which the Company elected not to recognize a lease asset or liability was $116,691 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Lease costs included in depreciation and amortization related to our finance leases were $6,234 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Interest expense related to our finance leases were immaterial.

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 the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017:March 31, 2019:

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,March 31, 2019, adjusted EBITDA excluded the gainloss on insurance recoveries. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, adjusted EBITDA excluded the gain on saledisposal of land and gain on insurance recoveries.

Also, higher jackpots on certain games drove increased play.

The CMA contains certainspecific covenants which,that, if breached, would trigger an obligation to repay a specified amount related to such covenant.these covenants. At this time, management believes that the likelihood that the breach of a covenant would occur and that the Company would be required to pay the specified amount related to sucha covenant is remote.

However, if the Company engages in any additional significant real estate development, additional financing would more than likely be required.

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 12 to our consolidated financial statements in our 20162018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.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%66% of our total assets at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019. 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 March 31, 2019.

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.

Legislation:

Legislation:

Minimum Wage Legislation

Legislation that wasIn 2014, Minnesota legislation enacted into law an increase in 2014 increased the minimum wage that must be paid to most company employees from $7.25 to $8.00 on August 1, 2014, and from $8.00 to $9.00 per hour on August 1, 2015. A further increase from $9.00 to $9.50 per hour went into effect on August 1, 2016. In addition, startingCompany employees.  Beginning January 1, 2018, the minimum wage willwas set to increase at the beginning of each year by the rate of inflation with a maximum increase of up to 2.5% per year. The minimum wage for 2019 is $9.86 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 the Company in 2016 and 20172014 through 2018, and will continue to have an adverse impact.impact on the Company. 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 higher prices and diminished service levels may discourage customers from visiting the Racetrack.

Cooperative Marketing Agreement:

On June 4, 2012, the Company entered into the CMA with the SMSC. The primary purpose of the CMA is to increase purses paid during live horse racing at Canterbury Park’s Racetrack in order to strengthen Minnesota’s thoroughbred and quarter horse industry. 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 ninethree months of 20172019 and 2016,2018, 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 and $1,197,000 for marketing purposes during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

21


In each of January 2015, 2016, 2017, and 20172018 the CMA was amended three times 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 20182020 through 2022:

Under the CMA, the Company has agreed for the 10 ½ 10‑year term of the CMA expiring December 31, 2022 that it will not promote or lobby the Minnesota legislature for expanded gambling authority and will support the SMSC’s lobbying efforts against expanding gambling authority.

Redevelopment Agreement:

As mentioned above in note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements, on August 10, 2018, the City of Shakopee, the City of Shakopee Economic Development Authority, and the Company entered into a Redevelopment Agreement in connection with a Tax Increment Financing District (“TIF District”) that the City had approved in April 2018. Under the Redevelopment Agreement, the Company has agreed to undertake a number of specific infrastructure improvements within the TIF District, including the development of public streets, utilities, sidewalks, and other public infrastructure and the City of Shakopee agreed that a portion of the tax revenue generated from the developed property will be paid to the Company to reimburse it for its expense in constructing these improvements.  The Company expects to finance its improvements under the Redevelopment Agreement with funds from its current operating resources and existing credit facility and, potentially, third-party financing sources.

From time-to-time, in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in press releases, and in other communications to shareholders or the investing public, we may make forward-looking statements concerning possible or anticipated future financial performance, prospective business activities or plans whichthat are typically preceded by words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends” or similar expressions. For suchthese forward-looking statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in federal securities laws.

ITEM 3:    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Canterbury Park is not required to provide the information requested by this Item as it qualifies as a smaller reporting company.

 

ITEM 4:    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)      Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 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) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Randall D. Sampson, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2019.  Due to the

23


material weakness in internal controls described below, management concluded that as of March 31, 2019, 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 Rule 13a‑15(f) and 15d‑15(f) of the Securities Exchange 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.

Based on management’s testing and evaluation, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective in the quarter ended September 30, 2018, 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 Note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2018.  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. Under the Doran Canterbury I Operating Agreement, Doran was responsible for securing financing for Doran Canterbury I, and if financing were not secured for Doran Canterbury I, the Company had the ability to withdraw from Doran Canterbury I.  As long as the Company has the right to withdraw its land contribution, the Company was not able to recognize the gain. As of November 14, 2018, financing for Doran Canterbury I had not been secured. Therefore, as of September 30, 2018, the Company could not record (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 the Form 10-Q, the Company 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.

On December 20, 2018, financing for Doran Canterbury I was secured and the Company included a $2.2 million gain on its transfer of land to the Doran Canterbury I joint venture

Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During our 2018 fiscal fourth quarter and 2019 fiscal first quarter, we began implementing a remediation plan to address the material weakness described above. The Company believes that it must acquire additional technical expertise either within the Company or by engaging a third party to help it 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. The Company engaged a third party to assist in the process, but has determined that the remediation plan is not complete as the date of this Form 10-Q.

(b)      Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal 2019 first quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, except that as noted above, the Company is taking steps to remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.
