NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business – Canterbury Park Holding Corporation’s (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) 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 typically 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 typically 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 are from 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 underutilized land surrounding the Racetrack in a project known as Canterbury Commons™, with approximately 140 acres originally designated as underutilized. 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 direct and indirect subsidiaries Canterbury Park Entertainment, LLC; Canterbury Park Concessions, 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, 2021, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2021 Form 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 March 31, 2022 and 2021 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 March 31, 2022 and 2021 and for the periods then ended have been made.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – A detailed description of our significant accounting policies can be found in our most recent Annual Report on the 2021 Form 10-K. There were no material changes in significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Payable to Horsepersons - The Minnesota Pari-mutuel Horse Racing Act requires the Company 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 Minnesota Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association (“MHBPA”), the Company transferred into a trust account or paid directly to the MHBPA, $
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 (as described below), and import revenue (as described below) contracts to determine whether we are acting as the principal or as the agent when providing services, to determine if we should report revenue on a gross or net basis. An entity acts as a principal if it controls a specified service before that service is transferred to a customer.
For on-track revenue and “import revenue,” that is revenue we generate for racing held elsewhere that our patrons wager on, we are entitled to retain a commission for providing a wagering service to our customers. For these arrangements, we are the principal because 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,” when the wagering occurs outside our premises, our customer is the third party wagering site such as a racetrack, Off Track Betting (“OTB”), or advance deposit wagering (“ADW”) 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.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded as other revenue $
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. Currently, there are
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, 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 shareholders’ meeting as determined by the Board prior to each such meeting. Deferred stock awards represent the right to receive shares of the Company's common stock upon vesting. Options granted under the Plan generally expire years after the grant date. Restricted stock and deferred stock grants to non-employee directors generally vest
Employee Deferred Stock Awards
The Company's Stock Plan permits its Compensation Committee to grant stock-based awards, including deferred stock awards, to key employees and non-employee directors. The Company has made deferred stock grants that vest over to years.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company granted employees deferred stock awards totaling

4. GENERAL CREDIT AGREEMENT
The Company has a general credit and security agreement with a financial institution, which provides a revolving credit line up to $
5. OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company has reportable operating segments: horse racing, Card Casino, food and 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. The food and beverage segment represents food and beverage operations provided during simulcast and live racing, in the Card Casino, and during special events. 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

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company entered into a Cooperative Marketing Agreement (the “CMA”) with the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (“SMSC”), which became effective March 4, 2012, was amended in the first quarter of each of 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and in June 2020 (as described below in Note 7) and will expire on December 31, 2022. The CMA contains certain covenants that, if breached, would trigger an obligation to repay a specified amount related to such covenant. At this time, management believes it unlikely that any breach of a covenant will occur, and that therefore the possibility that the Company will be required to pay the specified amount related to any covenant breach is remote.
Effective on December 21, 2021, the Company entered into a Contribution and Indemnity Agreement ("Indemnity Agreement") with affiliates of Doran Companies ("Doran") in connection with the debt refinancing on the Doran Canterbury I, LLC joint venture. Under the Indemnity Agreement, the Company is obligated to indemnify Doran for loan payment amounts up to $
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 March 31, 2022 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.
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”). On January 25, 2022, the Company received the fully executed First Amendment to the Contract for Redevelopment among the Master Developer, the City and the Authority, which is effective as of September 7, 2021. Under this contract, the Company is obligated to construct certain infrastructure improvements within the TIF District, and will be reimbursed for the cost of TIF eligible improvements by the City of Shakopee by future tax increment revenue generated from the developed property, up to specified maximum amounts. 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.
7. COOPERATIVE MARKETING AGREEMENT
As discussed above in Note 6, on March 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. These payments have no direct impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or operations.
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.
As noted above and affirmed in the Fifth Amendment, SMSC is obligated to make an annual purse enhancement of $
The amounts earned from the marketing payments are recorded as a component of other revenue and the related expenses are recorded as a component of advertising and marketing expense and depreciation in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded $
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.
8. REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT

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 Original Agreement, the Company agreed to undertake a number of specific infrastructure improvements within the TIF District and the City 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. Under the Original Agreement, the total estimated cost of TIF eligible improvements to be borne by the Company was $
On January 25, 2022, the Company received the fully executed First Amendment to the Contract for Private Redevelopment (the “First Amendment”) among the Company, the City of Shakopee, and the Shakopee EDA, which is effective as of September 7, 2021. Under the First Amendment and as part of the authorized changes regarding the responsibilities of the Company and the City, improvements on Unbridled Avenue will be primarily constructed by the City of Shakopee. As a result, the total estimated cost of TIF eligible improvements to be borne by the Company will be reduced by $
A detailed Schedule of the Public Improvements under the First Amendment, the timeline for their construction and the source and amount of funding is set forth in Exhibit 10.1 of the Form 8-K filed on January 31, 2022. The Company expects to substantially complete the remaining Developer Improvements by July 17, 2027 and will be reimbursed for costs of the Developer Improvements incurred by no later than July 17, 2027. The total amount of funding that the Company will be paid as reimbursement under the TIF program for these improvements is not guaranteed, however, and will depend in part on future tax revenues generated from the developed property.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a TIF receivable of approximately $
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.

9. LEASES
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. The Company leases some 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 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 $
Lease costs included in depreciation and amortization related to our finance leases were $

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 typically 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.
COVID-19 Pandemic:
In January 2020, an outbreak of a respiratory illness caused by a new strain of coronavirus was identified. The disease has since spread rapidly across the world, causing the World Health Organization to declare the outbreak a pandemic (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”) on March 12, 2020. Since that time, governments and businesses have taken measures to limit the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, including the issuance of shelter-in-place orders, social distancing measures, travel bans and restrictions, and business shutdowns.
As a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Company temporary suspended all Card Casino, simulcast, food and beverage, and special events operations at Canterbury Park from March 16, 2020 through June 9, 2020 and from November 21, 2020 through January 10, 2021.
In connection with reopening our pari-mutuel, food and beverage, and Card Casino operations, we adhered to social distancing requirements, which included reduced seating at table games and poker and capacity limitations to follow Minnesota state guidelines. Effective May 28, 2021, all capacity limits, restrictions on large gatherings, and other restrictions, which had been implemented in response to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, were lifted and our Racetrack began operating operated under pre-pandemic guidelines. Our Card Casino also began operating without capacity restrictions effective May 28, 2021, but we maintained and intend to maintain certain operational changes and improvements initiated in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
The disruptions arising from the COVID-19 Pandemic had a negative impact on the Company's financial condition and operations for the first half of 2021. However, the Company's revenues began to recover starting in the 2021 second quarter. The strong recovery we experienced in 2021 was a result of increased consumer confidence, reduction in capacity restrictions, and faster than anticipated vaccine roll-outs, as well as the success of initiatives begun during the COVID-19 Pandemic to increase attendance at live racing and other events, enhance the player experience, and recruit higher value players. Although the Company has currently appeared to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the pandemic has caused other global issues that could have a future adverse effect on the Company. Specifically, these issues relate to supply chain issues and labor shortages, which have had some negative impact on our business and may continue to have an impact in the near future. Additionally, the spread of any new COVID-19 variants has had and may in the future have an adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results. As the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the economy and our operations evolves, we will continue to assess the impact on the Company and respond accordingly.
Operations Review for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022:
Revenues:
Total net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $13,638,000, an increase of $4,412,000, or 47.8%, compared to total net revenues of $9,226,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase consists of increases in pari-mutuel, Card Casino, food and beverage, and other revenues as a result of increased visitation as COVID-19 Pandemic restrictions have been lifted, and social distancing measures and operating capacity limitations have ceased. See below for a further discussion of our sources of revenues.
Pari-Mutuel Revenue:

| Total Pari-Mutuel Revenue |
$ | 1,247,000 | $ | 1,154,000 | ||||
Total pari-mutuel revenue increased $93,000, or 8.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to increased business levels, including the fact that we have returned to normalized operations and full capacity as compared to the closure of our operations for 10 days in January 2021 and operating at a limited capacity upon reopening.

The primary source of Card Casino revenue is a percentage of the wagers received from players as compensation for providing the Card Casino facility and services, which is referred to as “collection revenue.” Other Poker Revenue and Other Table Games Revenue presented above includes fees collected for the administration of tournaments and the poker jackpot and amounts earned as reimbursement of the administrative costs of maintaining table games jackpot funds, respectively.
As indicated by the table above, total Card Casino revenue increased $3,496,000, or 50.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to increased visitation as our business recovers from the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic described above, as well as increased table games drop from the successful marketing efforts to recruit higher value players. The increase is also due to an increase in revenue generated from poker tournaments in the 2022 first quarter.
Food and Beverage Revenue:
Food and beverage revenue increased $714,000, or 190.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to increased visitation as our business recovers from the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic described above. Furthermore, the increase is also attributable to hosting larger scale events in the 2022 first quarter, which is more consistent with our pre-COVID food and beverage operations.
Other Revenue:
Other revenue increased $109,000, or 13.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to the reversal of the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic described above, as well as hosting larger scale events in the 2022 first quarter. The increase is partially offset by the Company receiving $515,000 of COVID-19 relief grants in the 2021 first quarter.
Operating Expenses:
Total operating expenses increased $3,258,000, or 41.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase reflects an increase in all of the Company's operating expenses, primarily as a result of the return to normalized operations in the three months ending March 31, 2022 as compared to the prior year which included a temporary suspension of operations through January 10, 2021 and the limitations placed on operations upon reopening. The following paragraphs provide further detail regarding certain operating expenses.
Purse expense increased $461,000, or 47.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to increases in pari-mutuel and Card Casino revenues.
Salaries and benefits increased $1,541,000, or 38.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to an increase in the number of personnel to support our resumption of normalized operations in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as well as the fact that the majority of employees were placed on an unpaid furlough during the first week of 2021.
Cost of food and beverage sales increased $291,000, or 141.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to the increased food and beverage operations as described above.
Advertising and marketing increased $245,000, or 434.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to an increase in advertising spend to support our resumption of normalized operations in the 2022 first quarter.
Other operating expenses increased $303,000, or 44.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to our resumption of normalized operations including hosting special events and poker tournaments in the 2022 first quarter, as well as the fact the Company focused on minimizing discretionary spend in the 2021 first quarter to preserve cash.
The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $606,000 and $252,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We record our quarterly provision for income taxes based on our estimated annual effective tax rate for the year. The increase in our tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily due to an increase in income before taxes from operations. Our effective tax rate was 25.5% and 31.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily the result of favorable discrete items that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
The Company recorded net income of $1,774,000 and $551,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
EBITDA
To supplement our financial statements, we also provide investors with information about our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, each of which is a non-GAAP measure, which excludes certain items from net income, a GAAP measure. We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization. We also compute Adjusted EBITDA, which reflects additional adjustments to Net Income to eliminate unusual or non-recurring items, as well as items relating to our real estate development operations and we believe the exclusion of these items allows for better comparability of our performance between periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 Adjusted EBITDA excluded depreciation, amortization, and interest expense related to equity investments. Neither EBITDA nor adjusted EBITDA is a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as an indicator of our operating performance. 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.
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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Adjusted EBITDA increased $2,125,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is due to increased visitation as COVID-19 Pandemic restrictions have been lifted and social distancing measures and operating capacity limitations have ceased. The increase is also due to increased operational efficiencies that have been implemented since the COVID-19 Pandemic. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenue was 26.0%. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenue, excluding $515,000 other revenue from COVID-19 relief grants, was 16.3%.
Contingencies:
The Company entered into a Cooperative Marketing Agreement (the “CMA”) with the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community, which became effective on March 4, 2012, and was amended in the respective first quarters of 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and June 2020 and will expire December 31, 2022. The CMA contains specific covenants that, if breached, would trigger an obligation to repay a specified amount related to 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 a covenant is remote.
The Company continues to analyze the feasibility of various options related to the development of our underutilized land. The Company may incur substantial costs during the feasibility and predevelopment process, but the Company believes available funds are sufficient to cover the near-term costs. See Liquidity and Capital Resources for more information on liquidity and capital resource requirements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
The Company has a general credit and security agreement with a financial institution, which provides a revolving credit line up to $10,000,000 and allows for letters of credit in the aggregate amount of up to $2,000,000 to be issued under the credit agreement which matures January 31, 2024. The line of credit is collateralized by all receivables, inventory, equipment, and general intangibles of the Company. The line of credit also includes collateral in the form of a Mortgage, Security Agreement, Fixture Financing Statement and Assignment of Leases and Rents. As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding balance on the line of credit was $0. As of March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the general credit and security agreement.
The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balance at March 31, 2022 was $16,857,000 compared to $15,599,000 as of December 31, 2021. The Company believes that unrestricted funds available in its cash accounts, amounts available under its revolving line of credit, along with funds generated from operations and future land sales, will be sufficient to satisfy its liquidity and capital resource requirements for regular operations, as well as its planned development expenses for the next twelve months. However, if the Company engages in any additional significant real estate development, significant improvements to its facilities, the Racetrack or surrounding grounds, or strategic growth or diversification transactions, additional financing would more than likely be required and the Company may seek this additional financing through joint venture arrangements, through incurring debt, or through an equity financing, or a combination of any of these.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $2,937,000, primarily as a result of the following: the Company reported net income of $1,774,000, depreciation of $746,000, a loss from equity investment of $240,000, and stock-based compensation and 401(k) match totaling $262,000. Primarily due to timing, the Company also experienced an increase in accounts payable of $239,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $237,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $1,693,000 primarily as a result of the following: The Company reported net income of $551,000, depreciation of $690,000, loss from equity investment of $638,000, and stock-based compensation and 401(k) match totaling $194,000. the Company also experienced an increase in accrued wages and payroll taxes of $996,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to the timing of our payroll dates as well as the fact the Company's operations were temporarily suspended as of December 31, 2020 resulting in a reduction in payroll costs. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in payables to horsemen of $1,035,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the first three months of 2022 was $1,124,000, primarily due to additions to land, buildings, and equipment and an equity investment contribution. Net cash used in investing activities for the first three months of 2021 was $54,000, primarily for additions to land, buildings, and equipment. This was partially offset by a decrease in related party receivables for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities during the first three months of 2022 was $555,000, primarily due to cash dividends paid to shareholders and payments for taxes of equity awards. Net cash provided by financing activities during the first three months of 2021 was $16,000 due to proceeds from the issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock option awards, partially offset by payments for taxes of equity awards.
Critical Accounting Policies Estimates:
The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. The nature of the estimates and assumptions are material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain factors or the susceptibility of such factors to change. The development and selection of critical accounting estimates, and the related disclosures, have been reviewed with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. We believe the current assumptions and other considerations used to estimate amounts reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are appropriate. However, if actual experience differs from the assumptions and other considerations used in estimating amounts reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the resulting changes could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts - Property Tax Increment Financing "TIF" Receivable
As of March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a TIF receivable on its Consolidated Balance Sheet of approximately $12,668,000, which represents $11,180,000 of principal and $1,488,000 of interest. The TIF receivable requires significant management estimates and judgement pertaining to whether an allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary. The TIF receivable was generated in connection with the Contract for Private Redevelopment, in which the City of Shakopee has agreed that a portion of the future tax increment revenue generated from the developed property around the Racetrack will be paid to the Company to reimburse it for expenses in constructing public infrastructure improvements.
The Company typically performs an annual collectability analysis of the TIF receivable in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of potential uncollectability exist. The Company utilizes the assistance of a third party to assist with the projected tax increments. The quantitative analysis includes assumptions based on the market values of the completed development projects within Canterbury Commons, which derives the future projected tax increment revenue. The Company uses the analysis to determine if the future tax increment revenue will exceed the Company's development costs on infrastructure improvements. As a result of our analysis for the year ended December 31, 2021, management believes the TIF receivable will be fully collectible and no allowance related to this receivable is necessary. There were no indicators of potential uncollectability in the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
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, March 2018, and June 2020 and expires December 31, 2022. See “Cooperative Marketing Agreement” below.
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. These payments have no direct impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or operations.
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.
As noted above and affirmed in the Fifth Amendment, SMSC is obligated to make an annual purse enhancement of $7,380,000 and annual marketing payment of $1,620,000 for 2022.
The amounts earned from the marketing payments are recorded as a component of other revenue and the related expenses are recorded as a component of advertising and marketing expense and depreciation in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded $112,000 in other revenue, incurred $65,000 in advertising and marketing expense, and incurred $47,000 in depreciation related to the SMSC marketing funds. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded $47,000 in other revenue, incurred $23,000 in advertising and marketing expense, and incurred $24,000 in depreciation related to the SMSC marketing funds.
Under the CMA, the Company has agreed for the term of the CMA, which has a stated term ending 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 8 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.
On January 25, 2022, the Company received the fully executed First Amendment to the Contract for Private Redevelopment among the Company, the City of Shakopee, and the Shakopee EDA, which is effective as of September 7, 2021. Under the First Amendment and as part of the authorized changes regarding the responsibilities of the Company and the City, improvements on Unbridled Avenue will be primarily constructed by the City of Shakopee. As a result, the total estimated cost of TIF eligible improvements to be borne by the Company will be reduced by $5,744,000 to an amount not to exceed $17,592,881.
Forward-Looking Statements:
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 that are typically preceded by words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends” or similar expressions. For these forward-looking statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in federal securities laws. Shareholders and the investing public should understand that these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could affect our actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
| ● |
Pure Enhancement Payments and Marketing Payments under our CMA with SMSC may not continue after 2022. |
| ● |
Our CMA with SMSC contains both affirmative and negative covenants that restrict our business and limit our ability to pursue certain changes to gaming laws, even if such activities or changes would be in the best interests of our company. |
| ● |
The COVID-19 Pandemic has materially adversely affected the number of visitors at our facility and disrupted our operations, and we expect this adverse impact to continue until the COVID-19 Pandemic is contained. |
| ● |

Financial results for the 2021 first quarter reflect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the state-mandated closure of Canterbury Park January 1, 2021 through January 10, 2021. Canterbury Park re-opened on January 11, 2021 with a capacity limitation of 150 guests per designated area; the capacity limitation was subsequently increased on February 13, 2021 to 250 guests per designated area. First quarter 2022 reflects no closures or capacity limitations. |
|

Net revenues and net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 include $515,000 in grant funds received as a result of the Minnesota COVID-19 relief package that was passed into law in December 2020. |
|

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, excludes certain items from net income, a GAAP measure.

Definitions, disclosures, and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial information are included later in the release. |
Management Commentary
“Canterbury Park’s record first quarter results highlight the underlying strength of our operations as we continue our post-pandemic recovery. Revenue grew 48% year over year to $13.6 million in the quarter and adjusted EBITDA grew 149% year over year to $3.5 million, representing our second highest ever adjusted EBITDA quarter,” said Randy Sampson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Canterbury. “The strong first quarter financial performance was driven by ongoing momentum in our Card Casino operations where we continue to benefit from higher levels of visitation and spend per visit, with trips from rated players rising 32%. In addition, our events and food and beverage businesses benefited from a return to a more normalized events calendar, including the return of popular events such as ISOC snowmobile racing, Extreme Horse Skijor races, the M8 Pool Tournament, the Minnesota Deer and Turkey Classic and a first-time event, the Lake Home and Cabin Show.
“We remain focused on managing our cost structure and implementing new operating practices to maintain our increased operating margins, and our success with these efforts is helping to offset inflation and higher labor expense. Our success is noteworthy as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue was a quarterly record 26%, an increase from our previous quarterly record of 24% achieved in the 2021 third quarter. Looking forward, while we expect labor and other cost pressures will continue to present challenges, we are confident that the operational changes we’ve implemented, combined with our team’s tireless efforts to efficiently manage our business and provide guests with great entertainment, has positioned Canterbury Park to maintain higher margins for the remainder of 2022 compared to pre-pandemic periods.
“Momentum at Canterbury Commons™ was evident in the quarter as ongoing development continued and we attracted new real estate development partners. As announced earlier this year, we entered into an agreement to sell 40 acres of land to Swervo Development Corporation (“Swervo”) to develop a 19,000-seat concert amphitheater east of the racetrack facing Canterbury Road. Community response to the project has been favorable and the comprehensive approval process is now underway. We believe the creation of a world class outdoor music venue fits well with our goal of finding complementary development projects that will drive traffic to Canterbury Park and Canterbury Commons. We look forward to continuing our work with Swervo, local authorities, the Minnesota Racing Commission and other stakeholders to move towards full approval of the amphitheater project in the third quarter of 2022. At the same time, our other partners are making consistent progress with their respective residential and commercial developments which we believe highlights Canterbury Commons’ clear pathway towards becoming a vibrant lifestyle and entertainment destination in Shakopee.
“Looking at the balance of 2022, we anticipate continued top-line growth in our existing business as operations further normalize and the busy summer season approaches. We also continue to review strategic transactions where we can leverage our operating expertise and strong financial position to expand the markets we operate in, diversify our business and grow our operating results. As we evaluate these opportunities to further transform our business, we will proceed with long-term shareholder growth as our key guiding principle. Shareholders will also benefit from the ongoing development of Canterbury Commons where we are attracting high-profile tenants and high traffic offerings that are designed to ultimately benefit our entire enterprise. Canterbury Park’s future continues to remain bright, and the year ahead is expected to bring continued growth across our business.”
Canterbury Commons Development Update
Phase I of the upscale Triple Crown Residences at Canterbury Park is approximately 90% leased. Doran Companies has begun construction of Phase II of the project, with construction of the parking structure and utilities now underway. Phase II is expected to be fully completed by Fall 2023, with occupancy available in phases starting in Spring 2023.
Via a joint venture, Greystone Construction and Canterbury Park have now leased 85% of the Greystone headquarters building and continue to make progress on selecting end users for the balance of the 13-acre site. The parties recently signed letters of intent with a brewery operator and a restaurant operator and are currently negotiating leases with them for a new co-tenant, 10,000 square feet building which is currently in the design phase. In March 2022, the joint venture contributed approximately 3.5 acres of land to a development partnership to build 147 units of senior market rate apartments under the brand name Omry. The Omry residential development is expected to be completed by Fall 2023.
Pulte Homes of Minnesota continues to make progress on the 63-unit first phase of its new row home and townhome residences, with sales ongoing and six buildings containing 31 units currently under construction. The closing on the sale to Pulte of the 46-unit second phase is expected to be completed in May 2022. Adjacent to Pulte’s Canterbury Crossings development, Lifestyle Communities is in the pre-sales phase for its new cooperative community (branded “Artessa at Canterbury Park”) which will feature a 56-unit, four-story building with over 5,000 square feet of amenity spaces. Lifestyle Communities plans to begin construction in Fall 2022.
In February 2022, the Company announced plans to sell approximately 40 acres in the northeast corner of the property – along Canterbury Road and Unbridled Avenue – to Minneapolis-based Swervo for the development of a state-of-the-art, 19,000-seat amphitheater, subject to state and local regulatory approvals. Swervo has made significant progress on the planning, infrastructure, architecture and engineering for the project. The Company understands Swervo plans to seek final entitlement and development approvals from the Shakopee Planning Commission and City Council in the third quarter of 2022. Assuming the approvals are granted, the planned amphitheater could open as early as 2023. Furthermore, Canterbury continues to refine its barn and dormitory reconstruction plans which it expects to present to the Minnesota Racing Commission for approval in the third quarter of 2022.
Developer and partner selection for the remaining 40 acres of Canterbury Commons continues. The primary focus for future projects will be on entertainment, office, retail, hotel, and restaurant uses. Canterbury expects to make additional new partner announcements in the future.
Summary of 2022 First Quarter Operating Results
Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased 47.8% to $13.6 million, compared to $9.2 million in the same period last year. The year-over-year increase reflects improved performance across the Company’s operations, the success of targeted marketing efforts, and an expanded 2022 first quarter events calendar which helped drive higher visitation and spend in other areas of the Company’s operations.
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $11.2 million, an increase of $3.3 million, or 41.0%, compared to operating expenses of $8.0 million for the same period in 2021. The year-over-year increase reflects a full quarter of normal operations compared to the prior year period which was impacted by the temporary shutdown of operations from January 1 through January 10, 2021 and capacity limits during the quarter.
The Company recorded a loss from equity investment of $240,000 and $638,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily related to its share of depreciation, amortization, and interest expense from the Doran Canterbury joint ventures that are developing the Triple Crown Residences. The 2022 first quarter loss was partially offset by a one-time gain recorded from the Canterbury DBSV joint venture as a result of Canterbury DBSV transferring a parcel of land to another joint venture for the Omry development.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $606,000 and $252,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The Company recorded net income and diluted earnings per share of $1.8 million and $0.36, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company recorded net income and diluted earnings per share of $551,000 and $0.12, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, increased 149.4% to $3.5 million in the 2022 first quarter, compared to $1.4 million in the 2021 first quarter.
Additional Financial Information
Further financial information for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 is presented in the accompanying tables at the end of this press release. Additional information will be provided in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial statements, we also provide investors with information about our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, each of which is a non-GAAP measure, which excludes certain items from net income a GAAP measure. We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, as well as excluding depreciation and amortization related to equity investments, interest expense related to equity investments, and grant money received from the Minnesota COVID-19 relief package. Neither EBITDA nor adjusted EBITDA is a measure of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as an indicator of our operating performance. We have presented EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because it is a widely used measure of performance and basis for valuation of companies in our industry. Other companies that provide EBITDA information may calculate EBITDA differently than we do. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because it enables investors to understand our results excluding the effect of these items.
