1. OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Business  The Companys 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 Companys 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 Parks 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 Companys 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; Canterbury Park Concession, Inc.; and Canterbury Development, LLC). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Companys annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the 2018 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, 2019 and 2018 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, 2019 and 2018 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. Restricted 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 promotions, 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 the road that allows access to the first phase of the Doran Canterbury I apartment complex. Funds from the escrow account will be released 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 2021 or 2022, the Company classified this as long term restricted cash on its consolidated balance sheet. Deferred Revenue  Deferred revenue includes advance sales related to racing, events and corporate partnerships. Revenue from these advance billings is recognized when the related event occurs or services have been performed. Deferred revenue also includes advanced Cooperative Marketing Agreement (CMA) promotional funds, for which revenue is recognized when expenses are incurred. 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 Horsemens Benevolent and Protective Association (MHBPA), the Company transferred into a trust account or paid directly to the MHBPA, $1,260,000 and $1,090,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to thoroughbred races. Minnesota Statutes provide 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 Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet. Revenue Recognition  The Companys 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 states 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 Companys 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 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.
