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 I is developing Phase I of the Project, which will include approximately 300 units, a heated parking ramp, and a clubhouse.

On December 20, 2018, financing for Doran Canterbury I was secured. As the Company is able to assert significant influence, but not control, over Doran Canterbury I’s operational and financial policies, the Company accounts for the joint venture as an equity method investment. 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 II for Phase II was approximately 10 acres of land, which were contributed to Doran Canterbury II on July 30, 2020. See Note 11. In connection with its contribution, Canterbury Development became a 27.4% equity member in Doran Canterbury II with Doran owning the remaining 72.6%. 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 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 Unbridled Avenue (formerly Barenscheer Boulevard) with these improvements required to be substantially complete on or before December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, improvements to Shenandoah Drive were substantially complete. The City of Shakopee has authorized changes to the Redevelopment Agreement and the responsibilities of the Company, but the Company, the City of Shakopee and other parties have not formally entered into an agreement that memorializes these changes. The Company will provide updated disclosure when the parties enter into a new agreement. 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 March 31, 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 June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a TIF receivable of $10,374,000, which represents $9,967,000 of principal and $407,000 of interest. 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.

The Company closed on this transaction in July 2020.
