5. OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company's chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer and President, Randall D. Sampson. The Company has four reportable operating segments: horse racing, Casino, food and beverage, and development. The horse racing segment primarily represents simulcast and live horse racing operations. The Casino segment represents operations of Canterbury Park’s Casino. The food and beverage segment represents food and beverage operations provided during simulcast and live racing, in the 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 the processes to produce those products and services. The Minnesota Racing Commission regulates the horse racing and Casino segments.
Depreciation and amortization, interest, income taxes, and certain other overhead expenses 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 special event days to the horse racing segment for use of the facilities.
