INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS [Abstract] |
INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS | NOTE 4. INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS We have invested with others (some of whom are affiliated with our officers and directors) in ten limited partnerships which own and operate ten South Florida based restaurants under our service mark “Flanigan's Seafood Bar and Grill”. In addition to being a limited partner in these limited partnerships, we are the sole general partner of all of these limited partnerships and manage and control the operations of the restaurants except for the restaurant located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida where we only hold a limited partnership interest. Generally, the terms of the limited partnership agreements provide that until the investors' cash investment in a limited partnership (including any cash invested by us) is returned in full, the limited partnership distributes to the investors annually out of available cash from the operation of the restaurant, as a return of capital, up to 25% of the cash invested in the limited partnership, with no management fee paid to us. Any available cash in excess of the 25% of the cash invested in the limited partnership distributed to the investors annually, is paid one-half (½) to us as a management fee and one-half (1/2) to the investors (including us) prorata based upon the investors' investment, as a return of capital. Once all of the investors (including us) have received, in full, amounts equal to their cash invested, an annual management fee becomes payable to us equal to one-half (½) of cash available to be distributed, with the other one half (½) of available cash distributed to the investors (including us) as a profit distribution, pro-rata based upon the investors' investment. As of September 27, 2014, limited partnerships owning four (4) restaurants, (Surfside, Florida, Kendall, Florida. West Miami, Florida and Pinecrest, Florida locations), have returned all cash invested and we receive an annual management fee equal to one-half (½) of the cash available for distribution by the limited partnership. In addition to our receipt of distributable amounts from the limited partnerships, we receive a fee equal to 3% of gross sales for use of our “Flanigan's Seafood Bar and Grill” service mark, which use is authorized only while we act as general partner. This 3% fee is “earned” when sales are made by the limited partnerships and is paid weekly, in arrears.
