Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004
1. | Organization and Member Allocations |
Adriaen’s Landing Hotel, LLC, a limited liability company (“Adriaen’s Landing Hotel” or the “Company”) was formed on June 5, 2000 for the purpose of constructing and operating a 409 room Marriott hotel located in Hartford, Connecticut. On March 28, 2002, the operating agreement for Adriaen’s Landing Hotel was amended to include two classes of membership, Class A members; Mystic Hotel Investors, LLC (“MHI”) and Waterford Hospitality Group, LLC (“Waterford Hospitality Group”); and a Class B member; Connecticut Development Authority (“CDA”). It was originally anticipated that the total equity contributions of the members required to complete the first phase of the hotel project would be $32,000,000, of which the Class A members would contribute $30,000,000 and the Class B member would contribute $2,000,000. Based upon the contribution of such amounts, the Class A members would share a 93.75% ownership interest while the Class B member would have a 6.25% ownership interest. Through December 31, 2005, the Class A members have contributed $34,100,000 to the hotel project and the Class B member has contributed $2,000,000. Accordingly, pursuant to the operating agreement, the members’ ownership percentages have changed based upon the increased contributions by the Class A members.
Adriaen’s Landing Hotel’s amended operating agreement expires only upon the unanimous affirmative consent of the members. The members’ respective allocation of income, gains, losses and deductions at December 31, 2005 are as follows:
Mystic Hotel Investors, LLC | | | 47.23 | % |
Waterford Hospitality Group, LLC | | | 47.23 | |
Connecticut Development Authority | | | 5.54 | |
| | | 100.00 | % |
The hotel commenced operations on August 25, 2005.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments which have maturities of three months or less from date of purchase.
Financial instruments which potentially subject Adriaen’s Landing Hotel to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of cash in excess of the financial institution’s insurance limits. Adriaen’s Landing Hotel invests available cash with high credit quality institutions.
Cash in Escrow
Cash in escrow represents amounts held in a construction fund with the State of Connecticut (the “State”) related to the construction of certain foundation, support, utility and other related elements for the hotel project. Amounts are released from escrow as the work progresses based upon the approval of applications for payment of invoiced construction costs.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004
Property, Building and Equipment
Property, building and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed on a straight-line basis over the assets estimated useful life beginning in the year of acquisition or transfer from construction in progress. Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
| Years |
Buildings and building improvements | 15-40 |
Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 5-10 |
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. For assets sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.
Deferred Costs
Certain costs associated with Adriaen’s Landing Hotel’s financings have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the corresponding debt. The cost of franchise rights is being amortized over the term of the franchise agreement.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from rooms, food and beverage, spa and other departments are recognized as the related services are provided.
Pre-opening Expenses
Pre-opening expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
Income Taxes
Adriaen’s Landing Hotel, as a limited liability company, files federal and state income tax returns which indicate each member’s share of taxable income or loss to be reported on each member’s tax return. As a result, no provision for federal and state income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Adriaen’s Landing Hotel’s primary estimates relate to the collectibility of accounts receivable and the useful lives of property, building and equipment.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior-year financial statements to conform to classifications in the current year.
