INNSUITES HOSPITALITY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2004 AND 2003
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
InnSuites Hospitality Trust (the Trust) is an unincorporated real estate investment trust in the State of Ohio that at July 31, 2004 owned, through a partnership interest in RRF Limited Partnership (the Partnership), six hotels (the Hotels) with an aggregate of 940 suites in Arizona, southern California and New Mexico. The Trust is the sole general partner in the Partnership. The hotels are operated by InnSuites Hotels, Inc. (InnSuites Hotels), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trust.
Effective February 1, 2004, the Trust relinquished its federal tax status as a real estate investment trust (REIT). Following that date, any distributions to its shareholders will not be deductible for purposes of computing the Trusts taxable income and the Trust will be subject to income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on its taxable income at regular corporate rates, without offset for distributions of such income to its shareholders. With the relinquishment of the Trusts REIT status, the Trust will be taxed under the general rules applicable to C corporations.
The Trusts general partnership interest in the Partnership was 57.18% and 51.31% on July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and the weighted average for the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003 was 56.53% and 50.91%, respectively.
PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
The Partnership Agreement of the Partnership (the Partnership Agreement) provides for the issuance of two classes of limited partnership units, Class A and Class B. Such classes are identical in all respects, except that each Class A limited partnership unit in the Partnership shall be convertible into a like number of Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust at any time at the option of the particular limited partner. As of July 31, 2004, a total of 1,189,386 Class A limited partnership units were issued and outstanding. Additionally, a total of 4,467,938 Class B limited partnership units were held by James F. Wirth (Wirth) and his affiliates on that date, in lieu of the issuance of Class A limited partnership units. The Class B limited partnership units may only become convertible with the approval of the Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion. If all of the Class A and B limited partnership units were to be converted, the limited partners in the Partnership would receive 5,657,324 Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements of the Partnership and InnSuites Hotels are consolidated with the Trust, and all significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. From February 1, 2004 through June 8, 2004, financial results of Suite Hospitality Management, Inc. (the Management Company) and InnSuites Licensing Corp. (Licensing Corp.),a wholly owned subsidiary of the Management Company, are consolidated with the Trust in compliance with FASB Interpretation No. 46R, and all significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. After June 8, 2004, consolidation of the financial results of the Management Company and Licensing Corp. is no longer required by FASB Interpretation No. 46R since InnSuites Hotels acquired the management contracts and licensing agreements from the Management Company and the Licensing Corp., respectively, on that date. See Note 8.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended July 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended January 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Trusts Annual Report on Form 10-K/A as of and for the year ended January 31, 2004.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the

reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The accounting policies that the Trust believes are most critical and involve the most subjective judgments include estimates and assumptions of future revenue and expenditures used to project cash flows. Future cash flows are used to determine the recoverability (or impairment) of the carrying values of the Trusts assets in the event management is required to test an asset for recoverability of carrying value under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds the estimated future cash flows over its estimated remaining life, the Trust recognizes an impairment charge to reduce the assets carrying value to its fair value. Fair value is determined by either a current third-party property appraisal, if available, or the present value of future cash flows over the remaining life of the asset. The Trusts evaluation of future cash flows is based on historical experience and other factors, including certain economic conditions and committed future bookings. The estimated future cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about expected future operating performance and may differ from actual cash flows.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Room, Food and Beverage, Telecommunications, and other revenue, are recognized as earned as services are provided and items are sold.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2004, the Trust adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R (FIN 46R), which amended FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements. FIN 46R requires an existing unconsolidated variable interest entity to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary if the entity does not effectively disperse risk among all parties involved or if other parties do not have significant capital to finance activities without subordinated financial support from the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party that absorbs a majority of the entitys expected losses, receives a majority of its expected residual returns, or both, as a result of holding variable interests, which are the ownership, contractual or other pecuniary interests in an entity.
As of February 1, 2004, the Trust recorded a charge for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle resulting from its recognition of the $854,000 net stockholders deficit of the Management Company, which is the Trusts variable interest entity under FIN 46R. The $854,000 charge represents the net effect of the Trust reporting $123,000 in net assets (consisting primarily of receivables) and $977,000 in net liabilities (consisting primarily of debt) upon consolidating the financial results of the Management Company.
All revenue and expense items for the Management Company and Licensing Corp. relating to services provided to the Hotels have been eliminated when their financial results are consolidated with the Trusts results. Revenues and expenses relating to services provided by the Management Company and Licensing Corp. to hotels not owned by the Trust, however, have not been eliminated. Payroll reimbursements shown in the current period represent amounts received from hotels not owned by the Trust.
The effect of consolidating the financial results of the Management Company and Licensing Corp. has been accounted for as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. As a result of consolidating the financial results of the Management Company with its results, as of July 31, 2004, the Trusts financial results include a $854,402 charge for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle on the Statements of Operations resulting in a reduction in its Stockholders Equity which represents the aggregate stockholders deficit reported by the Management Company as of February 1, 2004.
After June 8, 2004, consolidation of the financial results of the Management Company and Licensing Corp. are no longer required by FIN 46R since InnSuites Hotels acquired the management contracts and licensing agreements from the Management Company on that date.
7
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share have been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the periods and potentially dilutive securities.
For the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, there were Class A and Class B limited partnership units outstanding, which are convertible to Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust. Assuming conversion, the aggregate weighted-average number of these additional Shares of Beneficial Interest would be 5,743,322 and 6,486,102 for the first six months of fiscal year 2005 and 2004, respectively. These Shares were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the six months ended July 31, 2004 as there is a loss from continuing operations.
For the three and six months ended July 31, 2004, 241,200 stock options, and for the three and six months ended July 31, 2003, 252,000 stock options, are not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect, since the exercise price exceeds the fair market value.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Partnership is responsible for all expenses incurred by the Trust in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.
As of July 31, 2004 and 2003, Wirth and his affiliates held 4,467,938 and 5,000,974 Class B limited partnership units, respectively. As of July 31, 2004 and 2003, Wirth and his affiliates held 610,563 and 455,000 Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust, respectively.
The Trust paid interest on related party notes to Wirth and his affiliates in the amounts of $406,516 (most of which was accrued in prior periods) and $54,037 for the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Trust recognized interest expense on related party notes to Wirth and his affiliates in the amounts of $88,168 and $277,910 for the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Trust had accrued but unpaid interest on related party notes to Wirth and his affiliates of $3,977 and $463,263 as of July 31, 2004 and January 31, 2004, respectively.
As of July 31, 2004, the Trust had management and licensing fees receivable from related party hotels owned by Wirth of $8,613.
The expenses of the Trust consist primarily of property taxes, insurance, corporate overhead, interest on mortgage debt, professional fees, depreciation of the Hotels and hotel operating expenses. Under the terms of its Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is required to reimburse the Trust for all such expenses. The Partnerships reimbursement of the Trust is eliminated when the financial results of the Partnership and the Trust are consolidated.
Notes and advances payable to related parties consist of funds provided by Wirth and his affiliates to repurchase Partnership units and to fund working capital and capital improvement needs. The aggregate amounts outstanding were approximately $682,000 and $6.9 million as of July 31, 2004 and January 31, 2004, respectively. The notes and advances payable to related parties consist of:

8. PURCHASE OF MANAGEMENT AND LICENSING CONTRACTS
In connection with the Trusts relinquishment of its REIT status, the Trust no longer required the services of a separate management company. The Trust determined it was in its best interest to buyout the management contracts and licensing agreements and directly manage its hotels through the Trusts wholly owned subsidiary, InnSuites Hotels, Inc. As a result of this buyout, the Management Company (the Trusts variable interest entity under FIN 46R) will no longer be consolidated in the second quarter. As of June 8, 2004, all of the Trusts obligations have been satisfied and the Management Company is in the process of being liquidated.
Effective June 8, 2004, InnSuites Hotels acquired the management agreements under which the Management Company provided management services to the Hotels. In consideration of the acquisition, the stockholder of the Management Company received $20,000 and 90,000 Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust, reflecting a transaction value of approximately $159,500 in the aggregate. Following the acquisition, InnSuites Hotels will self-manage the Hotels. The Trust also manages one unrelated hotel in San Diego, California and three related party hotels owned by Wirth.
Effective June 8, 2004, InnSuites Hotels acquired the license agreements under which Licensing Corp. provided licensing services to the Hotels, and the related registered and unregistered InnSuites trademarks and tradenames. In consideration of the acquisitions, the Management Company (as the sole stockholder of Licensing Corp.) received $60,000 and 10,000 Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust and InnSuites Hotels satisfied Licensing Corp.s line of credit in the amount of $459,000, reflecting a transaction value of approximately $534,500 in the aggregate. Following the acquisition, InnSuites Hotels will self-manage the Hotels. The Trust also licenses two unrelated hotels in San Diego and Buena Park, California and three related party hotels owned by Wirth. The Trust paid $459,000 in cash to satisfy the Management Companys line of credit. The additional $80,000 was paid to the Management Company to satisfy the Trusts obligation for the net liabilities of approximately the same amount. The Shares of Beneficial Interest issued by the Trust were valued at $155,000, which amount was recorded as an expense.
9. INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision recorded in the current period in the amount of $109,000 represents Alternative Minimum Taxes incurred on the gain recognized by the Trust upon the sale of hotel properties.
During the current period, approximately $650,000 of the Trusts federal and state net operating losses were used to offset the Trusts otherwise taxable income.
11
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
GENERAL
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the InnSuites Hospitality Trust unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
The Trust owns the sole general partners interest in the Partnership. Prior to May 1, 2004, the Hotels were leased to InnSuites Hotels pursuant to leases which contained provisions for rent based on the revenues of the Hotels (the Percentage Leases). InnSuites Hotels rental payments to the Partnership are eliminated when the financial results of InnSuites Hotels and the Partnership are consolidated with the financial results of the Trust for the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003.
Prior to May 1, 2004, the Trusts principal source of cash flows was distributions from the Partnership, which are dependent upon lease payments pursuant to the Percentage Leases. InnSuites Hotels ability to make payments to the Partnership pursuant to the Percentage Leases was dependent primarily upon the operations of the Hotels. As a result of the Trusts acquisition of InnSuites Hotels as of February 1, 2001, any profits earned by InnSuites Hotels in its operation of the Hotels may be distributed to the Trust. On May 1, 2004, the Partnership and InnSuites Hotels agreed to terminate the Percentage Leases for the Hotels. As a result, the Partnership will operate the Hotels and the operating results of the Hotels will be reflected on the Partnerships financial records. The Trusts election to relinquish its REIT status for federal taxation purposes removed the requirement for the Partnership to lease its hotel properties.
Sale of Tempe, Arizona Hotel
On March 25, 2004, the Trust sold its Tempe, Arizona property to Tempe/Phoenix Airport Resort LLC (Tempe Resort), an affiliate of Wirth, for its appraised and carrying value of $6.8 million. Tempe Resort satisfied the purchase price for the hotel by assuming the Trusts mortgage note on the property of $1.7 million and assuming $5.1 million of the Trusts notes payable to affiliates of Wirth.
Sale of San Diego, California Hotel
On April 1, 2004, the Trust sold its San Diego, California hotel to an unrelated third party for $9.7 million, which was paid in cash. The Trust used $4.8 million of the proceeds to satisfy its mortgage note payable on the property, $1.1 million to satisfy notes payable to related parties, and $700,000 to reduce trade payables, and retained the remaining proceeds to fund future operations and capital improvements. The Trust recognized a gain of $5.2 million on the sale, of which $2.9 million was attributable to Shares of Beneficial Interest.
INCOME TAX
Effective February 1, 2004, the Trust relinquished its federal tax status as a REIT. Following that date, any distributions to its shareholders will not be deductible for purposes of computing the Trusts taxable income and the Trust will be subject to income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on its taxable income at regular corporate rates, without offset for distributions of such income to its shareholders.
As a REIT, the Trust was required to distribute at least 90% of its net taxable income annually in order to maintain its REIT qualification. No such minimum distribution requirements apply to the Trust beginning on February 1, 2004.
With the relinquishment of the Trusts REIT status, the Trust will be taxed under the general rules applicable to C corporations. Consequently, the Trust could pay up to 35% of its taxable income in federal taxes and also pay applicable state taxes. As a C corporation, the Trusts distributions in respect of its Shares of Beneficial Interest will be taxed as dividends to the extent of the Trusts current and accumulated earnings and profits. Distributions in excess of the Trusts current and accumulated profits will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of the shareholders tax basis in his Shares of Beneficial Interest, and the amount of a distribution in excess of the shareholders tax basis will be taxed as a capital gain (a long term capital gain if the shareholder has held the Shares of Beneficial Interest for more than one year). Under the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, the maximum federal income tax rate applicable to dividends and long term capital gains derived from a stock investment is 15%. On the other hand, distributions to corporate shareholders may be eligible for the dividends received deduction, subject to certain limitations in the Internal Revenue Code, whereas distributions from REITs are not eligible for the dividends received deduction.
12
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The expenses of the Trust consist primarily of property taxes, insurance, corporate overhead, interest on mortgage debt, professional fees, depreciation of the Hotels and hotel operating expenses. Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is required to reimburse the Trust for all such expenses. However, the Partnerships reimbursement of the Trust is eliminated when the financial results of the Partnership and the Trust are consolidated. The Percentage Leases provide for the payment of base rent and percentage rent. For the six months ended July 31, 2004, base rent and percentage rent in the aggregate amount of $2.1 million was earned by the Partnership from InnSuites Hotels. However, rent revenue from InnSuites Hotels to the Partnership is eliminated when the financial results of InnSuites Hotels and the Partnership are consolidated with the financial results of the Trust. The principal determinant of percentage rent is InnSuites Hotels room revenue at the Hotels, as defined by the Percentage Leases. On May 1, 2004, the Partnership and InnSuites Hotels agreed to terminate the Percentage Leases for the Hotels. As a result, the Partnership will operate the Hotels and the operating results of the Hotels will be reflected on the Partnerships financial records. Therefore, management believes that a review of the historical performance of the operations of the Hotels, particularly with respect to occupancy, average daily rate (ADR), calculated as total room revenue divided by number of rooms sold, and revenue per available room (REVPAR), calculated as total room revenue divided by the total number of rooms available, is appropriate for understanding revenue from the Hotels. Occupancy increased to 70.5%, an increase of 5.9% from the prior year period due to increased business and leisure travel in all of the Trusts markets. ADR increased $6.00, or 9.0%, from the prior year period due to the recovery in the travel industry. These factors also caused REVPAR to increase $8.19, or 19.0%, from the prior year period.

Total Trust revenue increased $2.0 million, or 20.8%, to $11.4 million from $9.4 million when comparing the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the consolidation of the Management Company and Licensing Corp. revenue and payroll reimbursement revenue in relation to its acquisition of the management contracts totaling $1.6 million into the Trust financials beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2005. Revenues from hotel operations, which include Room, Food and Beverage, Telecommunications and Other revenues, increased $377,000 or 4.0%, due primarily to increased occupancy at the Hotels.

Total expenses increased $1.5 million, or 14.3%, to $12.0 million from $10.5 million when comparing the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003. Total operating expenses increased $1.8 million, or 19.8%, to $10.9 million from $9.1 million for six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increases are due to the consolidation of the Management Company and Licensing Corp. expenses into the Trust financials beginning on February 1, 2004, which resulted in $611,000 of operating expenses and $622,000 of total expenses being included on the Trusts Statement of Operations for the six months ended July 31, 2004, in addition to payroll costs for employees leased to affiliated and third party hotels in conjunction with the Trusts acquisition of the management contracts.
Hotel property depreciation increased $95,000, or 8.6%, to $1.2 million from $1.1 million when comparing the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase was primarily due to an increased asset base due to refurbishment projects at the Hotels.
Total interest expense decreased $275,000, or 19.8%, to $1.1 million from $1.4 million when comparing the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Interest on mortgage notes payable for the six months ended July 31, 2004 of $1.0 million was consistent with the prior year period. Interest on notes payable to banks decreased $38,000, or 77.0%, to $11,000 from $49,000 when comparing the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This decrease was due to the Trust fully satisfying its bank term loan in connection with the sale of the Scottsdale, Arizona property and fully satisfying its bank line of credit in connection with the sale of the Flagstaff, Arizona property during fiscal year 2004. Interest on notes payable and advances payable to related parties decreased $203,000, or 68.5%, to $93,000 from $296,000 when comparing the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease was due to the reduction of debt owed to related parties in connection with the sales of the Scottsdale, Tempe and Flagstaff, Arizona properties.
As of February 1, 2004, the Trust recorded a charge for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle resulting from its recognition of the $854,000 net stockholders deficit of the Management Company, which is the Trusts variable interest entity under FIN 46R. The $854,000 charge represents the net effect of the Trust reporting $123,000 in net assets (consisting primarily of receivables) and $977,000 in net liabilities (consisting primarily of debt) upon consolidating the financial results of the Management Company.

Total Trust revenue increased $1.2 million, or 33.5%, to $4.9 million from $3.7 million when comparing the three months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the revenues derived from the management, licensing and leased labor contracts purchased from the Management Company and Licensing Corp. during the second quarter of fiscal year 2005. Revenues from hotel operations, which include Room, Food and Beverage, Telecommunications and Other revenues, increased $230,000 or 6.2%, due primarily to increased occupancy at the Hotels.
Total expenses increased $1.2 million, or 24.5%, to $6.1 million from $4.9 million when comparing the three months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003. Total operating expenses increased $1.4 million, or 33.3%, to $5.6 million from $4.2 million for three months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increases are due primarily to the payroll expenses resulting from providing leased labor services to non-Trust hotels during the second quarter of fiscal year 2005, in addition to the consolidation of the Management Company and Licensing Corp.
General and administrative expenses increased $322,000, or 37.2%, to $1.2 million from $866,000 when comparing the three months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase was primarily due to expenses incurred for the acquisition of the management and licensing contracts from the Management Company.
14
Hotel property depreciation increased $46,000, or 8.1%, to $612,000 from $567,000 when comparing the three months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase was primarily due to an increased asset base due to refurbishment projects at the Hotels.
Total interest expense decreased $168,000, or 24.5%, to $518,000 from $686,000 when comparing the three months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Interest on mortgage notes payable decreased $23,000, or 4.4%, to $497,000 from $520,000 when comparing the three months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to reduced interest on the Yuma, Arizona property mortgage note caused by a 10% prepayment of the principal paid in June 2004. Interest on notes payable to banks decreased $12,000, or 83.3%, to $2,000 from $15,000 when comparing the three months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This decrease was due to the Trust fully satisfying its bank line of credit in connection with the sale of the Flagstaff, Arizona property during fiscal year 2004. Interest on notes payable and advances payable to related parties decreased $137,000, or 91.8%, to $12,000 from $149,000 when comparing the three months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease was due to the reduction of debt owed to related parties in connection with the sales of the Tempe and Flagstaff, Arizona properties.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Through its ownership interest in the Partnership, the Trust has its proportionate share of the benefits and obligations of the Partnerships ownership interests and operational interests in the Hotels. The Trusts principal source of cash to meet its cash requirements, including distributions to its shareholders, is its share of the Partnerships cash flows. The Partnerships principal source of revenue is cash flows from Hotel operations.
The Trust has principal of $497,085 due and payable in fiscal year 2005 under mortgage notes payable. For the twelve months between August 1, 2004 and July 31, 2005, the Trust has principal of $1,023,181 due and payable under mortgage notes payable. The Trust anticipates that cash flow from operations will be sufficient to satisfy these obligations as they become due.
The Trust has principal of $89,494 due and payable in fiscal year 2005 under notes and advances payable to Wirth and his affiliates. For the twelve months between August 1, 2004 and July 31, 2005, the Trust has principal of $182,167 due and payable under notes and advances payable to Wirth and his affiliates. The Trust anticipates that cash flow from operations will be sufficient to satisfy these obligations as they become due. During the six months ended July 31, 2004, the Trust repaid principal of $1.9 million to Wirth and his affiliates and satisfied another $5.1 million to Wirth and his affiliates in connection with the sale of the Tempe, Arizona property.
On July 21, 2004, the Trust obtained a bank line of credit secured by a security agreement, business loan agreement and commercial guaranty of the Partnership, all dated July 21, 2004. Under the terms of the line of credit, the Trust can draw up to $500,000, bearing interest at prime plus 1.0% (5.0% as of July 31, 2004) per annum, and is required to make monthly interest-only payments. The line of credit matures on July 20, 2005. The balance on the line of credit as of July 31, 2004 was $0.
The Trust will acquire or develop additional hotels only as suitable opportunities arise, and the Trust will not undertake acquisition or redevelopment of properties unless adequate sources of financing are available. Funds for future acquisitions or development of hotels are expected to be derived, in whole or in part, from borrowings or from the proceeds of additional issuances of Shares of Beneficial Interest or other securities. However, there can be no assurance that the Trust will successfully acquire or develop additional hotels.
The Trust may seek to negotiate additional credit facilities or issue debt instruments. Any debt incurred or issued by the Trust may be secured or unsecured, long-term, medium-term or short-term, bear interest at a fixed or variable rate and be subject to such other terms as the Trust considers prudent.
The Partnership continues to contribute to a Capital Expenditures Fund (the Fund) an amount equal to 4% of the InnSuites Hotels revenues from operation of the Hotels. The Fund is restricted by the mortgage lender for five of the Trusts properties. As of July 31, 2004, $97,800 was held in restricted capital expenditure funds and is included on the Trusts Balance Sheet as Restricted Cash. The Fund is intended to be used for capital improvements to the Hotels and refurbishment and replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment, in addition to other uses of amounts in the Fund considered appropriate from time to time. During the six months ended July 31, 2004, the Hotels spent approximately $612,000 for capital expenditures. The Trust considers the majority of these improvements to be revenue producing. Therefore, these amounts have been capitalized and are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives. InnSuites Hotels and the Partnership also
15
spent approximately $709,000 during the six months ended July 31, 2004 on repairs and maintenance and these amounts have been charged to expense as incurred.
As of July 31, 2004, the Trust has no commitments for capital expenditures beyond the 4% reserve for refurbishment and replacements set aside annually for each hotel property.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCINGS AND LIABILITIES
Other than lease commitments, legal contingencies incurred in the normal course of business and an employment contract with Wirth, the Trust does not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities. The Trust does not have any majority-owned subsidiaries that are not included in the consolidated financial statements. (See Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.)
CONTINUED LISTING WITH THE AMERICAN STOCK EXCHANGE
On June 13, 2003, the Trust received a notice from the American Stock Exchange (Amex) indicating that the Trust failed to meet certain of Amexs continued listing standards as set forth under Section 1003(a) of the Amex Company Guide. The Trust became non-compliant with Amexs listing standards due to losses incurred in its five most recent fiscal years. These losses were exacerbated by the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the war in Iraq during the spring of 2003, as well as the general slowdown in the economy and travel.
In response to this notice, the Trust was given the opportunity to submit a plan to Amex to regain compliance with the continued listing standards. On August 26, 2003, Amex notified the Trust that it accepted the Trusts plan and granted the Trust an extension of time to regain compliance with the continued listing standards. The Trust will be subject to periodic review by Amex staff during this extension period. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of the extension period could result in the Trust being delisted from Amex. If the Trusts Shares of Beneficial Interest were delisted from Amex, liquidity in the trading market for the Shares of Beneficial Interest could be significantly decreased, which could reduce the trading price of and increase the transaction costs of trading Shares of Beneficial Interest.
As part of the Trusts plan, the Trust has taken certain steps to reduce expenses and increase sales, which has positioned the Trust to improve its operating results. In addition, the Trust has sold five non-strategic assets, its Scottsdale, Tempe and Flagstaff, Arizona, and Buena Park and San Diego, California properties, allowing it to reduce operating losses and fully satisfy its bank term loan and bank line of credit, as well as notes payable to related parties. Through the sale of these assets, equity-raising activities and performing certain services in-house, the Trust expects to improve its financial position and results of operations. The Trust expects to regain compliance with Amexs listing requirements by January 2005.
SEASONALITY
The Hotels operations historically have been seasonal. The four southern Arizona hotels experience their highest occupancy in the first fiscal quarter and, to a lesser extent, the fourth fiscal quarter. The second fiscal quarter tends to be the lowest period of occupancy at those four southern Arizona hotels. This seasonality pattern can be expected to cause fluctuations in the Trusts quarterly revenue. The two hotels located in California and New Mexico historically experience their most profitable periods during the second and third fiscal quarters (the summer season), providing some balance to the general seasonality of the Trusts hotel business. To the extent that cash flows from operations are insufficient during any quarter, because of temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, the Trust may utilize other cash on hand or borrowings to make distributions to its shareholders or meet operating needs. No assurance can be given that the Trust will make distributions in the future.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this Form 10-Q, including statements containing the phrases believes, intends, expects, anticipates, predicted, will be, should be, looking ahead or similar words, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Trust intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created by such Acts. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Trust, its Trustees or its officers in respect of (i) the declaration or payment of dividends; (ii) the management or operation of the Hotels; (iii) the adequacy of reserves for renovation and refurbishment; (iv) the Trusts financing plans; (v) the Trusts position regarding investments, acquisitions, developments, financings, conflicts of interest and other matters; (vi) the Trusts ability to meet the American Stock Exchanges continued listing requirements; and (vii) trends affecting the Trusts or any Hotels financial condition or results of operations.
These forward-looking statements reflect the Trusts current views in respect of future events and financial performance, but are subject to many uncertainties and factors relating to the operations and business environment of the Hotels which may cause the actual results of the Trust to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Examples of such uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
fluctuations in hotel occupancy rates;
changes in room rental rates which may be charged by InnSuites Hotels in response to market rental rate changes or otherwise;
interest rate fluctuations;
changes in federal income tax laws and regulations;
competition;
any changes in the Trusts financial condition or operating results due to acquisitions or dispositions of hotel properties;
real estate and hospitality market conditions;
hospitality industry factors;
terrorist attacks or other acts of war;
communicable diseases, such as SARS;
local or national economic and business conditions, including, without limitation, conditions which may affect public securities markets generally, the hospitality industry or the markets in which the Trust operates or will operate; and
uncertainties the Trust might encounter in changing from a REIT to a tax-paying entity.
The Trust does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Pursuant to Section 21E(b)(2)(E) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the qualifications set forth hereinabove are inapplicable to any forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q relating to the operations of the Partnership.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The Trust is exposed to interest rate risk primarily as a result of its mortgage notes payable, notes payable to banks and other notes payable. Proceeds from these loans were used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures and expand the Trusts real estate investment portfolio and operations.
The Trusts interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve its objectives, the Trust borrows using fixed rate debt, when possible. There have been no significant changes in the Trusts debt structure during the six months ended July 31, 2004.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Based upon their evaluation, as of July 31, 2004, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and sufficient to ensure that we record, process, summarize and report information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. There was no change in the Trusts internal control over financial reporting during the Trusts most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trusts internal control over financial reporting.
