general partner in the Partnership. The Hotels are managed by InnSuites
Hotels, Inc. (“InnSuites Hotels”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Trust.
InnSuites
Hotels holds management contracts under which it provides hotel management
services to the Hotels, as well as four hotels with an aggregate of 544 suites
owned by affiliates of James F. Wirth (“Wirth”), the Trust’s Chairman, President
and Chief Executive Officer. Under the management agreements, InnSuites Hotels
provides the personnel at the hotels, the expenses of which are reimbursed
at
cost, and manages the hotels’ daily operations, for which it receives a
percentage of revenue from the hotels. InnSuites Hotels also holds licensing
agreements and the “InnSuites” trademarks and provides licensing services to the
Hotels, as well as the four hotels owned by affiliates of Wirth with an
aggregate of 544 suites and one unrelated hotel property with an aggregate
of
176 suites. Under the licensing agreements, InnSuites Hotels receives a
percentage of revenue from the hotels in exchange for use of the “InnSuites”
trademark. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.
The
Trust’s general partnership interest in the Partnership was 69.53% and 69.08% on
October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, the weighted average for the nine
months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 was 69.51% and 67.45%, respectively,
and
the weighted average for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 was
69.53% and 68.71%, 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 is convertible into a like number of
Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust at any time at the option of the
limited partner. As of October 31, 2006, a total of 617,287 Class A limited
partnership units were issued and outstanding. Additionally, a total of
3,407,938 Class B limited partnership units were held by Wirth and his
affiliates on that date, in lieu of the issuance of Class A limited
partnership units. Each Class B limited partnership unit is identical to
Class A limited partnership units in all respects, except that Class B limited
partnership units are convertible only with the approval of the Board of
Trustees, in its sole discretion. If all of the Class A and B limited
partnership units were converted, the limited partners in the Partnership would
receive 4,025,225 Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust.
BASIS
OF
PRESENTATION
The
financial statements of the Partnership, InnSuites Hotels and Yuma Hospitality
LP are consolidated with the Trust, and all significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.
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 nine-month and three-month periods ended October
31,
2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the
year ended January 31, 2007. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Trust’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A as of and for the year ended January 31,
2006.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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, 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
Trust’s 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 undiscounted cash flows over its estimated remaining life, the Trust
recognizes an impairment expense to reduce the asset’s carrying value to its
fair value. Fair value is determined by either the most current third-party
property appraisal, if available, or the present value of future undiscounted
cash flows over the remaining life of the asset. The Trust’s 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, management and licensing fees and other
revenue are recognized as earned as services are provided and items are sold.
Payroll reimbursements are recorded as personnel services are provided and
are
not netted with the corresponding payroll expense.
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
three and nine month periods ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, 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 of these Shares of Beneficial Interest would
be
4,027,744 and 4,300,150 for the first nine months of fiscal year 2007 and 2006,
respectively. The weighted-average of the Shares of Beneficial Interest would
be
4,025,225 and 4,133,806 for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. For the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, these units
are not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as their
inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect.
The
following is a reconciliation of basic earnings per share to diluted earnings
per share (there is no dilutive effect for the three months ended October 31,
2005):

During
the second quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Trust accepted the voluntary
surrender of all outstanding stock options, therefore no stock options are
included in the computation of diluted income per share for the nine months
ended October 31, 2006 and 2005. The options were surrendered in order to reduce
costs and simplify the Trust’s reporting and compliance obligations to the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the American Stock Exchange. The Trust
made no payments to the holders of the options for their surrender. The Trust
has no obligation, explicit or implied, for the surrender of the options,
including but not limited to the reissuance of options at some time in the
future.
RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
December 2004, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(revised 2004) was issued. This Statement is a revision of FASB Statement
No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, and supercedes APB
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. This Statement
establishes standards for accounting for transactions in which an entity
exchanges its equity securities for goods and services. The Trust adopted this
Statement during fiscal year 2006.
During
the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Trust issued 99,300 restricted shares
to its Trustees, officers and other key employees with a total fair value of
$134,055. Fair value was calculated using the closing share price on the date
of
the grant. The shares were issued from the Trust’s treasury stock. During the
first nine months of fiscal year 2007, the Trust recognized expense on these
shares totaling $77,733. As of October 31, 2006, total unrecognized expense
related to unvested stock awards totals $20,008, which will be recognized evenly
over the next five months. The following table summarizes restricted share
activity during the nine months ended October 31, 2006:

MANAGEMENT’S 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 partner’s interest in the Partnership. The Trust’s
principal source of cash flows is from the operations of the Hotels and
management and licensing contracts with affiliated and third-party hotels
outside of the Trust.
RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
December 2004, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(revised 2004) was issued. This Statement is a revision of FASB Statement
No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, and supercedes APB
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. This Statement
establishes standards for accounting for transactions in which an entity
exchanges its equity securities for goods and services. The Trust adopted this
Statement during fiscal year 2006.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The
expenses of the Trust consist primarily of hotel operating expenses, property
taxes, insurance, corporate overhead, interest on mortgage debt, professional
fees and depreciation of the Hotels. The operating performance of the Trust
is
principally related to the performance of the Hotels. Therefore, management
believes that a review of the historical performance of the operations of the
Hotels, particularly with respect to occupancy, calculated as rooms sold divided
by the number of rooms available, 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 number of rooms
available, is appropriate for understanding revenue from the Hotels. Occupancy
improved to 73.1%, an increase of 4.0% from the prior year period. ADR was
consistent with the prior year period. The increased occupancy resulted in
an
increase of $3.01 in REVPAR to $52.47 from $49.46 in the prior year
period.

Total
Trust revenue was $16.5 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2006,
an
increase of $333,000 from the prior year period amount of $16.1 million.
Revenues from hotel operations, which include Room, Food and Beverage,
Telecommunications and Other revenues, decreased 1.5% to $13.3 million from
$13.5 million when comparing the nine months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively, primarily due to the disposition of the Phoenix, Arizona property
during the second quarter of fiscal year 2006. Increased management and
trademark fees and payroll reimbursements, due to fees collected from the new
ownership of the disposed Phoenix, Arizona property and increased fee structures
for affiliated hotels, offset this decrease resulting in an increase in total
revenue.
Total
expenses decreased $811,000, or 4.7%, to $16.4 million from $17.2 million when
comparing the nine months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005. Total operating
expenses decreased $714,000, or 4.5%, to $15.1 million from $15.8 million for
the nine months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decreases
in
these totals is primarily due to the disposition of the Phoenix, Arizona hotel,
which was partially offset by higher payroll expenses relating to management
contracts with hotels outside the Trust.
General
and administrative expenses decreased $644,000, or 21.3%, to $2.4 million from
$3.0 million when comparing the nine months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. This is primarily due to accounting and legal fees incurred in
fiscal year 2006 relating to amendments to certain of the Trust’s filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, reduced bad debt expense due to improved
receivable collections in fiscal year 2007, and the disposition of the Phoenix,
Arizona hotel in the prior year.
Total
interest expense was $1.4 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2006,
a
decrease of $97,000, or 6.7%, from the prior year period total of $1.5 million.
The decrease was primarily due to the disposition of the Phoenix, Arizona
property, which had incurred $130,000 of mortgage interest expense during the
first nine months of fiscal year 2006.
On
July 28, 2005, the Trust sold its Phoenix, Arizona hotel to Phoenix
Northern Resort LLC, an affiliate of Wirth, for its appraised value of $5.1
million. The buyer satisfied the purchase price by assuming the Trust’s $3.2
million mortgage note payable secured by the property, paying $1.7 million
in
cash prior to the closing, and paying $192,000 in cash at the closing. The
sale
resulted in a total gain of $1.8 million, with $1.2 million of the gain
attributable to shareholders.
On
September 21, 2006, the Trust sold the furniture and fixtures previously used

its San Diego, California location to Hampstead Partners, Inc., a third party,
for $160,000, resulting in a gain of $139,000, with $96,000 of the gain
attributable to shareholders. The buyer satisfied the sales price with cash
payments.

Total
Trust revenue was $5.0 million for the three months ended October 31, 2006,
an
increase of $324,000, or 6.9%, from the prior year period total. Revenues from
hotel operations, which include Room, Food and Beverage, Telecommunications
and
Other revenues, increased 9.2% to $4.1 million from $3.7 million when comparing
the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, primarily due
to
increased sales resulting from improving market conditions, primarily at the
Ontario, California property. Management and trademark fees and payroll
reimbursements were consistent with the prior year period.
Total
expenses decreased $69,000, or 1.3%, to $5.3 million when comparing the three
months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005. Total operating expenses decreased
$86,000, or 1.8%, to $4.8 million from $4.9 million for the three months ended
October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decreases are primarily due to
decreased operating expenses at the hotel properties resulting from tightened
cost controls.
General
and administrative expenses increased $78,000, or 10.6%, to $816,000 from
$738,000 when comparing the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. This is primarily due to the additional payroll and other
administrative expenses at the corporate location.
Total
interest expense was $464,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2006,
an
increase of $16,000, or 3.6%, from the prior year period total of $448,000.
The
increase was primarily due to the interest expense on the Trust’s line of credit
with Rare Earth Financial, L.L.C., an affiliate of Wirth.
On
September 21, 2006, the Trust sold the furniture and fixtures previously used
at
its San Diego, California location to Hampstead Partners, Inc., a third party,
for $160,000, resulting in a gain of $139,000, with $96,000 of the gain
attributable to shareholders. The buyer satisfied the sales price with cash
payments.
FUNDS
FROM OPERATIONS (FFO)
The
Trust
recognizes that industry analysts and investors use Funds From Operations
("FFO") as a financial measure to evaluate and compare equity REITs. The Trust
also believes it is meaningful as an indicator of net income, excluding most
non-cash items, and provides information about the Trust's cash available for
distributions, debt service and capital expenditures. The Trust follows the
March 1995 interpretation of the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts ("NAREIT") definition of FFO, as amended January 1, 2000, which is
calculated (in the Trust's case) as net income or loss (computed in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("GAAP")), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, depreciation
and
amortization on real estate property and extraordinary items. FFO does not
represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and
is
not indicative of cash available to fund all of the Trust's cash needs. FFO
should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other GAAP
measure as an indicator of performance and should not be considered as an
alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. In addition, the Trust's
FFO may not be comparable to other companies' FFO due to differing methods
of
calculating FFO and varying interpretations of the NAREIT
definition.

Funds
from Operations increased approximately $804,000 and $258,000 for the nine
and
three month periods ended October 31, 2006, respectively, reflecting an increase
of over 100%, when compared to the prior year periods. The increases were due
primarily to stronger operating results at the hotel properties, primarily
the
Ontario, California location.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Through
its ownership interest in the Partnership, Yuma Hospitality LP and InnSuites
Hotels, the Trust has its proportionate share of the benefits and obligations
of
the Partnership’s and Yuma Hospitality LP’s ownership interests, as well as
InnSuites Hotels’ operational interests, in the Hotels. The Trust’s principal
source of cash to meet its cash requirements, including distributions to its
shareholders, is its share of these cash flows. The Trust’s liquidity, including
its ability to make distributions to its shareholders, will depend upon the
ability to generate sufficient cash flows from hotel operations.
The
Trust
has principal of $217,025 due and payable for the remainder of fiscal year
2007
under mortgage notes payable. For the twelve months between November 1, 2006
and
October 31, 2007, the Trust has principal of $906,515 due and payable under
mortgage notes payable. The Trust anticipates that cash flows from operations
will be sufficient to satisfy these obligations as they become due.
The
Trust
has no principal due and payable in fiscal year 2007 under notes and advances
payable to Wirth and his affiliates. The Trust had $400,000 due to Rare Earth
Financial, L.L.C., an affiliate of Wirth, in March 2006. The Trust satisfied
this note using the line of credit established by the Partnership with Rare
Earth Financial in March 2006. The balance on the line of credit as of October
31, 2006 is $700,000. On December 1,
2006,
the
Partnership amended this line of credit agreement to increase the maximum amount
the Partnership can borrow under the line of credit from $700,000 to $1.0
million. For the twelve months between August 1, 2006 and October 31, 2007,
the
Trust has no principal due and payable under notes payable to Wirth and his
affiliates.
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
Trust
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 four of the Trust’s properties. As
of October 31, 2006, $41,488 was held in restricted capital expenditure funds
and is included on the Trust’s Balance Sheet as “Restricted Cash.” The Fund is
intended to be used for capital improvements to the Hotels and for 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
nine
months ended October 31, 2006, the Hotels spent $1,286,694 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. The Hotels also spent $1,056,666
during the nine months ended October 31, 2006 on repairs and maintenance and
these amounts have been charged to expense as incurred.
As
of
October 31, 2006, the Trust has no commitments for capital expenditures beyond
the 4% reserve for refurbishment and replacements set aside annually for each
hotel property.
The
Trust
may 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.
12
The
Trust’s management has identified condo-hotel conversions as a potential
opportunity for the Trust. The conversion concept has become increasingly
popular throughout the country, and may have the potential to eclipse time-share
or fractional ownership as the preferred vacation, second or third home
ownership vehicle. The Trust, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, InnSuites
Hotels, is currently preparing two of its Arizona hotel properties for potential
condo-hotel ownership. The Trust has substantially increased capital improvement
spending at these two properties, which has impacted the Trust’s liquidity
during the nine months ended October 31, 2006. The Trust believes the short-term
liquidity impact will result in long-term benefits to the Trust by improving
the
quality of the suites at these properties, thereby increasing their appeal
to
our customers and allowing us to raise rates. The Trust has offset the
short-term liquidity impact through an increase in loans and advances from
Wirth
and his affiliates. If the Trust ultimately determines this concept to be
feasible for its current hotel properties, the Trust may realize condominium
sales revenue and revenue from long-term management and trademark agreements
with potential homeowners’ associations and/or future condominium
owners.
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.”)
SEASONALITY
The
Hotels’ operations historically have been seasonal. The three 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 three southern Arizona hotels. This
seasonality pattern can be expected to cause fluctuations in the Trust’s
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 Trust’s 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 to 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,” “predicts,” “should be,”
“looking ahead,” “may” or similar words, constitute “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and

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.

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
Trust’s real estate investment portfolio and operations.
The
Trust’s 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 Trust’s debt
structure during the nine months ended October 31, 2006.
ITEM
4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As
of the
end of the period covered by this report, the Trust conducted an evaluation,
under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, of the Trust’s disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, the principal
executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Trust’s
disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Trust in reports that it files or submits under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s rules and forms. There was no change in the Trust’s
internal control over financial reporting during the Trust’s most recently
completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, the Trust’s internal control over financial
reporting.
