INNSUITES
HOSPITALITY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO
UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS
OF
OCTOBER 31, 2007 AND JANUARY 31, 2007
AND
FOR
THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2007 AND 2006
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 October 31, 2007 owned four hotels through
a
partnership interest in RRF Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) and one
hotel (Yuma Hospitality LP) directly (the “Hotels”) with an aggregate of 843
suites in Arizona, southern California and New Mexico. The Trust is the sole
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 (“Mr. 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 Mr.
Wirth with an aggregate of 544 suites and two unrelated hotel properties with
an
aggregate of 255 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 70.42% and 69.89% on
October 31, 2007 and January 31, 2007, respectively. The weighted average for
the nine months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006 was 70.21% and 69.51%,
respectively. The weighted average for the three months ended October 31, 2007
and 2006 was 70.42% and 69.53%, 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, 2007 and January 31, 2007, a total of 500,581
and 570,067, respectively, Class A limited partnership units were issued
and outstanding. Additionally, as of October 31, 2007 and January 31, 2007,
a
total of 3,407,938 Class B limited partnership units were held by Mr. 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 3,908,519 Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust. As of October
31,
2007 and January 31, 2007, 9,302,998 and 9,233,512 General Partner Units were
held by the Trust, respectively.
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
(“GAAP”) 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 GAAP 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 period
ended October 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be
expected for the year ended January 31, 2008. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in
the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended January
31, 2007.
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE
OF
ESTIMATES
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets.” For hotel properties held for use, 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. In cases
where the Trust does not expect to recover the carrying cost of hotel properties
held for sale, it will reduce the carrying value to the sales price less costs
to sell. 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.
-5-
HOTEL
PROPERTIES HELD FOR SALE
The
Trust
will classify a hotel property as “held for sale” in the period (generally not
to exceed one year) in which (1) it has made the decision to actively seek
a
buyer of the property and (2) it is reasonable to expect the sale of a hotel
property to be completed in one year and/or (3) a
binding
agreement to purchase the property has been signed under which the buyer has
committed a significant amount of refundable cash and no significant financing
contingencies exist that could cause the transaction not to be completed in
a
timely manner.
If
these criteria are met, the Trust will record an impairment loss if the fair
value less the costs to sell is lower than the carrying amount of the hotel
and
will cease recording depreciation.
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 of Beneficial Interest outstanding during
the
periods and potentially dilutive securities.
For
the
nine month periods ended October 31, 2007 and 2006, 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 have been
3,935,912 and 4,027,744 for
the
first nine months of fiscal year 2008 and 2007, respectively and the aggregate
weighted-average of these Shares of Beneficial Interest would have been
3,908,519 and 4,025,225 for
the
three months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the three months
ended October 31, 2006, these units are not included in diluted earnings per
share 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 month period ended October
31, 2006):

RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
June
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FIN No. 48,
“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” The interpretation applies to all
tax positions related to income taxes subject to SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for
Income Taxes.” FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income
taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold in determining if a tax
position should be reflected in the financial statements. Only tax positions
that meet the “more likely than not” recognition threshold may be recognized.
The interpretation also provides guidance on classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition
requirements for uncertain tax positions. FIN No. 48 will be effective for
the
Trust’s fiscal year ending January 31, 2008. See Income Taxes at Note
7.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS
No. 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out
a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required
or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for the
Trust’s fiscal year ending January 31, 2009. The Trust is currently evaluating
the requirements of SFAS No. 157 and has not yet determined the impact on its
financial condition and results of operations.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements
No. 87, 88, 106, and 132 (R).” This pronouncement requires an employer to make
certain recognitions, measurements, and disclosures regarding defined benefit
postretirement plans. The Trust does not have any defined benefit postretirement
plans, and SFAS No. 158 will not have any impact on its financial condition
and
results of operations.
In
September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements
in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB 108 provides guidance on
consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current
year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 is
effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of
SAB
108 did not have an impact on
the
Trust’s consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which permits entities to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that
are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 will
be
effective for the Trust on February 1, 2008. The Trust is currently evaluating
the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on its financial position, cash flows and
results of operations.
In
June
2006, the FASB issued the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-03,
“How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities
Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross Versus Net
Presentation),” which permits entities to present certain taxes assessed by a
governmental authority on either a gross basis (included in revenues and costs)
or a net basis (excluded from revenues). An entity is not required to reevaluate
its existing policies related to taxes assessed by a governmental authority
but
may choose to do so. EITF Issue No. 06-03 is effective for interim and annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The Trust reports it
revenue net of sales taxes. Management plans to continue to report revenue
net
of sales tax.
3.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In
December 2004, SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) was issued. This Statement
is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation,” and supersedes 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 nine months 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. The shares became fully vested on December 31, 2006.

NOTES
PAYABLE TO BANKS
On
August
18, 2006, the Trust entered into an agreement for an unsecured bank line of
credit. Under the agreement, the Trust can draw $750,000, bearing interest
at
prime plus 0.5% (8.25% as of October 31, 2007), with interest-only payments
due
monthly. During specified times over the duration of the line of credit, the
Trust must pay the line of credit down to zero and is unable to borrow against
the line of credit for a period of 30 days. During the first quarter, the Trust
paid down the line of credit to zero and maintained a zero balance for a period
of 30 days. The line of credit matures on February 18, 2008. As of October
31,
2007 and January 31, 2007, the Trust had drawn $124,488 and $749,777 of the
funds available under the line or credit, respectively.
On
February 23, 2007, Tucson Saint Mary’s Suite Hospitality, an entity owned by the
Partnership, established a $2 million non-revolving line of credit. The interest
rate applied to the unpaid principal balance is the prime rate as published
by
the Wall Street Journal
plus 0.75%. The initial interest rate was 9.00%. The line of credit is secured
by the Tucson Saint Mary’s hotel property and matures on February 23, 2008. As
of October 31, 2007, $2.0 million was borrowed under the line of credit to
pay
down debt and to pay for renovations to that hotel. The interest rate at October
31, 2007 was 8.5%.

the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Trust issued a promissory note to
an
unrelated third party for $17,000 in exchange for 6,667 Class A limited
partnership units in the Partnership and 5,827 Shares of Beneficial
Interest.
During
the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Trust satisfied its $400,000 note
payable to Rare Earth Financial, L.L.C., an affiliate of Mr. Wirth, with the
establishment of a line of credit with Rare Earth Financial. The $400,000 due
and payable was converted to a balance due under the line of
credit.

INCOME
TAXES
The
Trust
has recorded income tax provisions of $92,144 and $94,350 for the nine months
ended October 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which included a tax benefit
of
$381,631 and $271,803, respectively, from the utilization of federal net
operating loss carryforwards. The Trust recorded income tax provisions of
$47,858 and $16,700 for the three months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, which included a tax benefit of $147,933 and $61,803,
respectively, from the utilization of federal net operating loss carryforwards.
The Trust has a current income tax payable of $44,957 and $31,805 as of
October 31, 2007 and January 31, 2007. At October 31, 2007 and January 31,
2007, the Trust maintained a 100% valuation allowance of $784,993 and
$1,226,980, respectively, against its net deferred income tax assets. On October
31, 2007 the Trust has federal net operating loss carryforwards of $9.9 million.
There are no state net operating loss carryforwards as of October 31,
2007.
On
February 1, 2007 the Trust adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). Pursuant to FIN 48, the Trust
identified, evaluated and measured the amount of income tax benefits to be
recognized for the Trust’s income tax positions. The Trust has concluded that
there are no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the
financial statements. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Trust has
not recognized any change to the January 31, 2007 balance in retained earnings.
At January 31, 2007 and October 31, 2007, the Trust had no unrecognized tax
benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Trust’s effective income tax rate
in future periods other than the benefits from net operating loss carryforwards
that are offset by a valuation allowance.
The Trust's
practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters
in income tax expense. The Trust had no accrued interest or penalties at January
31, 2007 and no accrued interest or penalties at October 31, 2007.
8. HOTEL PROPERTIES HELD FOR SALE
On
August
1, 2007, the Trust determined it was appropriate to classify the five Hotels
it
owns as “Held for Sale.” The Trust is actively seeking buyers for its properties
and it is reasonable to expect all five Hotels will be sold within one year.
The
Trust has engaged the services of several hotel brokers and is independently
advertising its Hotels for sale.
The
sale
of the Hotels is part of the Trust’s long-term strategic plan to migrate the
focus of the Trust from a hotel owner and operator to a hospitality service
company by expanding its trademark license, management, reservation and
advertising services. This plan is similar to strategies followed by
international diversified hotel industry leaders, which over the last several
years have been reducing real estate holdings and concentrating on hospitality
services. The Trust began its long-term corporate strategy when it relinquished
its REIT status in January 2004, which prevented the Trust from providing
hospitality services to hotels. Then, in June 2004, the Trust acquired its
trademark license and management agreements and began providing services to
its
Hotels. On July12, 2007, the Board of Trustees voted to list and/or present
for
sale all five of the Trust’s hotel properties.
The
table

and the estimated sales value for the hotel properties.

There
is
no assurance that the listed sales price for the individual hotel properties
will be realized, however the Trust’s management believes that these sales
prices are reasonable based on local market conditions and comparable sales.
Changes in market conditions may result in the Trust changing one or all of
the
sales prices.
None
of
the above-listed properties are reported as discontinued operations in the
Trust’s financial statements. Based on criteria of EITF Abstract Issue No.
03-13, “Applying the Conditions of Paragraph 42 of FASB Statement No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, in Determining
Whether to Report Discontinued Operations,” the Trust concluded that reporting
any of the above-listed properties as discontinued operations is not necessary
when the Trust reasonably expects to maintain significant continuing
involvement. The Trust provides trademark licensing, management, reservation
and
advertising services to all the hotel properties listed above and expects to
continue the trademark licensing services, which include the reservation and
advertising services, and/or continue the management services, which also
includes the reservation and advertising services, after the Hotels are sold.
The Trust believes either of these services provide the Trust with the ability
to significantly influence the operating and financial policies of these
Hotels.

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.
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.
HOTEL PROPERTIES HELD FOR SALE
The
Trust
classified its five Hotels as “Held for Sale” as of August 1, 2007, which is
part of the Trust’s long-term strategic plan to migrate the focus of the Trust
from a hotel owner to a hospitality service company by expanding its trademark
license, management, reservation and advertising services. This plan is similar
to strategies followed by international diversified hotel industry leaders,
which over the last several years have been reducing real estate holdings and
concentrating on hospitality services. The Trust began its long-term corporate
strategy when it relinquished its REIT status in January 2004, which prevented
the Trust from providing hospitality services to hotels. Then, in June 2004,
the
Trust acquired its trademark license and management agreements and began
providing services to its Hotels. On July12, 2007, the Board of Trustees voted
to list and/or present for sale all five of the Trust’s hotel properties. The
sale of the Hotels will provide the Trust with additional capital, some of
which
will be needed to complete the transformation to a hospitality service company
following the lead of other hotel chains.
Proceeds
from the sale of the Hotels will be used as needed to support hospitality
service operations as cash flows from current operations, primarily the sale
of
hotel rooms, declines with sale of the Hotels. With the acquisition of
additional contracts for services and the reduction of expenses in other areas,
additional capital from the sale of the Hotels will be marginal. The Trust
estimates that the transformation to a hospitality service company will add
approximately $200,000 in salary and travel expenses to its current annual
administrative expenses of approximately $1.0 million, partially offset over
time by a reduction in operations. The additional expense is for sales personal
to market trademark license, management, reservation and advertising
services.
Initially,
the Trust will focus its sales efforts in the western region of the United
States and concentrate its marketing efforts on unbranded hotels and hotels
that
are changing brands. The Trust expects the fees for its trademark license and
management services to range from 1/2% to 4% of room revenue depending on the
services provided. In addition to the trademark license and management services,
advertising services will be required at a fee ranging from 1/2% to 1% of room
revenue. Reservation fees are expected to range from $5.00 to $15.00 per
reservation depending on the number of room nights included in the reservation.
Each hotel will also be expected to sign up with an independent global
distribution system to receive domestic and international reservations from
travel agents, airlines and the internet reservation services.
RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
June
2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.”
The interpretation applies to all tax positions related to income taxes subject
to SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN No. 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition
threshold in determining if a tax position should be reflected in the financial
statements. Only tax positions that meet the “more likely than not” recognition
threshold may be recognized. The interpretation also provides guidance on
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure, and transition requirements for uncertain tax positions. (See Note
7
- "Income Taxes.")
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS
No. 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out
a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required
or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for the
Trust’s fiscal year ending January 31, 2009. The Trust is currently evaluating
the requirements of SFAS No. 157 and has not yet determined the impact on its
financial condition and results of operations.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements
No. 87, 88, 106, and 132 (R).” This pronouncement requires an employer to make
certain recognitions, measurements, and disclosures regarding defined benefit
postretirement plans. The Trust does not have any defined benefit postretirement
plans, and SFAS No. 158 will not have any impact on its financial condition
and
results of operations.
In
September
2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued SAB No. 108, "Considering
the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.”
SAB 108 provides guidance on consideration of the effects of prior year
misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of
a
materiality assessment. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after
November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have an impact on the Trust’s
consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which permits entities to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that
are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 will
be
effective for the Trust on February 1, 2008. The Trust is currently evaluating
the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on its financial position, cash flows and
results of operations.
In
June
2006, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 06-03, “How Taxes Collected from Customers
and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income
Statement (That is, Gross Versus Net Presentation),” which permits entities to
present certain taxes assessed by a governmental authority on either a gross
basis (included in revenues and costs) or a net basis (excluded from revenues).
An entity is not required to reevaluate its existing policies related to taxes
assessed by a governmental authority but may choose to do so. EITF Issue No.
06-03 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2006. The Trust reports it revenue net of sales taxes. Management
plans to continue to report revenue net of sales tax.
-10-
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
was 73.7%, relatively consistent with the prior year period. ADR increased
$5.13, or 7.1%, to $76.95. The sharp increase in ADR resulted in an increase
of
$4.24, or 8.1%, in REVPAR to $56.71 from $52.47 in the prior year
period.
The
following table shows occupancy, ADR and REVPAR for the periods

Total
Trust revenue was $17.0 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2007,
an
increase of $493,000, or 3.0%, from the
prior
year period. Revenues from hotel operations, which include Room, Food and
Beverage, Telecommunications and Other revenues, increased 6.9% to $14.3 million
from $13.3 million when comparing the nine months ended October 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively, primarily due to higher average rates realized through
the
Trust’s rate management efforts.
Total
expenses decreased $628,000, or 3.8%, to $15.8 million when comparing the nine
months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006. Total operating expenses decreased
$626,000, or 4.2%, to $14.4 million from $15.1 million for the nine months
ended
October 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decreases are primarily due to
decreased depreciation due to cessation of depreciation on the hotel properties
held for sale beginning August 1, 2007, decreased payroll expenses resulting
from the termination on the San Diego, California management agreement during
the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, partially offset by increased hotel
operating expenses related to higher revenues.
General
and administrative expenses increased $71,000, or 3.0%, to $2.5 million from
$2.4 million when comparing the nine months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. This is primarily due to $85,000 of workers’ compensation expense
incurred by InnSuites Hotels, Inc. relating to a prior year policy audit and
additional payroll and other administrative expenses at the corporate
location.
Hotel
property depreciation expenses decreased $545,000, or 35.4%, to $994,000 when
comparing the nine months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This
is
primarily due to the cessation of depreciation on the hotel properties that
were
reclassified as “Held for Sale” on August 1, 2007, and depreciation incurred in
fiscal year 2007 related to fixtures, furniture and equipment at the San Diego,
California location that was sold during the third quarter of fiscal year
2007.
Total
interest expense was $1.4 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2007,
consistent with the prior year period total.

Total
Trust revenue was $5.5 million for the three months ended October 31, 2007,
an
increase of $485,000, or 9.7%, when compared with the prior year period total
of
$5.0 million. Revenues from hotel operations, which include Room, Food and
Beverage, Telecommunications and Other revenues, increased 11.7% to $4.6 million
from $4.1 million when comparing the three months ended October 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively, primarily due to higher occupancy and average rates,
primarily at the southern Arizona properties.
Total
expenses were $4.9 million for the three months ended October 31, 2007, a
decrease of $394,000, or 7.5%, compared to the prior year period. Total
operating expenses decreased $388,000, or 8.1%, to $4.4 million from $4.8
million for the three months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The
decreases were primarily a result of the cessation of depreciation on the hotel
properties held for sale.
General
and administrative expenses decreased $133,000, or 16.3%, to $684,000 from
$816,000 when comparing the three months ended October 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. This is primarily due to a decrease of $73,000 in bad debt expense
at the Hotels due to more effective collection efforts and decreased corporate
office expenses.
Hotel
property depreciation expense was $16,000 for the three months ended October
31,
2007, a decrease of $484,000, or 96.9%, from the prior year period. The decrease
was a result of the cessation of depreciation on the hotel properties held
for
sale.
Total
interest expense was $458,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2007,
consistent with prior year period total of $464,000.
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 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.

reflecting an increase of 31.7%, when compared to the prior year
period. FFO increased approximately $282,000 for the three month period
ended October 31, 2007, reflecting an increase of more than 100.0% from the
prior year period. The increases were primarily due to stronger operating
results at the hotel properties.

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 $222,458 due and payable for the remainder of fiscal year
2008
under mortgage notes payable. For the twelve months between November 1, 2007
and
October 31, 2008, the Trust has principal of $903,652 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 2008 under notes and advances
payable to Mr. Wirth and his affiliates. The Trust had $400,000 due to Rare
Earth Financial, L.L.C., an affiliate of Mr. 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. 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. The Trust has
$295,000 due on this line of credit as of October 31, 2007. For the twelve
months between November 1, 2007 and October 31, 2008, the Trust has principal
due and payable under notes payable of $295,000 to Mr. Wirth and his
affiliates.
The
Trust
has no principal due and payable in fiscal 2008 on the $2.0 million
non-revolving line of credit secured by the Tucson Saint Mary’s hotel property.
As of October 31, 2007, the Trust has borrowed $2.0 million, which is due and
payable in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Trust anticipates that cash
flows from operations will be sufficient to satisfy this obligation when it
becomes due.
The
Trust
entered into an agreement for an unsecured bank line of credit on August 18,
2006. Under the agreement, the Trust can draw $750,000, bearing interest at
prime plus 0.5% (8.25% as of October 31, 2007), with interest-only payments
due
monthly. During specified times over the duration of the line of credit, the
Trust must pay the line of credit down to zero and is unable to borrow against
the line of credit for a period of 30 days. During the first quarter, the Trust
paid down the line of credit to zero and maintained a zero balance for a period
of 30 days. The line of credit matures on February 18, 2008. As of October
31,
2007, the Trust had drawn $124,487 of the funds available under the line or
credit.
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, 2007, $119,035 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, 2007, the Hotels spent $688,335 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. As of August 1, 2007, the Trust
ceased depreciation on “Hotels Held for Sale.” The Hotels also spent $1,045,304
and $1,056,666 during the nine-month periods ended October 31, 2007 and October
31, 2006, respectively and spent $337,288 and $339,744 during the three-month
periods ended October 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006, respectively, on repairs
and maintenance and these amounts have been charged to expense as
incurred.
As
of
October 31, 2007, 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 Mr. 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.

“believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “predicts,” “should be,”
“looking ahead,” “may” or similar words, constitute “forward-looking statements”

resources to pursue our current hotel services strategies;
• concentration
of our investments in the InnSuites Hotels® brand;
• loss
of
franchise contracts;

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, 2007.
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, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to the management of the Trust, including the principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
During
its evaluation for the quarterly period ended July 31, 2007, the Trust
identified one reportable condition under standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants that constituted a material weakness.
The material weakness involved two instances of equity transactions
not being timely recorded in the Trust’s accounting records. Management has
corrected this weakness by hiring an additional accountant and by implementing
new internal control procedures at its main office in order to improve and
re-establish effective control over its recording of equity transactions.
Other
than as described above, 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.

ITEM
1A.
RISK FACTORS
We
are actively seeking to sell all of the Hotels; however, we cannot provide
assurance that any transactions will be successfully completed, that our
financial results will not be adversely effected by the potential loss of
management and/or trademark licensing revenue or that the pursuit of these
sales
of some or all of our Hotels will have a positive effect on our share
price.
The
Board
of Trustees has evaluated the sale of some or all of the Hotels and has approved
the listing for sale of all the Hotels. This process may or may not result
in an
agreement to sell some or all of the Hotels. In addition, the Trust’s ability to
complete a sale of any of the Hotels will depend on numerous factors, some
of
which are outside the Trust’s control. If any or all of the Hotels are sold, our
future management and/or licensing fees could be reduced if the purchaser did
not continue to retain us to provide those services. Such a reduction could
have
an adverse effect on our financial results.
There
are
various uncertainties and risks relating to the potential sale of the Hotels,
including:
·
|
diversion
of management resources and disruption of our
business;
|
·
|
the
process may be time consuming and expensive and may result in the
loss of
business opportunities;
|
·
|
the
Trust may not be able to successfully achieve the benefits of the
sale of
any of the Hotels; and
|
·
|
perceived
uncertainties as to the Trust’s future direction may result in increased
difficulties in recruiting and retaining employees, particularly
senior
management.
|
Even
if a
sale of a Hotel is completed, there can be no assurance that it will have a
positive effect on the price of the Trust’s Shares of Beneficial Interest. The
market price of the Trust’s Shares of Beneficial Interest could be highly
volatile during the period while the Board of Trustees explores the sale of
the
Hotels and may continue to be more volatile if the Trust announces the sale
of
one of its Hotels.
We
may be unable to sell any of the Hotels on terms that are acceptable to us,
or
at all.
Real
estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly. Our ability to sell the
Hotels may be limited by the availability of interested purchasers. We face
competition for buyers of our Hotels. Other sellers of hotels may have the
financial resources to dispose of their hotels on unfavorable terms that we
would not accept. If we cannot find buyers for the Hotels that are designated
for sale, we will not be able to implement our disposition strategy. In the
event that we cannot fully execute the sale of the Hotels or realize the
benefits therefrom, we will not be able to fully execute our long-term strategic
plan.
We
might fail to execute our long-term strategic plan or to operate successfully
under our hospitality service company business model.
As
of
August 1, 2007, the Trust classified its five Hotels as “Held of Sale.” This was
part of the Trust’s long-term strategic plan to migrate its focus from owning
hotels to that of a hospitality service company. The modification of the Trust’s
business model entails significant risks and costs, and the Trust might not
succeed in operating within this model or under its long-term strategic plan
for
many reasons. These reasons include the risks that the Trust might not be able
to earn adequate revenues from its hospitality service business or achieve
sustained profitability. To accommodate its new business model, the Trust may
need to hire new employees, but may have difficulty satisfying those needs.
Employee concern about the transition of the Trust’s business or the effect of
such changes on their workloads or continued employment might cause the current
employees to seek or accept other employment, depriving the Trust of the human
capital that it needs in order to succeed. The implementation of the Trust’s
long-term strategic plan and the transition to the hospitality service business
might also create uncertainties, causing the market price of the Trust’s Shares
of Beneficial
Interest to fall and impairing the Trust’s ability to raise additional capital,
if needed.
There
are
no other material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report
on
Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 2,
2007.

2. UNREGISTERED
SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On
January 2, 2001, the Board of Trustees approved a share repurchase program
under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for
the purchase of up to 250,000 limited partnership units in the Partnership
and/or Shares of Beneficial Interest in open market or privately negotiated
transactions. Additionally, on September 10, 2002, August 18, 2005 and
September 10, 2007, the Board of Trustees approved the purchase of up to 350,000
additional limited partnership units in the Partnership and/or Shares of
Beneficial Interest in open market or privately negotiated transactions.
Acquired Shares of Beneficial Interest will be held in treasury and will be
available for future acquisitions and financings and/or for awards granted
under
the InnSuites Hospitality Trust 1997 Stock Incentive and Option Plan. During
the
nine months ended October 31, 2007, the Trust acquired 103,750 Shares of
Beneficial Interest in open market transactions at an average price of $1.36
per
share. The Trust intends to continue repurchasing Shares of Beneficial Interest
in compliance with applicable legal and American Stock Exchange requirements.
The Trust remains authorized to repurchase an additional 334,500 limited
partnership units and/or Shares of Beneficial Interest pursuant to the share
repurchase program, which has no expiration date.
