NOTES
TO
UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS
OF
JULY 31, 2007 AND JANUARY 31, 2007
AND
FOR
THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 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 July 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 property 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
July 31, 2007 and January 31, 2007, respectively. The weighted average for
the
six months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006 was 70.10% and 69.50%, respectively.
The
weighted average for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006 was 70.31%
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 July 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 July 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 July 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
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, 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 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 of Beneficial Interest outstanding during
the
periods and potentially dilutive securities.
For
the
six month periods ended July 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
3,949,836 and 4,029,025 for the first six months of fiscal year 2008 and
2007,
respectively.
The
following is a reconciliation of basic earnings per share to diluted earnings
per share (there is no dilutive effect for the three month periods ended
July
31, 2007 and 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.
-6-
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 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, 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 six 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 six months of fiscal year 2007, the Trust recognized expense on these
shares totaling $49,747. The shares became fully vested on December 31, 2006.

of
credit. Under the agreement, the Trust can draw $750,000, bearing interest
at
prime plus 0.5% (8.75% as of July 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 July 31,
2007
and January 31, 2007, the Trust had drawn $602,407 and $749,777 of the funds
available under the line or credit, respectively.
On

INCOME
TAXES
The
Trust
has recorded net income tax provisions of $44,286 and $77,650 for the six
months
ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which included a tax benefit
of
$233,638 and $210,000, respectively, from the utilization of federal net
operating loss carryforwards. The Trust has recorded net income tax benefits
of
$31,107 and $850 for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006. The Trust
has a current income tax receivable of $2,901 as of July 31, 2007 and a
current income tax payable of $31,805 as of January 31, 2007. At July 31,
2007 and January 31, 2007, the Trust maintained a 100% valuation allowance
of
$1,036,225 and $1,227,000, respectively, against its net deferred income
tax
assets. On July 31, 2007 the Trust has net operating loss carryforwards of
$11.3
and $1.3 million for federal and state, respectively.
On
February 1, 2007 the Trust adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”)
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. 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 July 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 July 31, 2007.

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
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
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 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.
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 74.6%, relatively consistent with the
prior
year period. ADR increased $5.11, or 7.0%, to $78.48. The sharp increase
in ADR
resulted in an increase of $3.53, or 6.4%, in REVPAR to $58.56 from $55.03
in
the prior year period.
The
following table shows occupancy, ADR and REVPAR for the periods
indicated:

Total
Trust revenue was $11.4 million for the six months ended July 31, 2007,
consistent with the prior year period. Revenues from hotel operations, which
include Room, Food and Beverage, Telecommunications and Other revenues,
increased 4.8% to $9.7 million from $9.2 million when comparing the six months
ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, primarily due to higher average
rates realized through the Trust’s rate management efforts.
Total
expenses decreased $235,000, or 2.1%, to $10.9 million when comparing the
six
months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006. Total operating expenses decreased
$238,000, or 2.3%, to $10.0 million from $10.3 million for the six months
ended
July 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decreases are primarily due to
decreased payroll expenses resulting from the termination on the San Diego,
California management agreement during the third quarter of fiscal year
2007.
General
and administrative expenses increased $204,000, or 13.0%, to $1.8 million
from
$1.6 million when comparing the six months ended July 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 $60,000, or 5.8%, to $978,000 from
$1.0
million when comparing the six months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. This is primarily due to 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 $897,000 for the six months ended July 31, 2007, consistent
with the prior year period total of $893,000.

Total
Trust revenue was $4.9 million for the three months ended July 31, 2007,
consistent with the prior year period. Revenues from hotel operations, which
include Room, Food and Beverage, Telecommunications and Other revenues,
increased 6.5% to $4.0 million from $3.8 million when comparing the three
months
ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, primarily due to higher average
rates realized through the Trust’s rate management efforts.
Total
expenses were $5.5 million for the three months ended July 31, 2007, an increase
of $51,000, or less than 1.0%, compared to the prior year period. Total
operating expenses increased $68,000, or 1.4%, to $5.1 million from $5.0
million
for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
General
and administrative expenses increased $247,000, or 34.3%, to $968,000 from
$721,000 when comparing the three months ended July 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 professional
fees incurred at the corporate location.
Hotel
property depreciation expenses decreased $37,000, or 7.0%, to $488,000 from
$525,000 when comparing the six months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. This is primarily due to 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 $433,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2007, a
decrease of $17,000, or 3.8%, from the prior year period total of
$451,000.

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 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 $165,000 for the six month period
ended
July 31, 2007, reflecting an increase of 14.5%, when compared to the
prior
year period. The increase was due primarily to stronger operating results
at the
hotel properties. Funds from Operations decreased approximately $38,000 for
the
three month period ended July 31, 2007, reflecting a decrease of 64.2% from
the
prior year period. The decrease was due primarily to increased administrative
costs at the corporate level.
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 $483,654 due and payable for the remainder of fiscal year
2008
under mortgage notes payable. For the twelve months between August 1, 2007
and
July 31, 2008, the Trust has principal of $925,582 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
$200,000 due on the line of credit as of July 31, 2007. For the twelve months
between August 1, 2007 and July 31, 2008, the Trust has principal due and
payable under notes payable of $200,000 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 July 31, 2007, the Trust has borrowed $1.5 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% (8.75% as of July 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 July 31,
2007, the Trust had drawn $602,407 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 July 31, 2007, $103,136 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
six
months ended July 31, 2007, the Hotels spent $411,278 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 $708,016 and $716,922
during
the six-month periods ended July 31, 2007 and July 31, 2006, respectively
and
spent $353,378 and $378,483 during the three-month periods ended July 31,
2007
and July 31, 2006, respectively, on repairs and maintenance and these amounts
have been charged to expense as incurred.
As
of
July 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.
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-
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.
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
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
leasing, management or operation of the Hotels; (iii) the adequacy of
reserves for renovation and refurbishment; (iv) the Trust’s financing
plans; (v) the Trust’s position regarding investments, acquisitions,
developments, financings, conflicts of interest and other matters; (vi) the
Trust’s plans and expectations regarding future sales of hotel properties or
condo-hotel conversions; and (vii) trends affecting the Trust’s or any
Hotel’s financial condition or results of operations.
These
forward-looking statements reflect the Trust’s 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 that may be charged by InnSuites Hotels in response
to
market rental rate changes or otherwise;
• seasonality
of our business;
• interest
rate fluctuations;
• changes
in government regulations, including federal income tax laws and
regulations;
• competition;
• any
changes in the Trust’s financial condition or operating results due to
acquisitions or dispositions of hotel properties;
• insufficient
resources to pursue our current strategies;
• concentration
of our investments in the InnSuites Hotels® brand;
• loss
of
franchise contracts;
• real
estate and hospitality market conditions;
• hospitality
industry factors;
• our
ability to meet present and future debt service obligations;

of
key personnel;
•
|
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 real estate investment trust
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
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 six months ended July 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 were not 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 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.
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 and the
auditor agreed that this is a material weakness in internal controls. Management
