NOTES
TO
UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS
OF AND
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 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 April 30, 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 69.89% and 69.53% on
April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, the weighted average for the three months
ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 was 69.89% and 69.47%, 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 April 30, 2007 and January 31, 2007, a total of 570,067
Class A limited partnership units were issued and outstanding for both
periods. Additionally, as of April 30, 2007 and January 31, 2007, a total of
3,407,938 Class B limited partnership units were held by Mr. Wirth and his
affiliates 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 on April 30, 2007 or January 31, 2007, the limited partners in the
Partnership would receive 3,978,005 Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust.
As of April 30, 2007 and January 31, 2007, the Trust held 9,233,512 general
partner units in the Partnership.
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 three-month period ended April 30, 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. The condensed
balance sheet as of January 31, 2007 has been derived from audited financial
statements.
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.
-4-
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
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

INCOME PER
SHARE
Basic
and
diluted income 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
three month periods ended April 30, 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
3,978,005 and 4,032,953 for the first three months of fiscal year 2008 and
2007,
respectively.

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. The Trust is currently evaluating
the impact FIN No. 48 will have on the Trust’s financial condition and results
of operations.
-5-
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.

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 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 three months of fiscal year 2007, the Trust recognized expense on these
shares totaling $22,815. The shares became fully vested on December 31, 2006.
No
such expense was recognized during the three months ended April 30, 2007. The

INCOME
TAXES
The
Trust’s income tax provision for the interim periods is determined using the
estimated effective tax rate for the year. The income tax provision for the
period ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 is based on the expected effective tax
rate
for state income taxes only. All taxable income for federal purposes is offset
by utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.
The
Trust
has recorded net income tax provisions of $75,393 and $78,500 for the three
months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the three months ended
April 30, 2007, the Trust utilized a federal net operating loss carryforward
of
$363,575. The Trust has a current income tax liability of $89,652 and
$31,805 as of April 30, 2007 and January 31, 2007, respectively. At April 30,
2007 and January 31, 2007, the Trust maintained a valuation allowance of
$886,841 and $1,227,000, respectively, against its net deferred income tax
assets.
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 April 30, 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 April 30,
2007.

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.
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. FIN No.
48
will be effective for the Trust’s fiscal year ending January 31, 2008. The
effect of implementing FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Trust's
financial statements.
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.
-9-
Occupancy
was 82.3%, a decrease of 1.2% from the prior year period. ADR increased $5.12,
or 6.5%, to $84.14. The sharp increase in ADR resulted in an increase of $3.25,
or 4.9%, in REVPAR to $69.27 from $66.02 in the prior year period.

Total
Trust revenue was $6.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2007,
consistent with the prior year period. Revenues from hotel operations, which
include Room, Food and Beverage, Telecommunications and Other revenues,
increased 3.6% to $5.6 million from $5.4 million when comparing the three months
ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, primarily due to higher average
rates realized through the Trust’s rate management efforts.
Room
revenue increased by $244,000, or 5.0%, from $5.0 million to $5.2 million when
comparing the three months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006. This increase is
the
result of the Trust's focus on rate management, which also increased ADR by
$5.12.
Total
expenses decreased $285,000, or 5.0%, to $5.4 million when comparing the three
months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006. Total operating expenses decreased
$306,000, or 5.8%, to $4.9 million from $5.2 million for the three months ended
April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The
decreases are primarily due to decreased operating expenses at the hotel
properties resulting from tightened cost controls.
Rooms
expense decreased slightly by $24,000 when comparing the three months ended
April 30, 2007 and 2006, reflecting the slight 1.2% decrease in
occupancy.
General
and administrative expenses decreased $44,000, or 5.1%, to $806,000 from
$850,000 when comparing the three months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. This
is
primarily due to administrative expenses at the corporate location in the first
quarter of fiscal year 2007.
Total
interest expense was $463,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2007, an
increase of $21,000, or 4.8%, from the prior year period total of $442,000.
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 Mr. Wirth.

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 $200,000 for the three month period
ended April 30, 2007, reflecting an increase of 18.6%, when compared to the
prior year period. The increases were due primarily 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 $704,335 due
and
payable for the remainder of fiscal year 2008 under mortgage notes payable.
For
the twelve months between May
1,
2007 and April 30, 2008, the Trust has principal of $905,889 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
no
balance due on the line of credit as of April 30, 2007; however, the balance
was
$1.0 million as of January 31, 2007. For the twelve months between May 1, 2007
and April 30, 2008, the Trust has no principal due and payable under notes
payable 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 April 30, 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 April 30, 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
April 30, 2007, the Trust had drawn $172,548 of the funds available under the
line or credit.
-11-
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 April
30,
2007, $137,579 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 three
months ended April 30, 2007, the Hotels spent $156,956 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 $354,638 during the three
months ended April 30, 2007 on repairs and maintenance and these amounts have
been charged to expense as incurred.
As
of
April 30, 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.
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

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;

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

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. The exposure to interest rate changes in the Trust’s debt
structure had no material effect during the three months ended April 30,
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.
At
January 31, 2007, the Trust identified three reportable conditions under
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, two that constituted material weaknesses and one that
constituted a significant deficiency. The first material
weakness involved several instances of accounts receivable transactions not
being properly recorded in a Hotel’s property management system and of
inadequate files being maintained to support these transactions. Management
has
implemented new internal control procedures at the Hotel property level and
hired additional personnel in order to improve and re-establish effective
control over its accounts receivable procedures. The second material weakness
related to errors noted in the Trust's income tax provision calculation.
Management has retained additional third party advisors to provide additional
technical expertise and to assist the Trust in calculating its income tax
provisions. The significant deficiency involved several instances of
capital additions recorded
without detail postings that could result in future errors upon the disposal
of
the affected capital additions. Management has implemented new internal control
procedures that require adequate detail be maintained for all new capital
additions.
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.

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 and August 18, 2005, 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 three months ended April 30,
2007, the Trust acquired 15,050 Shares of Beneficial Interest in open market
transactions at an average price of $1.27 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 51,103 limited partnership units and/or
Shares of Beneficial Interest pursuant to the share repurchase program, which
has no expiration date.
