AND FOR
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2008 AND 2007
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, 2008 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 one unrelated hotel property with
a total of 175 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 70.66% on both April
30, 2008 and January 31, 2008. The weighted average for the three months ended
April 30, 2008 and 2007 was 70.66% and 69.89%, 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, 2008 and January 31, 2008, a total of 468,509
Class A limited partnership units were issued and outstanding.
Additionally, as of April 30, 2008 and January 31, 2008, 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 3,876,447
Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust. As of April 30, 2008 and January 31,
2008, 9,335,070 General Partner Units were held by the Trust.
BASIS OF
PRESENTATION
The
financial statements of the Partnership, InnSuites Hotels and Yuma Hospitality
LP are consolidated with the Trust, and all significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.
These
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“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 three-month period
ended April 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended January 31, 2009. 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, 2008.
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 and Used” or “Held for Sale”, 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.
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. If
circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result,
the Company decides not the sell the hotel properties classified as held for
sale, they will be reclassified as held and used assets. In such an
event, the hotel properties will be carried at the lower of the carrying amount
prior to being classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation
expense that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously
classified as “Held and Used,” or the fair value at the date of the subsequent
decision not to sell.

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.
INCOME
PER SHARE
Basic and
diluted income (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
three month periods ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, 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
3,876,447 and 3,978,005 for the first three months of fiscal year 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
The
following is a reconciliation of basic income per share to diluted income per
share:

RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation
48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 109” ( “FIN 48” ), which became
effective for years beginning on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 addressed the
determination of how tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax
return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48,
the Trust must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position
only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on
examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the
position. The Trust is subject to U.S federal income taxes as well as
numerous state tax jurisdictions. The Trust's assessments of its tax positions
in accordance with FIN 48 did not result in changes that had a material impact
on results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. While
the Trust does not have any interest and penalties related to income taxes,
the Trust's policy is to recognize such expenses as tax expense. The tax
years 2005 through 2008 remain open to examination by the federal and state
taxing jurisdictions to which the Trust is subject. See Income
Taxes at Note 7.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value
Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes
a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
Trust adopted SFAS No. 157 on February 1, 2008 and such adoption
did not have a material impact on financial condition, results of operations or
liquidity.
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
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 was
effective for the Trust on February 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did
not have an impact on the Trust’s consolidated financial
statements.
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.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141(Revised 2007),
Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”) and Statement No. 160, “Accounting
and Reporting of Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,
an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). These statements will
significantly change the financial accounting and reporting of business
combination transactions and non-controlling (or minority) interests in
consolidated financial statements. SFAS 141(R) requires companies to: (i)
recognize, with certain exceptions, 100% of the fair values of assets acquired,
liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests in acquisitions of less than
a 100% controlling interest when the acquisition constitutes a change in control
of the acquired entity; (ii) measure acquirer shares issued in
consideration for a business combination at fair value on the acquisition date;
(iii) recognize contingent consideration arrangements at their
acquisition-date fair values, with subsequent changes in fair value generally
reflected in earnings; (iv) with certain exceptions, recognize
pre-acquisition loss and gain contingencies at their acquisition-date fair
values; (v) capitalize in-process research and development (IPR&D) assets
acquired; (vi) expense, as incurred, acquisition-related transaction costs;
(vii) capitalize acquisition-related restructuring costs only if the
criteria in SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities, are met as of the acquisition date; and (viii) recognize
changes that result from a business combination transaction in an acquirer’s
existing income tax valuation allowances and tax uncertainty accruals as
adjustments to income tax expense. SFAS 141(R) is required to be adopted
concurrently with SFAS 160 and is effective for business combination
transactions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the
first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
Early adoption of these statements is prohibited. Management is presently
evaluating the effect of adopting these statements.

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 quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Trust issued 36,000 restricted shares
to its Trustees with a total fair value of $39,240. 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 quarter
of fiscal year 2009, the Trust recognized expense on these shares totaling
$9,810. No such expense was recognized during the first quarter of fiscal year
2008.

5. 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% (5.5% as of April 30, 2008), 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. The line of credit matures on May
18, 2008. As of April 30, 2008 and January 31, 2008, the Trust had drawn
$129,312 and $750,000 of the funds available under the line or credit,
respectively.
On March
3, 2008, the Trust established a new unsecured $850,000 revolving line of credit
to replace the $750,000 line of credit when it matured on May 18, 2008. The new
line of credit bears interest at Wall Street Journal prime (5.0% as of April 30,
2008) and matures on July 15, 2009. The new line of credit carries no
financial covenants. As of April 30, 2008, the Trust had drawn $150,000 of the
funds available under the line of credit.

STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS, SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES
The Trust
paid $379,354 and $426,836 in cash for interest for the three months ended April
30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
7. INCOME
TAXES
The Trust
has recorded income tax provisions of $0 and $75,393 for the three months ended
April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which included a tax benefit of $0 and
$363,575, respectively, from the utilization of federal net operating loss carry
forwards. The Trust has a current income tax payable of $28,452
and $62,154 as of April 30, 2008 and January 31, 2008. At April 30, 2008
and January 31, 2008, the Trust maintained a 100% valuation allowance of
$722,011 and $723,885, respectively, against its net deferred income tax
assets. The Trust has calculated an annual effective tax rate
of 0% for purposes of calculating the income tax provision for the three
months ended April 30, 2008. The Trust anticipates a net loss for the
full fiscal year and would not anticipate recognizing any tax benefit in the
fiscal year for that loss. On April 30, 2008 the Trust has federal
net operating loss carryforwards of $9.4 million. There are no state
net operating loss carryforwards as of April 30, 2008.
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 April
30, 2008 and January 31, 2008.
8. HOTEL PROPERTIES HELD FOR SALE
The Board of Trustees in viewing the
hotel industry cycles determined that 2008-2009 may be a high point of the
current hotel industry cycle and further determined it was appropriate to
classify the five Hotels owned by the Trust as “Held for Sale.” The Trust is now
actively seeking buyers for its properties. The Trust has engaged the
services of several hotel brokers and is independently advertising its Hotels
for sale.
The Trust’s long-term strategic plan is
to obtain full benefit of its real estate equity to migrate the focus of the
Trust’s primary business 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
reduced real estate holdings and concentrated on hospitality services. The Trust
began its long-term corporate strategy when it relinquished its REIT status in
January 2004, which had previously prevented the Trust from providing management
services to hotels. In June 2004, the Trust acquired its trademark license and
management agreements and began providing management, trademark and reservations
services to its Hotels. In July 2007, the Board of Trustees agreed to list
and/or present for sale all five of the Trust’s hotel properties based on
substantial equity not readily seen by investors or then reflected in stock
prices.
The table below lists the hotel
properties, their respective carrying and mortgage value 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 have
in part and may in the future result in the Trust changing one or all of the
sales prices. If we are not successful selling one or more of our properties, we
may reclassify our properties as “Held and Used” and would record all unrecorded
depreciation expense on that date. The unrecorded depreciation expense as of
April 30, 2008 for all our hotel properties is $1.4 million.
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 provides the
Trust with the ability to significantly influence the operating and financial
policies of these Hotels. If any or all of these hotel properties are
sold, the Trust’s future management and/or licensing fees could be reduced if
the purchaser did not continue to retain InnSuites Hotels to provide those
services. In the past, when the Trust has sold hotel properties to unrelated
third parties, the Trust has continued to provide management and/or trademark
licensing services after a sale, although there can be no assurance that the
Trust will be able to successfully do so in the future.
As part of the Board study for
2008-2009, greater emphasis has been placed on hiring additional management
personnel, trademark and reservations fee income. The Trust has determined that
it is easier to sell management contracts when the trademark services are also
provided. Therefore the primary emphasis is on trademark and reservation
services. As part of the emphasis on trademark services, the Trust is
developing two trademark packages. The first is the “Traditional InnSuites
Hotels & Suites” regional package and the second is the “InnSuites Boutique
Collection,” which now includes two affiliate hotels managed by the
Trust. The Trust plans to add two additional affiliate hotels to the
Boutique Collection. Marketing of our new products is being handled by a third
party vendor, while sales are being handled internally.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this
Form 10-Q.
We own
the sole general partner’s interest in the Partnership. Our principal source of
cash flows is from the operations of the Hotels and management and licensing
contracts with affiliated and third-party hotels.
HOTEL
PROPERTIES HELD FOR SALE
We
classified our five Hotels as “Held for Sale” as of August 1, 2007, which is
part of our long-term strategic plan to migrate our focus from a hotel owner to
a hospitality service company by expanding our 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. We began our long-term corporate strategy when we
relinquished our REIT status in January 2004, which prevented us from providing
hospitality services to hotels. Then, in June 2004, we acquired our trademark
license and management agreements and began providing services to our Hotels. On
July 12, 2007, our Board of Trustees voted to list and/or present for sale all
five of our hotel properties. The sale of the Hotels will provide us 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.
We will
use the proceeds from the sale of the Hotels as needed to support hospitality
service operations as cash flows from current operations, primarily hotel room
revenue, decline 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. We estimate that the
transformation to a hospitality service company will add approximately $200,000
in salary and travel expenses to our current annual administrative expenses,
partially offset over time by a reduction in operations. The additional expense
is for sales personnel to market trademark license, management, reservation and
advertising services.
Initially,
we will focus our sales efforts in the western region of the United States and
concentrate our marketing efforts on unbranded hotels and hotels that are
changing brands. We expect the fees for our 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.
We have
listed all of our properties for sale. Our sales efforts were slowed by
sub-prime finance concerns, but have recently picked up as a result of lower
prime rates. We have received several offers. No earnest money
has been received and we have not entered into any definitive or binding
agreements to sell any of the properties as of the date of this report. If we
are not successful selling one or more of our properties, we may reclassify our
properties as “Held and Used” and would record all unrecorded depreciation
expense on that date. The unrecorded depreciation expense as of April 30, 2008
for all our hotel properties is $1.4 million.
Effective February 1, 2004, we
relinquished our REIT status. As of that date, any distributions to our
shareholders are not deductible for purposes of computing our taxable income and
we are subject to income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax,
on our taxable income at regular corporate rates, without offset for
distributions of such income to our shareholders. As of January 31, 2008,
we had $10.1 million in federal net loss carryforward available to offset future
federal tax liability.
RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation
48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 10” (“FIN 48”), which became effective for years
beginning on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 addressed the determination of how
tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be
recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, we must recognize the
tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not
that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities,
based on the technical merits of the position. We are subject to U.S
federal income taxes as well as numerous state tax jurisdictions. Our
assessments of our tax positions in accordance with FIN 48 did not result in
changes that had a material impact on results of operations, financial condition
or liquidity. While we do not have any interest and penalties related to
income taxes, our policy is to recognize such expenses as tax
expense.
The tax
years 2005 through 2008 remain open to examination by the federal and state
taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value
Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes
a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We
adopted SFAS No. 157 on February 1, 2008 and such
adoption did not have a material impact on financial condition,
results of operations or liquidity.
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. We do not have any defined benefit postretirement plans,
and SFAS No. 158 will not have any impact on our financial condition and results
of operations.
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 us on February 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have
an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June
2006, the FASB issued 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. We report our revenue net
of sales taxes and our management plans to continue to report revenue net of
sales tax.
-8-
In
December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141(Revised 2007),
Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”) and Statement No. 160, “Accounting
and Reporting of Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,
an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). These statements will
significantly change the financial accounting and reporting of business
combination transactions and non-controlling (or minority) interests in
consolidated financial statements. SFAS 141(R) requires companies to: (i)
recognize, with certain exceptions, 100% of the fair values of assets acquired,
liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests in acquisitions of less than
a 100% controlling interest when the acquisition constitutes a change in control
of the acquired entity; (ii) measure acquirer shares issued in
consideration for a business combination at fair value on the acquisition date;
(iii) recognize contingent consideration arrangements at their
acquisition-date fair values, with subsequent changes in fair value generally
reflected in earnings; (iv) with certain exceptions, recognize
pre-acquisition loss and gain contingencies at their acquisition-date fair
values; (v) capitalize in-process research and development (IPR&D) assets
acquired; (vi) expense, as incurred, acquisition-related transaction costs;
(vii) capitalize acquisition-related restructuring costs only if the
criteria in SFAS 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities,” are met as of the acquisition date; and (viii) recognize
changes that result from a business combination transaction in an acquirer’s
existing income tax valuation allowances and tax uncertainty accruals as
adjustments to income tax expense. SFAS 141(R) is required to be adopted
concurrently with SFAS 160 and is effective for business combination
transactions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the
first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
Early adoption of these statements is prohibited. Our management is presently
evaluating the effect of adopting these statements.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Our expenses consist primarily of hotel
operating expenses, property taxes, insurance, corporate overhead, interest on
mortgage debt, professional fees and depreciation of the Hotels. Our operating
performance 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 78.9%, a decrease of 3.4% from the prior year period. ADR
increased $5.56, or 6.6%, to $89.70. The increase in ADR, offset by reduced
occupancy, resulted in an increase of $1.54, or 2.2%, in REVPAR to $70.81 from
$69.27 in the prior year period.
The
following table shows occupancy, ADR and REVPAR for the periods
indicated:

Our total
revenue was $6.8 million for the three months ended April 30, 2008, an increase
of $267,000, or 4.1%, when compared with the prior year period total of $6.5
million. Revenues from hotel operations, which include Room, Food and
Beverage, Telecommunications and Other revenues, increased 4.5% to $5.9 million
from $5.6 million when comparing the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, primarily due to higher average rates, primarily at the Southern
Arizona properties.
Total
expenses were $4.9 million for the three months ended April 30, 2008, a decrease
of $447,000, or 8.3%, compared to the prior year period. Total operating
expenses decreased $370,000, or 7.5%, to $4.6 million from $4.9 million for the
three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The
decreases were primarily a result of the cessation of depreciation on the hotel
properties held for sale.
General
and administrative expenses totaled $836,000, which was relatively consistent
with the prior period total of $806,000.
Hotel
property depreciation expense was $16,000 for the three months ended April 30,
2008, a decrease of $474,000, or 96.7%, 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 $385,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2008, a
decrease of $78,000, or 16.8%, compared to prior year period total of
$463,000. Interest expense on mortgage notes decreased $53,000, or
12.4%, to $376,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2008, due primarily to
the effect of the reduced prime rate on the Tucson St. Mary’s
mortgage. Interest expense on notes payable to banks decreased
$10,000, or 67.3%, to $5,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2008, due
primarily to the refinancing of the bank line of credit secured by the Tucson
St. Mary’s property with the mortgage secured by that
property. Interest expense on related party notes payable decreased
$13,000, or 93.3%, to $1,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2008, due
primarily to the line of credit due to Rare Earth Financial, LLC, an affiliate
of Wirth, being satisfied before the beginning of fiscal year 2009.

FUNDS
FROM OPERATIONS (FFO)
We
recognize that industry analysts and investors use Funds From Operations (“FFO”)
as a financial measure to evaluate and compare equity REITs. We also believe it
is meaningful as an indicator of net income, excluding most non-cash items, and
provides information about our cash available for distributions, debt service
and capital expenditures. We follow 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 our 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
our 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, our FFO may not be comparable to other companies’ FFO due to differing
methods of calculating FFO and varying interpretations of the NAREIT
definition.

from Operations increased approximately $243,000 for the three month period

operating results at the hotel properties.

LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Through
our ownership interest in the Partnership, Yuma Hospitality LP and InnSuites
Hotels, we have our 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. Our principal source of
cash to meet our cash requirements, including distributions to our shareholders,
is our share of these cash flows. Our liquidity, including our ability to make
distributions to our shareholders, will depend upon the ability to generate
sufficient cash flows from hotel operations.
We have
principal of $724,633 due and payable for the remainder of fiscal year 2009
under mortgage notes payable. For the period between May 1, 2008 and October 31,
2009, we have principal of $968,167 due and payable under mortgage notes
payable. We anticipate that cash flows from operations will be sufficient to
satisfy these obligations as they become due.
We
entered into an agreement for an unsecured bank line of credit on August 18,
2006. Under the agreement, we can draw $750,000, bearing interest at prime plus
0.5% (5.5% as of April 30, 2008), with interest-only payments due monthly.
During specified times over the duration of the line of credit, we must pay the
line of credit down to zero and are unable to borrow against the line of credit
for a period of 30 days. The line of credit matured on May 18, 2008
and was replaced by a new $850,000 revolving line of credit, as discussed below.
As of April 30, 2008, we had drawn $129,312 of the funds available under this
line or credit.
On March
3, 2008, we established a new unsecured $850,000 revolving line of credit. The
new line of credit bears interest at WSJ prime (5.0% as of April 30, 2008) and
matures on July 15, 2009. The new line of credit carries no financial
covenants. As of April 30, 2008, we had drawn $150,000 of the funds available
under the line of credit.
We may
seek to negotiate additional credit facilities or issue debt instruments. Any
debt incurred or issued by us 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 we consider prudent.
We
continue 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 our properties. As of
April 30, 2008, $219,182 was held in restricted capital expenditure funds and is
included on our 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, 2008, the Hotels spent $265,478 for capital expenditures
of which $258,126 related to "Hotels Held for Sale." We consider the
majority of these improvements to be revenue producing. These amounts have
been capitalized and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. As of
August 1, 2007, we ceased depreciation on “Hotels Held for Sale.” The Hotels
also spent $364,006 and $354,638 during the three-month periods ended April 30,
2008 and April 30, 2007, respectively, on repairs and maintenance and these
amounts have been charged to expense as incurred.
As of
April 30, 2008, we have 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, we do not have any
off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities. We do not have any
majority-owned subsidiaries that are not included in the consolidated financial
statements. (See Note 2 - “Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies.”)
-11-
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 our 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 our hotel business. To the extent that cash flows from operations are
insufficient during any quarter, because of temporary or seasonal fluctuations
in revenue, we may utilize other cash on hand or borrowings to make
distributions to our shareholders or to meet operating needs. We can give no
assurance that we 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,” “will be,” “should

We do not
undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking
statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not required for smaller reporting
companies.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
our management, including our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the
period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to
our management, including our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
As of
April 30, 2008, we had an entity-level material weakness in our control
environment related to an insufficient number of accounting and finance
personnel. This material weakness resulted in non-material errors in several of
our significant accounts, specifically Accrued Expenses and Equity Transactions.
As a result, management’s controls over financial close and reporting procedures
are insufficient. Management is in the process of hiring a full-time controller.
Hiring a full-time controller will both provide a secondary review for key
analysis and the capacity for the implementation of new financial reporting
internal controls.
Other
than as described above, there was no change in our internal control over
financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.

September 10, 2007, our 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.
