1. NATURE
OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
InnSuites
Hospitality Trust (the “Trust”) is an unincorporated real estate investment
trust in the State of Ohio that at October 31, 2009 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 three unrelated hotel properties with
an aggregate of 242 suites. Under the licensing agreements, InnSuites Hotels
receives a percentage of revenue from the hotels in exchange for use of the
“InnSuites” trademark. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, Mr. Wirth
gave notice cancelling the existing revenue-based licensing agreements with the
four hotels owned by affiliates of Mr. Wirth with an aggregate of 544 suites,
effective December 31,
2009. New agreements based on a per-room fee will be effective for
these four hotels commencing January 1, 2010.
The
Trust’s general partnership interest in the Partnership was 71.41% and 70.94% as
of October 31, 2009 and January 31, 2009, respectively. The weighted
average for the nine months ended October 31, 2009 and 2008 was 71.21% and
70.75%, respectively. The weighted average for the three months ended October
31, 2009 and 2008 was 71.41% and 70.94%, 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. A total of 369,391and 431,598 Class A limited partnership
units were issued and outstanding as of October 31, 2009 and January 31, 2009,
respectively. Additionally, as of October 31, 2009 and January 31, 2009, 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 3,777,329 Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust as of October 31,
2009. The Trust held 9,434,188 and 9,371,981 General Partner Units as of October
31, 2009 and January 31, 2009, respectively.
BASIS OF
PRESENTATION
The
financial statements of the Partnership, InnSuites Hotels and Yuma Hospitality
LP are consolidated with the Trust, and all significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.
These
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for
Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete
consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine-month period
ended October 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended January 31, 2010. 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, 2009.
In August 2007, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance which required
non-controlling interests to be separately presented as a component of
shareholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated statement of
equity. Effective February 1, 2009, we adopted this guidance.

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 FASB authoritative guidance related to
the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. For hotel properties
held for use, if the carrying value of an asset exceeds the estimated future
undiscounted cash flows over its estimated remaining life, the Trust recognizes
an impairment expense to reduce the asset’s carrying value to its fair value.
Fair value is determined by either the most current third-party property
appraisal, if available or the present value of future undiscounted cash flows
over the remaining life of the asset. In cases where the Trust does not expect
to recover the carrying cost of hotel properties held for sale, it will reduce
the carrying value to the sales price less costs to sell. The Trust’s evaluation
of future cash flows is based on historical experience and other factors,
including certain economic conditions and committed future bookings. The
estimated future cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions
about expected future operating performance and may differ from actual cash
flows.
LIQUIDITY
The
Trust’s principal source of cash to meet its cash requirements, including
distributions to its shareholders, is the Trust’s share of the Partnership’s
cash flow and its direct ownership of the Yuma, Arizona property. The
Partnership’s principal source of revenue is hotel operations for the four hotel
properties it owns. The Trust’s liquidity, including its ability to
make distributions to its shareholders, will depend upon the Trust’s ability and
the Partnership’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow from hotel
operations.
Hotel
operations are significantly affected by occupancy and room rates, which
decreased from fiscal year 2009 to fiscal year 2010. Results are also
significantly impacted by overall economic conditions and conditions in the
travel industry. Unfavorable changes in these factors could negatively impact
hotel room demand and pricing, which would reduce our profit margins on rented
suites.
In past years, the Trust has relied on
cash flows from operations to meet its financial obligations as they come due.
However, for the remainder of fiscal year 2010 (November 1, 2009 through January
31, 2010), the Trust’s management had projected that cash flows from operations
alone may not be sufficient to meet all of its financial obligations as they
come due in the last quarter of the fiscal year 2010. Based on this projection,
the Trust refinanced its Yuma and Albuquerque hotel properties during the last
twelve months, netting enough cash for management to believe that it will meet
all of its financial obligations as they come due during fiscal year 2010 and
fiscal year 2011.
In addition, the Trust has an
established $850,000 line of credit, of which approximately $830,000 was
available at October 31, 2009. Also, management of the Trust is currently
exploring the possibility of refinancing certain hotel properties.
HOTEL
PROPERTIES HELD FOR SALE
On August
1, 2007, the Trust classified its hotel properties as “held for sale.” On August
1, 2008, the Trust reclassified its hotel properties from “held for sale” to
“held and used.” The Trust, after one year of efforts, failed to find any
qualified buyers for its hotel properties. Although the hotel properties are not
classified as “held for sale” as of October 31, 2009 and January 31, 2009, we
continue to be willing to discuss potential sales with qualified buyers for our
hotels and will continue to migrate our primary business from a hotel owner to a
hospitality service company providing trademark licensing and management
services.
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.
LOSS PER
SHARE
Basic and
diluted loss per share have been computed based on the weighted-average number
of Shares of Beneficial Interest outstanding during the periods and potentially
dilutive securities.
For the
nine months ended October 31, 2009 and 2008, 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 incremental increase of the Shares of Beneficial Interest would
have been 3,803,989 and 3,864,008 for the first nine months of fiscal year 2010
and 2009, respectively. The aggregate weighted-average incremental
increase of the Shares of Beneficial Interest would have been 3,777,329 and
3,839,536 for the three months ended October 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended
October 31, 2009 and 2008, the Class A and Class B limited partnership units
were anti-dilutive.

RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
June 2009, the FASB established the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (the “Codification” or “ASC”) as the source of authoritative
accounting principles recognized by FASB to be applied by nongovernmental
entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. All
existing accounting standard documents are superseded by the Codification and
accounting literature not included in the Codification will not be
authoritative. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) issued under the authority of federal securities laws will
continue to be sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The
Codification is topically based with topics organized by ASC number and updated
with Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The Codification is effective for
interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. The
Trust adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 (codified
in ASC Topic 105) on August 1, 2009, which did not have a material impact on the
Trust’s financial position or results of operations.
3.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
For the
three and nine months ended October 31, 2009, the Trust recognized expenses of
$5,850 and $17,550, respectively, related to stock-based compensation. The Trust
did not issue any restricted shares during the first nine months of fiscal year
2010.

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 three months and
nine months ended October 31, 2008, the Trust recognized expense of $9,810 and
$29,430, respectively. The Trust did not issue any restricted shares
during the second or third quarters of fiscal year 2009.

5. NOTES
PAYABLE TO BANKS
On March
3, 2008, the Trust established an $850,000 revolving line of credit to replace
the $750,000 line of credit that matured on May 18, 2008. The line of credit,
with an original maturity date of July 15, 2009, had no financial covenants and
bore interest at Wall Street Journal prime. During the second quarter of fiscal
year 2010, the Trust extended the maturity date of the line of credit to June
30, 2010. In addition, the extension agreement implemented an
interest rate floor of 6.25%, which was the effective rate as of October 31,
2009, and granted additional security to the lender through a junior lien on the
Yuma, Arizona property. As of October 31, 2009, the Trust had drawn
$20,738 of the funds available under the line of credit.

7. COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES
Two of
the Hotels are subject to non-cancelable ground leases expiring in 2050 and
2033. Total expense associated with the non-cancelable ground leases
for the nine months ended October 31, 2009 was $152,774, plus a variable
component based on gross revenues of each property that totaled approximately
$57,578. Total expense associated with the non-cancelable ground leases for the
nine months ended October 31, 2008 was $151,770, plus a variable component based
on gross revenues of each property that totaled approximately
$64,302.
During
the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Trust entered into a five-year
office lease for its corporate headquarters. The Trust recorded
$6,156 of general and administrative expense related to the lease during the
three-month and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2009. The lease
includes a base rent charge of $24,000 for the first lease year with annual
increases to a final year base rent of $39,600. The Trust has the
option to cancel the lease after each lease year for penalties of four months
rent after the first year with the penalty decreasing by one month’s rent each
successive lease year. It is the Trust’s intention to remain in the
office for the duration of the five-year lease period.

The Trust
is obligated under loan agreements relating to four of its Hotels to deposit 4%
of the individual Hotel’s room revenue into an escrow account to be used for
capital expenditures. The escrow funds applicable to the four Hotel
properties for which a mortgage lender escrow exists are reported on the Trust’s
Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Restricted Cash.”
InnSuites
Hotels has entered into franchise arrangements with Best Western International
for four of the Hotel properties. These agreements provide for fees
to be paid by the Hotels based on revenue and reservations received, and contain
no minimum payment provisions.
The
nature of the operations of the Hotels exposes them to risks of claims and
litigation in the normal course of their business. Although the
outcome of these matters cannot be determined, management does not expect that
the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on
the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the
Trust.
The Trust
is involved from time to time in various other claims and legal actions arising
in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the
ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on
the Trust’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or
liquidity.
8. CHANGE
IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
On
February 1, 2009, we adopted the authoritative guidance issued by the FASB that
changes the accounting and reporting for non-controlling interests.
Non-controlling interests are to be reported as a component of equity separate
from the parent’s equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not
result in a change in control are to be accounted for as equity transactions. In
addition, net income attributable to a non-controlling interest is to be
included in net income and, upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well
as any interest retained, is to be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss
recognized in net income. Adoption of the new guidance did not have a material
impact on our financial statements. This resulted
in a change in accounting principle and in changes to the presentation of the
Trust’s consolidated financial statements. As a result of these
changes, total shareholders’ equity decreased by $352,689 and increased by
$127,040 as of October 31, 2009 and January 31, 2009, respectively, due to the
reclassification of the non-controlling interest to shareholders’
equity. The adoption had no effect on net income attributable to
controlling interests, basic net income per share, or diluted net income per
share for the three-month and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2009 and
2008.
9. SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
In preparing these financial
statements, the Trust evaluated subsequent events through the time the financial
statements were issued on December 1, 2009. Financial statements are considered
issued when they are widely distributed to all shareholders and other financial
statement users, or filed with the SEC. In conjunction with applicable
accounting standards, all material subsequent events have either been recognized
in the financial statements or disclosed in the notes to the financial
statements.

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.
Our
principal source of cash to meet our cash requirements, including distributions
to our shareholders, is our share of the Partnership’s cash flow and its direct
ownership of the Yuma, Arizona property. The Partnership’s principal
source of revenue is hotel operations for the four hotel properties it
owns. Our liquidity, including our ability to make distributions to
our shareholders, will depend upon our ability and the Partnership’s ability to
generate sufficient cash flow from hotel operations.
Hotel
operations are significantly affected by occupancy and room rates, which
decreased from fiscal year 2009 to fiscal year 2010. Our results of
operations are also significantly impacted by overall economic conditions and
conditions in the travel industry. Unfavorable changes in these factors could
negatively impact hotel room demand and pricing, which would reduce our profit
margins on rented suites.
In past
years, we have relied on cash flows from operations to meet our financial
obligations as they come due. However, for the remainder of fiscal
year 2010 (November 1, 2009 through January 31, 2010), our management had
projected that cash flows from operations alone may not be sufficient to meet
all of our financial obligations as they come due in the last quarter of fiscal
year 2010. Based on this projection, we refinanced our Yuma and Albuquerque
hotel properties during the last twelve months, netting enough cash for
management to believe that we will meet all of our financial obligations as they
come due during fiscal year 2010 and fiscal year 2011.
In
addition, we have an established $850,000 line of credit, of which approximately
$830,000 was available at October 31, 2009. Also, we are currently exploring the
possibility of refinancing certain hotel properties.
HOTEL
PROPERTIES HELD FOR SALE
We reclassified all of our hotel
properties from “held for sale” to “held and used” in the quarter ended October
31, 2008. Due to the economic conditions and credit market restraints, the funds
were not available to potential buyers to finance a purchase of one or more of
our hotels. As a result of this reclassification, we recorded $1.9 million in
depreciation expense during the quarter ended October 31, 2008 that was
previously suspended while the assets were “held for sale.”
We continue to be willing to discuss
potential sales with qualified buyers for our hotels and will continue to
migrate our primary business from a hotel owner to a hospitality service company
providing trademark licensing and management services.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
In our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2009, we
identified the critical accounting policies that affect our more significant
estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial
statements. Those policies include accounting for property, plant and equipment,
cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, revenue recognition, receivables and
allowance for doubtful accounts, stock based compensation, income taxes,
dividends and distributions, minority interest, income (loss) per share and fair
value of financial instruments, new accounting pronouncements, segment reporting
and advertising cost. We have not changed these policies from those previously
disclosed in our Annual Report.
10
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 58.6% for the nine
months ended October 31, 2009, a decrease of 6.0% from the prior year same
period. ADR decreased $8.21, or 10.1%, to $73.48. The decreases in ADR and
reduced occupancy resulted in a decrease of $9.68, or 18.4%, in REVPAR to $43.06
from $52.74 in the prior year period. The decrease in occupancy is due to
the downward trend in our economy causing less vacation and fewer business
travelers.
The
following table shows occupancy, ADR and REVPAR for the periods
indicated:

During
each fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2010, each of these operating statistics has
decreased as compared to the corresponding fiscal quarter in fiscal year 2009.
No assurance can be given that the trends reflected in this data will improve or
that occupancy, ADR or REVPAR will not continue to decrease as a result of
changes in national or local economic or hospitality industry conditions. We
expect the current global recession to negatively affect our business through
the end of this year. During calendar year 2010, we expect small improvements in
occupancy and ADR during the first half of the year as compared to prior year
periods, with more improvement in growth during the last half of the calendar
year.

For the
nine months ended October 31, 2009, our total revenue was $13.1 million, a
decrease of $2.9 million, or 18.3%, compared with the prior year period of $16.0
million. Revenues from hotel operations, which include Room, Food and Beverage,
Telecommunications and Other revenues, decreased 19.7% to $10.8 million for the
nine months ended October 31, 2009, from $13.4 million for the nine months ended
October 31, 2008. Hotel operations, including Food and Beverage operations,
experienced a significant decrease in revenues during the first nine months of
fiscal year 2010 due to lower occupancy and increased rate pressure. Expenses
may not decline proportionately with a decline in revenues due to a high degree
of operational and financial leverage in our hotel business.
Total
expenses of $14.2 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2009 decreased
$2.6 million, or 15.6%, from the prior year period total of $16.9
million. Total operating expenses of $13.1 million for the nine
months ended October 31, 2009 decreased $2.7 million, or 17.0%, from the prior
year period total of $15.8 million. The majority of the hotel
operating expenses decreased due to lower occupancy. Hotel property depreciation
decreased $952,000 for the current nine-month period compared to the prior year
nine-month period due to the reclassification of the hotel properties
from “held for sale” to “held and used” during the third quarter of fiscal year
2009, which resulted in additional depreciation expense recognized for prior
periods during which depreciation had been suspended.
General
and administrative expense was $2.2 million for the nine months ended October
31, 2009, a decrease of $288,000, or 11.4%, from the prior year period total of
$2.5 million. The decrease was primarily due to reduced professional fees
and salary expenses incurred by the Trust.
Total
interest expense was $1.2 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2009, an
increase of $38,000, or 3.4%, from the prior year period. Mortgage
interest expense was $1.2 million, an increase of $52,000, or 4.8%, from the
prior year period. The increase was primarily due to increased
mortgage borrowings as a result of the refinancing of the Yuma hotel
property.

For the
three months ended October 31, 2009, our total revenue was $3.6 million, a
decrease of $627,000, or 14.8%, compared with the prior year period of $4.2
million. Revenues from hotel operations, which include Room, Food and Beverage,
Telecommunications and Other revenues, decreased 15.7% to $2.9 million for the
three months ended October 31, 2009, from $3.4 million for the three months
ended October 31, 2008. Hotel operations, including Food and Beverage
operations, experienced a significant decrease in revenues during the third
quarter of fiscal year 2010 due to lower occupancy and increased rate pressure.
Expenses may not decline proportionately with a decline in revenues due to a
high degree of operational and financial leverage in the hotel
industry.
Total
expenses were $4.4 million for the three months ended October 31, 2009, a
decrease of $2.6 million, or 36.9%, from the prior year period total of $7.0
million. Total operating expenses were $4.0 million for the three months
ended October 31, 2009, a decrease of $2.6 million, or 39.6%, from the prior
year period total of $6.6 million. The majority of the hotel operating
expenses decreased due to lower occupancy. Hotel property depreciation decreased
$1.9 million for the current three-month period compared to the prior year
three-month period due to the reclassification of the hotel
properties from “held for sale” to “held and used” during the third quarter of
fiscal year 2009, which resulted in additional depreciation expense recognized
for prior periods during which depreciation had been suspended.
General
and administrative expense was $655,000 for the three months ended October 31,
2009, a decrease of $207,000, or 24.0%, from the prior year period total of
$862,000. The decrease was primarily due to reduced professional fees and salary
expenses incurred by the Trust.
Total
interest expense was $412,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2009, an
increase of $40,000, or 10.7%, from the prior year period. Mortgage
interest expense was $399,000, an increase of $42,000, or 11.8%, from the prior
year period. The increase was primarily due to increased mortgage
borrowings as a result of the refinancing of the Yuma hotel
property.

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. The following table shows the reconciliation of FFO to
Net Income Attributable to Shares of Beneficial Interest:

FFO
decreased approximately $724,000 for the nine month period ended October 31,
2009, reflecting a decrease of 58.7% when compared to the prior year period. The
decrease was primarily due to lower occupancies and room rates resulting in less
revenue during the period. FFO increased approximately $259,000 for
the three month period ended October 31, 2009, reflecting an increase of 63.7%
when compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily
due to lower corporate-level expenses during the period.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Through
our ownership interest in the Partnership, Yuma Hospitality LP and InnSuites
Hotels, we have a 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 $189,523 due and payable for the remainder of fiscal year 2010
under mortgage notes payable. For the period between November 1, 2009 and
October 31, 2010, we have principal of $805,404 due and payable under mortgage
notes payable. We anticipate that current cash balances, future cash flows from
operations and available credit will be sufficient to satisfy these obligations
as they become due. In the event cash flows from operations are insufficient to
satisfy these obligations as they become due, we may seek to negotiate
additional credit facilities or issue debt instruments.
We have
no principal due and payable for the remainder of fiscal year 2010 or thereafter
under notes and advances payable to Mr. Wirth and his affiliates.
We
entered into an agreement for an unsecured bank line of credit on August 18,
2006. Under the agreement, we could draw $750,000, bearing interest at prime
plus 0.5%, with interest-only payments due monthly. During specified times over
the duration of the line of credit, we were required to 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, was paid in
full, and was replaced by an $850,000 revolving line of credit, as discussed
below.
13
On March
3, 2008, we established an $850,000 revolving line of credit to replace the
$750,000 line of credit that matured on May 18, 2008. The line of credit, with
an original maturity date of July 15, 2009, had no financial covenants and bore
interest at Wall Street Journal prime. During the second quarter of fiscal year
2010, we extended the maturity date of the line of credit to June 30,
2010. In addition, the extension agreement implemented an interest
rate floor of 6.25%, which was the effective rate as of October 31, 2009, and
granted additional security to the lender through a junior lien on the Yuma,
Arizona property. As of October 31, 2009,we had drawn $20,738 of the
funds available under the line of credit.
During
the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, we refinanced our mortgage note payable
secured by the Albuquerque, New Mexico property. The new mortgage
note payable is $1.5 million, bears interest at 7.75% and matures on November 1,
2021. The note is due in 144 monthly principal and interest
installments of $16,032. We used the $1.5 million to fully satisfy
our $882,776 mortgage note payable secured by the property and received $617,224
in net cash proceeds from the refinancing.
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
October 31, 2009, $74,648 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 nine
months ended October 31, 2009, the Hotels spent $698,969 for capital
expenditures. We consider 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 $891,619
and $1,129,404 during the nine-month periods ended October 31, 2009 and October
31, 2008, respectively, on repairs and maintenance and these amounts have been
charged to expense as incurred. The Hotels also spent $296,297 and $379,121
during the three-month periods ended October 31, 2009 and July 31, 2008,
respectively, on repairs and maintenance and these amounts have been charged to
expense as incurred.
As of
October 31, 2009, 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 and legal contingencies incurred in the normal course of
business, 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.”)
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. No assurance can
be given that we will make distributions in the future.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not required for smaller reporting
companies.
ITEM
4(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the
end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, of our 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 our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of October 31, 2009 to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit 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 our management, including the principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
As
previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, at January 31, 2009,
management concluded that we had an entity-level material weakness related to
certain of our employees who had incompatible responsibilities within our
accounting systems. Management concluded that we did not maintain
effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2009,
based on the criteria described under Item 9A(T) of our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended January 31, 2009, because we did not have evidence of
effective processes to ensure that all journal entries and reconciliations were
properly reviewed. For the period ended October 31, 2009, management implemented
processes to document evidence of our controls and procedures which corrected
the material weakness described above.
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.

On
January 2, 2001, our Board of Trustees approved a share repurchase program
under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for
the purchase of up to 250,000 limited partnership units in the Partnership
and/or Shares of Beneficial Interest in open market or privately negotiated
transactions. Additionally, on September 10, 2002, August 18, 2005 and
September 10, 2007, 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.
Additionally, on January 5, 2009, the Board of Trustees approved the purchase of
up to 300,000 additional limited partnership units in the Partnership and/or
Shares of Beneficial Interest in open market or privately negotiated
transactions. Additionally, on September 15, 2009, the Board of Trustees
approved the purchase of up to 250,000 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 October 31, 2009, we
acquired 317,194 Shares of Beneficial Interest in open market and
privately-negotiated transactions at an average price of $1.34 per
share. We intend to continue repurchasing Shares of Beneficial
Interest in compliance with applicable legal and NYSE Amex requirements. We
remain authorized to repurchase an additional 52,667 limited partnership units
in the Partnership and/or Shares of Beneficial Interest pursuant to the share
repurchase program, which has no expiration date.
