NOTES TO
UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF
JULY 31 AND JANUARY 31, 2009
AND FOR
THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2009 AND 2008
1. NATURE
OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
InnSuites
Hospitality Trust (the “Trust”) is an unincorporated real estate investment
trust in the State of Ohio that at July 31, 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 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 71.41% and 70.94% as
of July 31, 2009 and January 31, 2009, respectively. The weighted
average for the six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008 was 71.06% and 70.66%,
respectively. The weighted average for the three months ended July 31, 2009 and
2008 was 71.27% and 70.60%, 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 July 31, 2009 and January 31,
2009, respectively. Additionally, as of July 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 July 31, 2009. The Trust held 9,434,188 and 9,371,981 General Partner
Units as of July 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 six-month period
ended July 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.

Effective February 1, 2009 we adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 160, Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment to ARB No. 51
(“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160, which was retroactively applied,
requires the noncontrolling interest to be separately presented as a component
of shareholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated statement of
equity.
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 SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the
Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” For hotel properties held for use,
if the carrying value of an asset exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash
flows over its estimated remaining life, the Trust recognizes an impairment
expense to reduce the asset’s carrying value to its fair value. Fair value is
determined by either the most current third-party property appraisal, if
available, or the present value of future undiscounted cash flows over the
remaining life of the asset. In cases where the Trust does not expect to recover
the carrying cost of hotel properties held for sale, it will reduce the carrying
value to the sales price less costs to sell. The Trust’s evaluation of future
cash flows is based on historical experience and other factors, including
certain economic conditions and committed future bookings. The estimated future
cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about expected future
operating performance and may differ from actual cash flows.
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 July 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.
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
six months ended July 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 3,817,540 and 3,876,447 for the first six months of fiscal year 2010
and 2009, respectively. The aggregate weighted-average incremental
increase of the Shares of Beneficial Interest would have been 3,796,262 and
3,876,447 for the three months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. For the three-month and six-month periods ended July
31, 2009, the Class A and Class B limited partnership units were
anti-dilutive.
The following is a reconciliation of
basic income per share to diluted income per share for the three and six month
periods ended July 31, 2008. A reconciliation for the three and
six-month periods ended July 31, 2009 is not included as the limited partnership
units were anti-dilutive for those periods:

RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”) No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes general standards
of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet
date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be
issued. SFAS No. 165 provides guidance on the period after the balance
sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events
or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the
financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize
events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial
statements and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or
transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The Trust adopted SFAS
No. 165 during the second quarter of 2009, and its application had no
impact on the Trust’s consolidated financial statements. The Trust evaluated
subsequent events through the date the accompanying financial statements were
issued, which was September 3, 2009.

utilization of net operating losses for the year ended January 31, 2010 in
calculating an effective tax rate and the related income tax provision for the
six months ended July 31, 2009. On July 31, 2009, the Trust has federal
net operating loss carryforwards of $10.1 million. There are no state
net operating loss carryforwards as of July 31, 2009.

8. 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 six months ended July 31, 2009 was $101,910, plus a variable component
based on gross revenues of each property that totaled approximately $43,934.
Total expense associated with the non-cancelable ground leases for the six
months ended July 31, 2008 was $101,180, plus a variable component based on
gross revenues of each property that totaled approximately $46,435.
During
the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Trust entered into a five-year
office lease for its corporate headquarters. The Trust recorded no
expense related to the lease during the three-month or six-month periods ended
July 31, 2009 and 2008. 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.
Future
minimum lease payments under the non-cancelable ground leases and office lease
are as follows:

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.
9. CHANGE
IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
The
required adoption of SFAS 160 resulted in a change in accounting principle under
the provisions of SFAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections.” SFAS 160 resulted in changes to the presentation of the
Trust’s consolidated financial statements. As a result of these
changes, total shareholders’ equity decreased to $109,466 and increased to
$127,040 as of July 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 six-month periods ended July 31, 2009 and
2008. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Trust
repurchased 62,207 limited partnership units in the Partnership and 54,372
Shares of Beneficial Interest from a non-controlling interest holder at $1.70
per unit and share using a $198,000 promissory note. There were no
other transactions between the Trust and non-controlling interest holders,
including purchases, sales, distribution or contributions, during the
three-month and six-month periods ended July 31, 2009 and 2008.

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 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.
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 63.0% for the six
months ended July 31, 2009, a decrease of 6.9% from the prior year same period.
ADR decreased $8.86, or 10.5%, to $75.36. The decreases in ADR and reduced
occupancy resulted in a decrease of $11.36, or 19.3%, in REVPAR to $47.48 from
$58.84 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. We project that this trend will continue through late
2009.
The
following table shows occupancy, ADR and REVPAR for the periods
indicated:

No
assurance can be given that the trends reflected in this data will continue or
that occupancy, ADR or REVPAR will not 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 late
2009.

For the
six months ended July 31, 2009, our total revenue was $9.5 million, a decrease
of $2.3 million, or 19.6%, compared with the prior year period of $11.8 million.
Revenues from hotel operations, which include Room, Food and Beverage,
Telecommunications and Other revenues, decreased 20.7% to $7.9 million for the
six months ended July 31, 2009, from $10.0 million for the six months ended July
31, 2008. Hotel operations, including Food and Beverage operations, experienced
a significant decrease in revenues during the first six months of fiscal 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 $9.8 million for the six months ended July 31, 2009 were consistent
with the prior year period total of $9.8 million. Total operating
expenses of $9.0 million were also consistent with the prior year period total
operating expenses of $9.1 million. The majority of the hotel
operating expenses decreased due to lower occupancy, offset by an increase of
$947,000 in hotel property depreciation expense for the current six 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.
General
and administrative expense was $1.6 million for the six months ended July 31,
2009, a decrease of $81,000, or 4.9%, from prior year period total of $1.7
million. The decrease was primarily due to reduced professional fees
incurred by the Trust.
Total
interest expense was $759,000 for the six months ended July 31, 2009, consistent
with the prior year period total of $760,000. The Trust expects
future interest expense to increase due to the interest rate floor implemented
on its $850,000 line of credit.

For the
three months ended July 31, 2009, our total revenue was $4.0 million, a decrease
of $1.0 million, or 20.4%, compared with the prior year period of $5.0 million.
Revenues from hotel operations, which include Room, Food and Beverage,
Telecommunications and Other revenues, decreased 22.9% to $3.2 million for the
three months ended July 31, 2009, from $4.1 million for the three months ended
July 31, 2008. Hotel operations, including Food and Beverage operations,
experienced a significant decrease in revenues during the second quarter of
fiscal 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 of $4.9 million for the three months ended July 31, 2009 were
consistent with the prior year period total of $4.9 million. Total
operating expenses of $4.5 million were also consistent with the prior year
period total operating expenses of $4.6 million. The majority of the
hotel operating expenses decreased due to lower occupancy, offset by an increase
of $468,000 in hotel property depreciation expense for the current quarter, due
to the reclassification of the hotel properties from “held for sale” to “held
and used” during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009.
General
and administrative expense was $734,000 for the three months ended July 31,
2009, a decrease of $96,000, or 11.5%, from the prior year period total of
$830,000. The decrease was primarily due to reduced professional fees incurred
by the Trust.
Total
interest expense was $376,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2009,
consistent with the prior year period total of $375,000.

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 $980,000 for the six month period ended July 31, 2009,
reflecting a decrease of 59.9% when compared to the prior year period. FFO
decreased approximately $380,000 for the three month period ended July 31, 2009,
reflecting a decrease of over 100% when compared to the prior year
period. The decreases were primarily due to lower occupancies and
room rates resulting in less revenue 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 $406,683 due and payable for the remainder of fiscal year 2010
under mortgage notes payable. For the period between August 1, 2009 and July 31,
2010, we have principal of $835,461 due and payable under mortgage notes
payable. We anticipate that current cash balances and future cash flows from
operations 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 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, was paid in full,
and was replaced by an $850,000 revolving line of credit, as discussed
below.
On March
3, 2008, we established an $850,000 revolving line of credit. The line of credit
has no financial covenants, bore interest at Wall Street Journal prime (3.25% as
of July 31, 2009) and originally matured on July 15, 2009. During the
second quarter of fiscal year 2010, we entered into an agreement to extend the
maturity date of the line of credit to June 30, 2010. This extension
agreement implemented an interest rate floor of 6.25%, which was the effective
rate as of July 31, 2009. The extension also granted additional security to the
lender through a junior lien on the Yuma, Arizona property. As of
July 31, 2009, we had drawn $135,047 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.
12
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 July
31, 2009, $125,438 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 six
months ended July 31, 2009, the Hotels spent $480,478 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 $595,322 and $750,283 during
the six-month periods ended July 31, 2009 and July 31, 2008, respectively, on
repairs and maintenance and these amounts have been charged to expense as
incurred. The Hotels also spent $307,132 and $386,277 during the three-month
periods ended July 31, 2009 and July 31, 2008, respectively, on repairs and
maintenance and these amounts have been charged to expense as
incurred.
As of
July 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 not effective as of July 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. During the period ended July 31, 2009, management implemented
processes to document evidence of our controls and procedures and we are
currently evaluating these processes for effectiveness. We expect that
these steps, when taken, will correct 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.
