PART I

 

Item 1.        BUSINESS

 

INTRODUCTIONTO OUR BUSINESS

 

The discussion of our business is as of the date of thisfiling, unless otherwise noted.

 

InnSuites Hospitality Trust (the “Trust”) was organized in1971 and operates as an unincorporated Ohio real estate investment trust.  On January 31, 2004, the Trust owned a51.54% sole general partner interest in RRF Limited Partnership, a Delawarelimited partnership (the “Partnership”). On January 31, 2004, the Partnership owned eight InnSuites® hotelslocated in Arizona, New Mexico and southern California (all eight InnSuites®hotels are hereinafter referred to as the “Hotels”).  The Trust has 12 employees.

 

The Hotels feature 1,231 hotel suites and operate as moderateand full-service hotels which apply a value studio and two-room suite operatingphilosophy formulated in 1980 by James F. Wirth, current Chairman, Presidentand Chief Executive Officer of the Trust. The Trust owns and operates hotels as studio and two-room suite hotelsthat offer services such as free breakfast buffets and complementary afternoonsocial hours plus amenities, such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, free highspeed internet access and coffee makers in each studio or two-room suite.

 

Until February 1, 2004, the Trust elected to be taxed as areal estate investment trust (“REIT”), as that term is defined and used inSections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and the Regulationsthereunder (all as amended, the “Code”). As of February 1, 2004, the Trust is no longer a REIT, but instead willbe taxed as a C corporation under federal tax laws.  See Note 21 to the Trust’s Consolidated Financial Statements– “Subsequent Events.”  The Hotels areleased to InnSuites Hotels, Inc. (“InnSuites Hotels”) pursuant to leases whichcontain provisions for rent based on the revenues of the Hotels (the“Percentage Leases”) and which are eliminated upon consolidation for the yearsended January 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.

 

As a REIT, through January 31, 2004, the Trust was prohibitedfrom operating its properties other than through an independent managementcompany or a taxable REIT subsidiary. Prior to February 1, 2001, InnSuites Hotels operated and managed all ofthe Hotels, with the assistance of InnSuites Innternational Hotels, Inc.(“InnSuites Innternational”), an entity owned by Mr. Wirth.  Pursuant to management agreements, InnSuitesHotels paid InnSuites Innternational an annual management fee of 2.5% of grossrevenues for property management services. Following the acquisition of InnSuites Hotels by the Trust effectiveFebruary 1, 2001, InnSuites Hotels operates and manages the Hotels withthe assistance of Suite Hospitality Management, Inc. (the “ManagementCompany”), an entity in which Mr. Wirth, until July 1, 2003, held a 9.8%ownership interest, pursuant to substantially the same terms as the InnSuitesInnternational management agreements. In exchange for its assumption of the prior management agreements, theManagement Company agreed to pay $911,320 to InnSuites Innternational in orderfor InnSuites Innternational to satisfy its liabilities.  See “Item 1 - Business - Acquisition ofInnSuites Hotels by the Trust” below. Effective February 1, 2003, the annual management fee charged by theManagement Company to InnSuites Hotels was reduced to 2.0% of gross roomrevenues.  This reduction will beeffective through January 31, 2005, when the annual management fee will returnto the level stated in the original management agreements.  On December 31, 2003, the Trust agreed toextend the current management agreements through January 31, 2008 in exchangefor the Management Company forgiving $183,248 of accrued but unpaid fees.  The Trust incurred management fee expensesrelated to these contracts of $440,530, $369,896 and $679,619 for the twelvemonths ended January 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  The Trust is currently in negotiations withthe Management Company to

purchasethe management agreements.  Subsequentto year-end, the Management Company purchased InnSuites Licensing Corp. (the“Licensing Corp.”).

 

InnSuites Hotels pays the Licensing Corp. an annual licensingfee of 2.0% of gross room revenues (1.0% for those hotel properties which alsocarry a third-party franchise (as discussed below), such as Best Western® orHoliday Inn®) for trademark and licensing services relating to the use of theInnSuites® name and marks.  These ratesare in effect until January 31, 2005, when the trademark and licensingfees will return to the levels stated in the original trademark and licensingservices agreements (2.5% and 1.25% of gross revenue, respectively).  On December 31, 2003, the Trust agreed toextend the trademark and licensing services agreements for the next two fiscalyears through January 31, 2007 in exchange for the Licensing Corp. forgiving$347,473 of accrued but unpaid fees. The Management Company purchased the Licensing Corp. from Mr. and Mrs.Wirth on February 2, 2004.  The Trustincurred licensing fees of $301,007, $445,942 and $384,868 for the twelvemonths ended January 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  The Trust is currently in negotiations withthe Licensing Corp. to purchase the licensing agreements and the InnSuites®name and marks.

 

InnSuites Hotels has entered into franchise arrangements withcertain third parties with respect to five of the Hotels, with four BestWestern hotels and one Holiday Inn hotel. In exchange for use of the Best Western name, trademark and reservationsystem, the participating Hotels pay fees to Best Western International basedon reservations received through the use of the Best Western system and thenumber of available suites at the participating Hotels.  The agreements with Best Western have nospecific expiration terms and are cancelable at the option of eitherparty.  Best Western requires that the participatingHotels meet certain requirements for room quality, and such Hotels are subjectto removal from its reservation system if these requirements are not met.  In exchange for use of the Holiday Inn name,trademark and reservation system, the participating Hotels pay fees based ongross room revenue.  The agreement withHoliday Inn expires on June 30, 2006.

HISTORICALOPERATIONS AND FORMATION TRANSACTIONS

 

On December 27, 1996, the Trust and HospitalityCorporation International (“HCI”), an Arizona corporation owned byMr. Wirth and his spouse, which controlled seven all-suite hotelproperties, comprising 1,036 hotel studio and two-room suites, in Tucson,Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Flagstaff and Yuma, Arizona and in Ontario,California (the “Initial Hotels”), executed a definitive Formation Agreement(the “Formation Agreement”) whereby, through a series of transactions, theInitial Hotels were combined with the Trust. At the 1997 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on January 28,1998, the shareholders of the Trust approved the transactions contemplated bythe Formation Agreement (the “Formation Transactions”).

 

The Formation Agreement provided for the organization of thePartnership, of which the Trust would be the sole general partner, initiallyholding a 13.6% interest, with the former partners in the Initial Hotelsinvesting as limited partners, receiving a collective 86.4% interest, and forrestructuring the Trust into an “umbrella partnership REIT,” or “UPREIT.”  The Partnership acquired substantialinterests in six of the Initial Hotels. The seventh hotel, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, was acquired directlyby RRF Sub Corp., a then newly-formed Nevada corporation and wholly-ownedsubsidiary of the Trust.  RRF Sub Corp.subsequently contributed the Scottsdale, Arizona hotel to the Partnership inexchange for general

partnershipinterests therein.  The Trustcontributed $2,081,000 in cash to the Partnership to obtain its initial 13.6%sole general partner interest.

 

The Partnership has two outstanding classes of limited partnershipinterests, Class A and Class B, which are identical in all respectsexcept that each Class A limited partnership unit is convertible, at theoption of the Class A holder, into one newly-issued Share of BeneficialInterest of the Trust.  Prior to February1, 2004, no particular conversion of Class A limited partnership units wasallowed, however, if a determination was made that such conversion would causethe Trust to no longer qualify as a REIT under the Code.  A total of 2,174,931 Class A limitedpartnership units were issued to the former partners in the Initial Hotels,prior to February 1, 2004, Class B limited partnership units areconvertible only upon the approval of the Board of Trustees, provided that suchconversion would not cause the Trust to fail to qualify as a REIT.  A total of 4,017,361 Class B limitedpartnership units were issued to Mr. Wirth and certain of his affiliatesin order to satisfy ownership concentration limitations placed upon REITs bythe Code.  The Partnership Agreement ofthe Partnership subjects both general and limited partner units to certainrestrictions on transfer.

 

HOTELACQUISITIONS FOLLOWING THE FORMATION TRANSACTIONS

 

Following the Formation Transactions, the Partnershipacquired four additional all-suite hotels. First, effective as of February 1, 1998, the Partnership acquiredthe InnSuites Hotel Tucson St. Mary’s located in Tucson, Arizona.  The total consideration for the acquisitionwas $10,820,000 and was based upon an appraisal conducted by an independentthird party.  Mr. Wirth and hisspouse indirectly owned the Tucson St. Mary’s hotel property.  Second, on April 29, 1998, thePartnership acquired the Lafayette Hotel Ramada Inn & ConferenceCenter located in San Diego, California. The Partnership paid $5,148,000 for this hotel property based onarms-length negotiations with owners of that property.  Third, the Partnership acquired theInnSuites Hotel located in Buena Park, California, effective June 1, 1998.  The total consideration for the acquisitionwas $7,100,000 and was based upon an appraisal conducted by an independentthird party.  Mr. Wirth and StevenS. Robson indirectly owned the Buena Park hotel property at the time of suchacquisition.  Subsequent to thisacquisition, Mr. Robson was elected as a Trustee of the Trust by theshareholders of the Trust.

The total consideration for the acquisition was $2,100,000 based on arms-lengthnegotiations with the owners of that property.

The Trust’s primarybusiness objectives are to maximize returns to its shareholders throughincreases in asset value and cash flow available for distribution and toincrease long-term total returns to shareholders.

The loss was recorded to reduce the asset’s carrying value to the salesprice.  The decrease in value was due toa slowdown in leisure travel to the southern California area caused by globalterror concerns and an overall sluggish economic environment.

 

The Tempe, Arizona and San Diego, California properties were soldsubsequent to year end.  See Note 19 tothe Trust’s Consolidated Financial Statements – “Hotel Properties Held for Saleand Sale of Hotel Properties” and Note 21 to the Trust’s Consolidated FinancialStatements – “Subsequent Events.”

 

ACQUISITIONOF INNSUITES HOTELS BY THE TRUST

 

In December 2000, InnSuites Hotels and the Trustestablished independent review groups to consider altering the structure of themanagement and operations of the Hotels pursuant to the provisions of the REITModernization Act.  Effective February 1,2001, the Trust acquired all of the issued and outstanding common and preferredequity stock of InnSuites Hotels for $11,531 in cash consideration and theassumption of approximately $1.6 million of net liabilities.  Prior to the acquisition, InnSuites Hotelswas owned 23% by Marc E. Berg, Executive Vice President, Secretary, Treasurerand Trustee of the Trust, 9.8% by InnSuites Innternational, a wholly-ownedaffiliate of Mr. Wirth and his spouse, and 67.2% by unrelated parties.

 

Following the acquisition, the management agreements relatingto the Hotels between InnSuites Hotels and InnSuites Innternational wereterminated effective January 31, 2001 and new management agreements wereentered into on substantially similar terms with the Management Company, 9.8%of which was owned by Mr. Wirth until July 1, 2003, when Mr. Wirth soldhis interest to the majority stockholder. There were no termination fees charged in connection with thecancellation of the old management agreements. In exchange for its assumption of the management agreements, theManagement Company agreed to pay $911,320 to InnSuites Innternational in orderfor InnSuites Innternational to satisfy its liabilities.  Effective February 1, 2001, the Partnership,InnSuites Hotels and the Management Company entered into an amendedIntercompany Agreement whereby, subject to certain terms and conditions, thePartnership granted InnSuites Hotels a right of first refusal to lease, and theManagement Company a right of first refusal to operate, any real propertyacquired by the Partnership.  In return,the Partnership was granted a right of first refusal to pursue opportunitiespresented to InnSuites

Hotels orthe Management Company to purchase investments in real estate, hotelproperties, real estate mortgages, derivatives or entities that invest in anyof the foregoing.  To date, the Trusthas not purchased or used derivatives. In connection with the acquisition of InnSuites Hotels by the Trust, therate structures of the Percentage Leases for the Hotels were amended to reflectcurrent economic and market conditions and the employees of InnSuites Hotelsbecame employees of the Management Company. The acquisition of InnSuites Hotels by the Trust resulted in thefollowing benefits: (1) a more direct relationship between the Hotels andthe Trust, (2) the inclusion of InnSuites Hotels’ revenues in excess ofrequired rent payments in the Trust’s consolidated financial reports,(3) the elimination of potential conflicts of interest and (4) thereduction of certain administrative costs relative to the operation of theHotels and the administration of the Percentage Leases.

 

COMPETITIONIN THE HOTEL INDUSTRY

 

The hotel industry is highly competitive and competition hasintensified over the past three years due to the sluggish economy and a generalslow down in the travel and hospitality industries primarily due to thenegative impact of the threat of terrorism and the war with Iraq.  Each of the Hotels experiences competitionprimarily from other mid-market hotels located in its immediate vicinity, butalso competes with hotel properties located in other geographic markets.  While none of the Hotels’ competitors dominateany of the Trust’s geographic markets, some of those competitors have greatermarketing and financial resources than the Trust and the Partnership.

 

A number of additional hotel property developments have beenannounced or have recently been completed by competitors in a number of theHotels’ markets, and additional hotel property developments may be built in thefuture.  Such hotel developments havehad, and could continue to have, an adverse effect on the revenue of the Hotelsin their respective markets.

 

The Trust has chosen to focus its hotel investments in thesouthwest region of the United States. The Trust has a concentration of assets in the metropolitan Phoenix andTucson, Arizona markets.  In the Phoenixand Tucson, Arizona and the Albuquerque, New Mexico markets, the supply of hotelrooms has been increasing faster than the rate of demand.  Supply rates also generally increased fasterthan demand rates in the Yuma, Arizona market. The southern California market continues to support balanced supply anddemand rates.

 

The Trust may also compete for investment opportunities withother entities that have greater financial resources.  These entities also may generally accept more risk than the Trustcan prudently manage.  Competition maygenerally reduce the number of suitable future investment opportunitiesavailable to the Trust and increase the bargaining power of owners seeking tosell their properties.

 

SEASONALITYOF THE HOTEL BUSINESS

 

The Hotels’ operations historically have been seasonal.  The five southern Arizona hotels experiencetheir highest occupancy in the first fiscal quarter and, to a lesser extent,the fourth fiscal quarter.  The secondfiscal quarter tends to be the lowest occupancy period at those five southernArizona hotels.  This seasonalitypattern can be expected to cause fluctuations in the Trust’s quarterlyrevenues.  The three hotels located inCalifornia and New Mexico historically experience their most profitable periodsduring the second and third fiscal quarters (the summer season), providing somebalance to the general seasonality of the hotel business.  To the extent that cash flows fromoperations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonalfluctuations in lease revenue, the Trust may utilize other cash on hand orborrowings to make distributions to its shareholders.  No assurance can be given that the Trust will make distributionsin the future.

Item 7.        MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OFFINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

OVERVIEW

 

The Trust is engaged in the ownership and operation of hotelproperties. At January 31, 2004, our system included eight moderate andfull-service hotels with 1,231 hotel suites. Certain of our Hotels are brandedthrough franchise agreements, which include four Best Western hotels and oneHoliday Inn hotel. All eight Hotels are trademarked as InnSuites Hotels. We arealso involved in various operations incidental to the operation of hotels, suchas the operation of restaurants and meeting/banquet room rentals.

 

Our operations consist of only one reportable segment, hotel ownership,which derives its revenue from the operation of the Hotels.

 

Our results are significantly affected by occupancy and room rates at the Hotels, our ability to manage costs, and changes in the number of available suites caused by acquisition and disposition

activities.  Results are also 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.  Additionally, our ability to manage costs could be adversely impacted by significant increases in operating expenses, resulting in lower operating margins.

 

We anticipate that improving economic conditions will create opportunities for the hospitality industry and our Company in fiscal year 2005.  Improving economic conditions are expected to result in increased business and leisure travel and support higher room rates, and therefore higher operating margins.  Challenges in fiscal year 2005 are expected to include continued competition for group business in the markets in which we operate and the Trust’s ability to increase room rates while maintaining market share. We will continue to focus on managing our costs, achieving increased daily rates in the markets where we operate and building occupancy.  We believe that our focus on customer service, adding more two-room suites and leveraging technology will enable us to remain competitive.

 

EffectiveFebruary 1, 2004, the Trust relinquished its REIT status. As of that date, anydistributions to its shareholders are not deductible for purposes of computingthe Trust’s taxable income and the Trust will be subject to income tax,including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on its taxable income atregular corporate rates, without offset for distributions of such income to itsshareholders.  See Note 21 to the Trust’sConsolidated Financial Statements – “Subsequent Events.”

 

GENERAL

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction withthe Trust’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

 

The accounting policies that we believe are most critical andinvolve the most subjective judgments include our estimates and assumptions offuture revenue and expenditures used to project property cash flows.  Future cash flows are used in the valuationcalculation of our hotel properties to determine the recoverability (orimpairment) of the carrying amounts in the event management is required to testthe asset for recoverability of its carrying value under Statement of FinancialAccounting Standards No. 144.  Ifthe carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated future cash flows overits estimated remaining life, the Trust recognizes an impairment expense toreduce the asset’s carrying value to its fair value.  Fair value is determined by either the most current third-partyproperty appraisal, if available, or the present value of future cash flowsover the remaining life of the asset. Our evaluation of future cash flows is based on our historicalexperience and other factors, including certain economic conditions andcommitted future bookings.  See “-Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” below.

 

At January 31, 2004, the Trust owned a 51.54% interestin the Hotels through its sole general partner’s interest in thePartnership.  The Trust purchased57,509, 257,101 and 15,322 Partnership units during the years endedJanuary 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

The Partnership leases its hotel properties to InnSuitesHotels.  The corresponding rent expensefor InnSuites Hotels and rent revenue for the Partnership, as well as theresulting rent receivable and payable, eliminate in consolidation.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal year2004, the Partnership agreed to waive InnSuites Hotels accrued but unpaid rentin exchange for InnSuites Hotels extending its lease agreements one year.  The total amount waived was $3,134,130.  This transaction had a net effect ofincreasing the Trust’s stockholders equity by $1,518,834.

 

The expenses of the Trust consist primarily of propertytaxes, insurance, corporate overhead, interest on mortgage debt, professionalfees, depreciation of the Hotels, management and trademark fees to affiliatesand hotel operating expenses.  Under theterms of its Partnership Agreement, the Partnership

is requiredto reimburse the Trust for all such expenses. Accordingly, management believes that a review of the historicalperformance of the operations of the Hotels, particularly with respect tooccupancy, average daily rate (“ADR”), calculated as total room revenue dividedby number of rooms sold, and revenue per available room (“REVPAR”), calculatedas total room revenue divided by number of rooms available, is appropriate forunderstanding revenue from the Percentage Leases.  ADR decreased by $0.32 to $66.27 in fiscal year 2004 from $66.59in fiscal year 2003.  Occupancyincreased 2.33% to 62.79% in fiscal year 2004 from 60.46% in fiscal year 2003primarily as a result of the reduction in available rooms due to the conversionof studio suites into two-room executive suites at certain of the properties,as well as the sale of certain lower-occupancy properties.  This reduction in the number of suitesavailable, combined with the hotel sales, also resulted in an increase inREVPAR of $1.35 to $41.61 in fiscal year 2004 from $40.26 in fiscal year 2003.

 

The following table shows certain historical financial andother information for the periods indicated:

No assurance can be given that the trends reflected in thisdata will continue or that occupancy, ADR and REVPAR will not decrease as aresult of changes in national or local economic or hospitality industryconditions.

The Trust’s overall results in both 2004 and 2003 wereadversely affected by the sluggish economic environment and reduced travel dueto the war in Iraq and other terror concerns. Decreased demand in both the leisure travel, particularly in southernCalifornia, and business travel markets resulted in declining revenues duringfiscal year 2004.

 

For the twelve months ended January 31, 2004, the Trusthad total revenue of $17.8 million compared to $18.9 million for thetwelve months ended January 31, 2003, a decrease of approximately $1.1million.  This decrease in total revenueis primarily due to fewer occupied rooms and the absence of revenue from theScottsdale, Arizona property due to its sale in the first quarter of fiscalyear 2004.  Total expenses of$20.4 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2004 reflect adecrease of approximately $2.4 million compared to total expenses of$22.7 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2003.  The decrease is primarily due to theimpairment charge of $590,000 related to the Scottsdale property in fiscal year2003, reduced hotel expenses as a result of reduced occupied rooms and theabsence of expenses from the Scottsdale property due to its sale in the firstquarter of fiscal year 2004.

 

Loss on impairment of hotel property was approximately$590,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2003.  This loss resulted from the write-down foran impairment of the Scottsdale, Arizona hotel property.  The operating performance of the Scottsdaleproperty during that period indicated that it significantly decreased in value,which required management to test the property for recoverability of book valueunder SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assetsand for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of.” Based on an appraisal of the property’s fair value, the hotel property’scarrying value was determined not to be recoverable.  The hotel property, including land, buildings and improvementsand furniture, fixtures and equipment, was written down by $590,000 to its fairvalue and new basis of $3.1 million. The amount of impairment allocated to Shares of Beneficial Interest was

$294,000and the amount allocated to minority interest was $296,000.  The hotel property’s decrease in value wasdue to changes in the economic condition, and decreased prospects for futuredevelopment, in its immediate area.  Nosuch loss was recorded for the twelve months ended January 31, 2004.  During fiscal year 2004, the impairedproperty was sold to Scottsdale Eldorado Resort, LLC, an affiliate of Mr.Wirth, for $3.1 million.

 

General and administrative expenses include overhead chargesfor management, accounting, shareholder and legal services for the Trust.

This decrease was primarily due to $91,000 of expense related to therefinancing of the Tucson St. Mary’s and San Diego properties in fiscal year2003, a decrease of $242,000 in trademark and management fees in fiscal year2004 due to amendments to the related contracts, and the absence of suchexpenses from the Scottsdale property due to its sale during the first quarterof fiscal year 2004, which accounted for $174,000 of the decrease.

 

Total operating expenses for the twelve months endedJanuary 31, 2004 were $17.7 million, a decrease of approximately $2.0million, or 10.1%, from $19.7 million in the twelve months endedJanuary 31, 2003.  The decrease wasprimarily due to the impairment charge of $590,000 related to the Scottsdaleproperty in fiscal year 2003, reduced hotel expenses as a result of reducedrevenue and the absence of expenses from the Scottsdale property due to itssale in the first quarter of fiscal year 2004.

The Trust’s overall results in both 2003 and 2002 wereadversely affected by the sluggish economic environment and reduced travel dueto terror concerns.  Decreased airlinetravel after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 decreased overalldemand and reduced occupancy and ADR for both fiscal year 2003 and 2002.

 

For the twelve months ended January 31, 2003, the Trusthad total revenue of $18.9 million compared to $19.0 million for thetwelve months ended January 31, 2002, a decrease of approximately$110,000.  Total expenses of$22.7 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2003 reflect adecrease of approximately $164,000 compared to total expenses of$22.9 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2002.

 

Expenses incurred in acquiring InnSuites Hotels for the yearended January 31, 2002 relate to the one-time assumption of netliabilities of InnSuites Hotels that were associated with the acquisition.  Comparable costs were not incurred in fiscalyear 2003.

 

Loss on impairment of hotel property was approximately$590,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2003.  This loss resulted from the write-down foran impairment of the Scottsdale, Arizona hotel property.  The operating performance of the Scottsdaleproperty during that period indicated that the hotel property significantly decreasedin value, which required management to test the property for recoverability ofbook value under SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment ofLong-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of.”  Using management’s best estimate ofundiscounted future cash flows from the hotel, the hotel property’s carryingvalue was determined not to be recoverable. The hotel property, including land, buildings and improvements andfurniture, fixtures and equipment, was written down by $590,000 to the hotel’smarket value and new basis of $3.1 million.  The amount of impairment allocated to Shares of BeneficialInterest was $294,000 and the amount allocated to minority interest was$296,000.  The property’s decrease invalue was due to changes in the economic condition and decreased prospects forfuture development, in its immediate area. No such loss was recorded for the twelve months ended January 31,2002.

General and administrative expenses include overhead chargesfor management, accounting, shareholder and legal services for the Trust.  In comparing general and administrativeexpenses for the twelve months ended January 31, 2003 and 2002, theseexpenses decreased $158,000, or 3.5%, to $4.4 million in fiscal year 2003from $4.5 million in fiscal year 2002. This decrease was primarily due to

netexpenses of $322,000 incurred in relation to the refinancing of certain notespayable in fiscal year 2002.

 

Total operating expenses for the twelve months endedJanuary 31, 2003 were $19.8 million, a decrease of approximately$575,000, or 2.8%, from $20.0 million in the twelve months endedJanuary 31, 2002.  The decrease isprimarily due to the $1.6 million one-time charge for the acquisition ofInnSuites Hotels incurred in fiscal year 2002, which was mostly offset by the$590,000 loss on impairment recorded in fiscal year 2003 and an increase of$765,000 in depreciation expense in fiscal year 2003.

 

Total interest expense was $3.0 million in both fiscalyear 2003 and fiscal year 2002. Interest on mortgage notes payable of $2.2 million in fiscal year2003 was an increase of $148,000, or 7.3%, over the prior year.  This increase was primarily due to a netincrease of approximately $1.0 million in mortgage notes payable in fiscal year2003 due to the refinancing of certain hotels’ mortgage notes.  Interest on notes payable to banks decreasedby 57.3%, or $221,000, to $164,000 from $384,000 due to lower outstandingbalances on the Trust’s line of credit and term loans.  Interest on notes payable to related partiesincreased 29.9%, or $159,000, to $692,000 from $533,000 due to an increase of$1.2 million in net borrowings from Mr. Wirth and his affiliates.

 

Real estate and personal property taxes, insurance and groundrent increased $78,000, or 5.9%, to $1.4 million from $1.3 million incomparing the twelve months ended January 31, 2003 and 2002,respectively.  Real estate and personalproperty taxes and property insurance increased due to increased insurancepremiums and increased property tax assessments.

 

Hotel property depreciation for the twelve months endedJanuary 31, 2003 compared to 2002 increased approximately $83,000, or4.1%, to $2.1 million from $2.0 million, respectively.  The increase resulted primarily from anincreased asset base due to refurbishment projects.

 

The Trust had a loss before minority interest of$4.9 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2003, comparedto a loss before minority interest of $4.7 million in the prior year.  After deducting the loss allocated to theminority interest of $1.4 million, the Trust had a net loss attributableto Shares of Beneficial Interest of approximately $3.4 million.  This represented a decrease in net loss ofapproximately $93,000 attributable to Shares of Beneficial Interest comparingthe twelve months ended January 31, 2003 and 2002.  The Trust had a loss from continuingoperations of $2.8 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2003,compared to a loss of $3.2 million in the prior year.  Basic and diluted net loss per share was $1.67 for the twelvemonths ended January 31, 2003 compared to $1.66 for 2002.

 

LIQUIDITYAND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Overview

 

Net cash provided by or used in operating activitiestotaled $88,000, $1.1 million, and $(262,000) for the years ended January 31,2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  Thedecrease in 2004 as compared to 2003 was primarily due to the Trust’s effortsto reduce its liabilities, especially trade payables.  The increase in 2003 as compared to 2002 was primarily due to theTrust’s increased payable balances resulting from its efforts to manage cashflows.

 

Net cash provided by or used in investing activitiestotaled $10.2 million, $(1.6) million, and $(2.4) million for the years endedJanuary 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in 2004 as compared to 2003 was primarily due to the saleof certain Hotels during fiscal year 2004. The increase in 2003 as compared to 2002 was primarily due to reducedcapital refurbishment projects at the Hotels.

Net cash provided by or used in financing activitiestotaled $(10.4) million, $513,000, and $2.5 million for the years ended January31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in 2004 as compared to 2003 was primarily due to the saleof certain Hotels in fiscal year 2004, the proceeds of which the Trust used toreduce its debt balances to related parties and satisfy its mortgage notes onthese properties.  The decrease in 2003as compared to 2002 was primarily due to reduced borrowings in fiscal year 2003from Mr. Wirth and his affiliates.

 

As of January 31, 2004, the Trust had no cash on hand.  However, subsequent to year end, the sale ofthe San Diego, California property resulted in the Trust receiving $4.5 millionin cash proceeds after satisfying its mortgage note.  The Trust’s projection of future cash receipts includes certaincost-cutting measures and certain increases in hotel revenues.  In addition, during fiscal year 2004, theTrust sold its Scottsdale and Flagstaff, Arizona and Buena Park, Californiaproperties, which had a history of net operating losses and negative cashflows.  See Note 19 to the Trust’sConsolidated Financial Statements – “Hotel Properties Held for Sale and Sale ofHotel Properties.”

 

The Trust received $12.2 million in proceeds for thesales of hotel properties in fiscal year 2004. The Trust used $3.0 million of these proceeds to satisfy a mortgage notepayable, $4.4 million to satisfy related party notes payable, $3.0 million tosatisfy bank notes payable and the remaining proceeds to fund operations.

 

Through its ownership interest in the Partnership and,effective February 1, 2001, InnSuites Hotels, the Trust has itsproportionate share of the benefits and obligations of the Partnership’sownership interests and InnSuites Hotels’ operational interests in theHotels.  The Trust’s principal source ofcash to meet its cash requirements, including distributions to itsshareholders, is its share of the Partnership’s cash flow.  The Partnership’s principal source ofrevenue is rent payments under the Percentage Leases.  InnSuites Hotels’ obligations under the Percentage Leases areunsecured and its ability to make rent payments to the Partnership under thePercentage Leases, and the Trust’s liquidity, including its ability to makedistributions to its shareholders, will depend upon the ability of InnSuitesHotels to generate sufficient cash flow from hotel operations.

 

Historically, as a REIT, the Trust was required todistribute to its shareholders at least 90% of its taxable income, excludingnet capital gains.  The termination ofthe Trust’s status as a REIT, effective February 1, 2004, eliminated thisrequirement.  However, by relinquishingits status as a REIT, the Trust will become subject to the payment of incometaxes.  See Note 21 to the Trust’sConsolidated Financial Statements – “Subsequent Events.”

 

As of January 31, 2004, the Trust has no commitments forcapital expenditures beyond a 4% reserve for refurbishment and replacementsthat is set aside annually, as described below.

 

The Partnership continues to contribute to a CapitalExpenditures Fund (the “Fund”), from the rent paid under the Percentage Leases,an amount equal to 4% of InnSuites Hotels’ revenues from operation of theHotels.  The Fund applicable to the sixhotel properties for which a mortgage lender escrow exists is restricted by themortgage lenders.  As ofJanuary 31, 2004, $136,790 was held in the Fund and is reported on theTrust’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Restricted Cash.”  The Fund is intended to be used for capitalimprovements to the Hotels and refurbishment and replacement of furniture,fixtures and equipment, in addition to other uses of amounts in the Fundconsidered appropriate from time to time. During the twelve months ended January 31, 2004 and 2003, theHotels spent approximately $1.8 million and $1.7 million,respectively, for capital expenditures. The Trust considers the majority of these improvements to be revenueproducing.  Therefore, these amountshave been capitalized and are being depreciated over their estimated usefullives.  The Trust plans to spendapproximately $800,000 for capital expenditures in fiscal year 2004.  InnSuites Hotels also spent

approximately$1.8 million and $1.9 million during fiscal years 2004 and 2003,respectively, on repairs and maintenance and these amounts have been charged toexpense as incurred.

 

On February 2, 2004, the Trust purchased 433,036 Class Blimited partnership units in the Partnership from Mr. Wirth and his affiliatesfor the closing price of the Trust’s Shares of Beneficial Interest on that day,which was $2.25.  The Trust made adown-payment totaling $2,500 and issued five promissory notes totaling$971,831, which will be paid in monthly installments of principal and interestover 84 months.  The Trust repurchasedthese units to increase its sole general partner interest in the Partnership,and thereby receive a larger allocation of the Partnership’s equity.  This increased allocation of equity willenhance the Trust’s ability to regain compliance with American Stock Exchangelisting requirements.

 

The Trust has minimum debt payments of $2.8 million and$4.5 million due during fiscal years 2005 and 2006, respectively.  The sale of the Tempe, Arizona propertysubsequent to year end satisfied in full the mortgage note secured by thatproperty, which accounted for $1.6 million of the principal due in fiscal year2006, as well as $1.1 million and $1.5 million of the principal due toMr. Wirth and his affiliates in fiscal years 2005 and 2006, respectively.  See Note 19 to the Trust’s ConsolidatedFinancial Statements – “Hotel Properties Held for Sale and Sale of HotelProperties” and Note 21 to the Trust’s Consolidated Financial Statements –“Subsequent Events.”  The Trust believesit can satisfy its remaining obligations during fiscal years 2005 and 2006using revenue generated by the Hotels’ operations.  If revenue generated from operations is insufficient to meet theTrust’s obligations as they come due, payments and terms for obligations owedto Mr. Wirth and his affiliates in the amounts of $1.2 million and$1.7 million due in 2005 and 2006, respectively, may be renegotiated toextend the terms of these loans. Mr. Wirth and/or his affiliates have also demonstrated their willingnessto modify the terms of existing obligations and to create new obligations basedon the cash needs of the Trust.  SeeNote 7 to the Trust’s Consolidated Financial Statements - “Notes andAdvances Payable to Related Parties.”

 

Management believes that cash on hand, future cash receiptsfrom operations, proceeds from hotel sales and borrowings from affiliates infiscal year 2005 will be sufficient to meet the Trust’s obligations as theybecome due for the next twelve months.

 

The Trust may seek to negotiate additional credit facilitiesor issue debt instruments.  Any debtincurred or issued by the Trust may be secured or unsecured, long-term,medium-term or short-term, bear interest at a fixed or variable rate and besubject to such other terms as the Trust considers prudent.

 

The Trust will acquire or develop additional hotels only assuitable opportunities arise, and the Trust will not undertake acquisition orredevelopment of properties unless adequate sources of financing areavailable.  Funds for future acquisitionsor development of hotels are expected to be derived, in whole or in part, fromborrowings or from the proceeds of additional issuances of Shares of BeneficialInterest or other securities.  However,there can be no assurance that the Trust will successfully acquire or developadditional hotels or that proceeds from borrowings or issuances of Shares ofBeneficial Interest will be available or in amounts and on terms sufficient toallow such transactions.

 

CONTINUED LISTING WITH THE AMERICAN STOCK EXCHANGE

 

On June 13, 2003, the Trust received a notice from the AmericanStock Exchange (“Amex”) indicating that the Trust failed to meet certain ofAmex’s continued listing standards as set forth under Section 1003(a) ofthe Amex Company Guide.  The Trustbecame non-compliant with Amex’s listing standards due to losses incurred inthe most recent fiscal years.  Theselosses were exacerbated by the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001,the war in Iraq during the spring of 2003, as well as the general slowdown inthe economy and travel.

 

16

----

 

In response to this notice, the Trust was given the opportunity tosubmit a plan to Amex to regain compliance with the continued listingstandards.  On August 26, 2003,Amex notified the Trust that it accepted the Trust’s plan and granted the Trustan extension of time to November 2004 to regain compliance with the continuedlisting standards.  The Trust will besubject toperiodic review by Amex staff during this extension period.  Failure to make progress consistent with theplan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end ofthe extension period could result in the Trust being delisted from Amex.  If the Trust’s Shares of Beneficial Interestwere delisted from Amex, liquidity in the trading market for the Shares ofBeneficial Interest could be significantly decreased, which could reduce thetrading price of and increase the transaction costs of trading Shares ofBeneficial Interest.

 

As part of the Trust’s plan,the Trust has taken certain steps to reduce expenses and increase sales, whichhas positioned the Trust to improve its operating results.  In addition, the Trust recently sold threenon-strategic assets, its Scottsdale and Flagstaff, Arizona and Buena Park,California properties, allowing it to reduce operating losses and fully satisfyits bank term loan and bank line of credit. Subsequent to year end, the Trust sold its San Diego, California andTempe, Arizona properties.  Through thesale of these assets, equity-raising activities and performing certain servicesin-house, the Trust expects to improve its financial position and results ofoperations.  The Trust expects to regaincompliance with Amex’s listing requirements by November 2004.

 

SHAREREPURCHASE PROGRAM

 

On January 2, 2001, the Board of Trustees of the Trustapproved a share repurchase program under Rule 10b-18 of the SecuritiesExchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the purchase of up to 250,000 limitedpartnership units in the Partnership and/or Shares of Beneficial Interest inopen market or privately negotiated transactions.  Additionally, on September 10, 2002, the Board of Trusteesapproved the purchase of up to 350,000 additional limited partnership units inthe Partnership and/or Shares of Beneficial Interest in open market orprivately negotiated transactions. Acquired Shares of Beneficial Interest are held in treasury and areavailable for future acquisitions and financings and/or for awards grantedunder the Trust’s 1997 Stock Incentive and Option Plan.  During fiscal year 2004, the Trust acquired22,500 Shares of Beneficial Interest in open market transactions at an averageprice of $1.29 per share, and 57,509 limited partnership units in privatelynegotiated transactions at an average price of $1.53 per unit.  The Trust intends to continue repurchasingShares of Beneficial Interest in compliance with applicable legal and Amexrequirements.  The Trust is authorizedto repurchase an additional 269,891 limited partnership units and/or Shares ofBeneficial Interest pursuant to the share repurchase program.

 

OFF-BALANCESHEET FINANCINGS AND LIABILITIES

 

Other than lease commitments, legal contingencies incurred inthe normal course of business and employment contracts for key employees, theTrust does not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements orliabilities.  The Trust does not haveany majority-owned subsidiaries that are not included in the consolidatedfinancial statements.  See “Item 7 –Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results ofOperations – Accounting Matters” below for a discussion of new accountinginterpretations with respect to variable interest entities and the impact ofsuch interpretations on the Trust.

InnSuites Hotels has agreements with theManagement Company for hotel management services and the Licensing Corp. forlicensing and trademark services.  TheManagement Company agreement expires on January 31, 2008 and the LicensingCorp. agreement expires on January 31, 2007. The fees payable under these agreements are based on Hotel revenue anddo not include any minimum payment provision.

 

InnSuites Hotels has entered into franchisearrangements with certain third parties for five of the hotel properties, withfour Best Western hotels and one Holiday Inn hotel.  These agreements provide for fees to be paid by InnSuites Hotelsbased on revenue and reservations received, and contain no minimum paymentprovisions.

 

CRITICALACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

TheTrust believes that the policies it follows for the valuation of its hotelproperties, which constitute the majority of Trust assets, are its mostcritical policies.  The Trust appliesSFAS No. 144 to determine when it is necessary to test an asset forrecoverability.  On an events andcircumstances basis, the Trust reviews the carrying value of its hotelproperties both held for use and held for sale.  The Trust will record an impairment loss and reduce the carryingvalue of a property when anticipated undiscounted future cash flows and/or acurrent appraisal of the property do not support its carrying value.  In cases where the Trust does not expect torecover the carrying cost of hotel properties held for use, it will reduce thecarrying value to the fair value of the hotel, as determined by a currentappraisal.  In cases where the Trustdoes 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.  For the twelve months ended January 31, 2004and 2003, the Trust recorded impairment losses of $458,000 and $590,000,respectively.  The Trust did notrecognize impairment expense in fiscal year 2002.  As of January 31, 2004, the Trust management does not believethat the carrying values of any of its hotel properties are impaired.

 

ACCOUNTINGMATTERS

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting StandardsBoard issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of VariableInterest Entities,” an Interpretation of Accounting Research BulletinNo. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” which was subsequentlyamended by FIN 46R.  This Interpretationrequires an existing unconsolidated variable interest entity to be consolidatedby its primary beneficiary if the entity does not effectively disperse riskamong all parties involved or if other parties do not have significant capitalto finance activities without subordinated financial support from the primarybeneficiary.  The primary beneficiary isthe party that absorbs a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives amajority of its expected residual returns, or both, as a result of holdingvariable interests, which are the ownership, contractual or other pecuniaryinterests in an entity.  ThisInterpretation is effective immediately for variable interest entities createdafter December 31, 2003 and no later than the beginning of the firstinterim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004 forinterests in variable interest

entitiesthat were acquired prior to February 1, 2003.  While management has not yet completed its evaluation of therequirements of FIN 46R, management believes it is probable the Trust willconsolidate, or be required to provide certain additional disclosures withrespect to, the Management Company and the Licensing Corp. when FIN 46R becomeseffective.  Subsequent to year end, theTrust entered into negotiations to purchase its management and trademarkagreements from the Management Company and the Licensing Corp.

 

INFLATION

 

The Trust’s revenue is based on the underlying Hotelrevenue.  Therefore, the Trust reliesentirely on the performance of the Hotels and InnSuites Hotels’ ability toincrease revenue to keep pace with inflation. Operators of hotels in general, and InnSuites Hotels in particular, canchange room rates quickly, but competitive pressures may limit InnSuitesHotels’ ability to raise rates faster than inflation.

Item 7A.  QUANTITATIVEAND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The Trust is exposed to interest rate risk primarily as aresult of its mortgage notes payable, notes payable to banks, other notespayable and notes and advances payable to related parties.  The proceeds from these loans were used tomaintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures and expand the Trust’s realestate investment portfolio and operations. The Trust’s interest rate risk management objective is to limit theimpact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flow and to lower its overallborrowing costs.  To achieve its objectives,the Trust borrows using fixed rate debt, when possible.  The Trust could enter into derivativefinancial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps and treasury locks inorder to mitigate its interest rate risk on a related financial instrument.  To date, the Trust has not entered into anysuch derivative transactions.

 

The Trust’s interest rate risk is monitored using a varietyof techniques.  The table below presentsthe principal amounts, weighted average interest rates, fair value and otherterms required, by year of expected maturity, in order to evaluate the expectedcash flow and sensitivity to interest rate changes.

(1)   Thefair value of fixed rate debt and variable rate debt were determined based oncurrent rates offered for fixed rate debt and variable rate LIBOR debt withsimilar risks and maturities.

 

The table incorporates only those exposures that exist as ofJanuary 31, 2004 and does not consider those exposures or positions whichwould arise after that date.  Moreover,because firm commitments are not represented in the table above, theinformation presented therein has limited predictive value.  As a result, the Trust’s interest ratefluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during any particularperiod and future interest rates.

INNSUITES HOSPITALITY TRUST ANDSUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALSTATEMENTSAS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2004, 2003 AND 2002

 

## 1.  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

##  

InnSuites Hospitality Trust (the “Trust”) owns, as of January31, 2004, through a partnership interest, eight hotels with an aggregate of1,231 suites in Arizona, southern California and New Mexico (the“Hotels”).  The Hotels operate asInnSuites Hotels.

 

Prior to February 1, 2004, the Trust operated as a self-managedand self-administered “umbrella partnership real estate investment trust(“REIT”),” with operations through an operating partnership, RRF LimitedPartnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”).  Effective February 1, 2004, the Trustterminated its election to be taxed as a REIT. See Note 21 — “Subsequent Events.”   The Trust is the sole general partner of the Partnership andowned 51.54% and 50.80% of the Partnership as of January 31, 2004 and2003, respectively. The Trust’s weighted average ownership for the years endedJanuary 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was 51.12%, 49.80% and 48.45%,respectively.  The Partnership owns thehotel properties and incurs the related expenses.  The Hotels are leased to InnSuites Hotels, Inc. (“InnSuitesHotels”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trust.  InnSuites Hotels holds the franchise agreement for each Hotel andoperates the Hotels.  InnSuites Hotelscontracted with Suite Hospitality Management, Inc. (the “Management Company”)for certain property management services and employment services as ofFebruary 1, 2001.  The ManagementCompany was previously owned 9.8% by the James F. Wirth, Chairman, Presidentand Chief Executive Officer of the Trust, until July 2, 2003.

 

InnSuites Hotels also contracts with InnSuites LicensingCorp. (the “Licensing Corp.”), an entity owned by the Management Company sinceFebruary 2, 2004 and previously owned by Mr. Wirth, for certain trademark andlicensing services.

 

As a REIT, through January 31, 2004, the Trust was prohibitedfrom operating its properties other than through an independent managementcompany or a taxable REIT subsidiary. Prior to February 1, 2001, InnSuites Hotels operated and managedall of the Hotels, with the assistance of InnSuites Innternational Hotels, Inc.(“InnSuites Innternational”), an entity owned by Mr. Wirth.  Pursuant to management contracts, InnSuitesHotels paid InnSuites Innternational an annual management fee of 2.5% of grossrevenues for property management services. Following the acquisition of InnSuites Hotels by the Trust effectiveFebruary 1, 2001, InnSuites Hotels operates and manages the Hotels withthe assistance of the Management Company, an entity in which Mr. Wirthpreviously had a 9.8% ownership interest, pursuant to substantially the sameterms as the InnSuites Innternational management agreements.  There were no termination fees charged inconnection with the cancellation of the old management agreements.  In exchange for its assumption of themanagement agreements, the Management Company agreed to pay $911,320 toInnSuites Innternational in order for InnSuites Innternational to satisfy itsliabilities.  Effective February 1,2003, the annual management fee charged by the Management Company to InnSuitesHotels was reduced to 2.0% of gross room revenues.  This reduction will be effective through January 31, 2005, whenthe annual management fee will return to the level stated in the originalagreement.  On December 31, 2003, theTrust agreed to extend the current management agreements through January 31,2008 in exchange for the Management Company forgiving $183,248 of accrued butunpaid fees.

 

InnSuites Hotels pays the Licensing Corp. an annual licensingfee of 2.5% of gross revenues (1.25% for those hotel properties which alsocarry a third-party franchise, such as Best Western® or Holiday Inn®) fortrademark and licensing services relating to the use of the InnSuites® name andmarks.  The trademark and licensingservices agreements were modified on November 1, 2002 to reduce the annuallicensing fee to 2.0% of gross room revenues (1.0% for those properties whichalso carry a third-party franchise). The modification is in effect until January 31, 2005, when thetrademark and licensing fees will return to the levels stated in the originalagreement.  On December 31, 2003,the Trust

agreed to extend the trademark and licensing servicesagreements through January 31, 2007 in exchange for the Licensing Corp.forgiving $347,473 of accrued but unpaid fees.

 

PARTNERSHIPAGREEMENT

 

The Partnership Agreement of the Partnership provides for theissuance of two classes of limited partnership units, Class A andClass B.  Class A and Class Blimited partnership units are identical in all respects, except that eachClass A limited partnership unit shall be convertible into onenewly-issued Share of Beneficial Interest of the Trust, at any time at theoption of the particular limited partner, if the Trust determines that such conversionwould not cause the Trust to fail to qualify as a REIT.  The Class B limited partnership unitsmay only become convertible with the approval of the Board of Trustees, in itssole discretion.  As of January 31,2004, 1,401,475 Class A limited partnership units were issued andoutstanding representing 10.6% of the total partnership units.  Additionally, as of January 31, 2004,5,000,974 Class B limited partnership units were outstanding toMr. Wirth and his affiliates, in lieu of the issuance of Class A limitedpartnership units representing 37.9% of the total partnership units.  If all of the Class A and B limitedpartnership units were converted, the limited partners in the Partnership wouldreceive 6,402,449 Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust.  As of January 31, 2004, the Trust owns6,809,068 general partner units in the Partnership, representing 51.5% of thetotal partnership units.

 

BASISOF PRESENTATION

 

As sole general partner of the Partnership, the Trustexercises unilateral control over the Partnership, and the Trust owns all ofthe issued and outstanding classes of shares of InnSuites Hotels. Therefore,the financial statements of the Partnership and InnSuites Hotels areconsolidated with the Trust, and all significant intercompany transactions andbalances have been eliminated.

 

## 2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

##  

USEOF ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity withgenerally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, thedisclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidatedfinancial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses duringthe reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The Trust’s operations are affected by numerous factors,including the economy, competition in the hotel industry and the effect of theeconomy on the travel and hospitality industries.  The Trust cannot predict if any of the above items will have asignificant impact in the future, nor can it predict what impact, if any, theoccurrence of these or other events might have on the Trust’s operations andcash flows.  Significant estimates andassumptions made by management are used for, but not limited to, the estimateduseful lives of long-lived assets and estimates of future cash flows usedto test a long-lived asset for recoverability, the fair values of the long-livedassets and the realization of net operating losses.

 

HOTELPROPERTIES

 

Hotel properties are stated at cost and are depreciated usingthe straight-line method over estimated lives ranging from 5 to 40 yearsfor buildings and improvements and 3 to 15 years for furniture and equipment.

 

The Trust adopted SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for theImpairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” in accounting for its hotelproperties effective the beginning of fiscal year 2003 and previously

 

30

----

 

applied SFAS No. 121 in accounting for its hotelproperties in fiscal year 2002. Properties held for sale at the beginning of fiscal year 2003 continuedto be accounted for under SFAS No. 121. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 had no significant effect on thefinancial statements.

 

Management applies SFAS No. 144 to determine when it isrequired to test an asset for recoverability of its carrying value.  If the carrying amount of an asset exceedsthe estimated undiscounted future cash flows over its estimated remaining life,the Trust recognizes an impairment expense to reduce the asset’s carrying valueto its fair value.  The estimated futurecash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about expectedfuture operating performance, and may differ from actual cash flows.  Long-lived assets evaluated forimpairment are analyzed on a property-specific basis independent of the cashflows of other groups of assets.  If thesum of the projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less thanthe carrying value of the assets, the assets will be written down to theestimated fair value in the period in which the determination is made.  The Trust determines the estimated usefullives of its assets based on the expected future economic benefit of the assetand its ability to hold such assets. Fair value is determined by the most current third-party propertyappraisal, if available.  Evaluation offuture cash flows is based on historical experience and other factors,including certain economic conditions and committed future bookings.  Management has determined that no additionalimpairment of long-lived assets currently exists beyond the amountsrecognized.

 

During fiscal year 2004, events and circumstances indicatedthat certain of the Trust’s properties held in use should be evaluated forimpairment.  However, the Trust obtainedupdated third-party appraisals of the properties which indicated that thevalues of the properties exceeded their carrying values.  However, it is possible that future changesin the economic climate or real estate markets may adversely impact the fairvalues of the hotel properties, resulting in the need for the Trust torecognize an impairment expense to adjust the carrying value of thoseproperties to their fair values.

 

Gains and losses on sales of properties are recognized at thetime of sale or deferred to the extent required by GAAP.

 

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 thedecision to actively seek a buyer of the property and/or (2) a bindingagreement to purchase the property has been signed under which the buyer hascommitted a significant amount of refundable cash and no significant financingcontingencies exist which could cause the transaction not to be completed in atimely manner.  If these criteria aremet, the Trust will record an impairment loss if the fair value less the coststo sell is lower than the carrying amount of the hotel and will cease recordingdepreciation.

 

CASHAND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

The Trust considers all highly liquid short-terminvestments with original maturities of three months or less to be cashequivalents.

 

REVENUERECOGNITION

 

Room, food and beverage, telecommunications and other revenueare recognized as earned as services are provided and items are sold.

 

RECEIVABLES

 

Accounts receivable are carried at original amounts less anestimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of outstanding amountson a quarterly basis.  Managementrecords an allowance for doubtful accounts for 50% of the balances over 90 daysand 100% of the balances over

 

31

----

 

120 days.  Accounts receivables are written off whendeemed uncollectible.  Recoveries, ifany, of receivables previously written off are recorded when received.  The Trust does not charge interest onaccounts receivable balances.

 

STOCK-BASEDCOMPENSATION

 

The Trust applies the provisions of Accounting PrinciplesBoard (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, andprovides pro forma net income (loss) disclosures for employee stock optiongrants as if the fair-value-based method defined in Statement of FinancialAccounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,had been applied.  In accordance withAPB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense is recorded over the vesting periodonly if the current estimated market price on the underlying stock on the datean option is granted exceeds the exercise price.

 

No compensation cost has been recognized for options grantedto employees for the years ended January 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.  The following pro forma information presentspro forma net loss information as if compensation expense had been recognizedfor stock options as determined under the fair-value-based method prescribed bySFAS No. 123 using the Black-Scholes options pricing model:

No stock options were issued during the fiscal yearsended January 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.

 

INCOMETAXES

 

Prior to February 1, 2004, the Trust elected to be taxed as aREIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the“Code”).  To qualify as a REIT, theTrust was required to meet a number of organizational and operationalrequirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90%of its adjusted taxable income to its shareholders.  As a REIT, the Trust was not subject to federal corporate incometax on that portion of its net income that was distributed to shareholders.

 

Prior to February 1, 2004, the Trust accounted for deferredtaxes utilizing a liability method whereby deferred tax assets were recognizedfor deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities wererecognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences were the differences between the reported amountsof assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets were reduced by a valuation allowance when it wasdetermined to be more likely than not that some portion or

 

32

----

 

all of thedeferred tax assets would not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities were adjusted for the effects ofchanges in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

EffectiveFebruary 1, 2004, the Trust relinquished its REIT status. As of that date, anydistributions to its shareholders are not deductible for purposes of computingthe Trust’s taxable income and the Trust will be subject to income tax,including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on its taxable income atregular corporate rates, without offset for distributions of such income to itsshareholders.  See Note 21 – “SubsequentEvents.”

 

Prior to February 1, 2004, the Trustaccounted for deferred taxes utilizing a liability method whereby deferred taxassets were recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred taxliabilities were recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences were the differencesbetween the reported amounts of assets and liabilities their tax bases.  Deferred tax assets were reduced by avaluation allowance when it was determined to be more likely than not that someportion or all of the deferred tax assets would not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities wereadjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date ofenactment.

 

DIVIDENDSAND DISTRIBUTIONS

 

The Trust expects to pay dividends.  The Trust’s ability to pay dividends is largely dependent uponits receipt of distributions from the Partnership.

 

MINORITYINTEREST

 

The Trust accounts for minority interest in accordance withEITF Issue No. 94-2 “Treatment of Minority Interests in Certain RealEstate Investments” and EITF Issue No. 95-7 “Implementation IssuesRelated to the Treatment of Minority Interest in Certain Real Estate InvestmentTrusts.”

 

Minority interest in the Partnership represents the limitedpartners’ proportionate share of the capital and earnings of thePartnership.  Income or loss isallocated to the minority interest based on its weighted average ownershippercentage in the Partnership throughout the period, and capital is allocatedbased on its ownership percentage at year-end.  Any difference is recorded as a reallocation of minority interestas a component of shareholders’ equity.

 

LOSSPER SHARE

 

Basic and diluted loss per Share of Beneficial Interest havebeen computed based on the weighted-average number of Shares ofBeneficial Interest and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during theperiods.

 

For the twelve months ended January 31, 2004, 2003 and2002, there were Class A and Class B limited partnership unitsoutstanding, which are convertible into Shares of Beneficial Interest of theTrust.  Assuming conversion at thebeginning of each period, the aggregate weighted-average of these Sharesof Beneficial Interest would have been 6,457,165, 6,673,808 and 6,810,436 inaddition to the basic shares outstanding for fiscal year 2004, 2003 and 2002,respectively.  These Shares ofBeneficial Interest issuable upon conversion of the Class A and Class B limitedpartnership units are anti-dilutive due to the losses for each of theaforementioned years.  Therefore, theyhave not been included in the number of issued and outstanding Shares ofBeneficial Interest used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

 

For the twelve months ended January 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002,246,000, 253,200 and 272,300 stock options, respectively, are not includedin the computation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would havean antidilutive effect because of losses and the fact that the option exerciseprices are greater than the average market price of the Trust’s Shares ofBeneficial Interest.

 

FAIRVALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

For disclosure purposes, fair value is determined by usingavailable market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  Due to their short maturities, cash and cashequivalents are carried at cost, which reasonably approximates fair value.

 

33

----

 

The fair value of mortgage notes payable, notes payable tobanks and notes and advances payable to related parties is estimated by usingthe current rates which would be available for similar loans having the sameremaining maturities.  The carryingvalue of accounts payable and accrued expenses and other notes payableapproximates fair value, due to their short-term nature.  See Note 14 – “Fair Value of FinancialInstruments.”

 

SEGMENTREPORTING

 

The Trust views its operations as one operating businesssegment, a real estate investment trust that owns eight hotel properties withan aggregate of 1,231 suites in Arizona, southern California and New Mexico.

 

ADVERTISINGCOSTS

 

Amounts incurred for advertising costs with third parties areexpensed as incurred.  Advertisingexpense totaled approximately $1,095,000, $1,205,000 and $1,210,000 for theyears ended January 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

 

PENDINGACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting StandardsBoard issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of VariableInterest Entities,” (“FIN 46”), an interpretation of Accounting ResearchBulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statement,” FIN 46 wassubsequently amended by FIN 46R.  ThisInterpretation requires an existing unconsolidated variable interest entity tobe consolidated by their primary beneficiary if the entity does not effectivelydisperse risk among all parties involved or if other parties do not havesignificant capital to finance activities without subordinated financialsupport from the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party that absorbs a majority of theentity’s expected losses, receives a majority of its expected residual returns,or both, as a result of holding variable interests, which are the ownership,contractual or other pecuniary interests in an entity.  This Interpretation is effective immediatelyfor variable interest entities created after December 31, 2003 and nolater than the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period endingafter March 15, 2004 for interests in variable interest entities that wereacquired prior to February 1, 2003. While management has not yet completed its evaluation of therequirements of FIN 46R, management believes it is probable the Trust willconsolidate, or be required to provide certain additional disclosures withrespect to, the Management Company and the Licensing Corp. when FIN 46R becomeseffective.  On an aggregate basis,unaudited financial statements of the Management Company and the LicensingCorp. for the year ended January 31, 2004 included the following:

 
| Gross revenue                 |   | $         | 9,182,544 |   |
|-------------------------------|--------|-----------|-----------|--------|
| Net income                    |   | 411,572   |      |
| Assets, primarily receivables |   | 358,239   |      |
| Liabilities, primarily debt   |   | 1,247,716 |      |
| Deficit                       |   | (889,477  | )         |

 

The Trust recognized expense totaling $440,530, $369,896 and$679,619 for management fees to the Management Company for the years endedJanuary 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $7,389,988, $8,756,842and $8,524,902 for leased labor services provided by the Management Company forthe years ended January 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  The Trust also recognized expense totaling$301,007, $214,838 and $384,868 for licensing fees to the Licensing Corp. forthe years ended January 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

34

----

 

When FIN 46R becomes effective, the net amount that may beadded to the Trust’s balance sheet may be reported either as a cumulativeeffect of an accounting change adjustment presented as of the beginning of thethen-current financial statements or by restating previously issued financialstatements with a cumulative effect adjustment presented as of the beginning ofthe first year restated.  Since theTrust is not required to restate its financial statements, it does not intendto do so.

 

RECLASSIFICATIONS

 

Certain prior year balances on the balance sheet andstatement of operations have been reclassified to conform to current yearpresentation with no effect on net loss or total shareholders’ (deficit)equity.  In January 2003, SFASNo. 145 “Rescission of SFAS No. 4, 44, 64, and Amendment of SFASNo. 13 and Technical Corrections” became effective.  SFAS No. 145 prevents gains or losseson the extinguishment of debt not meeting the criteria of APB No. 30 frombeing treated as an extraordinary item. We adopted SFAS No. 145 in February 2003, and as a result, thecharge of $322,153 recorded in fiscal year 2002 as an extraordinary losshas been reclassified to general and administrative expenses.

##  

## On March 25, 2004, the Trustsold its Tempe, Arizona property to Tempe/Phoenix Airport Resort LLC, anaffiliate of Mr. Wirth, for $6.8 million, its appraised value.  Tempe/Phoenix Airport Resort LLC satisfiedthe purchase price by assuming $5.1 million of the Trust’s notes payable to Mr.Wirth and his affiliates and assuming the $1.7 million mortgage note secured bythe property.

##  

## On April 1, 2004, the Trustsold its San Diego, California property to a third party for $9.7 million,which was paid in cash.  The Trust used$4.8 million of the proceeds to satisfy its mortgage note payable on theproperty.

##  

## On February 2, 2004, theTrust purchased 433,036 Class B limited partnership units in the Partnershipfrom affiliates of Mr. Wirth at a purchase price equal to the closing price ofthe Trust’s Shares of Beneficial Interest on that date.

## notes, each bearing interest at 7% per annum, totaling $974,332.  The notes will be amortized over 84 months,with periodic principal and interest payments equal to $14,668 commencing onMarch 2, 2004.

##  

EffectiveFebruary 1, 2004, the Trust relinquished its REIT status. As of that date, anydistributions to its shareholders are not deductible for purposes of computingthe Trust’s taxable income and the Trust will be subject to income tax,including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on its taxable income atregular corporate rates, without offset for distributions of such income to itsshareholders.

 

As aREIT, the Trust was required to distribute at least 90% of its net taxableincome annually in order to maintain its REIT qualification. No suchminimum-distribution requirements apply to the Trust beginning onFebruary 1, 2004.

 

Withthe relinquishment of the Trust’s REIT status, the Trust will be taxed underthe general rules applicable to C corporations.  Consequently, the Trust could pay up to 35% of its taxable incomein federal taxes and also pay applicable state taxes.  As a C corporation, the Trust’s distributions in respect of itsShares of Beneficial Interest will be taxed as dividends to the extent of theTrust’s current and accumulated earnings and profits.  Distributions in excess of the Trust’s current and accumulatedprofits will be taxed to a shareholder as a return of capital to the extent ofthe shareholder’s tax basis in his Shares of Beneficial Interest, and theamount of a distribution in excess of the shareholder’s tax basis will be taxedas a capital gain (a long term capital gain if the shareholder has held theShares of Beneficial Interest for more than one year).  Under the Jobs and Growth Tax ReliefReconciliation Act of 2003, the maximum federal income tax rate applicable todividends and long term capital gains derived from a stock investment is15%.  On the other hand, distributionsto corporate shareholders may be eligible for the dividends received deduction,subject to certain limitations in the Internal Revenue Code, whereasdistributions from REITs are not eligible for the dividends-received deduction.
