INNSUITES HOSPITALITY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JULYOCTOBER 31, 2014 AND JANUARY 31, 2014

AND FOR THE THREE AND SIXNINE MONTHS ENDED JULYOCTOBER 31, 2014 AND 2013

 

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

As of JulyOctober 31, 2014, InnSuites Hospitality Trust (the “Trust”, “we” or “our”) owns interests in directly and through a partnership interest, five hotels with an aggregate of 843 suites in Arizona, southern California and New Mexico (the “Hotels”).  The Hotels operate under the trade name “InnSuites Hotels.”

 

Full service hotels often contain upscale full-service facilities with a large volume of full service accommodations, on-site full service restaurant(s), and a variety of on-site amenities such as swimming pools, a health club, children’s activities, ballrooms and on-site conference facilities. Moderate or limited service hotels are small to medium-sized hotel establishments that offer a limited amount of on-site amenities. Most moderate or limited service establishments may still offer full service accommodations but lack leisure amenities such as an on-site restaurant or a swimming pool. We consider one of our Tucson, Arizona hotels and our hotel located in Albuquerque, New Mexico a moderate or limited service establishment. All of our other properties are full service hotels.

 

The Trust is the sole general partner of RRF Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and owned a 72.11% and 72.04% interest in the Partnership as of JulyOctober 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014, respectively. The Trust’s weighted average ownership for the sixnine month period ended JulyOctober 31, 2014 and 2013 was 72.06%72.08% and 72.04%, respectively. As of JulyOctober 31, 2014, the Partnership owned 100% of one InnSuites® hotel located in Tucson, Arizona, owned a 51.01% interest in another InnSuites® hotel located in Tucson, Arizona and owned a 56.45%56.05% interest in an InnSuites® hotel located in Ontario, California.  The Trust owns 99.9% of and operates a Yuma, Arizona hotel property directly and owns a direct 50.68%50.64% interest in an InnSuites® hotel located in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

 

Under certain management agreements, InnSuites Hotels, our subsidiary, manages the Hotels’ daily operations.  The Trust also provides the use of the “InnSuites” trademark to the Hotels through wholly-owned InnSuites Hotels.  All such expenses and reimbursements between the Trust, InnSuites Hotels and the Partnership have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

InnDependent Boutique Collection (“IBC Hotels”), a wholly owned subsidiary of InnSuites Hospitality Trust, has a network of approximately 6,3006,500 properties and provides revenue generating reservation services and cost saving solutions to independent boutique hotels. Revenues and expenses of IBC Hotels are not significant for all periods presented and not separately reported.

 

PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

 

The Partnership Agreement of the Partnership provides for the issuance of two classes of Limited Partnership units, Class A and Class B.  Class A and Class B Partnership units are identical in all respects, except that each Class A Partnership unit is convertible into one newly-issued Share of Beneficial Interest of the Trust at any time at the option of the particular limited partner.  The Class B Partnership units may only become convertible, each into one newly-issued Share of Beneficial Interest of the Trust, with the approval of the Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion.  On JulyOctober 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014, 276,131 and 286,034 Class A Partnership units were issued and outstanding, representing 2.09% and 2.17% of the total Partnership units, respectively.  Additionally, as of both JulyOctober 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014, 3,407,938 Class B Partnership units were outstanding to James Wirth, the Trust’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Wirth’s affiliates, or 25.80% of the total Partnership units. If all of the Class A and B Partnership units were converted on JulyOctober 31, 2014, the limited partners in the Partnership would receive 3,684,069 Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust.  As of JulyOctober 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014, the Trust owns 9,527,448 and 9,517,545 general partner units in the Partnership, representing 72.11% and 72.04% of the total Partnership units, respectively.

 

LIQUIDITY

 

Our principal source of cash to meet our cash requirements, including distributions to our shareholders, is our share of the Partnership’s cash flow and quarterly distributions from the Albuquerque, New Mexico property and the Ontario, California and Tucson,Yuma, Arizona properties, and more recently, sales of non-controlling interests in certain of our Hotels.  The Partnership’s principal source of cash flows is from Hotel operations for the one hotel property it owns and from its partial ownership of the Tucson, Arizona and Ontario, California properties.   Our liquidity, including our ability to make distributions to our shareholders, will depend upon our ability and the Partnership’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow from Hotel operations and to service our debt.

 

Hotel operations are significantly affected by occupancy and room rates at the Hotels. We anticipate occupancy and Average Daily Rate (“ADR”) will be improved in the coming year, capital improvements are expected to be higher during the current fiscal year as compared to prior year fiscal year as we continue to improve our properties in our efforts outperform our competition.

 

 

 

As of JulyOctober 31, 2014, the Trust had $315,000$345,000 drawn on our line of credit. Our credit line was renewed on June 23, 2014 for one additional year and matures on June 23, 2015. As of September 2,December 1, 2014, the outstanding balance on the line of credit was $575,000.$505,000.

 

As of JulyOctober 31, 2014, the Trust had a related party Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note with a $1,315,940$1,400,187 account balance. The Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note has interest at 7.0% per annum and is interest only quarterly. The Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note was amended on July 1,October 27, 2014 to increase the maximum borrowing capacity to $1,400,000.$2,000,000. As of September 2,December 1, 2014, the outstanding balance on the Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note was $917,943.$1,550,187.

 

With the expected continued availability of the $600,000 bank line of credit, which management renewed on June 23, 2014 for one additional year, and the availability of the $1,400,000$2,000,000 related party Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note, the refinance of the Ontario Hospitality Properties, LP mortgage note payable, the refinance or extension of one of our mortgage note payables which management expects to occur, and the $447,000$477,000, $415,520 and $451,560$318,000 American Express business loans with TucsonOntario Hospitality Properties, LLPLP, Yuma Hospitality Properties Limited Partnership and Tucson St. Mary’sAlbuquerque Suite Hospitality, LLC, respectively, management believes that it will have enough cash on hand to meet all of our financial obligations as they become due for at least the next year. In addition, our management is analyzing other strategic options available to us, including the refinancing of another property or raising additional funds through additional non-controlling interest sales, or a potential sale of one of our properties; however, such transactions may not be available or available on terms that are favorable to the Trust.

 

There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional or replacement funds, or that these funds may be obtainable on terms that are favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional or replacement funds, we may be required to sell certain of our assets to meet our liquidity needs, which may not be on terms that are favorable.

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information related to the Trust’s organization, significant accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) has been condensed or omitted. The accounting policies followed in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the Trust’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2014, as filed on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented and the presentations and disclosures herein are adequate when read in conjunction with the Trust’s Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2014.

 

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

 

SEASONALITY OF THE HOTEL BUSINESS

 

The Hotels’ operations historically have been somewhat 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 occupancy period at those three southern Arizona hotels.  This seasonality pattern can be expected to cause fluctuations in the Trust’s quarterly revenues.  The two hotels located in California and New Mexico historically experience their most profitable periods during the second and third fiscal quarters (the summer season), providing some balance to the general seasonality of the Trust’s hotel business.

 

The seasonal nature of the Trust’s business increases its vulnerability to risks such as labor force shortages and cash flow issues.  Further, if an adverse event such as an actual or threatened terrorist attack, international conflict, data breach, regional economic downturn or poor weather conditions should occur during the first or fourth fiscal quarters, the adverse impact to the Trust’s revenues could likely be greater as a result of its southern Arizona seasonal business.

 

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

 

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”). The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”), as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in ASU 2014-12 either: (i) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (ii) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements, however does not expect there to be a material impact at this time.

 

 

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, ASU 2014-09 provides for the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 605, “Revenue Recognition,” most industry-specific guidance throughout the industry topics of the Accounting Standards Codification, and some cost guidance related to construction-type and production-type contracts. ASU 2014-09 is effective for public entities for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the 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 the economy on the travel and hospitality industries.  The Trust cannot predict if any of the above items will have a significant impact in the future, nor can it predict what impact, if any, the occurrence of these or other events might have on the Trust’s operations and cash flows.  Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include, but are not limited to, the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets and estimates of future cash flows used to test a long-lived asset for recoverability, the fair values of the long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts and fair value of stock based-compensation.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Room, food and beverage, management and licensing fees, and other revenue are recognized as earned as services are provided and items are sold.  Sales taxes collected are excluded from gross revenue.

 

INCOME PER SHARE

 

Basic and diluted income per Share of Beneficial Interest is computed based on the weighted-average number of Shares of Beneficial Interest and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Dilutive securities are limited to the Class A and Class B units of the Partnership, which are convertible into 3,684,069 Shares of the Beneficial Interest, as discussed in Note 1. 

 

At the beginning of each period, the aggregate weighted-average of these Shares of Beneficial Interest for units of the Partnership would have been 3,688,603 and 3,693,972 for the quarters ended JulyOctober 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  These Shares of Beneficial Interest issuable upon conversion of the Class A and Class B Partnership units were anti-dilutive during the sixnine month periods ended JulyOctober 31, 2014 and 2013. Therefore no reconciliation of basic and diluted income per share is presented.

 

3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

For the sixnine months ended JulyOctober 31, 2014, the Trust recognized expenses of $18,333$27,500 related to stock-based compensation. The Trust issued 23,100 restricted shares with a total market value of $36,666 in the first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2015 as compensation to its four outside Trustees for fiscal year 2015. On a monthly basis during fiscal year 2015, each outside Trustee vests approximately 500 shares.

On July 22, 2010, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved, with Mr. Wirth abstaining, for the Partnership to enter into an agreement with Rare Earth, an affiliate of Mr. Wirth, to sell units in Albuquerque Suite Hospitality, LLC (the “Albuquerque entity”), which owns and operates the Albuquerque, New Mexico hotel property.  Under the agreement, Rare Earth agreed to either purchase or bring in other investors to purchase at least 49% of the membership interests in the Albuquerque entity and the parties agreed to restructure the operating agreement of the Albuquerque entity.  A total of 400 units were available for sale for $10,000 per unit, with a two-unit minimum subscription.  On September 24, 2010, the parties revised the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement to name Rare Earth as the administrative member of the Albuquerque entity in charge of the day-to-day management.

 

On December 9, 2013, the Trust entered into an updated restructuring agreement with Rare Earth to allow for the sale of additional interest units in the Albuquerque entity for $10,000 per unit. Under the updated restructuring agreement, Rare Earth agreed to either purchase or bring in other investors to purchase up to 150 (and potentially up to 190 if the overallotment is exercised) units. Under the terms of the updated restructuring agreement, the Trust agreed to hold at least 50.1% of the outstanding units in the Albuquerque entity, on a post-transaction basis and intends to maintain this minimum ownership percentage through the purchase of units under this offering. The Board of Trustees approved this restructuring on December 9, 2013. The units in the Albuquerque entity are allocated to three classes with differing cumulative discretionary priority distribution rights through December 31, 2015. Class A units are owned by unrelated third parties and have first priority for distributions. Class B units are owned by the Trust and have second priority for distributions. Class C units are owned by Rare Earth or other affiliates of Mr. Wirth and have the lowest priority for distributions from the Albuquerque entity. Priority distributions of $700 per unit per year are cumulative until December 31, 2015; however, after December 31, 2015 Class A unit holders continue to hold a preference on distributions over Class B and Class C unit holders.

 

If certain triggering events related to the Albuquerque entity occur prior to the payment of all accumulated distributions to its members, such accumulated distributions will be paid out of any proceeds of the event before general distribution of the proceeds to the members.  In the event that funds generated from a triggering event are insufficient to pay the total amount of all such accumulated distributions owed to the members, all Class A members will participate pro rata in the funds available for distribution to them until paid in full, then Class B, and then Class C. After all investors have received their initial capital plus a 7% per annum simple return, any additional profits will be allocated 50% to Rare Earth, with the remaining 50% allocated proportionately to all unit classes. Rare Earth received a restructuring fee of $128,000, conditioned upon and arising from the sale of the first 100 units in the Albuquerque entity following the December 31, 2013 restructuring. The Albuquerque entity plans to use its best efforts to pay the discretionary priority distributions.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and our Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2014.

 

Our principal source of cash to meet our cash requirements, including distributions to our shareholders, is our share of the Our principal source of cash to meet our cash requirements, including our distributions, is our share of the Partnership’s cash flow and cash flows from the Albuquerque, New Mexico property and the Yuma, Arizona property, and more recently, sales of non-controlling interests in certain of our Hotels.  The Partnership’s principal source of cash flows is from Hotel operations for the one hotel property it owns and from its partial ownership of the Tucson, Arizona and Ontario, California properties.  Our liquidity, including our ability to make distributions to our shareholders, will depend upon our ability and the Partnership’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow from Hotel operations and to service our debt.

 


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2014, we identified the critical accounting policies that affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe that the policies we follow for the valuation of our Hotel properties, which constitute the majority of our assets, are our most critical policies. Those policies include methods used to recognize and measure any identified impairment of our Hotel property assets. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies since January 31, 2014.

 

HOTEL PROPERTIES

 

Our long-term strategic plan is to obtain the full benefit of our real estate equity and to migrate our focus from a hotel owner to a hospitality service company by expanding our trademark license, management, reservation, and advertising services, through IBC Hotels, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trust. As of JulyOctober 31, 2014, IBC Hotels has a network of approximately 6,3006,500 hotels. Revenues and expenses of IBC Hotels are not significant and not separately reported.

 

We are planning significant expansion of IBC Hotels during the next couple of fiscal years as we concentrate our sales and marketing efforts towards consumers.  We anticipate the IBC Hotels sales and marketing efforts to increase our revenues and increase our consolidated net income over the next couple of fiscal years. For each reservation, IBC Hotels receives a 10% transactional fee plus reimbursement of our credit card processing fees associated with the reservation.

 

This plan is similar to strategies followed by internationally diversified hotel industry leaders, which over the last several years have reduced real estate holdings and concentrated on hospitality services. We began our long-term corporate strategy when we relinquished our REIT income tax status in January 2004, which had previously prevented us from providing management services to hotels. In June 2004, we acquired our trademark license and management agreements and began providing management, trademark and reservations services to our Hotels.

 

We expect to use proceeds from the sale of the Hotels, if any, as needed to support hospitality service operations as cash flow from current operations, primarily the rental of hotel rooms, declines with the sale of the Hotels.

The listed asking price is the amount at which we would sell each of the Hotels and is based on the original listed selling price adjusted to reflect recent hotel sales in the areas of operation of the Hotels and current earnings of each of the Hotels. The listed asking price is not based on appraisals of the properties.


 

There is no assurance that the listed sales price for the individual Hotel properties will be realized.  However, our management believes that these values are reasonable based on local market conditions and comparable sales. Changes in market conditions have in part resulted, and may in the future result, in our changing one or all of the listed asking prices.

 

COMPLIANCE WITH CONTINUED LISTING STANDARDS OF NYSE MKT

 

On January 8, 2013, the Trust received a letter from the NYSE MKT LLC (f/k/a AMEX) (the "NYSE MKT") informing the Trust that the staff of the NYSE MKT’s Corporate Compliance Department has determined that the Trust is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide due to the Trust having stockholders' equity of less than $4.0 million and losses from continuing operations in three of its four most recent fiscal years.


 

The Trust was afforded the opportunity to submit a plan of compliance to the NYSE MKT and submitted its plan on February 5, 2013. On March 21, 2013, the NYSE MKT notified the Trust that it accepted the Trust’s plan of compliance and granted the Trust an extension until April 30, 2014 to regain compliance with the continued listing standards.

 

On May 2, 2013, the Trust received another letter from the NYSE MKT informing the Trust that the Trust is not in compliance with an additional continued listing standard of the NYSE MKT, Section 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide, due to the Trust having stockholders’ equity of less than $6.0 million and net losses in five consecutive fiscal years as of January 31, 2013. The plan submitted in response to the first letter received increased stockholders’ equity in excess of $6.0 million before the April 30, 2014 deadline; therefore, the Trust was not required to submit an additional plan to regain compliance with the continued listing standards.

 

On December 16, 2013, the Trust requested an extension of the plan period. Based on a review of information provided by the Trust, on January 10, 2014, the NYSE MKT granted the Trust an extension of time to regain compliance with the NYSE MKT continued listing standards until July 8, 2014.

 

On January 31, 2014, both the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees and the independent members of the Board of Trustees met in separate meetings to discuss the potential purchase of 51% of the partnership interests of Fort Worth/Dallas Suite Hospitality Partnership by the Trust and other potential ideas to increase the Trust’s equity to meet the NYSE MKT’s shareholders’ equity requirements. The Fort Worth/Dallas Suite Hospitality Partnership is controlled by Mr. Wirth and his affiliates. During both meetings, the participants concluded that the combination of our 51% purchase of Fort Worth/Dallas Partnership and additional syndication of our Tucson, Albuquerque and Ontario entities were the most cost effective way to meet the NYSE MKT’s shareholders’ equity requirements.

 

On February 3, 2014, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees met to review and discuss the draft Purchase Agreement for the Fort Worth/Dallas Suite Hospitality Partnership and the implications of this purchase to our shareholders. Due to Mr. Wirth’s and his family members’ interests in the Fort Worth/Dallas Suite Hospitality Partnership, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees concluded that this transaction was a related party transaction, considered such transaction in accordance with our Related Party Transactions Policy, and determined that it was fair to the Trust and its shareholders. The independent Trustees of our Board also met on February 3, 2014. Both the Audit Committee and the independent Trustees of our Board concluded that purchase price of Fort Worth/Dallas Suite Hospitality Partnership, which is based on the audited book value as of January 31, 2014, is significantly less than the market value of the Hotel Trinity property. The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees recommended, by unanimous vote, to our Board of Trustees to approve our purchase of 51% of the partnership interests of Fort Worth/Dallas Suite Hospitality Partnership recognizing that the transaction is with a related party. On February 3, 2014, the independent members of our Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve this acquisition, subject to the consent of a lender of Fort Worth/Dallas Suite Hospitality Partnership to the acquisition and shareholder approval of the issuance of our Shares of Beneficial Interest as consideration for the acquisition, which was approved at our annual meeting in June 2014. The lender has consented to the acquisition.

 

On March 24, 2014, the Trust entered into the Purchase Agreement with Fort Worth/Dallas Suite Hospitality Partnership, an affiliate of Mr. Wirth, our Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Chief Executive Officer and largest shareholder, to purchase 51% of the partnership interests of Fort Worth/Dallas Suite Hospitality Partnership, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement was unanimously approved by our Audit Committee and by our independent Trustees. In addition, the RRF Limited Partnership Agreement was amended to facilitate thisthais acquisition by eliminating the requirement for the Trust to contribute its 51% of the partnership interests of Fort Worth/Dallas Suite Hospitality Partnership, when and if acquired, to the Partnership in exchange of additional general partner interests in the Partnership.

 

On June 27, 2014, the Trusts’ Shareholders approved the issuance of Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust as consideration for the acquisition of 51% of the partnership interests of Fort Worth/Dallas Suite Hospitality Partnership. After completion of the Shareholder Meeting on June 27, 2014, the independent Trustees jointly with Hotel Trinity’s seller, Suite Hotels, LLC, elected not to have the Trust complete the acquisition of Hotel Trinity at this time pending further Board of Trustee review. 


 

On June 27, 2014, the Trust received another letter from the NYSE MKT informing the Trust that the Trust is not in compliance with continued listing standards of the NYSE MKT, Section 1003(a)(ii) and Section 1003(a) (iii) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide, due to the Trust having stockholders’ equity of less than $4.0 million and $6.0 million, respectively, as of April 30, 2014, and net losses in five consecutive fiscal years as of January 31, 2014. The Trust was informed by the NYSE MKT that a significant portion of the Trust’s non-controlling interest may not be used in its compliance calculation. The Trust was afforded the opportunity to submit a plan to the NYSE MKT by July 29, 2014 (the “plan period”) on how it intends to regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii) by June 27, 2015. On July 24, 2014, the Trust submitted a plan to the NYSE MKT for its review and approval and subsequently provided additional information to the NYSE MKT. There is no assurance that


On September 19, 2014, the NYSE MKT will approvenotified the plan.Trust that it is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide since it reported Stockholders’ Equity of less than $2.0 million at July 31, 2014 and has incurred losses in two of its three fiscal years ended January 31, 2014. The NYSE has accepted Trusts’ equity expansion compliance plan and has granted the Trust an extension of time until December 29, 2015 to comply with Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide.

 

The Trust will continue to be subject to periodic reviews by the NYSE MKT’s staff during this period. Failure to make progress consistent with the Plan or regain compliance with all continued listing standards of the NYSE MKT by the end of the plan period could result in the Trust being delisted from the NYSE MKT.

 

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

The following non-GAAP presentations of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and funds from operations (“FFO”) are made to assist our investors in evaluating our operating performance.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before non-controlling interest, interest expense, amortization of loan costs, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe these measurements (a) more accurately reflect the ongoing performance of our hotel assets and other investments, (b) provide more useful information to investors as indicators of our ability to meet our future debt payment and working capital requirements, and (c) provide an overall evaluation of our financial condition. Adjusted EBITDA as calculated by us may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA reported by other companies that do not define Adjusted EBITDA exactly as we define the term. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to (a) GAAP net income or loss as an indication of our financial performance or (b) GAAP cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

FFO is calculated on the basis defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which is net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses on sales of properties, asset impairment adjustments, and extraordinary items as defined by GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interests in the operating partnership. NAREIT developed FFO as a relative measure of performance of an equity REIT to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined by GAAP. The Trust is an unincorporated Ohio business trust; however, the Trust is not a real estate investment trust for federal taxation purposes. Management uses this measurement to compare itself to REITs with similar depreciable assets. We consider FFO to be an appropriate measure of our ongoing normalized operating performance. We compute FFO in accordance with our interpretation of standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other companies that either do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or interpret the NAREIT definition differently than us. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to (a) GAAP net income or loss as an indication of our financial performance or (b) GAAP cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. However, to facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, we believe that FFO should be considered along with our net income or loss and cash flows reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Our expenses consist primarily of hotel operating expenses, property taxes, insurance, corporate overhead, interest on mortgage debt, professional fees and depreciation of the Hotels. Our operating performance is principally related to the performance of the Hotels. Therefore, management believes that a review of the historical performance of the operations of the Hotels, particularly with respect to occupancy, calculated as rooms sold divided by the number of rooms available, average daily rate (“ADR”), calculated as total room revenue divided by number of rooms sold, and revenue per available room (“REVPAR”), calculated as total room revenue divided by the number of rooms available, is appropriate for understanding revenue from the Hotels. Occupancy was 68.80%65.10% for the sixnine months ended JulyOctober 31, 2014, a decrease of 2.2%1.52% from the prior year period. ADR increased $0.30$1.02 to $68.87.$67.46. The decreased occupancy and stable ADR resulted in a slight decrease of $1.30$0.34 in REVPAR to $47.38$43.92 from $48.68$44.26 in the prior year period. The decrease in occupancy is directly related to our economic pressures in our Yuma, Arizona market.

 

The following table shows occupancy, ADR and REVPAR for the period indicated:

The methodology to calculate the Occupancy, Average Daily Rate (ADR) and Revenue Per Available Room (REVPAR) has changed for those figures originally presented at JulyOctober 31, 2013. The JulyOctober 31, 2013 figures were originally calculated using a non-weighted average approach, as presented in the JulyOctober 31, 2013 filing. Management has restated the JulyOctober 31, 2013 figures using a weighted average approach, which considers the number of rooms in each hotel. As such, the JulyOctober 31, 2013 and 2014 figures are consistent with one another as presented.


 

No assurance can be given that the trends reflected in this data will be maintained or improve 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 economic conditions to positively affect our business levels for the remainder of this current fiscal year.

For the sixnine months ended JulyOctober 31, 2014 compared to the sixnine months ended JulyOctober 31, 2013, our revenues were approximately $8,056,000$11,235,000 and $8,223,000,$11,262,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately $167,000$27,000 or 2.0%0.2%. Revenues from hotel operations decreased during the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2015 as compared to the same period during fiscal year 2014 due to minimal decreases in occupancy levels and relatively flat daily rates. The decrease in occupancy is directly related to our economic pressures in our Yuma, Arizona market.

 

Our operating expenses increased by approximately $425,000$566,000 to approximately $8,181,000$11,871,000 during the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2015, compared to approximately $7,755,000$11,305,000 during the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2014. While revenues remained relatively consistent with prior-year, management elected to perform additional deep cleanings of rooms andwhich resulted in approximately $84,000 of additional repairs and maintenanceexpenditures during the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2015 as compared to the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2014. Our food and beverage expenses decreased by approximately $38,000$27,000 to approximately $457,000$664,000 during the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2015 compared to the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2014 as management closely monitored food and beverage expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased to approximately $1,940,000$2,646,000 from approximately $1,769,000$2,460,000 during the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2015 as compared to the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2014 due to additional accounts receivable write-offs, a settlement of an Americans with Disabilities Act claim, increases in credit card processing fees and an increase in Best Western administration expenditures.

 

Operating loss was approximately ($124,000)635,000) for the sixnine months ended JulyOctober 31, 2014 as compared to an operating profit of approximately $468,000($43,000) for the sixnine months ended JulyOctober 31, 2013, a decrease of approximately $592,000.$593,000. The change was primarily due to decreasedslight decrease of revenues and an increase in operating expenses. Management is evaluating opportunities to reduce its general and administration, sales and marketing, utilities and room expenses to control operating expenses.

 

Our interest expense was approximately $392,000$555,000 for the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2015 as compared to approximately $397,000$606,000 for the first six months of fiscal year 2014, a decrease of approximately $5,000.$51,000 due to the payoff of our Albuquerque property mortgage, and refinancing of our Ontario, California property. Due to the HotelTrust sales of non-controlling interest,interests, the income tax provision was $80,000 during the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2015 as compared to $0 for the first sixnine month of fiscal year 2014.

 

Consolidated net loss was approximately ($591,000)1,262,000) for the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2015 and consolidated net income was approximately $73,000($647,000) for the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2014, a decreasenet loss increase of approximately $664,000.$615,000. This net loss increase was primarily caused by steady revenues and an increased amount of operating expenses.

 

Net loss attributable to controlling interest was approximately ($785,000)1,380,000) during the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2015 as compared to approximately ($231,000)846,000) for first sixnine months of fiscal year 2014, an increase of approximately ($554,000),$533,000, or ($0.09)0.16) per share during the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2015 as compared to or ($0.03)0.10) per share during the prior year period. The change is primarily due to additional ownership in the hotels belonging to non-controlling interest and a greater net loss for the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2015.2015 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal year 2014.

For the secondthird quarter of fiscal year 2015, our total revenue was approximately $3,330,000$3,179,000 which decreasedincreased by approximately $97,000$140,000 from the secondthird quarter of fiscal year 2014. During the secondthird quarter of fiscal year 2015 compared to the secondthird quarter of fiscal year 2014, room revenues decreasedincreased by approximately $82,000,$120,000, food and beverage revenues decreased by approximately $28,000,were relatively flat, management and trademark fees revenues increased by approximately $20,000$18,000 and other revenues decreased by approximately $7,000.were relatively flat. The decreaseincrease in room revenuerevenues was primarily due to a significant decreasepickup in government sector business at our Yuma, Arizona property.the Ontario, California and Tucson St. Mary’s properties. The Trust collects 2.5% of revenues as management fees from hotels owned by affiliates of Mr. Wirth. Management and trademark fees revenues increased as revenues of the hotels owned by affiliates of Mr. Wirth increased.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Our principal source of cash to meet our cash requirements, including our distributions, is our share of the Partnership’s cash flow and cash flows from the Albuquerque, New Mexico property and the Yuma, Arizona property.  The Partnership’s principal source of cash flows is from Hotel operations for the one hotel property it owns and from its partial ownership of the Tucson, Arizona and Ontario, California properties, and more recently, sales of non-controlling interests in certain of our Hotels.  Our liquidity, including our ability to make distributions to our shareholders, will depend upon our ability and the Partnership’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow from Hotel operations and to service our debt.

 

 

 

Hotel operations are significantly affected by occupancy and room rates at the Hotels. Results are also significantly impacted by the overall economic conditions, specifically, conditions in the travel industry. Unfavorable changes in these factors could negatively impact hotel room demand and pricing, which would reduce the Trust’s profit margins on rented suites. Occupancy decreased by approximately 2%1.5% from the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2015 as compared to the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2014, while average daily rates remained relatively stable.increased by approximately $1.02. We had a significant decrease in the revenues of our Yuma, Arizona property, as business travel for the government sector decreased in the general area. Management is actively working with the property’s sales department to replace the government sector business. We anticipate revenues to increase at our Yuma, Arizona property during the thirdfourth fiscal quarter due to an increase in international medical contracts.

 

Following our refinancing of our mortgage for our Ontario hotel property, we have minimum debt and mortgage payments of approximately $6,270,548$5,100,000 and approximately $1,749,786$857,000 due during the remaining portion of fiscal year 2015 and during fiscal year 2016, respectively. Management expects to either refinance or obtain extensions of our Tucson, Arizona note prior to maturity in January 2015.

With the expected continued availability of the $600,000 bank line of credit, which management renewed on June 23, 2014 for one additional year, and the availability of the $1,400,000$2,000,000 related party Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note, the refinance of one of its Tucson, Arizona properties mortgage note payable, the refinance or extension of one of our mortgage note payables which management expects to occur, and the $447,000$477,000, $415,520 and $451,560$318,000 American Express business loans with TucsonOntario Hospitality Properties, LLPLP, Yuma Hospitality Properties Limited Partnership and Tucson St. Mary’sAlbuquerque Suite Hospitality, LLC, respectively, management believes that it will have enough cash on hand to meet all of our financial obligations as they become due for at least the next year. In addition, our management is analyzing other strategic options available to us, including the refinancing of another property or raising additional funds through additional non-controlling interest sales, or a potential sale of one of our properties; however, such transactions may not be available or available on terms that are favorable to the Trust.

 

We anticipate a moderate improvement in the weak overall economic situation that negatively affected results in fiscal years 2013 and 2014, which could result in higher revenues and operating margins.  Challenges inSimilar to challenges during the first three fiscal quarters of 2015, the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015 areis expected to continue to include continued competition for all types of business in the markets in which we operate and our ability to maintain room rates while maintaining market share.

 


Net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $443,000$454,000 and approximately $886,000$1,162,000 for the sixnine months ended JulyOctober 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  During the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2015 compared to the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2014, revenues decreased by approximately $167,000$27,000 and operating expenses increased by approximately $425,000,$566,000, resulting in a decrease of approximately $592,000$539,000 in financial operational results. Net cash provided by operating activities reflects the decrease in financial operational results and the decreaseincrease in amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing fees and prepaid expenses and other assets, offset by the accounts payable and accrued expenses increase.decrease.

 

Net cash used in investing activities totaled approximately $704,000$1,039,000 and $278,000approximately $431,000 for the sixnine months ended JulyOctober 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The increase in net cash used in investing activities during the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2015 compared to the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2014 was due to a significant increase in capital expenditures offset by an increase in capital expenditures.restricted cash. Improvement of our properties is a key component of our overall plan to continue to outperform our competition. During the third and fourth quartersquarter of fiscal year 2015, management expectsdoes not expect to make any further significant property improvements.


 

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $259,000$634,000 during the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2015 as compared to net cash used in financing activities of approximately ($794,000)1,084,000) during the first sixnine months of fiscal year 2014. The increase in the cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to additional borrowings on the mortgage notes payable, line of credit – related party and proceeds from sale of non-controlling ownership interest in subsidiary, offset by principal payments on mortgage notes payable primarily due to the payoff of the AlbuquerqueOntario, California property mortgage.

 

As of JulyOctober 31, 2014, we had no commitments for capital expenditures beyond a 4% reserve for refurbishment and replacements that is set aside annually.

 

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 threeone of our properties.  As of JulyOctober 31, 2014, approximately $10,000$6,000 was held in these accounts and is reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Restricted Cash.”  The Fund is intended to be used for capital improvements to the Hotels and refurbishment and replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment.  During the sixnine months ended JulyOctober 31, 2014 and 2013, the Hotels spent approximately $792,000$1,077,000 and $250,000,$407,000, respectively, for capital expenditures.  We consider the majority of these improvements to be revenue producing.  Therefore, these amounts are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The Hotels recognized depreciation expense of approximately $892,000$1,333,000 and $899,000$1,334,000 during the sixnine months ended JulyOctober 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

As of JulyOctober 31, 2014, we had mortgage notes payable of approximately $16.9$16.6 million outstanding with respect to the Hotels, approximately $164,000$145,000 in secured promissory notes outstanding to unrelated third parties arising from the Shares of Beneficial Interest and Partnership unit repurchases, $315,000approximately $345,000 outstanding under our bank line of credit, and approximately $79,000, $449,000 and $391,000$1.7 million outstanding under our Yuma and two Tucson property business loans, respectivelyloans.

 

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.

 

There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional or replacement funds, or that these funds may be obtainable on terms that are favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional or replacement funds, we may be required to sell certain of our assets to meet our liquidity needs, which may not be on terms that are favorable.

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

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 or controlled subsidiaries that are not included in our condensed consolidated financial statements.  

 

SEASONALITY

 

The Hotels’ operations historically have been somewhat 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 occupancy period at those three southern Arizona hotels.  This seasonality pattern can be expected to cause fluctuations in the Trust’s quarterly revenues.  The two hotels located in California and New Mexico historically experience their most profitable periods during the second and third fiscal quarters (the summer season), providing some balance to the general seasonality of the Trust’s hotel business.

 


The seasonal nature of the Trust’s business increases its vulnerability to risks such as labor force shortages and cash flow issues.  Further, if an adverse event such as an actual or threatened terrorist attack, international conflict, data breach, regional economic downturn or poor weather conditions should occur during the first or fourth fiscal quarters, the adverse impact to the Trust’s revenues could likely be greater as a result of its southern Arizona seasonal business.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure 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 management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of JulyOctober 31, 2014.

 

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
