Sale Of Partnership Interests In Ontario Hospitality Properties LP [Text Block]	5. SALE OF OWNERSHIP INTERESTS IN ONTARIO HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES SUBSIDIARY On February 29, 2012, the Trust and Partnership entered into a restructuring agreement with Rare Earth to allow for the sale of minority interest units in Ontario Hospitality Properties, LP (the “Ontario entity”) for $10,000 per unit, which operates the Ontario hotel property, which was then wholly-owned by the Partnership. Under the agreement, Rare Earth agreed to either purchase or bring in other investors to purchase up to 250 units, which represents approximately 49% of the outstanding partnership units in the Ontario entity, on a post-transaction basis, and the parties agreed to restructure the limited partnership agreement of the Ontario entity. The Board of Trustees approved this restructuring on February 1, 2012. Under the restructured limited partnership agreement, Rare Earth became a general partner of the Ontario entity along with the Trust and Partnership. The limited partnership interests in the Ontario entity are allocated to three classes with differing cumulative discretionary priority distribution rights through March 31, 2017. Class A units are owned by unrelated third parties and have first priority for distributions. Class B units are owned by the Trust and Partnership 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 Ontario entity. Priority distributions of $700 per unit per year are cumulative until March 31, 2017; however, after March 31, 2017 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 Ontario 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 also received a formation fee of $320,000, conditioned upon and arising from the sale of the first 160 units in the Ontario entity. Priority distributions to all Classes are projected to be approximately $446,660 for each of the calendar years 2015 through 2017. The Ontario entity is required to use its best efforts to pay the priority distributions. The Trust does not guarantee and is not otherwise obligated to pay the cumulative priority distributions. InnSuites Hotels will continue to provide management, licensing and reservation services to the Ontario, California property. As of January 31, 2014, the Partnership holds a 61.55% ownership interest, or 392.70 Class B units, in the Ontario entity, the Trust holds a 0.05% ownership interest, 0.30 Class B units, Mr. Wirth and his affiliates hold a 1.57% interest through Rare Earth, or 10 Class C units, and other parties hold a 36.83% interest, or 235 Class A units. As of January 31, 2014 the Ontario entity has discretionary Priority Return payments to unrelated unit holders of approximately $165,000, to the Trust of approximately $200, to the Partnership of approximately $275,000 and to Rare Earth of approximately $7,000 per year payable quarterly for calendar year 2015, 2016 and 2017.
