Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

As of April 30, 2021, InnSuites Hospitality Trust (the “Trust”, “IHT”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a publicly traded unincorporated Ohio real estate investment trust (REIT) with hotels IHT owns and hotels IHT manages. The Trust and its shareholders directly in and through a Partnership, own interests in two hotels with an aggregate of 270 hotel suites in Arizona and New Mexico, both (the “Hotels”) operated under the federally trademarked name “InnSuites Hotels” or “InnSuites” as well as operating under the brand name “Best Western”. The Trust and its shareholders hold a $1 million 6% convertible debenture in UniGen Power Inc., (“UPI”), $60,000 in UPI’s privately-held common stock, and hold warrants to make further UPI Investments in the future.

Hotel Operations:

Our Tucson, Arizona Hotel and our Hotel located in Albuquerque, New Mexico are limited service hotels. Both hotels offer swimming pools, fitness centers, business centers, and complimentary breakfast. In addition, the Hotels offer social areas and modest conference facilities.

The Trust is the sole general partner of RRF Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and owned a 75.89% interest in the Partnership as of April 30, 2021 and January 31, 2021, respectively. The Trust’s weighted average ownership for the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 was 75.89%. As of April 30, 2021, the Partnership owned a 51.01% interest in an InnSuites® hotel located in Tucson, Arizona. The Trust owns a direct 20.67 % interest in an InnSuites® hotel located in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

InnSuites Hotels Inc.(“IHI”), a subsidiary, manages the Hotels’ daily operations under 2 management agreements. The Trust also provides the use of the “InnSuites” trademark to the Hotels through wholly-owned IHI. All expenses and reimbursements between the Trust, IHI and the Partnership have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Trust classified the Hotels as operating assets, but these assets are available for sale. At this time, the Trust is unable to predict when, and if, any of these will be sold. Neither the Tucson Hotel nor the Albuquerque Hotel is currently listed but the Trust is willing to consider offers for the Hotel. Each of the Hotels is being marketed at a price that management believes is reasonable in relation to its current fair value.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and include all assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Trust and its subsidiaries, as listed in the table below. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain items have been reclassified to conform to the current fiscal year presentation. The Trust exercises unilateral control over the Partnership and the entities listed below. Therefore, the unaudited condensed financial statements of the Partnership and the entities listed below are consolidated with the Trust, and all intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

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 limited partner holding the units. 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 April 30, 2021 and January 31, 2021, 211,708 Class A Partnership units were issued and outstanding, representing 1.60% of the total Partnership units, respectively. Additionally, as of April 30, 2021 and January 31, 2021, 2,974,038 Class B Partnership units were outstanding to and owned by James Wirth, the Trust’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Wirth’s affiliates, representing 22.51% ownership in the Partnership. If all the Class A and B Partnership units were converted on April 30, 2021 and January 31, 2021, the limited partners in the Partnership would receive 3,185,746 Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust. As of April 30, 2021, and January 31, 2021, the Trust owns 10,025,771 general partner units in the Partnership, representing 75.89% of the total Partnership units.

LIQUIDITY

The Trust’s principal source of cash to meet its cash requirements, including distributions to its shareholders, is our share of the Partnership quarterly distributions coming from the Tucson Hotel and cash flow; and quarterly distributions and cash flow from the Albuquerque, New Mexico property. The Trust’s liquidity, including our ability to make distributions to its shareholders, will depend upon the ability of the Trust and the Partnership’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow from hotel operations and to service debt, as well as to generate funds from repayment of loans and sale of assets. The Covid-19 Virus (the “Virus”) as of May 15, 2020, had previously disrupted the quarterly distributions from both the Albuquerque and Tucson hotels.

As of April 30, 2021, the Trust had a related party Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note with an amount payable of approximately $990,000. The Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note accrues interest at 7.0% per annum and requires interest only payments. The Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note has a maximum borrowing capacity to $2,000,000, which is available through December 31, 2021, and renews annually. This is a two-way Line of Credit, with both the Trust and an Affiliate lender having access to draw on the credit amount of up to $2,000,000 for either party.

As of April 30, 2021, the Trust had three Revolving lines of Credit totaling $250,000 with the Republic Bank of Arizona. The lines had a zero balance as of April 30, 2021.

With approximately $1,559,000 of cash, as of April 30, 2021, the availability of $1,000,000 from the combined $2,000,000 Advance to Affiliate credit facilities, and the $250,000 Revolving Lines of Credit with Republic Bank, the Trust believes that it has and will have enough cash on hand to meet all of the financial obligations as they become due for twelve months from the date of filing this 10-Q. In addition, management is analyzing other strategic options available to the Trust, including the sale or refinance of one or both Hotel properties. However, such transactions may not be available on terms that are favorable to the Trust, or at all.

There can be no assurance that the Trust will be successful selling properties, refinancing debt or raising additional or replacement funds, or that these funds may be available on terms that are favorable to it. If the Trust is unable to raise additional or replacement funds, it may be required to sell certain of our assets to meet liquidity needs, which may not be on terms that are favorable.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Trust in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information, and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. However, the Trust believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Operating results for the three months ended April 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 31, 2022. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2021.

The Trust has evaluated subsequent events through the date of the filing of its Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other than those events disclosed indicating the Covid-19 Virus beginnings of recovery of economic and business activity, the Company is not aware of any other significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a material impact on the Trust’s financial statements.

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

Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810-10-25, Albuquerque Suite Hospitality, LLC has been determined to be a variable interest entity with the Partnership as the primary beneficiary (see Note 4 – “Variable Interest Entity”). Therefore, the financial statements of Albuquerque Suite Hospitality, LLC, are consolidated with the Trust, and all significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The financial statements of the Partnership and Tucson Hospitality Properties, LLLP are consolidated with the Partnership and 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 Tucson Arizona Hotel historically experiences the highest occupancy in the first fiscal quarter (the winter high season) and, to a lesser extent, the fourth fiscal quarter. The second fiscal quarter historically tends to be the lowest occupancy period at this Arizona Hotel. This seasonality pattern can be expected to cause fluctuations in the Trust’s quarterly revenues. The Hotel located in Albuquerque, New Mexico historically experiences its most profitable periods during the second and third fiscal quarters (the summer high season), providing some balance to the general seasonality of the Trust’s hotel business. The state of New Mexico remains under Covid related travel restrictions.

The seasonal nature of the Trust’s business increases its vulnerability to risks such as travel disruptions, labor force shortages and cash flow issues. Further, if an adverse event such as an actual or threatened virus pandemic, terrorist attack, international conflict, data breach, regional economic downturn or poor weather should occur at either of its two hotels, the adverse impact to the Trust’s revenues and profit could be significant.
