INNSUITES HOSPITALITY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As
of and for the six months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
InnSuites Hospitality Trust (the "Trust") is a Real Estate Investment
Trust ("REIT"), which owns directly or indirectly, ten hotels with 1,665 suites
in Arizona and southern California. The hotels operate as InnSuites Hotels.
Until January 31, 1998, the Trust, formerly known as Realty ReFund
Trust, specialized in mortgage financing as its investment vehicle, refinancing
existing income producing commercial, industrial and multi-unit residential real
property by supplementing or replacing existing financing. The primary
refinancing technique, which the Trust employed, was wrap-around mortgage
lending.
On January 31, 1998, the Trust contributed $2,081,000 to RRF Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership, in exchange for
a 13.6% general partnership interest therein. The Trust is the sole general
partner of the Partnership. The Partnership issued limited partnership interests
representing 86.4% of the Partnership to acquire six hotel properties from
various entities. In addition, in order to acquire a seventh hotel property,
through a wholly-owned subsidiary, RRF Sub Corp., the Trust issued 647,231
shares of beneficial interest in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of
Buenaventura Properties, Inc. (BPI), which owned a hotel located in Scottsdale,
Arizona (InnSuites Hotels Scottsdale). These seven hotels are collectively
referred to as the "Initial Hotels." The Initial Hotels, together with
subsequent hotel acquisitions, are referred to herein as the "Hotels". The
Hotels are leased to InnSuites Hotels, Inc., formerly known as Realty Hotel
Lessee Corp. (the "Lessee"), pursuant to leases, which contain provisions for
rent based on the revenues of the Hotels (the "Percentage Leases"). Each
Percentage Lease obligates the Lessee to pay rent equal to the greater of the
minimum rent (Base Rent) or a percentage rent based on the gross revenues of
each Hotel. The Lessee holds the franchise agreement for each Hotel. The Lessee
is owned 9.8% by InnSuites Innternational Hotels, Inc., an entity owned by James
F. Wirth, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Trust ("Wirth")
and his spouse.
The Trust's general partnership interest in the Partnership was 47.75%
on July 31, 2000, and 45.13% (weighted average) for the six months ended July
31, 2000.
Partnership Agreement
The Partnership Agreement provides for the issuance of two classes of
limited partnership units, Class A and Class B. Such classes are identical in
all respects, except that each Class A limited partnership unit in the
Partnership shall be convertible into a like number of shares of beneficial
interest of the Trust, at any time at the option of the particular limited
partner, if the Trust determines that such conversion would not cause the Trust
to fail to qualify as a REIT. As of July 31, 2000, a total of 1,676,835 Class A
limited partnership units were issued and outstanding. Additionally a total of
5,226,364 Class B limited partnership units were outstanding to Wirth and his
affiliates, in lieu of the issuance of Class A limited partnership units. If all
of the Class A and B limited partnership units were to be converted, the limited
partners in the Partnership would receive 6,903,199 shares of beneficial
interest of the Trust. The Class B limited partnership units may only become
convertible with the approval of the Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion.
Basis of Presentation
As sole general partner, the Trust exercises unilateral control over
the Partnership. Therefore, the financial statements of the Partnership are
consolidated with the Trust. All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated.
<PAGE>
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended July 31, 2000
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended January 31, 2001. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Trust's Annual Report
on Form 10-K/A as of and for the year ended January 31, 2000.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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 financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. REVENUE RECOGNITION:
Trust revenues are earned monthly as per the Percentage Leases and
recognized when earned.
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE:
SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" eliminates the concept of common
stock equivalents and replaces "primary" and "fully diluted" earnings per share
with "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share. Basic and diluted earnings per
share have been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares
outstanding during the periods.
For the six months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, there were Class A and
Class B partnership units outstanding, which are convertible to shares of
beneficial interest of the Trust. Assuming conversion, the aggregated
weighted-average of these shares of beneficial interest would be 7,257,319 in
the first six months of fiscal 2001 and 7,736,086 in the first six months of
fiscal 2000. These shares are anti-dilutive due to the loses for the first six
months of fiscal year 2001 and are dilutive due to the earnings for the first
six months of fiscal 2000.
For the six months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, 357,600 and 402,400 stock
options, respectively, are not included in the computation of diluted earnings
per share since the option exercise prices were greater than the average market
price of the shares of beneficial interest.
4. ACQUISITIONS:
There were no hotel acquisitions during the first six months of fiscal
2001.
5. CREDIT FACILITY:
On April 16, 1998, the Trust obtained a $12 million Credit Facility
(the "Credit Facility") from Pacific Century Bank to assist it in its funding of
the acquisition and development of additional hotels and for certain other
business purposes. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by first
mortgages on three of the Hotels. The Trust has drawn $11.3 million from its
line of credit, which charges interest at a variable interest rate (LIBOR +
2.75%). By its terms, the Credit Facility will expire in approximately nine
months on April 16, 2001, subject to renewal. The terms of the Credit Facility
require the Trust to maintain a net worth (combined with minority interest) of
not less than $15 million and, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, maintain a
debt to net worth ratio of not greater than 1.75 to 1.0 (renegotiated), a net
operating income
<PAGE>
to debt service relating to encumbered properties ratio of not less than 1.30 to
1.0, and a net operating income to debt service ratio of not less than 1.25 to
1.0. The Trust may prepay the Credit Facility, subject to a prepayment penalty
of $250 plus a yield-maintenance penalty. During the term of the Credit Facility
the Trust may not further encumber its collateral, sell its collateral, change
the nature of its business, or unreasonably suspend its business.
6. PERCENTAGE LEASE AGREEMENTS:
Effective August 1, 1998, the Trust amended its Percentage Leases
modifying the interim calculations of percentage rent and the expiration dates
of the agreements. The Percentage Leases have non-cancelable terms, which expire
on January 31, 2008, subject to earlier termination on the occurrence of certain
contingencies, as defined. The rent due under each Percentage Lease is the
greater of minimum rent, as defined, or percentage rent. Percentage rent
applicable to room and other hotel revenue varies by lease and is calculated on
a quarterly basis by multiplying fixed percentages by the actual quarterly
amounts of such gross revenues in excess of specified threshold amounts. Both
the minimum rent and the revenue thresholds used in computing percentage rents
are subject to annual adjustments beginning January 1, 1999, based on increases
in the United States Consumer Price Index. Percentage rent applicable to food
and beverage revenues is calculated as 5% of such revenue over a minimum
threshold.
Future minimum rentals (ignoring CPI increases) to be received by the Trust from
the Lessee pursuant to the Percentage Leases for each of the next five years and
in total thereafter are as follows:
Fiscal Year
---------
2001 $ 3,425,000
2002 6,850,000
2003 6,850,000
2004 6,850,000
2005 6,850,000
Thereafter 20,550,000
----------------
$ 51,375,000
================
The Trust earned approximately $5.4 million in rent revenue during both the
first six months of fiscal 2001 and 2000, of which approximately $2.0 million
and $1.9 million, respectively, was in excess of base rent. After a review of
projected cash flows to assess the future collectiblity of current rents, the
Trust recorded a provision for uncollectible rent receivables of $919,947 for
the first six months of fiscal 2001.
7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
The Partnership is responsible for all expenses incurred by the Trust
in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.
Wirth is a 9.8% indirect shareholder of the Lessee. At July 31, 2000
the Trust had a $215,000 receivable from the Lessee.
The Initial Hotels were acquired by the Partnership from entities in
which Wirth and his affiliates had substantial ownership interests. Wirth and
his affiliates received 4,017,361 Class B limited partnership units and 647,231
shares of beneficial interest in the Trust in exchange for their interests in
the Initial Hotels. As of July 31, 2000, Wirth and his affiliates held 5,226,364
Class B limited partnership units. As of July 31, 2000 Wirth and his affiliates
held 572,813 shares of beneficial interest in the Trust.
At July 31, 2000, the Trust owned a 47.75% interest in the ten hotels
(the "Hotels") through its sole general partner's interest in the Partnership.
This change in ownership resulted primarily from the following transactions:
<PAGE>
On March 15, 1999, the Trust purchased 1 million additional general
partner units in the Partnership for $2 million. This transaction was
fully funded by Mr. Wirth who provided an unsecured loan to the Trust
at 7% interest payable annually beginning March 15, 2000. The unpaid
principal balance and accrued interest is due on March 15, 2004.
On April 2, 1999, the Partnership made an unsecured loan to the Trust
in the amount of $2.6 million. Annual interest only payments are due on
March 1 of each year and are based on a 7% interest rate. The unpaid
principal balance is due at maturity on April 2, 2006. The Trust used
the proceeds of that loan to purchase 1.3 million general partner units
in the Partnership. The money loaned by the Partnership was generated
by refinancing the Northern Phoenix hotel and borrowing an additional
$1.8 million that was secured by a mortgage on that property. The
original mortgage note was restructured to match the terms of the
refinanced note, which bears interest at 8.25% and matures on April 1,
2014. Monthly principal and interest payments began on April 1, 1999.
As of April 2, 1999, the Trust transferred, at historical cost of
approximately $7 million, its interest in the Scottsdale property to
the Partnership in exchange for 1.6 million general partner units.
The Trust repurchased 348,237 in the first six months of fiscal 2001
and 131,493 in all of fiscal 2000 of the Partnership's Class A units at
a weighted average price per unit of $2.37 and $4.10, respectively. Of
these units 148,237 were retired and 300,000 units were reclassified
from Class A units to General Partner units.
The Trust paid interest on related party notes to James Wirth in the
amount of $143,597 for the six months ended July 31, 2000.
The expenses of the Trust consist primarily of property taxes,
insurance, corporate overhead, interest on mortgage debt and depreciation of the
Hotels. Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is
required to reimburse the Trust for all cash expenses.
Loans payable to related parties consists of funds provided by James F.
Wirth to repurchase Partnership units and to fund working capital and capital
improvement needs and a note payable to Steve Robson to repurchase Partnership
Class A units. The aggregate amounts outstanding were approximately $4.4 million
and $3.0 million as of July 31 and January 31, 2000, respectively. The loans
payable to related parties are as follows:
Wirth made an unsecured loan to the Trust in the amount of $2 million,
bearing interest at 7% per year, effective March 15, 1999. Interest
only payments are due annually beginning March 15, 2000. The unpaid
principal balance and accrued interest is due on March 15, 2004. The
Trust used the proceeds to purchase general partner units in the
Partnership.
Wirth received an unsecured promissory note that consolidated four
outstanding unsecured loans to the Trust totaling $600,000. The loan
amounts consolidated were $200,000, $120,000, $30,000 and $250,000, all
bearing interest at 7% per year with varying maturities. Interest on
these four notes through July 31, 2000 was approximately $41,999 which
was subsequently paid on August 15, 2000 according to the unsecured
consolidated promissory note. The loans were used to fund operations,
to pay down the outstanding loan to the Partnership and to pay
dividends declared October 12, 1999. The unsecured consolidated
promissory note from the Trust in the amount of $600,000, bearing
interest at 7% per year, became effective August 1, 2000. The unpaid

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
GENERAL
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
InnSuites Hospitality Trust condensed consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto and the InnSuites Hotels, Inc. (the "Lessee") unaudited condensed
statements of operations appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report.
The Trust is a real estate investment trust, which owns the sole
general partner interest in the Partnership. In order for the Trust to qualify
as a REIT under the Code, neither the Trust nor the Partnership can operate the
Hotels. Therefore, each of the hotels is leased to, and operated by, the Lessee
pursuant to a Percentage Lease. Each Percentage Lease obligates the Lessee to
pay rent equal to the greater of a minimum rent or a percentage rent based on
the gross revenues of each hotel. The Lessee also holds the franchise agreement
for each hotel. The Lessee is owned 9.8% by InnSuites Innternational Hotels,
Inc., an entity owned by James F. Wirth and his wife. The Trust's principal
source of cash flows is distributions from the Partnership, which are dependent
upon lease payments from the Lessee pursuant to the Percentage Leases. The
Lessee's ability to make payments to the Partnership pursuant to the Percentage
Leases is dependent primarily upon the operations of the Hotels.
The Trust's management may restructure and acquire the Lessee in
January 2001 following the guidelines of the REIT Modernization Act.
At July 31, 2000, the Trust owned a 47.75% interest in the Hotels
through its sole general partner's interest in the Partnership.
The expenses of the Trust consist primarily of property taxes,
insurance, corporate overhead, interest on mortgage debt and depreciation of the
Hotels. Under the terms of its Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is
required to reimburse the Trust for all cash expenses. The Percentage Leases
provide for the payment of base rent and percentage rent. For the six-month
period ended July 31, 2000, base rent
<PAGE>
and percentage rent in the aggregate amount of $5.4 million was earned by the
Trust. The principal determinant of percentage rent is the Lessee's room
revenues at the Hotels, as defined by the Percentage Leases. Therefore,
management believes that a review of the historical performance of the
operations of the Hotels, particularly with respect to occupancy, average daily
rate ("ADR"), calculated as total room revenue divided by number of rooms sold,
and revenue per available room, calculated as total room revenue divided by
number of rooms available (known as "REVPAR"), is appropriate for understanding
revenue from the Percentage Leases. In comparing the first six months of fiscal
2001 and 2000, ADR decreased $0.82 or 1.16% to $69.80 in the first six months of
fiscal 2001 from $70.62 in the first six months of fiscal 2000, primarily due to
a conscious effort to drive additional occupancy by managing down the ADR.
Occupancy increased by 3.5% to 68.1% in the first six months of fiscal 2001 from
64.6% in the first six months of fiscal 2000 primarily as the result of the rate
management activity. This resulted in an increase in REVPAR of $1.92 or 4.21% to
$47.53 in the first six months of fiscal 2001 from $45.61 in the first six
months of fiscal 2000.
The following table shows certain historical financial and other
information for the periods indicated.

No assurance can be given that the trends reflected in this data will

New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 - "REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS" (SAB
No. 101) which was subsequently amended by SAB No. 101A and 101B in March and
June 2000, respectively. These amendments delayed the implementation date of SAB
No. 101 until no later than the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1999. SAB No. 101 provides the staff's views in applying
generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues.
The Trust's management believes that the implementation of SAB No. 101 will not
have a material effect on the financial statements.
Results of Operations of the Trust for the six months ended July 31, 2000
compared to the six months ended July 31, 1999
For the six months ended July 31, 2000, the Trust had revenues of
approximately $5.4 million compared to a similar amount for the six months ended
July 31, 1999. Total expenses increased approximately $149,000 or 2.9% primarily
due to a combination of the reduction in variable expenses by approximately
$39,000 or 1.8% and an increase in fixed expenses by approximately $188,000 or
6.4%. Variable expenses are general and administrative costs, as well as real
estate and personal property taxes, property and casualty insurance and ground
rent. Fixed expenses are depreciation and amortization and interest expense.
Real estate depreciation for the six months ended July 31, 2000
compared to the six months ended July 31, 1999 increased approximately $74,000
or 5.8% to approximately $1,351,000 from approximately $1,277,000, respectively.
The increase was primarily due to an increase in capitalized refurbishment in
the periods after July 31, 1999.
Real estate and personal property taxes, insurance and ground rent
increased approximately $36,000 or 5.6% to approximately $680,000 from
approximately $644,000 in comparing the six months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The increase was primarily due to increased property tax
assessments made by local and state governments on our San Diego and Tucson
Oracle properties.
General and administrative expenses include overhead charges for
management, accounting, shareholder and legal services for the Trust. In
comparing general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 31,
2000 and 1999, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately
$75,000 or 5.1% to approximately $1,408,000 from approximately $1,483,000,
respectively. The decrease of approximately $75,000 was primarily due to a
combination of the final settlement of accounting and legal charges of
approximately $300,000 associated with the Trust's closing of the Cleveland
office and the write off of approximately
<PAGE>
$575,000 for a withdrawn public offering in the six months ended July 31, 1999
and the provisions for uncollectible rent in the six months ended July 31, 2000
of approximately $920,000.
Total interest expense increased approximately $110,000 or 6.9% to
approximately $1,720,000 from approximately $1,610,000 in comparing the six
months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Interest on mortgage notes
payable increased approximately $66,000 or 6.3% to approximately $1,106,000 from
approximately $1,040,000 in comparing the six months ended July 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively. The increase was primarily due to net additional borrowings
of approximately $2.3 million during fiscal 2000 for a loan modification
relating to the Northern Phoenix property and the refinancing of the San Diego
property. Interest on notes payable to related parties increased approximately
$16,000 or 18.2% to approximately $101,000 from approximately $85,000 due to
additional loans from Wirth during the second half of fiscal 2000. Interest on
notes payable to banks increased approximately $29,000 or 6.0% to approximately
$513,000 from approximately $484,000 in comparing the six months ended July 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase was primarily due to a slight increase
in the variable rate paid on the $12 million credit facility.
Amortization of loan fees was approximately $48,000 for the six months
ended July 31, 2000.
Results of Operations of the Trust for the three months ended July 31, 2000
compared to the three months ended July 31, 1999
For the three months ended July 31, 2000, the Trust had revenues of
approximately $2.1 million compared to a similar amount for the three months
ended July 31, 1999. Total expenses increased approximately $106,000 or 3.8%
primarily due to a combination of an increase in variable expenses by
approximately $42,000 or 3.5% and an increase in fixed expenses by approximately
$64,000 or 4.1%. Variable expenses are general and administrative costs, as well
as real estate and personal property taxes, property and casualty insurance and
ground rent. Fixed expenses are depreciation and amortization and interest
expense.
Real estate depreciation for the three months ended July 31, 2000
compared to the three months ended July 31, 1999 increased approximately $26,000
or 4.0% to approximately $685,000 from approximately $659,000, respectively. The
increase was primarily due to an increase in capitalized refurbishment costs in
fiscal 2001 and the latter half of fiscal 2000.
Real estate and personal property taxes, insurance and ground rent
increased approximately $69,000 or 25.8% to approximately $337,000 from
approximately $268,000 in comparing the three months ended July 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively. The increase was primarily due to increased property tax
assessments made by local and state governments on our San Diego and Tucson
Oracle properties.
General and administrative expenses include overhead charges for
management, accounting, shareholder and legal services for the Trust. In
comparing general and administrative expenses for the quarters ended July 31,
2000 and 1999, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately
$27,000 or 2.8% to approximately $939,000 from approximately $966,000,
respectively. The decrease of approximately $27,000 was primarily due to a
combination of the write off of $575,000 for a withdrawn public offering in the
three months ended July 31, 1999 and the provision of approximately $665,000 for
uncollected rent in the three months ended July 31,2000 partially offset by the
elimination of a complimentary rooms program which reduced expenses by
approximately $135,000 in the three months ended July 31, 2000.
Total interest expense increased approximately $49,000 or 6.0% to
approximately $879,000 from approximately $830,000 in comparing the three months
ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Interest on mortgage notes payable
increased approximately $25,000 or 4.6% to approximately $561,000 from
approximately $536,000 in comparing the three months ended July 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively.
<PAGE>
The increase was primarily due to net additional borrowings of approximately
$2.3 million during fiscal 2000 for a loan modification relating to the Northern
Phoenix property and the refinancing of the San Diego property. Interest on
notes payable to related parties decreased approximately $9,000 or 15% to
approximately $51,000 from approximately $60,000 due to the payoff of loans from
Wirth during the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Interest on notes payable to
banks increased approximately $34,000 or 14.8% to approximately $267,000 from
approximately $233,000 in comparing the three months ended July 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively. The increase was primarily due to a slight increase in the
variable rate paid on the $12 million credit facility.
Amortization of loan fees was approximately $32,000 for the three
months ended July 31, 2000.
Funds from Operations (FFO)
The Trust notes that industry analysts and investors use Funds From
Operations (FFO) as another tool to evaluate and compare equity REITs. The Trust
also believes it is meaningful as an indicator of net income excluding most
non-cash items and provides information about the Trust's cash available for
distributions, debt service and capital expenditures. The Trust follows the
March 1995 interpretation of the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts ("NAREIT") definition of FFO, as amended January 1, 2000, which is
calculated (in the Trust's case) as net income plus depreciation and
amortization, and loss on disposals and extraordinary items, if applicable. FFO
does not represent cash flow from operating activities in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and is not indicative of cash
available to fund all of the Trust's cash needs. FFO should not be considered as
an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure as an indicator of
performance and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows as a
measure of liquidity. In addition, the Trust's FFO may not be comparable to
other companies' FFO due to differing methods of calculating FFO and varying
interpretations of the NAREIT definition.

</TABLE>
FFO increased to approximately $599,000 from approximately $557,000
when comparing the first six months of fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively. The
increase of approximately $42,000 or 7.5% was primarily due to the increased
ownership interest that the Trust has in the Partnership.
Results of Operations of the Innsuites Hotels Inc., the Lessee, for the six
months ended July 31, 2000 compared to the six months ended July 31, 1999
For the six months ended July 31, 2000, the Lessee had total revenues
of approximately $15.6 million compared to approximately $15.5 for the six
months ended July 31, 1999. This slight increase in total revenue was primarily
due to a decrease in room, food and beverage revenue of approximately $49,000
offset by an increase of approximately $86,000 or 18.4% in other revenue.
<PAGE>
Departmental expenses, which include operating expenses for the rooms,
food and beverage, telecommunications, and miscellaneous departments, increased
approximately $163,000 or 3.5% to approximately $4.8 million from approximately
$4.6 million for the six months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This
increase was primarily due to an overall increase in operating expenses in all
departments consistent with the rate of inflation.
Percentage lease expense decreased by approximately $26,000 or less
than 1.0% remaining at approximately $5.4 million for the six month periods
ended July 31, 2000 and 1999. The slight decrease was primarily due to a
decrease in room revenues, which the percentage lease expenses are primarily
based on, for the six months ended July 31, 2000.
Advertising expense for the six months ended July 31, 2000 increased
approximately $36,000 or approximately 3.3%.
Other expenses include general and administrative, maintenance,
hospitality, utility, and insurance expenses. These expenses were approximately
$4.9 million for the six months ended July 31, 2000 compared to approximately
$4.4 million for the six months ended July 31, 1999. The increase of
approximately $510,000 or 11.5% was primarily due to increased general and
administrative expenses of approximately $320,000 and inflationary increases in
utility, hospitality maintenance and insurances expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Trust, through its ownership interest in the Partnership, has its
proportionate share of the benefits and obligations of the Partnership's
ownership interests in the Hotels. The Trust's principal sources of cash to meet
its cash requirements, including distributions to its shareholders, is its share
of the Partnership's cash flow. The Partnership's principal source of revenue is
rent payments under the Percentage Leases. The Lessee's obligations under the
Percentage Leases are unsecured and its ability to make rent payments to the
Partnership under the Percentage Leases, and the Trust's liquidity, including
its ability to make distributions to its shareholders, will depend upon the
ability of the Lessee to generate sufficient cash flow from hotel operations.
For the six months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, the Trust recorded a provision
of approximately $920,000 and $0 for uncollectible receivables, respectively.
These charges reflect the Trust's assessment of the collectibility of its
receivables, which primarily consists of rent receivable from the Lessee, based
on an evaluation of the Lessee's estimated future cash flows. The Trust's
management may restructure and acquire the Lessee in January 2001 following the
guidelines of the REIT Modernization Act.
As of July 31, 2000, the Trust has no commitments for capital
expenditures beyond a 4% reserve for refurbishment and replacements set aside
annually, as described below.
The Trust intends to acquire and develop additional hotels and expects
to incur indebtedness to fund those acquisitions and developments. The Trust may
also incur indebtedness to meet distribution requirements imposed on a REIT
under the Code to the extent that working capital and cash flow from the Trust's
investments are insufficient to make the required distributions. The terms of
the line of credit discussed below permit borrowings for that purpose, but
impose certain limitations on the Trust's ability to engage in other borrowings.
On April 16, 1998, the Trust obtained a $12 million Credit Facility
(the "Credit Facility") from Pacific Century Bank to assist it in its funding of
the acquisition and development of additional hotels and for certain other
business purposes. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by first
mortgages on three of the Hotels. The Trust has drawn $11.3 million from its
line of credit, which charges interest at a variable interest rate. By its
terms, the Credit Facility will expire in approximately nine months on April 16,
2001, subject to renewal. The terms of the Credit Facility require the Trust to
maintain a net worth (combined with minority interest) of not less than $15
million and, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, maintain a debt to net worth
ratio of not greater than 1.75 to 1.0 (renegotiated), a net operating income to
debt service relating to encumbered properties ratio of not less than 1.30 to
1.0, and a net operating income to debt
<PAGE>
service ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0. The Trust may prepay the Credit
Facility, subject to a prepayment penalty of $250 plus a yield-maintenance
penalty. During the term of the Credit Facility the Trust may not further
encumber its collateral, sell its collateral, change the nature of its business,
or unreasonably suspend its business.
The Trust may seek to increase the amount of its Credit Facility,
negotiate additional credit facilities, or issue debt instruments. Any debt
incurred 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 be
subject to such other terms as the Trust considers prudent.
The Trust will acquire or develop additional hotels only as suitable
opportunities arise, and the Trust will not undertake acquisition or
redevelopment of properties unless adequate sources of financing are available.
Funds for future acquisitions or development of hotels are expected to be
derived, in whole or in part, from borrowings under the Credit Facility or other
borrowings or from the proceeds of additional issuances of shares of beneficial
interest or other securities. However, there can be no assurance that the Trust
will successfully acquire or develop additional hotels.
Subsequent to July 31, 2000, on August 30, 2000, Albuquerque Suite
Hospitality, LLC, a 100% owned subsidiary of the Partnership, purchased the 122
suite Albuquerque Best Western Airport Inn located in Albuquerque, New Mexico
for $2.1 million. The funds utilized for the purchase price were secured by a
first mortgage in the amount of $1,575,000 and the remaining amount was loaned
by Wirth.
The Partnership continues to contribute to a Capital Expenditures Fund
(the "Fund") from the rent paid under the Percentage Leases, an amount equal to
4% of the Lessee's revenues from operation of the Hotels. The Fund is intended
to be used for capital improvements to the Hotels and refurbishment and
replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment, in addition to other uses of
amounts in the Fund considered appropriate from time to time. The Partnership
anticipates making similar arrangements with respect to future hotels that it
may acquire or develop. During the six months ended July 31, 2000, the Hotels
spent approximately $790,000 for capital expenditures. The Trust considers the
majority of these improvements to be revenue-producing. Therefore, these amounts
have been capitalized and are being depreciated over their estimated useful
lives. The Hotels (Lessee) also spent $899,604 during the six months ended July
31, 2000 on repairs and maintenance and these amounts have been charged to
expense as incurred.
INFLATION
The Trust's revenues initially will be based on the Percentage Leases
which will result in changes in the Trust's revenues based on changes in the
underlying Hotel revenues. Therefore, the Trust initially will be relying
entirely on the performance of the Hotels and the Lessee's ability to increase
revenues to keep pace with inflation. Operators of hotels in general, and the
Lessee in particular, can change room rates quickly, but competitive pressures
may limit the Lessee's ability to raise rates faster than inflation.
The Trust's largest fixed expense is the depreciation of the investment
in Hotel properties. The Trust's variable expenses, which are subject to
inflation, represented approximately 38.6% of revenues for the six months ended
July 31, 2000. These variable expenses (general and administrative costs, as
well as real estate and personal property taxes, property and casualty insurance
and ground rent) are expected to grow with the general rate of inflation.
SEASONALITY
The Hotels' operations historically have been seasonal. The six
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 six southern Arizona
hotels. This seasonality pattern can be expected to cause fluctuations in the
Trust's quarterly lease revenue
<PAGE>
under the Percentage Leases. The hotels located in northern Arizona and
California 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 hotel business. To the extent that cash flow from
operations is insufficient during any quarter, because of temporary or seasonal
fluctuations in lease revenue, the Trust may utilize other cash on hand or
borrowings to make distributions to its shareholders. No assurance can be given
that the Trust will make distributions in the future.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this Form 10-Q constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Trust intends that such
forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created by such Acts.
Those forward-looking statements include statements regarding the intent, belief
or current expectations of the Trust, its Trustees or its officers in respect of
(i) the declaration or payment of dividends; (ii) the leasing, management or
operation of the Hotels; (iii) the adequacy of reserves for renovation and
refurbishment; (iv) the Trust's financing plans; (v) the Trust's position
regarding investments, acquisitions, developments, financings, conflicts of
interest and other matters; (vi) the Trust's continued qualification as a REIT;
and (vii) trends affecting the Trust's or any Hotel's financial condition or
results of operations. The words and phrases "looking ahead", "we are
confident", "should be", "will be", "predicted", "believe", expect",
"anticipate" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements reflect the Trust's current views in
respect of future events and financial performance, but are subject to many
uncertainties and factors relating to the operations and business environment of
the Hotels which may cause the actual results of the Trust to differ materially
from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Examples of such uncertainties include, but are not limited to: fluctuations in
hotel occupancy rates; changes in room rental rates which may be charged by the
Lessee in response to market rental rate changes or otherwise; interest rate
fluctuations; changes in federal income tax laws and regulations; competition;
any changes in the Trust's financial condition or operating results due to
acquisitions or dispositions of hotel properties; real estate and hospitality
market conditions; hospitality industry factors; and local or national economic
and business conditions, including, without limitation, conditions which may
affect public securities markets generally, the hospitality industry, or the
markets in which the Trust operates or will operate. The Trust does not
undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking
statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Pursuant to Section 21E(b)(2)(E) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
qualifications set forth hereinabove are inapplicable to any forward-looking
statements in this Form 10-Q relating to the operations of the Partnership.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Trust is exposed to interest rate risk primarily as a result of its
mortgage notes payable, notes payable to banks and other notes payable. Proceeds
from these loans were used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures and
expand the Trust's real estate investment portfolio and operations. The Trust's
interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate
changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To
achieve its objectives, the Trust borrows using fixed rate debt, when possible.
There have been no significant changes in the Trust's debt structure during the
six months ended July 31, 2000.
