INNSUITES HOSPITALITY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF APRIL 30, 2018 AND JANUARY 31, 2018

AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2018 AND 2017

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

As of April 30, 2018, InnSuites Hospitality Trust (the “Trust”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a publicly traded company with hotels IHT owns, hotels IHT manages, software IHT develops, software IHT sells, and online loyalty reward-based consumer travel services. The Trust and its shareholders owns interests directly in and through a partnership interest, three hotels with an aggregate of 424 suites in Arizona and New Mexico (the “Hotels”) operated under the federally trademarked name “InnSuites Hotels” or “InnSuites”. The Trust and its shareholders owns interests directly in IBC Hospitality Technologies and IVHTravel.com.

Hotel Operations:

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 our Tucson, Arizona hotel and our hotel located in Albuquerque, New Mexico to be moderate or limited service establishments. IHT’s owned properties are limited service hotels. IHT provides management services on a wide variety of hotels.

The Trust is the sole general partner of RRF Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and owned a 74.90% and 74.80% interest in the Partnership as of April 30, 2018 and January 31, 2018, respectively. The Trust’s weighted average ownership for the periods ended April 30, 2018 and 2017 was 74.80% and 72.11%. As of April 30, 2018, the Partnership owned a 51.01% interest in an InnSuites® hotel located in Tucson, Arizona. The Trust owns a direct 12.79% interest in a Yuma, Arizona hotel property, and a direct 21.15% interest in an InnSuites^® hotel located in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Under certain management agreements, InnSuites Hotels Inc., 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.

IBC Hospitality Technologies:

InnDependent Boutique Collection (“IBC”, “IBC Hotels”, “IBC Hospitality” or “IBC Hospitality Technologies”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of InnSuites Hospitality Trust, has a network of approximately 2,000 unrelated hospitality properties with proprietary software exclusive marketing distribution and services as well as brand-like cost savings solutions to independent boutique hotels and alternative lodging (serviced apartments, B&B’s, villas and multi-unit ownership/management of luxury private residences). Additionally, IBC provides software and solutions to a variety of branded hotels looking to increase direct bookings and receive full guest information IBC’s patent-pending loyalty program allows consumers to book highly discounted travel when logged in and shopping for lodging on www.ivhtravel.com. IVHTravel.com and its proprietary booking engine has over 1.1 million lodging choices globally and provides add-on capability for activities, rental car and cancellation protection with airfare on its roadmap in 2019.

Our technology division is broken into two business lines, International Vacation Hotels Travel (“IVH”) and IBC Hospitality Technologies. Each of these divisions customer base is very different, and the services provided to each customer base ranges dramatically.

Intellectual Property

In order to provide our business to business solutions thru IBC and our business to consumer solutions thru IVH, we use software, business processes and proprietary information to carry out our business. These assets including related intellectual property rights, copyrights and website domains are significant assets of our business. InnSuites Hospitality Trust relies on the combination of patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect these assets and we license software and other intellectual property both to and from third parties. Intellectual property assets are considered a valuable part of our business and have become a value-add portion of the services we provide. We consider our intellectual property assets a valuable asset to our business and we renew appropriate registrations and regularly monitor potential infringements of these assets.

The Trust has received a proposed purchase and sale agreement for IBC. The agreement was received the week of June 11, 2018 from the Obasa Group of Companies, a Canadian entity. The agreement would provide an initial capital infusion, with the balance of the purchase price to be carried by the seller (IHT), over a 60-month period with interest.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles in accordance with GAAP, and include all assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Trust and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. 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 financial statements of the Partnership and the entities listed below are consolidated with the Trust, and all significant 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 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 April 30, 2018 and January 31, 2018, 218,374 and 250,093 Class A Partnership units were issued and outstanding, representing 1.72% and 1.95% of the total Partnership units, respectively. Additionally, as of April 30, 2018 and January 31, 2018, 2,974,038 Class B Partnership units were outstanding to James Wirth, the Trust’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Wirth’s affiliates. If all of the Class A and B Partnership units were converted on April 30, 2018 and January 31, 2018, the limited partners in the Partnership would receive 3,192,412 and 3,314,131 Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust. As of April 30, 2018 and January 31, 2018, the Trust owns 9,527,448 general partner units in the Partnership, representing 74.90% and 74.80% of the total Partnership units, respectively.

LIQUIDITY

As of April 30, 2018, the Trust had a related party Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note with an amount receivable of approximately $811,000. 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 $1,000,000, which is available through December 31, 2018. As of June 15, 2018, the outstanding net balance receivable on the Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note was $811,000.

As of January 31, 2018, the Trust had an Advance to Affiliate credit facilities with an aggregate maximum borrowing capacity of $1,000,000, which is available through June 30, 2018. As of April 30, 2018, the Trust had an amount receivable of the Advances to Affiliate credit facility of approximately $840,000. As of June 15, 2018, the amount receivable from the Advance to Affiliate credit facility was approximately $840,000.

With approximately $5,557,000 of cash and short term investments, as of April 30, 2018, the availability of a $1,000,000 related party Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note, and the availability of the combined $1,000,000 Advance to Affiliate credit facilities, we believe that we 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; however, such transactions may not be available on terms that are favorable to us, or at all

There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining extensions, refinancing debt or raising additional or replacement funds, or that these funds may be available 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

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2018, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 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, 2018, 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, 2018.

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 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 and Yuma Hospitality Properties LLLP have been determined to be variable interest entities with the Partnership as the primary beneficiary (see Note 7 – “Variable Interest Entity”). Therefore, the financial statements of Albuquerque Suite Hospitality, LLC and Yuma Hospitality Properties, LLP 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 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 the southern Arizona hotels. This seasonality pattern can be expected to cause fluctuations in the Trust’s quarterly revenues. The hotel located in 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 March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” a new standard which simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions. This guidance requires that excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the Consolidated Statements of Operations rather than additional paid-in capital. Additionally, the excess tax benefits will be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity, rather than a financing activity, on the Statement of Cash Flows. Further, the update allows an entity to make a policy election to recognize forfeitures as they occur or estimate the number of awards expected to be forfeited. It will be effective for us beginning in February 2018 and should be applied prospectively, with certain cumulative effect adjustments. Early adoption is permitted. The Trust has adopted this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and we believe no material impact exists at this time.

● In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Trust is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on the Trust’s consolidated financial statements.

● In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) No. 2014-09. “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This new standard will replace the existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP. The core principle of the ASU is the recognition of revenue for the transfer of goods and services equal to the amount an entity expects to receive for those goods and services. This ASU requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and estimates and changes in those estimates. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contacts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date” that delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to February 1, 2018, as the Trust’s annual reporting period is after December 15, 2017.

The Trust has evaluated the impact of the new standard on its financial results based on an inventory of the Trust’s current contacts with customers. The Trust has obtained an understanding of the new standard and starting February 1, 2018, the Trust changed its accounting policy to record prepaid reservations on a net basis. Upon adoption of the new standard, for the Trust there is no effect on retained earnings.

The Trust will continue to evaluate the impact of ASU No. 2014-09 on our financial results with the adoption of the standard on February 1, 2018, including its internal processes and control environment for new requirements under the new standard. The standard allows for both retrospective and of adoption. The Trust has adopted the modified retrospective method.

This ASU has become effective for the Trust beginning interim period February 1, 2018. Based on our evaluation of the new revenue recognition standard the Trust presents revenue on a net basis for the period ending April 30, 2018.

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 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 recoverability of long-lived assets and the fair values of the long-lived assets.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND HOTEL PROPERTIES

Furniture, fixtures, building improvements and hotel properties are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated lives ranging up to 40 years for buildings and 3 to 10 years for furniture and equipment.

Management applies guidance ASC 360-10-35, to determine when it is required to test an asset for recoverability of its carrying value and whether an impairment exists. Under ASC 360-10-35, the Trust is required to test a long-lived asset for impairment when there is an indicator of impairment. Impairment indicators may include, but are not limited to, a drop in the performance of a long-lived asset, a decline in the hospitality industry or a decline in the economy. If an indicator of potential impairment is present, then an assessment is performed of whether the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows over its estimated remaining life.

If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows over the asset’s estimated remaining life are greater than the asset’s carrying value, no impairment is recognized; however, if the carrying value of the asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, then the Trust would recognize an impairment expense to the extent the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, if any. The estimated future cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about expected future operating performance, and may differ from actual cash flows. Long-lived assets evaluated for impairment are analyzed on a property-specific basis independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. Evaluation of future cash flows is based on historical experience and other factors, including certain economic conditions and committed future bookings. Management impaired these assets during the fiscal year 2018, and has determined that no further impairment is required of long-lived assets for the fiscal period ending April 30, 2018.

Management applies guidance ASC 350-40 Intangibles – Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, to determine whether it should capitalize internal use software developed for our IBC Technologies division. Under ASC 350-40, Management determined that some of the internal-use software can possible be capitalized during the application development stage of development. The application development stage of development includes software configuration, software interfaces and coding. Management has capitalized internally developed software that meets the application development stage of development. Internally developed software is capitalized over the estimated useful life, which is 5 years.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

ASU 2014-09 (Topic 606), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” is effective for reporting period after January 1, 2018. ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue through the application of a five-step model, which includes identification of the contract, identification of the performance obligations, determination of the transaction price, allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognition of revenue as the entity satisfies the performance obligations.

Hotel and Operations:

Revenues are primarily derived from the following sources and are recognized as services are rendered and when collectability is reasonably assured. Amounts received in advance of revenue recognition are considered deferred liabilities.

Revenues primarily consist of room rentals, food and beverage sales, management and trademark fees and other miscellaneous revenues from our properties. Revenues are recorded when rooms are occupied and when food and beverage sales are delivered. Management and trademark fees from non-affiliated hotels include a monthly accounting fee and a percentage of hotel room revenues for managing the daily operations of the Hotels and the one hotel owned by affiliates of Mr. Wirth.

We are required to collect certain taxes and fees from customers on behalf of government agencies and remit these back to the applicable governmental agencies on a periodic basis. We have a legal obligation to act as a collection agent. We do not retain these taxes and fees and, therefore, they are not included in revenues. We record a liability when the amounts are collected and relieve the liability when payments are made to the applicable taxing authority or other appropriate governmental agency.

IBC Technologies Division

This ASU will have become effective for the Trust beginning interim period February 1, 2018. Based on our evaluation of the new revenue recognition standard the Trust presents revenue on a net basis for the period ending April 30, 2018.

(LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE

Basic and diluted (loss) 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 3,192,412 Shares of the Beneficial Interest, as discussed in Note 1.

For the periods ended April 30, 2018 and 2017, there were Class A and Class B Partnership units outstanding, which are convertible into Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust. Assuming conversion at the beginning of each period, the aggregate weighted-average of these Shares of Beneficial Interest would have been 3,192,412 and 3,684,069 in addition to the basic shares outstanding for the periods ended April 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These Shares of Beneficial Interest issuable upon conversion of the Class A and Class B Partnership units were dilutive during the periods ended April 30, 2018 and 2017, and are excluded in the calculation of diluted loss per share for these periods as their effected would be anti-dilutive.

SEGMENT REPORTING

The Trust determined that its operations are comprised of two reportable segments, a Hotel Operations & Corporate Overhead segment that has ownership interest in three hotel properties with an aggregate of 424 suites in Arizona and New Mexico, and the IBC Hospitality segment serving 2,000 unrelated hotel properties. The Trust has a concentration of assets in the southwest United States and the southern Arizona market. Historical financial information presented in this Form 10-K reflects this change. On an overall basis, the Trust has elected to only put the costs directly attributable to the IBC Hospitality segment in that segment. Included in these costs are salaries, employee taxes and benefits, sales, marketing and technology development costs.

IBC Hotels, LLC was formed during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014. IBC Hotels, LLC charges a 10% - 20% booking fee which, we believe, increases the independent hotel net profits through lower guest acquisition costs and full guest information for lower lifetime average acquisition cost. Competitors of IBC Hotels can charge anywhere from a 15% to 50% booking fee. InnDependent InnCentives, IBC’s loyalty program, allows hoteliers to benefit from guests who frequently stay at IBC independent hotels. We are actively looking for investors to purchase all or part of IBC Hotels and we are looking to continue to expand IBC Hotels in the future as we concentrate our sales and marketing efforts towards consumers, but can provide no assurance that we will be successful.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), the Trust’s CEO, Mr. Wirth, does not see value in allocating costs for items not directly attributable to the IBC Hospitality segment for several reasons. The first is that the Trust’s base business is the Hotel Operations & Corporate Overhead segment, and the majority of the expenses of the Trust would continue even if the Trust was not in the reservation business. If the Trust were to allocate general expenses to the reservation business based on some allocation method (e.g., on sales), it would not improve the value of segment reporting, but it would only serve to make the results of the Hotel Operations & Corporate Overhead segment look better and give investors an unfounded sense of the profitability of the Hotel Operations & Corporate Overhead segment without the IBC Hospitality segment. The CODM wants to understand the true investment in the reservation business and that result is delivered by allocating only costs directly associated with the IBC Hospitality segment. By retaining the remainder of costs not associated with the IBC Hospitality segment in the Hotel Operations & Corporate Overhead segment, the Trust is able to compare the Hotel Operations & Corporate Overhead segment to historical figures where the bulk of the business was only that segment of operations to gauge relative efficiency of the Hotel Operations & Corporate Overhead segment as compared to historical norms.

The Trust has chosen to focus its hotel investments in the southwest region of the United States. The CODM does not review assets by geographical region; therefore, no income statement or balance sheet information by geographical region is provided.

NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

Non-controlling interest in the Trust represents the limited partners’ proportionate share of the capital and earnings of the Partnership. Income or loss is allocated to the non-controlling interest based on a weighted average ownership percentage in the entities throughout the period, and capital is allocated based on the ownership percentage at year-end. Any difference between the weighted average and point-in-time allocations is presented as a reallocation of non-controlling interest as a component of shareholders’ equity.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

For disclosure purposes, fair value is determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The fair value framework specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques, which is based on whether the inputs into the valuation technique are observable or unobservable. The fair value hierarchy levels are as follows:

	●	Level 1 – Valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are unadjusted quoted prices from active markets for assets or liabilities that are identical to the assets or liabilities being measured.

	●	Level 2 – Valuation techniques in which significant inputs include quoted prices from active markets for assets or liabilities that are similar to the assets or liabilities being measured and / or quoted prices for assets or liabilities that are identical or similar to the assets or liabilities being measured from markets that are not active. Also, model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets are level 2 valuation techniques.

	●	Level 3 – Valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are valuation technique inputs that reflect a company’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Trust has $2 million invested in Level 1 short-term bonds during the period ended April 30, 2018, and had no other assets or liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis and had no fair value re-measurements during the period ended April 30, 2017.

Due to their short maturities, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value. The fair value of mortgage notes payable, notes payable to banks and notes and advances payable to related parties is estimated by using the current rates which would be available for similar loans having the same remaining maturities and are based on level 3 inputs.

3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

TRUSTEE STOCK COMPENSATION

For the three months ended April 30, 2018, the Trust recognized expenses of $8,100 related to stock-based compensation. The Trust issued 18,000 restricted shares with a total market value of $32,400 in the first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2019 as compensation to its three outside Trustees for fiscal year 2019. On a monthly basis through January 31, 2019, these shares vest at a rate of approximately 500 shares for each outside Trustee.

6. SALE OF OWNERSHIP INTERESTS IN SUBSIDIARIES

The Trust has sold non-controlling interests in certain subsidiaries, including Albuquerque Suite Hospitality, LLC (the “Albuquerque entity”), Tucson Hospitality Properties, LP (the “Tucson entity”), Ontario Hospitality Properties, LP (the “Ontario entity”), and Yuma Hospitality Properties, Limited Partnership (the “Yuma entity”), which sales are described in detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on May 1, 2017 with the Securities and Exchange Commissions. Generally, interests have sold for $10,000 per unit with a two-unit minimum subscription. The Trust maintains at least 50.1% of the units in one of the entities and intends to maintain this minimum ownership percentage. Generally, the units in the each of the entities are allocated to three classes with differing cumulative discretionary priority distribution rights through a certain time period. 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. Priority distributions of $700 per unit per year are cumulative until a certain date; however, after that date, generally Class A unit holders continue to hold a preference on distributions over Class B and Class C unit holders. As of February 1, 2017, the Trust no longer accrues for these distributions as the preference period generally has expired.

On February 15, 2017, the Trust and Partnership entered into a restructuring agreement with Rare Earth Financial, LLC (“REF”) to allow for the sale of non-controlling partnership units in Albuquerque Suite Hospitality LLC (“Albuquerque”) for $10,000 per unit, which operates the Best Western InnSuites Albuquerque Hotel and Suites Airport hotel property, a 100 unit hotel in Albuquerque, New Mexico (the “Property”). REF and IHT are restructuring the Albuquerque Membership Interest by creating 250 additional Class A membership interests from General Member majority-owned to accredited investor member-owned. In the event of sale of 250 Class A Interests, total interests outstanding will change from 550 to 600 with Class A, Class B and Class C Limited Liability Company Interests (referred to collectively as “Interests”) restructured with IHT selling approximately 200 Class B Interests to accredited investors as Class A Interest. REF, as a General Partner of Yuma, will coordinate the offering and sale of Class A Interests to qualified third parties. REF and other REF Affiliates may purchase Interests under the offering. This restructuring is part of the Trust’s Equity Enhancement Plan to comply with Section 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide.

On February 15, 2017, the Trust and Partnership entered into a restructuring agreement with Rare Earth to allow for the sale of non-controlling partnership units in the Yuma entity for $10,000 per unit. Rare Earth and the Trust are restructuring the Yuma Partnership Interest from General Partner majority-owned to accredited investor majority-owned. Total interests outstanding will remain unchanged at 800 with Class A, Class B and Class C Limited Liability Limited Partnership Interests (referred to collectively as “Interests”) restructured with the Yuma entity purchasing 300 existing IHT Class B Interests and reissuing 300 Class A units to accredited investors as Class A Interests causing the Yuma entity to offer and sell up to approximately 300 Class A (2017 series) Interests. Rare Earth, as a General Partner of the Yuma entity, will coordinate the offering and sale of Class A Interests to qualified third parties. Rare Earth and other Rare Earth affiliates may purchase Interests under the offering. This restructuring is part of the Trust’s Equity Enhancement Plan to comply with Section 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide.

During the three months ended April 30, 2018, there were 13.50 Class A units sold for $135,000 ($10,000/unit), of which 13.50 came from the Trust’s Class B units, and no C units of the Albuquerque entity sold. As of April 30, 2018 and January 31, 2018, the Trust held a 20.58% and 22.83% ownership interest, or 123.50 and 137 Class B units, in the Albuquerque entity, Mr. Wirth and his affiliates held a 0.17% interest, or 1 Class C unit, and other third parties held a 79.25% interest, or 475.50 Class A units. As of February 1, 2017, the Trust no longer accrues for these distributions as the preference period generally has expired.

During the three months ended April 30, 2018, there were no Class A, B or C units of the Tucson entity sold. As of April 30, 2018 and January 31, 2018, the Partnership held a 51.01% ownership interest, or 404 Class B units, in the Tucson entity, Mr. Wirth and his affiliates held a 0.38% interest, or 3 Class C units, and other parties held a 48.6% interest, or 385 Class A units. As of February 1, 2017, the Trust no longer accrues for these distributions as the preference period generally has expired.

During the three months ended April 30, 2018, there were no Class A, B or C units of the Yuma entity sold. As of April 30, 2018, the Trust held a 12.79% ownership interest, or 102.30 Class B units, in the Yuma entity, Mr. Wirth and his affiliates held a 0.63% interest, or 5 Class C units, and other parties held a 86.59% interest, or 692.70 Class A units. As of February 1, 2017, the Trust no longer accrues for these distributions as the preference period generally has expired. During the three months ended April 30, 2018, the priority distributions were paid for the three months ended January 31, 2018, and no priority distributions were accrued for the three months ended April 30, 2018.

7. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Management evaluates the Trust’s explicit and implicit variable interests to determine if they have any variable interests in VIEs. Variable interests are contractual, ownership, or other pecuniary interests in an entity whose value changes with changes in the fair value of the entity’s net assets, exclusive of variable interests. Explicit variable interests are those which directly absorb the variability of a VIE and can include contractual interests such as loans or guarantees as well as equity investments. An implicit variable interest acts the same as an explicit variable interest except it involves the absorbing of variability indirectly, such as through related party arrangements or implicit guarantees. The analysis includes consideration of the design of the entity, its organizational structure, including decision making ability over the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. GAAP requires a reporting entity to consolidate a VIE when the reporting entity has a variable interest, or combination of variable interest, that provides it with a controlling financial interest in the VIE. The entity that consolidates a VIE is referred to as the primary beneficiary of that VIE.

The Partnership has determined that the Yuma and Albuquerque entities are variable interest entities with the Partnership as the primary beneficiary with the ability to exercise control, as determined under the guidance of ASC Topic 810-10-25. In its determination, management considered the following qualitative and quantitative factors:

a) The Partnership, Trust and their related parties, which share common ownership and management, have guaranteed material financial obligations of the Yuma entity and Albuquerque, including its mortgage note payable and distribution obligations, which based on the capital structure of the Yuma entity, management believes could potentially be significant.

b) The Partnership, Trust and their related parties have maintained, as a group, a controlling ownership interest in the Albuquerque entity and Yuma, with the largest ownership belonging to the Partnership.

c) The Partnership, Trust and their related parties have maintained control over the decisions which most impact the financial performance of the Yuma entity, including providing the personnel to operate the property on a daily basis.

During the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2017, neither the Trust nor the Partnership have provided any implicit or explicit financial support for which they were not previously contracted. Both the Partnership and the Trust provided mortgage loan guarantees which allowed our properties to obtain new financing as needed.

8. STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS, SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES

The Trust paid $177,313 and $205,036 in cash for interest for the three months ended April 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively for continuing operations. No cash was paid for taxes for the three months ended April 30, 2018 and 2017.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Albuquerque Hotel is subject to a non-cancelable ground lease that expires in 2058. Total expense associated with the non-cancelable ground lease for the three months ended April 30, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $38,000 and $37,000, respectively.

On August 4, 2017, the Trust entered into a five year office lease agreement with Northpoint Properties for a commercial office lease at 1730 E Northern Ave, Suite 122, Phoenix, Arizona 85020 commencing on September 1, 2017. Base monthly rent of $4,100 increases 6% on a yearly basis. No rent is due for October 2018 and October 2022 months. The Trust also agreed to pay electricity and applicable sales tax. The office lease agreement provides early termination with a 90-day notification with an early termination fee of $12,000, $8,000, $6,000, $4,000 and $2,000 for years 1 – 5 of the lease term, respectively.

Future minimum lease payments under the non-cancelable ground leases are as follows:

Fiscal Year Ending
Remainder of FY 2019			123,507
FY 2020			167,225
FY 2021			170,448
FY 2022			173,864
FY 2023			144,565
Thereafter			5,473,313
Total			6,252,922

The Trust is obligated under a loan agreement relating to the Tucson Oracle property to deposit 4% of the individual hotel’s room revenue into an escrow account to be used for capital expenditures. The escrow funds applicable to the Tucson Oracle property for which a mortgage lender escrow exists are not reported on the Trust’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Restricted Cash” as the balance was $0 as of April 30, 2018 and January 31, 2018.

InnSuites Hotels has entered into membership agreements with Best Western International, Inc. (“Best Western”) with respect to all three of the Hotels. In exchange for use of the Best Western name, trademark and reservation system, the participating Hotels pay fees to Best Western based on reservations received through the use of the Best Western reservation system and the number of available suites at the participating Hotels. The agreements with Best Western have no specific expiration terms and may be cancelled by either party. Best Western requires that the participating hotels meet certain requirements for room quality, and the Hotels are subject to removal from its reservation system if these requirements are not met. The Hotels with third-party membership agreements received significant reservations through the Best Western reservation system. Under these arrangements, fees paid for membership fees and reservations were approximately $63,000 and $62,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The nature of the operations of the Hotels exposes them in most cases to risks of claims and litigation in the normal course of their business. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be determined and is covered by insurance, management does not expect that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Trust.

The Trust is involved from time to time in various other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Trust’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Indemnification:

We have entered into indemnification agreements with all of our executive officers and Trustees. The agreements provide for indemnification against all liabilities and expenses reasonably incurred by an officer or Trustee in connection with the defense or disposition of any suit or other proceeding, in which he or she may be involved or with which he or she may be threatened, while in office or thereafter, because of his or her position at the Trust. There is no indemnification for any matter as to which an officer or Trustee is adjudicated to have acted in bad faith, with willful misconduct or reckless disregard of his or her duties, with gross negligence, or not in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in our best interests. These agreements require us, among other things, to indemnify the director or officer against specified expenses and liabilities, such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlements, paid by the individual in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of the individual’s status or service as our director or officer, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct or conduct that is knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, and to advance expenses incurred by the individual in connection with any proceeding against the individual with respect to which the individual may be entitled to indemnification by us. We may advance payments in connection with indemnification under the agreements. The level of indemnification is to the full extent of the net equity based on appraised and/or market value of the Trust. Historically, we have not incurred any payments for these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

10. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Trust determined that its reportable segments are the Hotel Operations & Corporate Overhead and IBC Hospitality segments. Reportable segments are determined based on discrete financial information reviewed by the Trust’s CODM. The Trust organizes and reviews operations based on products and services, and currently there are no operating segments that are aggregated.

Information relative to the Trust’s reportable segments for operations, for which there is no intersegment revenues, is as follows:

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Trust has received a proposed purchase and sale agreement for IBC. The agreement was received the week of June 11, 2018 from the Obasa Group of Companies, a Canadian entity. The agreement would provide initial capital infusion, with the balance of the purchase price to be carried by the seller (IHT), over a 60-month period with interest.

On June 1, 2018 the Trust entered into a Note Payable with an investor for $177,000. The Note Payable has a maturity date of May 31, 2021 and is related to the sale of 60,000 shares of IHT Stock. The note payable is due in equal payments with 7% interest per annum. No prepayment penalty exists.

We currently have our Yuma, Arizona property listed with a specific hotel sale broker. An offering memorandum was issued the week of June 11, 2018, and was widely circulated.

The Trust declared a dividend on June 19, 2018, of $0.01 per share payable on July 31, 2018 to shareholders of record as of July 16, 2018, continuing an uninterrupted 48-year history of annual dividends.

As reported in IHT’s current report on form 8-K filed June 15, 2018, the IHT Board elected James Wirth founder, Chairman and CEO to the additional position of IHT President to further streamline operations. In addition, the Board promoted Craig Miller, Director of Finance, to the position of CFO.

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 fiscal year ended January 31, 2018.

OVERVIEW

We are engaged in the ownership, operation and support of hotel properties. At April 30, 2018, the Trust had three moderate and full-service hotels with 424 hotel suites. All of our Hotels are branded through membership agreements with Best Western. All Hotels are trademarked as InnSuites Hotels. We are also involved in various operations incidental to the operation of hotels, such as the operation of restaurants, meeting/banquet room rentals, and the operation of a reservation system.

Our operations consist of two reportable segments, hotel ownership, which derives its revenue from the operation of the Hotels and technology reservation services for approximately 2,000 unrelated hotel properties. We provide management services for the Hotels and a hotel owned by affiliates of James F. Wirth, the Trust’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. One of the affiliate hotels owned by James F. Wirth was sold in February 2017. We also provide trademark and licensing services to the Hotels, one hotel owned by affiliates of Mr. Wirth and one unrelated hotel property.

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 April 30, 2018, IBC Hotels provided services to approximately 2,000 hotels.

In furtherance of our strategic plan, we have significantly expanded InnDependent Boutique Collection. InnDependent Boutique Collection (“IBC”, “IBC Hotels” or “IBC Hospitality Technologies”), a wholly owned subsidiary of InnSuites Hospitality Trust, has a network of approximately 2,000 unrelated hotel properties with exclusive marketing distribution and services as well as brand-like cost savings solutions to independent boutique hotels. Additionally, IBC provides direct bookings solutions to a variety of branded hotels and alternative lodging. IBC’s patent-pending loyalty program allows consumers to book highly discounted travel when logged in and shopping for lodging on www.ivhtravel.com. IVHTravel.com and its proprietary booking engine has over 1.1 million lodging choices globally and provides add-on capability for activities, rental car and cancellation protection.

HOTEL OPERATIONS

Our strategic plan for our hotel operations 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.

Our 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 table below lists the Hotel properties, their respective carrying and mortgage value and the listed asking price for the hotel properties.

Hotel Property	Book Value		Mortgage Balance		Listed Asking Price
Albuquerque	$	1,959,751	$	-	$	7,000,000
Tucson Oracle		7,509,974		4,899,378		15,500,000
Yuma		4,748,660		4,793,197		16,500,000
	$	14,218,385	$	9,692,575	$	39,000,000

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 Hotels’ areas of operation and current earnings of each of the Hotels. The listed asking price is not based on appraisals of the properties.

Our results are significantly affected by occupancy and room rates at the Hotels, our ability to manage costs, and changes in the number of available suites caused by acquisition and disposition activities. Results are also significantly impacted by overall economic conditions and conditions in the travel industry. Unfavorable changes in these factors could negatively impact hotel room demand and pricing, which would reduce our profit margins on rented suites. Additionally, our ability to manage costs could be adversely impacted by significant increases in operating expenses, resulting in lower operating margins. Management expects greater demand and steady supply to continue. However, either a further increase in supply or a further decline in demand could result in increased competition, which could have an adverse effect on the revenue of the Hotels in their respective markets.

We experienced stronger economic conditions during fiscal year 2018, and we continue to anticipate that a steady economy will exist during all of 2019. We expect the major challenge for fiscal year 2019 to be the continuation of strong competition for corporate leisure group and government business in the markets in which we operate, which may affect our ability to increase room rates while maintaining market share. We believe that we have positioned the Hotels to remain competitive through refurbishment, by offering a relatively large number of two-room suites at each location and by maintaining a robust complementary guest Internet access system.

At April 30, 2018, we owned through our sole general partner’s interest in the Partnership a direct 20.58% interest in the Albuquerque, New Mexico Hotel, a 12.79% direct interest in the Yuma, Arizona Hotel. Additionally, at April 30, 2018, we, together with the Partnership, owned a 51.01% interest in a hotel located in Tucson, Arizona. At April 30, 2017, we owned through our sole general partner’s interest in the Partnership a direct 50.91% interest in the Albuquerque, New Mexico Hotel, and a 32.11% direct interest in the Yuma, Arizona Hotel. Additionally, at April 30, 2017, we, together with the Partnership, owned a 51.01% interest in a hotel located in Tucson, Arizona.

Our principal source of cash to meet our cash requirements, including distributions to our shareholders, is our share of the Partnership’s cash flow, quarterly distributions from the Albuquerque, New Mexico and Yuma, Arizona properties and more recently, sales of non-controlling interests in our Hotels. The Partnership’s principal source of cash flow is quarterly distributions from the Tucson, Arizona property. 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. 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; however, such transactions may not be available on terms that are favorable to us, or at all.

IBC HOSPITALITY TECHNOLOGIES

InnDependent Boutique Collection (“IBC”, “IBC Hotels”, “IBC Hotels, LLC”, “IBC Hospitality” or “IBC Hospitality Technologies”), a wholly owned subsidiary of InnSuites Hospitality Trust, has a network of approximately 2,000 unrelated hospitality properties with proprietary software exclusive marketing distribution and services as well as brand-like cost savings solutions to independent boutique hotels and alternative lodging (serviced apartments, B&B’s, villas and multi-unit ownership/management of luxury private residences). Additionally, IBC provides software and solutions to a variety of branded hotels looking to increase direct bookings and receive full guest information IBC’s patent-pending loyalty program allows consumers to book highly discounted travel when logged in and shopping for lodging on www.ivhtravel.com. IVHTravel.com and its proprietary booking engine has over 1.1 million lodging choices globally and provides add-on capability for activities, rental car and cancellation protection with airfare, all on the technologically developed roadmap in 2019.

IBC was born out of an independent hotelier’s frustration over being denied cost-effective access to enterprise hospitality services and software that served their large corporate competitors coupled with the inability to secure a global and robust guest loyalty program. Instead of giving up independence, the founders of IBC hired a development team to create the patent-pending InnDependent InnCentives guest loyalty program. With the success of the patent-pending InnCentives loyalty program IBC began adding hotel services and software specifically for independent and boutique hotels. These solutions address the following challenges: RevPAR and Profitability Optimization, Operational Management and Soft Brand Benefits. RevPAR, or revenue per available room, is a hospitality performance metric that is calculated by dividing a hotels total guestroom revenue by the room count and the number of days in the period being measured or by multiplying the average daily rate by the occupancy.

International Vacation Hotels Travel (“IVH”) Transactional Business to Consumer (“B-to-C”)

There are three (3) B-to-C revenue streams, where IVH provides a proprietary internet website or customized proprietary internet landing pages for each of the hotel properties. IVH’s customer base is the Guests who are booking the reservations, not the hotels that are contracted with IBC. Guests go to IBC’s managed web pages to ultimately purchase their hotel accommodations using the proprietary IBC booking engine or visit www.ivhtravel.com or www.ibcinncentives.com. IVH obtains the guests from a variety of demand channels including direct marketing, retargeting, meta sites and direct internet searches. Guests typically book their travel accommodations on either the home page of www.ivhtravel.com or www.ibcinncentives.com a customized landing page for meta-mid funnel reservations.

	A.	IVH Collect – IVH will charge the guests in full on booking and remit the payments to the Hotel for all completed stays for rates contracted less the agreed upon commission. Wire and ACH fees will be paid by the hotel as applicable.
	B.	Hotel Collect – the hotel will charge the guests in full upon arrival and IVH will invoice the hotel at the end of each month the agreed upon commission for the hotel guest stays completed.
	C.	Split – Guest pays deposit to IVH equal to the commission, provides credit card details and pays the balance to the Member upon arrival.

Guests book using the proprietary IBC booking engine either directly on ivhtravel.com or a customized landing page or website or www.ibcinncentives.com or white label solution, IVH is the merchant of record, and assumes the overall liability and risk of the transaction where the financial institution holds the merchant of record liable to process the payments correctly from our guests. Per the network requirements, guests are made to be aware that they are purchasing from IVH as our website branding, customized guest confirmations, reminder guest email communications, logos, privacy information, terms of use clearly describe IBC/IVH policies, including 24-hour reservations support.

The 24/7/365 reservation service IVH provides a service where guests can call, email or chat via their website with a reservations agent to answer any questions about the accommodations or reservation. Inquiries are generated from either the confirmation details provided to the guest or our website which lists our phone number, email and chat services. These inquires go directly to our IVH reservation service line, not the individual hotel properties.

IBC Business to Business (“B-to-B”)

Additionally, IBC is a technology solutions provider to the global travel and tourism industry. IBC spans the breadth of the global travel ecosystem, providing key software and services to a broad range of travel suppliers and travel buyers. One of the main significant differences between our IBC Technologies division and our IVH business is that IBC Technology division’s customer is the hotel property and not the guest. IBC’s customer base is the Hotel Properties, not the guests who are staying at the hotel properties.

A summary of our IBC Hospitality B-to-B Technologies and Services includes:

	●	Recurring proprietary software services revenues (central reservation system (CRS), channel manager services, reselling “white-label” IBC software, and aggregator switch services)
	●	Digital Marketing Services – Retargeting, Search Engine Marketing (“SEM”) (Management plus a % of advertisement spend), Email Marketing and Social Media services
	●	Meta services – official listings on meta including transactional and % of advertisement spend along with IVH meta channel on various providers and optimization of digital marketing budgets
	●	Patent-pending Loyalty rewards services sold to hotels as a % of bookings
	●	Website creation – either monthly fee or one-time expenses plus monthly hosting fees

For an independent hotel property who does not have the technical staff or skills, marketing their hotel property on the internet is a daunting task. IBC Hospitality Technologies provides the property a proven marketing system that will grow their online presence and drive directs reservations to the hotels website and booking engine. Online search is the most popular way for travelers to find hotels with 80% of all hotel bookings beginning with Google and other providers. IBC Digital Marketing Services provides member hotels an opportunity to be in front of travelers needing to book their hotel accommodations.

The Software as a Service (“SaaS”) revenues include website creation, proprietary booking engine, loyalty rewards and a CRS. Also, these hotels receive a small amount of digital marketing retargeting and meta services included in their monthly revenue fees, when appropriate and when we can determine that an appropriate return on investment (“ROI”) will be provided.

Digital marketing services includes retargeting advertising as an example. Retargeting, also known as remarketing, is a form of online advertising. Digital marketing assists the IBC member hotel, who has signed up for this service; generate additional revenues by keeping the hotel in front of bounced traffic after they leave our website. For most websites, only 2% of the web traffic converts on the first visit. Retargeting is a tool designed to help hotels reach 98% of guests who don’t book their hotel accommodations on their first visit. IBC, on behalf of the contracted member hotel, purchases “clicks” from various online resources to generate additional demand for the hotel property. IBC reviews complex demographic data to target and accurately pinpoint potential guests to advertise to; thus IBC not only purchases advertising space, but also provides a value added service thru various marketing optimization methods.

IBC COMPETITION

We operate in highly competitive markets. IBC competes with several other regional and global travel marketplace providers, including other local distribution systems and direct distribution by travel suppliers. In addition to other GDSs and direct distributors, there are a number of other competitors in the travel distribution marketplace, including new entrants in the travel space that offer metasearch capabilities that direct shoppers to supplier websites and/or OTAs, third party aggregators and peer-to-peer options for travel services.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on May 16, 2018, 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 which has not changed in the period ended April 30, 2018. Those policies include methods used to recognize and measure any identified impairment of our Hotel property assets.

On August 1, 2015, the Trust finalized and committed to a plan to sell all the hotel properties. As of May 1, 2016, the Trust listed all the Hotel properties with a local real estate hotel broker, and management believes that each of the assets is being marketed at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. The Trust believes that the plan to sell these assets will not be withdrawn. Through the Trust’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on September 14, 2016, the Trust classified all the Hotel properties as Assets Held for Sale. As of October 31, 2016, the Trust has decided to reclassify these assets back into operations as many of these assets have been marketed for sale for more than one year. At this time, the Trust is unable to predict when, and if, any of these Hotel properties will be sold. The Trust continues to list these properties with local real estate hotel brokers, and believes that each of the assets is being marketed at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value.

COMPLIANCE WITH CONTINUED LISTING STANDARDS OF NYSE AMERICAN

On January 19, 2017, the Trust received a letter from the NYSE AMERICAN informing the Trust that the staff of the NYSE AMERICAN’s Corporate Compliance Department had determined that the Trust is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE AMERICAN Company Guide due to the Trust having stockholders’ equity of less than $6.0 million and net losses from continuing operations in its five most recent fiscal years ended January 31, 2017.

The NYSE AMERICAN’s letter informed the Trust that, to maintain its listing, it must submit a plan of compliance by February 20, 2017, addressing how it intends to regain compliance with the NYSE AMERICAN’s continued listing standards within the maximum potential 18-month plan period available (the “Plan Period”). Elements of the compliance plan may include the sale of one or more of its assets (management believes IHT hotels have a much lower book value than market value), sale of additional Trust stock at market value, sale of minority interest in specific hotel properties and/or anticipated continuation of the current operational upward current trends in hotel gross operating profits.

On June 2, 2017, the Trust sold its Ontario, California hotel to an unrelated third party for approximately $17.5 million, which the Trust received in cash. The Trust has recognized a gain of approximately $11.4 million on its consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018. In each of the three (3) last reporting periods, April 30, 2018, January 31, 2018, and October 31, 2017, the Trust Shareholder’s Equity was in excess of $8.1 million, which exceeds the minimum requirements of the NYSE American Company Guide.

On January 11, 2018, the Trust received a letter from the NYSE American LLC informing us that the Trust is back in compliance with all of the NYSE American LLC continued listing standards set forth in Part 10 of the NYSE American LLC Company Guide. Specifically, the Trust has resolved the continued listing deficiencies with respect to Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide reference in the Exchange’s letters dated January 19, 2017.. The Trust will be subject to ongoing review for compliance with NYSE American LLC requirements as part of the Exchange’s routine monitoring.

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 interest expense, amortization of loan costs, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-controlling interests in the Trust. 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 payments 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.

A reconciliation of net loss attributable to controlling interests to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended April 30, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:

	Three Months Ended April 30,
	2018			2017
Net loss attributable to controlling interests	$	(652,015	)	$	(239,769	)
Add back:
Depreciation		377,738			413,398
Interest expense		177,313			205,036
Taxes		-			60,000
Less:
Interest Income		(3,632	)		(4	)
Adjusted EBITDA	$	(100,596	)	$	438,661

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 real estate investment 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 consolidated financial statements.

A reconciliation of net loss attributable to controlling interests to FFO for the three months ended April 30, 2018 and 2017:

	Three Months Ended April 30,
	2018			2017
Net loss attributable to controlling interests	$	(652,015	)	$	(239,769	)
Add back:
Depreciation		377,738			413,398
Non-controlling interest		(362,054	)		(297,870	)
FFO	$	(636,331	)	$	(124,241	)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our expenses consist primarily of property taxes, insurance, corporate overhead, interest on mortgage debt, professional fees, depreciation of the Hotels and hotel operating expenses. Hotel operating expenses consist primarily of payroll, guest and maintenance supplies, marketing and utilities expenses. Under the terms of its Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is required to reimburse us for all such expenses. Accordingly, management believes that a review of the historical performance of the operations of the Hotels, particularly with respect to occupancy, which is calculated as rooms sold divided by total 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 number of rooms available, is appropriate for understanding revenue from the Hotels. In the first three months of fiscal year 2019, occupancy increased 4.03% to 75.81% from 71.78% in the first three months of the prior fiscal year. ADR increased by $4.17, or 4.2%, to $92.42 during the first three months of fiscal year 2019 from $88.25 in the first three months of fiscal year 2018. The increased occupancy and the increased ADR resulted in an increase in REVPAR of $7.51, or 10.2%, to $80.76 in the first three months of fiscal year 2019 from $73.25 in the first three months of fiscal year 2018. Our property in Yuma, Arizona during the prior fiscal year had significant improvements, resulting in an improved product that was able to increase its occupancy and rates which allowed an increase in our overall revenues for the first three months of fiscal year 2019 compared with the first three months of fiscal year 2018. While we anticipate rate and occupancy levels to continue to improve during the rest of fiscal year 2019 due to slowly improving economic and travel industry conditions.

The following table shows certain historical financial and other information for the periods indicated

	For the Three Months Ended
	April 30,
	2018			2017

No assurance can be given that occupancy, ADR and REVPAR will not increase or decrease as a result of changes in national or local economic or hospitality industry conditions or other factors.

REVENUE

Hotel Operations & Corporate Overhead Segment

For the three months ended April 30, 2018, we had total revenue of approximately $3,130,000 compared to approximately $2,809,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2017, an increase of approximately $320,728. With an improved and renovated hotel property at our Yuma, Arizona market, we realized an overall 12% increase in room revenues during the first three months of fiscal year 2019 as room revenues were approximately $3,047,000 for the first three months of fiscal year 2019 as compared to approximately $2,711,000 during the first three months of fiscal year 2018. Food and beverage revenue was approximately $22,000 for the first three months of fiscal year 2019 as compared to approximately $11,000 for the first three months of fiscal year 2018, an increase of approximately $11,000. During the remainder of fiscal year 2019, we expect improvements in occupancy, modest improvements in rates and steady food and beverage revenues. We also realized a 16% decrease in management and trademark fee revenues during the first three months of fiscal year 2019 as management and trademark revenues were approximately $67,000 during the first three months of fiscal year 2019 as compared to approximately $80,000 during first three months of fiscal year 2018. During the remainder of fiscal year 2019, we expect management and trademark fee revenues to decrease as Mr. Wirth sold one of his hotels, which will put significant pressure on our management and trademark fee revenues as management and trademark revenues are primarily collected historically from Mr. Wirth’s three properties and now Mr. Wirth only has one hotel property.

IBC Hospitality Segment

For the three months ended April 30, 2018, we had total revenue of approximately $344,000, a decrease of 17% as compared to approximately $244,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2017. Comparative revenues for fiscal year 2019 to 2018 are impacted by the adoption of ASU 2014-09 (Topic 606) which was effective for reporting period after February 1, 2018. This adoption now requires revenues to be reported at net value versus gross value for 2018. The impact of the adoption for 2018 was a $82,000 reduction to gross revenue for the current period ending April 30, 2018. A comparison of revenue, gross-to-gross, would show $426,000 compared to $416,000, a 2.4% increase for the periods ending April 30, 2018 and April 30, 2017, respectively.

During the first three months ended April 30, 2018, we continued building out the IBC software, expanded digital marketing services and sales efforts. Specifically, focus was centered on driving direct bookings to increase hotel’s net REVPAR including the patent-pending loyalty rewards program, central reservations system (CRS), booking engine, retargeting and meta software and services.

EXPENSES

Hotel Operations & Corporate Overhead Segment

Total operating expenses were $2,700,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2018, reflecting an increase of approximately $274,000 compared to total operating expenses of approximately $2,426,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to an increase in occupancy resulting in an increase in operating expenses for our rooms, and depreciation of capital expenses due to product improvement plans (PIP).

Room expenses, consisting of salaries and related employment taxes for property management, front office, housekeeping personnel, reservation fees and room supplies, were approximately $787,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2018 compared to approximately $680,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2017, approximately a $107,000, or 16%, increase in costs. With increased occupancy at several of our hotel properties, we incurred additional room expenses which was anticipated and planned. Management anticipates this will be consistent for the remainder of fiscal year 2018.

Food and beverage expenses included food and beverage costs, personnel and miscellaneous costs to provide small banquet events. For the first three months ended April 30, 2018, food and beverage expenses were approximately $36,000 as compared to approximately $18,000 for the first three months ended April 30, 2017, a increase of approximately $18,000, or 100%. The increase during the first three months of fiscal year 2019 as compared to the first three months of fiscal year 2018 corresponded with an increased amount of demand.

Telecommunications expense, consisting of telephone and Internet costs for the first three months ended April 30, 2018 were approximately $11,000 as compared to approximately $10,000 for the first three months ended April 30, 2017. Telecommunications expenses increased in fiscal year 2018 due to additional internet costs incurred at our Best Western properties, for guest Wi-Fi services. Management anticipates this will be consistent for the remainder of fiscal year 2019.

General and administrative expenses include overhead charges for management, accounting, shareholder and legal services. General and administrative expenses of approximately $972,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2018 decreased approximately $140,000 from approximately $979,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2017 primarily due to decrease in overhead and closer monitoring of spending. Management anticipates this will be consistent for the remainder of fiscal year 2019.

Sales and marketing expense increased approximately $13,000, or 1.0%, to approximately $465,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2018 from approximately $452,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2017. The increase was consistent with the growth in revenues.

Repairs and maintenance expense was approximately $166,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2018 from approximately $134,000 reported for the three months ended April 30, 2017, a difference of $32,000. We continue to focus on maintaining our properties and completing ongoing repairs and maintenance initiatives to ensure that the hotel properties exceeds our guests’ expectation. Management anticipates this will be consistent for the remainder of fiscal year 2019.

Hospitality expense increased by approximately $10,000, or 0.1%, from $161,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2017 to approximately $171,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to the increased occupancy at our hotel properties.

Utility expenses increased by approximately $11,000 from approximately $121,000 reported for the three months ended April 30, 2017 compared with approximately $132,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2018. The properties had increased occupancy which incurred higher utility costs.

Hotel property depreciation expense decreased to approximately $377,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2018 as compared to approximately $391,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2017, a decrease of approximately $14,000. The change is a combination of increased depreciation due to our property improvements, and the high depreciation expense from the prior year period due to the re-classification of properties from assets held for sale to continuing operations .

Real estate and personal property taxes, insurance and ground rent expense decreased by approximately $40,000, from approximately $157,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2017 to approximately $117,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2018.

Interest expenses were approximately $177,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2018, an decrease of approximately $28,000 from the interest expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2017 of approximately $205,000. The decrease was primarily due to the refinancing of Yuma, AZ property.

Income tax provision was $-0- for the three months ended April 30, 2018, a decrease of $60,000 from approximately $60,000 of income tax provision for the three months ended April 30, 2017.

IBC Hospitality Segment

Total expenses, which are comprised primarily of general and administrative, sales and marketing expense, cost of reservations was approximately $890,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2018 as compared to approximately $559,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2017, an increase of approximately 57%.

General and administrative expenses include overhead charges for management, accounting, travel and consultative services. General and administrative expenses of approximately $228,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2018 decreased approximately $136,000 from approximately $364,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2017. Management anticipates the reduced run-rate will be consistent for the remainder of fiscal year 2019. Some of the costs classified as general and administrative in the prior year period, related to personnel, are now classified as sales and marketing, as people have reassigned to the sales and marketing effort.

Sales and marketing expense increased approximately $247,000, to approximately $250,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2018 from approximately $3,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2017. The increase is due a high investment in digital marketing. Management believes this quarter’s investment will yield a considerable return on investments remainder of fiscal year 2019.

IBC depreciation expense increased $40,000 from approximately $17,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2017 as compared to approximately $57,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2018. The change occurred as additional depreciation expenses are incurred as software development is capitalized.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview – Hotel Operations & Corporate Overhead and IBC Development Segments

Our principal source of cash to meet our cash requirements, including distributions to our shareholders, is our share of the Partnership’s cash flow, quarterly distributions from the Albuquerque, New Mexico and Yuma, Arizona properties and more recently, sales of non-controlling interests in certain of our Hotels and the sale of hotel properties. The Partnership’s principal source of revenue is hotel operations for the one hotel property it owns in Tucson, Arizona and the proceeds from the sale of the Ontario, California property. 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 ADR will be steady during this coming year; capital improvements will decrease from the prior year.

With approximately $5,557,000 of cash and short term investments as of April 30, 2018 and the availability of a $1,000,000 related party Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note and the availability of our two available Advances to Affiliate credit facilities for a total of $1,000,000 maximum borrowing capacity, we believe that we will have enough cash on hand to meet all of our financial obligations as they become due for at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of the these consolidated financial statements. In addition, our management is analyzing other strategic options available to us, including raising additional funds through additional non-controlling interest sales; however, such transactions may not be available on terms that are favorable to us, or at all.

There can be no assurance that we will be successful in refinancing debt or raising additional or replacement funds, or that these funds may be available 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.

We anticipate some additional new-build hotel supply during fiscal year 2019. In fiscal year 2019, we anticipate additional pressure on revenues and operating margins. We expect the major challenge for fiscal year 2019 to be the continuation of strong competition for corporate leisure group and government business in the markets in which we operate, which may affect our ability to increase room rates while maintaining market share.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $162,000 during period ended April 30, 2018 as compared to approximately $459,000 during the period ending April 30, 2017. Consolidated net loss was approximately $290,000 for the year ended April 30, 2018 as compared to consolidated net income for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017 of approximately $58,000. Explanation of the differences between these fiscal years are explained above in the results of operations of the Trust.

Net cash used by investing activities totaled approximately $2,014,000 for the period ended April 30, 2018 compared to net cash used in investing activities of approximately $654,000 for the period ended April 30, 2017. The increase in net cash used by investing activities during period ending April 30, 2018 was due to the purchased of $2.0 million of marketable securities.

Net cash used by financing activities totaled approximately $367,000 for the period ended April 30, 2018, compare to cash provided of approximately $95,000 for the period ended April 30, 2017. The change of $462,000 is attributable to repurchases of treasury stock of approximately $288,000, distributions to Non-controlling interest holders of approximately $257,000, offset by reduced payments on Notes Payable to Banks and Principal Payments on Mortgage Notes Payable.

Principal payments on mortgage notes payables was approximately $62,000 and approximately $130,000 during the periods ended April 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Payments on notes payable to banks was approximately $46,000 and approximately $1,689,000 during the periods ended April 30, 2018 and 2017.

For the period ended April 30, 2018, payments on line of credit – related party netted against borrowings on line of credit – related party was approximately $-0- of net cash used by financing activities as compared to approximately $143,000 of net cash provided by in financing activities for the three months ended April 30, 2017.

Payments on notes payables – related party netted against borrowings on note payable – related party was approximately $113,000 of net cash used and approximately $-0- of net cash provided by financing activities during the period ended April 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Proceeds from sales of non-controlling ownership interests in subsidiaries decreased significantly by approximately $1,332,000 as sales of non-controlling ownership interest was approximately $103,000 for the period year ended April 30, 2018 and approximately $1,434,000 for the period ended April 30, 2017. During the period ended April 30, 2017, we primarily sold additional non-controlling interests in our Yuma, Arizona and Albuquerque, New Mexico property subsidiaries. In addition, we had sale of IHT stock of $200,000 in the period ending April 30, 2018 and no sales of our IHT stock for the three months ended April 30, 2017.

During the period ended April 30, 2018, our distributions to non-controlling interest holders was approximately $257,000 compared with approximately $184,000 for the period ended April 30, 2017.

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 one of our properties. As of April 30, 2018 and 2017, there were no monies held in these accounts reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Restricted Cash.” These amounts are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, and classified under Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

We have minimum debt payments, net of debt discounts, of approximately $1,400,000 and approximately $447,000 due during fiscal years 2019 and 2020, respectively. Minimum debt payments due during fiscal year 2019 include approximately $190,000 of mortgage notes payable, approximately $98,000 notes payable to bank, approximately $1,112,000 of other notes payable secured promissory notes outstanding to unrelated third parties arising from the Shares of Beneficial Interest and Partnership unit repurchases.

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.

NET LOSS BEFORE INCOME TAX PROVISION, DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND GAIN ON DISPOSAL OF ASSETS

We had a consolidated net loss before income taxes provision and discontinued operations of approximately $289,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2018, compared to approximately $132,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2017.

Net loss from continued operations per share – basic and diluted was ($0.03) and ($0.01) for the three months ended April 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Net income from discontinued operations per share – basic and diluted was $0.00 for the three months ended April 30, 2018 and $0.02 for the three months ended April 30, 2017.

Net (loss) income per share total – basic and diluted was ($0.03) and $0.01 for the three months ended April 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

SEASONALITY

The Hotels’ operations historically have been somewhat seasonal. The two 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 two southern Arizona hotels. This seasonality pattern can be expected to cause fluctuations in the Trust’s quarterly revenues. The hotel located in New Mexico historically experiences its 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.

It is too early to determine what the seasonality of the IBC segment is. The Trust does not anticipate much seasonality due to the diversification of the location of the IBC Hotels.

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 April 30, 2018.

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.
