Quarterly Report
GENERAL
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
We own the sole general partner's interest in the Partnership. Our principal source of cash flows is from the operations of the Hotels and management and licensing contracts with affiliated and third-party hotels.
HOTEL PROPERTIES HELD FOR SALE
We reclassified all of our hotel properties from "held for sale" to "held and used" in the quarter ended October 31, 2008. Due to the economic conditions and credit market restraints, the funds were not available to potential buyers to finance a purchase of one or more of our hotels. As a result of this reclassification, we recorded $1.9 million in depreciation expense during the quarter ended October 31, 2008 that was previously suspended while the assets were "held for sale."
We continue to be willing to discuss potential sales with qualified buyers for our hotels and will continue to migrate our primary business from a hotel owner to a hospitality service company providing trademark licensing and management services.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2009, we identified the critical accounting policies that affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements. Those policies include accounting for property, plant and equipment, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, revenue recognition, receivables and allowance for doubtful accounts, stock based compensation, income taxes, dividends and distributions, minority interest, income (loss) per share and fair value of financial instruments, new accounting pronouncements, segment reporting and advertising cost. We have not changed these policies from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our expenses consist primarily of hotel operating expenses, property taxes, insurance, corporate overhead, interest on mortgage debt, professional fees and depreciation of the Hotels. Our operating performance is principally related to the performance of the Hotels. Therefore, management believes that a review of the historical performance of the operations of the Hotels, particularly with respect to occupancy, calculated as rooms sold divided by the number of rooms available, average daily rate ("ADR"), calculated as total room revenue divided by number of rooms sold, and revenue per available room ("REVPAR"), calculated as total room revenue divided by the number of rooms available, is appropriate for understanding revenue from the Hotels. Occupancy was 63.0% for the six months ended July 31, 2009, a decrease of 6.9% from the prior year same period. ADR decreased $8.86, or 10.5%, to $75.36. The decreases in ADR and reduced occupancy resulted in a decrease of $11.36, or 19.3%, in REVPAR to $47.48 from $58.84 in the prior year period. The decrease in occupancy is due to the downward trend in our economy causing less vacation and fewer business travelers. We project that this trend will continue through late 2009.
The following table shows occupancy, ADR and REVPAR for the periods indicated:
July 31,
2009 2008
OCCUPANCY 63.0 % 69.9 %
AVERAGE DAILY RATE (ADR) $ 75.36 $ 84.22
REVENUE PER AVAILABLE ROOM (REVPAR) $ 47.48 $ 58.84
|
No assurance can be given that the trends reflected in this data will continue or that occupancy, ADR or REVPAR will not decrease as a result of changes in national or local economic or hospitality industry conditions. We expect the current global recession to negatively affect our business through late 2009.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2009 COMPARED TO THE SIX
MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2008
A summary of the operating results for the six months ended July 31, 2009 and
2008 is:
2009 2008 Change % Change
Revenue $ 9,468,575 $ 11,771,241 $ (2,302,666 ) (19.6) %
Operating Income $ 400,729 $ 2,648,778 $ (2,248,049 ) (84.9) %
Net (Loss) Income Attributable

For the six months ended July 31, 2009, our total revenue was $9.5 million, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 19.6%, compared with the prior year period of $11.8 million. Revenues from hotel operations, which include Room, Food and Beverage, Telecommunications and Other revenues, decreased 20.7% to $7.9 million for the six months ended July 31, 2009, from $10.0 million for the six months ended July 31, 2008. Hotel operations, including Food and Beverage operations, experienced a significant decrease in revenues during the first six months of fiscal 2010 due to lower occupancy and increased rate pressure. Expenses may not decline proportionately with a decline in revenues due to a high degree of operational and financial leverage in our hotel business.
Total expenses of $9.8 million for the six months ended July 31, 2009 were consistent with the prior year period total of $9.8 million. Total operating expenses of $9.0 million were also consistent with the prior year period total operating expenses of $9.1 million. The majority of the hotel operating expenses decreased due to lower occupancy, offset by an increase of $947,000 in hotel property depreciation expense for the current six month period, due to the reclassification of the hotel properties from "held for sale" to "held and used" during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009.
General and administrative expense was $1.6 million for the six months ended July 31, 2009, a decrease of $81,000, or 4.9%, from prior year period total of $1.7 million. The decrease was primarily due to reduced professional fees incurred by the Trust.
Total interest expense was $759,000 for the six months ended July 31, 2009, consistent with the prior year period total of $760,000. The Trust expects future interest expense to increase due to the interest rate floor implemented on its $850,000 line of credit.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2009 COMPARED TO THE
THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2008
A summary of the operating results for the three months ended July 31, 2009 and
2008 is:

For the three months ended July 31, 2009, our total revenue was $4.0 million, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 20.4%, compared with the prior year period of $5.0 million. Revenues from hotel operations, which include Room, Food and Beverage, Telecommunications and Other revenues, decreased 22.9% to $3.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 2009, from $4.1 million for the three months ended July 31, 2008. Hotel operations, including Food and Beverage operations, experienced a significant decrease in revenues during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 due to lower occupancy and increased rate pressure. Expenses may not decline proportionately with a decline in revenues due to a high degree of operational and financial leverage in the hotel industry.
Total expenses of $4.9 million for the three months ended July 31, 2009 were consistent with the prior year period total of $4.9 million. Total operating expenses of $4.5 million were also consistent with the prior year period total operating expenses of $4.6 million. The majority of the hotel operating expenses decreased due to lower occupancy, offset by an increase of $468,000 in hotel property depreciation expense for the current quarter, due to the reclassification of the hotel properties from "held for sale" to "held and used" during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009.
General and administrative expense was $734,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2009, a decrease of $96,000, or 11.5%, from the prior year period total of $830,000. The decrease was primarily due to reduced professional fees incurred by the Trust.
Total interest expense was $376,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2009, consistent with the prior year period total of $375,000.
We recognize that industry analysts and investors use Funds From Operations ("FFO") as a financial measure to evaluate and compare equity REITs. We also believe it is meaningful as an indicator of net income, excluding most non-cash items, and provides information about our cash available for distributions, debt service and capital expenditures. We follow the March 1995 interpretation of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") definition of FFO, as amended January 1, 2000, which is calculated (in our case) as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, depreciation and amortization on real estate property and extraordinary items. FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all of our cash needs. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure as an indicator of performance and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. In addition, our FFO may not be comparable to other companies' FFO due to differing methods of calculating FFO and varying interpretations of the NAREIT definition. The following table shows the reconciliation of FFO to Net Income Attributable to Shares of Beneficial Interest:
For the Six Months Ended July 31, For the Three Months Ended July 31,

FFO decreased approximately $980,000 for the six month period ended July 31, 2009, reflecting a decrease of 59.9% when compared to the prior year period. FFO decreased approximately $380,000 for the three month period ended July 31, 2009, reflecting a decrease of over 100% when compared to the prior year period. The decreases were primarily due to lower occupancies and room rates resulting in less revenue during the period.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Through our ownership interest in the Partnership, Yuma Hospitality LP and InnSuites Hotels, we have a proportionate share of the benefits and obligations of the Partnership's and Yuma Hospitality LP's ownership interests, as well as InnSuites Hotels' operational interests, in the Hotels. Our principal source of cash to meet our cash requirements, including distributions to our shareholders, is our share of these cash flows. Our liquidity, including our ability to make distributions to our shareholders, will depend upon the ability to generate sufficient cash flows from hotel operations.
We have principal of $406,683 due and payable for the remainder of fiscal year 2010 under mortgage notes payable. For the period between August 1, 2009 and July 31, 2010, we have principal of $835,461 due and payable under mortgage notes payable. We anticipate that current cash balances and future cash flows from operations will be sufficient to satisfy these obligations as they become due. In the event cash flows from operations are insufficient to satisfy these obligations as they become due, we may seek to negotiate additional credit facilities or issue debt instruments.
We have no principal due and payable for the remainder of fiscal year 2010 or thereafter under notes and advances payable to Mr. Wirth and his affiliates.
We entered into an agreement for an unsecured bank line of credit on August 18, 2006. Under the agreement, we could draw $750,000, bearing interest at prime plus 0.5%, with interest-only payments due monthly. During specified times over the duration of the line of credit, we must pay the line of credit down to zero and are unable to borrow against the line of credit for a period of 30 days. The line of credit matured on May 18, 2008, was paid in full, and was replaced by an $850,000 revolving line of credit, as discussed below.
On March 3, 2008, we established an $850,000 revolving line of credit. The line of credit has no financial covenants, bore interest at Wall Street Journal prime (3.25% as of July 31, 2009) and originally matured on July 15, 2009. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, we entered into an agreement to extend the maturity date of the line of credit to June 30, 2010. This extension agreement implemented an interest rate floor of 6.25%, which was the effective rate as of July 31, 2009. The extension also granted additional security to the lender through a junior lien on the Yuma, Arizona property. As of July 31, 2009, we had drawn $135,047 of the funds available under the line of credit.
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.
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 four of our properties. As of July 31, 2009, $125,438 was held in restricted capital expenditure funds and is included on our Balance Sheet as "Restricted Cash." The Fund is intended to be used for capital improvements to the Hotels and for refurbishment and replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment, in addition to other uses of amounts in the Fund considered appropriate from time to time. During the six months ended July 31, 2009, the Hotels spent $480,478 for capital expenditures. We consider the majority of these improvements to be revenue producing. Therefore, these amounts have been capitalized and are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The Hotels also spent $595,322 and $750,283 during the six-month periods ended July 31, 2009 and July 31, 2008, respectively, on repairs and maintenance and these amounts have been charged to expense as incurred. The Hotels also spent $307,132 and $386,277 during the three-month periods ended July 31, 2009 and July 31, 2008, respectively, on repairs and maintenance and these amounts have been charged to expense as incurred.
As of July 31, 2009, we have no commitments for capital expenditures beyond the 4% reserve for refurbishment and replacements set aside annually for each hotel property.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCINGS AND LIABILITIES
Other than lease commitments and legal contingencies incurred in the normal course of business, we do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities. We do not have any majority-owned subsidiaries that are not included in the consolidated financial statements. (See Note 2 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.")
SEASONALITY
The Hotels' operations historically have been seasonal. The three southern Arizona hotels experience their highest occupancy in the first fiscal quarter and, to a lesser extent, the fourth fiscal quarter. The second fiscal quarter tends to be the lowest period of occupancy at those three southern Arizona hotels. This seasonality pattern can be expected to cause fluctuations in our quarterly revenue. The two hotels located in California and New Mexico historically experience their most profitable periods during the second and third fiscal quarters (the summer season), providing some balance to the general seasonality of our hotel business. To the extent that cash flows from operations are insufficient during any quarter, because of temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, we may utilize other cash on hand or borrowings to make distributions to our shareholders or to meet operating needs. No assurance can be given that we will make distributions in the future.
