INNSUITES HOSPITALITY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2006 AND 2005

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

InnSuites Hospitality Trust (the “Trust”) is an unincorporated real estate investment trust in the State of Ohio that at April 30, 2006 owned four hotels through a partnership interest in RRF Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) and one hotel directly (the “Hotels”) with an aggregate of 843 suites in Arizona, southern California and New Mexico. The Trust is the sole general partner in the Partnership. The Hotels are managed by InnSuites Hotels, Inc. (“InnSuites Hotels”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trust.

InnSuites Hotels holds management contracts under which it provides hotel management services to the Hotels, as well as four hotels with an aggregate of 544 suites owned by affiliates of James F. Wirth (“Wirth”) and one unrelated hotel property with 131 suites. Under the management agreements, InnSuites Hotels provides the personnel at the hotels, the expenses of which are reimbursed at cost, and manages the hotels’ daily operations, for which it receives a percentage of revenue from the hotels. InnSuites Hotels also holds licensing agreements and the “InnSuites” trademarks and provides licensing services to the Hotels, as well as the four hotels owned by affiliates of Wirth with an aggregate of 544 suites and two unrelated hotel properties with an aggregate of 307 suites. Under the licensing agreements, InnSuites Hotels receives a percentage of revenue from the hotels in exchange for use of the “InnSuites” trademark. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Trust’s general partnership interest in the Partnership was 69.53% and 67.19% on April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and the weighted average for the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005 was 69.47% and 65.65%, respectively.

PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

The Partnership Agreement of the Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”) provides for the issuance of two classes of limited partnership units, Class A and Class B. Such classes are identical in all respects, except that each Class A limited partnership unit is convertible into a like number of Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust at any time at the option of the particular limited partner. As of April 30, 2006, a total of 617,287 Class A limited partnership units were issued and outstanding. Additionally, a total of 3,407,938 Class B limited partnership units were held by Wirth and his affiliates on that date, in lieu of the issuance of Class A limited partnership units. Each Class B limited partnership unit is convertible only with the approval of the Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion. If all of the Class A and B limited partnership units were converted, the limited partners in the Partnership would receive 4,025,225 Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements of the Partnership, InnSuites Hotels and Yuma Hospitality LP are consolidated with the Trust, and all significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended April 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended January 31, 2007. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A as of and for the year ended January 31, 2006.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The accounting policies that the Trust believes are most critical and involve the most subjective judgments include estimates and assumptions of future revenue and expenditures used to project cash flows. Future cash flows are used to determine the recoverability (or impairment) of the carrying values of the Trust’s assets in the event management is required to test an asset for recoverability of carrying value under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows over its estimated remaining life, the Trust recognizes an impairment expense to reduce the asset’s carrying value to its fair value. Fair value is determined by either the most current third-party property appraisal, if available, or the present value of future undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the asset. The Trust’s evaluation of future cash flows is based on historical experience and other factors, including certain economic conditions and committed future bookings. The estimated future cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about expected future operating performance and may differ from actual cash flows.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Room, food and beverage, telecommunications, management and licensing fees and other revenue are recognized as earned as services are provided and items are sold. Payroll reimbursements are recorded as personnel services are provided and are not netted with the corresponding payroll expense.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share have been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the periods and potentially dilutive securities.

For the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005, there were Class A and Class B limited partnership units outstanding, which are convertible to Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust. Assuming conversion, the aggregate weighted-average of these Shares of Beneficial Interest would be 4,032,953 and 4,537,841 for the first three months of fiscal year 2007 and 2006, respectively.

For the three months ended April 30, 2005, 232,600 stock options are not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect because the option exercise prices were higher than the average market price of the Trust’s Shares of Beneficial Interest. As of April 30, 2006, the Trust has no stock options outstanding. During the second quarter of fiscal year of 2006, the Trust accepted the voluntary surrender of all outstanding stock options. The options were surrendered in order to reduce costs and simplify the Trust’s reporting and compliance obligations to the Securities and Exchange Commission and the American Stock Exchange. The Trust made no payments to the holders of the options for their surrender. The Trust has no obligation, explicit or implied, for the surrender of the options, including but not limited to the reissuance of options at some time in the future.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2004, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) was issued. This Statement is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. This Statement establishes standards for accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity securities for goods and services. The Trust adopted this Statement during fiscal year 2006.


5


During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Trust issued 99,300 restricted shares to its Trustees, Officers and other key employees with a total fair value of $134,055. Fair value was calculated using the closing share price on the date of the grant. The shares were issued from the Trust’s treasury stock. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Trust recognized expense on these shares totaling $22,815. As of April 30, 2006, total unrecognized expense related to unvested stock awards totals $80,028, which will be recognized evenly over the next eight months. The following table summarizes restricted share activity during the three months ended April 30, 2006:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the InnSuites Hospitality Trust unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

The Trust owns the sole general partner’s interest in the Partnership. The Trust’s principal source of cash flows is the operations of the Hotels and management and licensing contracts held with affiliated and third-party hotels outside the Trust.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2004, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) was issued. This Statement is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. This Statement establishes standards for accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity securities for goods and services. The Trust adopted this Statement during fiscal year 2006.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The expenses of the Trust consist primarily of property taxes, insurance, corporate overhead, interest on mortgage debt, professional fees, depreciation of the Hotels and hotel operating expenses. The operating performance of the Trust 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 total number of rooms available, is appropriate for understanding revenue from the Hotels. Occupancy improved to 83.5%, an increase of 4.9% from the prior year period. ADR decreased $0.30 to $79.02 from $79.32 in the prior year period. REVPAR increased $3.67 to $66.02 from $62.35 in the prior year period due to the increased occupancy.

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

Total Trust revenue was $6.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2006, a decrease of $61,000, or 0.9%, from the prior year total.  Revenues from hotel operations, which include Room, Food and Beverage, Telecommunications and Other revenues, decreased 5.7% to $5.4 million from $5.8 million when comparing the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, primarily due to the disposition of the Phoenix, Arizona property during the second quarter of fiscal year 2006.

Total expenses decreased $489,000, or 7.9%, to $5.7 million from $6.2 million when comparing the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005. Total operating expenses decreased $427,000, or 7.5%, to $5.2 million from $5.7 million for three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decreases in these totals is primarily due to the disposition of the Phoenix, Arizona hotel, which was partially offset by higher payroll expenses relating to management contracts with hotels outside the Trust.

General and administrative expenses decreased $406,000, or 32.3%, to $850,000 from $1.3 million when comparing the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This is primarily due to accounting and legal fees incurred in fiscal year 2006 relating to amendments to certain of the Trust’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reduced bad debt expense due to improved receivable collections in fiscal year 2007, and the disposition of the Phoenix, Arizona hotel in the prior year.

Total interest expense was $442,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2006, a decrease of $61,000, or 12.2%, from the prior year period total of $503,000. The decrease was primarily due to the disposition of the Phoenix, Arizona property, which had incurred $67,000 of mortgage interest expense during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Through its ownership interest in the Partnership, Yuma Hospitality LP and InnSuites Hotels, the Trust has its 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. The Trust’s principal source of cash to meet its cash requirements, including distributions to its shareholders, is its share of these cash flows. The Trust’s liquidity, including its ability to make distributions to its shareholders, will depend upon the ability to generate sufficient cash flows from Hotel operations.

The Trust has principal of $661,262 due and payable for the remainder of fiscal year 2007 under mortgage notes payable. For the twelve months between May 1, 2006 and April 30, 2007, the Trust has principal of $896,300 due and payable under mortgage notes payable. The Trust anticipates that cash flows from operations will be sufficient to satisfy these obligations as they become due.

The Trust has no principal due and payable in fiscal year 2007 under notes and advances payable to Wirth and his affiliates. The Trust had $400,000 due to Rare Earth Financial, L.L.C., an affiliate of Wirth, in March 2006. The Trust satisfied this note using the line of credit established with Rare Earth Financial in March 2006. For the twelve months between May 1, 2006 and April 30, 2007, the Trust has no principal due and payable under notes payable to Wirth and his affiliates.

The Trust’s bank line of credit was scheduled to mature on May 31, 2006. The Trust has extended the maturity date on the line of credit through May 30, 2007. As of April 30, 2006, there were no draws under the bank line of credit and $500,000 was available for future draws.

The Trust may seek to negotiate additional credit facilities or issue debt instruments. Any debt incurred or issued by the Trust may be secured or unsecured, long-term, medium-term or short-term, bear interest at a fixed or variable rate and be subject to such other terms as the Trust considers prudent.

The Trust continues 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 five of the Trust’s properties. As of April 30, 2006, $300,826 was held in restricted capital expenditure funds and is included on the Trust’s 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 three months ended April 30, 2006, the Hotels spent approximately $400,714 for capital expenditures. The Trust considers the majority of these improvements to be revenue producing. Therefore, these amounts have been capitalized and are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The Hotels also spent approximately $338,439 during the three months ended April 30, 2006 on repairs and maintenance and these amounts have been charged to expense as incurred.

As of April 30, 2006, the Trust has no commitments for capital expenditures beyond the 4% reserve for refurbishment and replacements set aside annually for each hotel property.

The Trust may acquire or develop additional hotels only as suitable opportunities arise, and the Trust will not undertake acquisition or redevelopment of properties unless adequate sources of financing are available. Funds for future acquisitions or development of hotels are expected to be derived, in whole or in part, from borrowings or from the proceeds of additional issuances of Shares of Beneficial Interest or other securities. However, there can be no assurance that the Trust will successfully acquire or develop additional hotels.

FUTURE POSITIONING

The Trust’s management has identified condo-hotel conversions as a potential opportunity for the Trust. The conversion concept has become increasingly popular throughout the country, and may have the potential to eclipse time-share or fractional ownership as the preferred vacation, second or third home ownership vehicle. The Trust, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, InnSuites Hotels, is currently evaluating the potential for condo-hotel ownership primarily for its Arizona locations. If the Trust determines this concept to be feasible for its current hotel properties, the Trust may realize condominium sales revenue and revenue from long-term management and trademark agreements with potential homeowners’ associations and/or future condominium owners.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCINGS AND LIABILITIES

Other than lease commitments, legal contingencies incurred in the normal course of business and an employment contract with Wirth, the Trust does not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities. The Trust does 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 the Trust’s 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 the Trust’s hotel business. To the extent that cash flows from operations are insufficient during any quarter, because of temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, the Trust may utilize other cash on hand or borrowings to make distributions to its shareholders or to meet operating needs. No assurance can be given that the Trust will make distributions in the future.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this Form 10-Q, including statements containing the phrases “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “predicts,” “should be,” “looking ahead,” “may” or similar words, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Trust intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created by such Acts. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Trust, its Trustees or its officers in respect of (i) the declaration or payment of dividends; (ii) the leasing, management or operation of the Hotels; (iii) the adequacy of reserves for renovation and refurbishment; (iv) the Trust’s financing plans; (v) the Trust’s position regarding investments, acquisitions, developments, financings, conflicts of interest and other matters; (vi) the Trust’s plans and expectations regarding condo-hotel conversions; and (vii) trends affecting the Trust’s or any Hotel’s financial condition or results of operations.

These forward-looking statements reflect the Trust’s current views in respect of future events and financial performance, but are subject to many uncertainties and factors relating to the operations and business environment of the Hotels which may cause the actual results of the Trust to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Examples of such uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

 fluctuations in hotel occupancy rates;
 changes in room rental rates which may be charged by InnSuites Hotels in response to market rental rate changes or otherwise;
 seasonality of our business;
 interest rate fluctuations;
 changes in governmental regulations, including federal income tax laws and regulations;
 competition;
 any changes in the Trust’s financial condition or operating results due to acquisitions or dispositions of hotel properties;
 insufficient resources to pursue our current growth strategy;
 concentration of our investments in the InnSuites Hotels® brand;
 loss of franchise contracts;
 real estate and hospitality market conditions;
 hospitality industry factors;
 our ability to meet present and future debt service obligations;
 terrorist attacks or other acts of war;

10


 outbreaks of communicable diseases;
 natural disasters;
 loss of key personnel;
 local or national economic and business conditions, including, without limitation, conditions which may affect public securities markets generally, the hospitality industry or the markets in which the Trust operates or will operate; and
 uncertainties the Trust might encounter in changing from a real estate investment trust to a tax-paying entity.

The Trust does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Pursuant to Section 21E(b)(2)(E) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the qualifications set forth hereinabove are inapplicable to any forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q relating to the operations of the Partnership.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Trust is exposed to interest rate risk primarily as a result of its mortgage notes payable, notes payable to banks and other notes payable. Proceeds from these loans were used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures and expand the Trust’s real estate investment portfolio and operations.

The Trust’s interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve its objectives, the Trust borrows using fixed rate debt, when possible. There have been no significant changes in the Trust’s debt structure during the three months ended April 30, 2006.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Trust conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Trust in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.  There was no change in the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting during the Trust’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting.
