Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation	1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION As of October 31, 2016, InnSuites Hospitality Trust (the “Trust,” “we” or “our”) owns interests directly and through a partnership interest in four hotels with an aggregate of 575 suites in Arizona, southern California and New Mexico (the “Hotels”). The Hotels operate under the trade name “InnSuites Hotels.” 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 number 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. All of our other properties are full service hotels. The Trust is the sole general partner of RRF Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and owned a 72.11% interest in the Partnership as of October 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016, respectively. The Trust’s weighted average ownership for the nine-month period ended October 31, 2016 and 2015 was 72.11%. As of October 31, 2016, the Partnership owned a 51.01% interest in an InnSuites® hotel located in Tucson, Arizona and a 51.33% interest in an InnSuites® hotel located in Ontario, California. The Trust owns a direct 50.24% interest in a Yuma, Arizona hotel property, and a direct 50.91% interest in an InnSuites® hotel located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Under certain management agreements, InnSuites Hotels Inc. (“InnSuites Hotels”), 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. InnDependent Boutique Collection (“IBC Hotels” or “IBC Developments”), a wholly owned subsidiary of InnSuites Hospitality Trust, has a network of approximately 6,500 unrelated hotel properties and provides revenue generating services and cost savings solutions to independent boutique hotels. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014, IBC Hotels formed a marketing alliance with the Independent Lodging Industry Association (“ILIA”). 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 October 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016, 276,131 Class A Partnership units were issued and outstanding, representing 2.09% of the total Partnership units. Additionally, as of both October 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016, 3,407,938 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 October 31, 2016, the limited partners in the Partnership would receive 3,684,069 Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust. As of October 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016, the Trust owns 9,527,448 general partner units in the Partnership, representing 72.11% of the total Partnership units. LIQUIDITY 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 and Ontario, California properties. 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. As of October 31, 2016, the Trust had a related party Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note with an amount payable of approximately $0. The Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note has a maximum borrowing capacity to $1,000,000, which is available through December 31, 2017. As of December 12, 2016, the outstanding net balance receivable on the Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note was $0. As of October 31, 2016, the Trust had two available Advances to Affiliate credit facilities each with a maximum borrowing capacity of $500,000 for a total maximum borrowing capacity of $1,000,000. As of October 31, 2016, the Trust had an amount payable of approximately $426,000 on one of the Advances to Affiliates credit facility and an amount receivable of approximately $116,000 on the other Advances to Affiliates credit facility. Both the Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note and the Advances to Affiliate credit facilities accrues interest at 7.0% per annum and requires interest only payments quarterly. With approximately $496,000 of cash and cash equivalents as of October 31, 2016 and the availability of a $1,000,000 related party Demand/Revolving Line of Credit/Promissory Note, $1,000,000 Advances to Affiliates credit facilities and the availability of the two unsecured loans of $475,000 provided on December 2, 2016, 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. The results for the period ended October 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending January 31, 2017 or any future period. BASIS OF PRESENTATION These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “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, 2016, as filed on our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 29, 2016. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on April 29, 2016. The results for the period ended October 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending January 31, 2017 or any future period. 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. Therefore, the financial statements of the Partnership and InnSuites Hotels are consolidated with the Trust, and all significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. 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 has 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 July 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, therefore such sale is no longer considered probable. The Trust continues to list these properties with local real estate hotel brokers and, we believe, that each of the assets is being marketed at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. There have been no other material changes to our basis of presentation since January 31, 2016. SEASONALITY OF THE HOTEL BUSINESS 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 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. 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. 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. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE Since July 31, 2016, no significant recently issued accounting guidance exists that is material to the Trust. Management continues to monitor and review recently issued accounting guidance upon issuance.
