Highlight of Business 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 61.76% for the nine months ended October 31, 2011, an increase of 7.2% from the prior year same period. ADR decreased $0.57, or 0.80%, to $70.84. The moderate decrease in ADR and increased occupancy resulted in an increase of $4.84, or 12.45%, in REVPAR to $43.75 from $38.90 in the prior year period. We believe the increase in occupancy is due to the moderately improving trend in our economy, which caused more vacation and business travelers.

For the nine months ended October 31, 2011, our total revenue was $12.7 million, an increase of $926,000, or 7.9%, compared with the prior year period total of $11.8 million. Revenues from hotel operations, which include Room, Food and Beverage, Telecommunications and Other revenues, increased 11.7% to $10.9 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2011, from $9.7 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2010. Hotel room revenue increased 12.5% while Food and Beverage operations experienced an increase of 3.0%, primarily due to higher occupancy as a result of what we believe are improving economic conditions.

For the three months ended October 31, 2011, our total revenue was $3.6 million, an increase of $311,000, or 9.3%, compared with the prior year period total of $3.3 million. Revenues from hotel operations, which include Room, Food and Beverage, Telecommunications and Other revenues, increased 8.5% to $3.1 million for the three months ended October 31, 2011, from $2.8 million for the three months ended October 31, 2010, due to increased occupancy at the Yuma hotel.

Total expenses were $4.3 million for the three months ended October 31, 2011, an increase of $95,000, or 2.3%, from the prior year period total of $4.2 million. Total operating expenses of $3.9 million for the three months ended October 31, 2011 increased $110,000 or 2.9% from the prior year of $3.8 million. Due to better cost control, operating expenses did not increase proportionately with revenue with the higher occupancy.

The Trust reported earnings before minority interest, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) of $1.4 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2011, as compared to $730,000 in the prior year period, an increase of $613,000, or 84%. Adjusted EBITDA was $130,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2011, as compared to $(28,000) in the prior year period, an improvement of $101,000. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides meaningful insight into the Trust s financial performance and its operating profitability before non-operating expenses (such as interest and "other" non-core expenses) and non-cash charges (depreciation and amortization).
