PART III NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
On January 20, 2005, InnSuites Hospitality Trust (the Trust) received written notice, dated January 17, 2005, from McGladrey & Pullen, LLP (McGladrey) that McGladrey had resigned as the Trusts principal independent accountant. Prior to resigning, McGladrey determined that the Trust would need to restate its Annual Report on From 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 since the Trust did not properly classify the results of operations of hotel properties that were sold but in which the Trust has continuing involvement. On April 4, 2005, the Trust engaged Epstein, Weber & Conover, P.L.C. (EWC) to act as the Trusts principal independent accountants and to perform the audit for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005.
The Trust respectfully represents that due to the resignation of its principal independent accountants and the subsequent engagement of EWC on April 4, 2005 (less than a month prior to the due date for its Form 10-K) and the need to resolve certain accounting issues and prepare and file its amended Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004, the Trust is unable to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 without unreasonable effort or expense by May 2, 2005.
The Trust represents that its Annual Report on Form 10-K will be filed no later than the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date of May 1, 2005.

The Trust expects to report that its financial results for fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 have improved as compared to its financial results for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004. The Trust currently estimates that Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Shares of Beneficial Interest will improve from $(2,594,317) to $459,371 for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively, and that Net Income (Loss) Per Share - Basic and Diluted will improve from $(1.27) per share to $0.19 per share for the same respective periods. The expected improvement in the financial performance of the Trust is primarily due to the disposal of under-performing hotels and improvements in the business and leisure travel industries. |
