Positioned for the Future
Over the past two years, the travel and hospitality industries have been challenged by the uncertain economy and world events. The Trust has responded to these events with aggressive cost-cutting measures which, when combined with sales initiatives, have helped the Trust to somewhat mitigate the economic impact of these events. As a step to reduce losses, the Trust sold the Scottsdale InnSuites hotel on March 21, 2003 at its appraised value of $3.1 million. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003, the Scottsdale hotel accounted for $632,000 of the loss attributable to Shares of Beneficial Interest, or $(0.31) per basic share. The buyer was an affiliate of James Wirth, President of the Trust. Although the Trust does expect a modest pickup in the economy and in travel in the coming year, nevertheless, the Trust is taking additional steps to cut costs and improve stability.
