OVERVIEW
We are engaged in the ownership and operation of hotel properties. On
At
Our operations consist of one reportable segment -
Over time, we expect our

Our results are significantly affected by occupancy and room rates at the Hotels, our ability to manage costs, changes in room rates, and changes in the number of available suites caused by the Trust's disposition activities. Results are also significantly impacted by overall economic conditions and conditions in the travel industry including Covid-19 Virus economic and travel slow down. Unfavorable changes in these factors could negatively impact hotel room demand and pricing, which would reduce our profit margins on rented suites. Additionally, our ability to manage costs could be adversely impacted by significant increases in operating expenses, resulting in lower operating margins and higher hourly labor costs. Either a further increase in supply or a further decline in demand could result in increased competition, which could have an adverse effect on the rates and revenue of the Hotels in their respective markets.
We experienced weaker economic conditions during the first nine months of fiscal
year 2021
Our strategic plan is to obtain the full benefit of our real estate equity, by
marketing the Hotels at competitive prices over the next 24 months, and
benefiting from our
HOTEL OPERATIONS
Our expenses consist primarily of property taxes, insurance, corporate overhead, interest on mortgage debt, professional fees, depreciation of the Hotels and hotel operating expenses. Hotel operating expenses consist primarily of payroll, guest and maintenance supplies, marketing and utilities expenses. Under the terms of its Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is required to reimburse us for all such expenses. Accordingly, management believes that a review of the historical performance of the operations of the Hotels, particularly with respect to occupancy, which is calculated as rooms sold divided by total 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 number of rooms available, is appropriate for understanding revenue from the Hotels.
