PHOENIX, AZ, Oct. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Innsuites Hospitality Trust (NYSE American IHT). Effective October 24, 2018, Innsuites Hospitality Trust (the “Trust”) completed the sale of its InnSuites Yuma Hotel and Suites Best Western (the “Yuma Hotel”) for $16.050 million. The Trust will recognize a significant profit after transactional costs, including the paying off total debt of approximately $5.6 million. The Trust’s estimated basis in the Yuma Hotel is approximately $4.6 million.
As previously reported on August 1, 2018, the Trust sold its IBC Technology division (“IBC”) for net expected proceeds of approximately $2.75 million. The Trust held IBC at an estimated net book value of approximately $400,000, and the sale of IBC is expected to result in another significant profit to the Trust.
Management believes that for an extended period of time the average market price of the Trust’s shares have been significantly below the true underlying value of cash, receivables, net real estate equity at market value, other net assets and goodwill. The Board of Trustees intends to meet soon to consider future strategies for the Trust.
