Consolidated Net Income/Loss before non-cash depreciation expense was approximately flat, for the 2025 First Three Fiscal Quarters, ended October 31, 2024 (February 1, 2024, through October 31, 2024).
IHT hotel operations were strong in the Fiscal Year ended January 31, 2024, and the 2025 First Three Fiscal Quarters, continuing strong into November, of the current Fiscal Year. Combined Revenue has led to a record $6,531,170 for the first ten Fiscal Months of Fiscal Year 2025.

The Trailing 12-month total revenue has also seen a 5% increase from the prior 12-month period, increasing $334,849 to approximately $7.7 million.
These are all positive signs for InnSuites, as the Travel Industry, and InnSuites Hospitality Trust (IHT) specifically, continue to record strong revenue growth and improved Gross Operating Profit (GOP).
InnSuites Hospitality Trust (IHT), in late 2019, made a diversification investment in UniGen Power Inc., (UPI), developing a patented, high profit potential, efficient clean energy generation innovation. With the continued growing demand for data centers plus influx of electric cars, as well as growing needs of artificial intelligence, increased demand for electricity over the next five years is projected to approximately double. IHT holds stock, convertible bonds and warrants that, if fully exercised, could result in IHT holding an approximately up to 15-20% ownership stake in UniGen.
UniGen is currently concentrating on its next round of capital raising, which IHT may or may not participate in. UniGen is a high-risk investment offering high potential investment return if and when successful.
IHT management believes that due to real estate held on the books of IHT at book values believed to be significantly below current market value and due to the clean energy diversification high profit potential ahead, the IHT future looks bright.
IHT's strong hotel operating results are reflected in the most recent three successful, consecutive profitable Fiscal Years, even after accounting for substantial non-cash depreciation expense. IHT management is also exploring additional investment opportunities to further supplement the continued record Hotel and Diversification revenues currently being recognized.
Fiscal Year 2025 extended IHT's uninterrupted, continuous annual dividends to 54 years, since 1971 when first listed on NYSE, with semi-annual dividends paid February 5, 2024, and July 31, 2024.
