IHT FIRST FISCAL HALF REVENUES INCREASE
Phoenix, AZ, Sept. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — InnSuites Hospitality Trust (NYSE American: IHT) reported a continuation of improved results in the First Fiscal Half of 2024, (February 1, 2023, to July 31, 2023), with Total Revenues up $91,882, at $3,927,084. Total Consolidated First Fiscal Half Net Income was $531,825.
Consolidated Net Income before non-cash depreciation expense was $866,611 for the 2024 First Fiscal Half ended July 31, 2023 (February 1, 2023, through July 31, 2023).
Net Income Attributable to Controlling Interests for the First Fiscal Half was $245,661. This represents seven consecutive Profitable Quarters dating back to Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2022 (November 1, 2021, through January 31, 2022).
Earnings Per Share based on Net Income Attributable to Controlling Interest amount was $0.03, flat from the prior year.
InnSuites Hospitality Trust (IHT), in late 2019, made a diversification investment in new development privately held UniGen Power, Inc. (UniGen), developing a high risk, high profit potential, efficient clean electricity energy generation innovation. The UniGen design is fueled not only with abundant relatively clean natural gas but also with other even cleaner fuels such as ethanol and hydrogen (that emits only water). IHT holds stock, convertible bonds, and warrants that, when fully converted/exercised, could result in IHT holding up to an approximate 25% ownership stake in UniGen. UniGen has confirmed that prototype design engineering for the UPI 1000TA engine is now complete, with most of the parts and tooling having been ordered.
UniGen management indicates progress on firming up the next round of financing.
IHT management believes that due to real estate held at book values believed to be significantly below current market value and due to the high risk, but also high diversification UniGen profit potential ahead, the IHT future looks bright. In management’s opinion, IHT stock is undervalued.
Fiscal Year 2024 extended IHT’s uninterrupted, continuous annual dividends to 53 years, since 1971, with semi-annual dividends paid February 1, 2023, and July 31, 2023.
