Sale of IBC Hospitality Technologies; IBC Hotels LLC (IBC)
On August 15, 2018 InnSuites Hospitality Trust (IHT) entered into a sale agreement of its technology subsidiary, IBC Hotels LLC (IBC), to an unrelated third-party buyer (Buyer). As a part of the amended sale agreement, the Trust received a secured promissory note adjusted to the principal amount of $1,925,000 with interest to be accrued at 3.75% per annum, which is recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in continuing operations, which was subsequently adjusted to 3.25%, due in 2030.
IHT Management believes this option to buy at cost could prove to be a valuable asset of RRF, and eventually IHT in the future, if expansion of IBC is successful in the years ahead.
Rare Earth Financial LLC (REF), an affiliate majority-owned by our Chairman, President and CEO, James Wirth, entered into an agreement with the Obasa Group of Companies, on March 5, 2025, to purchase 102037739 Saskatchewan Ltd, and its subsidiary IBC. RRF LLLP, a subsidiary of IHT, agreed to become the Management Company of IBC, in an effort to rekindle earlier operations that were partially successful, until the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020. The Note Payable to IHT was extended until June 30, 2030, with interest to be paid at 3.25%. REF intends to make interest payments potentially due in Fiscal Year 2027 (February 1, 2026 to January 31, 2027). As part of the Management Agreement, RRF obtained a five-year option to purchase IBC at the net cost of REF. If the rekindling of IBC is successful, this option could prove to be a valuable asset of IHT in the future.
As of July 31, 2026, management evaluated the carrying value of the note and determined no further impairment is needed at this time.
