Item 4.01               Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On April 4, 2005, InnSuites Hospitality Trust (the “Trust”) engaged Epstein, Weber & Conover, P.L.C. to act as the Trust’s principal independent accountant to audit the Trust’s financial statements.  The decision to engage the new accountants was recommended and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust.

 

During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2005 and 2004, and during all subsequent interim periods prior to April 4, 2005, the Trust did not consult Epstein, Weber & Conover, P.L.C. regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Trust’s financial statements or any matter that was the subject of a disagreement with its former accountants or a reportable event as those terms are defined in Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
