Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1
General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited financials should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s December 31, 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.
Organization
Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. (the “Company”), a Virginia corporation, was formed on January 17, 2001, and its first investor closing was on May 1, 2001.The Company merged with Apple Suites, Inc. on January 31, 2003 and balances are reflected accordingly. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The Company owns 66 extended stay hotels and is operated as and has annually elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). The REIT Modernization Act, effective January 1, 2001, permits a REIT to establish taxable businesses to conduct certain previously disallowed business activities. The Company has formed wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries, and has leased all of its hotels to these subsidiaries (collectively, the “Lessees”).
Stock Incentive Plans
As the exercise price of the Company’s stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock, the Company has not recognized any stock compensation expenses associated with its stock options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated after giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding for the year. Series C convertible preferred stock is included in basic and diluted earnings per common share as it is considered a common stock equivalent.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Note 2
Notes Payable

Note 3

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the ability of the Company to implement its operating strategy; the Company’s ability to manage planned growth; changes in economic cycles and competition within the extended-stay hotel industry. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore there can be no assurance that such statements included in the quarterly report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved. In addition, the Company’s qualification as a real estate investment trust involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Readers should carefully review the Company’s financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
General
Overview
The Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns upscale, extended-stay hotels. The Company was formed on January 17, 2001, with the first investor closing commencing on May 1, 2001. The Company owns 66 hotels in selected markets throughout the United States. The performance of the Company’s hotels can be influenced by many factors, including local hotel competition, local and national economic conditions and the performance of the individual managers assigned to its hotels. In evaluating financial condition and operating performance, the Company focuses on revenue measurements such as occupancy, average daily rate (ADR) and revenue per available room (RevPAR) and expenses such as hotel operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and other expenses described below.
During the first nine months of 2005, the Company experienced improvements in operations as compared to the first nine months of 2004. Better economic conditions in many of its markets and completion of hotel renovations in 2004 led to an increase in RevPAR by 5% over the prior year.

Related Party Transactions
The Company has significant transactions with related parties. These transactions cannot be construed to be arm’s length and the results of the Company’s operations could be different if these transactions were conducted with non-related parties.
Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, the Company has an advisory agreement with Apple Hospitality Five Advisors, Inc. (“AFA”) whereby the Company receives advisory fee revenue equal to .1% to .25% of total equity contributions received by Apple Hospitality Five, Inc., plus certain reimbursable expenses in exchange for providing day to day advisory and real estate due diligence services for Apple Hospitality Five, Inc. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company earned advisory fee revenue in the amount of approximately $559,000 and $543,000, respectively, under this agreement. AFA is 100% owned by Mr. Glade M. Knight, the Company’s Chairman and CEO.
The Company also provides support services to Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (“A6A”), Apple Hospitality Five, Inc. and Apple REIT Six, Inc. A6A provides day to day advisory and real estate due diligence services to Apple REIT Six, Inc. Each of these companies has agreed to reimburse the Company for its costs in providing these services. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, the Company earned $1,557,000 and $466,000 respectively. The Company started providing these services in the second quarter of 2004.
A6A is 100% owned by Mr. Knight and he also serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Apple Hospitality Five, Inc., a hospitality REIT, and Apple REIT Six Inc., a diversified REIT. The Company also has substantially the same Board of Directors as Apple Hospitality Five, Inc. and Apple REIT Six, Inc.
Results of Operations
The Company’s financial results for the first nine months of 2005 were improved as compared to the same period in 2004. The improvement is due primarily to the completion of the Company’s major renovation program in mid-2004 and general economic improvements in the industry. The Company anticipates favorable results as compared to 2004 throughout 2005. However, as the Company is renovating four hotels in 2005 and since general economic conditions cannot be projected, there can be no assurances that the improvements will continue.
Revenues
The Company’s principal source of revenue is hotel suite revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company had total revenue of approximately $61.8 million and $58.8 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the company achieved an ADR of $102 as compared to $96 in 2004 and RevPAR was $83 and $79. For the full nine months of 2005, ADR was $100 as compared to $95 in 2004 and RevPAR was $78 as compared to $74. ADR, or average daily rate, is calculated as room revenue divided by number of rooms sold, and RevPAR, or revenue per available room, is calculated as occupancy multiplied by ADR. The improvement for these periods is due to overall improvement in the hospitality industry and the substantial completion of the Company’s major renovation project. Occupancy was down slightly during the third quarter from 82% to 81% due primarily to rooms out of service associated with three hotel renovations. Year-to-date occupancy is flat at 78%. As the Company focuses on maximizing ADR, it is not anticipated that average occupancy will rise significantly from its current level.
Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, hotel direct expenses totaled $37.0 million or 60% of total revenue and $33.9 million or 58% of total revenue. This increase was due in part to the increase in incentive fees paid to the hotel management companies which resulted from improved operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, hotel direct expenses totaled $103.9 million or 60% of total revenue and $97.0 million or 60% of total revenue.
12
Taxes, insurance and other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $3.7 million or 6% of total revenue and $4.2 million or 7% of total revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, taxes, insurance and other expense was approximately $10.7 million or 6% of total revenue and $11.6 million or 7% of total revenue. The decline is due to the improved insurance rates and property tax assessments negotiated by the Company.
General and administrative expense (“G&A”) for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $404,000 or 1% of total revenue and $565,000 or 1% of total revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, G&A was approximately $1.6 million or 1% of total revenue.
Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $6.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, depreciation expense was $19.3 million and $18.3 million. Depreciation expense represents expense of the Company’s 66 hotels and related personal property. The increase is a result of the major renovation project completed by the Company in 2004.
Interest expense was $6.8 million and $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. For the full nine months of 2005, interest expense was $20.5 million as compared to $20.7 million for 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $0.6 million at September 30, 2005 and $13.1 million at December 31, 2004. The Company plans to use this cash to pay debt service and general corporate expenses. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is due to the partial repayment of the Company’s revolving line of credit as well as capital improvements, redemptions and distributions.
The cash flow generated from the properties owned is the Company’s principal source of liquidity. In addition, the Company had approximately $12.7 million available under its revolving line of credit at September 30, 2005.
Equity
During 2003, the Company instituted a Unit Redemption Program to provide limited interim liquidity to the Company’s shareholders. Redemption of Units, when requested, is made quarterly on a first-come, first-serve basis. Shareholders may request redemption of Units for a purchase price equal to the lesser of: (1) the purchase price per unit that the shareholder actually paid for the unit (or the price that the shareholder actually paid for the Apple Suites, Inc. common shares, if the Units were acquired through the exchange of Apple Suites, Inc. common shares in the Company’s merger with Apple Suites, Inc.); or (2) $10.00 per unit. The Company reserves the right to change the purchase price of redemptions, reject any request for redemption, or otherwise amend the terms of, suspend, or terminate the Unit Redemption Program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company redeemed 696,606 Units in the amount of $6,936,483 under the program. The Company currently plans to redeem shares to the extent of proceeds received from the dividend reinvestment plan.
Effective February 20, 2004, the Company instituted a dividend reinvestment plan to its shareholders. The plan provides a convenient and cost effective way to increase shareholder investment in the Company by reinvesting dividends to purchase additional Units of the Company. The uses of the proceeds from this plan may include purchasing Units under the Company’s Unit Redemption Program, enhancing properties, satisfying financing obligations and other expenses, increasing working capital, funding various corporate operations, and acquiring extended-stay hotels. During the first nine months of 2005, approximately 702,251 Units were issued under the dividend reinvestment plan representing proceeds to the Company of approximately $7.0 million.
13
During the second quarter of 2005, the Company engaged UBS Investment Bank to assist in reviewing and evaluating various strategic alternatives for the Company. Those alternatives include a possible sale of the Company, merger or listing. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will initiate or complete any of these strategic alternatives.
Notes Payable
The Company’s $16 million short-term credit facility that was secured by two properties and had an outstanding balance of $11 million at March 31, 2005, was refinanced with a two-year facility in April 2005. The new facility is a $15 million revolving line of credit with the other terms substantially the same as the prior agreement. At September 30, 2005, the outstanding balance was approximately $2.3 million.
Capital Requirements and Resources
The Company’s distribution policy is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and depends on several factors. The quarterly distribution rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 was at a rate of $0.20 per unit outstanding. Distributions to shareholders will depend on income from operations. As a result there can be no assurance that income from operations will be sufficient to fund distributions at historic levels.
The Company has ongoing capital commitments to fund its capital improvements. Through the Lessees, the Company is required, under all management agreements with the Manager, to make available to the Lessees, for the repair, replacement, refurbishing of furniture, fixtures, and equipment, an amount of at least 5% of total revenues provided that such amount may be used for its capital expenditures with respect to the hotels.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company capitalized approximately $5.8 million and $21.2 million, respectively, in capital improvements to the properties. The decline in capital expenditures from 2004 is due to the decrease in the number of renovations performed by the Company. The Company has started the renovation of four hotels in 2005 and anticipates the costs of these renovations to exceed the furniture and fixture escrows by approximately $2-3 million which will be funded by cash on hand and availability under the Company’s revolving credit facility.
The Company believes its liquidity and capital resources are adequate to meet its cash requirements for the foreseeable future. Although there can be no assurance, the Company believes its investment in renovations and improved economic conditions will allow the Company’s cash from operations to meet its planned distributions.
Impact of Inflation
Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. Competitive pressures may, however, limit the operators’ ability to raise room rates. Currently the Company is not experiencing any material impact from inflation.
Seasonality
The hotel industry historically has been seasonal in nature. Seasonal variations in occupancy at its hotels may cause quarterly fluctuations in its revenues. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, the Company may have to reduce distributions.
14
Business Interruption
Being in the real estate industry, the Company is exposed to natural disasters both locally and nationally, and although management believes there is adequate insurance to cover this exposure, there can be no assurance that such events will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. During the third quarter, the United States experienced several significant, destructive weather events. The Company’s assets, however, experienced minimal disruption and damage.
Subsequent Events
In October 2005, the Company declared and paid approximately $8.3 million, or $.20 per share, in a distribution to its common shareholders of record on September 30, 2005. Of this amount, $2.3 million was reinvested through the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan totaling 234,825 Units.
In October 2005, the Company redeemed Units under its share redemption program in the approximate amount of $2.3 million, representing 231,970 Units of the Company.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company does not engage in transactions in derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. As of September 30, 2005, the Company’s financial instruments were not exposed to significant market risk due to interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation process, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective and that there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
During the first quarter of 2004, the Company instituted a dividend reinvestment plan. The purpose of the plan is to provide the Company’s shareholders with a convenient and inexpensive way to increase their investment in the Company by reinvesting their dividends to purchase additional Units. As of September 30, 2005, 1,383,002 Units have been issued under the dividend reinvestment plan since inception, representing approximately $13.8 million in proceeds to the Company.
Share Redemption Program
With its initial offering the Company instituted a share redemption program to provide its shareholders who have held their Units for at least one year with the benefit of limited interim liquidity, by presenting for redemption all or any portion of their Units at any time and in accordance with certain procedures. Once this time limitation has been met, the Company may, subject to certain conditions and limitations, redeem the Units presented for redemption for cash, to the extent that the Company has sufficient funds available to fund the redemption. If Units are held for the required one-year period, the Units may be redeemed for a purchase price equal to the lesser of: (1) $10.00 per unit; or (2) the purchase price per Unit that was actually paid for the Units. The board of directors reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, to waive the one-year holding period, reject any request for redemption, change the purchase price for redemptions or otherwise amend the terms of, suspend, or terminate the share redemption program. Redemption of units, when requested, will be made quarterly on a first-come, first-served basis. Prior to the implementation of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan in the first quarter of 2004, the redemptions were funded as part of the Company’s Additional Share Option Plan. Funding for the redemption of Units will come from the proceeds the Company receives from the sale of Units under its dividend reinvestment plan. The Company’s board of directors, in its sole discretion, may choose to suspend or terminate the share redemption program or reduce the number of Units purchased under the share redemption program if it determines the funds otherwise available to fund the share redemption program are needed for other purposes. The following is a summary of redemptions during the third quarter of 2005:
