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, 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.
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 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
At March 31, 2006, the Company owned 64 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
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and elected the modified prospective transition method. Accordingly, no prior year amounts have been restated. Statement 123 (R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in Statement 123 (R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123 (R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The adoption of this statement is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. The Company did not make any share based payments in the first quarter of 2006 or have any unvested options outstanding at the beginning of the period. Therefore, no share-based expense was recorded during the three months ending March 31, 2006.
Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated after giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding for the period. Series C convertible preferred stock is included in basic and diluted earnings per common share as it is considered a common stock equivalent.
6
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.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2005 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in order to conform to the 2006 presentation with no effect on previously reported shareholders’ equity or net income.
Note 2
Shareholders’ Equity
During 2003, the Company instituted a Unit Redemption Program to provide limited interim liquidity to its shareholders. Redemption of Units, when requested, is made quarterly on a first-come, first-served 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 three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company redeemed 257,634 Units in the amount of $2.6 million under the program.
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 three months ended March 31, 2006, 235,000 Units were issued under the dividend reinvestment plan, representing $2.4 million in proceeds to the Company.
Note 3

(“AFA”) whereby the Company receives advisory fee revenue equal to 0.1% to 0.25% of total equity contributions received by Apple Hospitality Five, Inc., plus certain reimbursable expenses in exchange for Company personnel performing advisory and real estate acquisition due diligence for Apple Hospitality Five, Inc.

Note 4
Discontinued Operations
The Company classified two hotels as held for sale at December 31, 2005 and recorded an estimated loss on the sale of the hotels of $3.4 million in 2005. The estimated loss was based on the anticipated sales proceeds and the net book value of the properties. The Company completed the sale of these hotels in the first quarter of 2006.
The results of operations from the hotels classified as held for sale at December 31, 2005 are recognized as discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.

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 64 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 three months of 2006, the Company experienced improvements in operations as compared to the first three months of 2005. Better economic conditions in many of its markets led to an increase in RevPAR by 9% over the prior year. During the first quarter of 2006, the Company completed the sale of two of its Residence Inn properties. The results of these properties while owned by the Company in 2006, have been included in discontinued operations. Results for the same period in 2005 have also been reported in discontinued operations.

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.

(“AFA”) whereby the Company receives advisory fee revenue equal to 0.1% to 0.25% of total equity contributions received by Apple Hospitality Five, Inc., plus certain reimbursable expenses in exchange for Company personnel performing advisory and real estate acquisition due diligence for Apple Hospitality Five, Inc. AFA is 100% owned by Mr. Glade M. Knight, the Company’s Chairman and CEO. For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company earned advisory fee revenue of approximately $186,000 and $187,000, under this agreement. These amounts are included in other revenue.
The Company also provides support services to Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. (“ASRG”), Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (“A6A”), Apple REIT Six, Inc., Apple Seven Advisors, Inc. (“A7A”) and Apple REIT Seven, Inc. A6A provides day to day advisory and real estate due diligence services to Apple REIT Six, Inc. A7A provides day to day advisory and real estate due diligence services to Apple REIT Seven, Inc. ASRG, A6A and A7A are 100% owned by Mr. Knight. ASRG provides real estate brokerage services to Apple Hospitality Five, Inc., Apple REIT Six, Inc. and Apple REIT Seven, Inc. Each of these companies has agreed to reimburse the Company for its costs in providing these services. For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company received reimbursement of its costs totaling approximately $628,000 and $418,000. Mr. Knight is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Apple Hospitality Five, Inc., a hospitality REIT, Apple REIT Six Inc., a diversified REIT, and Apple REIT Seven, Inc. (a newly organized company which is proposed to be a diversified REIT). Additionally, the Company’s Board of Directors has members that are also on the Board of Directors of Apple Hospitality Five, Inc., Apple REIT Six, Inc., or Apple REIT Seven, Inc.
Results of Operations
The Company’s financial results for the first three months of 2006 were improved as compared to the same period in 2005. The improvement is due primarily to general economic improvements in the industry. The Company anticipates continued improvement in 2006. However, as the Company will continue to selectively renovate hotels 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 March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had total hotel revenue from continuing operations of approximately $58.3 million and $53.2 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the company had an occupancy rate of 76% and achieved an ADR of $107 as compared to 75% occupancy and $99 ADR for the same period in 2005. RevPAR for the 2006 period was $81 as compared to $74 in 2005. 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. As the Company continues to aggressively manage its room rates to maximize revenue, it is not anticipated that average occupancy will rise significantly from its current level.
12
Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, hotel operating expenses from continuing operations totaled $34.1 million or 59% of total hotel revenue and $32.4 million or 61% of total hotel revenue. This decrease as a percentage of revenue was due primarily to the improved ADR.
Taxes, insurance and other expense from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $3.8 million or 7% of hotel revenue and $3.5 million, also 7% of hotel revenue.
General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $643,000 or 1% of hotel revenue and $438,000 or 1% of hotel revenue.
In 2005 the Company engaged UBS Investment Bank to assist in reviewing and evaluating various strategic alternatives for the Company. These alternatives include a possible sale of the Company, merger or listing on an exchange. In connection with these activities, the Company incurred $20,000 in expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2006. The Company cannot provide any assurances that it will initiate or complete any of the strategic alternatives.
Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $6.8 million and $6.3 million. Depreciation expense represents expense of the Company’s 64 hotels and related personal property.
Interest expense was $6.7 million and $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. In the first quarter of 2006, the Company capitalized interest of $128,000 associated with a current renovation program.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Requirements and Resources
The cash flow generated from the properties owned is the Company’s principal source of liquidity. In addition, the Company had approximately $12.2 million available under its revolving line of credit at March 31, 2006.
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 months ended March 31, 2006 was at a rate of $0.20 per unit outstanding, which is paid quarterly. 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. The Company is required, under all management agreements with the Manager, to make available, 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 three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company capitalized approximately $5.7 million and $1.7 million in capital improvements to the properties. The increase in capital expenditures from 2005 is due to hotel renovations initiated by the Company.
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.

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 three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company redeemed 257,634 Units in the amount of $2.6 million under the program. The Company currently plans to redeem units 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 three months of 2006, approximately 235,000 Units were issued under the dividend reinvestment plan representing proceeds to the Company of approximately $2.4 million.
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 on an exchange. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will initiate or complete any of these strategic alternatives.
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 or borrow on its line of credit.
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.
14
Subsequent Events
In April 2006, the Company declared and paid approximately $8.3 million, or $.20 per share, in a distribution to its common shareholders of record on March 22, 2006. Of this amount, approximately $2.4 million was reinvested through the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan totaling 235,211 Units.
In April 2006, the Company redeemed Units under its Unit redemption program in the approximate amount of $2.0 million, representing 196,256 Units of the Company.
15
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 March 31, 2006, 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
Unit Redemption Program
With its initial offering the Company instituted a unit 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 unit redemption program. Redemption of units, when requested, will be made quarterly on a first-come, first-served basis. 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 following is a summary of redemptions during the first quarter of 2006:
