PART I
This Annual 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 Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. (“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 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 this Annual 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 and Item 1A.
Item 1. Business
Apple Hospitality Two, Inc., a Virginia corporation, was formed on January 17, 2001, with the first investor closing on May 1, 2001. The Company merged with Apple Suites, Inc. on January 31, 2003 and results of Apple Suites operations are included in the Company’s results from February 1, 2003.
The Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns extended-stay hotels. The REIT Modernization Act, effective January 1, 2001, permits REIT’s to establish taxable businesses to conduct certain previously disallowed business activities. The Company has wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries (collectively, the “Lessees”), which lease all of the Company’s hotels from wholly-owned qualified REIT subsidiaries. The hotels are operated and managed by affiliates of either Marriott or Hilton under hotel management agreements.
Website Access
The address of the Company’s Internet website iswww.applehospitality.com. The Company makes available free of charge, through its Internet website, its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company electronically files such material with, or furnishes it to, the SEC.
Business Objectives
The Company’s primary objective is to enhance shareholder value by increasing funds from operations and cash available for distributions. The Company seeks to increase operating cash flow and enhance its value through internal growth and renovations. The Company’s internal growth strategy is to utilize its asset management expertise to improve the quality of its hotels by aggressively managing its room rates, renovating, redeveloping, partnering with industry leaders in hotel management and franchising its hotels with leading brands in the industry. All of these factors can improve hotel operational performance and customer satisfaction, which in turn can improve financial results.
The Company believes that completed and planned renovation and redevelopment activities as well as market penetration will increase revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) at its hotels. As required by its various
3
management agreements, the Company is committed to funding a percentage of gross revenue per month for certain capital expenditures for periodic replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment. The Company has approximately $530,000 held in escrow for future furniture, fixture and equipment purchases at December 31, 2006. In 2006 six major renovations were completed and six others were started and should be completed in the first quarter of 2007. Total capital expenditures in 2006 were approximately $26.6 million. The Company continues to selectively renovate hotels as the return on investment warrants.
The Company continuously monitors its portfolio and will, where appropriate, selectively acquire or dispose of properties based on specific market conditions. In the first quarter of 2006 the Company completed the sale of two of its Residence Inn properties. In September 2006, the Company entered into a contract to sell its Las Vegas Residence Inn property for a gross sale price of $65 million. This transaction should be completed in the first quarter of 2007. Assuming the sale is completed, the Company will recognize a gain on sale of approximately $51 million and will be required to defease the debt secured by the property. The outstanding debt balance was $20.3 million at December 31, 2006.
Financing
Substantially all of the Company’s hotels are encumbered by mortgage debt. The Company’s bylaws require board of director approval for debt above certain levels. Debt levels are reviewed quarterly by the board to ensure reasonableness in relation to the Company’s assets. In January 2007, to fund the renovations completed in the first quarter of 2007, the Company increased its line of credit by $10 million to $25 million. Although there can be no assurance about the need for additional debt, it is anticipated that cash from operations and the Company’s existing revolving lines of credit will meet substantially all of the Company’s cash requirements.
Industry and Competition
The Company believes that the hotel industry is highly competitive. Each of the Company’s hotels is located in a developed area that includes other hotels and competes for guests primarily with other extended-stay hotels in its immediate vicinity and secondarily with other hotels in its geographic market. An increase in the number of competitive hotels in a particular area could have a material adverse effect on the occupancy, average daily rate (“ADR”) and RevPAR of the Company’s hotels in that area. The Company believes that brand recognition, location, price and quality (of both the hotel and the services provided) are the principal competitive factors affecting its hotels. Additionally, general economic conditions in a particular market or nationally can impact the performance of the hotels.
Hotel Operating Performance
The Company owns 47 Residence Inn by Marriott hotels, consisting of 5,768 guestrooms, and 17 Homewood Suites by Hilton hotels, consisting of 1,922 guestrooms. In September 2006 the Company contracted to sell the Las Vegas Residence Inn by Marriott hotel, consisting of 192 guestrooms. The results of this hotel have been classified as discontinued operations. Total hotel revenue for the hotels in continuing operations totaled $232.2 million, $218.3 million and $203.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. For those same periods, the hotels achieved average occupancy of 77%, 78% and 77%, ADR of $108, $100 and $95 and RevPAR of $82, $78 and $72. The overall increase in RevPAR reflects the overall improvement in the hospitality industry. Demand continues to exceed supply in most of the Company’s markets.
Franchise and Management Agreements
Residence Inn Hotels
The Company’s Residence Inn hotels are subject to management agreements under which Residence Inn by Marriott, Inc. (the “Manager”) manages the hotels, generally for an initial term of 15 to 20 years with renewal
4
terms at the option of the Manager of up to an additional 50 years. The agreements generally provide for payment of base management fees, which are calculated annually as a percentage of sales, and incentive management fees over a priority return (as defined in the management agreements). Incentive management fees (“IMF”) are currently payable only if and to the extent there is sufficient cash flow from the hotels after consideration of qualifying debt service and after consideration to a priority return on investment, including property improvements. Amounts not currently payable are deferred and are payable in future years only if and to the extent there is sufficient cash flow from future operations or upon sale or refinancing of the hotels after consideration to a priority return to the Company (as defined in the management agreements), which is generally 12%. In the event of early termination of the management agreements, the Manager will receive additional fees based on the unexpired term and expected future base and incentive management fees. The Company has the option to terminate the management agreements if specified performance thresholds are not satisfied. Marriott also charges system fees to operate as a Residence Inn by Marriott and for the right to use its brand services including its reservation system.
Homewood Suites Hotels
The Company’s 17 Homewood Suites hotels are managed by Hilton or one of its affiliates under the terms of separate management agreements, as part of the Homewood Suites by Hilton franchise. The initial term is generally 15 years with no option to renew; however, two hotel properties in this portfolio have renewal options of two five year periods each. The Company has the option to terminate the management agreements if specified performance thresholds are not satisfied. Hilton charges fees for this function, which are calculated as a percentage of revenue. Incentive management fees are calculated, for certain properties, on the basis of operating profit of the hotels. Hilton also charges a fee, calculated as a percentage of suite revenue, for franchise licenses to operate as a Homewood Suites by Hilton and to participate in its reservation system.
Related Parties
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.
The Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, has an advisory agreement with Apple Hospitality Five Advisors, Inc., (“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 administrative functions for Apple Hospitality Five, Inc. AFA is 100% owned by Glade M. Knight, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
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 administrative functions for Apple REIT Six, Inc. A7A provides day to day advisory and administrative functions for 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. Mr. Knight is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Apple Hospitality Five, Inc., Apple REIT Six, Inc. and Apple REIT Seven, Inc. 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.
Employees
During 2006, all employees involved in the day-to-day operation of the Company’s hotels were employed by the management companies engaged pursuant to the hotel management agreements. At December 31, 2006, the Company had 32 employees.

Environmental Matters
In connection with each of the Company’s hotel acquisitions, the Company obtains a Phase I Environmental Report and such additional environmental reports and surveys as are necessitated by such preliminary report. Based on such reports, the Company is not aware of any environmental situations requiring remediation at its properties, which have not been or are not currently being remediated as necessary. No material remediation costs have or are expected to occur.
Potential Merger
In February 2007, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement to be acquired by an affiliate of ING Clarion Partners, LLC (“ING”). This agreement is subject to shareholder approval and a 60 day inspection period during which ING has the right to review all of the Company’s books and records, title, environmental, engineering and other matters and to terminate the merger agreement. Under the merger agreement, ING will acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $467.4 million (or approximately $11.20 per share). The Company’s dividend reinvestment and share redemption programs were suspended upon the signing of the merger agreement. The merger agreement is also subject to customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the merger agreement will not be terminated or that a merger will occur. If the closing conditions are satisfied, it is anticipated that the merger could close during the second quarter of 2007.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following list describes several risk factors which are applicable to the Company:
The Company is subject to the risks of hotel operations.
The Company’s hotels are subject to all of the risks common to the hotel industry. These risks could adversely affect hotel occupancy and the rates that can be charged for hotel rooms as well as hotel operating expenses, and generally include:
| • | | increases in supply of hotel rooms that exceed increases in demand; |
| • | | increases in energy costs and other travel expenses that reduce business and leisure travel; |
| • | | reduced business and leisure travel due to continued geo-political uncertainty, including terrorism; |
| • | | adverse effects of declines in general and local economic activity; and |
| • | | adverse effects of a downturn in the hotel industry. |
The Company does not have control over market and business conditions.
Changes in general or local economic or market conditions, increased costs of energy, increased costs of insurance, increased costs of products, increased costs and shortages of labor, competitive factors, fuel shortages, quality of management, the ability of a hotel chain to fulfill any obligations to operators of its hotel business, limited alternative uses for the building, changing consumer habits, condemnation or uninsured losses, changing demographics, changing traffic patterns, inability to remodel outmoded buildings as required by the franchise or lease agreement and other factors beyond the Company’s control may reduce the value of properties that the Company owns and cash available to make distributions to the shareholders may be reduced.
Adverse trends in the hotel industry may impact the Company’s properties.
The success of the Company’s properties will depend largely on the property operators’ ability to adapt to dominant trends in the hotel industry as well as greater competitive pressures, increased consolidation, industry overbuilding, dependence on consumer spending patterns and changing demographics, the introduction of new
6
concepts and products, availability of labor, price levels and general economic conditions. The success of a particular hotel brand, the ability of a hotel brand to fulfill any obligations to operators of its business, and trends in the hotel industry may affect the Company’s income and the funds it has available to distribute to shareholders.
An economic downturn and concern about terrorist activities could adversely affect the travel and lodging industries and may affect hotel operations for the Company’s hotels.
As part of the effects of an economic downturn, the lodging industry could experience a significant decline in business caused by a reduction in travel for both business and pleasure. Consistent with the rest of the lodging industry, the hotels the Company owns or acquires may experience declines in occupancy and average daily rates due to the decline in travel. Any kind of terrorist activity within the United States, including terrorist acts against public institutions or buildings or modes of public transportation (including airlines, trains or buses) could lessen travel by the public, which could have a negative effect on any of the Company’s hotel operations. Any terrorist act directly against or affecting any of the Company’s properties would also negatively affect operations. The Company’s property insurance will typically cover losses for property damage to the properties if there are terrorist attacks against the Company’s properties. However, the Company is not insured for losses arising from terrorist attacks against other properties or against modes of public transportation (such as airlines, trains or buses), even though such terrorist attacks may curtail travel generally and negatively affect the Company’s hotel operations.
There may be business interruption due to natural disaster.
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.
The hotel industry is seasonal.
The hotel industry is seasonal in nature. Generally, occupancy rates and hotel revenues are greater in the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth quarters. As a result of the seasonality of the hotel industry, there may be quarterly fluctuations in results of operations. As a result, the Company may need to enter into short-term borrowing in certain periods in order to offset these fluctuations in revenues and to make distributions to shareholders.
There may be operational limitations associated with management and franchise agreements affecting the Company’s properties and these limitations may prevent the Company from using these properties to its best advantage for the Company’s shareholders.
Apple Hospitality Management, Inc. and Apple Suites Management, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries (or their subsidiaries), operate all of the properties pursuant to franchise or license agreements with nationally recognized hotel brands. These franchise agreements contain specific standards for, and restrictions and limitations on, the operation and maintenance of the Company’s properties in order to maintain uniformity within the franchisor system. The Company does not know whether those limitations may conflict with its ability to create specific business plans tailored to each property and to each market.
The Company faces competition in the hotel industry, which may limit its profitability and return to its shareholders.
The hotel industry is highly competitive. This competition could reduce occupancy levels and rental revenues at the Company’s properties, which would adversely affect its operations. The Company faces competition from many sources. It faces competition from other hotels both in the immediate vicinity and the geographic market
7
where the Company’s hotels are located. Over-building in the hotel industry will increase the number of rooms available and may decrease occupancy and room rates. In addition, increases in operating costs due to inflation may not be offset by increased room rates. The Company also faces competition from nationally recognized hotel brands with which the Company will not be associated.
The Company’s qualification as a real estate investment trust involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
The rules governing REIT’s are highly technical and complex. They require ongoing compliance with a variety of tests that depend, among other things, on future operations. While the Company expects to satisfy these tests and will make its best efforts to do so, it cannot ensure it will qualify as a REIT for any particular year, or that the applicable law will not change and adversely affect it and its shareholders.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Common Shares
There is currently no established public market in which the Company’s common shares are traded. The per share estimated market value is deemed to be the offering price of the shares, which is currently $10.00 per share. This is supported by the fact that the Company is currently selling shares to the public at a price of $10.00 per share through its Dividend Reinvestment Plan, and the Company is repurchasing shares at $10.00 per share from shareholders through its share redemption program. On December 31, 2006, there were approximately 10,750 beneficial shareholders of the Company’s common shares.
Distributions totaling $33.9 million, $33.4 million, and $37.6 million were paid to the common shareholders and Series C convertible shareholders during 2006, 2005 and 2004. Distributions were paid in an amount of $0.81, $0.80 and $.90 per share for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. Currently the Company pays a distribution on a quarterly basis. For the first three quarterly distributions in 2006, the distribution was at a rate of $0.20 per share. In August 2006, the Board approved an increase from an annual rate of $0.80 per Unit outstanding to $0.85 per Unit outstanding effective with the distribution in October 2006. The timing and amounts of distributions to shareholders are within the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. Future distributions will depend on the Company’s results of operations, cash flow from operations, economic conditions and other factors such as working capital and capital expenditure requirements, as well as requirements under federal income tax provisions for qualification as a REIT.
Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan and Incentive Plan
The Company’s board of directors has adopted and the Company’s shareholders have approved a Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan and an Incentive Plan. The options issued under each plan convert to Units. Each Unit is equal to one common share and one Series A Preferred share of the Company. As of December 31, 2006, there were 202,402 options outstanding. The following is a summary of securities issued under the plans as of December 31, 2006:
| | | | | | | |
Plan Category | | Number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights | | Weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights | | Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans |
Equity Compensation plans approved by security holders | | | | | | | |
Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan | | 202,402 | | $ | 9.84 | | 328,599 |
Employee Incentive Plan | | — | | $ | — | | 1,261,252 |
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 December 31, 2006, 2.6 million Units have been issued under the dividend reinvestment plan, representing $25.7 million in proceeds to the Company. In conjunction with the Company signing a definitive merger agreement in February 2007 for the Company to be acquired, the Company suspended its dividend reinvestment plan (see subsequent events to the Company’s financial statements in Item 8.).
Share Redemption Program
The Company has 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
12
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. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company redeemed approximately $9.7 million, representing approximately 970,707 Units. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has redeemed $36.3 million representing 3.7 million Units. In conjunction with the Company signing a definitive merger agreement in February 2007 for the Company to be acquired, the Company suspended its share redemption program (see subsequent events to the Company’s financial statements in Item 8.). The following is a summary of redemptions during the fourth quarter of 2006:
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | (a) | | (b) | | (c) | | (d) | |
Period | | Total Number of Units Purchased | | Average Price Paid per Unit | | Total Number of Units Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs | | Maximum Number of Units that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs | |
October 2006 | | 271,110 | | $ | 9.93 | | 3,651,284 | | (1 | ) |
(1) | The maximum number of Units that may be redeemed in the current calendar year is three percent (3.0%) of the weighted average number of Units outstanding at the end of the previous calendar year. |
Preferred Shares
The Company’s articles of incorporation authorize issuance of up to 15 million additional preferred shares. No preferred shares other than the Series A preferred shares and the Series B and C convertible preferred shares have been issued. The Company believes that the authorization to issue additional preferred shares benefits the Company and its shareholders by permitting flexibility in financing additional growth, giving the Company additional financing options in corporate planning and in responding to developments in business, including financing of additional acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. Having authorized preferred shares available for issuance in the future gives the Company the ability to respond to future developments and allows preferred shares to be issued without the expense and delay of a special shareholders’ meeting. At present, the Company has no specific financing or acquisition plans involving the issuance of additional preferred shares and the Company does not propose to fix the characteristics of any series of preferred shares in anticipation of issuing preferred shares other than the Series A preferred shares and Series C convertible preferred shares. The Company cannot now predict whether or to what extent, if any, additional preferred shares will be used or if so used what the characteristics of a particular series may be. The voting rights and rights to distributions of the holders of common shares will be subject to the prior rights of the holders of any subsequently-issued preferred shares. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, the preferred shares would be issuable without further authorization by holders of the common shares and on such terms and for such consideration as may be determined by the board of directors. The preferred shares could be issued in one or more series having varying voting rights, redemption and conversion features, distribution (including liquidating distribution) rights and preferences, and other rights, including rights of approval of specified transactions. A series of preferred shares could be given rights that are superior to rights of holders of common shares and a series having preferential distribution rights could limit common share distributions and reduce the amount holders of common shares would otherwise receive on dissolution.

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. At December 31, 2006, the Company owned 64 hotels within different markets in the United States. The hotels were acquired in five portfolios; 10 hotels were acquired in September 2001, 15 were acquired in March 2002, 21 were acquired in August 2002, one was acquired in January 2003, and 17 were acquired on January 31, 2003. 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 2006 the Company experienced improvement in its financial results primarily due to the overall hospitality industry improvement. The Company continually monitors the profitability of its properties and attempts to maximize shareholder value by timely disposal of properties. In the first quarter of 2006, the Company completed the sale of two of its Residence Inn hotels that were held for sale at the end of December 31, 2005. In the third quarter of 2006, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Las Vegas, Nevada, Residence Inn. The proposed sale price is $65.0 million, and assuming the sale is completed, the Company will recognize a gain on sale of approximately $51 million and will be required to defease the associated debt secured by the property.

Management Agreements
Residence Inn Hotels
The Company’s Residence Inn hotels are subject to management agreements under which Residence Inn by Marriott, Inc. (the “Manager”) manages the hotels, generally for an initial term of 15 to 20 years with renewal terms at the option of the Manager of up to an additional 50 years. The agreements generally provide for payment of base management fees, which are calculated annually as a percentage of sales, and incentive management fees over a priority return (as defined in the management agreements). Incentive management fees (IMF) are currently payable only if and to the extent there is sufficient cash flow from the hotels after consideration of qualifying debt service and after consideration to a priority return on investment, including property improvements. Amounts not currently payable are deferred and are payable in future years only if and to the extent there is sufficient cash flow from future operations or upon sale or refinancing of the hotels after consideration to a priority return to the Company (as defined in the management agreements), which is generally 12%. In the event of early termination of the management agreements, the Manager will receive additional fees based on the unexpired term and expected future base and incentive management fees. The Company has the option to terminate the management agreements if specified performance thresholds are not satisfied.
Incentive fees are payable on a portfolio by portfolio basis for Residence Inn properties. The Company has three portfolios of multiple hotels (Res I, Res II and Res III) plus one stand-alone hotel. Each of these portfolios has separate management agreements which are subject to this calculation. The Company records incentive management fee exposure when it is considered probable that these fees will be paid which is generally when they become payable. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company incurred and paid incentive management fees of $2.8 million and $1.3 million.
17
The following table summarizes deferred incentive management fees (DIMF) under these management agreements (dollars in millions).
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | DIMF Assumed | | IMF Accumulated Post- Acquisition | | Total IMF | | Post-acquisition IMF Paid | | Total DIMF | | Amount accrued in Consolidated Balance Sheet |
Res I | | $ | 6.7 | | $ | 12.2 | | $ | 18.9 | | $ | 3.2 | | $ | 15.7 | | $ | 0.0 |
Res II | | | 7.0 | | | 9.5 | | | 16.5 | | | 0.0 | | | 16.5 | | | 0.0 |
Res III | | | 0.0 | | | 1.8 | | | 1.8 | | | 0.5 | | | 1.3 | | | 0.7 |
Redmond | | | 0.0 | | | 1.7 | | | 1.7 | | | 1.7 | | | 0.0 | | | 0.0 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total | | $ | 13.7 | | $ | 25.2 | | $ | 38.9 | | $ | 5.4 | | $ | 33.5 | | $ | 0.7 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
No amounts of DIMF were recorded upon the acquisition of Res I and Res II as the fair value of these amounts were not readily determinable and payment was not considered probable.
In addition to the base management and incentive management fees required by the management agreements, the Company is also required to pay certain shared services which are generally provided on a central or regional basis to all hotels in the Marriott International hotel system. Shared services include central training, advertising and promotion, a national reservation system, computerized payroll and accounting services, public relations and such additional services as needed which may be more efficiently performed on a centralized basis. Costs and expenses incurred in providing such services are allocated among all domestic hotels managed, owned or leased by Marriott International or its subsidiaries. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, total fees incurred under the Marriott agreements were $19.9 million and $19.1 million, or 10.9% of revenue provided by the Marriott managed properties.
Homewood Suites Hotels
The Company’s 17 Homewood Suites hotels are managed by Hilton or one of its affiliates under the terms of separate management agreements, as part of the Homewood Suites by Hilton franchise. The initial term is generally 15 years with no option to renew; however, two hotel properties in this portfolio have renewal options of two five year periods each. The Company has the option to terminate the management agreements if specified performance thresholds are not satisfied. Hilton charges fees for this function, which are calculated as a percentage of revenue. Incentive management fees are calculated, for certain properties, on the basis of operating profit of the hotels. No incentive management fees were earned in 2006 or 2005. Hilton also charges a fee, calculated as a percentage of suite revenue, for franchise licenses to operate as a Homewood Suites by Hilton and to participate in its reservation system. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, total expenses for franchise fees, management fees, advertising expenses and other reimbursable services were $6.7 million and $6.2 million, or 12.0% and 11.9% of revenue, provided by the Hilton managed properties for each of those years.
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.
The Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, has an advisory agreement with Apple Hospitality Five Advisors, Inc., (“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 administrative functions for Apple Hospitality Five, Inc. AFA is 100% owned by Glade M. Knight, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 the Company earned and received advisory fee revenue of approximately $1.2 million and $0.7 million. These amounts are included in other revenue.
18
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 administrative functions for Apple REIT Six, Inc. A7A provides day to day advisory and administrative functions for 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 years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company received reimbursement of its costs totaling approximately $3.2 million and $2.1 million. Mr. Knight is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Apple Hospitality Five, Inc., Apple REIT Six, Inc. and Apple REIT Seven, Inc. 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.
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company sold its former corporate office building to Mr. Knight for approximately $600,000. In lieu of a cash payment from Mr. Knight, the outstanding balance of the unsecured note the Company has with Mr. Knight was reduced by the purchase price. At December 31, 2006, the remaining balance of the note was $3.9 million.
Results of Operations for Years 2006 and 2005
During 2006, the Company experienced improvements in continuing operations as compared to the prior year. Better economic conditions in many of its markets led to an increase in RevPAR by 5% over the prior year. The Company anticipates continued improvement in 2007. However, as the Company will continue to selectively renovate hotels and since general economic conditions can not be projected, there can be no assurance that the improvements will continue.
Revenues
The Company’s principal source of revenue is hotel suites revenue and related other revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 the Company had total hotel revenue from continuing operations of $232.2 million and $218.3 million. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the hotels achieved average occupancy of 77% and 78%, ADR of $108 and $100 and RevPAR of $82 and $78. 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 in 2006 is due to an overall improvement in the hospitality industry. Demand continues to exceed supply in most of the Company’s markets, allowing the Company to increase its room rates without reducing occupancy. 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.
Expenses
The Company’s hotel operating expenses from continuing operations totaled $135.6 million and $130.3 million or 58% of hotel revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 60% of hotel revenue for 2005. The decrease as a percentage of hotel suites revenue was due primarily to the improved ADR.
Taxes, insurance and other expense from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $14.6 million and $13.5 million or 6% of hotel revenue in both years. The Company continues to experience increases in property tax assessments and property insurance rates; however, to date they have increased at a rate similar to the increase in hotel revenues.
The Company’s general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $2.5 million and $2.0 million or 1% of revenue in both years. The principal components of general and administrative expenses are legal, accounting, financial reporting expenses and employee costs.
19
In 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. In connection with these activities, the Company incurred $437,000 and $322,000 in expenses in 2006 and 2005. In February 2007, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement to be acquired by an affiliate of ING Clarion Partners, LLC. Additional information on this pending transaction is under the heading Subsequent Events in this section.
Depreciation expense from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $27.8 million and $25.4 million. Depreciation expense represents expense of the Company’s 63 continuing hotels and related personal property, as well as renovations. The increase in depreciation is due to the six major renovations the Company has completed in the past year.
Interest expense, net, was $24.7 million and $25.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. In 2006 the Company capitalized interest of $698,000 associated with its renovation program, while in 2005 the Company only capitalized $184,000 due to less rooms out of service for renovation.
Results of Operations for Years 2005 and 2004
During 2005, the Company experienced improvements in continuing operations as compared to the prior year. Better economic conditions in many of its markets and completion of hotel renovations in 2004 led to an increase in RevPAR by 8% over the prior year. The Company anticipates continued improvement in 2006. However, as the Company will continue to selectively renovate hotels and since general economic conditions can not be projected, there can be no assurance that the improvements will continue.
Revenues
The Company’s principal source of revenue is hotel suites revenue and related other revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 the Company had total hotel revenue from continuing operations of $218.3 million and $203.6 million. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the hotels achieved average occupancy of 78% and 77%, ADR of $100 and $95 and RevPAR of $78 and $72. 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 increase in RevPAR is a result of overall improvement in the hospitality industry and completion of the renovation of 26 hotels during 2004. During the renovation program, suites were taken out of service. The Company will continue to focus on maximizing revenue through increased room rates, as it is not anticipated that occupancy will increase from its current level.
Expenses
The Company’s hotel operating expenses from continuing operations totaled $130.3 million and $122.4 million or 60% of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Operational efficiencies from increased revenue were offset by incentive fees earned by the managers for improved financial results.
Taxes, insurance and other expense from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $13.5 million or 6% of revenue and $14.6 million or 7% of revenue. The decrease is due to lower insurance rates and property tax assessments negotiated by the Company. The Company will continue to aggressively manage these areas; however, continued reductions are not anticipated due to increased insurance rates from the Company’s carriers related to their losses in 2005. Also, there is greater potential for aggressive real estate tax assessments, and thus greater real estate tax expenses, from local municipalities as real estate values increase across the country.
The Company’s general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $2.0 million and $2.5 million or 1% of revenue in both years.

In 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. In connection with these activities, the Company incurred $322,000 in expenses.
Depreciation expense from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $25.4 million and $24.1 million. Depreciation expense represents expense of the Company’s 63 continuing hotels and related personal property, as well as renovations. The increase in depreciation is due to the Company’s major renovation project in 2003 and 2004.
Interest expense was $25.7 million and $25.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. In 2004 the Company capitalized interest of $496,000 associated with its renovation program, while in 2005 the Company only capitalized $184,000 due to less rooms out of service for renovation.
On November 10, 2004, the Company closed on a refinancing transaction associated with the Res II Partnership debt. In association with this transaction, the Company incurred approximately $1.8 million in loan costs which are being amortized over 10 years and also recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $8.8 million, which included a credit of $1.9 million related to the debt’s outstanding fair value adjustment.

Capital Resources and Requirements
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $0.3 million at December 31, 2006 and $0.4 million at December 31, 2005. The Company plans to use this cash to pay debt service and general corporate expenses. The cash flow generated from the properties owned is the Company’s principal source of liquidity. In addition, the Company had approximately $13 million available under its revolving line of credit at December 31, 2006. The Company increased its line of credit in February 2007 to provide an additional $10 million of available credit.
The Company’s distribution policy is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and depends on several factors. For all of 2005 and for the first three quarters of 2006, the annual distribution rate was $0.80. Effective for the distribution in October 2006, the annual distribution rate was increased to $0.85, or $0.21 per quarter. The Company’s distributions are paid quarterly.
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 gross revenues provided that such amount may be used for its capital expenditures with respect to the hotels.
As a result of the Company’s renovation program, the Company funded approximately $8.0 million in capital improvements in addition to the 5% requirement in 2006. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company capitalized approximately $26.6 million and $10.5 million, in capital improvements to the properties. Of the amount capitalized during the year ended December 31, 2006, approximately $18 million related to the Company’s renovation of 12 hotels and approximately $8.6 million, related to the Company’s
21
normal furniture, fixtures and equipment expenditures. It is anticipated cash from available credit facilities and income from operations will be used to fund the Company’s ongoing debt service and capital improvement projects. 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 or that distributions will not include a return of capital.
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. Pending a possible merger transaction of the Company, the dividend reinvestment plan was suspended in February 2007. As of December 31, 2006, approximately 2.6 million Units were issued under the dividend reinvestment plan representing proceeds to the Company of approximately $25.7 million, under this plan.
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 years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company redeemed 970,707 and 928,576 Units in the amounts of $9.7 million and $9.3 million. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has redeemed $36.3 million representing 3.7 million Units. The Company currently intends to redeem shares to the extent of proceeds received from the dividend reinvestment plan. However, pending a possible merger transaction of the Company, the Unit Redemption Program was suspended in February 2007.
During 2004, the Company entered into a short-term credit facility. The short-term credit facility was refinanced in April 2005, changing it to a two-year $15 million revolving line of credit. This revolving line of credit is secured by two properties and bears interest at LIBOR (5.322% at December 31, 2006) plus 2.5% per year. At December 31, 2006 the outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit was $1.7 million. In February 2007 the Company increased this facility to a $25 million revolving line of credit and extended its term to May 31, 2007. The Company anticipates using the proceeds from the sale of its Las Vegas Residence Inn to extinguish this line.
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.
Subsequent Events
In February 2007, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement to be acquired by an affiliate of ING Clarion Partners, LLC (“ING”). This agreement is subject to shareholder approval and a 60 day inspection period during which ING has the right to review all of the Company’s books and records, title, environmental, engineering and other matters and to terminate the merger agreement. Under the merger agreement, ING will acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $467.4 million (or approximately $11.20 per share). The Company’s dividend reinvestment and share redemption programs were suspended upon the signing of the merger agreement. The merger agreement is also subject to customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the merger agreement will not be terminated or that a merger will occur. If the closing conditions are satisfied, it is anticipated that the merger could close during the second quarter of 2007.
22
In February 2007, the Company increased the borrowing capacity of its short-term revolving line of credit from $15 million to $25 million, and extended the term to May 31, 2007. The facility continues to bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% per year.
In January 2007, the Company declared and distributed to its shareholders dividends in the amount of $8.9 million ($0.21 per share).
In January 2007, the Company redeemed 261,459 Units in the amount of $2.6 million.
In January 2007, through the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan, 252,529 Units totaling $2.5 million were reinvested.
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 the hotels may cause quarterly fluctuations in revenues. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, the Company expects to utilize cash on hand to make distributions and required debt service.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The following contains a discussion of what the Company believes to be critical accounting policies and estimates. These items should be read to gain a further understanding of the principles used to prepare the Company’s financial statements. These principles include application of judgment; therefore, changes in judgments may have a significant impact on the Company’s reported results of operations and financial condition.
Capitalization Policy
The Company considers expenditures to be capital in nature based on the following criteria: (1) for a single asset, the cost must be at least $500, including all normal and necessary costs to place the asset in service, and the useful life must be at least one year; (2) for group purchases of 10 or more identical assets, the unit cost for each asset must be at least $50, including all normal and necessary costs to place the asset in service, and the useful life must be at least one year; and (3) for major repairs to buildings, the repair must be at least $2,500 and the useful life of the asset must be substantially extended.
Impairment Losses Policy
The Company records impairment losses on hotel properties used in operations if indicators of impairment are present, and the sum of the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the respective properties are less than the properties’ carrying amounts. Impairment losses are measured as the difference between the asset’s fair value less cost to sell, and its carrying value.
23
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” This interpretation requires that income tax positions recognized in an entity’s tax returns have a more-likely-than-not chance of being sustained prior to recording the related tax benefit in the financial statements. Tax benefits would be derecognized if information became available which indicated that it was more-likely-than-not that the position would not be sustained. The Company will adopt this interpretation in the first quarter of 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of this interpretation.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company does not engage in transactions in derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. As of December 31, 2006, the Company’s financial instruments were not exposed to significant market risk due to foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk. The Company has issued fixed interest rate notes payable to lenders under permanent financing arrangements. The following table summarizes the annual maturities and average interest rates and estimated fair market value at December 31, 2006.

Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
March 7, 2007
To the Shareholders
Apple Hospitality Two, Inc.
Management of Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. As defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is supported by written policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the Company’s transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and the receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, management has undertaken an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO Framework). Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls.
Based on this assessment, management has concluded that as of December 31, 2006, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this report, has issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting, a copy of which appears on the next page of this annual report.

Apple Hospitality Two, Inc.
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying “Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”, that Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria).

Note 1
General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. (the “Company”), a Virginia corporation, was formed on January 17, 2001, with the first investor closing on May 1, 2001. The Company merged with Apple Suites, Inc. (Apple Suites) on January 31, 2003 and results of Apple Suites operations are included in Company results from February 1, 2003. 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 December 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 “Lessee”).
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The fair market value of cash and cash equivalents approximate their carrying value. Cash equivalents are placed with high credit quality institutions and the balances may, at times, exceed federal depository insurance limits.
Investments in hotels, net
The hotels are stated at cost, net of depreciation. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred while significant improvements, renovations, and replacements are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 39 years for buildings, 10 years for major improvements and three to seven years for furniture and equipment.
The Company considers expenditures to be capital in nature based on the following criteria: (1) for a single asset, the cost must be at least $500, including all normal and necessary costs to place the asset in service, and the useful life must be at least one year; (2) for group purchases of 10 or more identical assets, the unit cost for each asset must be at least $50, including all normal and necessary costs to place the asset in service, and the useful life must be at least one year; and (3) for major repairs to buildings, the repair must be at least $2,500 and the useful life of the asset must be substantially extended.
The Company records impairment losses on hotel properties used in the operations if indicators of impairment are present, and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the respective properties are less than their carrying amount. Impairment losses are measured as the difference between the asset’s fair value less cost to sell, and its carrying value.
Hotels held for Sale
For hotels classified as held for sale, the Company estimates the net selling price of such hotel. Net selling price is estimated as the amount at which the hotel could be bought or sold (fair value) less costs to sell. Fair value is determined considering prevailing market conditions and/or current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers, if appropriate. If the hotel’s net selling price is less than the carrying amount of the hotel, a reserve for loss is established. Depreciation is no longer recorded on hotels held for sale. In December 2005 and January 2006, the Company entered contracts to sell two hotels and a loss on discontinued operations of $3.4 million was recorded representing the differences in fair value less selling costs and net book value. In September 2006, the Company entered a contract to sell a third hotel. The fair value of this hotel is greater than its net book value.
32
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized as earned, which is generally defined as the date upon which a guest occupies a room or utilizes the hotel’s services.
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 (elected by the Company prior to 2006), 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 has not had a material impact on the Company’s results of operations as no share based payments were issued in 2006.
Comprehensive Income
The Company recorded no comprehensive income other than net income for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.
Earnings per common share
Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated after giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding for the year. Series C preferred convertible stock is included in basic and diluted earnings per common share as these shares are considered common stock equivalents.
Income Taxes
As a REIT, the Company receives a deduction for its distributions to shareholders and is required to distribute 90% of its earnings and profits. Earnings and profits will differ from income reported for financial reporting purposes primarily due to the differences for federal income tax purposes in the estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation. The Company’s distributions are taxable to its shareholders to the extent the distribution is characterized as ordinary income. The characterization of 2006 distributions of $0.81 per share for tax purposes was 100% ordinary income, 2005 distributions of $0.80 per share for tax purposes was 87% ordinary income and 13% return of capital and 2004 distributions of $0.90 per share for tax purposes was 55% ordinary income and 45% return of capital (unaudited).
The Lessees, as taxable REIT subsidiaries of the Company, are subject to federal and state income taxes. The taxable REIT subsidiaries incurred a financial reporting and taxable loss for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, and therefore did not have any federal tax expense. No operating loss benefit has been recorded in the consolidated balance sheet since realization is uncertain. Total net operating loss carry-forward for federal income tax purposes was approximately $41.0 million and $33.0 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005. The net operating loss carryforwards expire beginning in 2019. There are no material differences between the book and tax basis of the Company’s assets.
Sales and Marketing Costs
Sales and marketing costs are expensed when incurred. These costs represent the expense for franchise advertising and reservation systems under the terms of the hotel management agreements and general and administrative expenses that are directly attributable to advertising and promotion.
33
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
Due to the Discontinued Operations disclosed in Note 10, certain amounts in the 2005 and 2004 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.
Summary of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. This interpretation requires that income tax positions recognized in an entity’s tax returns have a more-likely-than-not chance of being sustained prior to recording the related tax benefit in the financial statements. Tax benefits would be derecognized if information became available which indicated that it was more-likely-than-not that the position would not be sustained. The Company will adopt this interpretation in the first quarter of 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of this interpretation.
Note 2
Investment in Hotels
At December 31, 2006 the Company owned 64 hotels, with a total of 7,690 suites. Of the Company’s 64 hotels, 47 are Residence Inn by Marriott properties consisting of 5,768 suites, and 17 are Homewood Suites by Hilton consisting of 1,922 suites. At December 31, 2006, one of the hotels owned was classified as hotels held for sale, and at December 31, 2005, three hotels were classified as hotels held for sale.

Notes payable consists of the following:
The Company has a note in the original principal amount of $82 million, secured by 15 of its hotels. The term of the note is 10 years with a 25 year amortization. The note bears interest at the fixed rate of 7.4% per annum and payments are made in monthly installments of principal and interest. The loan matures in October 2012 with an aggregate balloon payment of approximately $67 million. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $77.8 million and $79.2 million.
Prior to November 10, 2004, the date of refinancing, the Company had a note encumbered by 23 hotel properties with an annual interest rate of 8.85%. The note was payable in monthly installments of principal and interest and had an outstanding balance on the date of refinancing of approximately $125 million. On November 10, 2004, the Company closed on a refinancing of this note. The refinancing involved 21 separate loans having an aggregate principal balance of $135 million. The 21 promissory notes are substantially similar in that each provide a stated annual interest rate of 6.88%, each note matures on November 11, 2014 with an aggregate balloon payment of approximately $111 million, and each note provides a payment of interest only in monthly installments for the first 12 months, followed by amortized payments of principal and interest in consecutive monthly installments thereafter. In association with this transaction, the Company incurred approximately $1.8 million in loan costs which are being amortized over 10 years using the effective interest method, and the Company recognized debt extinguishment costs in 2004 of approximately $8.8 million, which included a credit of $1.9 million related to the debt’s outstanding fair value adjustment. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $132.8 million and $134.8 million.
The Company has a note in the amount of approximately $50 million, secured by 10 of its hotels. The note bears a fixed interest rate of 8.08% per annum. The maturity date is January 2010, with a balloon payment of $35.4 million. The loan is payable in monthly installments including principal and interest. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $43.4 million and $45.6 million.
The Company has a note in the amount of approximately $20 million, secured by its Redmond hotel. The note provides for an applicable interest rate of 8.375% per year. The note requires consecutive monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $163,348. The note matures in December 2010. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $18.8 and $19.1 million.
In conjunction with the acquisition of Apple Suites, the Company assumed the following secured notes:
| • | | A secured note with an original principal amount of $9.5 million that bears interest at 8.3% per annum and is secured by two hotels. The note is amortized over 25 years and matures in January 2012. Payments of principal and interest are made monthly. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $8.9 and $9.0 million. |
| • | | A secured note with an original principal amount of $7.5 million that bears interest at 8.14% per annum and is secured by one hotel. The note is amortized over 25 years and matures in September 2011. Payments of principal and interest are made monthly. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $6.9 and $7.1 million. |
| • | | A secured note with an original principal amount of $10.7 million that bears interest at 8.15% per annum and is secured by one hotel. The note is amortized over 25 years and matures in June 2011. Payments of principal and interest are made monthly. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $9.9 and $10.0 million. |
| • | | A secured note with an original principal amount of $50 million that bears interest at 9% per annum and is secured by 11 hotels. The note is amortized over 25 years and matures on September 2010. Payments of principal and interest are made monthly. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $46.1 million and $46.9 million. |
35
In 2005 the Company refinanced its $16 million dollar secured line of credit (originally entered into in 2004). The short-term credit facility was changed to a two-year $15 million revolving line of credit. This revolving line of credit is secured by two properties and bears interest at LIBOR (5.322% at December 31, 2006) plus 2.5% per year. At December 31, 2006 the outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit was $1.7 million. In January 2007, the borrowing capacity of this facility was increased to $25 million and the term was extended to May 31, 2007.
The Company has an unsecured promissory note due to Mr. Knight, its Chairman and CEO. The note was part of the purchase price of Apple Suites Advisors, Inc. in 2003. In the second quarter of 2006, the Company sold its former corporate office building to Mr. Knight for approximately $600,000. In lieu of a cash payment from Mr. Knight, the outstanding balance of the unsecured note was reduced by the purchase price of the building. The principal and interest were paid in February 2007. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $3.9 million and $4.2 million.
The fair value of the Company’s notes payable at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $376.0 million and $387.0 million.
Note 4
Shareholders’ Equity
The Company raised equity capital through a best efforts offering of Units by David Lerner Associates, Inc. (the “Managing Dealer”). One Unit consists of one common share and one Series A preferred share of the Company. Through the close of the offering on November 26, 2002, 30.1 million Units were sold netting the Company $270 million. An additional 11.4 million Units were issued in 2003 as part of the merger with Apple Suites in 2003.
Also in connection with the Apple Suites merger in 2003, all of the Company’s 240,000 Series B convertible preferred shares were exchanged for 1,272,000 Series C convertible preferred shares of the Company. Expense related to the issuance of the Series B convertible preferred shares was determined based on the fair value of the Series B convertible preferred shares at conversion date in excess of amounts paid by these individuals. The fair value was determined to be $8 per share at the date of the Merger. The holders of the Series B convertible preferred shares, including Mr. Knight, would have otherwise been entitled to receive 1,272,000 Units upon conversion of the Series B convertible preferred shares in connection with the termination of the Company’s advisory agreement with ASA and the Company’s property acquisition/disposition agreement with Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. (“ASRG”). The new Series C convertible preferred shares have a liquidation preference comparable to the Series B convertible preferred shares, in that holders of Series C convertible preferred shares will receive no payments in liquidation for their Series C convertible preferred shares until holders of Units are paid in full for their Series A preferred shares. The Series C convertible preferred shares have the same voting rights and rights to receive dividend distributions as if they had already been converted to common shares.
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. Pending a possible merger transaction of the Company, the dividend reinvestment plan was suspended in February 2007. As of December 31, 2006, approximately 2.6 million Units were issued under the dividend reinvestment plan representing proceeds to the Company of approximately $25.7 million, under this plan.
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
36
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 years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company redeemed 970,707 and 928,576 Units in the amounts of $9.7 million and $9.3 million. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has redeemed $36.3 million representing 3.7 million Units. The Company currently intends to redeem shares to the extent of proceeds received from the dividend reinvestment plan. However, pending a possible merger transaction of the Company, the Unit Redemption Program was suspended in February 2007.
The Series C convertible preferred shares will be convertible into Units upon and for 180 days following the occurrence of either of the following events: (1) the Company transfers substantially all of the Company’s assets, stock or business as a going concern, whether through exchange, merger, consolidation, lease, share exchange or otherwise, other than a sale of assets in liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company’s business; or (2) the Company lists the Company’s Units on a national securities exchange or quotation system or in any established market. Upon the occurrence of either triggering event, each Series C convertible preferred share will be convertible into one Unit, subject to adjustment to reflect stock dividends on, or split, subdivision or combination of, the Company’s common shares.
The Company’s articles of incorporation authorize issuance of up to 15 million additional preferred shares. No preferred shares other than the Series A preferred shares and the Series B and C convertible preferred shares (discussed above) have been issued. The Company believes that the authorization to issue additional preferred shares benefits the Company and its shareholders by permitting flexibility in financing additional growth, giving the Company additional financing options in corporate planning and in responding to developments in business, including financing of additional acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. Having authorized preferred shares available for issuance in the future gives the Company the ability to respond to future developments and allows preferred shares to be issued without the expense and delay of a special shareholders’ meeting. At present, the Company has no specific financing or acquisition plans involving the issuance of additional preferred shares and the Company does not propose to fix the characteristics of any series of preferred shares in anticipation of issuing preferred shares other than the Series A preferred shares and Series C convertible preferred shares. The Company cannot now predict whether or to what extent, if any, additional preferred shares will be used or if so used what the characteristics of a particular series may be. The voting rights and rights to distributions of the holders of common shares will be subject to the prior rights of the holders of any subsequently-issued preferred shares. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, the preferred shares would be issuable without further authorization by holders of the common shares and on such terms and for such consideration as may be determined by the board of directors. The preferred shares could be issued in one or more series having varying voting rights, redemption and conversion features, distribution (including liquidating distribution) rights and preferences, and other rights, including rights of approval of specified transactions. A series of preferred shares could be given rights that are superior to rights of holders of common shares and a series having preferential distribution rights could limit common share distributions and reduce the amount holders of common shares would otherwise receive on dissolution.
Note 5
Stock Incentive Plans
On April 30, 2001, the Board of Directors approved a Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan (the “Directors Plan”) whereby Directors, who are not employees of the Company or affiliates, automatically receive options to purchase stock for five years from the adoption of the plan. Under the Directors Plan, the maximum number of shares to be issued is equal to 45,000 plus 1.8% of the number of Units sold in excess of 3,157,895 Units. This plan currently relates to the initial public offering of 20,157,895 Units and the additional offering of
37
10,000,036 Units; therefore, the maximum number of shares to be issued under the Directors Plan is currently 531,001. The options expire 10 years from the date of grant.
On April 30, 2001, the Board of Directors approved an Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) whereby incentive awards may be granted to certain employees of the Company or affiliates. Under the Incentive Plan, the maximum number of Units to be issued is equal to 35,000 plus 4.625% of the number of shares sold in the initial offering in excess of 3,157,895 plus 4.4% of the total number of Units sold in additional offerings. This plan also currently relates to the initial public offering of 20,157,895 Units and the additional offering of 10,000,036 Units; therefore, the maximum number of Units that can be issued under the Incentive Plan is currently 1,261,252.
Both plans generally provide, among other things, that options be granted at exercise prices not lower than the market value of the Units on the date of grant. The optionee has up to 10 years from the date on which the options first become exercisable to exercise the options. No options were granted under the Directors Plan in 2006. In 2005 and 2004, the Company granted 47,210, and 33,372 options to purchase shares under the Directors Plan. Additionally, in 2003, the Company converted 45,888 options granted under the Apple Suites Directors Plan to Company options with the same terms and agreements. All options vested on the date of issuance. No options have been granted under the Company’s Incentive Plan. Activity in the Company’s share option plans during 2006, 2005 and 2004 is summarized in the following table:
| | | | | | | | | |

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company used the intrinsic value method, as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25) and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. This method required compensation expense to be recognized for the excess of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date or the measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Beginning January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FASB Statement 123 (R) using the modified prospective transition method.

Management Agreements
Residence Inn Hotels
The Company’s Residence Inn hotels are subject to management agreements under which Residence Inn by Marriott, Inc. (the “Manager”) manages the hotels, generally for an initial term of 15 to 20 years with renewal terms at the option of the Manager of up to an additional 50 years. The agreements generally provide for payment of base management fees, which are calculated annually as a percentage of sales, and incentive management fees over a priority return (as defined in the management agreements). Incentive management fees (IMF) are currently payable only if and to the extent there is sufficient cash flow from the hotels after consideration of qualifying debt service and after consideration to a priority return on investment, including property improvements. Amounts not currently payable are deferred and are payable in future years only if and to the extent there is sufficient cash flow from future operations or upon sale or refinancing of the hotels after consideration to a priority return to the Company (as defined in the management agreements), which is generally 12%. In the event
38
of early termination of the management agreements, the Manager will receive additional fees based on the unexpired term and expected future base and incentive management fees. The Company has the option to terminate the management agreements if specified performance thresholds are not satisfied.
Incentive fees are payable on a portfolio by portfolio basis for Residence Inn properties. The Company has three portfolios of multiple hotels (Res I, Res II and Res III) plus one stand-alone hotel. Each of these portfolios has separate management agreements which are subject to this calculation. The Company records incentive management fee exposure when it is considered probable that these fees will be paid which is generally when they become payable. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company incurred and paid incentive management fees of $2.8 million, $1.3 million and $0.3 million.
The following table summarizes deferred incentive management fees (DIMF) under these management agreements (dollars in millions).
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | DIMF Assumed | | IMF Accumulated Post- Acquisition | | Total IMF | | Post-acquisition IMF Paid | | Total DIMF | | Amount accrued in Consolidated Balance Sheet |
Res I | | $ | 6.7 | | $ | 12.2 | | $ | 18.9 | | $ | 3.2 | | $ | 15.7 | | $ | 0.0 |
Res II | | | 7.0 | | | 9.5 | | | 16.5 | | | 0.0 | | | 16.5 | | | 0.0 |
Res III | | | 0.0 | | | 1.8 | | | 1.8 | | | 0.5 | | | 1.3 | | | 0.7 |
Redmond | | | 0.0 | | | 1.7 | | | 1.7 | | | 1.7 | | | 0.0 | | | 0.0 |

Total | | $ | 13.7 | | $ | 25.2 | | $ | 38.9 | | $ | 5.4 | | $ | 33.5 | | $ | 0.7 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
No amounts of DIMF were recorded upon the acquisition of Res I and Res II as the fair value of these amounts were not readily determinable and payment was not considered probable.
In addition to the base management and incentive management fees required by the management agreements, the Company is also required to pay certain shared services which are generally provided on a central or regional basis to all hotels in the Marriott International hotel system. Shared services include central training, advertising and promotion, a national reservation system, computerized payroll and accounting services, public relations and such additional services as needed which may be more efficiently performed on a centralized basis. Costs and expenses incurred in providing such services are allocated among all domestic hotels managed, owned or leased by Marriott International or its subsidiaries. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 total fees incurred under the Marriott agreements were $19.9 million, $19.1 million and $18.4 million or 10.9%, 10.9%, and 11.3% of revenue provided by the Marriott managed properties.
Homewood Suites Hotels
The Company’s 17 Homewood Suites hotels are managed by Hilton or one of its affiliates under the terms of separate management agreements, as part of the Homewood Suites by Hilton franchise. The initial term is generally 15 years with no option to renew; however, two hotel properties in this portfolio have renewal options of two five year periods each. The Company has the option to terminate the management agreements if specified performance thresholds are not satisfied. Hilton charges fees for this function, which are calculated as a percentage of revenue. Incentive management fees are calculated, for certain properties, on the basis of operating profit of the hotels. No incentive management fees were earned in 2006 or 2005. Hilton also charges a fee, calculated as a percentage of suite revenue, for franchise licenses to operate as a Homewood Suites by Hilton and to participate in its reservation system. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, total expenses for franchise fees, management fees, advertising expenses and other reimbursable services were $6.7 million, $6.2 million and $6.0 million, or 12.0%, 11.9% and 11.8% of revenue, provided by the Hilton managed properties for each of those years.

Industry Segments
The Company owns extended-stay hotel properties throughout the United States that generate rental and other property related income. The Company separately evaluates the performance of each of its hotel properties. However, because each of the hotel properties has similar economic characteristics, facilities, and services, the properties have been aggregated into a single segment. All segment disclosure is included in or can be derived from the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 10
Discontinued Operations
The Company adopted FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, (“FAS 144”) as of January 1, 2002. FAS 144 requires, among other things, that the primary assets and liabilities and the results of operations of the Company’s investment in hotels which have been sold subsequent to January 1, 2002, or are held for disposition subsequent to January 1, 2002, be classified as discontinued operations and segregated in the consolidated statements of operations and balance sheets. Hotels classified as held for sale generally represent hotels that are under contract for sale and are expected to close within the next twelve months.
In September 2006, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Las Vegas, Nevada, Residence Inn. This hotel has been classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Hotels held for sale” as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. The net book value of the hotel at December 31, 2006 was $12.2 million and $12.5 million at December 31, 2005. The results of operations for this property for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 are classified on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the line item “Income (loss) from discontinued operations”. The Company expects to complete this transaction in the first quarter of 2007. The proposed sale price is $65,000,000. Assuming the sale is completed, the Company will recognize a gain on sale of approximately $51 million and be required to defease the secured debt associated with the property.
The Company classified two other 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 these hotels classified as held for sale at December 31, 2005 are also recognized as discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.
The following table sets forth the components of discontinued operations for these hotels for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):

Corporate Governance and Procedures for Shareholder Communications
Code of Ethics. The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for the Company’s officers, directors and employees, which is available on the Company’s website atwww.applehospitality.com and also will be provided by the Company upon request and without charge. The purpose of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is to promote (a) honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest, (b) full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in periodic reports required to be filed by the Company, and (c) compliance with all applicable rules and regulations that apply to the Company and its officers, directors and employees.
Shareholder Communications. Shareholders may send communications to the Board or its members. Any such shareholder communication should be directed to Ms. Kelly Clarke, Corporate Services Department, 814 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219. Such communications may receive an initial evaluation to determine, based on the substance and nature of the communication, a suitable process for internal distribution, review and response or other appropriate treatment.
Committees of the Board
Summary. The Board of Directors has three standing committees, which are specified below and have the following functions:
| • | | Executive Committee. The Executive Committee has, to the extent permitted by law, all powers vested in the Board of Directors, except powers specifically withheld from the Committee under the Company’s bylaws. |
| • | | Audit Committee. The Audit Committee operates in accordance with a written charter (which is available on the Company’s website atwww.applehospitality.com). The Audit Committee recommends to the Board of Directors, which annually ratifies, the level of distributions to shareholders and has the other functions and responsibilities set forth in its charter. A report by the Audit Committee appears in a following section. |
46
| • | | Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee administers the Company’s incentive and stock option plans and oversees the compensation and reimbursement of directors and executive officers of the Company. |
Audit Committee Independence. The Board of Directors determined in 2006 that each current member of the Audit Committee (as shown in the following table) is “independent,” as defined in the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. To be considered independent, a member of the Audit Committee must not (other than in his or her capacity as a director or committee member, and subject to certain other limited exceptions) either (a) accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the Company or any subsidiary, or (b) be an affiliate of the Company or any subsidiary. The Audit Committee does not have a member who is a “financial expert” within the meaning of regulations issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s management believes that the combined experience and capabilities of the Audit Committee members are sufficient for the current and anticipated operations and needs of the Company. In this regard, the Board has determined that each Audit Committee member is “financially literate” and that at least one member has “accounting or related financial management expertise,” as all such terms are defined by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

All three directors are independent directors as defined under “Committees of the Board.” The Audit Committee operates under a written charter that was adopted by the Board of Directors on February 19, 2004, and is annually reassessed and updated, as needed, in accordance with applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. A copy of this charter may be found on the Company’s website, www.applehospitality.com. The Audit Committee oversees
47
the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. In fulfilling its oversight duties, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the fiscal year 2006 with management and the Company’s independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, including the quality and acceptability of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosure in the financial statements. The Audit Committee also reviewed management’s report on its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and Ernst & Young LLP’s report on management’s assessment and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company’s financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles, internal controls, and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Ernst & Young LLP is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
The Audit Committee also has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, “Communication with Audit Committees,” and has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees.” The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services (none of which related to financial information systems design and implementation) by the independent auditors is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence and has discussed with the auditors the auditors’ independence. Based on the review and discussions described in this Report, and subject to the limitations on its role and responsibilities described below and in its charter, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
The members of the Audit Committee are not experts in accounting or auditing and rely without independent verification on the information provided to them and on the representations made by management and the independent auditors. Accordingly, the Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that the Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
The Company’s directors and executive officers, and any persons holding more than 10% of the outstanding Common Shares, are required to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to their initial ownership of Common Shares and any subsequent changes in that ownership. The Company believes that during 2006 each of its officers and directors complied with all such filing requirements.
In making this statement, the Company has relied solely on written representations of its directors and executive officers and copies of reports that they have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In 2006 no person held more than 10% of the outstanding Common Shares.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
Executive Compensation Philosophy
The Company’s executive compensation philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain a superior management team. The Company’s compensation program rewards each senior manager for their contribution to the Company. In addition, the Company uses annual incentive benefits that are designed to be competitive with comparable employers and to align management’s incentives with the interests of the Company and its shareholders.
48
With the exception of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Company compensates its senior management through a mix of base salary and bonus designed to be competitive with comparable employers. The Company has not utilized stock based awards or long term compensation for senior management. The Company believes that a simplistic approach to compensation better matches the objectives of all stakeholders. Each member of the senior management team performs similar functions for Apple Hospitality Five, Inc. (“Apple Five”), Apple REIT Six, Inc. (“Apple Six”), Apple REIT Seven, Inc. (“Apple Seven”), Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. (“ASRG”), Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (“ASA”) and Apple Seven, Inc. (“A7A”). As a result each senior manager’s total compensation paid by the Company is proportionate to the estimated amount of time devoted to activities associated with the Company. The CEO is Chairman of the Board of Directors, CEO and majority shareholder of ASRG, ASA and A7A, each of which has various agreements with the Company and Apple Five, Apple Six and Apple Seven. During 2006 ASRG, ASA and A7A received no fees from the Company, however they did receive approximately $10.7 million from Apple Six and Apple Seven. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors considers these agreements when developing the CEO’s compensation. As a result, the Company’s CEO has historically been compensated a de minimis amount to allow him to participate in the Company’s benefit plans. Annually the Chairman of the Board of Directors develops the compensation targets of Senior Management (as well as goals and objectives) with input from other members of senior management and reviews these items with the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
Base and Incentive Salaries
The process of establishing each senior manager’s compensation involves establishing an overall targeted amount and allocating that total between base and incentive compensation. The overall target is developed using comparisons to compensation paid by other public hospitality REIT’s, and consideration of each individual’s experience in their position and the industry, the risks and deterrents associated with their position and the anticipated difficulty to replace the individual. It is the Company’s intention to set this overall target sufficiently high to attract and retain a strong and motivated leadership team, but not so high that it creates a negative perception with our other stakeholders. Once the overall target is established, approximately 75% of that number is allocated to base salary and the remaining 25% is allocated to incentive compensation. The incentive compensation is then allocated 50% to Company overall performance (typically Funds From Operations (FFO) targets) and 50% to each individual’s subjective performance objectives.
Change In Control Benefits
The Company has established an Executive Severance Pay Plan (the Plan) and Employee Severance Plan to provide protection to each employee (excluding the CEO) in case of a significant change in ownership. The Plan is intended to provide an incentive to each employee to work through any change in ownership and not leave the Company if another longer term opportunity arises. Each employee is only eligible for the benefits if a significant change in ownership of the Company occurs and the employee is terminated within one year of the change in ownership and is not offered employment by one of the Company’s affiliated companies (Apple Five, Apple REIT Six, Apple REIT Seven, ASRG, A6A or A7A). Significance of change in ownership and termination are defined in the Plan document.
The Senior Management severance benefits are: (i) to the extent not previously paid, the salary and any accrued paid time off through the date of the change in control; (ii) an amount equal to the product of (a) the annual bonus for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the change in control occurs multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days employed by the Company during the calendar year in which the change in control occurs, and the denominator of which is 365; (iii) all amounts previously deferred by the Senior Manager under any nonqualified deferred compensation plan sponsored by the Company, together with any accrued earnings on these amounts, and not yet paid by the Company; and (iv) an amount equal to 2.5 times the sum of the Senior Manager’s annual base salary and annual bonus.
In addition, following a significant change in control and a termination, the Senior Manager (if entitled to severance benefits) will become fully vested in any and all stock incentive awards granted to the Senior Manager
49
(if any are ever issued) under any plan or otherwise which have not become exercisable as of the date of the change in control and all stock options (including options vested as of the change in control) will remain exercisable until the applicable option expiration date.
The Company also will arrange to provide, for a period of one year from the Senior Manager’s termination, the Senior Manager and his family benefits (including, without limitation, medical, dental, health, disability, individual life and group life insurance benefits) that are at least as favorable as those provided under the most favorable plans of the Company applicable with respect to the Senior Manager and their family during either (i) the 90-day period immediately preceding the change in control, or (ii) the 90-day period immediately preceding the Senior Manager’s termination date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Senior Manager obtains comparable coverage under any benefits provided by another employer, then the amount of coverage required to be provided by the Company will be reduced by the amount of coverage provided by such other employer’s benefit plans.
Also, the Company will, at its sole expense, pay on behalf of each Senior Manager, as incurred, up to $15,000 in fees and costs charged by a nationally recognized outplacement firm selected by the Senior Manager to provide outplacement service for one year after the termination date.
As of December 31, 2006 if a termination event had occurred each Senior Manager would have been offered employment by Apple Five, therefore no amounts would have been payable under the plan.
Perquisites and Other Benefits
Senior management may participate in the Company’s other benefit plans on the same terms as other employees. These plans include medical and dental insurance, life insurance and 401K plan. As noted in the Summary Compensation Table below, the Company provides limited perquisites to its Senior Managers.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
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.
The Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, has an advisory agreement with Apple Hospitality Five Advisors, Inc., (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 management, advisory and real estate acquisition due diligence services for Apple Hospitality Five, Inc. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company received advisory fee revenue in the amount of $1.2 million under this agreement. AFA is 100% owned by Glade M. Knight, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
The Company also provides support services to Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (A6A), Apple Hospitality Five Inc., Apple REIT Six, Inc. and Apple REIT Seven, Inc. A6A provides day to day advisory and real estate due diligence services to Apple REIT Six, Inc. A6A is 100% owned by Mr. Knight. Each of these companies have agreed to reimburse the Company for its costs in providing these services. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company has received reimbursement of its costs totaling approximately $3.2 million. Mr. Knight is Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Apple Hospitality Five, Inc., Apple REIT Six, Inc. and Apple REIT Seven, Inc. In addition, the members of the Company’s Board of Directors are also members of the Board of Directors for Apple Hospitality Five, Inc., Apple REIT Six, Inc. or Apple REIT Seven, Inc.
Board of Directors. The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that all of the Company’s directors, except Mr. Knight, are “independent” within the meaning of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (which the Company, although not listed on a national exchange, has adopted for purposes of determining such independence). In making this determination, the Board considered all relationships between the director and the Company, including commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and familial relationships.
The Board has adopted a standard that a director is not independent (a) if he or she receives any personal financial benefit from, on account of or in connection with a relationship between the Company and the director (excluding directors fees and options), (b) if he or she is a partner, officer, employee or managing member of an entity that has a business or professional relationship with, and that receives compensation from, the Company, or (c) if he or she is a non-managing member or shareholder of such an entity and owns 10% or more of the membership interests or common stock of that entity. The Board may determine that a director with a business or other relationship that does not fit within the categorical standard described in the immediately preceding sentence is nonetheless independent, but in that event, the Board is required to disclose the basis for its determination in the Company’s then current annual proxy statement. In addition, the Board has voluntarily adopted, based on rules of the New York Stock Exchange, certain conditions that prevent a director from being considered independent while the condition lasts and then for three years thereafter.
Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services

All services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP are permissible under applicable laws and regulations and the annual audit of the Company was pre-approved by the Audit Committee, as required by applicable law. The nature of the services categorized in the preceding table are described below:
Audit Fees. These are fees for professional services rendered for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements, reviews of the financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-Q filings or services normally provided by the independent auditor in connection with statutory or regulatory filings or engagements.
Audit-Related Fees. These are fees for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements. Such services include accounting consultations and required agreed-upon procedure engagements.

Pre-Approval Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services. In accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all audit and non-audit services provided to the Company by its independent auditors must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. As authorized by that statute, the Audit Committee has delegated to the Chairperson of the Audit Committee the authority to pre-approve up to $25,000 in audit and non-audit services. This authority may be exercised when the Audit Committee is not in session. Any decisions by the Chairperson of the Audit Committee under this delegated authority will be reported at the next meeting of the Audit Committee.
