The purchase price for the hotels acquired was funded by the Company’s on-going best-efforts offering of Units. The Company leases all of its hotels to its wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary (or a subsidiary thereof) under hotel lease agreements. The Company also used the proceeds of its on-going best-efforts offering to pay approximately $3.8 million, representing 2% of the gross purchase price for these hotels, as a commission to Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. (“ASRG”), 100% owned by Glade M. Knight, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
No goodwill was recorded in connection with any of the acquisitions.
Each of the Company’s 12 hotels are operated and managed, under separate management agreements by affiliates of one of the following companies: MHH Management, LLC (“McKibbon”), Newport Hospitality Group, Inc. (“Newport”), Schulte Hospitality Group, Inc. (“Schulte”) or Stonebridge Realty Advisors, Inc. (“Stonebridge”). The agreements provide for initial terms of 5-10 years. Fees associated with the agreements generally include the payment of base management fees, incentive management fees, accounting fees, and other fees for centralized services which are allocated among all of the hotels that receive the benefit of such services. Base management fees are calculated as a percentage of gross revenues. Incentive management fees are calculated as a percentage of operating profit in excess of a priority return to the Company, as defined in the management agreements. The Company has the option to terminate the management agreements if specified performance thresholds are not satisfied. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 the Company incurred approximately $238,000 in management fee expense.
McKibbon, Newport, Schulte and Stonebridge are not affiliated with either Marriott or Hilton, and as a result, the hotels they manage were required to obtain separate franchise agreements with each respective franchisor. The Hilton franchise agreements generally provide for a term of 10 to 18 years. Fees associated with the agreements generally include the payment of royalty fees and program fees. The Marriott franchise agreements provide for an initial term of 15 to 20 years. Fees associated with the agreement includes the payment of royalty fees, marketing fees, reservation fees and a communications support fee based on room revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 the Company incurred approximately $338,000 in franchise fees.
During the period from the Company’s initial formation on August 13, 2010 to March 3, 2011, the Company owned no properties, had no revenue, exclusive of interest income and was primarily engaged in capital formation activities. The Company began operations on March 4, 2011 when it purchased its first hotel and has purchased an additional 11 hotel properties through June 30, 2011. As a result, a comparison of 2011 operating results to prior year results is not meaningful. Hotel performance is impacted by many factors including local competition, and local and general economic conditions in the United States.
Revenues
The Company’s principal source of revenue is hotel revenue, consisting of room and other related revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company had total revenue of approximately $6.6 million and $7.5 million. This revenue reflects hotel operations for the 12 hotels acquired through June 30, 2011 for their respective periods of ownership by the Company. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the hotels achieved combined average occupancy of approximately 76%, average daily rate (“ADR”) of $114 and revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) of $87. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the hotels achieved combined average occupancy of approximately 75%, average daily rate (“ADR”) of $116 and revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) of $86. ADR is calculated as room revenue divided by the number of rooms sold, and RevPAR is calculated as occupancy multiplied by ADR. These rates are consistent with industry and brand averages.
Expenses
Hotel operating expenses relate to the 12 hotels acquired through June 30, 2011 for their respective periods owned and consist of direct room expenses, hotel administrative expense, sales and marketing expense, utilities expense, repair and maintenance expense, franchise fees and management fees. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, hotel operating expenses totaled approximately $3.4 million or 51% of total revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, hotel operating expenses totaled approximately $3.9 million or 51% of total revenue.
Taxes, insurance, and other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 totaled approximately $401,000 or 6% of total revenue. Taxes, insurance, and other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 totaled approximately $465,000 or 6% of total revenue.
General and administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 totaled approximately $777,000 and $1.4 million. The principal components of general and administrative expense are advisory fees and reimbursable expenses, legal fees, accounting fees and reporting expense. The Company has incurred approximately $55,000 in legal costs in 2011. A significant portion of this is due to the legal and related matters discussed above and the Company anticipates it will continue to incur significant legal costs for at least the remainder of 2011.
Acquisition related costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were approximately $2.5 million and $4.5 million. The Company has expensed as incurred all transaction costs associated with the acquisitions of existing businesses, including title, legal, accounting and other related costs, as well as the brokerage commission paid to ASRG.
Depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 totaled approximately $884,000 and $1.1 million. Depreciation expense represents depreciation expense of the Company’s 12 hotel buildings and related improvements, and associated personal property (furniture, fixtures and equipment), for their respective periods owned.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized interest income of approximately $151,000 and $248,000. Interest income represents earnings on excess cash invested in short term money market instruments. Interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2011 totaled approximately $1,100 and primarily represents interest expense incurred on the Company’s short-term financing under a note payable which was outstanding from August 20, 2010 to January 27, 2011. The Company did not incur any interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company was initially capitalized on August 13, 2010, with its first investor closing on January 27, 2011. The Company’s principal source of liquidity is cash on hand, the proceeds of its on-going best-efforts offering and the cash flow generated from properties the Company has or will acquire and any short term investments. In addition, the Company may borrow funds, subject to the approval of the Company’s
21
Board of Directors.
The Company anticipates that cash flow, and cash on hand, will be adequate to cover its operating expenses and to permit the Company to meet its anticipated liquidity requirements, including capital improvements and anticipated distributions to shareholders. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Company’s on-going best-efforts offering, cash on hand and assumed secured debt to purchase income producing real estate.
To maintain its REIT status the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its ordinary income. Distributions during the first six months of 2011 totaled approximately $7.6 million and were paid at a monthly rate of $0.06875 per common share beginning in February 2011. For the same period, the Company’s cash used in operations was approximately $3.5 million. Due to the inherent delay between raising capital and investing that same capital in income producing real estate, the Company has had significant amounts of cash earning interest at short term money market rates. As a result, distributions paid through June 30, 2011 have been funded from proceeds from the on-going best-efforts offering of Units, and are expected to be treated as a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. In February 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors established a policy for an annualized distribution rate of $0.825 per common share, payable in monthly distributions. The Company intends to continue paying distributions on a monthly basis, consistent with the annualized distribution rate established by its Board of Directors. The Company’s Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, may amend or establish a new annualized distribution rate and may change the timing of when distributions are paid. The Company’s objective in setting a distribution rate is to project a rate that will provide consistency over the life of the Company taking into account acquisitions and capital improvements, ramp up of new properties and varying economic cycles. To meet this objective, the Company may require the use of debt or offering proceeds in addition to cash from operations. Since distributions to date have been funded with proceeds from the offering of Units, the Company’s ability to maintain its current intended rate of distribution will be based on its ability to fully invest its offering proceeds and thereby increase its cash generated from operations. As there can be no assurance of the Company’s ability to acquire properties that provide income at this level, or that the properties already acquired will provide income at this level, there can be no assurance as to the classification or duration of distributions at the current rate. Proceeds of the offering which are distributed are not available for investment in properties.
The Company is raising capital through a best-efforts offering of Units (each Unit consists of one common share and one Series A preferred share) by David Lerner Associates, Inc., the managing dealer, which receives selling commissions and a marketing expense allowance based on proceeds of the Units sold. The minimum offering of 9,523,810 Units at $10.50 per Unit was sold as of January 27, 2011, with proceeds net of commissions and marketing expenses totaling $90 million. Subsequent to the minimum offering and through June 30, 2011, an additional 25.9 million Units, at $11 per Unit, were sold, with the Company receiving proceeds, net of commissions, marketing expenses and other offering costs of approximately $255 million. The Company is continuing its offering at $11.00 per Unit. The Company will offer Units until January 19, 2013, unless the offer is extended, or terminated if all of the Units are sold before then. As of June 30, 2011, 146,838,294 Units remained unsold.
Prior to the commencement of the Company’s on-going best-efforts offering, the Company obtained an unsecured note payable in a principal amount of $400,000 to fund certain start-up costs and offering expenses. The note was fully paid during January 2011 with net proceeds from the Company’s on-going best-efforts offering.
The Company has on-going capital commitments to fund its capital improvements. The Company is required, under all of the hotel management agreements, to make available, for the repair, replacement, refurbishing of furniture, fixtures, and equipment, a percentage of gross revenues provided that such amount may be used for the Company’s capital expenditures with respect to the hotels. The Company expects that this amount will be adequate to fund required repair, replacement, and refurbishments and to maintain the Company’s hotels in a competitive condition.
22
As of June 30, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $142.8 million, primarily resulting from the sale of Units through that date. The Company intends to use funds generated from its ongoing best-efforts offering to invest in hotels and other income-producing real estate. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had outstanding contracts for the potential purchase of ten additional hotels for a total purchase price of $180.5 million. Of these ten hotels, two are under construction and should be completed by the end of 2011. Closing on these two hotels is expected upon completion of construction. The existing hotels are expected to close within the next six months. Although the Company is working towards acquiring these hotels, there are many conditions to closing that have not yet been satisfied and there can be no assurance that closings will occur under the outstanding purchase contracts. The following table summarizes the location, brand, number of rooms, refundable (if the seller does not meet its obligations under the contract) contract deposits paid, and gross purchase price for each of the contracts. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

(a) | These hotels are currently operational and assuming all conditions to closing are met should close within six months from June 30, 2011. |
(b) | The hotels are currently under construction. The table shows the expected number of rooms upon hotel completion and the expected franchise. Assuming all conditions to closing are met the purchase of these hotels should close by the end of 2011. |
(c) | Purchase contracts for these hotels require the Company to assume approximately $72.0 million in mortgage debt. The loans provide for monthly payments of principal and interest on an amortized basis. |
(d) | If the seller meets all of the conditions to closing, the Company is obligated to specifically perform under the contract. As the property is under construction, at this time, the seller has not met all of the conditions to closing. |
|
It is anticipated that the purchase price (less any debt assumed) for the outstanding contracts will be funded from the proceeds of the Company’s on-going best-efforts offering of Units and cash on hand if a closing occurs. |
Related Party Transactions
The Company has, and is expected to continue to engage in, significant transactions with related parties. These transactions cannot be construed to be at arm’s length and the results of the Company’s operations may be different if these transactions were conducted with non-related parties. The Company’s independent members of the Board of Directors oversee and annually review the Company’s related party relationships (which include the relationships discussed in this section) and are required to approve any significant modifications to the contracts, as well as any new significant related party transactions. The Board of Directors is not required to approve each individual transaction that falls under the related party
23
relationships. However, under the direction of the Board of Directors, at least one member of the Company’s senior management team approves each related party transaction.
The Company has a contract with ASRG, to acquire and dispose of real estate assets for the Company. A fee of 2% of the gross purchase price or gross sale price in addition to certain reimbursable expenses is paid to ASRG for these services. As of June 30, 2011, payments to ASRG for fees under the terms of this contract have totaled approximately $3.8 million since inception. Of this amount, $2.0 million was incurred during the three months ending June 30, 2011, and is included in acquisition related costs in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
The Company is party to an advisory agreement with A10A, pursuant to which A10A provides management services to the Company. An annual fee ranging from 0.1% to 0.25% of total equity proceeds received by the Company, in addition to certain reimbursable expenses, are payable for these services. Total advisory fees incurred by the Company under the advisory agreement are included in general and administrative expenses and totaled approximately $105,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
In addition to the fees payable to ASRG and A10A, the Company reimbursed A10A or ASRG or paid directly to Apple REIT Six, Inc. (“AR6”) on behalf of A10A or ASRG approximately $698,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The expenses reimbursed are approximately $350,000 for costs reimbursed under the contract with ASRG and approximately $348,000 of costs reimbursed under the contract with A10A. The costs are included in general and administrative expenses and are for the Company’s proportionate share of the staffing and related costs provided by AR6. The costs are actual costs with no markup or profit to AR6.
The advisors are staffed with personnel of AR6. AR6 provides similar staffing for Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (“A6A”), Apple Seven Advisors, Inc. (“A7A”), Apple Eight Advisors, Inc. (“A8A”) and Apple Nine Advisors, Inc. (“A9A”). A6A, A7A, A8A and A9A provide management services to, respectively, AR6, Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc. Although there is a potential conflict on time allocation of employees due to the fact that a senior manager, officer or staff member will provide services to more than one company, the Company believes that the executives and staff compensation sharing arrangement allows the companies to share costs yet attract and retain superior executives and staff. The cost sharing structure also allows each entity to maintain a much more cost effective structure than having separate staffing arrangements. Amounts reimbursed to AR6 include both compensation for personnel and “overhead” (office rent, utilities, benefits, office supplies, etc.) utilized by the companies. The allocation of costs from AR6 is made by the management of the several REITs and is reviewed at least annually by the Compensation Committees of the several REITs. In making the allocation, management and the Compensation Committee, consider all relevant facts related to the Company’s level of business activity and the extent to which the Company requires the services of particular personnel of AR6. Such payments are based on the actual costs of the services and are not based on formal record keeping regarding the time these personnel devote to the Company, but are based on a good faith estimate by the employee and/or his or her supervisor of the time devoted by the employee to the Company. As part of this arrangement, the day to day transactions may result in amounts due to or from the noted related parties. To efficiently manage cash disbursements, the individual companies may make payments for any or all of the related companies. The amounts due to or from the related individual companies are reimbursed or collected and are not significant in amount.
ASRG, A6A, A7A, A8A, A9A and A10A are 100% owned by Glade M. Knight, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Knight is also Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AR6, Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc. Members of the Company’s Board of Directors are also on the Board of Directors of Apple REIT Seven, Inc. and Apple REIT Eight, Inc.
During the first quarter of 2011, the Company entered into an assignment of contract with ASRG to become the purchaser of a Home2 Suites by Hilton (currently under construction) located in Charleston, South Carolina for a total purchase price of $13.9 million. ASRG entered into the assigned contract on November 5, 2010. Under the terms and conditions of the contract, ASRG assigned to the Company all of its rights and obligations under the purchase contract. There was no consideration paid to ASRG for this
24
assignment, other than the reimbursement of the deposit previously made by ASRG totaling $100,000. There was no profit for ASRG in the assignment.
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company has authorized 480,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock. The Company has issued 480,000 Series B convertible preferred shares to Glade M. Knight, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in exchange for the payment by him of $0.10 per Series B convertible preferred share, or an aggregate of $48,000. The Series B convertible preferred shares are convertible into common shares pursuant to the formula and on the terms and conditions set forth below.
There are no distributions payable on the Series B convertible preferred shares. Holders of more than two-thirds of the Series B convertible preferred shares must approve any proposed amendment to the articles of incorporation that would adversely affect the Series B convertible preferred shares.
Upon the Company’s liquidation, the holder of the Series B convertible preferred shares is entitled to a priority liquidation payment before any distribution of liquidation proceeds to the holders of the common shares. However, the priority liquidation payment of the holder of the Series B convertible preferred shares is junior to the holders of the Series A preferred shares distribution rights. The holder of a Series B convertible preferred share is entitled to a liquidation payment of $11 per number of common shares each Series B convertible preferred share would be convertible into according to the formula described below. In the event that the liquidation of the Company’s assets results in proceeds that exceed the distribution rights of the Series A preferred shares and the Series B convertible preferred shares, the remaining proceeds will be distributed between the common shares and the Series B convertible preferred shares, on an as converted basis.
Each holder of outstanding Series B convertible preferred shares shall have the right to convert any of such shares into common shares of the Company upon and for 180 days following the occurrence of any of the following events:
| |
| (1) substantially all of the Company’s assets, stock or business is sold or transferred through exchange, merger, consolidation, lease, share exchange, sale or otherwise, other than a sale of assets in liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; |
| |
| (2) the termination or expiration without renewal of the advisory agreement, or if the Company ceases to use ASRG to provide property acquisition and disposition services; or |
| |
| (3) the Company’s common shares are listed on any securities exchange or quotation system or in any established market. |
Upon the occurrence of any conversion event, each Series B convertible preferred share may be converted into a number of common shares based upon the gross proceeds raised through the date of conversion in the Company’s $2 billion offering according to the following table:
| | |
Gross Proceeds Raised from Sales of Units through Date of Conversion | | Number of Common Shares through Conversion of One Series B Convertible Preferred Share |
| |
|
$300 million | | 3.19885 |
$400 million | | 4.83721 |
$500 million | | 6.11068 |
$600 million | | 7.29150 |
$700 million | | 8.49719 |
$800 million | | 9.70287 |
$900 million | | 10.90855 |
$ 1 billion | | 12.11423 |

$1.1 billion | | 13.31991 |
$1.2 billion | | 14.52559 |
$1.3 billion | | 15.73128 |
$1.4 billion | | 16.93696 |
$1.5 billion | | 18.14264 |
$1.6 billion | | 19.34832 |
$1.7 billion | | 20.55400 |
$1.8 billion | | 21.75968 |
$1.9 billion | | 22.96537 |
$ 2 billion | | 24.17104 |
In the event that after raising gross proceeds of $2 billion, the Company raises additional gross proceeds in a subsequent public offering, each Series B convertible preferred share may be converted into an additional number of common shares based on the additional gross proceeds raised through the date of conversion in a subsequent public offering according to the following formula: (X/100 million) x 1.20568, where X is the additional gross proceeds rounded down to the nearest 100 million.
No additional consideration is due upon the conversion of the Series B convertible preferred shares. The conversion into common shares of the Series B convertible preferred shares will result in dilution of the shareholders’ interests.
Expense related to the issuance of 480,000 Series B convertible preferred shares to Mr. Knight will be recognized at such time when the number of common shares to be issued for conversion of the Series B shares can be reasonably estimated and the event triggering the conversion of the Series B shares to common shares occurs. The expense will be measured as the difference between the fair value of the common stock for which the Series B shares can be converted and the amounts paid for the Series B shares. Although the fair market value cannot be determined at this time, expense if the maximum offering is achieved could range from $0 to in excess of $127 million (assumes $11 per unit fair market value). Based on equity raised through June 30, 2011, if a triggering event had occurred, expense would have ranged from $0 to $16.9 million (assumes $11 per unit fair market value) and approximately 1.5 million common shares would have been issued.
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.
Business Interruption
Being in the real estate industry, the Company is exposed to natural disasters on both a local and national scale. 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 or results of operations.
Seasonality
The hotel industry historically has been seasonal in nature. Seasonal variations in occupancy at its hotels may cause quarterly fluctuations in its revenues. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, the Company expects to utilize cash on hand to make distributions.
Subsequent Events
In July 2011, the Company declared and paid approximately $2.4 million in dividend distributions to its common shareholders, or $0.06875 per outstanding common share.
26
During July 2011, the Company closed on the issuance of 1.5 million Units through its on-going best-efforts offering, representing gross proceeds to the Company of $16.4 million and proceeds net of selling and marketing costs of $14.8 million.
Subsequent to June 30, 2011, the Company closed on the purchase of two hotels. The following table summarizes the hotel information. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
The Company does not engage in transactions in derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. As of June 30, 2011, 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 will be exposed to changes in short term money market rates as it invests the proceeds from the sale of Units pending use in acquisitions and renovations. Based on the Company’s cash invested at June 30, 2011, of $142.8 million, every 100 basis points change in interest rates will impact the Company’s annual net income by approximately $1.4 million, all other factors remaining the same.
| |
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation process, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2011. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The complaint, purportedly brought on behalf of all purchasers of Units in the Company and Apple REIT Nine, Inc. from June 16, 2008 through and including June 17, 2011, asserts claims under Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and seeks, among other things, certification of the class, damages, rescission of share purchases and other costs and expenses. The complaint alleges, among other things, that: (1) the registration statements and prospectuses of the Company and Apple REIT Nine, Inc. failed to disclose material information concerning the value of the Units of the prior Apple REIT companies, (2) the operations and investment model implemented by the Company and Apple REIT Nine, Inc. are determined to lose investors’ capital, and (3) David Lerner Associates, Inc. solicited purchases of the Company and Apple REIT Nine, Inc. by means of false and misleading statements concerning the distributions paid by prior Apple REIT companies.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The Company faces many risks, a number of which are described under “Risk Factors” in its Prospectus and below. The risks so described may not be the only risks the Company faces. Additional risks of which the Company is not yet aware, or that currently are not significant, may also impair its operations or financial results. If any of the events or circumstances described in the risk factors contained in the Company’s Prospectus or described below occurs, the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company could suffer. The following updates the disclosures from “Risk Factors” previously disclosed in our Form S-11 Registration Statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with those risk factors.
The Company is subject to securities class action lawsuits and governmental regulatory oversight, which could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.
As a result of regulatory inquiries or other regulatory actions, or as a result of being publicly held, the Company may become subject to lawsuits. The Company is currently subject to three securities class action lawsuits and other suits may be filed against the Company in the future. Due to the preliminary status of the lawsuits and uncertainties related to litigation, the Company is unable at this time to evaluate the likelihood of either a favorable or unfavorable outcome or to estimate the range of potential exposure. If the outcome is unfavorable, the Company may be required to pay damages and/or change its business practices, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The Company has been and may continue to be subject to regulatory inquiries, which have resulted in and which could continue to result in costs and personnel time commitment to respond. It may also be subject to action by governing regulatory agencies, as a result of its activities, which could result in costs to respond and fines or changes in the Company’s business practices, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. For more information about the Company’s legal proceedings, see “Legal Proceedings.”
