The prospectus and this supplement contain forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the federal securities laws which are intended to be
covered by the safe harbors created by those laws. These statements include our
plans and objectives for future operations, including plans and objectives
relating to future growth and availability of funds. These forward-looking
statements are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and
uncertainties. Assumptions relating to these statements involve judgments with
respect to, among other things, the continuation of our offering of common
shares, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business
decisions. All of these matters are difficult or impossible to predict
accurately and many of them are beyond our control. Although we believe the
assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements, and the forward-looking
statements themselves, are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be
inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that these forward-looking
statements will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties
inherent in these forward-looking statements, the inclusion of this information
should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our
objectives and plans, which we consider to be reasonable, will be achieved.

STATUS OF THE OFFERING
We completed the minimum offering of common shares at $9 per share on
August 23, 1999. We are continuing the offering at $10 per share in accordance
with the prospectus.
As of March 17, 2000, we had closed on the following sales of our common
shares:

------------ ---------- ----------
TOTAL 3,922,922.67 $37,562,560 $33,806,304
============ ========== ==========
We have purchased, either directly or through our subsidiaries, a total of
11 extended-stay hotels with the net proceeds of our offering. All of our hotels
are licensed with Homewood Suites(R) by Hilton, which is a registered service
mark of Hilton Hotels Corporation. A summary of our hotels appears below.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
As discussed in detail below, we have a total of $68.6 million in notes
payable in connection with the purchase of our hotels. Final principal payments
are due as follows: (a) $34 million on October 1, 2000, (b) $30.2 million on
November 1, 2000, and (c) $4.4 million on January 1, 2001. We plan to pay these
notes with the proceeds from our continuous "best efforts" offering of common
shares. However, based on the current rate at which equity is being raised by
the offering, we may need to seek other measures to repay these loans. We
currently are holding discussions with several lenders to obtain financing for
the hotels and are exploring both unsecured and secured financing arrangements.
Although no firm financing commitments have been received, we believe,
based on discussions with lenders and other market indicators, that we can
obtain sufficient financing prior to maturity of the notes. Obtaining
refinancing is dependent upon a number of factors, including: (a) continued
operation of the hotels at or near current occupancy and room rate levels, as
the hotel leases are based on a percentage of hotel suite income, (b) the
general level of interest rates, including credit spreads for real estate based
lending, and (c) general economic conditions.
There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing to repay our
current outstanding debt. If we are unable to obtain such financing and if our
offering proceeds are insufficient, we would be subject to a number of default
remedies, including possible loss of the hotels through foreclosure. Depending
on the terms of any financing
S-2
we obtain, we may need to modify our borrowing policy, as described in the
prospectus, of holding our properties on an all-cash basis over the long-term.
COMPANY MANAGEMENT
On August 16, 1999, we added four individuals to our board of directors.
Those four individuals are Lisa B. Kern, Bruce H. Matson, Michael S. Waters and
Robert M. Wily (all of whom are described in the prospectus).
On the same date, Glade M. Knight, who is our Chairman, Chief Executive
Officer and President, was authorized by the board of directors to close the
purchase of hotels on our behalf as he deems in our best interests. He also was
authorized to cause us to borrow, on either a secured or an unsecured basis, up
to 75% of the purchase price for such hotels. We expect to repay any such
borrowing from the proceeds of our ongoing offering and sale of common shares.
There can be no assurance, however, that we will actually receive proceeds
sufficient for that purpose.
From August 1999 through March 2000, C. Douglas Schepker served as our
Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. His duties were assumed by
Glade M. Knight in March 2000.

PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS
OVERVIEW
We used the proceeds from our offering of common shares to pay 25% of the
purchase price for each hotel to Promus Hotels, Inc., or an affiliate, as the
seller. Promus Hotels, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hilton Hotels
Corporation. The balance, or 75% of the purchase price for each hotel, is being
financed by Promus Hotels, Inc. as short-term or "bridge financing" (described
in further detail below). We paid a 2% real estate commission on the total
purchase price for each hotel to Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc., as our real
estate broker. This corporation is owned by Glade M. Knight, who is our
president and chief executive officer. The following table summarizes the
purchase information for our hotels:

OWNERSHIP AND LEASING OF HOTELS
We directly purchased the hotels located in states other than Texas. The
hotels that we own directly have been leased to Apple Suites Management, Inc.
under a master hotel lease agreement dated as of September 20, 1999. This
agreement is among the material contracts described below.
We purchased the hotels in Texas through one of our subsidiaries, Apple
Suites REIT Limited Partnership, a Virginia limited partnership, based on
business and tax planning considerations. We have two wholly-owned subsidiaries
that serve as the sole general partner and sole limited partner of this limited
partnership. The sole general partner is Apple Suites General, Inc., a Virginia
corporation. It holds a one percent partnership interest. The sole limited
partner is Apple Suites LP, Inc., a Virginia corporation. It holds a ninety-nine
percent partnership interest. Glade M. Knight is the sole director of these two
corporate partners.
Under a master hotel lease agreement dated as of September 20, 1999, the
three hotels in Texas have been leased to Apple Suites Services Limited
Partnership, a Virginia limited partnership. This limited partnership is a
subsidiary of Apple Suites Management, Inc. Two direct wholly-owned subsidiaries
of Apple Suites Management, Inc. serve as the sole general partner and sole
limited partner of the limited partnership. The sole general partner is Apple
Suites Services General, Inc., a Virginia corporation. It holds a one percent
partnership interest. The sole limited partner is Apple Suites Services Limited,
Inc., a Virginia corporation. It holds a ninety-nine percent partnership
interest. Glade M. Knight is the sole director of these two corporate partners.
The following chart shows the ownership and leasing structure for our
hotels in Texas:

[GRAPHICS OMITTED]
For simplicity, the general term "Apple Suites Management" will be used
where appropriate as a combined reference to the entities that lease our hotels
(Apple Suites Management, Inc. and its subsidiary, Apple Suites Services Limited
Partnership).
HOTEL SUPPLIES AND FRANCHISE FEES
We have provided Apple Suites Management with funds for the purchase of
certain hotel supplies (such as sheets, towels and so forth), and with funds for
the payment of hotel franchise fees to Promus Hotels, Inc. Apple Suites
Management is obligated to repay us under the promissory notes described below:
S-6
Month of Principal Amount Principal Amount
Promissory Note (Supplies) (Franchise Fees)
--------------- ---------- ----------------
September 1999 $ 47,800 $215,550
October 1999 12,400 55,800
November 1999 52,500 251,550
December 1999 9,100 45,000
------ -------
TOTAL $121,800 $567,900
======= =======
Each promissory note provides for an annual interest rate of nine percent
(9%), which would increase to twelve percent (12%) if a default occurs. After
the initial payment of interest only, amortized payments of principal and
interest are due in monthly installments. The promissory notes with respect to
hotel supplies are payable to us in sixty-one (61) monthly installments. The
promissory notes with respect to franchise fees are payable to us in one hundred
twenty-one (121) monthly installments.
DESCRIPTION OF FINANCING
As indicated above, Promus Hotels, Inc. is financing 75% of the purchase
price of our hotels. The amounts we owe to Promus Hotels, Inc. are evidenced by
the following promissory notes:
Original Remaining
Month of Principal Principal as of Annual Rate Date of
Promissory Note Amount March 1, 2000 of Interest Maturity
--------------- ------ ------------- ----------- --------
September 1999 $26,625,000 $26,625,000 8.5% October 1, 2000

December 1999 $ 4,384,500 $ 4,384,500 8.5% January 1, 2001
----------- -----------
TOTAL $68,569,500 $68,569,500
========== ==========
We consider the financing from Promus Hotels, Inc. to be "bridge financing"
because of its short-term nature (that is, each promissory note reaches maturity
within approximately one year of its date of execution). Despite the temporary
use of bridge financing, over the long-term we will seek to hold our properties
on an all-cash basis, as indicated in the prospectus.
The promissory notes have several provisions in common, which include the
following:
o monthly interest payments, based on the actual number of days per
month
o our delivery of monthly notices to specify the net equity proceeds
from our offering
o our right to prepay the notes, in whole or in part, without premium or
penalty
o a late payment premium of four percent (4%) for any payment not made
within ten (10) days of its due date
S-7
Revenue from the operation of the hotels will be used to pay interest under
the promissory notes we have made to Promus Hotels, Inc. The "net equity
proceeds" from our offering of common shares will be the source of our principal
payments. The phrase "net equity proceeds" means the total proceeds from our
offering of common shares, as reduced by selling commissions, a marketing
expense allowance, closing costs, various fees and charges (legal, accounting,
and so forth), a working capital reserve and a reserve for renovations, repairs
and replacements of capital improvements.
Under an October 1999 letter agreement, we were permitted to use such net
equity proceeds to pay 25% of the purchase price for additional hotels,
including the hotels we purchased in November and December of 1999. Furthermore,
Hilton Hotels Corporation, the parent company of Promus Hotels, Inc. has agreed
to defer principal payments until the earlier of April 28, 2000 or our purchase
of two additional extended-stay hotels licensed with Homewood Suites(R) by
Hilton. Otherwise, to the extent that we have such net equity proceeds, we are
obligated to make monthly principal payments under the promissory notes dated as
of September 20, 1999 and October 5, 1999. Once those promissory notes are paid
in full, we will have a similar obligation to make monthly principal payments
under the other promissory notes. Assuming the September and October promissory
notes are paid in full by their common maturity date of October 1, 2000,
principal under the November promissory note will be due in two monthly
installments ending on December 1, 2000, and principal under the remaining
promissory note will be due in a single installment on its maturity date of
January 1, 2001.
To date, we have made all scheduled interest payments under the promissory
notes. The aggregate amount of our interest payments through March 2000 is
$2,508,767.
There can be no assurance that the net equity proceeds from our offering of
common shares will be sufficient to pay principal under the promissory notes on
or before the required due dates. The following amounts would be due on the
maturity dates of the promissory notes, assuming that interest payments continue
to be made on schedule and that no payments of principal are made before those
maturity dates:
Month of Date of If Principal Due Then Total Due
Promissory Note Maturity at Maturity Equals at Maturity Equals
--------------- -------- ------------------ ------------------
September 1999 October 1, 2000 $26,625,000 $26,811,010
October 1999 October 1, 2000 $ 7,350,000 $ 7,401,349
November 1999 December 1, 2000 $30,210,000 $30,421,056
December 1999 January 1, 2001 $ 4,384,500 $ 4,415,131
----------- ----------
TOTAL $68,569,500 $69,048,546
========== ==========
In the event of a default under the promissory notes, various remedies are
available to Promus Hotels, Inc. under certain deeds of trust, which are
described below in the Summary of Material Contracts.
S-8
LICENSING AND MANAGEMENT
We expect that our hotels will continue to be licensed with Homewood
Suites(R) by Hilton. To help achieve that result, Apple Suites Management has
executed separate license agreements with Promus Hotels, Inc. for each of our
hotels. Promus Hotels, Inc. is managing each of the hotels under separate
management agreements with Apple Suites Management. These license and management
agreements are among the material contracts described below.
POTENTIAL ECONOMIC RISK AND BENEFIT INVOLVING APPLE SUITES MANAGEMENT
Because federal tax laws prohibit us from directly operating our hotels, we
have leased them to Apple Suites Management, Inc. or its subsidiary (Apple
Suites Services Limited Partnership). Our president and chief executive officer,
Glade M. Knight, is the sole shareholder of Apple Suites Management, Inc.
The master hotel lease agreements have been structured to minimize, to the
extent possible, the economic benefit to Apple Suites Management, Inc. and to
maximize the rental income we receive from the hotels. However, revenues from
operating the hotels may exceed payment obligations under the master hotel lease
agreements, the license agreements and the management agreements. To the extent
that operating income remains after those payment obligations are met, Apple
Suites Management, Inc. will realize an economic benefit. The extent of this
potential economic benefit cannot be determined at this time because it depends,
in part, on future hotel revenues.
Apple Suites Management, Inc. has agreed that it will retain its net
income, if any, rather than distribute such income to Glade M. Knight. This
agreement will remain in effect for the duration of the master hotel lease
agreements, to help ensure that Apple Suites Management, Inc. will be able to
make its rent payments.
If the cash flow from the operations of the hotels and the retained
earnings of Apple Suites Management, Inc. are insufficient to make the rental
payments due under the master lease agreements, Apple Suites Management, Inc.
can receive additional funding under two funding commitments. The funding
commitments are dated as of September 17, 1999, and have been made by Glade M.
Knight and Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc., which is wholly-owned by Mr. Knight.
These funding commitments are payable on demand by Apple Suites Management, Inc.
Under each funding commitment, Apple Suites Management, Inc. can make one or
more demands for funding, subject to two qualifications. First, the aggregate
payments under the funding commitments shall not exceed $2 million. Second, the
demands for payment shall be limited, in amount and frequency, to those demands
that are reasonably necessary to satisfy any capitalization or net worth
requirements of Apple Suites Management, Inc., or payment obligations under the
master hotel lease agreements for our hotels. Apple Suites Management, Inc. is
not required to repay the funds it receives under the funding commitments.
S-9
SUMMARY OF MATERIAL CONTRACTS
DEEDS OF TRUST AND RELATED DOCUMENTS
Each of our hotels is subject to a mortgage on its real property, a
security interest in its personal property, and an assignment of hotel rents and
revenues, all in favor of Promus Hotels, Inc. (As described above, Promus
Hotels, Inc. provided financing for our hotel purchases). These encumbrances are
created by substantially similar documents. For simplicity, we will refer to
each of these documents as a "deed of trust."
Each deed of trust corresponds to one of the promissory notes we made to
Promus Hotels, Inc., and secures the payment of principal and interest under
that promissory note. The encumbrance created by a deed of trust will terminate
when its corresponding promissory note is paid in full.
We are subject to various requirements under the deeds of trust. For
instance, we must maintain adequate insurance on the hotels and we must not
grant any further assignments of rents or leases with respect to the hotels.
Each deed of trust contains a substantially similar definition of events of
default. In each case, the events of default include (without limitation) any
default that occurs under any of the promissory notes or under another deed of
trust, and any sale of the secured property without the prior consent of Promus
Hotels, Inc. Upon any event of default, various remedies are available to Promus
Hotels, Inc. Those remedies include, for example (a) declaring the entire
principal balance under the promissory notes, and all accrued and unpaid
interest, to be due and payable immediately; (b) taking possession of the
secured property, including the hotels; and (c) collecting hotel rents and
revenues, or foreclosing on the hotels, to satisfy unpaid amounts under the
promissory notes. Each deed of trust requires us to pay any costs that may be
incurred in exercising such remedies.
At each closing on our purchase of a hotel or group of hotels, we further
encumbered the hotels we already owned with additional deeds of trust or with
negative pledges. The negative pledges apply to three of our hotels (Richmond -
West End, Clearwater and Baltimore - BWI Airport). The negative pledges prohibit
any transfer or further encumbrance of the hotels, in whole or in part, without
the prior written consent of Promus Hotels, Inc. Each negative pledge was
executed concurrently with a particular promissory note, and will terminate when
its corresponding promissory note is paid in full.
ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNITIES
A separate environmental indemnity applies to each of our hotels. The
indemnities are substantially similar and protect Promus Hotels, Inc. in the
event that we undertake any corrective work to remove or eliminate hazardous
materials from the hotels. Hazardous materials are defined in the indemnities to
include, for example, asbestos and other toxic materials. We are not aware of
any hazardous materials at the hotels, but there can be no assurance that such
materials are not present.
S-10
Under the indemnities, we have agreed to indemnify and protect Promus
Hotels, Inc. from any losses that it may incur because of (a) the
nonperformance, or delayed performance and completion, of corrective work; or
(b) the enforcement of the indemnities. The indemnity for a particular hotel
corresponds to the promissory note that was executed at closing on the purchase
of that hotel. In general, each indemnity will terminate when its corresponding
promissory note is paid in full. However, the indemnities will continue with
respect to those litigation or administrative claims, if any, that involve
indemnified losses and that are pending at the date of full payment. In
addition, for a period of four years after the date of such full payment, we
will be obligated to pay any enforcement costs for subsequent litigation or
administrative claims.
MASTER HOTEL LEASE AGREEMENTS
All of our hotels, except the hotels in Texas, have been leased to Apple
Suites Management, Inc. These leases were created by a master hotel lease
agreement dated September 20, 1999, which has been supplemented to include the
hotels we purchased after that date. The hotels in Texas have been leased to
Apple Suites Services Limited Partnership under a separate and substantially
similar master hotel lease agreement dated September 20, 1999.
Each master hotel lease agreement has an initial term of ten years. Apple
Suites Management has the option to extend the lease term for two additional
five-year periods, provided that Apple Suites Management is not in default at
the end of the prior term or at the time the option is exercised. If the first
option is exercised, rental payments would continue to be adjusted as provided
in the master lease agreement. If the second option is exercised, we must
negotiate in good faith with Apple Suites Management to adjust the rental
payments to a market rate for similar hotels. If no agreement can be reached,
rental terms would be determined by an independent panel of experts in
evaluating hotel REIT leases.
We may terminate a master hotel lease agreement if we sell the hotels to a
third party, if there is a change of control of Apple Suites Management, or
based on any amendments to the Internal Revenue Code that would permit our
direct operation of the hotels or would make the lease structure unnecessary.
Upon any termination, we must compensate Apple Suites Management by paying the
fair market value of the lease as of such termination, or by offering to lease
one or more substitute hotels.
The master hotel lease agreements provide for an annual base rent, a
quarterly percentage rent and a quarterly sundry rent. Base rent is payable in
advance in equal monthly installments. Beginning in 2001, the base rent will be
adjusted annually in proportion to the Consumer Price Index. The following table
shows the initial base rents for each hotel:
S-11
Base Rent
Name of Hotel (1999 and 2000)
- ------------ ---------------
Dallas - Addison $638,220
Dallas - Irving/Las Colinas 824,340
North Dallas - Plano 501,930
Richmond - West End 674,190
Atlanta - Galleria/Cumberland 661,320
Atlanta - Peachtree 414,150

Clearwater 664,150
Detroit - Warren 408,450
Salt Lake City - Midvale 438,150
Jackson - Ridgeland 462,750
Percentage rent is payable quarterly. The percentage rent for a particular
hotel depends on a formula that compares fixed "suite revenue breakpoints" with
a portion of "suite revenue," which is equal to gross revenue from suite rentals
(less sales and room taxes). Specifically, the percentage rent is equal to the
sum of (a) 17% of all year-to-date suite revenue, up to the applicable suite
revenue breakpoint; plus (b) 55% of the year-to-date suite revenue in excess of
the applicable suite revenue breakpoint, as reduced by base rent and percentage
rent paid year-to-date. Beginning in 2001, the suite revenue breakpoints will be
adjusted in proportion to the Consumer Price Index. Suite revenue breakpoints
have been determined for the first quarter of each year during the initial term
of the master hotel lease agreements. The suite revenue breakpoints for
subsequent quarters are determined by multiplying the first quarter values by
two, three or four, respectively. The following table shows the initial suite
revenue breakpoints for each hotel, before any adjustment due to the Consumer
Price Index:

The sundry rent is payable quarterly and equals 99% of all sundry revenue,
which consists of revenue other than suite revenue less the amount of sundry
rent paid year-to-date.
Under the master hotel lease agreements, Apple Suites Management must pay
all taxes, other than real estate and personal property taxes, imposed on the
hotels. In addition, Apple Suites Management must provide and pay for hotel
utilities, such as electricity, gas, oil, water and sewer service. Apple Suites
Management also must maintain and pay for insurance with respect to the hotels,
including building insurance (with earthquake and flood insurance), equipment
insurance (against loss or damage to steam boilers and similar apparatus) and
loss of income insurance.
The master hotel lease agreements require Apple Suites Management to
maintain the hotels in good order and repair, except for ordinary wear and tear.
This requirement applies to any underground utilities and the structural
elements of the hotels, including the exterior walls and roofs. We are obligated
to maintain a reserve fund for periodic repair, replacement or refurbishing of
furniture, fixtures and equipment. Our payments to this reserve fund may equal
up to 5% of suite revenue.
HOTEL LICENSE AGREEMENTS
Each of our hotels is licensed with Homewood Suites(R) by Hilton under
separate and substantially similar license agreements with Promus Hotels, Inc..
Under the license agreements, Apple Suites Management has the right to operate
the hotels using the "System" established for all properties licensed with
Homewood Suites(R) by Hilton. The "System" includes access to a reservation
system, to advertising methods, to a "Standards Manual," and to other training,
information, programs and policies.
In exchange, Apple Suites Management has agreed to numerous requirements
and restrictions applicable to its operation of the hotel. Apple Suites
Management is also required to pay royalties and other fees, as described below.
Apple Suites Management will be subject to various operational requirements
pursuant to the license agreements and the Standards Manual. The Standards
Manual is subject to change at
S-13
any time. (As described below, Promus Hotels, Inc. will act as the manager of
the hotels under separate management agreements.) As a practical matter, many of
the requirements in the license agreements and Standards Manual will be the
responsibility of Promus Hotels, Inc. However, certain requirements will remain
the practical responsibility of Apple Suites Management. Furthermore, the
failure of Promus Hotels, Inc. to comply with the management agreements will
not, by itself, relieve Apple Suites Management from its obligations under the
license agreements. In such event, the remedies available to Apple Suites
Management may be limited to monetary damages for breach of the hotel management
agreements.
The hotels must be operated in accordance with the requirements established
by Promus Hotels, Inc. These requirements cover matters such as the types of
services and products that may be offered at the hotel, the style and type of
signage, the appearance and condition of the hotel, the use of the reservations
system for guests, adherence to a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee rule of operation,
required insurance coverage and other requirements.
Under the license agreements, Apple Suites Management may use the System
only during the 20-year term of the license agreements. The license agreements
are subject to early termination for various reasons, including default by Apple
Suites Managemen or its efforts to obtain bankruptcy protection. If a license
agreement is terminated for any reason, the hotel must immediately cease to
identify itself as having a license with Homewood Suites(R) by Hilton.
Apple Suites Management must pay the following monthly amounts to Promus
Hotels, Inc. in accordance with the license agreements: (a) A royalty fee equal
to 4% of the gross suites revenues (less sales and room taxes) received from
rental of suites at the hotels; (b) a marketing contribution equal to 4% of
gross suites revenues; (c) any amounts due Promus Hotels, Inc. for goods or
services provided by Promus Hotels, Inc. to Apple Suites Management; and (d) the
amount of sales, gross receipts or similar taxes imposed on Promus Hotels, Inc.
as a result of each payment described above. The 4% marketing contribution is
subject to change by Promus Hotels, Inc. from time to time. Furthermore, there
is no assurance that the marketing contribution from a hotel will be used to
fund advertising or marketing with respect to the hotel actually making the
contribution.
Under the license agreements, Promus Hotels, Inc. may require Apple Suites
Management to upgrade hotel facilities from time to time to meet current
standards, as then specified in the Standards Manual. We expect to pay the costs
of any required upgrades from the proceeds of our ongoing offering of common
shares, although there can be no assurance that such proceeds will be sufficient
for this purpose.
HOTEL MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
Each of our hotels is being managed by Promus Hotels, Inc. or an affiliate.
To simplify the following discussion, the manager will be referred to as "Promus
Hotels." The management of our hotels is governed by separate and substantially
similar management agreements with Apple Suites Management.
S-14
The management agreements require Promus Hotels to operate the hotels in
conformity with the hotel license agreements described above. Promus Hotels will
be responsible for directing the day-to-day activities of the hotels and
establishing policies and procedures relating to the management and operation of
the hotels.
As part of its responsibilities for directing the day-to-day activities of
the hotels, Promus Hotels will hire, supervise and determine the compensation
and terms of employment of all hotel personnel. Promus Hotels also will
determine the terms for admittance, room rates and all use of hotel rooms.
Promus Hotels will select and purchase all operating equipment and supplies for
the hotels. Promus Hotels will be responsible for (a) advertising and promoting
the hotels in coordination with the requirements of the license agreements
described above; and (b) obtaining and maintaining any permits and licenses
required to operate the hotels.
Each year, Promus Hotels will submit a proposed operating budget for each
hotel to Apple Suites Management for its approval. Each budget will include a
business plan describing the business objectives and strategies for each hotel
for the period covered by the budget. In addition, Promus Hotels will submit a
recommended capital budget to Apple Suites Management for its approval. The
capital budget will apply to furnishings, equipment and ordinary hotel capital
replacements needed to operate the hotels in accordance with the hotel license
agreements. At a minimum, each year's budget for capital improvements will
provide for capital expenditures that are required to meet the minimum standards
of the hotel license agreement, subject to the following limits: (a) 3% of
adjusted gross revenues for the first full year after the commencement of the
management agreement; (b) 4% of adjusted gross revenues for the second full year
after the commencement of the management agreement; and (c) 5% of adjusted gross
revenues for each year thereafter.
In exchange for performing the services described above, Promus Hotels will
receive a management fee, payable monthly. The management fee will equal 4% of
adjusted gross revenues. Adjusted gross revenues are defined generally as all
revenues derived from the hotels, as reduced by (a) refunds; (b) sales and other
similar taxes; (c) proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the hotels,
furnishings and other capital assets; (d) fire and extended coverage insurance
proceeds; (e) credits or refunds made to customers; (f) condemnation awards; (g)
proceeds of financing or refinancing of the hotels; (h) interest on bank
accounts; and (i) gratuities or service charges added to a customer's bill.
Prior to the second anniversary of the management agreement, a portion of
the management fee, equal to 1% of adjusted gross revenues, will be subordinated
to payment of a basic return to Apple Suites Management. The basic return is
generally equal to 11% of the purchase price for each hotel (and related
acquisition costs).
Each management agreement has a 15-year term. However, Apple Suites
Management may terminate any management agreement after its tenth anniversary.
If it does so, Promus Hotels will be entitled to a termination fee. The
termination fee generally is equal to (a) the aggregate management fees earned
during the preceding 24 months, if the termination occurs after the tenth
anniversary but on or before the 14th anniversary of the effective date of the
management agreement; or (b) the average monthly management fee earned during
the preceding
S-15
24 months times the number of full calendar months remaining in the term, if the
termination occurs after the 14th anniversary of the effective date of the
management agreement.
In addition, if the hotel license agreement for a particular hotel is
terminated, Promus Hotels may terminate the corresponding management agreement.
If Promus Hotels terminates the management agreement it will be entitled to a
termination fee equal to (a) an amount that ranges from $426,690 to $899,000
(depending on the hotel involved) if the termination occurs within two years of
the effective date of the management agreement; (b) 150% of the aggregate
monthly management fees earned during the preceding 24 months, if the
termination occurs after the second anniversary but on or before the tenth
anniversary of the effective date of the management agreement; (c) 75% of the
aggregate monthly management fees earned during the preceding 24 months, if the
termination occurs after the tenth anniversary but on or before the 14th
anniversary of the effective date of the management agreement; or (d) the
average monthly management fee earned during the preceding 24 months times the
number of full calendar months remaining in the term, if the termination occurs
after the 14th anniversary of the effective date of the management agreement.
Beginning in the first full calendar year of operations, Apple Suites
Management may terminate a management agreement if Promus Hotels fails to
achieve, in any two consecutive calendar years, a gross operating profit which
is at least equal to 85% of the annual budgeted gross operating profit. Promus
Hotels can avoid termination by making a cash payment to Apple Suites Management
that equals the difference between the gross operating profits achieved and 85%
of the budgeted gross operating profits for the second such year. Generally,
gross operating profit is defined as the amount by which adjusted gross revenues
exceed operating costs.
COMFORT LETTERS
Our decision to lease our hotels to Apple Suites Management is based upon
certain technical tax considerations that apply to us as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes. To address operational complexities and other potential
problems that may arise from using Apple Suites Management as the lessee of our
hotels and the party to the license agreements and management agreements, we
have entered into separate and substantially similar "Comfort Letters" with
Promus Hotels, Inc. with respect to each hotel. The comfort letters grant us
certain rights if problems arise under such agreements, or if the lease
structure is no longer necessary for tax purposes. The chief provisions of the
comfort letters are described below.
First, as long as we are the owner of the hotel and its corresponding
license agreement is in effect, Promus Hotels, Inc. has agreed to notify us of
any breach of any license agreement or management agreement by the lessee. We
will have 10 days to cure any monetary default and 30 days to cure any
non-monetary default. There is no opportunity to cure defaults not capable of
being cured (such as bankruptcy of the lessee or a transfer in violation of the
license agreement), but in such situation, a default would occur under the lease
and we would be able to terminate the lease.
Second, if there is a default under the lease and we elect to terminate the
lease, we have the right, which may be exercised within 90 days after giving
notice of termination to Promus
S-16
Hotels, Inc., to enter into a new lease agreement with a successor lessee. In
general, any such successor lessee must be majority owned and controlled by us
or our affiliates (which includes our directors and executive officers), must be
a person or entity that has adequate financial resources to perform under the
lease and must have a favorable reputation for integrity. The successor lessee
cannot be the franchisor or operator of a competing chain of hotels. If we enter
into a new lease, the successor lessee will have a right to enter into a new
license agreement and new management agreement with Promus Hotels, Inc. for the
balance of the original terms of those agreements. However, if we are unable to
provide a qualified successor lessee within such 90-day period, the license
agreement may be terminated at the option of Promus Hotels, Inc. and we will be
obligated to pay liquidated damages to Promus Hotels, Inc. In general,
liquidated damages are an amount equal to the total fees payable under the
license agreement for the three years prior to termination. If the hotel has
been open for less than three years, the amount is equal to the greater of: (a)
36 times the monthly average of fees payable for the period during which the
hotel has been open; or (b) 36 times the amount payable for the last full month
of operation prior to termination. If the hotel is open but has not been in
operation for a full month, liquidated damages equal $3,000 per suite in the
hotel.
Third, the comfort letters provide that if the income tax rules that apply
to REITs are amended to permit us to operate the hotel directly, we may give
notice of such tax change to Promus Hotels, Inc. and of our election to
terminate the lease. We then have the right to enter into a new license
agreement and a new management agreement for a term equal to the balance of the
original terms of such agreements.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES
Each of our hotels is an extended-stay hotel, and is licensed with Homewood
Suites(R) by Hilton. We believe that the majority of the guests at the hotels
during the past 12 months have been business travelers. We expect that this
pattern will continue.
Each suite consists of a bedroom and a living room, with an adjacent
kitchen area. The basic suite is known as a "Homewood Suite," which generally
has one double or king-size bed. Larger suites, known as "Master Suites" or
"Extended Double Suites" are also available. These suites have larger rooms,
with either one king-size bed or two smaller beds. The largest suites contain
two separate bedrooms. Wheelchair-accessible suites are available at each hotel.
The suites have many features and amenities in common. Most suites have
ceiling fans and two color televisions (one in the bedroom and one in the living
room). Some suites have fireplaces. Typical living room furniture includes a
sofa (often a fold-out sleeper sofa), coffee table and work/dining table with
chairs. Some living rooms contain a recliner and a videocassette player. The
kitchens vary, but generally have a microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, coffee
maker and stove, together with basic cookware and utensils.
The hotel are marketed, in part, through the website for Homewood Suites(R)
by Hilton (http://www.homewood-suites.com), which is generally available 24
hours a day, seven days a week, around the world. Reservations may be made
directly through the web site. The
S-17
reservation system and the web site are linked to, and cross-marketed with, the
reservation systems and web sites for other hotel franchises that are owned and
operated by Hilton Hotel Corporation. Such cross-marketing may affect occupancy
at our hotels by directing travelers or potential guests toward, or away from,
our hotels.
The hotels were actively conducting business on the date of purchase. We
believe that the purchases were conducted without materially disrupting any
daily hotel operations. During the past 12 months, the hotels have been covered
with property and liability insurance, and we have arranged to continue such
coverage. We believe the hotels are adequately covered by insurance.
DALLAS - ADDISON
The Homewood Suites(R) Dallas - Addison is located on a 3.3 acre site at
4451 Beltline Road, Addison, Texas 75244. The hotel is approximately 15 miles
from downtown Dallas and 25 miles from the Dallas/Fort Worth International
Airport.
The hotel opened in July 1990. It has wood frame construction, with an
exterior of brick veneer and stucco. The hotel consists of four buildings, each
with two or three stories. The hotel contains 120 suites, which have a combined
rentable area of 61,440 square feet. The following types of suites are
available:
Type of Suite Number Available Square Feet/per Suite
-------------- ---------------- ---------------------
Master Suite 24 590
Homewood Suite 88 460
Two-Bedroom Suite 8 850
The hotel offers a 40-seat breakfast/lounge area, a meeting room that
accommodates 25 to 30 people, and a business center that offers guests the use
of a personal computer, a photocopier and an electric typewriter. Recreational
facilities include an outdoor pool, a whirlpool and an exercise room. The hotel
also contains a guest convenience store and laundry. The hotel has its own
parking lot with 136 spaces. The hotel provides complimentary shuttle service
within a 3 mile radius.
We believe that the hotel has been generally well maintained and is
generally in very good condition. Over the next 12 months, we plan to spend
approximately $400,000 on renovations or improvements. We expect that the
principal renovations and improvements will include: upgrading bathrooms and
kitchens, providing additional signage and replacing exterior doors. We expect
to pay for the costs of these renovations and improvements with proceeds from
our ongoing offering of common shares.
During 1999, the average stay at the hotel was approximately 6.2 nights,
and approximately 64.3% of the guests have stayed for five nights or more. In
general, occupancy at
S-18
the hotel is not seasonal. The following table shows average daily occupancy
rates, expressed as a percentage, for the last five years:
Average Daily Occupancy Rate (calendar year)
1995 1996 1997 1998 1999
---- ---- ---- ---- ----
83.9% 78.4% 78.1% 76.9 % 73.8%
During 1999, the average daily rate per suite was $89.87, and the average
daily revenue per available suite was $66.30. As explained above, revenue from
the hotel's operations will be used to pay interest due under the promissory
note we executed in connection with our purchase of the hotel. There can be no
assurance, however, the proceeds of the offering will be sufficient to permit
such payments of principal. Assuming that no principal payments are made until
the maturity of the promissory note, and that the hotel continues to have the
level of revenue specified above, approximately 20.9% of the hotel's revenue
would be needed to cover its portion of the interest payments.
The hotel's current rate structure is based on length of stay and type of
suite, as summarized below:
Length of Stay Master Master
(number of nights) Homewood (king) (double) Two Bedroom
- ------------------ -------- ------ -------- -----------
1 to 4 $139 $139 $139 $179
5 to 11 109 109 109 149
12 to 29 89 89 89 129
30 or more 79 79 79 119
The hotel offers a weekend discount, which varies by type of suite and may
equal up to 33% off the basic rate. The discount is not available to guests who
stay for five nights or more. The hotel also offers discounts to guests who stay
under certain corporate accounts. These discounts are often negotiated with the
corporate customer and vary from account to account. During 1999, we estimate
that approximately 36.7% of the hotel's guests received a corporate discount.
The chief corporate accounts (as designated in the hotel's records)
include: MBNA, CSC, Santa Fe International, Lucent Technologies, Lawson
Software, People Soft, Business Jet, Stonebridge Technology and Acclivus. During
1999, the 10 largest corporate accounts were responsible for approximately 6.8%
of the hotel's occupancy. There can be no assurance, however, that the hotel
will continue to receive significant occupancy, or any occupancy, from the
corporate accounts identified above.
The table below shows the average effective annual rental per square foot
for the last five years:
S-19
1995 1996 1997 1998 1999
---- ---- ---- ---- ----
$56.35 $55.18 $54.05 $54.25 $47.26
The depreciable real property component of the hotel has a currently
estimated Federal tax basis of $7,312,316 and will be depreciated over a life of
39 years (or less, as permitted by the Internal Revenue Code) using the
straight-line method. The basis of the personal property component of the hotel
will be depreciated in accordance with the modified accelerated cost recovery
system of the Internal Revenue Code.
The following table summarizes the hotel's real estate tax information for
1999:
Tax Assessed Tax Rate Amount
Jurisdiction Value (per $100) of Tax
- ------------ ----- ---------- ------
County of Dallas $8,100,000 0.447699 $ 36,263.62
City of Dallas $8,100,000 1.460530 $118,302.93
Town of Addison $8,100,000 0.384600 $ 31,152.60
---------
TOTAL $185,719.15
==========
We estimate that the annual property tax on the expected improvements will
be approximately $4,500 or less.
At least five competing hotels are located within two miles of the hotel.
(The names of the competing franchises, as listed below, may be registered as
service marks or trade names.) Three of the competing hotels are newer than the
hotel. The newer competing hotels have franchises with Country Inn Suites,
Hilton Inn and Quality Inns. The other competing hotels have franchises with
Courtyard by Marriott and Residence Inn. We believe that the rates charged by
the hotel are generally competitive with the rates charged by these other
hotels. We are aware of ongoing or proposed construction for three extended-stay
hotels within approximately three miles of the hotel. We expect these new hotels
to be franchised with Marriott (in two instances) and Budget Suites.
DALLAS - IRVING/LAS COLINAS
The Homewood Suites(R) Dallas - Irving/Las Colinas is located on a 3.4 acre
site at 4300 Wingren Drive, Irving, Texas 75039. The hotel is approximately 11

spaces. The hotel provides complimentary shuttle service within a 3 mile radius.
We believe that the hotel has been generally well maintained and is
generally in very good condition. Over the next 12 months, we plan to spend
approximately $450,000 on renovations or improvements. We expect that the
principal renovations and improvements will include upgrading bathrooms,
repairing the parking lot and improving the meeting room. We expect to pay for
the costs of these renovations and improvements with proceeds from our ongoing
offering of common shares.

generally competitive with the rates charged by these other hotels. We are aware
of ongoing
S-25
or proposed construction for three extended-stay hotels within approximately
five miles of the hotel. Although we do not have complete franchising

principal renovations and improvements will include installing new telephone
system and purchasing new furniture. We expect to pay for the costs of these
renovations and improvements with proceeds from our ongoing offering of common
shares.
During 1999, the average stay at the hotel was approximately 3.1 nights,
and approximately 52.1% of the guests have stayed for five nights or more. In

During 1999, the average daily rate per suite was $82.95, and the average
daily revenue per available suite was $62.41. As explained above, revenue from
the hotel's operations will be used to pay interest due under the promissory
note we executed in connection with our purchase of the hotel. There can be no
assurance, however, the proceeds of the offering will be sufficient to permit
such payments of principal. Assuming that no principal payments are made until
the maturity of the promissory note, and that the hotel continues to have the
level of revenue specified above, approximately 21.4% of the hotel's revenue
would be needed to cover its portion of the interest payments.
The hotel's current rate structure is based on length of stay and type of

The hotel offers a weekend discount, which varies by type of suite and may
equal up to 33% off the basic rate. The discount is not available to guests who
stay for five nights or more. The hotel also offers discounts to guests who stay
under certain corporate accounts. These discounts are often negotiated with the
corporate customer and vary from account to account. During 1999, we estimate
that approximately 79% of the hotel's guests received a corporate discount.
The chief corporate accounts (as designated in the hotel's records) include
Target, Capital One, Circuit City, First Union National Bank, Virginia Power,
Owens Minor, Saxon Mortgage Corp., Promus Hotels, Inc., Deloitte & Touche and
Old Dominion Electric Cooperative. During 1999, the 10 largest corporate
accounts were responsible for approximately 55% of the hotel's occupancy. There
can be no assurance, however, that the hotel will continue to receive
significant occupancy, or any occupancy, from the corporate accounts identified
above.

At least seven competing hotels are located within three miles of the
hotel. (The names of the competing franchises, as listed below, may be
registered as service marks or trade names.) Three of the competing hotels are
newer than the hotel. The newer competing hotels have franchises with Candlewood
Suites, Fairfield Inn and Town Place Suites. The other competing hotels have
franchises with Courtyard by Marriott, Holiday Inn Select, La Quinta Inns and
Residence Inn. We believe that the rates charged by the hotel are generally
competitive with the rates charged by these other hotels. We are aware of
ongoing or proposed construction for four extended-stay hotels within
approximately three miles of the hotel. We expect these new hotels to be
franchised with Hawthorn Suites, Radisson Suites, Spring Hill Suites and
Woodbridge Suites.
DETROIT - WARREN
The Homewood Suites(R) Detroit - Warren is located on a 2.84 acre site
at 30180 N. Civic Center Drive, Warren, Michigan 48093. The hotel is
approximately 17 miles from downtown Detroit and 31 miles from the Detroit
Metropolitan Wayne County Airport.
The hotel opened in March 1990. It has wood frame construction, with a
plaster and wood trim exterior. The hotel consists of three buildings, each with
one, two or three stories. The hotel contains 76 suites, which have a combined
rentable area of 31,520 square feet. The following types of suites are
available:
Type of Suite Number Available Square Feet Per Suite
-------------- ---------------- ---------------------
Master Suite 8 540
Homewood Suite 60 360
Two-Bedroom Suite 8 700
The hotel offers a 40-seat breakfast/lounge area, a meeting room that
accommodates 25 to 30 people, and a business center that offers guests the use
of a personal computer, a photocopier and an electric typewriter. Recreational
facilities include an outdoor pool, a whirlpool and an exercise room. The hotel
also contains a guest convenience store and laundry. The hotel has its own
parking lot with 77 spaces. The hotel provides complimentary shuttle service
within a five mile radius.
We believe that the hotel has been generally well maintained and is
generally in very good condition. Over the next 12 months, we plan to spend
approximately $330,000
S-38
on renovations or improvements. We expect that the principal renovations and
improvements will include carpet repairs, sidewalk and parking area repairs,
common area upgrades and exercise equipment upgrades. We expect to pay for the
costs of these renovations and improvements with proceeds obtained from our
ongoing offering of common shares.
During 1999, the average stay at the hotel was approximately 6.2 nights,
and approximately 55.9% of the guests have stayed for five nights or more. In
general, occupancy at the hotel is not seasonal. The following table shows
average daily occupancy rates, expressed as a percentage, for the last five
years:

During 1999, the average daily rate per suite was $88.11, and the average
daily revenue per available suite was $65.46. As explained above, revenue from
the hotel's operations will be used to pay interest due under the promissory
note we executed in connection with our purchase of the hotel. There can be no
assurance, however, the proceeds of the offering will be sufficient to permit
such payments of principal. Assuming that no principal payments are made until
the maturity of the promissory note, and that the hotel continues to have the
level of revenue specified above, approximately 15.2% of the hotel's revenue
would be needed to cover its portion of the interest payments.
The hotel's current rate structure is based on length of stay and type of
suite, as summarized below:

The hotel offers a weekend discount, which varies by type of suite and may
equal up to 33% off the basic rate. The discount is not available to guests who
stay for five nights or more. The hotel also offers discounts to guests who stay
under certain corporate accounts. These discounts are often negotiated with the
corporate customer and vary from account to account. During 1999, we estimate
that approximately 59% of the hotel's guests received a corporate discount.
The chief corporate accounts (as designated in the hotel's records) include
General Motors, Raytheon, Chrysler, Ernst &Young, Optima Package, Electronic
Systems, Boeing,
S-39
Chrysler First, IBM, PBS and J. Liebherr Machine Tool. During 1999, the 10
largest corporate accounts were responsible for approximately 19.6% of the
hotel's occupancy. There can be no assurance, however, that the hotel will
continue to receive significant occupancy, or any occupancy, from the corporate
accounts identified above.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
GENERAL
Apple Suites, Inc. (the "company") owns extended-stay hotels. During 1999,
the company acquired 11 hotels with 1,218 suites from Promus Hotels, Inc. or an
affiliate. Promus Hotels, Inc. was subsequently acquired by Hilton Hotels
Corporation ("Hilton") and is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hilton. The
hotels were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $91,426,000. Since
current federal income tax laws prohibit a real estate investment trust from
actively operating hotels, all of the company's hotels are leased to Apple
Suites Management, Inc. or its subsidiary (the "lessee") pursuant to master
hotel lease agreements ("Percentage Leases"). Each Percentage Lease obligates
the lessee to pay rent equal to the sum of a base rent and a percentage rent
based on suite revenues and sundry other revenues of each hotel. The lessee's
ability to make payments to the company pursuant to the Percentage Leases is
dependent primarily upon the operations of the hotels. See Note 9 to the
consolidated financial statements for further lease information.
The lessee holds the franchise and market reservation agreement for each of
the hotels, which are operated as Homewood Suites(R) by Hilton. The lessee
engages a third-party manager, Promus Hotels, Inc. ("Promus"), to operate the
hotels. The company is externally advised and has contracted with Apple Suites
Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") to manage its day-to-day operations and make
investment decisions. The company has contracted with Apple Suites Realty Group,
Inc. ("ASRG") to provide brokerage and acquisition services in connection with
its hotel acquisitions. The lessee, the Advisor and ASRG are all owned by Mr.
Glade Knight, the company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. See Note 6 to
the consolidated financial statements for further information on related party
transactions.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Apple Suites, Inc. (The Company)
REVENUES: As operations of the company commenced effective September 1,
1999 with the purchase of four hotels, a comparison to 1998 is not possible.
During the period ended December 31, 1999, the company had revenues of
$2,518,031. All of the company's lease revenue is derived from the Percentage
Leases covering the hotels in operations with the lessee.
The company's other income consists of $158,171 of interest income earned
from the investments of its cash and cash reserves and $10,915 of interest
earned from the promissory notes with the lessee for franchise and hotel
supplies.
EXPENSES: The expenses of the company consist of property taxes, insurance,
general and administrative expenses, interest on notes payable, and depreciation
on the hotels. Total expenses, exclusive of interest and depreciation, for the
period ended December 31, 1999 were $580,399 or 22% of total revenue.
Interest expense was $1,245,044 for the period ended December 31, 1999 and
represented interest on short-term notes payable to Hilton at an interest rate
of 8.5%.
S-46
Depreciation expense was $496,209 for the period ended December 31, 1999.
Taxes, insurance, and other was $426,592 for the period ended December 31,
1999 or 16% of total revenue.
General and administrative expense totaled 6% of total revenues. These
expenses represent the administrative expenses of the company. This percentage
is expected to decrease as the company's asset base grows.
Apple Suites Management, Inc. (The Lessee)
The lessee incurred an operating loss for the period ending December 31,
1999 of $141,104 primarily due to the timing of the hotel acquisitions and the
seasonality of the hotel industry. Historically, the hotel industry has seasonal
variations in occupancy that can be expected to cause quarterly fluctuations in
the company's lease revenues, particularly in the fourth quarter.
REVENUES: As operations commenced effective September 1, 1999, a comparison
to 1998 is not possible. Total revenues were $5,671,075 consisting primarily of
suite revenue, which was $5,335,925 for the period ended December 31, 1999.
For the period ended December 31, 1999 the average occupancy rate was 71%,
average daily rate ("ADR") was $83, and revenue per available room ("REVPAR")
was $59.
EXPENSES: Total expenses for the period ended December 31, 1999 were
$5,812,179. Rent expense represents $2,518,031 or 44% of total revenue. The
lessee contracts with Promus to manage the day-to-day operations of the hotels.
The lessee pays Promus fees of 4% of suite revenue for these functions. The
lessee also pays Promus a fee of 4% of suite revenue for franchise licenses to
operate as a Homewood Suites (R) by Hilton and to participate in its reservation
system. Total expense for these services was $653,010 during the period.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
EQUITY: The company commenced operations effective September 1, 1999 with
the acquisition of four hotels using a combination of proceeds from the
company's ongoing "best efforts" offering and notes. During 1999, the company
sold 3,429,414 shares (1,666,667 shares at $9 per share and 1,762,747 shares at
$10 per share) of its common stock to its investors. Included in the 1,762,747
shares sold is 9,294 common shares sold through the company's additional share
option. The total gross proceeds from the shares sold were $32,627,476, which
netted $28,591,260 to the company after the payment of selling commissions and
other offering costs.
During 1999, the company acquired 11 hotels with a total purchase price of
$91,426,000. In conjunction with these acquisitions, the company executed notes
in the aggregate of $68,569,500.
S-47
The lessee's obligations under the Percentage Leases are unsecured. The
lessee has limited capital resources, and, accordingly its ability to make lease
payments under the Percentage Leases is substantially dependent on the ability
of the lessee to generate sufficient cash flow from operations of the hotels.
The company has certain abilities to cancel the lease with the lessee if the
lessee does not perform under the terms of the lease.
To support the lessee's obligations, the lessee has two funding commitments
of $1 million each from Mr. Knight and ASRG, respectively (together "Payor").
The funding commitments are contractual obligations of the Payor to pay funds to
the lessee. Funds paid to the lessee under the commitments are to be used to
satisfy any capitalization or net worth requirements applicable to the lessee or
the lessee's payment obligations under the lease agreements, do not represent
indebtedness, and are not subject to interest. The funding commitments terminate
upon the expiration of the Master Hotel Lease agreements, written agreement
between the Payor and the lessee, or payment of all commitment amounts by the
Payor to the lessee. As of December 31, 1999, no contributions have been made by
the Payor to the lessee under the funding commitments.
NOTES PAYABLE: On April 20, 1999, the company obtained a line of credit in
a principal amount of $1 million with a commercial bank guaranteed by Mr.
Knight. The line required interest at LIBOR plus 1.50%. Interest was payable
monthly and the principal balance and all accrued interest were paid in full by
September 30, 1999.
In conjunction with purchase of the 11 hotels, notes were executed by the
company made payable to the order of Hilton in the amount of $68,569,500. The
notes bear an effective interest rate of 8.5% per annum. Interest payments are
due monthly. Principal payments are to be made from net proceeds from the
offering of common shares. Hilton, which controls Promus, agreed to defer
principal payments until the earlier of April 29, 1999 or such time as two
additional hotels have been purchased by the company. At December 31, 1999, the
company's borrowings were $68,569,500.
The company has $68.6 million in notes payable with Hilton have principal
payments of $34 million due on October 1, 2000, $30.2 million due on November 1,
2000 and $4.4 million due on January 1, 2001. The company plans to pay these
notes with the proceeds from its continuous "best efforts" offering of common
shares. However, based on the current rate at which equity is being raised by
the offering, the company may have to seek other measures to repay these loans.
The company is currently holding discussions with several lenders to obtain
financing for its hotels and is exploring both unsecured and secured financing
arrangements. Although no firm financing commitments have been received, the
company believes that based on discussions with lenders and other market
indicators it can obtain sufficient financing prior to maturity of the notes.
Obtaining refinancing is dependent upon a number of factors, including: (1)
continued operation of the hotels at or near current occupancy and room rate
levels as the company's leases are based on a percentage of hotel suite income,
(2) general level of interest rates including credit spreads for real estate
based lending, and (3) general economic conditions. For each of the notes
payable, all of the Company's 11 hotels serve as collateral.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash and cash equivalents totaled $581,344 at
December
S-48
31, 1999.
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS: The company has an ongoing capital commitment to fund
its capital improvements. The company is required under the Percentage Leases to
make available to the lessee for the repair, replacement, or refurbishing of
furniture, fixtures, and equipment an amount equal to 5% of suite revenue
monthly on a cumulative basis, provided that such amount may be used for capital
expenditures made by the company with respect to the hotels. The company expects
that this amount will be adequate to fund the required repair, replacement, and
refurbishments and to maintain its hotels in a competitive condition. The
company capitalized improvements of $290,741 in 1999. At December 31, 1999,
$753,926 was held by Hilton, restricted for funding of these improvements.
The company expects to acquire additional hotels during 2000. The company
plans to have monthly equity closings in 2000, until the offering is fully
funded, or until such time as the company may opt to discontinue the offering.
During January and February 2000, the company closed the sale to investors of
335,487 shares at $10 per share representing net proceeds to the company of
$3,019,377. It is anticipated that the equity funds will be invested in
additional hotels and principal payments on the notes incurred in conjunction
with the existing acquisitions.
Capital resources are expected to grow with the future sale of its shares.
Approximately 10% of the 1999 common stock dividend distribution, or $83,646,
was reinvested in additional common shares. In general, the company's liquidity
and capital resources are believed to be more than adequate to meet its cash
requirements during 2000, given current and anticipated financing arrangements.
The company is operated as, and will annually elect to be taxed as, a real
estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, the
company has no provision for taxes, and thus there is no effect on the company's
liquidity from taxes.
INFLATION: All of the company's Percentage Leases provide, on an annual
basis, for adjustments in the rent payable thereunder, and thus may enable the
company to obtain increased base rents, which generally serves to minimize the
risk to the company of adverse effects 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 operator's ability
to raise room rates.
SEASONALITY: The hotel industry historically has been seasonal in nature,
reflecting higher occupancy rates primarily during the first three quarters of
the year. Seasonal variations in occupancy at the company's hotels may cause
quarterly fluctuations in the company's lease revenues, particularly during the
fourth quarter, to the extent that it receives percentage rent. To the extent
the cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to
temporary or seasonal fluctuations in lease revenue, the company expects to
utilize cash on hand or funds from equity raised through its "best efforts"
offering to make distributions.
IMPACT OF YEAR 2000: The company and lessee completed the year 2000 project
as planned. The company and lessee have not experienced any year 2000 problems
company-wide
S-49
or from external sources and do not anticipate any. The company's total costs
incurred to meet year 2000 compliance were not significant.
MARKET RISK DISCLOSURES: In connection with the acquisition of the 11
hotels, the company incurred $68,569,500 of short-term borrowings at a fixed
interest rate of 8.5%. The company has repricing risk associated with any
refinancing of these debt obligations which have various maturity dates through
January 2001.
REIT MODERNIZATION ACT: In December 1999, the REIT Modernization Act
("RMA") was signed into law legislation. The most important feature of this
legislation to the company is the ability under certain conditions to operate
our hotels through a taxable REIT subsidiary without using a third party lessee.
This provision of the RMA is not effective until after December 31, 2000. Our
current lease agreements provide for termination of the lease agreements for
changes in tax law such as the RMA. Currently, we are evaluating the impact of
the RMA on our operating structure.

Funds from Operations (a) $ 883,676
============
(a) "Funds from operations" is defined as income before gains (losses) on
investments and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles) plus real estate depreciation and after
adjustment for significant nonrecurring items, if any. This definition conforms
to the recommendations set forth in a White Paper adopted by the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). The company considers
funds from operations in evaluating property acquisitions and its operating
performance, and believes that funds from operations should be considered along
with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash flows as a measure of
the company's operating performance and liquidity. Funds from operations, which
may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other REITs, does
not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily indicative of
cash available to fund cash needs.
(b) The company was initially capitalized on March 26, 1999; however, operations
did not commence until September 1, 1999.

UPDATE CONCERNING PRIOR PROGRAMS
The prospectus contains information on prior programs sponsored by Glade M.
Knight to invest in real estate. The information in the prospectus on the prior
programs is generally current as of June 15, 1999 except where a different date
is specified. The following information describes recent developments affecting
these prior programs and is generally current through December 31, 1999 except
where a different date is specified.
As indicated in the prospectus, the information on prior programs should
not be considered to be indicative of our operations, and purchasers of our
common shares will not have any interest in these other programs or in any of
the properties owned by them.
On July 23, 1999, Apple Residential Income Trust, Inc. was merged into a
subsidiary of Cornerstone Realty Income Trust, Inc. Thus, as a result of that
merger, Apple Residential Income Trust, Inc. ceased to exist and its properties
became properties of Cornerstone Realty Income Trust, Inc.
As of February 29, 2000, Cornerstone had approximately 18,000 holders of
its common shares and approximately 10,000 holders of its preferred shares. Its
common shares are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol "TCR," but its preferred shares are not listed. At December 31, 1999,
Cornerstone owned a total of 87 apartment communities in Georgia, North
Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. On March 10, 2000, Cornerstone sold 16
apartment communities and now owns 71 apartment communities as of the date of
this supplement.
As indicated in the prospectus, on June 15, 1999, Mr. Knight had ceased to
hold an interest in all but one of the 40 privately-offered partnerships
sponsored by him. Mr. Knight disposed of his interest in that one remaining
partnership during 1999.
For more information, prospective investors should refer to the updated
tabular information on prior programs sponsored by Mr. Knight that appears
immediately after this paragraph. In addition, Part II of our Registration
Statement (which is not included in the prospectus or this supplement) contains
a more detailed summary of the property acquisitions by Cornerstone Realty
Income Trust, Inc. and Apple Residential Income Trust, Inc. that occurred on or
before December 31, 1999. Also included is information on the acquisition by
Cornerstone Realty Income Trust, Inc. of the properties owned by Apple
Residential Income Trust, Inc. as a result of the merger described above. We
will provide a copy of the summary of property acquisitions without charge upon
request of any investor or prospective investor.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Apple Suites, Inc.
Richmond, Virginia
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Homewood
Suites Acquisition Hotels (described in Note 1) as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, and the related combined statements of income, shareholders' equity and
cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the management of the hotels. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The
accompanying financial statements were prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as
described in Note 1 to the financial statements and are not intended to be a
complete presentation of the Homewood Suites Acquisition Hotels.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Homewood Suites
Acquisition Hotels as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the combined results of
their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

HOMEWOOD SUITES ACQUISITION HOTELS
NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Homewood Suites Acquisition Hotels (the Hotels) consist of the
following:
PROPERTY HOTEL LOCATION DATE OPENED # OF SUITES
- -------------------------------- ---------------------- ------------- ------------
Atlanta - Galleria/ Cumberland Atlanta, Georgia 1990 124
Dallas - Addison Addison, Texas 1990 120
Dallas - Los Colinas Irving, Texas 1990 136
North Dallas - Plano Plano, Texas April, 1997 99
Richmond - West End Glen Allen, Virginia May, 1998 123
The Owner purchased the North Dallas-Plano hotel October 1, 1997. The
financial statements include the results of the operations from this date
forward.
The Hotels specialize in providing extended stay lodging to business or
leisure travelers. While customers may rent rooms for a night, terms of up to a
month or longer are available. Services offered, which are particularly
attractive to the extended stay traveler, include laundry services, 24 hour on
site convenience stores and grocery shopping services.
The Hotels have been owned and managed by various affiliates of Promus
Hotels, Inc. (the Owner) throughout the financial statement periods. The
accompanying combined financial statements of the Hotels have been presented on
a combined basis because the Owner has a contract pending to sell the five
hotels to Apple Suites, Inc., a real estate investment trust established to
acquire equity interests in hotel properties. The statements have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
for inclusion in a filing by Apple Suites, Inc.
The corporate owner pays income taxes on taxable income of the company as a
whole and does not allocate income taxes to individual properties. Accordingly,
the combined financial statements have been presented on a pretax basis.
NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Property -- The Hotel properties are recorded at cost. Depreciation has
been recorded straight-line using the following lives:
LIFE
------------
Land Improvements .......................... 12-15 Years
Buildings and Improvements ................. 30-35 Years
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment .......... 3-10 Years
Major renewals, betterments and improvements are capitalized while ongoing
maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Building costs include
interest capitalized during the construction period. Construction in progress
represents Hotel properties under construction. At the point construction is
completed and the Hotels are ready to be placed in service, the costs are
reclassified to investment in Hotel properties for financial statement
presentation.
Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principals requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses and disclosures related thereto. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Annually, management of the hotels reviews the carrying value and remaining
depreciable lives of the Hotel properties and related assets. Management does
not believe there are any current indications of impairment. However, it is
possible that estimates of the remaining useful lives will change in the near
term.

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1998
AND 1997 - (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONTINUED)
Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts
based on management's historical experience in estimating credit losses. Actual
uncollectible balances written off may be more or less than the allowance
recorded.
Cash -- Cash includes all highly liquid investments with a maturity date of
three months or less when purchased.
Advertising -- Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred.
Pre-Opening Costs -- Pre-opening costs represent operating expenses
incurred prior to initial opening of the hotels. In 1998, pre-opening expenses
of $226,964 for the Richmond-West End hotel were expensed as incurred. In 1997,
pre-opening expenses of $66,045 for the North Dallas - Plano hotel and
pre-opening expenses of $55,608 for the Richmond - West End hotel were expensed
as incurred.
Inventories -- The Hotels maintain supplies of room linens and food and
beverages. However, due to the ongoing routine replacement of these items and
the difficulty in establishing market values, management has chosen to expense
these items at point of purchase.
NOTE 3 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Owner allocates a monthly accounting fee of $1,000 to each hotel. These
fees totaled $56,000 in 1998 and $39,000 in 1997. The Owner also charges each
Hotel a fee for corporate advertising, training and reservations equal to four
percent of net suite revenue. These fees totaled $566,569 in 1998 and $427,337
in 1997. In 1998, the Owner charged a franchise fee of $563,035 to these hotels,
also computed at four percent of suite revenue. No franchise fee was charged in
1997. Effective in 1999, the Owner will be charging a "base management fee" of
three percent of suite revenue to each hotel.
The acquisition costs of the properties and related furnishings and
equipment was financed by the owner. For all properties, excluding North Dallas
- - Plano which was a purchased project, the owner allocated interest to each
property on monies advanced to fund the construction costs. The interest costs
have been capitalized and depreciated in accordance with the Hotels' normal
depreciation policy. During 1998, interest capitalized and included in the cost
basis of the Richmond-West End hotel totaled $445,782.
Each Hotel maintains a depository bank account into which customer revenues
have been deposited. The bulk of each Hotel's operating expenditures are paid
through the Owner's corporate accounts. Funds are transferred from the Hotel's
depository bank accounts to the owner periodically. The transfers to the owner
and expenditures made on behalf of the Hotels by the Owner are accounted for
through various intercompany accounts. No interest has been charged on these
intercompany advances from ongoing operations. There is no intention to repay
any advances to or from the owner. Accordingly, the net amounts have been
included in shareholders' equity with 1998 and 1997 intercompany/intracompany
transfers being reflected as net capital contributions or distributions.
NOTE 4 -- CONCENTRATIONS AND CONTINGENCIES
Approximately sixty percent of the Richmond-West End hotel's revenues are
from Capital One Financial Corporation, a non affiliated entity.
The Hotels' depository bank accounts are maintained with two financial
institutions; Bank of America and First Union. A concentration of credit risk
exists to the extent that cash deposits exceed amounts insured by FDIC; $100,000
per financial institution. At December 31, 1998, cash deposits exceeded FDIC
insurable amounts by $150,132 and $170,079, respectively.

AND 1997 - (CONTINUED)
NOTE 4 -- CONCENTRATIONS AND CONTINGENCIES -- (CONTINUED)
The general contractor who constructed the Richmond-West End hotel has
filed a $3,800,000 lien against the property. Management believes that the
general contractor's case is grossly exaggerated and that the matter will be
satisfactorily resolved in a prompt manner. Management also believes that in the
event they are unable to prevail entirely, any aspect of the claim should not
have a material adverse affect on the Hotels' financial position or results of
operations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Apple Suites, Inc.
Richmond, Virginia
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Homewood
Suites Acquisition Hotels (described in Note 1) as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, and the related combined statements of income, shareholders' equity and
cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the management of the hotels. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The
accompanying financial statements were prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as
described in Note 1 to the financial statements and are not intended to be a
complete presentation of the Homewood Suites Acquisition Hotels.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Homewood Suites
Acquisition Hotels as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the combined results of
their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Homewood Suites Acquisition Hotels (the Hotels) consist of the
following:
PROPERTY HOTEL LOCATION DATE OPENED # OF SUITES
- --------------------------- --------------------- ---------------- ------------
Detroit/Warren Warren, Michigan March, 1990 76
Atlanta/Peachtree Corners Norcross, Georgia February, 1990 92
Clearwater Clearwater, Florida February, 1998 112
Salt Lake Midvale, Utah November, 1996 98
Baltimore/BWI Linthicum, Maryland March, 1998 147
The Owner purchased the Salt Lake Hotel October 1, 1997. The financial
statements include the results of the Salt Lake hotel operations from this date
forward.
Economic conditions in the localities in which the individual Hotels are
located impact revenues and the ability to collect accounts receivable.
The Hotels specialize in providing extended stay lodging to business or
leisure travelers. While customers may rent rooms for a night, terms of up to a
month or longer are available. Services offered, which are particularly
attractive to the extended stay traveler, include laundry services, 24 hour
on-site convenience stores and grocery shopping services.
The Hotels have been owned and managed by various affiliates of Promus
Hotels, Inc. (the Owner) throughout the financial statement periods. The
accompanying combined financial statements of the Hotels have been presented on
a combined basis because the Owner has a contract pending to sell the five
Hotels to an affiliate of Apple Suites, Inc., a real estate investment trust
established to acquire equity interests in hotel properties. The statements
have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for inclusion in a filing by Apple Suites, Inc.
The corporate owner pays income taxes on taxable income of the company as
a whole and does not allocate income taxes to individual properties.
Accordingly, the combined financial statements have been presented on a pretax
basis.
NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Property -- The Hotel properties are recorded at cost. Depreciation has
been recorded straight-line using the following lives:
LIFE
------------
Land Improvements .......................... 10-15 Years
Buildings and Improvements ................. 15-35 Years
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment .......... 3-10 Years
Major renewals, betterments and improvements are capitalized, while
ongoing maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Building costs
include interest capitalized during the construction period. Construction in
progress represents Hotel properties under construction. At the point
construction is completed and the Hotels are ready to be placed in service, the
costs are reclassified to investment in Hotel properties for financial
statement presentation.
Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses and disclosures related thereto. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
F-23
HOMEWOOD SUITES ACQUISITION HOTELS
NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997 - (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONTINUED)
Annually, management of the Hotels reviews the carrying value and
remaining depreciable lives of the Hotel properties and related assets.
Management does not believe there are any current indications of impairment.
However, it is possible that estimates of the remaining useful lives will
change in the near term.
Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts
based on management's historical experience in estimating credit losses. Actual
uncollectible balances written off may be more or less than the allowance
recorded.
Cash -- Cash includes all highly liquid investments with a maturity date
of three months or less when purchased.
Advertising -- Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred.
Pre-opening Expenses -- Pre-opening expenses represent operating expenses
incurred prior to initial opening of the Hotels. In 1998, pre-opening expenses
of $148,131 and $201,830 were expensed as incurred for the Clearwater and
Baltimore/BWI Hotels, respectively. In 1997, pre-opening expenses of $64,588,
$111,225 and $37,595 were expensed as incurred for the Clearwater, Salt Lake
and Baltimore/BWI Hotels, respectively.
Inventories -- The Hotels maintain supplies of room linens and food and
beverages. However, due to the ongoing routine replacement of these items and
the difficulty in establishing market values, management has chosen to expense
these items at point of purchase.
NOTE 3 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Owner allocates a monthly accounting fee of $1,000 to each hotel.
These fees totaled $56,000 in 1998 and $27,000 in 1997. The Owner also charges
each Hotel a fee for corporate advertising, training and reservations equal to
four percent of net suite revenue. These fees totaled $432,749 in 1998 and
$186,386 in 1997. In 1998, the Owner charged a franchise fee of $432,494 to
these Hotels, also computed at four percent of suite revenue. No franchise fee
was charged in 1997. Effective in 1999, the Owner will be charging a "base
management fee" of three percent of suite revenue to each Hotel.
The acquisition costs of the properties and related furnishings and
equipment was financed by the Owner. For all properties, excluding Salt Lake,
which was a purchased project, the Owner allocated interest to each property on
monies advanced to fund the construction costs. The interest costs have been
capitalized and depreciated in accordance with the Hotels' normal depreciation
policy. During 1998, interest capitalized and included in the cost basis of the
hotels totaled $484,495.
On most property and equipment purchases, excluding base Hotel
construction contracts, the following fees have been paid to Promus Hotels,
Inc.:
Purchase Fee -- 4% of Asset Cost
Project Management Fee -- 4.5% and 5.5.% of labor portion of capitalized
asset costs in 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Each Hotel maintains a depository bank account into which customer
revenues have been deposited. The bulk of each Hotel's operating expenditures
are paid through the Owner's corporate accounts. Funds are transferred from the
Hotel's depository bank accounts to the Owner periodically. The transfers to
the Owner and expenditures made on behalf of the Hotels by the Owner are
accounted for through various intercompany accounts. No interest has been
charged on these intercompany advances from ongoing operations. There is no
intention to repay any advances to or from the Owner. Accordingly, the net
amounts have been included in shareholders' equity, with 1998 and 1997
intercompany/intracompany transfers being reflected as net capital
contributions or distributions.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing

statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion. The accompanying financial statements were prepared for the
purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission as described in Note 1 to the financial statements and are
not intended to be a complete presentation of the Homewood Suites Hotel -

HOMEWOOD SUITES HOTEL -- JACKSON
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Homewood Suites Hotel - Jackson is a 91 suite hotel, located in
Ridgeland, Mississippi, which opened for business on February 20, 1997. The
Hotel specializes in providing extended stay lodging to business or leisure
travelers. While customers may rent rooms for a night, terms of up to a month
or longer are available. Services offered, which are particularly attractive to
the extended stay traveler, include laundry services, 24 hour on-site
convenience stores and grocery shopping services.
Economic conditions in the area in which the Hotel is located impact
revenues and the ability to collect accounts receivable.
The Hotel has been owned and managed by an affiliate of Promus Hotels,
Inc. (the Owner) throughout the financial statement periods. The Owner has a
contract pending to sell the Hotel to an affiliate of Apple Suites, Inc., a
real estate investment trust established to acquire equity interests in hotel
properties. The statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in a filing
by Apple Suites, Inc.
The corporate owner pays income taxes on taxable income of the company as
a whole and does not allocate income taxes to individual properties.
Accordingly, the financial statements have been presented on a pretax basis.
NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLCIIES
Property -- The hotel property is recorded at cost. Depreciation has been
recorded straight-line using the following lives:
LIFE
------------
Land Improvements .......................... 10-15 Years
Buildings and Improvements ................. 15-35 Years
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment .......... 3-10 Years
Major renewals, betterments and improvements are capitalized, while
ongoing maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Building costs
include interest capitalized during the construction period. Construction in
progress represents Hotel assets under construction. At the point construction
is completed and the Hotel is ready to be placed in service, the costs are
reclassified to investment in Hotel property for financial statement
presentation. Construction in progress totaling $5,186,984 was reclassified to
investment in hotel property during 1997.
Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principals requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses and disclosures related thereto. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Annually, management of the hotel reviews the carrying value and remaining
depreciable lives of the Hotel property and related assets. Management does not
believe there are any current indications of impairment. However, it is
possible that estimates of the remaining useful lives will change in the near
term.
Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts
based on management's historical experience in estimating credit losses. Actual
uncollectible balances written off may be more or less than the allowance
recorded.
Cash -- Cash includes all highly liquid investments with a maturity date
of three months or less when purchased.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997 -- (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLCIIES -- (CONTINUED)
Advertising -- Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred.
Pre-Opening Expenses -- Pre-opening expenses represent operating expenses
incurred prior to initial opening of the Hotel. In 1997, pre-opening expenses
of $211,749, were expensed as incurred.
Inventories -- The Hotel maintains supplies of room linens and food and
beverages. However, due to the ongoing routine replacement of these items and
the difficulty in establishing market values, management has chosen to expense
these items at point of purchase.
NOTE 3 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Owner allocates a monthly accounting fee of $1,000 to the Hotel. These
fees totaled $12,000 in 1998 and $10,338 in 1997. The Owner also charges the
Hotel a fee for corporate advertising, training and reservations equal to four
percent of net suite revenue. These fees totaled $84,634 in 1998 and $53,614 in
1997. In 1998, the Owner charged a franchise fee of $84,634 to the Hotel, also
computed at four percent of suite revenue. No franchise fee was charged in
1997. Effective in 1999, the Owner will be charging a "base management fee" of
three percent of suite revenue to the hotel.
The acquisition cost of the property and related furnishings and equipment
was financed by the Owner. The Owner allocated interest to the property on
monies advanced to fund the construction costs. The interest costs have been
capitalized and depreciated in accordance with the Hotel's normal depreciation
policy. Interest capitalized and included in the cost basis of the Hotel
totaled $235,723 in 1997.
On most property and equipment purchases, excluding base hotel
construction contracts, the following fees paid to Promus Hotels, Inc. have
been capitalized:
Purchase Fee - 4% of Asset Cost
Project Management Fee - 4.5% and 5.5.% of labor portion of capitalized
asset costs in 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The Hotel maintains a depository bank account into which customer revenues
have been deposited. The bulk of the Hotel's operating expenditures are paid
through the Owner's corporate accounts. Funds are transferred from the Hotel's
depository bank accounts to the Owner periodically. The transfers to the Owner
and expenditures made on behalf of the Hotel by the Owner are accounted for
through various intercompany accounts. No interest has been charged on these
intercompany advances from ongoing operations. There is no intention to repay
any advances to or from the Owner. Accordingly, the net amounts have been
included in shareholders' equity with 1998 and 1997 intercompany/intracompany
transfers being reflected as net capital contributions or distributions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1
GENERAL INFORMATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
Apple Suites, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (the "company"), is a
Virginia corporation formed in March of 1999, which commenced operations as a
hotel real estate investment trust on September 1, 1999, the effective date of
its first four hotel acquisitions. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the company along with its subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The company operates in one defined business segment consisting of extended-stay
hotels. The hotels are located throughout the United States and operate as
Homewood Suites(R) by Hilton. The company leased to Apple Suites Management,
Inc. or its subsidiary (the "lessee") all of its hotels acquired during 1999.
The lessee is wholly owned by Glade M. Knight, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of the company.
The lessee hired Promus Hotels, Inc. ("Promus"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Hilton Hotels Corporation ("Hilton") to manage the company's hotels under the
terms of a management agreement between Promus and the lessee.
F-47
RELATIONSHIP WITH LESSEE
The company must rely on the lessee to generate sufficient cash flow from the
operation of the hotels to enable the lessee to meet its rent obligation to the
company under the master hotel lease agreements ("Percentage Leases"). At
December 31, 1999, the lessee's rent payable to the company amounted to
$2,123,136. The original terms under the Percentage Leases allow monthly base
rent to be paid in arrears and quarterly percentage rent to be paid 15 days
following the quarter-end.
REFINANCING
The company has $68.6 million in notes payable with Hilton with principal
payments of $34 million due on October 1, 2000, $30.2 million due on November 1,
2000 and $4.4 million due on January 1, 2001. The company plans to pay these
notes with the proceeds from its continuous "best efforts" offering of common
shares. However, based on the current rate at which equity is being raised by
the offering, the company may have to seek other measures to repay these loans.
The company is currently holding discussions with several lenders to obtain
financing for its hotels and is exploring both unsecured and secured financing
arrangements. Although no firm financing commitments have been received, the
company believes that based on discussions with lenders and other market
indicators it can obtain sufficient financing prior to maturity of the notes.
Obtaining refinancing is dependent upon a number of factors, including: (1)
continued operation of the hotels at or near current occupancy and room rate
levels as the company's leases are based on a percentage of hotel suite income,
(2) general level of interest rates including credit spreads for real estate
based lending, and (3) general economic conditions. For each of the notes
payable, all of the Company's 11 hotels serve as collateral.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
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.
RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash consists of cash restricted for property improvements.
INVESTMENT IN HOTELS
The hotels are stated at cost, net of depreciation, and including real estate
brokerage commissions paid to Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc., a related party
(see Note 6). 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 and major improvements and
5 to 7 years for furniture and equipment.
The carrying values of each hotel are evaluated periodically to determine if
circumstances exist indicating an impairment in the carrying value of the
investment in the hotel. Adjustments are made based on fair value of the
underlying property if impairment is indicated. No impairment losses have been
recorded to date.
F-48
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Lease revenue is reported as income over the lease term as it becomes due from
the lessee according to the provisions of the Percentage Lease agreements. At
December 31, 1999, the lessee is in compliance with its rental obligations under
the Percentage Leases.
STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS
The company elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related Interpretations
in accounting for its employee stock options. As discussed in Note 5, the
alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," (FASB 123) requires use of option
valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock
options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the company's employee
stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of
grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
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. Class B Convertible Shares are not included in
earnings per common share calculations until such time it becomes probable that
such shares can be converted to common shares (see Note 4).
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The company is operated as, and will annually elect to be taxed as, a real
estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). Generally, a real estate investment trust which complies with the
provisions of the Code and distributes at least 95% of its taxable income to its
shareholders does not pay federal income taxes on its distributed income.
Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.
For federal income tax purposes, distributions paid to shareholders consist of
ordinary income and return of capital or a combination thereof. Distributions
declared per share were $.33 for the period ended December 31, 1999. In 1999, of
the total distribution, 68% was taxable as ordinary income, and 32% was a
non-taxable return of capital.
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.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The company does not currently have any items of comprehensive income requiring
separate reporting and disclosure.

NOTES PAYABLE
On April 20, 1999, the company obtained a line of credit in a principal amount
of $1 million with a commercial bank. The line of credit was guaranteed by Mr.
Knight, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The line required interest at
LIBOR plus 1.50%. The principal balance and all accrued interest were paid in
full by September 30, 1999.
In conjunction with the purchase of 11 hotels, notes were executed by the
company made payable to the order of Hilton in the amount of $68,569,500. The
notes bear a fixed interest rate of 8.5% per annum and are cross-collateralized
by the 11 hotels owned by the company. Interest payments are due monthly. Notes
amounting to $64,185,000 mature during the fourth quarter of 2000, and the
remaining $4,384,500 note matures in January 2001. Principal payments are to be
made to the extent of net equity proceeds from the offering of common shares.
Hilton has agreed to defer principal payments until the earlier of April 29,
2000 or such time as two additional hotels have been purchased by the company.
The company paid $550,147 in interest for the period ended December 31, 1999.
The company's borrowings were $68,569,500 at December 31, 1999. The carrying
value of the notes at December 31, 1999 approximates fair value.
NOTE 4
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
The company is raising equity capital through a "best-efforts" offering of
shares by David Lerner Associates, Inc. (the "Managing Dealer"), which will
receive selling commissions of 7.5% and a marketing expense allowance of 2.5%
based on proceeds of the shares sold. The company received gross proceeds of
$32,627,476 from the sale of 1,666,667 shares at $9 per share and 1,762,747
shares at $10 per share during 1999. The net proceeds of the offering, after
deducting selling commissions and other offering costs were $28,591,260.
The company provides a plan which allows shareholders to reinvest distributions
in the purchase of additional shares of the company ("Additional Share Option").
Of the total proceeds raised from common shares during the year ended December
31, 1999, $92,940 (net $83,646) was provided through the reinvestment of
distributions.
The company issued 240,000 Class B Convertible Shares, consisting of 202,500
shares to Mr. Knight, and a combined 37,500 Class B Convertible Shares to two
other individuals. The Class B Convertible Shares were issued by the company
before the initial closing of the minimum offering of $15,000,000, in exchange
for payment of $.10 per Class B Convertible Share, or an aggregate of $24,000.
There will be no dividend payable on the Class B Convertible Shares. On
liquidation of the company, the holders of the Class B Convertible Shares will
be entitled to a liquidation payment of $.10 per share before any distributions
of liquidation proceeds to holders of the common shares. Holders of more than
two-thirds of the Class B Convertible Shares must approve any proposed amendment
to the Articles of Incorporation that would adversely affect the Class B
Convertible Shares or create a new class of stock senior to, or on a parity
with, the Class B Convertible Shares. The Class B Convertible Shares may not be
redeemed by the company.
Each holder of outstanding Class B Convertible 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
F-51
of either of the following conversion events: (1) the sale or transfer of
substantially all of the company's assets, stock or business, whether through
sale, exchange, merger, consolidation, lease, share exchange or otherwise, or
(2) the termination or expiration without renewal of the Advisory Agreement with
Apple Suites Advisors, Inc., and if the company ceases to use Apple Suites
Realty Group, Inc. to provide substantially all of its property acquisition and
disposition services.
Upon the occurrence of either conversion event, each of the Class B Convertible
Shares may be converted into a number of common shares based upon the gross
proceeds raised through the date of conversion in the public offering or
offerings of the company's common shares made by the company's prospectus
according to the following formula:
Number of Common Shares through Conversion of Each
Gross Proceeds Raised from Sales of Common Shares Class B Convertible Share (the initial "Conversion
through Date of Conversion Ratio")
- ------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
$ 50 million 1.0
$100 million 2.0
$150 million 3.5
$200 million 5.3
$250 million 6.7
$300 million 8.0
No additional consideration is due upon the conversion of the Class B
Convertible Shares. Upon the probable occurrence of a conversion event, the
company will record expense for the difference between the market value of the
company's common stock and issue price of the Class B Convertible Shares.
The Company has authorized 15 million shares of preferred stock. There were no
shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 1999.
NOTE 5
STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS
In July 1999, 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 (see Note 6), automatically receive options to
purchase stock for 10 years from the adoption of the plan. Under the Directors
Plan, the number of shares to be issued is equal to 45,000 plus 1.8% of the
number of shares sold in excess of 1,666,667. This plan currently relates to the
initial public offering of 30,166,667 shares; therefore the maximum number of
shares to be issued under the Directors Plan currently is 558,000. The options
expire ten years from the date of grant. As of December 31, 1999, 76,729 had
been reserved for issuance.
In July 1999, 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 number of
shares to be issued is equal to 35,000 plus 4.625% of the number of shares sold
in excess of 1,666,667. This plan also currently relates to the initial public
offering of 30,166,667 shares; therefore, the maximum number of shares that can
be issued under the Incentive Plan currently is 1,353,125. As of December 31,
1999, 116,527 shares had been reserved for issuance.
F-52
Both plans generally provide, among other things, that options be granted at
exercise prices not lower than the market value of the shares on the date of
grant. Under the Incentive Plan, at the earliest, options become exercisable at
the date of grant. The optionee has up to 10 years from the date on which the
options first become exercisable during which to exercise the options. In 1999,
the company granted 22,000 options to purchase shares under the Directors Plan
and no options under the Incentive Plan. Activity in the company's share option
plan during 1999 is summarized in the following table:
1999
--------------------------- -----------------------------------
Options Weighted-Average Exercise Price
- --------------------------------------------- --------------------------- -----------------------------------
Outstanding, beginning of period -- --
Granted 22,000 $9.00
Exercised -- --
Forfeited -- --
- --------------------------------------------- --------------------------- -----------------------------------
Outstanding, end of year 22,000 $9.00
Exercisable at end of year 22,000 $9.00
- --------------------------------------------- --------------------------- -----------------------------------
Weighted-average fair value of options
granted during the year $ .31
- --------------------------------------------- --------------------------- -----------------------------------
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
FASB 123, under the fair value method described in that statement. The fair
value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 1999:
risk-free interest rates of 5.6%; a dividend yield of 10.0%; and volatility
factor of the expected market price of the company's common stock of .208; and a
weighted average expected life of the options of 10 years.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.
For purposes of FASB 123 pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. As the options
are exercisable within six months of the date of grant, the full impact of the
pro forma adjustment to net income is disclosed below.

COMMITMENTS AND RELATED PARTIES
The company receives rental income from the lessee under the Percentage Leases
which expire in 2009 subject to earlier termination by the company with 30 days
notice. The Leases contain two optional five-year extensions. The rent due under
the Percentage Lease is the sum of base rent and percentage rent. Percentage
rent is calculated by multiplying fixed percentages by the total amounts of
suite revenues with reference to specified threshold amounts. Both the base rent
and the revenue thresholds used in computing percentage rents are subject to
annual adjustments based on increases in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). The
company earned rents of $2,518,031 for the period ended December 31, 1999.
Minimum future rental income (i.e. base rents) payable to the company under the
Percentage Leases in effect at December 31, 1999 are as follows:
2000 $ 6,583,400
2001 6,583,400
2002 6,583,400
2003 6,583,400
2004 6,583,400
Thereafter 31,564,507
-----------
$64,481,507

Under the Percentage Leases, the company is obligated to pay the costs of real
estate and personal property taxes, property insurance, maintenance of
underground utilities and structural elements of the hotels. The company is
committed under certain agreements to fund 5% of suite revenues per month for
capital expenditures to include periodic replacement or refurbishment of
furniture, fixtures, and equipment. At December 31, 1999, $753,927 was held by
Promus for capital improvement reserves. In addition in accordance with the
franchise agreements, $1,023,721 was held for the property improvement plan with
a financial institution and treated as restricted cash.
F-54
The company loaned the lessee $567,900 for franchise fees and $121,800 for hotel
supplies for the 11 hotels. The debt agreements are evidenced by promissory
notes bearing interest at a rate of 9% per annum. Principal and interest
payments are due monthly. The promissory notes have various maturity dates
through January 2010.
The company has contracted with Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. ("ASRG") to
acquire and dispose of real estate assets for the company. In accordance with
the contract ASRG is to be paid a fee of 2% of the purchase price of any
acquisitions or sale price of any dispositions of real estate investments,
subject to certain conditions. During 1999, ASRG earned $1,828,520 under the
agreement of which $849,628 was payable at December 31, 1999.
The company has contracted with Apple Suites Advisors, Inc. ("ASA") to advise
and provide day to day management services to the company. In accordance with
the contract, the company will pay ASA a fee equal to .1% to .25% of total
equity contributions received by the company in addition to certain reimbursable
expenses. During 1999, ASA earned $23,574 under this agreement of which $18,513
was payable at December 31, 1999.
The lessee, ASRG and ASA are 100% owned by Mr. Knight. ASRG and ASA may purchase
in the "best efforts" offering up to 2.5% of the total number of shares of the
company sold in the "best efforts" offering.
Mr. Knight also serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Cornerstone Realty Income Trust, Inc., an apartment REIT. During 1999,
Cornerstone Realty Income Trust, Inc. provided the company with services and
rental space and was paid approximately $55,000.
NOTE 7
WARRANTS
The company has agreed to sell to the Managing Dealer for an aggregate of $100,
warrants (the "warrants") to purchase 10% of the shares sold in this offering,
up to 3,000,000 common shares, at an exercise price of $16.50 per common share
(165% of the public offering price per common share). The Warrants may not be
sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated for one year from the date of
issuance, except to the officers and employees of the Managing Dealer and are
exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the
five-year period commencing on the date of the final closing after the
termination of the offering (the "Warrant Exercise Term"). At the company's
expense, the company may be required to register the Warrants under the
Securities Act during the Warrant Exercise Term.

by it and pays the manager a 4% management fee based on a percentage of adjusted
gross revenue. During the first two years of the management agreement, a portion
of the management fee equal to 1% of adjusted gross revenues is subordinated to
the lessee's receipt of a return equal to 11% of the purchase price of each
hotel. The lessee pays the manager a franchise fee and a marketing fee, equal to
4% of gross revenues, respectively.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During January and February of 2000, the company closed the sale to investors of
335,487 shares at $10 per share representing net proceeds to the company of
$3,019,377.
The company has entered into contracts to purchase two additional hotels from
Hilton on or before April 28, 2000 for a total purchase price of $30.4 million.
The purchase is subject to a number of customary closing conditions. In
addition, the ability of the company to purchase the hotels is contingent upon
its obtaining sufficient funds, either through the sale of sufficient common
shares under the company's "best efforts" offering or through alternate
financing sources. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the proposed
purchase will occur as scheduled, or at all. There is a required deposit with
Hilton of $400,000 against the aggregate purchase price. If the company does not
complete the purchase, it could lose the monies deposited.

APPLE SUITES MANAGEMENT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1
GENERAL INFORMATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
Apple Suites Management, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the "Lessee") was
formed on March 11, 1999 and is owned 100% by Glade M. Knight. Mr. Knight also
serves as the Chairman and CEO of Apple Suites, Inc. (the "Company"). The Lessee
commenced operations effective September 1, 1999 with the acquisition of 4
extended-stay hotels by the Company.
The Lessee operates in one business segment. Each hotel is leased by the Company
to the Lessee under a master hotel lease agreement ("Percentage Lease") having
an initial term of ten years, subject to earlier termination at the option of
the Company upon 30 day notice. The lease agreement provides for two optional
five year extensions. The Percentage Leases require base rent payments to be
made to the Company on a monthly basis and additional quarterly payments to be
made based upon percentages of suite and sundry revenue. Promus Hotels, Inc. or
an affiliate ("Promus") manages the hotels under a management agreement with the
Lessee. Promus Hotels, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hilton Hotel
Corporation ("Hilton"). The hotels are located throughout the United States and
are licensed with Homewood Suites(R) by Hilton.
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Lessee and its
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
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.
INVENTORIES
Inventories, consisting primarily of food and beverages and hotel supplies are
stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a method that
approximates the first-in, first-out basis.
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.
OTHER REVENUE
Other revenue consists of revenues derived from hotel services such as
telephone, TV, valet and vending machines. These sundry revenues are recognized
in the period the related services are provided.
ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION COSTS
Advertising and promotion costs are expensed when incurred. Advertising and
promotion costs represent the expense for franchise advertising and reservation
systems under the terms of the hotel franchise agreements and general and
administrative expenses that are directly attributable to advertising and
promotion.
F-64
DEFERRED FRANCHISE FEES
Deferred franchise fees represent the costs incurred in connection with entering
into hotel license agreements, which have a term of 20 years. Deferred franchise
fees are being amortized over the term of the hotel license agreements.
RENT EXPENSE
Rent expense is recognized as incurred by the Company under the Percentage
Leases commencing on the date the lease is executed. Percentage rent is accrued
prior to the Lessee achieving the baseline revenue that triggers the percentage
rental expense when achievement of the baseline revenue is considered probable.
Baseline revenue amounts are determined on a quarterly basis for each hotel.
INCOME TAXES
The Lessee provides for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes".
SFAS No. 109 requires an asset and liability based approach in accounting for
income taxes.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Company does not currently have any items of comprehensive income requiring
separate reporting and disclosure.
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.
SEASONALITY
The hotel industry is seasonal in nature. Seasonal variations in revenues at the
hotels under lease may cause quarterly fluctuations in the Company's revenues.
Revenues for 1999 primarily consist of fourth quarter revenues which may not be
indicative of a full year.
NOTE 2
PERCENTAGE LEASES
The Percentage Leases expire in 2009, subject to earlier termination by the
Company upon 30 day notice. The Percentage Leases provide for two optional
five-year extensions. The rent due for each hotel is the sum of a base rent and
a percentage rent. Percentage rent is calculated on a quarterly basis by
multiplying fixed percentages by the total amounts of year-to-date suite
revenues with reference to specified threshold amounts, known as breakpoints.
Both the base rent and the breakpoints used in computing percentage rents are
subject to annual adjustments based on increases in the Consumer Price Index
("CPI").
The Lessee's future commitments to the Company for base rent in effect at
December 31, 1999 are as follows:
F-65
Year Amount
---- ------
2000 $ 6,583,400
2001 6,583,400
2002 6,583,400
2003 6,583 400
2004 6,583,400
Thereafter 31,564,507
----------
$64,481,507
===========
Base rent is payable to the Company in arrears and percentage rent is payable 15
days following a quarter-end. The Lessee incurred rent expense of $2,518,031 for
the year ended December 31, 1999 and had rent payable of $2,123,136 at December
31, 1999.
NOTE 3
COMMITMENTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On September 17, 1999, the Lessee entered into various debt agreements with the
Company. The Lessee borrowed from the Company $567,900 for franchise fees and
$121,800 for hotel supplies. The promissory notes relating to these debt
agreements bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum. Principal and interest
payments are due monthly. The Lessee incurred interest expense of $10,915
related to the promissory notes and $7,557 was payable at December 31, 1999.
The aggregate maturities of principal for promissory notes subsequent to
December 31, 1999 are as follows:
Year Amount
---- ------
2000 $ 56,939
2001 62,612
2002 68,485
2003 74,909
2004 79,687
Thereafter 345,321
-------
$687,953
========
The Lessee has entered into license agreements with Promus to operate the hotels
as Homewood Suites(R) by Hilton properties. These agreements have terms of 20
years and expire in 2019. These agreements require the Lessee to, among other
things, pay monthly franchise fees equal to 4% of suite revenue. License and
franchise agreements contain specific standards for, and restrictions and
limitations on, the operation and maintenance of the hotels which are
established by Promus to maintain uniformity in the system for Homewood
Suites(R) by Hilton. Such standards generally regulate the appearance of the
hotel, quality and type of goods and services offered, signage, and protection
of marks. Compliance with such standards may from time to time require
significant expenditures for capital improvements which will be borne by the
Company. In addition, the agreements provide that Promus will manage the daily
operations of the hotels and provide advertising and promotion to include access
to the reservation system for Homewood Suites(R) by Hilton. The Lessee pays
Promus 4% of monthly suite revenue for each
F-66
of these functions, respectively. Total expenses incurred by the Lessee for
franchise fees, advertising and promotion fees, and management fees totaled
$653,010.
NOTE 4
SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY
The Lessee requires or may require funds to capitalize its business to satisfy
its obligations under Percentage Leases with the Company, dated September 17,
1999. To meet these objectives, the Lessee has two funding commitment agreements
(together "Payor") of $1 million each from Mr. Knight and Apple Suites Realty
Group, Inc., ("ASRG"), respectively. ASRG is owned by Mr. Knight. The funding
commitments are contractual obligations of the Payor to provide funds to the
Lessee. Funds paid to the Lessee under the commitments are to be used to satisfy
any capitalization or net worth requirements applicable to the Lessee or the
Lessee's payment obligations under the lease agreements and does not represent
any indebtedness. The funding commitments terminate upon the expiration of the
Percentage Leases, written agreement between the Payor and the Lessee, or
repayment of all amounts to the Payor. As of December 31, 1999, no contributions
have been made by the Payor to the Lessee.
NOTE 5
INCOME TAXES
The Lessee is subject to federal and state income taxes. The Lessee incurred a
loss during the period and as such has no income tax liability at December 31,
1999. No deferred income tax asset has been recorded in the consolidated balance
sheet since realization is uncertain. At December 31, 1999, the Lessee has
$110,000 of net operating loss carryforwards which expire in 2020.
NOTE 6
CREDIT RISK
The Lessee maintains cash on deposit with Promus in a pooled investment account
that potentially subjects the Lessee to a concentration of credit risk. At
December 31, 1999 the Lessee has $1,107,399 on deposit with Promus.

APPLE SUITES, INC.
PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 (UNAUDITED)
The following unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Operations of Apple Suites, Inc. (the "Company") are presented as if the
acquisition and leasing of the eleven extended-stay hotels by the Company had
occurred at the beginning of the period presented. The seller was Promus Hotels,
Inc., or an affiliate. Promus Hotels, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Hilton Hotel Corporation ("Hilton"). The hotels have been leased to Apple Suites
Management, Inc. or its subsidiary (the "Lessee") pursuant to master hotel lease
agreements. Such pro forma information is based in part upon the Consolidated
Statement of Operations of the Company, the Pro Forma Statement of Operations of
the Lessee and the historical Statements of Operations of the acquired hotels.
In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of
these transactions have been made.
The following unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Operations for the period presented are not necessarily indicative of what
actual results of operations of the Company would have been assuming such
transactions had been completed as of the beginning of the period presented, nor
does it purport to represent the results of operations for future periods. The
master hotel lease agreements between the Company and the Lessee were based on
economic conditions existing at the time of acquisition. Application of these
agreements to periods prior to the acquisition may not be meaningful. The most
significant assumption which may not be indicative of future operations is the
amount of financial leverage employed. This Pro Forma Statement assume 75% of
the purchase price was funded with debt for the entire period presented. The
Company intends to repay this debt with the proceeds from its "best efforts"
offering. This repayment of debt would result in lower interest expense, higher
net income, but lower earnings per share.
