Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1
General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited financials should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements.
Organization
Apple Hospitality Five, Inc. (the Company), a Virginia corporation was formed on September 20, 2002, and its first investor closing was on January 3, 2003. The Company completed its best-efforts offering on March 18, 2004. 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 intends to elect to be treated as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes. The REIT Modernization Act, effective January 1, 2001, permits REITs to establish taxable businesses to conduct certain previously disallowed business activities. The Company has formed wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries, and has and will continue to lease all of its hotels to those subsidiaries (collectively, the Lessee). No federal income tax expense has been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as the Lessees had operating losses. No tax benefit has been recorded as realization of these benefits is uncertain.
Offering Costs
As of June 30, 2004, the Company had incurred approximately $51.5 million in costs related to its best-efforts offering of Units. Each Unit is equal to one common share, no par value and one Series A preferred share of the Company. As of the closing of the offering on March 18, 2004, the Company had closed on a total of 45,671,019 Units, with net proceeds totaling approximately $449 million.
Comprehensive Income
The Company recorded no comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 or 2003.
Stock Incentive Plans
As the exercise price of the Companys stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock, the Company has not recognized any stock compensation expenses associated with its stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.
6
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. There was no dilutive impact to common shares for purposes of computing earnings per common share for the periods presented. The Series B convertible preferred 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.
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.
Summary of Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46) and subsequently revised FIN 46 in December 2003. Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 46. The Company did not identify any variable interest entities (VIEs) of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, thus, the Company was not required to consolidate any VIEs.
Note 2
Summary of Acquisitions
Effective March 8, 2004, the Company closed on the purchase of a Courtyard by Marriott in Fort Worth, Texas for a gross purchase price of $10.5 million. The hotel contains 92 rooms and offers amenities generally offered by upscale extended-stay hotels.
The purchase price for the hotel was funded by the Companys best efforts offering of Units. The Company leased the hotel to a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary under a master hotel lease agreement. The Company also used the proceeds of its ongoing offering to pay approximately 2% of the gross purchase price, or approximately $210,000, for these hotels, as a commission to Apple Suites Realty Group (ASRG), an entity wholly owned by the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Glade M. Knight..
No goodwill or intangible assets were recorded in connection with the acquisition.
Note 3
Shareholders Equity
The Company completed its best-efforts offering of Units on March 18, 2004. The Company registered its Units (each Unit consists of one common share and one Series A preferred share) on Registration Statement Form S-11 (File No. 333-100044) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 3, 2002. The Company began its best-efforts offering of its Units, no par value, the same day the Registration Statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The managing dealer was David Lerner Associates, Inc.

The Series A preferred shares have no voting rights and no conversion rights. In addition, the Series A preferred shares are not separately tradable from the common shares to which they relate. The Series A preferred shares have no distribution rights except a priority distribution upon the sale of the Companys assets. The priority distribution will be equal to $11.00 per Series A preferred share, and no more, before any distribution will be made to the holders of any other shares. Upon that distribution, the Series A preferred shares will have no other distribution rights.
The Company currently has 240,000 Series B convertible preferred shares issued and outstanding. There are no dividends payable on the Series B convertible preferred shares. Holders of more than two-thirds of the Series B convertible preferred shares must approve any proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation that would adversely affect the Series B convertible preferred shares. Upon liquidation of the Company, the holder of the Series B convertible preferred shares is entitled to a priority liquidation payment. However, the priority liquidation payment of the holder of the Series B convertible preferred shares is junior to the holders of the Series A preferred shares distribution rights. The holder of a Series B convertible preferred share is entitled to a liquidation payment of $11 per number of common shares into which each Series B convertible preferred share would convert. In the event that the liquidation of the Companys assets results in proceeds that exceed the distribution rights of the Series A preferred shares and the Series B convertible preferred shares, the remaining proceeds will be distributed between the common shares and the Series B convertible preferred shares, on an as converted basis. The Series B convertible preferred shares are convertible into Units upon and for 180 days following the occurrence of either of the following events: (1) substantially all of the Companys assets, stock or business is transferred as a going concern, whether through exchange, merger, consolidation, lease, share exchange or otherwise, other than a sale of assets in liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Companys business; or (2) the Companys common shares are listed on any securities exchange or quotation system or in any established market.
Upon the occurrence of either triggering event and for purposes of determining the liquidation payment due to each holder of a Series B convertible preferred share, each Series B convertible preferred share is convertible into 12.11423 Units.
No additional consideration is due upon the conversion of the Series B convertible preferred shares.
Compensation expense related to issuance of 240,000 Series B convertible preferred shares to Mr. Glade M. Knight, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors and the sole shareholder of the Series B Convertible Preferred Shares, will be recognized at such time when the number of common shares to be issued for conversion of the Series B shares can be reasonably estimated and the event triggering the conversion of the Series B shares to common shares is probable. The expense will be measured as the difference between the fair value of the common stock for which the Series B shares can be converted and the amounts paid for the Series B shares. A conversion event is not considered probable at June 30, 2004. The beneficial conversion feature at June 30, 2004, assuming a conversion event is probable, would be approximately 2.9 million common shares, which based upon the sales price of the Companys shares at $11 per share would result in approximately $32.0 million of compensation expense.
During 2004, the Company instituted a Unit Redemption Program to provide limited interim liquidity to its shareholders. Redemption of Units, when requested, is made quarterly on a first-come, first-served basis. Shareholders may request redemption of Units for a purchase price equal to the lesser of: (1) the purchase price per unit that the shareholder actually paid for the unit; or (2) $11.00 per unit. The Company reserves the right to change the purchase price of redemptions, reject any request for redemption, or otherwise amend the terms of, suspend, or terminate the Unit Redemption Program. During the six months ended 2004, the Company redeemed 183,918 Units in the amount of $1,982,284.
8
During 2004, the Company instituted a dividend reinvestment plan to its shareholders. The plan provides a convenient and cost effective way to increase shareholder investment in the Company by reinvesting dividends to purchase additional Units of the Company. The uses of the proceeds from this plan may include purchasing Units under the Companys Unit Redemption Program, enhancing properties, satisfying financing obligations and other expenses, increasing working capital, funding various corporate operations, and acquiring extended-stay hotels. The Company has registered 7 million shares for potential issuance under the Program. As of June 30, 2004, 38,068 Units have been reinvested representing $418,749 in proceeds to the Company.
Note 4
Management Agreements
Except for the Western managed hotels, the Companys Marriott brand hotels are subject to management agreements under which Marriott or its affiliates (the Manager) manages the hotels and provides access to the Company to Marriotts intellectual property and proprietary sales and reservation system, generally for an initial term of 30 years with renewal terms at the option of the Manager and the Company of up to an additional 30 years. The agreements generally provide for payment of base management fees, which are calculated annually and are a percentage of sales, incentive management fees over a priority return (as defined in the management agreements), system fees, marketing fees and chain services. Additionally, these agreements have termination provisions for the Company if certain operating results are not achieved. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company incurred approximately $469,000 in incentive management fees. No incentive management fees were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Western International Inc. (Western) manages three of the Companys Residence Inn hotels and three of the Companys Courtyard by Marriott hotels. These hotels are given access to Marriotts intellectual property and proprietary sales and reservation system under franchise agreements with Marriott. Western manages day-to-day operations of these hotels and charges management fees for this function, which are calculated as a percent of revenue. Each hotel is also subject to incentive management fees, if certain levels of operating profit are reached. During the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company incurred no incentive management fees. The management agreements are for a term of five years and include a provision for early termination if certain results and conditions are not met.
Promus Hotels Inc. (Promus) manages day-to-day operations of the Companys Homewood Suites and Hilton Garden Inn hotels. Promus charges fees for this function, which are calculated as a percentage of revenue. Incentive management fees are calculated, for certain properties, on the basis of operating profit of the hotels. No incentive management fees were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2004 or 2003. Promus also charges a fee, calculated as a percentage of suite revenue, for franchise licenses to operate as a Homewood Suites by Hilton or a Hilton Garden Inn and to participate in its reservation system. Each hotel is also subject to incentive management fees, if certain levels of operating profit are reached.
Total expenses incurred for management fees, system fees, and franchise fees during the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were approximately $1.3 million and $246,000, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were approximately $2.6 million and $381,000, respectively. These expenses are included in franchise and management fees in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Related Parties
The Company has contracted with ASRG, a company owned by Glade M. Knight, to provide brokerage services for the acquisition and disposition of real estate assets for the Company. In accordance with the contract, ASRG is to be paid a fee of approximately 2% of the gross purchase price of any acquisitions or sale price of any dispositions of real estate investments, subject to certain conditions. As of June 30, 2004, ASRG had been paid cumulatively approximately $6.5 million by the Company under the agreement.
Effective January 3, 2003, the Company also contracted with Apple Hospitality Five Advisors, Inc. (AFA), who in turn subcontracted with Apple Suites Advisors, Inc. (ASA), a subsidiary of Apple Hospitality Two, Inc., to advise and provide day-to-day management services for the Company and due-diligence services on acquisitions. In accordance with the contract, the Company pays AFA a fee equal to .1% to .25% of total equity contributions received by the Company in addition to certain reimbursable expenses. AFA in turn pays that total amount to Apple Suites Advisors. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company incurred and paid advisory expenses of approximately $356,000 under this agreement, which are included in general and administrative expense.
In June 2004, the Company transferred its rights under a purchase contract for a hotel in Redmond, Washington to Apple REIT Six, Inc. This transaction was entered into to prevent the Company from incurring secured debt to complete its planned property acquisitions. The transfer was completed at no expense to the Company.
ASRG and AFA are 100% owned by Mr. Knight.
Mr. Knight also serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cornerstone Realty Income Trust, Inc., an apartment REIT, Apple Hospitality Two, Inc., a hospitality REIT, and Apple REIT Six, Inc., a diversified REIT.
Note 6
Commitments
The Company is under contract for five additional hotels that are currently under development. The estimated purchase price upon completion of the hotels is approximately $81 million. The contracts are subject to normal due diligence and no assurances can be given that purchases will be consummated. Four of the properties are anticipated to close during the remainder of 2004 with the fifth to close in 2005. It is anticipated substantially all of the purchase price will be paid from cash on hand. The properties are located in Texas, Arizona and Virginia and will be similar to the properties currently owned by the Company.
Note 7
Subsequent Events
In July 2004, the Company declared and paid approximately $3.4 million, or $.073 per share, in distributions to its common shareholders of record on June 30, 2004.
10
In July 2004, the Company also redeemed 247,749 Units representing approximately $2.7 million, under the Companys share redemption plan.
Note 8
Industry Segments
The Company owns primarily extended-stay and limited-service hotel properties throughout the United States that generate rental and other property related income. The Company separately evaluates the performance of each of its hotel properties. However, because each of the hotel properties has similar economic characteristics, facilities, and services, the properties have been aggregated into a single segment. All segment disclosure is included in or can be derived from the Companys consolidated financial statements.

Item 2 Managements Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operation
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such Statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include the ability of the Company to implement its acquisition strategy and operating strategy; the Companys ability to manage planned growth; changes in economic cycles and competition within the extended-stay hotel industry. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore there can be no assurance that such statements included in the quarterly report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved. In addition, the Companys qualification as a real estate investment trust involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Readers should carefully review the Companys financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in the Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview
The Company was formed and initially capitalized on September 20, 2002, with its first investor closing on January 3, 2003. On March 18, 2004, the Company concluded its best-efforts offering. The Company owns 23 hotels within different markets in the United States. The Company intends to be treated as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes. The Companys first hotel was acquired in January 2003 with twenty-one additional hotels acquired throughout 2003 and one hotel acquired in the first quarter of 2004. The performance of the Companys hotels can be influenced by many factors, including local hotel competition, local and national economic conditions and the performance of the individual managers assigned to its hotels. In evaluating financial condition and operating performance, the most important matters on which the Company focuses are revenue measurements, such as average occupancy, average daily rate and revenue per available room, and expenses, such as hotel operating expenses, general and administrative and other expenses described below. During the first half of 2003 and 2004, the performance of the Companys hotels met the Companys expectations. The Company will substantially complete its hotel acquisitions in 2004 and work to maximize cash from operations and in turn to maximize shareholder distributions.
Hotels Owned
The Company commenced operations in January 2003 upon the purchase of its first hotel property. As of June 30, 2004, the Company owned a total of 23 hotel properties, with a total of 3,011 suites.

The purchase price for all of the hotels was funded by the Companys best efforts offering of Units. The Company leased all of its hotels to wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries under master hotel lease agreements. The Company also used the proceeds of its offering to pay $6.5 million, approximately 2% of the gross purchase price for these hotels, as a brokerage commission to Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. (ASRG, Inc.). This commission is capitalized as part of the purchase price of the hotels.
No goodwill or intangible assets were recorded in connection with any of the acquisitions.
Management Agreements
The Companys Marriott International Inc. (Marriott) brand hotels (other than the six Marriott brand hotels managed by Western International, Inc., as described below) are subject to management agreements under which Marriott or its affiliates (the Manager) manages the hotels and provides the Company access to Marriotts intellectual property and proprietary sales and reservation system, generally for an initial term of 30 years with renewal terms at the option of the Manager and the Company of up to an additional 30 years. The agreements generally provide for payment of base management fees, which are calculated annually and are a percentage of sales, incentive management fees over a priority return (as defined in the management agreements), system fees, marketing fees and chain services. Additionally, these agreements have termination provisions for the Company if certain operating results are not achieved. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company incurred approximately $469,000 in incentive management fees. No incentive management fees were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2003.
13
Western International Inc. (Western) manages three of the Companys Residence Inn hotels and three of the Companys Courtyard by Marriott hotels. These hotels are given access to Marriotts intellectual property and proprietary sales and reservation system under franchise agreements with Marriott. Western manages day-to-day operations of these hotels and charges management fees for this function, which are calculated as a percentage of revenue. Each hotel is also subject to incentive management fees, if certain levels of operating profit are reached. During the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company incurred no incentive management fees. The management agreements are for a term of five years and include a provision for early termination if certain results and conditions are not met.
Promus Hotels Inc. (Promus) manages day-to-day operations of the Companys Homewood Suites and Hilton Garden Inn hotels. Promus charges fees for this function, which are calculated as a percentage of revenue. Incentive management fees are calculated, for certain properties, on the basis of operating profit of the hotels. No incentive management fees were earned during the six months ended June 30, 2003 or 2004. Promus also charges a fee, calculated as a percentage of suite revenue, for franchise licenses to operate as a Homewood Suites by Hilton or a Hilton Garden Inn and to participate in its reservation system. Each hotel is also subject to incentive management fees, if certain levels of operating profit are reached. During the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company incurred no incentive management fees.
Total expenses incurred for management fees, system fees, and franchise fees during the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were approximately $1.3 million and $246,000, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were approximately $2.6 million and $381,000, respectively. These expenses are included in franchise and management fees in the consolidated statements of operation.
Results of Operations
Since operations commenced on January 3, 2003, with the Companys first acquisition, a comparison to prior year results is not meaningful. In general, the performance of the Companys hotels have met expectations for the short period held. Hotel performance is impacted by many factors including local hotel competition and local and national economic conditions in the United States. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Companys operating performance will continue to meet expectations.
Revenues
The Companys principal source of revenue is hotel suites revenue and related other revenue. Hotel operations stated are for the Companys hotels acquired through June 30, 2004 and 2003 and for the respective periods owned. For the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company had suite revenue and other revenue of $20.8 million and $4.3 million and $1.5 million and $434,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company had suite revenue and other revenue of $40.8 million and $6.4 million and $3.2 million and $230,000, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the hotels achieved average occupancy of 76% and 84%, ADR of $100 and $89, and RevPAR of $76 and $75. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the hotels achieved average occupancy of 74% and 83%, ADR of $102 and $89, and RevPAR of $76 and $74. ADR, or average daily rate, is calculated as room revenue divided by the number of rooms sold, and RevPAR, or revenue per available room, is calculated as occupancy multiplied by ADR. The increase in ADR and RevPAR is due to the acquisition of a full service Marriott Suites hotel during the fourth quarter of 2003, which maintains a higher RevPAR than the other brands owned by the Company. The overall revenue increase in revenue is due to the increase in the number of hotels owned.
14
Expenses
Expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 represented the expenses related to the Companys hotels purchased for their respective periods owned. The overall increase in expenses is due to the increase in the number of hotels owned.
For the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, direct expenses of the hotels totaled approximately $12.3 million or 59% of suite revenue and $2.1 million or 50% of suite revenue, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, direct expenses of the hotels totaled approximately $24.1 million or 59% of suite revenue and $3.3 million or 51% of suite revenue, respectively. This increase as a percentage of revenue is due to the mix of hotels owned in 2004 as compared to 2003. The company acquired a full service hotel and five Courtyard by Marriott hotels in late 2003 which have higher operating costs than traditional limited service hotels.
Taxes, insurance, and other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $1.5 million or 7% of suite revenue and $249,000 or 6% of suite revenue, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, taxes, insurance and other expense was approximately $3.0 million or 7% of suite revenue and $358,000 or 6% of suite revenue, respectively.
General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $524,000 or 3% of suite revenue and $147,000 or 3% of suite revenue, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, general and administrative expense was approximately $888,000 or 2% of suite revenue and $252,000 or 4% of suite revenue, respectively. The Company anticipates this percentage will decrease as its asset base grows.
Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $2.3 million and $616,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, depreciation expense was approximately $4.5 million and $870,000, respectively. Depreciation expense represents expense of the Companys hotels and related personal property for their respective periods owned.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company commenced operations effective January 3, 2003 with the Companys first investor closing.
The cash flow generated from the properties owned and any short term investments is the Companys principal source of liquidity. In addition, the Company may borrow funds, subject to limitations set forth in its by-laws.
The Companys dividend distribution policy is at the discretion of the board of directors and depends on several factors. The distribution rate is currently at an annual rate of $.88 per Unit outstanding (or $.22 per quarter). The Companys distributions currently include a return of capital based on the Companys earnings and profits. Although the Company anticipates operating cash flow for a full year of operations to allow the Company to continue its current dividend payment policy, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue its current dividend amount or that it will be completely funded from operations.
In general, the Company expects capital resources to be adequate to meet its cash requirements in 2004.
As of June 30, 2004, the Company had cash on hand of $96 million. The Company intends to use the cash on hand to purchase hotel properties and pay distributions.
15
The Company has on-going capital commitments to fund its capital improvements. The Company is required, under all of the Companys management agreements, to make available, for the repair, replacement, refurbishing of furniture, fixtures, and equipment, an amount of approximately 5% of gross revenues provided that such amount may be used for the Companys capital expenditures with respect to the hotels. The Company expects that this amount will be adequate to fund required repair, replacement, and refurbishments and to maintain the Companys hotels in a competitive condition. As of June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company held approximately $4 million and $582,000, respectively, in reserve.
The Company anticipates that cash flow will be adequate to cover its operating expenses and to permit the Company to meet its anticipated liquidity requirements, including distribution requirements. Inflation may increase the Companys operating costs.
The Company is under contract for five additional hotels that are currently under development. The estimated purchase price upon completion of the hotels is approximately $81 million. The contracts are subject to normal due diligence and no assurances can be given that purchases will be consummated. Four of the properties are anticipated to close during the remainder of 2004 with the fifth to close in early 2005. It is anticipated substantially all of the purchase price will be paid from cash on hand. The properties are located in Texas, Arizona, and Virginia and will be similar to the properties currently owned by the Company.
Subsequent Events
In July 2004, the Company paid approximately $3.4 million, or $0.073 per share, as a distribution to its common shareholders.
In July 2004, the Company also redeemed 247,749 Units representing approximately $2.7 million under the Companys share redemption plan.
Impact of Inflation
Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. Competitive pressures may, however, limit the operators ability to raise room rates. Currently the Company is not experiencing any material impact from inflation.
Seasonality
The hotel industry historically has been seasonal in nature. Seasonal variations in occupancy at its hotels may cause quarterly fluctuations in its revenues. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, the Company expects to utilize cash on hand to make distributions.
Related Party Transactions
The Company has significant transactions with related parties. These transactions cannot be construed to be arms length, and the results of the Companys operations may be different if these transactions were conducted with non-related parties.
The Company has contracted with ASRG to provide brokerage services for the acquisition and disposition of the Companys real estate assets. In accordance with the contract, ASRG is paid a fee of approximately 2% of the gross purchase price of any acquisitions or gross sale price of any dispositions of real estate investments, subject to certain conditions. These amounts are capitalized as part of the purchase price of the hotels. Total payments to date to ASRG for services under the terms of this contract were approximately $6.5 million, which have been capitalized as a part of the purchase price of the hotels.
16
The Company also contracted with Apple Hospitality Five Advisors, Inc. (AFA), which in turn subcontracts with Apple Suites Advisors, Inc. (ASA), a subsidiary of Apple Hospitality Two Inc., to advise and provide day-to-day management services for the Company and due-diligence services on acquisitions. In accordance with the contract, the Company pays AFA a fee equal to .1% to .25% of total equity contributions received by the Company in addition to certain reimbursable expenses. In turn AFA pays that total amount to Apple Suites Advisors. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company incurred and paid advisory expenses of approximately $356,000 under this agreement, which are included in general and administrative expense.
As of December 31, 2002, AFA, ASRG and ASA were 100% owned by Mr. Knight, the Companys Chairman. As of January 31, 2003, the outstanding shares of ASA owned by Mr. Knight were purchased by Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. and ASA is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Apple Hospitality Two, Inc.
The Company issued 240,000 Series B convertible preferred shares to Mr. Knight. The Series B convertible preferred shares were issued in exchange for payment of $0.10 per Series B convertible preferred share, or an aggregate of $24,000. There is no dividend payable on the Series B convertible preferred shares. On liquidation, the holder of the Series B convertible preferred shares will be entitled to a liquidation payment of $11 per share before any distributions of liquidation proceeds to holders of the common shares. However, the priority liquidation payment of the holder of the Series B convertible preferred shares is junior to the holders of the Series A preferred shares distribution rights. In the event that the liquidation of the Companys assets results in proceeds that exceed the distribution rights of the Series A preferred shares and the Series B convertible preferred share, the remaining proceeds will be distributed between the common shares and the Series B convertible preferred shares on an as converted basis.
Each holder of outstanding Series B convertible preferred shares has the right to convert any of such shares into common shares upon and for 180 days following the occurrence of any of the following conversion events:
(1) substantially all of the Companys assets, stock or business, is transferred as a going concern, whether through exchange, merger, consolidation, lease, share exchange or otherwise, other than a sale of assets in liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Companys business; or
(2) the Companys common shares are listed on any securities exchange or quotation system or in any established market (Conversion Event).
Upon the occurrence of any Conversion Event, the Series B convertible preferred shares may be converted into a maximum of 2,907,415 common shares. In addition, upon conversion of the Series B convertible preferred shares into common shares, the Series A preferred shares will terminate and the priority distribution in liquidation associated with the Series A preferred shares will disappear. If the Company terminates or fails to renew the Advisory Agreement with AFA, the Series B convertible preferred shares will be entitled to dividend distributions and voting rights on an as converted basis. In this event, the liquidation preference of the Series A preferred shares will continue.
No additional consideration is due upon the conversion of the Series B convertible preferred shares. Upon the probable occurrence of a conversion event, the Company will record expense for the difference between the fair value of its common stock and issue price of the Series B convertible preferred shares.
17
Compensation expense related to issuance of 240,000 Series B convertible preferred shares to Mr. Knight will be recognized at such time when the number of common shares to be issued for conversion of the Series B shares can be reasonably estimated and the event triggering the conversion of the Series B shares to common shares is probable. The expense will be measured as the difference between the fair value of the common stock for which the Series B shares can be converted and the amounts paid for the Series B shares. A conversion event is not considered probable at June 30, 2004. The beneficial conversion feature at June 30, 2004, assuming a conversion event is probable would be approximately 2.9 million common shares, which based upon the sales price of the Companys shares at $11 per share would result in approximately $32 million of compensation expense.
In June 2004, the Company transferred its rights under a purchase contract for a hotel in Redmond, Washington to Apple REIT Six, Inc. Apple REIT Six, Inc. has the same Chairman and CEO as the Company. This transaction was entered into to prevent the Company from incurring secured debt to complete its planned property acquisitions. The transfer was completed at no expense to the Company.
Recent Account Pronouncements
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46) and subsequently revised FIN 46 in December 2003. Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 46. The Company did not identify any variable interest entities (VIEs) of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, thus, the Company was not required to consolidate any VIEs.
18
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
The Company does not engage in transactions in derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. As of June 30, 2004, the Companys financial instruments were not exposed to significant market risk due to interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation process, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective and that there have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Since that evaluation process was completed, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls.
19
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
During the first quarter of 2004, the Company instituted a dividend reinvestment plan. The purpose of the plan is to provide the Companys shareholders with a convenient and inexpensive way to increase their investment in the Company by reinvesting their dividends to purchase additional Units.
Share Redemption Program
The Company has instituted a share redemption program to provide its shareholders who have held their Units for at least one year with the benefit of limited interim liquidity, by presenting for redemption all or any portion of their Units at any time and in accordance with certain procedures. Once this time limitation has been met, the Company may, subject to certain conditions and limitations, redeem the Units presented for redemption for cash, to the extent that the Company has sufficient funds available to fund the redemption. If Units are held for the required one-year period, the Units may be redeemed for a purchase price equal to the lesser of: (1) $11.00 per unit; or (2) the purchase price per Unit that was actually paid for the Units. The board of directors reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, to waive the one-year holding period, reject any request for redemption, change the purchase price for redemptions or otherwise amend the terms of, suspend, or terminate the share redemption program. Redemption of units, when requested, will be made quarterly on a first-come, first-served basis. The Companys board of directors, in its sole discretion, may choose to suspend or terminate the share redemption program or reduce the number of Units purchased under the share redemption program if it determines the funds otherwise available to fund the share redemption program are needed for other purposes. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company redeemed $1,982,284, representing 183,918 Units. These redemptions were funded through the Companys Additional Share Option plan which was available through the end of the Companys best efforts offering of Units. Redemptions after June 30, 2004 will be funded primarily through the Companys Dividend Reinvestment Program.
