Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1

 

General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited financials should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s December 31, 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.

 

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 owns 27 hotels and is operated as and has annually elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). The REIT Modernization Act, effective January 1, 2001, permits a REIT to establish taxable businesses to conduct certain previously disallowed business activities. The Company has formed wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries, and has leased all of its hotels to these subsidiaries (collectively, the “Lessees”).

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company recorded no comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

 

Stock Incentive Plans

 

As the exercise price of the Company’s 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 three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, and no options were issued during these periods.

 

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. The Series B convertible preferred shares are not convertible based on market conditions, therefore, they 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

 

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123 (R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in Statement 123 (R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123 (R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. Statement 123 (R) must be adopted no later than January 1, 2006 by the Company. The Company is currently analyzing the impact of the new statement.

 

Note 2

 

Investments in Hotels

 

The Company owned 27 hotels as of March 31, 2005. Five of the hotels were acquired after the first quarter of 2004 (none in 2005). The Company is under contract for two remaining hotels that are under development. The estimated purchase price upon completion is approximately $45 million. The contracts are subject to normal due diligence and no assurance can be given that the purchases will be consummated. The properties are anticipated to close in the second quarter of 2005.

 

Note 3

 

Shareholders’ Equity

 

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 three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company redeemed 341,488 Units in the amount of $3,735,686 under the plan.

 

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 Company’s Unit Redemption Program, enhancing properties, satisfying financing obligations and other expenses, increasing working capital, funding various corporate operations, and acquiring extended-stay hotels. The Company has registered 7 million shares for potential issuance under the Program. As of March 31, 2005, 788,614 Units have been reinvested representing $8,674,750 in proceeds to the Company.

 

Compensation expense related to the issuance of the 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 March 31, 2005. The beneficial conversion feature at March 31, 2005, assuming a conversion event is probable would be approximately 2.9 million common shares, which based upon the sales price of the Company’s shares at $11 per share would result in approximately $32 million of compensation expense.

 

Note 4

 

Related Parties

 

Effective January 3, 2003, the Company 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 three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company incurred and paid advisory and other reimbursable expenses of approximately $380,000 and $169,000, respectively, under this agreement, which are included in general and administrative expense. AFA is 100% owned by Mr. Glade M. Knight, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Apple Hospitality Five, Inc.

 

Mr. Knight also serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Apple Hospitality Two, Inc., a hospitality REIT, Apple REIT Six, Inc., a diversified REIT and Apple Suites Realty Group which provides brokerage services to the Company. The Company also has the same Board of Directors as Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. and Apple REIT Six, Inc.

Item 2. Management’s 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, but are not limited to, the ability of the Company to implement its acquisition strategy and operating strategy; the Company’s ability to manage planned growth; changes in economic cycles and competition within the extended-stay hotel industry. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore there can be no assurance that such statements included in the quarterly report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved. In addition, the Company’s qualification as a real estate investment trust involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Readers should carefully review the Company’s financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

General

 

Overview

 

The Company 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 27 hotels within different markets in the United States. The Company has elected to be treated as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. The Company’s first hotel was acquired in January 2003 with twenty-one additional hotels acquired throughout 2003, and five hotels acquired during 2004. The performance of the Company’s hotels can be influenced by many factors, including local hotel competition, local and national economic conditions and the performance of the individual managers assigned to its hotels. In evaluating financial condition and operating performance, the 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. The performance of the hotels for the period owned have generally met expectations.

Results of Operations

 

The Company’s financial results for the first quarter of 2005 have improved as compared to the first quarter of 2004. The improvement is due to the increase in the number of hotels owned and the increase in business in hotels that were newly constructed in late 2003 and early 2004. Although there can be no assurances of future financial results, since many factors in the hospitality industry are not controllable by the Company, it is anticipated that this improvement will continue throughout 2005.

 

Revenues

 

The Company’s principal source of revenue is hotel suites revenue and related other revenue. Hotel operations stated are for the Company’s hotels acquired through March 31, 2005 and 2004 and for the respective periods owned. For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had total revenue of $26.9 million and $21.7 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the hotels achieved average occupancy of 74% and 72%, ADR of $106 and $104, and RevPAR of $79 and $75. 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 overall increase in revenue is due to an increase of five hotels owned in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the first quarter of 2004 and to the ramp up of business in newly constructed hotels acquired in late 2003 and early 2004.

 

Expenses

 

Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 represented the expenses related to the Company’s hotels purchased for their respective periods owned. The overall expense increase is due to the increased number of hotels owned in 2005 versus 2004.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, direct expenses of the hotels totaled approximately $14.7 million or 55% of total revenue and $11.8 million or 54% of total revenue, respectively.

 

Taxes, insurance, and other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $1.7 million or 6% of total revenue and $1.4 million or 7% of total revenue, respectively.

 

General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $609,000 or 2% of total revenue and $364,000 or 2% of total revenue, respectively.

 

Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $2.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Depreciation expense represents expense of the Company’s hotels and related personal property for their respective periods owned.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $34.3 million at March 31, 2005 and $38.6 million at December 31, 2004. The Company plans to use this cash to fund acquisitions and pay distributions and general corporate expenses.

The cash flow generated from the properties owned and any short term investments is the Company’s principal source of liquidity. In addition, the Company may borrow funds, subject to limitations set forth in its by-laws.

 

The Company’s 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 Company’s distributions currently include a return of capital based on the Company’s earnings and profits. Although the Company anticipates operating cash flow for a full year of operations, from hotels owned and to be acquired, 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.

 

Capital Requirements and Resources

 

The Company has on-going capital commitments to fund its capital improvements. The Company is required, under all of the Company’s management agreements, to make available for the repair, replacement, refurbishing of furniture, fixtures, and equipment of the hotels, an amount of approximately 5% of gross revenues. The Company expects that this amount will be adequate to fund required repair, replacement, and refurbishments and to maintain the Company’s hotels in a competitive condition. As of March 31, 2005, the Company held approximately $5.2 million 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.

 

The Company has contracts to purchase two additional hotels that are currently under development. The estimated purchase price upon completion of the hotels is approximately $45 million. The contracts are subject to normal due diligence and no assurances can be given that purchases will be consummated. All of the properties are anticipated to close in 2005. It is anticipated the majority of the purchase price will be paid from cash on hand. The properties are located in Texas and Virginia and will be similar to the properties currently owned by the Company.

 

In general, the Company expects capital resources to be adequate to meet its cash requirements in 2005.

 

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.

 

Subsequent Events

 

In April 2005, the Company paid approximately $3.3 million, or $0.073 per share, as a distribution to its common shareholders of record on March 31, 2005, of which $1 million or 88,144 Units were reinvested under the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

 

In April 2005, the Company also redeemed 306,389 Units representing approximately $3.4 million, under its share redemption program.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

 

During the first quarter of 2004, the Company instituted a dividend reinvestment plan. The purpose of the plan is to provide the Company’s shareholders with a convenient and inexpensive way to increase their investment in the Company by reinvesting their dividends to purchase additional Units. As of March 31, 2005, 788,614 Units have been reinvested representing approximately $8.7 million in proceeds to the Company.

 

Share Redemption Program

 

With its initial offering the Company 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 Company’s 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. These redemptions are primarily funded through the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. The following is a summary of redemptions during the first quarter of 2005:
