NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1

 

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 financial statements included in its 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the period ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the period ending December 31, 2005.

 

Note 2

 

General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization

 

Apple REIT Six, Inc. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries the “Company”) is a Virginia corporation that intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. The Company, which began operations and acquired its first hotel on May 28, 2004, was formed to invest in hotels, residential apartment communities and other selected real estate in selected metropolitan areas in the United States. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its direct or indirect subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Offering Costs

 

The Company is raising capital through a “best-efforts” offering of Units by David Lerner Associates, Inc., which receives selling commissions and a marketing expense allowance based on proceeds of the shares sold.

 

From the Company’s initial capitalization on January 20, 2004 through March 31, 2005, the Company incurred costs of approximately $50,925,443 related to its offering. These costs are reflected as a reduction to shareholders’ equity. As of March 31, 2005, the Company has closed on a total of 45,257,882 Units, representing net proceeds of $444,530,304.

 

Earnings per Common Share

 

Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated after giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding for the year. Series B convertible shares are not convertible based on market conditions, therefore, they are not included in earnings per common share until such time it becomes probable that such shares can be converted to common shares.

 

6


Comprehensive Income

 

The Company recorded no comprehensive income during the periods reported.

 

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 period ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

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 in the process of analyzing the impact of this new standard.

Substantially all of the purchases were funded with proceeds of the Company’s ongoing 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 ongoing offering to pay 2% of the gross purchase price for these hotels, which equals $797,000, as a commission to Apple Six Realty Group, Inc. (“ASRG”). ASRG is owned by the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Glade M. Knight.

Stonebridge Realty Advisors, Inc., or one of its affiliates, will manage both the Hampton Inn Anchorage and the Courtyard Lake Mary. Hilton Hotels Corporation, or one of its affiliates, will manage the Hilton Garden Inn Bakersfield and the Hilton Garden Inn Tallahassee. The terms and fees of the four new management agreements are similar to the Company’s existing management agreements.

 

No goodwill or intangible assets were recorded in connection with any of the acquisitions.

 

As of March 31,2005, investment in real estate consisted of the following (in thousands):

 

Land

   $ 36,633  

Building and Improvements

     181,621

The company has entered into purchase contracts for ten additional hotels. Eight of the ten hotels are under construction and should be completed over the next nine months. The other two hotels are expected to close in the first half of 2005. Although the Company believes there is a reasonable probability that it will acquire these hotels, there can be no assurance that all of the conditions to closing will be satisfied. The following table summarizes the location, brand, gross purchase price and number of rooms for each hotel. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

Note 4

 

Related Parties

 

The Company has significant transactions with related parties. These transactions cannot be construed to be arms length, and the results of the Company’s operations may be different if these transactions were conducted with non-related parties.

 

The Company has a contract with ASRG, a related party, to provide brokerage services for the acquisition and disposition of the Company’s real estate assets. In accordance with the contract, ASRG is paid a fee of 2% of the gross purchase price of any acquisitions or gross sale price of any dispositions of real estate investments, subject to certain conditions. As of March 31, 2005, payments to ASRG for services under the terms of this contract have totaled $4.4 million, which were capitalized as a part of the purchase price of the hotels.

 

The Company is party to an advisory agreement with Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (“ASA”), pursuant to which ASA provides management services to the Company. An annual fee ranging from .1% to .25% of total equity proceeds received by the Company, in addition to certain reimbursable expenses, are payable for these services. ASA utilizes Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. to provide these services. Expenses related to the ASA agreement, for the period ended March 31, 2005, totaled approximately $300,000.

 

Mr. Knight is also Chairman and CEO of Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. (a hospitality REIT), Apple Hospitality Five, Inc. (a hospitality REIT), ASRG and ASA. The Company’s Board of Directors is the same as Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. and Apple Hospitality Five, Inc.

 

Note 5

 

Shareholders’ Equity

 

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. Although the fair market value cannot be determined at this time, compensation expense if the maximum offering is achieved could range from $0 to in excess of $63 million (assumes $11 per unit fair market value). Based on equity raised through March 31, 2005, if a triggering event had been probable, compensation expense would have ranged from $0 to $28.8 million which represent 2.6 million shares of common stock.

Note 6

 

Pro Forma Information

 

The following unaudited pro forma information for the three months ended March 31, 2005, is presented as if the acquisitions of the Company’s four new hotels occurred on January 1, 2005. The pro forma information does not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations would actually have been if such transactions, in fact, had occurred on January 1, 2005, nor does it purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

 

    

For the period ended

March 31, 2005

(in thousands, except per share data)


Hotel revenues

   $ 14,118

Net income

   $ 3,289

Net income per share-basic and diluted

   $ 0.08

 

The pro forma information reflects adjustments for actual revenues and expenses of the four hotels acquired as of March 31, 2005 for the respective period in 2005 prior to acquisition by the Company. Net income has been adjusted as follows: (1) interest income was adjusted to reflect the reduction in cash and cash equivalents required to fund the acquisitions; (2) depreciation has been adjusted based on the Company’s basis in the hotels; (3) interest expense has been adjusted to reflect the assumption of debt associated with acquisition of the Hampton Inn hotel in Anchorage, Alaska.

 

Note 7

 

Subsequent Events

 

On April 15, 2005, the Company declared and paid $3.3 million or $.073 per share, in a distribution to its common shareholders.

 

In April 2005, the Company closed on an additional 4,320,366 Units, representing gross proceeds of $47.5 million and proceeds net of selling and marketing costs of $42.8 million.

 

On April 21, 2005, the Company closed on the purchase of a Hampton Inn hotel in Foothill Ranch, California, which contains 84 rooms and was in operation when acquired. The gross purchase price of the hotel was $7.4 million. In conjunction with this acquisition, the Company assumed debt in the amount of $4.5 million, which is secured by a first mortgage on the hotel.

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 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.

 

Overview

 

Apple REIT Six, Inc. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a Virginia corporation that intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. The Company was formed to invest in hotels, residential apartment communities and other selected real estate in selected metropolitan areas in the United States. Initial capitalization occurred on January 20, 2004, and the first hotel was acquired on May 28, 2004. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its direct or indirect subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. 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 items 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.

Hotels Owned

 

As of March 31, 2005, the Company owned a total of 15 hotels, with a total of 1,910 rooms. The following table summarizes the location, brand, manager, date acquired, gross purchase price and number of rooms for each hotel. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

Substantially all of the purchases were funded with proceeds of the Company’s ongoing best-efforts offering of Units. The Company leased all of its hotels to wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries (collectively, the “lessee”) under master hotel lease agreements. The Company also used the proceeds of its ongoing offering to pay 2% of the gross purchase price for these hotels, which equals approximately $4.4 million, as a commission to Apple Six Realty Group, Inc. (“ASRG”). ASRG is owned by the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and president, Glade M. Knight.

 

No goodwill or intangible assets were recorded in connection with any of the acquisitions.

 

Results of Operations

 

During the period from January 20, 2004 to May 27, 2004, the Company owned no properties, had no revenue and was engaged in initial capital-raising activities. Operations commenced on May 28, 2004, when the company purchased its first hotel in Ft. Worth, Texas. As a result, a comparison to the first quarter of 2004 would not be meaningful.

 

In general, performance at the Company’s hotels have met expected financial results. Hotel performance is impacted by many factors including the economic conditions in the United States, as well as each locality. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company’s operating performance will continue to meet expectations in the future.

Revenues

 

The Company’s principal source of revenue is hotel room revenue and related other revenue. For the period ended March 31, 2005, the Company had total revenues of $11.9 million. For the period ended March 31, 2005, the hotels achieved average occupancy of 68%, an average daily rate (“ADR”) of $105 and revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) of $71. ADR is calculated as room revenue divided by the number of rooms sold, and RevPAR is calculated as occupancy multiplied by ADR. RevPAR is expected to increase as newly opened properties gain market share.

 

For the period ended March 31, 2005, the Company had interest income of $0.6 million. Interest income represents earnings on excess cash invested in short term money market instruments.

 

Expenses

 

For the period ended March 31, 2005, hotel operating expenses totaled $6.9 million or 57.6% of total revenue. This percentage is expected to decrease as revenues for newly opened properties ramp up.

 

Taxes, insurance, and other expenses for the period ended March 31, 2005 were $0.6 million or 5% of total revenue.

 

General and administrative expense for the period ended March 31, 2005 was $0.5 or 4% of total revenue. The Company anticipates this percentage to decrease as the Company’s asset base grows. The principal components of general and administrative expense are advisory fees, legal fees, accounting fees and reporting expense.

 

Depreciation expense for the period ended March 31, 2005 was $1.3 million. Depreciation expense represents expense of the Company’s 15 hotels and related personal property for their respective periods owned.

 

Interest expense for the period ended March 31, 2005 was $0.2 million. Interest expense arose from debt assumed with the acquisition of the Hampton Inn & Suites in Glendale, Colorado and the Hampton Inn in Anchorage, Alaska.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company is raising capital through a “best-efforts” offering of Units by David Lerner Associates, Inc., which receives selling commissions and a marketing expense allowance based on proceeds of the shares sold.

 

Each Unit consists of one common share and one Series A preferred share. The Series A preferred shares will have no voting rights, no conversion rights and no distribution rights. The only right associated with the Series A preferred shares will be a priority distribution upon the sale of the Company’s assets. The priority would be equal to $11.00 per Series A preferred share, and no more, before any distributions are made to the holders of any other shares. The Series A preferred shares will not be separately tradable from the common shares to which they relate.

From the Company’s initial capitalization on January 20, 2004 through March 31, 2005, the Company incurred costs of approximately $50.9 million related to its offering. These costs are reflected as a reduction to shareholders’ equity. As of March 31, 2005, the Company has closed on a total of 45,257,882 Units, representing gross proceeds and proceeds net of selling, marketing fees, and other costs of approximately $495.5 million and $444.5 million, respectively.

 

Through March 31, 2005, the Company has paid distributions totaling approximately $17.8 million which were paid monthly at a rate of $0.073 per share. The Company had its first investor closing on April 23, 2004 and acquired its first hotel on May 28, 2004. Due to this inherent delay between raising capital and investing that same capital in income producing real estate, the Company had significant amounts of cash earning interest at short term money market rates. As a result, a significant portion of the distributions have been a return of capital. The Company intends to continue paying dividends on a monthly basis at an annual rate of 8%. However, since there can be no assurance of the Company’s ability to acquire properties that provide income at this level, there can be no assurance as to the classification or duration of the distributions at this rate.

 

The Company intends to acquire real estate properties with its available cash. Although the Company is currently performing due diligence on several possible acquisitions, the timing of finding suitable properties is dependant upon many external factors and there can be no assurances as to the length of time to utilize all proceeds of its best-efforts offering for investment in real estate. The Company’s proceeds raised and not invested in real estate are held as cash or cash equivalents.

 

The company has entered into purchase contracts for ten additional hotels. Eight of the ten hotels are under construction and should be completed over the next nine months. The other two hotels are expected to close in the first half of 2005. Although the Company believes there is a reasonable probability that it will acquire these hotels, there can be no assurance that all of the conditions to closing will be satisfied. The following table summarizes the location, brand, gross purchase price and number of rooms for each hotel. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

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 Company’s operations may be different if these transactions were conducted with non-related parties.

 

The Company has a contract with ASRG, a related party, to provide brokerage services for the acquisition and disposition of the Company’s real estate assets. In accordance with the contract, ASRG is paid a fee of 2% of the gross purchase price of any acquisitions or gross sale price of any dispositions of real estate investments, subject to certain conditions. As of March 31, 2005, payments to ASRG for services under the terms of this contract have totaled $4.4 million, which were capitalized as a part of the purchase price of the hotels.

 

The Company is party to an advisory agreement with Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (“ASA”), pursuant to which ASA provides management services to the Company. An annual fee ranging from .1% to .25% of total equity proceeds received by the Company, in addition to certain reimbursable expenses, are payable for these services. ASA utilizes Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. to provide these services. Expenses related to the ASA agreement, for the period ended March 31, 2005, totaled approximately $300,000.

 

Mr. Knight is also Chairman and CEO of Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. (a hospitality REIT), Apple Hospitality Five, Inc. (a hospitality REIT), ASRG and ASA. The Company’s Board of Directors is the same as Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. and Apple Hospitality Five, Inc.

 

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

 

On April 15, 2005, the Company declared and paid $3.3 million or $.073 per share, in a distribution to its common shareholders.

 

In April 2005, the Company closed on an additional 4,320,366 Units, representing gross proceeds of $47.5 million and proceeds net of selling and marketing costs of $42.8 million.

 

On April 21, 2005, the Company closed on the purchase of a Hampton Inn hotel in Foothill Ranch, California, which contains 84 rooms and was in operation when acquired. The gross purchase price of the hotel was $7.4 million. In conjunction with this acquisition, the Company assumed debt in the amount of $4.5 million, which is secured by a first mortgage on the hotel.

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 March 31, 2005, the Company’s 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. The Company will be exposed to changes in short term money market rates as it invests the proceeds from sale of Units pending use in acquisitions. Based on the Company’s cash invested at March 31, 2005, or $210 million, a 100 basis point change in interest rates will impact the Company’s net income by $2.1 million, all other factors remaining the same. Cash invested pending acquisitions will vary substantially during the coming year based on the amount of proceeds raised and the timing of acquisitions.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation process, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective and that there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
