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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements included in its 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the period ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the period ending December 31, 2009.
Note 2
General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Apple REIT Six, Inc. (the Company) is a Virginia corporation formed to invest in hotels and other selected real estate in select metropolitan areas in the United States. The Company has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes. Initial capitalization occurred on January 20, 2004 and operations began on May 28, 2004 when the Company acquired its first hotel. On March 3, 2006, the Company concluded its best-efforts offering of Units (each Unit consists of one common share and one Series A preferred share). The Company has no foreign operations or assets and its operating structure includes only one segment. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share are computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are calculated after giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding for the year. There were no potential common shares with a dilutive effect during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 or 2008. Series B convertible preferred shares are not included in earnings per common share calculations until such time as the Series B convertible preferred shares are converted to common shares.
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
Accounting Standards Codification
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a pronouncement establishing the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The standard explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) under federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. This standard is effective for financial statements issued
6
for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Noncontrolling Interests
In June 2009, the FASB issued a pronouncement which amends its guidance surrounding a companys analysis to determine whether any of its variable interests constitute controlling financial interests in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance. The new pronouncement also requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and enhanced disclosure about an enterprises involvement with a variable interest entity. This pronouncement will be applied prospectively and will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent Events
In May 2009, the FASB issued a pronouncement which sets forth general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Although there is new terminology, this pronouncement is based on the same principles as those that currently exist in the auditing standards. This pronouncement, which includes a required disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, was effective for the Company beginning June 30, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Assets Acquired or Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination
In April 2009, the FASB issued a pronouncement which amends its guidance for all assets acquired and all liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies. This pronouncement states that the acquirer will recognize such an asset or liability if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period. If it cannot be determined during the measurement period, then the asset or liability should be recognized as of the acquisition date if the following criteria are met: (1) information available before the end of the measurement period indicates that it is probable that an asset existed or that a liability had been incurred at the acquisition date, and (2) the amount of the asset or liability can be reasonably estimated. This pronouncement was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In April 2009, the FASB issued a pronouncement which requires fair value disclosures for financial instruments that are not reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Prior to the issuance of this pronouncement, the fair values of those assets and liabilities were disclosed only once each year. With the issuance of this pronouncement, this information will be required to be disclosed on a quarterly basis, providing quantitative and qualitative information about fair value estimates for all financial instruments not measured in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. This pronouncement was adopted by the Company in the second quarter of 2009 and did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

Note 3
Sale of Ownership Interest
In January 2009, the Companys ownership interest in Apple Air Holding, LLC (Apple Air), was reduced from 50% to 26% through the redemption of a 24% ownership interest by Apple Air. The Company received approximately $3.2 million for the ownership interest redeemed. No gain or loss from the redemption was recognized by the Company. Due to the reduction in ownership the Company deconsolidated Apple Air and now records its ownership interest of approximately $2.6 million at September 30, 2009 in Other assets, net. The Company records its share of income or loss of Apple Air under the equity method of accounting, adjusting its investment accordingly. The other members of Apple Air are Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc.
Note 4
Line of Credit
In March 2008, the Company entered into a $20 million unsecured line of credit with a commercial bank. The applicable interest rate is equal to LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate) plus 2%. Interest payments are due monthly. Effective August 31, 2009, the Company modified this agreement, increasing its capacity to $40 million. The principal must be paid by the maturity date of March 2011, and may be prepaid without penalty. The Company has an option to extend the line of credit one year, subject to a fee and certain conditions. Under the modified agreement, the new applicable interest rate is equal to LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate) plus 3.5%, with a minimum interest rate of 5.0%. The line of credit also has an unused fee of 0.5%. At September 30, 2009, the credit line had an outstanding principal balance of $20.0 million. At December 31, 2008, the credit line had no outstanding principal balance.
Note 5
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate debt and the credit spreads over variable market rates on its variable rate debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates or credit spreads consistent with the maturity of the debt obligation with similar credit policies. Credit spreads take into consideration general market conditions and maturity. As of September 30, 2009, the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Companys debt was $48.3 and $49.6 million. As of December 31, 2008, the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Companys debt was $29.1 and $31.2 million. The carrying value of the Companys other financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Note 6
Related Parties
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 is party to an advisory agreement with Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (A6A), pursuant to which A6A 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, is payable for these services. During the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, A6A utilized Apple Fund Management, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, to provide these services. The advisory fees incurred under the agreement with A6A for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, totaled approximately $1.1 and $1.9 million for each period and are included in general and administrative expense in the Companys consolidated statements of operations.

Shareholders Equity
In July 2005, the Company instituted a Unit Redemption Program to provide limited interim liquidity to its shareholders who have held their Units for at least one year. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company redeemed approximately 2.8 million Units in the amount of $31.0 million under the program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company redeemed approximately 1.3 million Units in the amount of $14.1 million.
In February 2006, the Company instituted a Dividend Reinvestment Plan for 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 hotels. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, approximately 2.4 million Units, representing $26.3 million in proceeds to the Company, were issued under the plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, approximately 2.4 million Units, representing $26.6 million in proceeds to the Company, were issued under the plan.

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 Companys ability to manage planned growth; changes in economic cycles, including the current economic recession throughout the United States; and competition within the 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
Apple REIT Six, Inc. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, the Company) was formed and initially capitalized on January 20, 2004, with its first investor closing on April 23, 2004. The Company owns 68 hotels within different markets in the United States. The Company is treated as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes. The Companys first hotel was acquired on May 28, 2004. Although hotel performance can be influenced by many factors including local competition, local and general economic conditions in the United States and the performance of individual managers assigned to each hotel, performance of the hotels within their respective markets, in general, has met the Companys expectations for the period owned. However, with the decline in economic conditions throughout the United States, the Company has experienced a significant decline in revenue as compared to the prior year. Although there is no way to predict general economic conditions, the Company anticipates revenue and income declines as compared to the same period in 2008 throughout the remainder of 2009 and into 2010. The Company is aggressively working with its management companies to reduce costs to offset revenue declines as much as possible. 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, revenue per available room and market yield, which compares an individual hotels results to others in its local market; and expenses, such as hotel operating expenses, general and administrative and other expenses described below. The following is a summary of the Companys results:

The Company leased all of its hotels to wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries (collectively, the lessee) under hotel lease agreements. The Company also used the proceeds from its best-efforts offering to pay 2% of the gross purchase price for these hotels, which equals approximately $16.9 million, as a commission to Apple Six Realty Group, Inc. (A6RG). A6RG is wholly-owned by the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Glade M. Knight.
No goodwill or intangible assets were recorded in connection with any of the acquisitions.
Results of Operations
Hotel performance is impacted by many factors including the economic conditions in the United States, as well as each locality. Due to a general decline in economic conditions throughout the United States, results from operations did not meet expectations. The Company experienced a decline in net income in the first nine months of 2009 as compared to the first nine months of 2008. The decline is expected to continue until general economic conditions improve. Based on industry analysts, a moderate decline to stable revenue as compared to 2009 is expected for 2010.
Revenues
The Companys principal source of revenue is hotel room revenue and other related revenue. Hotel operations are for the 68 hotels acquired through September 30, 2009 for their respective periods owned. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had total hotel revenue of $58.0 and $70.5 million, respectively, with average occupancy of 70% and 75%, average daily rate (ADR) of $108 and $120 and revenue per available room (RevPAR) of $75 and $90. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had total hotel revenue of $165.1 and $203.8 million, respectively, with average occupancy of 66% and 74%, ADR of $108 and $118 and RevPAR of $72 and $87. ADR is calculated as room revenue divided by the number of rooms sold, and RevPAR is calculated as occupancy multiplied by ADR. These rates are consistent with industry and brand averages. The Company continually works with the hotel managers to maximize rates and occupancy. As a result, although RevPAR has declined, the Company has maintained its average market share as compared to the first nine months of 2008. As supply of hotel rooms in markets that the Company serves has met demand and general economic conditions have deteriorated, the Companys revenue has declined as compared to previous years. In the nine months of 2009, RevPAR was down approximately 17% compared to the first nine months of 2008. The Company anticipates this trend to continue throughout the rest of 2009. Although it is not possible to predict when economic conditions will improve or their impact on the hotel industry, many industry analysts forecast 15-20% declines in RevPAR for the full calendar year of 2009 as compared to 2008 rates. Analysts currently forecast 0 5% declines in RevPAR for 2010 as compared to 2009.
Expenses
With the Companys revenue decline, the Company and its managers are aggressively reducing expenses where possible while still maintaining the quality and service levels of its properties. While certain costs of a hotel are fixed in nature, such as management costs, certain utility costs, minimum maintenance and supply costs, the Company has been successful in reducing overall payroll costs, food and supplies, and utilities by continually monitoring and sharing utilization data across its hotels and management companies. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, hotel operating expenses totaled $34.1 and $39.2 million, respectively, or 59% and 56% of total hotel revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, hotel operating expenses totaled $98.1 and $114.9 million, respectively, or 59% and 56% of total hotel revenue. The Company will continue to aggressively work with its managers to reduce operating costs as revenue declines; however, declines in costs are not expected to offset declines in revenue.
12
Taxes, insurance, and other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $3.4 million, or 6% and 5% of total hotel revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, taxes, insurance, and other expenses were $10.4 million, or 6% and 5% of total hotel revenue. The Company expects property insurance and property taxes to continue to remain consistent with 2008 expenses for the remainder of 2009.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $1.1 and $1.4 million, or 2% of total hotel revenue for each period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, general administrative expenses were $3.6 and $4.2 million, or 2% of hotel revenue for each period. The principal components of general and administrative expense are advisory fees, legal fees, accounting fees and reporting expense.
Depreciation expense was $7.8 million each period for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, depreciation expense was $23.2 and $23.0 million. Depreciation expense represents expense of the Companys 68 hotels and related personal property for their respective periods owned. The increase in depreciation expense from the first nine months of 2008 to the first nine months of 2009 results from renovations completed throughout 2008 and during the first nine months of 2009.
Interest expense, net was $0.7 and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and $1.5 and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. Interest expense relates to debt assumed with certain properties acquired, as well as borrowings on the Companys line of credit. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company capitalized approximately $0.3 and $0.4 million of interest associated with renovation activities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating cash flow from the properties owned and a $40 million line of credit are the Companys principal source of liquidity. In addition, the Company may also borrow additional funds, subject to limitations set forth in its bylaws. The Company anticipates that cash flow and available credit will be adequate to cover its operating expenses and to permit the Company to meet its anticipated liquidity requirements, including distributions, capital expenditures and debt service.
To maintain its REIT status the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its ordinary income. Distributions in the first nine months of 2009 totaled $61.7 million. For the same period the Companys cash generated from operations was $52.0 million. The shortfall was funded by borrowings on the line of credit and cash on hand. Any shortfall for the full year will include a return of capital, and will be funded from cash on hand or borrowings on the credit line. Beginning in February 2008, the monthly dividend rate was raised from $0.073 per common share to $0.075 per common share. The Company intends to continue paying distributions on a monthly basis. However, since there can be no assurance of the ability of the Companys properties to provide income at this level, there can be no assurance as to the classification or duration of distributions at the current rate. Additionally, in light of the weakness in economic conditions throughout the United States, the Board of Directors monitors the Companys distribution rate relative to the performance of the hotels on an ongoing basis and may make adjustments to the distribution rate as determined to be prudent in relation to other cash requirements of the Company.
The Company has on-going capital commitments to fund its capital improvements. The Company is required, under all of the hotel management agreements, to make available, for the repair, replacement, refurbishing of furniture, fixtures, and equipment, an amount of 3% to 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. During the first nine months of 2009, the Company completed seven hotel renovations. Total capital expenditures for the period were approximately $9 million. Due to the deterioration in income the Company has reduced its capital expenditure plans for the remainder of 2009. Total 2009 capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $10 million.

In February 2006, the Company instituted a Dividend Reinvestment Plan for 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 hotels. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, approximately 2.4 million Units, representing $26.3 million in proceeds to the Company, were issued under the plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, approximately 2.4 million Units, representing $26.6 million in proceeds to the Company, were issued under the plan.
In July 2005, the Company instituted a Unit Redemption Program to provide limited interim liquidity to its shareholders who have held their Units for at least one year. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company redeemed approximately 2.8 million Units in the amount of $31.0 million under the program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company redeemed approximately 1.3 million Units in the amount of $14.1 million.
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 is party to an advisory agreement with Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (A6A), pursuant to which A6A 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, is payable for these services. During the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, A6A utilized Apple Fund Management, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, to provide these services. The advisory fees incurred under the agreement with A6A for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, totaled approximately $1.1 and $1.9 million for each period and are included in general and administrative expense in the Companys consolidated statements of operations.
Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Apple Fund Management, LLC, the Company provides support services to Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. (ASRG), A6A, Apple Seven Advisors, Inc. (A7A), Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple Eight Advisors, Inc. (A8A), Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple Nine Advisors, Inc. (A9A) and Apple REIT Nine, Inc. A7A provides day to day advisory and administrative functions for Apple REIT Seven, Inc. A8A provides day to day advisory and administrative functions for Apple REIT Eight, Inc. A9A provides day to day advisory and administrative functions for Apple REIT Nine, Inc. ASRG provides real estate brokerage services to Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc. Each of these companies has agreed to reimburse the Company for its costs in providing these services. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company received reimbursement of its costs totaling approximately $3.9 and $3.3 million. ASRG, A6A, A7A, A8A and A9A are 100% owned by Glade Knight, the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Including ASRG, A6A, A7A, A8A and A9A discussed above, Mr. Knight is also Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc. Members of the Companys Board of Directors are also on the boards of Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc.
In January 2009, the Companys ownership interest in Apple Air Holding, LLC (Apple Air), was reduced from 50% to 26% through the redemption of a 24% ownership interest by Apple Air. The Company received approximately $3.2 million for the ownership interest redeemed. No gain or loss from the redemption was recognized by the Company. Due to the reduction in ownership the Company deconsolidated Apple Air and now records its ownership interest of approximately $2.6 million at

September 30, 2009 in Other assets, net. The Company records its share of income or loss of Apple Air under the equity method of accounting, adjusting its investment accordingly. The other members of Apple Air are Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, 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.
Business Interruption
Being in the real estate industry, the Company is exposed to natural disasters both locally and nationally, and although management believes there is adequate insurance to cover this exposure, there can be no assurance that such events will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
Seasonality
The hotel industry historically has been seasonal in nature. Generally, occupancy rates and hotel revenues are greater in the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth quarters. As a result, there may be quarterly fluctuations in results of operations. 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 and available credit to make distributions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Codification
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a pronouncement establishing the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The standard explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) under federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Noncontrolling Interests
In June 2009, the FASB issued a pronouncement which amends its guidance surrounding a companys analysis to determine whether any of its variable interests constitute controlling financial interests in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance. The new pronouncement also requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and enhanced disclosure about an enterprises involvement with a variable interest entity. This pronouncement will be applied prospectively and will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
15
Subsequent Events
In May 2009, the FASB issued a pronouncement which sets forth general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Although there is new terminology, this pronouncement is based on the same principles as those that currently exist in the auditing standards. This pronouncement, which includes a required disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, was effective for the Company beginning June 30, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Assets Acquired or Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination
In April 2009, the FASB issued a pronouncement which amends its guidance for all assets acquired and all liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies. This pronouncement states that the acquirer will recognize such an asset or liability if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period. If it cannot be determined during the measurement period, then the asset or liability should be recognized as of the acquisition date if the following criteria are met: (1) information available before the end of the measurement period indicates that it is probable that an asset existed or that a liability had been incurred at the acquisition date, and (2) the amount of the asset or liability can be reasonably estimated. This pronouncement was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In April 2009, the FASB issued a pronouncement which requires fair value disclosures for financial instruments that are not reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Prior to the issuance of this pronouncement, the fair values of those assets and liabilities were disclosed only once each year. With the issuance of this pronouncement, this information will be required to be disclosed on a quarterly basis, providing quantitative and qualitative information about fair value estimates for all financial instruments not measured in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. This pronouncement was adopted by the Company in the second quarter of 2009 and did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent Events
In October 2009, the Company declared and paid approximately $6.9 million, or $.075 per share, in distributions to its common shareholders of which $2.9 million or 264,098 Units were reinvested under the Companys Dividend Reinvestment Plan.
On October 20, 2009, the Company redeemed 657,444 Units in the amount of $7.2 million under its Unit Redemption Program.
16
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company does not engage in transactions in derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. As of September 30, 2009, 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. The Company is exposed to changes in short term interest rates paid on its line of credit. Based on the balance of the Companys line of credit at September 30, 2009, of $20.0 million, every 100 basis points change in interest rates will impact the Companys annual net income by $200,000, all other factors remaining the same. The Companys cash balance at September 30, 2009 was $0.
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, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls.
17
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Unit Redemption Program
In July 2005, the Company instituted a Unit 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 Unit redemption program. The following is a summary of redemptions during the third quarter of 2009:
