Business |
Apple REIT Seven, Inc. is a Virginia corporation formed to invest in hotels and other selected real estate. Initial capitalization occurred on May 26, 2005, with its first investor closing under its best efforts offering on March 15, 2006. The Company acquired its first property on April 27, 2006. As of December 31, 2010, the Company owned 51 hotel properties operating in eighteen states. The best efforts offering was completed in July 2007.
The Company is a real estate investment trust (REIT) which owns hotels in the United States. The REIT Modernization Act, effective January 1, 2001, permits real estate investment trusts to establish taxable businesses to conduct certain previously disallowed business activities. The Company has wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries which lease all of the Companys hotels from wholly-owned qualified REIT subsidiaries. The hotels are operated and managed by affiliates of Marriott International, Inc. (Marriott), Hilton Worldwide (Hilton), Western International (Western), Larry Blumberg & Associates (LBA), White Lodging Services Corporation (WLS), Dimension Development Company (Dimension), or Inn Ventures, Inc. (Inn Ventures) under separate hotel management agreements.
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 inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. Refer to Part II, Item 8 of this report, for the consolidated financial statements.
Website Access
The address of the Companys Internet website is www.applereitseven.com. The Company makes available free of charge through its Internet website its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as soon as practicable after the Company electronically files such material with, or furnishes it to, the SEC.
Business Objectives
The Companys acquisition strategy, substantially complete as of September 2008, included purchasing hotels in developed markets with strong brand recognition, high levels of customer satisfaction and the potential for cash flow growth. The Companys primary objective is to enhance shareholder value by increasing funds from operations and cash available for distributions through internal growth and selective hotel renovation. The internal growth strategy includes utilizing the Companys asset management expertise to improve the quality of the Companys hotels by aggressively managing room rates, partnering with industry leaders in hotel management, thereby improving hotel revenue and operating performance, and franchising the hotels with leading brands, thereby improving the performance of an individual hotel in its local market. When cost effective, the Company renovates its properties to increase its ability to compete in particular markets. The Company believes its planned renovations and strong asset management of its portfolio will continue to improve each hotels performance in their individual market, although there can be no assurance of these results.
1
Financing
The Company has nine notes payable that were assumed with the acquisition of hotels. These notes have a total outstanding balance of $101.2 million at December 31, 2010, maturity dates ranging from January 2013 to June 2016, and interest rates ranging from 5.85% to 6.95%. The Company also has an unsecured syndicated revolving credit facility, originated in October 2010, for a maximum aggregate commitment by the lenders, three commercial banks, of $85 million. The credit facility, which matures in October 2012, had an outstanding balance at December 31, 2010 of $44.9 million. The applicable interest rate under the credit facility is, at the Companys option, equal to a) LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate for a one-month term) plus 3.5%, subject to a minimum LIBOR interest rate floor of 1.5%, or b) the banks commercial prime rate plus 3.5%. The effective interest rate for borrowings under the credit facility at December 31, 2010 was 5.0%. Payments of interest only are due monthly under the terms of the credit facility; the Company may make voluntary prepayments in whole or in part, at any time. The Company is required to pay a fee at an annual rate of 0.5% on the average unused balance of the credit facility. At closing the Company borrowed $35.6 million under the credit facility to extinguish its then existing unsecured loans and to pay loan transaction costs, which included arrangement and commitment fees totaling 1.25% of the gross facility commitment. The Company anticipates that cash flow from operations and the credit facility will be adequate to meet its liquidity requirements, including required distributions to shareholders (the Company is not required to make distributions at its current rate for REIT purposes), capital expenditures and debt service. The Company intends to maintain a relatively stable distribution rate instead of raising and lowering the distribution rate with varying economic cycles. Should financial results of the Company and the lodging industry remain depressed compared to pre-recessionary levels, the Company may utilize additional financing to achieve this objective. Although the Company has relatively low levels of debt, there can be no assurances it will be successful with this strategy and may need to reduce its distribution to required levels. If the Company was unsuccessful in extending its maturing debt in future periods or if it were to default on its debt, it may be unable to make distributions. The Companys bylaws require board review and approval of any debt financing obtained by the Company.
Industry and Competition
The hotel industry is highly competitive. Each of the Companys hotels is located in a developed area that includes other hotels and competes for guests primarily with other hotels in the immediate vicinity, and secondarily with other hotels in the Companys geographic market. An increase in the number of competitive hotels in a particular area could have a material adverse effect on the occupancy, average daily rate (ADR) and revenue per available room (RevPAR) of the Companys hotels in that area. The Company believes that brand recognition, location, price and quality (of both the hotel and the services provided) are the principal competitive factors affecting the Companys hotels. General economic conditions in a particular market, and nationally, impact the performance of the hotel industry.
Hotel Operating Performance
At December 31, 2010, the Company owned seven Hilton Garden Inn hotels, seven Residence Inn hotels, ten Courtyard hotels, twelve Homewood Suites hotels, three Fairfield Inns, four SpringHill Suites, four TownePlace Suites, three Hampton Inn hotels, and one full-service Marriott hotel. They are located in eighteen states and, in aggregate, consist of 6,426 rooms. The Companys portfolio of hotels is unchanged from December 31, 2009.
Room revenue for these hotels totaled $181.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, and the hotels achieved average occupancy of 71%, ADR of $108 and RevPAR of $77. Room revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 totaled $174.0 million, and the Companys hotels achieved average occupancy of 67%, ADR of $111 and RevPAR of $74. Hotel performance is impacted by many factors including the economic conditions in the United States as well as each locality. Since the beginning of 2010 the Company has experienced an increase in demand compared to 2009, as shown by the improved occupancy rates. However, in addition to a stabilizing economy, this improvement is a result of reduced room rates as reflected in the ADR decline in 2010 versus 2009. The Company believes room rate has stabilized and should improve slightly in 2011. With expected demand improvement and room rate improvement, the Company and industry anticipate percentage revenue growth in 2011 in the mid single digits as compared to 2010. While 2010 and 2009 results reflect the impact of recessionary to stagnant levels of economic activity, the Companys hotels continue to be leaders in their respective markets. The Companys average Market Yield for 2010 and 2009 was 125 and 123, respectively. The Market Yield is a measure of each hotels RevPAR compared to the average (100) in its local market (the index excludes hotels under renovation). Market Yield is provided by Smith Travel Research, Inc.® an independent company that tracks historical hotel performance in most markets throughout the world.
Management and Franchise Agreements
Each of the Companys 51 hotels are operated and managed, under separate management agreements, by affiliates of one of the following companies: Marriott, Hilton, Western, LBA, Dimension, WLS, or Inn Ventures. The agreements provide
2
for initial terms ranging from one to twenty years. Fees associated with the agreements generally include the payment of base management fees, incentive management fees, accounting fees, and other fees for centralized services which are allocated among all of the hotels that receive the benefit of such services. Base management fees are calculated as a percentage of gross revenues. Incentive management fees are calculated as a percentage of operating profit in excess of a priority return to the Company, as defined in the management agreements. The Company has the option to terminate the management agreements if specified performance thresholds are not satisfied. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred approximately $6.6 million, $6.1 million and $7.4 million, respectively, in management fees.
Western, LBA, WLS, Dimension and Inn Ventures are not affiliated with either Marriott or Hilton, and as a result, the hotels they manage (as well as the two hotels managed by Promus Hotels, Inc., which is an affiliate of Hilton) were required to obtain separate franchise agreements with each respective franchisor. The Hilton franchise agreements provide for initial terms ranging between 10 to 20 years. Fees associated with the Hilton agreements generally include the payment of royalty fees and program fees based on room revenues. The Marriott franchise agreements provide for an initial term of between six and 20 years. Fees associated with the Marriott agreements include the payment of royalty fees, marketing fees, reservation fees and a communications support fee based on room revenues. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred approximately $8.2 million, $7.8 million and $8.3 million, respectively, in franchise fees.
Maintenance and Renovation
The Companys hotels have an ongoing need for renovation and refurbishment. Under various hotel management agreements, the Company has agreed to fund expenditures for periodic repairs, replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment for the hotels in an amount equal to a certain percentage of gross revenues. In addition, other capital improvement projects may be directly funded by the Company. During 2010 and 2009, the Companys capital expenditures were approximately $3.1 million and $14.0 million, respectively.
Employees
The Company does not have any employees. During 2010, all employees involved in the day-to-day operation of the Companys hotels were employed by third party management companies engaged pursuant to the hotel management agreements. The Company utilizes, through an advisory agreement for corporate and strategic support, Apple Seven Advisors, Inc. (ASA) to provide management of the Company and its assets. Since October 2007, ASA has utilized Apple REIT Six, Inc. to provide corporate and strategic support and management services for the Company.
Environmental Matters
In connection with each of the Companys hotel acquisitions, the Company obtained a Phase I Environmental Report and additional environmental reports and surveys, as were necessitated by the preliminary report. Based on the reports, the Company is not aware of any environmental situations requiring remediation at the Companys properties, which have not been, or are not currently being, remediated. No material remediation costs have occurred or are expected to occur. Under various laws, owners as well as tenants and operators of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up or remove hazardous substances present at or migrating from properties they own, lease or operate and may be held liable for property damage or personal injuries that result from hazardous substances. These laws also expose the Company to the possibility that it may become liable to reimburse governments for damages and costs they incur in connection with hazardous substances.
Seasonality
The hotel industry historically has been seasonal in nature. Seasonal variations in occupancy at the Companys 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 and credit availability to make distributions.
Related Parties
The Company has, and is expected to continue to engage in, 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 Companys independent members of the Board of Directors oversee and annually review the Companys related party relationships (which include the relationships discussed in this section) and are required to approve any significant modifications to the contracts, as well as any new significant related party transactions. There were no changes to the contracts discussed in this section and no new significant related party transactions in 2010. The Board of Directors is not required to approve each individual transaction that falls under the related
3
party relationships. However, under the direction of the Board of Directors, at least one member of the Companys senior management team approves each related party transaction.
The Company has a contract with Apple Suites Realty Group (ASRG) to provide brokerage services for the acquisition and disposition of the Companys real estate assets. ASRG is wholly owned by the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Glade M. Knight. 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 plus certain reimbursable costs. As of December 31, 2008, payments to ASRG for services under the terms of this contract have totaled approximately $18.0 million since inception, which were capitalized as a part of the purchase price of the hotels. No fees were incurred during 2010 and 2009 under this contract.
The Company is party to an advisory agreement with ASA to provide management services to the Company. An annual fee ranging from 0.1% to 0.25% of total equity proceeds received by the Company, in addition to certain reimbursable expenses, are payable for these services. Total advisory fees and reimbursable expenses incurred by the Company under the advisory agreement are included in general and administrative expenses and totaled approximately $2.8 million, $3.0 million and $3.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Of this total expense, approximately $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.5 million were paid to ASA and $1.8 million, $2.0 million and $1.9 million were expenses reimbursed (or paid directly to Apple REIT Six, Inc. on behalf of ASA) by ASA to Apple REIT Six, Inc. for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.
The advisors are staffed with personnel of Apple REIT Six, Inc. (AR6). AR6 provides similar staffing for Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (A6A), Apple Eight Advisors, Inc. (A8A), Apple Nine Advisors, Inc. (A9A) and Apple Ten Advisors, Inc. (A10A). A6A, A8A, A9A and A10A provide management services to, respectively, AR6, Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc. and Apple REIT Ten, Inc. Although there is a potential conflict on time allocation of personnel due to the fact that a senior manager, officer or staff member will provide services to more than one company, the Company believes that the executives and staff compensation sharing arrangement allows the companies to share costs yet attract and retain superior executives and staff. The cost sharing structure also allows each entity to maintain a much more cost effective structure than having separate staffing arrangements. Amounts reimbursed to AR6 include both compensation for personnel and overhead (office rent, utilities, benefits, office supplies, etc.) utilized by the companies. The allocation of costs from AR6 is made by the management of the several REITs and is reviewed at least annually by the Compensation Committees of the several REITs. In making the allocation, management and the Compensation Committee, consider all relevant facts related to the Companys level of business activity and the extent to which the Company requires the services of particular personnel of AR6. Such payments are based on the actual cost of the services and are not based on formal record keeping regarding the time these personnel devote to the Company, but are based on a good faith estimate by the individual and/or his or her supervisor of the time devoted by the individual to the Company. As part of this arrangement, the day to day transactions may result in amounts due to or from the noted related parties. To efficiently manage cash disbursements, the individual companies may make payments for any or all of the related companies. The amounts due to or from the related individual companies are reimbursed or collected and are not significant in amount.
Including ASRG, ASA, A6A, A8A, A9A and A10A discussed above, Mr. Knight is also Chairman and CEO of AR6, Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc. and Apple REIT Ten, Inc. Members of the Companys Board of Directors are also on the boards of AR6, Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc. and Apple REIT Ten, Inc.
The Company is a member of Apple Air Holding, LLC (Apple Air) which owns two Lear jets as of December 31, 2010. The other members of Apple Air are Apple REIT Six, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc.

Risk Factors |
The following describes several risk factors which are applicable to the Company.
Hotel Operations
The Companys hotels are subject to all of the risks common to the hotel industry. These risks could adversely affect hotel occupancy and the rates that can be charged for hotel rooms as well as hotel operating expenses, and generally include:
|
|
|
|
|
increases in supply of hotel rooms that exceed increases in demand; |
|
|
|
|
|
increases in energy costs and other travel expenses that reduce business and leisure travel; |
|
|
|
|
|
reduced business and leisure travel due to continued geo-political uncertainty, including terrorism; |
|
|
|
|
|
adverse effects of declines in general and local economic activity; and |
|
|
|
|
|
adverse effects of a downturn in the hotel industry. |
4
General Economic Conditions
Changes in general or local economic or market conditions, increased costs of energy, increased costs of insurance, increased costs of products, increased costs and shortages of labor, competitive factors, fuel shortages, quality of management, the ability of a hotel chain to fulfill any obligations to operators of its hotel business, limited alternative uses for the building, changing consumer habits, condemnation or uninsured losses, changing demographics, changing traffic patterns, inability to remodel outmoded buildings as required by the franchise or lease agreement and other factors beyond the Companys control may reduce the value of properties that the Company owns. As a result, cash available to make distributions to shareholders may be affected.
Current General Economic Slowdown in the Lodging Industry
A recessionary environment, and uncertainty over its depth and duration, continues to have a negative impact on the lodging industry. There is some general consensus among economists that the economy in the United States has emerged from the recessionary environment of 2009, but high unemployment levels and sluggish business and consumer travel trends were evident in 2010; as a result the Company continues to experience reduced revenue as compared to pre-recessionary periods. Accordingly, financial results have been impacted by the economic slowdown, and future financial results and growth could be further harmed until a more expansive national economic environment is prevalent.
Hospitality Industry
The success of the Companys properties will depend largely on the property operators ability to adapt to dominant trends in the hotel industry as well as greater competitive pressures, increased consolidation, industry overbuilding, dependence on consumer spending patterns and changing demographics, the introduction of new concepts and products, availability of labor, price levels and general economic conditions. The success of a particular hotel brand, the ability of a hotel brand to fulfill any obligations to operators of its business, and trends in the hotel industry may affect the Companys income and the funds it has available to distribute to shareholders.
The hospitality industry could also experience a significant decline in occupancy and average daily rates due to a reduction in both business and leisure travel. General economic conditions, increased fuel costs, natural disasters and terrorist attacks are a few factors that could affect an individuals willingness to travel. The Companys property insurance will typically cover losses for property damage due to terrorist attacks or natural disasters (subject to policy deductibles). However, the Company is not insured against the potential negative effect a terrorist attack or natural disaster would have on the hospitality industry as a whole.
Seasonality
The hotel industry is 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 and the Company may need to enter into short-term borrowing in certain periods in order to offset these fluctuations in revenues and to make distributions to shareholders.
Franchise Agreements
The Companys wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries operate all of the properties pursuant to franchise or license agreements with nationally recognized hotel brands. These franchise agreements contain specific standards for, and restrictions and limitations on, the operation and maintenance of the Companys properties in order to maintain uniformity within the franchisor system. These standards could potentially conflict with the Companys ability to create specific business plans tailored to each property and to each market.
Competition
The hotel industry is highly competitive. Each of the Companys hotels is located in a developed area that includes other hotels and competes for guests primarily with other hotels in the Companys immediate vicinity and secondarily with other hotels in the Companys geographic market. An increase in the number of competitive hotels in a particular area could have a material adverse effect on the occupancy, average daily rate (ADR) and revenue per available room (RevPAR) of the Companys hotels in that area. In addition, increases in operating costs due to inflation may not be offset by increased room rates.
Transferability of Shares
There is and will be no public trading market for the common shares and the Series A preferred shares for an indefinite period of time, if ever. Therefore, the Units are and will be highly illiquid and very difficult to trade. In addition, there are restrictions on the transfer of the common shares. In order to qualify as a REIT, the shares must be beneficially owned by 100
5
or more persons and no more than 50% of the value of the issued and outstanding shares may be owned directly or indirectly by five or fewer individuals. Therefore, the Companys bylaws provide that no person may own more than 9.8% of the issued and outstanding Units. Any purported transfer of the shares that would result in a violation of either of these limits will be declared null and void.
Qualification as a REIT
The rules governing a REIT are highly technical and complex. They require ongoing compliance with and interpretation of a variety of tests and regulations that depend on, among other things, future operations. While the Company expects to satisfy these tests, it cannot ensure it will qualify as a REIT for any particular year. There is also the risk that the applicable laws governing a REIT could be changed, which could adversely effect the Company and its shareholders.
Distributions to Shareholders
If the Companys properties do not generate sufficient revenue to meet operating expenses, cash flow and the Companys ability to make distributions to shareholders may be adversely affected. The Company is subject to all operating risks common to hotels. These risks might adversely affect occupancy or room rates. Increases in operating costs due to inflation and other factors may not necessarily be offset by increased room occupancy or rates. The local, regional and national hotel markets may limit the extent to which room rates may be increased to meet increased operating expenses without decreasing occupancy rates. While the Company intends to make distributions to shareholders, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to make distributions at any particular time or rate, or at all. Further, there is no assurance that a distribution rate achieved for a particular period will be maintained in the future. Also, while management may establish goals as to particular rates of distribution or have an intention to make distributions at a particular rate, there can be no assurance that such goals or intentions will be realized.
The Companys objective in setting a distribution rate is to project a rate that will provide consistency over the life of the Company, taking into account acquisitions and capital improvements, ramp up of new properties and varying economic cycles. The Company anticipates that it may need to utilize debt, offering proceeds and cash from operations to meet this objective. The Company evaluates the distribution rate on an ongoing basis and may make changes at any time if the Company feels the rate is not appropriate based on available cash resources.
While the Company generally seeks to make distributions from operating cash flows, distributions may be made (although there is no obligation to do so) in certain circumstances in part from financing proceeds or other sources, such as proceeds from the offering of Units. While distributions from such sources would result in the shareholder receiving cash, the consequences to the shareholder would differ from a distribution from operating cash flows. For example, if financing is the source of a distribution, that financing would have to be repaid, and if proceeds from the offering of Units are distributed, those proceeds would not then be available for other uses (such as property acquisitions or improvements).
Financing Risks
Although the Company anticipates maintaining relatively low levels of debt, it may periodically use short-term financing to perform renovations to its properties or make shareholder distributions in periods of fluctuating income from its properties. The debt markets have been volatile and subject to increased regulation; as a result, the Company may not be able to use debt to meet its cash requirements.
Debt Terms
The line of credit entered into in October 2010 contains financial covenants that could require the loans to be prepaid prior to maturity or restrict the amount and timing of distributions to shareholders. The covenants include a minimum net worth, debt service coverage and fixed charge coverage ratio.

Market For Registrants Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities |
Common Shares
There is currently no established public market in which the Companys common shares are traded. As of December 31, 2010, there were 92,027,980 Units outstanding (each Unit consists of one common share, no par value, and one Series A preferred share). The per share estimated market value of common stock is deemed to be the offering price of the shares, which is currently $11.00 per share. This is supported by the fact that the Company is currently selling shares to the public at a price of $11.00 per share through its Dividend Reinvestment Plan. As of December 31, 2010, the Units were held by approximately 19,800 beneficial shareholders.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
In July 2007, 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 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. As of December 31, 2010, approximately 7.9 million Units, representing $86.5 million in proceeds to the Company, have been issued under the plan since inception.
Unit Redemption Program
Effective in April 2007 the Companys Board of Directors approved a Unit Redemption Program to provide limited interim liquidity to shareholders who have held their Units for at least one year. A shareholder may request redemption of Units for a purchase price equal to 92% of the price paid per Unit if the Units have been owned less than three years, or 100% of the price paid per Unit if the Units have been owned more than three years. 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. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has redeemed approximately 7.0 million Units in the amount of $74.4 million under the program. The redemptions represent 100% of the redemption requests as of the last scheduled redemption date in 2010, which was October 2010. In January 2011, the first scheduled redemption date of 2011, the Company redeemed in accordance with the Unit Redemption Program on a pro-rata basis approximately 63% of the requested redemptions, or a total of $8.0 million. Although the Program allows for up to 5% of the weighted average shares to be redeemed on an annual basis, the Company plans to redeem approximately 3% of weighted average shares. See the Companys complete consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 included in the Companys audited financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for a description of the sources and uses of the Companys cash flows. The following is a summary of redemptions during the fourth quarter of 2010 (no redemptions occurred in November and December):

The maximum number of Units that may be redeemed in any 12 month period is limited to up to five percent (5.0%) of the weighted average number of Units outstanding from the beginning of the 12 month period, subject to the Companys right to change the number of Units to be redeemed. |
Series A Preferred Shares
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 do not have any distribution rights except a priority distribution upon the sale of the Companys assets. The priority distribution (Priority Distribution) will be equal to $11.00 per Series A preferred share, and will be paid before any distribution will be made to
10
the holders of any other shares. Upon the Priority Distribution, the Series A preferred shares will have no other distribution rights.
Series B Convertible Preferred Shares
In May 2005 the Company issued 240,000 Series B convertible preferred shares to Glade M. Knight, the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. 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, each 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 common shares upon and for 180 days following the occurrence of any of the following events: (1) substantially all of the Companys assets, stock or business is sold or transferred 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 termination or expiration without renewal of the advisory agreement with Apple Seven Advisors, Inc., or if the company ceases to use Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. to provide property acquisition and disposition services; or (3) the Companys common shares are listed on any securities exchange or quotation system or in any established market.
Preferred Shares
The Companys articles of incorporation authorize issuance of up to 15 million additional preferred shares. No preferred shares other than the Series A preferred shares and the Series B convertible preferred shares (discussed above) have been issued. The Company believes that the authorization to issue additional preferred shares benefits the Company and its shareholders by permitting flexibility in financing additional growth, giving the Company additional financing options in corporate planning and in responding to developments in business, including financing of additional acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. Having authorized preferred shares available for issuance in the future gives the Company the ability to respond to future developments and allows preferred shares to be issued without the expense and delay of a special shareholders meeting. At present, the Company has no specific financing or acquisition plans involving the issuance of additional preferred shares and the Company does not propose to fix the characteristics of any series of preferred shares in anticipation of issuing preferred shares other than the Series A preferred shares and Series B convertible preferred shares discussed above. The Company cannot now predict whether or to what extent, if any, additional preferred shares will be used or if so used what the characteristics of a particular series may be. The voting rights and rights to distributions of the holders of common shares will be subject to the prior rights of the holders of any subsequently-issued preferred shares. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, the preferred shares would be issuable without further authorization by holders of the common shares and on such terms and for such consideration as may be determined by the Board of Directors. The preferred shares could be issued in one or more series having varying voting rights, redemption and conversion features, distribution (including liquidating distribution) rights and preferences, and other rights, including rights of approval of specified transactions. A series of preferred shares could be given rights that are superior to rights of holders of common shares and a series having preferential distribution rights could limit common share distributions and reduce the amount holders of common shares would otherwise receive on dissolution.
Distribution Policy
To maintain its REIT status the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its ordinary income. Distributions totaled $71.3 million in 2010, $75.4 million in 2009, and $81.4 million in 2008. Distributions from May 2009 through December 2010 were paid monthly at a rate of $0.064167 per common share. Prior to the May 2009 distribution, distributions were paid monthly at a rate of $0.073334 per common share. The timing and amount of distributions to shareholders are within the discretion of the Companys Board of Directors. The amount and frequency of future distributions will depend on the Companys results of operations, cash flow from operations, economic conditions, working capital requirements, cash requirements to fund investing and financing activities, capital expenditure requirements, including improvements to and expansions of properties and the acquisition of additional properties, as well as the distribution requirements under federal income tax provisions for qualification as a REIT. The Companys line of credit loan agreement limits distributions to $84 million annually, unless the Company is required to distribute more to meet REIT requirements.

Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan and Incentive Plan
The Companys Board of Directors has adopted and the Companys shareholders have approved a Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan and an Incentive Plan. The options issued under each plan convert upon exercise to Units. Each Unit consists of one common share and one Series A preferred share of the Company. As of December 31, 2010, options to purchase 294,494 Units were outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $11 per Unit under the Directors Plan. No options have been issued under the Incentive Plan. The following is a summary of securities issued under the plans as of December 31, 2010:

Funds from operations (FFO) is defined as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles - GAAP) excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization. Modified funds from operations (MFFO) excludes any gain or loss from the settlement of a contingency. The Company considers FFO and MFFO in evaluating property acquisitions and its operating performance and believes that FFO and MFFO should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash flows as a measure of the Companys activities in accordance with GAAP. The Company considers FFO and MFFO as supplemental measures of operating performance in the real estate industry, and along with the other financial measures included in this Form 10-K, including net income, cash flow from operating activities, financing activities and investing activities, they provide investors with an indication of the performance of the Company. The Companys definition of FFO and MFFO are not necessarily the same as such terms that are used by other companies. FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. |

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
This Annual 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, 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 this Annual 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 and Item 1A.
General
The Company was initially capitalized on May 26, 2005, with its first investor closing on March 15, 2006. The Company owned 51 hotels as of December 31, 2010, located 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 April 27, 2006. An additional 17 hotels were purchased during 2006, 26 hotels were purchased during 2007, and seven hotels were acquired in 2008. Accordingly, the results of operations include only the results of operations of the hotels for the period owned. Exclusive of interest income, the Company had no operating revenues before the first hotel acquisition in April 2006.
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 local markets, in general, has met the Companys expectations for the period owned. With the significant decline in economic conditions throughout the United States, overall performance of the Companys hotels has not met expectations. The hotel industry and the Company showed improvement in revenue and net income in 2010 as compared to 2009. Although still below pre-recessionary levels, the company anticipates continued revenue growth in 2011 as compared to 2010. 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 (ADR), revenue per available room (RevPAR), and Market Yield which compares an individual hotels results to other hotels in its local market, and expenses, such as hotel operating expenses, general and administrative and other expenses described below.
As noted above, the Company owned 51 hotel properties at December 31, 2010 (consisting of 6,426 total rooms). The following is a summary of results for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

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 was approximately $18.0 million, as a commission to Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. (ASRG). ASRG is 100% owned by the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Glade M. Knight.
With the exception of assumed mortgage loans on some of its hotel properties, substantially all of the purchase price of the hotels was funded by the Companys best-efforts offering of Units, which concluded in July 2007. The following table summarizes the hotel, interest rate, maturity date, principal amount assumed associated with each mortgage, and outstanding principal balance as of December 31, 2010. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

Management and Franchise Agreements
Each of the Companys 51 hotels are operated and managed, under separate management agreements, by affiliates of one of the following companies: Marriott International, Inc. (Marriott), Hilton Worldwide (Hilton), Western International (Western), Larry Blumberg & Associates (LBA), Dimension Development Company (Dimension), White Lodging Services Corporation (WLS), or Inn Ventures, Inc. (Inn Ventures). The agreements provide for initial terms ranging from one to twenty years. Fees associated with the agreements generally include the payment of base management fees, incentive management fees, accounting fees, and other fees for centralized services which are allocated among all of the hotels that receive the benefit of such services. Base management fees are calculated as a percentage of gross revenues. Incentive management fees are calculated as a percentage of operating profit in excess of a priority return to the Company, as defined in the management agreements. The Company has the option to terminate the management agreements if specified performance thresholds are not satisfied. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 the Company incurred approximately $6.6 million, $6.1 million and $7.4 million, respectively, in management fees.
Western, LBA, WLS, Dimension and Inn Ventures are not affiliated with either Marriott or Hilton, and as a result, the hotels they manage (as well as the two hotels managed by Promus Hotels, Inc., which is an affiliate of Hilton) were required to obtain separate franchise agreements with each respective franchisor. The Hilton franchise agreements provide for initial
16
terms ranging between 10 to 20 years. Fees associated with the Hilton agreements generally include the payment of royalty fees and program fees based on room revenues. The Marriott franchise agreements provide for an initial term of between six and 20 years. Fees associated with the Marriott agreements include the payment of royalty fees, marketing fees, reservation fees and a communications support fee based on room revenues. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 the Company incurred approximately $8.2 million, $7.8 million and $8.3 million, respectively, in franchise fees.
Results of Operations for Years 2010 and 2009
As of December 31, 2010 the Company owned 51 hotels with 6,426 rooms. The Companys portfolio of hotels owned is unchanged since December 31, 2008. Hotel performance is impacted by many factors including the economic conditions in the United States, as well as each locality. During the past two years, the overall weakness in the U.S. economy has had a considerable negative impact on both leisure and business travel. As a result, revenue in most markets in the United States has declined from 2007 and 2008 levels. Economic conditions stabilized and showed modest growth in 2010 as compared to 2009 throughout the United States, which led to the Companys improved revenue and net income in 2010 as compared to 2009. Although the Company expects continued improvement in 2011, it is not anticipated revenue and net income will reach pre-recessionary levels. The Companys hotels in general have shown results consistent with industry and brand averages for the period of ownership.
Revenues
The Companys principal source of revenue is hotel room revenue and other related revenue for the Companys 51 hotels owned during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company had room revenue and other revenue of $181.2 million and $19.4 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the hotels achieved average occupancy of 71%, ADR of $108 and RevPAR of $77. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company had room revenue and other revenue of $174.0 million and $17.7 million, respectively. The hotels achieved average occupancy during the year ended December 31, 2009 of 67%, ADR of $111 and RevPAR of $74. 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, given the Companys portfolio of hotels and the markets where the Companys hotels are located. Since the beginning of 2010 the Company has experienced an increase in demand, as shown by the improved occupancy rates in comparison to 2009. In addition to a stabilizing economy, this improvement is a result of reduced room rates as reflected in the ADR decline in 2010 from comparable 2009 results. However, as reflected in the fourth quarter of 2010 ADR ($106) as compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 ($106), the Company believes room rate has stabilized and will improve in 2011. With demand improvement and expected rate improvement, the Company and industry anticipate percentage revenue growth in 2011 in the mid single digits, as compared to 2010. While reflecting the impact of recessionary to low-growth levels of economic activity in 2009 and 2010, the Companys hotels continue to be leaders in their respective markets. The Companys average Market Yield for 2010 and 2009 was 125 and 123, respectively. The Market Yield is a measure of each hotels RevPAR compared to the average (100) in its local market (the index excludes hotels under renovations).
Expenses
For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, hotel operating expenses totaled $116.9 million and $114.0 million, respectively, representing 58% of total revenue for 2010 and 59% of total hotel revenue for 2009. Hotel operating expenses include direct operational expenses, hotel administrative expense, sales and marketing expense, utilities expense, repair and maintenance expense, franchise fees and management fees. Hotel operational expenses for 2010 reflect the impact of modest increases in revenues and occupancy at most of the Companys hotels, and the Companys efforts to control costs in a challenging and relatively flat to low-growth economic environment during 2010. Certain operating costs such as management costs, certain utility costs and minimum supply and maintenance costs are relatively fixed in nature. The Company has been successful in reducing relative to revenue increases in certain labor costs, hotel supply costs and utility costs by continually monitoring and sharing utilization data across its hotels and management companies. Although operating expenses will increase as occupancy and revenue increases, the Company has and will continue to work with its management companies to reduce costs as a percentage of revenue as aggressively as possible while maintaining quality and service levels at each property.
Taxes, insurance, and other expenses for the period ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $12.2 and $13.7 million, or 6% and 7% of total revenue for each respective period. Decreases in these expenses for 2010 versus the prior year reflect lower real estate property tax assessments at selected hotels, including the results of successful appeals of initial assessments for several locations. In addition, the Company experienced slightly lower property insurance expense for most hotel properties, in comparison to insurance rates in effect during 2009. Primarily due to the success of real estate assessment appeals during 2010, the Company anticipates 2011 property tax and insurance expense to be similar to 2010.
17
General and administrative expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $5.2 and $4.6 million, or 3% and 2% of total revenue for each respective period. The components of general and administrative expense include advisory fees, legal fees, accounting fees, reporting expenses and the Companys share of the loss from its investment in Apple Air Holding, LLC. The 2010 increase is primarily due to an approximately $0.45 million loss related to Apple Airs contract to trade-in its two jets for one new jet. As a public company, the Company is subject to various regulatory oversight. In 2010 the Company incurred approximately $0.5 million in legal and related costs responding to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $33.2 and $32.4 million, respectively. Depreciation expense represents the expense of the Companys hotels and related personal property (furniture, fixtures and equipment) for their respective periods owned.
Interest expense, net of interest income, for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $7.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively. Interest expense primarily arose from mortgage debt assumed with the acquisition of ten of the Companys hotels, in addition to interest on borrowings under the Companys unsecured credit facilities during 2010 and 2009. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had mortgage debt outstanding of $101.2 million, representing mortgage loans outstanding on ten of the Companys 51 hotel properties and associated fair value adjustments. The Company also had borrowings outstanding of $44.9 million at December 31, 2010 under its unsecured revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2009 the Company had unsecured credit facility borrowings outstanding of $11.5 million. The increase from prior year levels of outstanding unsecured borrowings at December 31, 2010, and the related increase in interest expense for 2010 in comparison to 2009, arises from the Companys increased use of unsecured borrowings to fund working capital needs, while maintaining a relatively stable distribution rate to Unit holders during a recessionary to low-growth economic period. Interest expense for 2009 is net of capitalized interest of approximately $0.4 million associated with several significant capital renovations; interest capitalized during 2010 was not significant.
Gain from settlement of contingency
The Company recorded other income of $3.1 million in November 2010 arising from the de-recognition of a liability for taxes, previously assessed by the Broad Street Community Development Authority of Richmond, VA (CDA). Upon the Companys purchase in January 2008 of the full service Marriott hotel in Richmond, VA (MRV), the Company assumed all remaining obligations of the MRV under a multi-year minimum tax assessment on hotels operating within the CDAs jurisdiction. The MRV was obligated for minimum annual tax payments to the CDA of $257 thousand, which related to the 2003 issuance by the CDA of tax-exempt revenue bonds with maturities extending through 2033. Annual tax payments to the CDA were effective through the earlier of a) a period extending through 2033, or b) payment or defeasance in full of all applicable CDA revenue bonds. In November 2010, the CDA provided for the defeasance or redemption of all applicable CDA revenue bonds. Accordingly, the CDA announced that assessments and collections of the prior tax have ceased as of November 2010. The Companys net present value of the previously required minimum annual tax assessments, originally projected to extend through 2033, was $3.1 million at the date of the CDAs bond defeasance and redemption in November 2010. The impact of the de-recognition of the liability to the Companys net income per common share (basic and diluted) was $0.03, recorded in the fourth quarter of 2010. The de-recognition was a non-cash transaction and had no impact on the Companys net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Results of Operations for Years 2009 and 2008
Revenues
For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company had room revenue and other revenue of $174.0 million and $17.7 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the hotels achieved average occupancy of 67%, ADR of $111 and RevPAR of $74. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had room revenue and other revenue of $195.4 million and $18.9 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the hotels achieved average occupancy of 71%, ADR of $120 and RevPAR of $86. These revenues reflect hotel operations for the 51 hotels acquired through December 31, 2009 and 2008 for their respective periods of ownership by the Company, seven of which were purchased during 2008. The Companys occupancy and room rates in 2009 and 2008 were consistent with industry and brand averages, given the Companys portfolio of hotels and the markets where the Companys hotels are located. However, because overall hotel room demand declined and general U.S. economic conditions (including business and consumer travel) weakened in 2009, the Companys revenue at most individual hotels experienced declines during 2009 as compared to 2008 results.

Expenses
Expenses for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 represent the expenses related to the 51 hotels acquired through December 31, 2009 for their respective periods owned; seven of the Companys 51 hotels were purchased during 2008.
For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, hotel operating expenses totaled $114.0 million and $124.6 million, respectively, representing 59% of total revenue for 2009 and 58% of total hotel revenue for 2008. Hotel operational expenses for 2009 reflect the impact of declining revenues at most of the Companys hotels, and the Companys efforts to control costs in such an economic environment. However, certain operating costs are relatively fixed in nature, and cannot be curtailed or eliminated. This resulted in an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of gross revenues, in comparison to 2008.
Hotel operational expenses in 2008 were impacted by the Companys acquisition, in January 2008, of the 410 room full-service Marriott hotel in Richmond, Virginia. At the time of purchase, the Company implemented a change from the predecessor owners hotel management company to White Lodging Services Corporation. The Company incurred hotel staff recruiting, training, travel and relocation costs associated with the installation of the new management company and related personnel resources at the MRV. In addition, expenditures for non-capitalized items associated with improving the hotels rooms, restaurant, and overall service levels, and addressing deferred maintenance and repair, were incurred. These transition costs associated with the MRV hotel, incurred during 2008, were approximately $1.1 million.
Taxes, insurance, and other expenses for the period ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $13.7 and $13.6 million, or 7% and 6% of total revenue for each respective period. Increases in these expenses for 2009 versus the prior year reflect higher real estate and personal property tax assessments at selected hotels, including some of the Companys hotels that were newly constructed during 2007 and 2008.
General and administrative expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $4.6 and $5.9 million, or 2% and 3% of total revenue for each respective period. Reduction in this expense for 2009, as compared to the prior year, reflects a reduction (from 50% to 26% in January 2009) in the Companys investment in Apple Air Holding, LLC. The Company recorded a loss in 2009 of approximately $0.5 million, and a loss in 2008 of approximately $1.0 million in its investment, primarily due to depreciation expense on the two aircraft owned by the entity during this time period. Additionally, the Companys advisory fees declined by $0.5 million in 2009, compared to 2008, due to lower earnings.
Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $32.4 and $28.4 million, respectively. Depreciation expense represents the expense of the Companys hotels and related personal property (furniture, fixtures and equipment) for their respective periods owned. The increase reflects additional acquisitions in 2008, in addition to capital expenditures in both 2009 and 2008.
Interest expense for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $6.4 million and $5.7 million, respectively. Interest expense primarily arose from mortgage debt assumed with the acquisition of ten of the Companys hotels, in addition to interest on borrowings under an unsecured line of credit facility originated in April 2009. Interest expense is net of capitalized interest, of approximately $0.4 million in 2009 and $1.0 million in 2008, associated with several significant capital renovations during each year. During 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized $0.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, in interest income, representing interest on excess cash invested in short-term money market instruments. Interest income earned by the Company declined as cash raised from the Companys Unit offering was utilized for the purchase of seven hotel properties in 2008, and for the renovation of several hotel locations during both 2008 and 2009.
Related Party Transactions
The Company has, and is expected to continue to engage in, 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 Companys independent members of the Board of Directors oversee and annually review the Companys related party relationships (which include the relationships discussed in this section) and are required to approve any significant modifications to these contracts, as well as any new significant related party transactions. There were no changes to the contracts discussed in this section and no new significant related party transactions during 2010. The Board of Directors is not required to approve each individual transaction that falls under a related party relationship, however under the direction of the Board of Directors, at least one member of the Companys senior management team approves each related party transaction.
The Company has a contract with ASRG, a related party, 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 2% of the gross
19
purchase price of any acquisitions or gross sale price of any dispositions of real estate investments, subject to certain conditions plus certain reimbursable costs. Payments to ASRG for services under the terms of this contract have totaled approximately $18.0 million since inception, which were capitalized as a part of the purchase price of the hotels. No fees were incurred under this contract during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
The Company is party to an advisory agreement with ASA to provide management services to the Company. An annual fee ranging from 0.1% to 0.25% of total equity proceeds received by the Company, in addition to certain reimbursable expenses, are payable for these services. Total advisory fees and reimbursable expenses incurred by the Company under the advisory agreement are included in general and administrative expenses and totaled approximately $2.8 million, $3.0 million and $3.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Of this total expense, approximately $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.5 million were paid to ASA and $1.8 million, $2.0 million and $1.9 million were expenses reimbursed (or paid directly to Apple REIT Six, Inc. on behalf of ASA) by ASA to Apple REIT Six, Inc. for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.
The advisors are staffed with personnel of Apple REIT Six, Inc. (AR6). AR6 provides similar staffing for Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (A6A), Apple Eight Advisors, Inc. (A8A), Apple Nine Advisors, Inc. (A9A) and Apple Ten Advisors, Inc. (A10A). A6A, A8A, A9A and A10A provide management services to, respectively, AR6, Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc. and Apple REIT Ten, Inc. Although there is a potential conflict on time allocation of personnel due to the fact that a senior manager, officer or staff member will provide services to more than one company, the Company believes that the executives and staff compensation sharing arrangement allows the companies to share costs yet attract and retain superior executives and staff. The cost sharing structure also allows each entity to maintain a much more cost effective structure than having separate staffing arrangements. Amounts reimbursed to AR6 include both compensation for personnel and overhead (office rent, utilities, benefits, office supplies, etc.) utilized by the companies. The allocation of costs from AR6 is made by the management of the several REITs and is reviewed at least annually by the Compensation Committees of the several REITs. In making the allocation, management and the Compensation Committee, consider all relevant facts related to the Companys level of business activity and the extent to which the Company requires the services of particular personnel of AR6. Such payments are based on the actual cost of the services and are not based on formal record keeping regarding the time these personnel devote to the Company, but are based on a good faith estimate by the individual and/or his or her supervisor of the time devoted by the individual to the Company. As part of this arrangement, the day to day transactions may result in amounts due to or from the noted related parties. To efficiently manage cash disbursements, the individual companies may make payments for any or all of the related companies. The amounts due to or from the related individual companies are reimbursed or collected and are not significant in amount.
The Company has a partial ownership interest in Apple Air Holdings, LLC (Apple Air). A 50% interest was originally purchased by the Company for approximately $7.5 million in 2007 to allow the Company access to two corporate Lear jets for asset management and hotel renovation purposes. In January 2009, the Companys ownership interest in 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, which approximated the Companys carrying value of the 24% ownership interest at the date of redemption. No gain or loss from the redemption was recognized by the Company. The Companys ownership interest in Apple Air is included in other assets, net on the Companys consolidated balance sheet, and was approximately $2.0 million and $2.8 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The other members of Apple Air are Apple REIT Six, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc. The Company records its share of income or loss of the entity under the equity method of accounting, adjusting its investment in Apple Air accordingly. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $0.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The loss relates primarily to the depreciation of aircraft owned by Apple Air and in 2010 $0.4 million related to the reduction in basis of the two jets due to the planned trade-in for one new jet.
Including ASRG, ASA, A6A, A8A, A9A and A10A discussed above, Mr. Knight is also Chairman and CEO of Apple REIT Six, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc. and Apple REIT Ten, Inc. Members of the Companys Board of Directors are also on the boards of Apple REIT Six, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc. and Apple REIT Ten, Inc.
The Company has issued 240,000 Series B convertible preferred shares to Glade M. Knight, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in exchange for the payment by him of $0.10 per Series B convertible preferred share, or an aggregate of $24,000. The Series B convertible preferred shares are convertible into common shares pursuant to the formula and on the terms and conditions set forth below.
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.
20
Upon the Companys liquidation, the holder of the Series B convertible preferred shares is entitled to a priority liquidation payment before any distribution of liquidation proceeds to the 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. The holder of a Series B convertible preferred share is entitled to a liquidation payment of $11 per number of common shares each Series B convertible preferred share would be convertible into according to the formula described below. 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.
Each holder of outstanding Series B convertible preferred shares shall have the right to convert any of such shares into common shares of the Company upon and for 180 days following the occurrence of any of the following events:
|
|
|
(1) substantially all of the Companys assets, stock or business is sold or transferred through exchange, merger, consolidation, lease, share exchange, sale or otherwise, other than a sale of assets in liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; |
|
|
|
(2) the termination or expiration without renewal of the advisory agreement with ASA, or if the Company ceases to use ASRG to provide property acquisition and disposition services; or |
|
|
|
(3) the Companys common shares are listed on any securities exchange or quotation system or in any established market. |
Upon the occurrence of any conversion event, each Series B convertible preferred share may be converted into 24.17104 common shares. In the event the Company raises additional gross proceeds in a subsequent public offering, each Series B convertible preferred share may be converted into an additional number of common shares based on the additional gross proceeds raised through the date of conversion in a subsequent public offering according to the following formula: (X/50 million) x 1.20568, where X is the additional gross proceeds rounded down to the nearest 50 million.
No additional consideration is due upon the conversion of the Series B convertible preferred shares. The conversion into common shares of the Series B convertible preferred shares will result in dilution of the shareholders interests.
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 occurs. 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. If a conversion event had occurred at December 31, 2010, expense would have ranged from $0 to $63.8 million (assumes $11 per common share fair market value) which represents approximately 5.8 million shares of common stock.

Capital Requirements and Resources
In October 2010, the Company entered into a new unsecured revolving credit facility, to be utilized for working capital, hotel renovations and other general corporate funding purposes including the payment of redemptions and distributions. The syndicated credit facility provides for a maximum aggregate commitment by the lenders, three commercial banks, of $85 million, and has a scheduled maturity in October 2012. The applicable interest rate under the unsecured revolving credit facility is, at the Companys option, equal to a) LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate for a one-month term) plus 3.5%, subject to a minimum LIBOR interest rate floor of 1.5%, or b) the banks commercial prime rate plus 3.5%. The Companys prior line of credit facility was extinguished upon implementation of the new credit facility. With the availability of the
21
Companys current and prior credit facilities, the Company maintains little cash on hand, accessing its credit facility as necessary. As a result, cash balances totaled $0 at December 31, 2010 and 2009. The outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2010 was $44.9 million and its annual interest rate was 5.0%. The loan has quarterly financial covenants which the Company was in compliance with at December 31, 2010. The Company anticipates that cash flow from operations and its current revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet its anticipated liquidity requirements in 2011, including capital expenditures, debt service and required distributions to shareholders (the Company is not required to make distributions at its current rate for REIT purposes). The Company intends to maintain a relatively stable distribution rate instead of raising and lowering the distribution rate with varying economic cycles. Should financial results of the Company and the lodging industry remain depressed compared to pre-recessionary levels, the Company may utilize additional financing to achieve this objective. Although the Company has relatively low levels of debt, there can be no assurances it will be successful with this strategy and may need to reduce its distribution to required levels. If the Company was unsuccessful in extending its maturing debt in future periods or if it were to default on its debt, it may be unable to make distributions. The Companys bylaws require board review and approval of any debt financing obtained by the Company.
To maintain its REIT status the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its ordinary income. The Companys objective in setting a distribution rate is to project a rate that will provide consistency over the life of the Company, taking into account acquisitions, capital improvements, ramp-up of new properties and varying economic cycles. Distributions in 2010 totaled $71.3 million and were paid monthly at a rate of $0.064167 per common share. Total 2010 dividends paid equaled $0.77 per common share and included a return of capital. For the same period the Companys cash generated from operations was approximately $59.9 million. As a result, the difference between distributions paid and cash generated from operations has been funded primarily from borrowings under its unsecured credit facilities. This portion of distributions is expected to be treated as a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. Since a portion of distributions has been funded with borrowed funds, the Companys ability to maintain its current intended rate of distribution will be primarily based on the ability of the Companys properties to generate cash from operations at this level, the Companys ability to utilize currently available financing, or the Companys ability to obtain additional financing until general economic conditions improve. Since there can be no assurance of the Companys ability to obtain additional financing or that the properties owned by the Company will provide income at this level, there can be no assurance as to the classification or duration of distributions at the current rate. Additionally, the Board of Directors monitors the Companys distribution rate relative to the performance of the hotels on an ongoing basis and may make additional adjustments to the distribution rate as determined to be prudent in relation to other cash requirements of the Company. Effective with the common stock dividend paid in May 2009, the Companys annual dividend distribution rate was reduced to $0.77 per share (or $0.064167 monthly per share) from the prior $0.88 annual distribution rate per share (or $0.073334 monthly per share).
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 between 2% to 5% of gross revenues of the applicable hotel, provided that such amount may be used for the Companys capital expenditures with respect to the applicable hotel. 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. Also, as of December 31, 2010, the Company held $6.3 million in reserve for capital expenditures. The Company completed one major hotel renovation in 2010 and at December 31, 2010, the Company had two major hotel renovations in progress, which are expected to be completed during the first six months of 2011. Total capital expenditures in 2010 were approximately $3.1 million. Due to the work done on the properties when acquired and the depressed economic environment, the Companys investment was lower than 2009 and lower than anticipated in 2011. The Company anticipates 2011 capital improvements to increase and be in the range of approximately $10 to $15 million.
The Companys Board of Directors has approved the Unit Redemption Program to provide limited interim liquidity to its shareholders who have held their Units for at least one year; the program was initiated in April 2007. Shareholders may request redemption of Units for a purchase price equal to 92% of the price paid per Unit if the Units have been owned less than three years, or 100% of the price paid per Unit if the Units have been owned more than three years. 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. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has redeemed approximately 7.0 million Units in the amount of $74.4 million under the program, including approximately 3.7 million Units redeemed for $40.7 million in 2010, 2.4 million Units redeemed for $24.8 million in 2009, and 729,000 Units redeemed for $7.5 million in 2008.
In July 2007 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 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. As of December 31, 2010, approximately 7.9 million
22
Units, representing $86.5 million in proceeds to the Company, have been issued under the plan, including approximately 2.2 million Units issued in 2010 for $24.6 million, 2.4 million Units issued in 2009 for $25.9 million, and 2.5 million Units issued in 2008 for $28.0 million.
Subsequent Events
In January 2011, the Company declared and paid $5.9 million or $0.064167 per common share, in a distribution to its common shareholders. Under the Companys Dividend Reinvestment Plan, $2.0 million were reinvested, resulting in the issuance of 184,047 Units.
In January 2011, under the guidelines of the Companys Unit Redemption Program, 728,135 Units were repurchased from shareholders at a cost of $8.0 million. As contemplated in the Program, the Company redeemed Units on a pro-rata basis. This redemption was approximately 63% of the requested redemption amount.
In February 2011, the Company declared and paid $5.9 million or $0.064167 per common share, in a distribution to its common shareholders. Under the Companys Dividend Reinvestment Plan, $2.1 million were reinvested, resulting in the issuance of 187,137 Units.
On February 28, 2011, the Company entered into a term loan agreement, secured by the Companys Houston, TX Residence Inn property, for $10.5 million. The loan has a stated maturity of five years, at an annual interest rate of 5.71%, and has scheduled payments of interest and principal due monthly. Funds from the loan were used for general corporate purposes, including the reduction in the outstanding balance of the Companys revolving credit facility.
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 on both a local and national scale. 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. Seasonal variations in occupancy at the Companys 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 and credit availability to make distributions.
Critical Accounting Policies
The following contains a discussion of what the Company believes to be critical accounting policies. These items should be read to gain a further understanding of the principles used to prepare the Companys financial statements. These principles include application of judgment; therefore, changes in judgments may have a significant impact on the Companys reported results of operations and financial condition.
Capitalization Policy
The Company considers expenditures to be capital in nature based on the following criteria: (1) for a single asset, the cost must be at least $500, including all normal and necessary costs to place the asset in service, and the useful life must be at least one year; (2) for group purchases of 10 or more identical assets, the unit cost for each asset must be at least $50, including all normal and necessary costs to place the asset in service, and the useful life must be at least one year; and (3) for major repairs to a single asset, the repair must be at least $2,500 and the useful life of the asset must be substantially extended.
Impairment Losses Policy
The Company records impairment losses on hotel properties used in operations if indicators of impairment are present, and the sum of the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the respective properties, based on historical and
23
industry data, is less than the properties carrying amount. Indicators of impairment include a property with current or potential losses from operations, when it becomes more likely than not that a property will be sold before the end of its previously estimated useful life or when events, trends, contingencies or changes in circumstances indicate that a triggering event has occurred and an assets carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are measured as the difference between the assets fair value and its carrying value. No impairment losses have been recorded to date.
Recently Adopted or Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a pronouncement (Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-17) 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 was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
The Company does not engage in transactions in derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. As of December 31, 2010, the Companys financial instruments were not exposed to significant market risk due to foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk. The Company will be exposed to interest rate risk due to possible changes in short term interest rates as it invests its cash or borrows on its line of credit. The Company had an outstanding balance of $44.9 million on its $85 million revolving credit facility at December 31, 2010, and to the extent it utilizes the credit facility, the Company will be exposed to changes in short term interest rates. Based on the outstanding balance at December 31, 2010, every 100 basis point change in interest rates can potentially impact the Companys annual net income by $449 thousand, subject to conditions of the interest rate floor provisions of the credit facility, and with all other factors remaining the same. The Companys cash balance at December 31, 2010 was not material.
In addition to its $44.9 million outstanding balance under its credit facility at December 31, 2010, which is due in 2012 and included in the table below, the Company has also assumed fixed interest rate notes payable to lenders under permanent financing arrangements. The following table summarizes the annual maturities and average interest rates of the Companys variable rate and fixed rate notes payable outstanding at December 31, 2010.

Report of Management
on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
March 8, 2011
To the Shareholders
Apple REIT Seven, Inc.
Management of Apple REIT Seven, Inc. (the Company) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. As defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of the Companys principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Companys Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The Companys internal control over financial reporting is supported by written policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the Companys transactions and dispositions of the Companys assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Companys management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In connection with the preparation of the Companys annual consolidated financial statements, management has undertaken an assessment of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO Framework). Managements assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Companys internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls.
Based on this assessment, management has concluded that as of December 31, 2010, the Companys internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Companys consolidated financial statements included in this report, has issued an attestation report on the Companys internal control over financial reporting, a copy of which appears on the next page of this annual report.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1
General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Apple REIT Seven, Inc. (the Company) is a Virginia corporation formed to invest in real estate in select metropolitan areas in the United States. Initial capitalization occurred on May 26, 2005 and operations began on April 27, 2006 when the Company acquired its first hotel. The Company has no foreign operations or assets and its operations include 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.
The Company has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes. The REIT Modernization Act, effective January 1, 2001, permits real estate investment trusts to establish taxable businesses to conduct certain previously disallowed business activities. The Company has formed wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries (collectively, the Lessee), which lease all of the Companys hotels.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The fair market value of cash and cash equivalents approximates their carrying value. Balances held may at times exceed federal depository insurance limits.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes reserves for debt service, real estate taxes, and insurance, as well as excess cash flow deposits and reserves for furniture, fixtures, and equipment replacements of up to 5% of property revenue for certain hotels, as required by certain management or mortgage debt agreement restrictions and provisions.
Investment in Real Estate and Related Depreciation
The hotels are stated at cost, net of depreciation, and include real estate brokerage commissions paid to Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. (ASRG), a related party 100% owned by Glade M. Knight, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred while significant improvements, renovations, and replacements are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 39 years for buildings, ten years for major improvements and three to seven years for furniture, fixtures and equipment.
The Company considers expenditures to be capital in nature based on the following criteria: (1) for a single asset, the cost must be at least $500, including all normal and necessary costs to place the asset in service, and the useful life must be at least one year; (2) for group purchases of 10 or more identical assets, the unit cost for each asset must be at least $50, including all normal and necessary costs to place the asset in service, and the useful life must be at least one year; and (3) for major repairs to a single asset, the repair must be at least $2,500 and the useful life of the asset must be substantially extended.
The Company records impairment losses on hotel properties used in operations if indicators of impairment are present, and the sum of the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the respective properties, based on historical and industry data, is less than the properties carrying amount. Indicators of impairment include a property with current or potential losses from operations, when it becomes more likely than not that a property will be sold before the end of its previously estimated useful life or when events, trends, contingencies or changes in circumstances indicate that a triggering event has occurred and an assets carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are measured as the difference between the assets fair value and its carrying value. No impairment losses have been recorded to date.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized as earned, which is generally defined as the date upon which a guest occupies a room or utilizes the hotels services.
Comprehensive Income
The Company recorded no comprehensive income other than net income during the periods reported.
32
Earnings and Cash Distributions 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 were no dilutive shares outstanding at December 31, 2010, 2009 or 2008. As a result, basic and dilutive outstanding shares were the same. Series B convertible preferred shares are not included in earnings per common share calculations until such time the Series B convertible preferred shares are converted to common shares.
The Companys annual cash distribution rate as of December 31, 2010 is $0.77 per common share. For the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 the Company made cash distributions of $0.77 and $0.81 per common share, for a total of $71.3 million and $75.4 million, respectively.
Federal Income Taxes
The Company is operated as, and has elected to be taxed as, a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. Earnings and profits, which will determine the taxability of distributions to shareholders, will differ from income reported for financial reporting purposes primarily due to the differences for federal income tax purposes in the estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation. The characterization of 2010 distributions of $0.77 per share for tax purposes was 51% ordinary income and 49% return of capital (unaudited). The characterization of 2009 distributions of $0.81 per share for tax purposes was 47% ordinary income and 53% return of capital (unaudited). The characterization of 2008 distributions of $0.88 per share for tax purposes was 56% ordinary income and 44% return of capital (unaudited).
The Lessee, as a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Company, is subject to federal and state income taxes. The taxable REIT subsidiary incurred a loss for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, and therefore did not have any federal tax expense. No operating loss benefit has been recorded in the consolidated balance sheet since realization is uncertain. Total net operating loss carry forward for federal income tax purposes was approximately $22 million as of December, 31, 2010. The net operating loss carry forwards will expire beginning in 2026. There are no material differences between the book and tax cost basis of the Companys assets.
As of December 31, 2010, the tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions generally include 2007 2010.
Sales and Marketing Costs
Sales and marketing costs are expensed when incurred. These costs represent the expense for franchise advertising and reservation systems under the terms of the hotel management and franchise agreements and general and administrative expenses that are directly attributable to advertising and promotion.
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.
Recently Adopted or Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a pronouncement (Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-17) 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 was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

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 Unit offering to pay 2% of the gross purchase price for these hotels, which equaled approximately $18.0 million, as a commission to ASRG.
No goodwill was recorded in connection with any of the acquisitions.
Note 3
Notes Payable and Credit Agreements
In October 2010, the Company entered into a new unsecured revolving credit facility, to be utilized for working capital, hotel renovations, and other general corporate funding purposes, including the payment of redemptions and dividends. The syndicated credit facility provides for a maximum aggregate commitment by the lenders, three commercial banks, of $85 million, and has a scheduled maturity in October 2012. The applicable interest rate under the unsecured revolving credit facility is, at the Companys option, equal to either a) LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate for a one-month term) plus 3.5%, subject to a minimum LIBOR interest rate floor of 1.5%, or b) the banks commercial prime rate plus 3.5%. The applicable LIBOR rate was approximately 0.26% at December 31, 2010. Payments of interest only are due monthly under the terms of the credit agreement; the Company may make voluntary prepayments in whole or in part, at any time. The Company is required to pay a quarterly fee at an annual rate of 0.5% on the average unused balance of the credit facility. At closing the Company borrowed $35.6 million under the credit facility to extinguish its then existing unsecured loans and to pay loan transaction costs, which included arrangement and commitment fees totaling 1.25% of the gross facility commitment. The balance outstanding under the credit facility on December 31, 2010 was $44.9 million, at an annual interest rate of 5.0%. Interest expense incurred in 2010 under the Companys unsecured credit facilities was approximately $1.2 million; interest expense incurred in 2009 under the Companys prior unsecured line of credit facility was approximately $105 thousand. The new credit facility contains financial covenants requiring quarterly minimum net worth, debt service coverage and fixed charge coverage. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2010.
In conjunction with the acquisition of several hotel properties, the Company assumed mortgage notes payable outstanding, secured by the applicable hotel property. The following table summarizes the hotel, interest rate, maturity date and the principal amount assumed associated with each note payable outstanding as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

A fair value adjustment was recorded upon the assumption of above market rate mortgage loans in connection with several of the Companys hotel acquisitions. These premiums will be amortized into interest expense over the remaining term of the related indebtedness using a method approximating the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rates on the applicable debt obligations assumed ranged from 5.40% to 6.24% at the date of assumption. The total adjustment to interest expense was $597 thousand in 2010, $597 thousand in 2009 and $571 thousand in 2008. The unamortized balance of the fair value adjustment was $1.9 million at December 31, 2010 and $2.5 million at December 31, 2009.
The Company incurred loan origination costs related to the assumption of the mortgage obligations on purchased hotels, and upon the origination of its current corporate unsecured revolving credit facility and on the former corporate line of credit facilities extinguished in 2010. Such costs are amortized over the period to maturity of the applicable mortgage loan or credit facility, or to termination of the applicable credit agreement, as an addition to interest expense. Amortization of such costs totaled $351 thousand in 2010, $212 thousand in 2009 and $189 thousand in 2008, and is included in interest expense. The unamortized balance of loan origination costs was $1.6 million at December 31, 2010 and $0.8 million at December 31, 2009.
The mortgage loan assumed on the Richmond, Virginia Marriott hotel has a stated maturity date of September 1, 2014. As a condition of the mortgage loan, the maturity date of the note payable may be accelerated by the lender should the Company be required to expand the hotel, under terms of the ground lease on the hotel property. The Company is under no such requirement as of December 31, 2010.
The Company estimates the fair value of its debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates consistent with the maturity of the debt obligation with similar credit policies. Market rates take into consideration general market conditions and maturity. As of December 31, 2010, the carrying value and estimated fair value
36
of the Companys debt was $148.0 million and $150.1 million. As of December 31, 2009, the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Companys debt was $117.8 million and $119.6 million.
The Companys Interest expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations is net of capitalized interest of $0.4 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. Interest capitalized during the year ended December 31, 2010 was not significant. The interest was capitalized in conjunction with hotel renovations.
Note 4
Shareholders Equity
The Company concluded its best-efforts offering of Units (each Unit consists of one common share, no par value, and one Series A preferred share) on July 17, 2007. The Company registered its Units on Registration Statement Form S-11 (File No. 333-125546) filed March 3, 2006. The Company began its best-efforts offering (the Offering) of Units on March 15, 2006, the same day the Registration Statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
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 do not have any distribution rights except a priority distribution upon the sale of the Companys assets. The priority distribution (Priority Distribution) will be equal to $11.00 per Series A preferred share, and will be paid before any distribution will be made to the holders of any other shares. Upon the Priority Distribution the Series A preferred shares will have no other distribution rights.
The Company has issued 240,000 Series B convertible preferred shares to Glade M. Knight, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in exchange for the payment by him of $0.10 per Series B convertible preferred share, or an aggregate of $24,000. The Series B convertible preferred shares are convertible into common shares pursuant to the formula and on the terms and conditions set forth below.
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 the Companys liquidation, the holder of the Series B convertible preferred shares is entitled to a priority liquidation payment before any distribution of liquidation proceeds to the 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. The holder of a Series B convertible preferred share is entitled to a liquidation payment of $11 per number of common shares each Series B convertible preferred share would be convertible into according to the formula described below. 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.
Each holder of outstanding Series B convertible preferred shares shall have the right to convert any of such shares into common shares of the Company upon and for 180 days following the occurrence of any of the following events:
|
|
|
(1) substantially all of the Companys assets, stock or business is sold or transferred through exchange, merger, consolidation, lease, share exchange, sale or otherwise, other than a sale of assets in liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; |
|
|
|
(2) the termination or expiration without renewal of the advisory agreement with Apple Seven Advisors, Inc. (ASA), or if the Company ceases to use ASRG to provide property acquisition and disposition services; or |
|
|
|
(3) the Companys common shares are listed on any securities exchange or quotation system or in any established market. |
Upon the occurrence of any conversion event, each Series B convertible preferred share may be converted into 24.17104 common shares. In the event the Company raises additional gross proceeds in a subsequent public offering, each Series B convertible preferred share may be converted into an additional number of common shares based on the additional gross proceeds raised through the date of conversion in a subsequent public offering according to the following formula: (X/50 million) x 1.20568, where X is the additional gross proceeds rounded down to the nearest 50 million.
No additional consideration is due upon the conversion of the Series B convertible preferred shares. The conversion into common shares of the Series B convertible preferred shares will result in dilution of the shareholders interests.
37
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 occurs. 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. If a conversion event had occurred at December 31, 2010, expense would have ranged from $0 to $63.8 million (assumes $11 per common share fair market value) which represents approximately 5.8 million shares of common stock.
The Companys Board of Directors has approved the Unit Redemption Program to provide limited interim liquidity to its shareholders who have held their Units for at least one year; the program was initiated in April 2007. Shareholders may request redemption of Units for a purchase price equal to 92% of the price paid per Unit if the Units have been owned less than three years, or 100% of the price paid per Unit if the Units have been owned more than three years. 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. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has redeemed approximately 7.0 million Units in the amount of $74.4 million under the program, including approximately 3.7 million Units redeemed for $40.7 million in 2010, 2.4 million Units redeemed for $24.8 million in 2009, and 729,000 Units redeemed for $7.5 million in 2008.
In July 2007 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 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. As of December 31, 2010, approximately 7.9 million Units, representing $86.5 million in proceeds to the Company, have been issued under the plan, including approximately 2.2 million Units issued in 2010 for $24.6 million, 2.4 million Units issued in 2009 for $25.9 million, and 2.5 million Units issued in 2008 for $28.0 million.
The Companys articles of incorporation authorize issuance of up to 15 million additional preferred shares. No preferred shares other than the Series A preferred shares and the Series B convertible preferred shares (discussed above) have been issued. The Company believes that the authorization to issue additional preferred shares benefits the Company and its shareholders by permitting flexibility in financing additional growth, giving the Company additional financing options in corporate planning and in responding to developments in business, including financing of additional acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. Having authorized preferred shares available for issuance in the future gives the Company the ability to respond to future developments and allows preferred shares to be issued without the expense and delay of a special shareholders meeting. At present, the Company has no specific financing or acquisition plans involving the issuance of additional preferred shares and the Company does not propose to fix the characteristics of any series of preferred shares in anticipation of issuing preferred shares other than the Series A preferred shares and Series B convertible preferred shares discussed above. The Company cannot now predict whether or to what extent, if any, additional preferred shares will be used or if so used what the characteristics of a particular series may be. The voting rights and rights to distributions of the holders of common shares will be subject to the prior rights of the holders of any subsequently-issued preferred shares. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, the preferred shares would be issuable without further authorization by holders of the common shares and on such terms and for such consideration as may be determined by the Board of Directors. The preferred shares could be issued in one or more series having varying voting rights, redemption and conversion features, distribution (including liquidating distribution) rights and preferences, and other rights, including rights of approval of specified transactions. A series of preferred shares could be given rights that are superior to rights of holders of common shares and a series having preferential distribution rights could limit common share distributions and reduce the amount holders of common shares would otherwise receive on dissolution.
Note 5
Stock Incentive Plans
In 2006 the Board of Directors approved a Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan (the Directors Plan) whereby directors, who are not employees of the Company or affiliates, automatically receive the option to purchase Units. Under the Directors Plan, the number of Units authorized for issuance is equal to 45,000 plus 1.8% of the number of Units sold in excess of the minimum offering of 4,761,905 Units. This plan currently relates to the initial public offering of 91,125,541 Units. The maximum number of Units authorized under the Directors Plan as of December 31, 2010 is 1,599,545.
Also in 2006, the Board of Directors approved an Incentive Stock Option Plan (the Incentive Plan) whereby incentive awards may be granted to certain personnel of the Company or affiliates. Under the Incentive Plan, the number of
38
Units authorized for issuance is equal to 35,000 plus 4.625% of the number of Units sold in the initial offering in excess of 4,761,905. This plan also currently relates to the initial public offering of 91,125,541 Units. The maximum number of Units that can be issued under the Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2010 is 4,029,318.
Both plans generally provide, among other things, that options be granted at exercise prices not lower than the market value of the Units on the date of grant. The options expire 10 years from the date of the grant. During 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company granted options to purchase 74,224, 74,796 and 74,024 Units, respectively, under the Directors Plan. All of the options issued vested at the date of issuance, and have an exercise price of $11 per Unit. The Company has granted no options under the Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2010. Activity in the Companys stock option plans during 2010, 2009 and 2008 is summarized in the following table:

Management and Franchise Agreements
Each of the Companys 51 hotels owned at December 31, 2010 are operated and managed, under separate management agreements, by affiliates of one of the following companies (indicates the number of hotels managed): Marriott International, Inc. (Marriott) (3), Dimension Development Company (Dimension) (12), Hilton Worldwide (Hilton) (2), Western International (Western) (7), Larry Blumberg & Associates (LBA) (19), White Lodging Services Corporation (WLS) (3), or Inn Ventures, Inc. (Inn Ventures) (5). The agreements provide for initial terms ranging from one to twenty years. Fees associated with the agreements generally include the payment of base management fees, incentive management fees, accounting fees, and other fees for centralized services which are allocated among all of the hotels that receive the benefit of such services. Base management fees are calculated as a percentage of gross revenues. Incentive management fees are calculated as a percentage of operating profit in excess of a priority return to the Company, as defined in the management agreements. The Company has the option to terminate the management agreements if specified performance thresholds are not satisfied. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred approximately $6.6 million, $6.1 million and $7.4 million, respectively, in management fee expense.
Dimension, Western, LBA, WLS, and Inn Ventures are not affiliated with either Marriott or Hilton, and as a result, these hotels (as well as the two hotels managed by Promus Hotels, Inc., which is an affiliate of Hilton) were required to obtain separate franchise agreements with each respective franchisor. The Hilton franchise agreements generally provide for initial terms ranging between 10 to 20 years. Fees associated with the Hilton agreements generally include the payment of royalty fees and program fees based on room revenues. The Marriott franchise agreements provide for an initial term of between six and 20 years. Fees associated with the Marriott agreements include the payment of royalty fees, marketing fees, reservation fees and a communications support fee based on room revenues. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 the Company incurred approximately $8.2 million, $7.8 million and $8.3 million, respectively, in franchise fee expense.
Note 7
Related Parties
The Company has, and is expected to continue to engage in, 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 Companys independent members of the Board of Directors oversee and annually review the Companys related party relationships (which include the relationships discussed in this section) and are required to approve any significant modifications to these contracts, as well as any new significant related
39
party transactions. There were no changes to the contracts discussed in this section and no new significant related party transactions during 2010. The Board of Directors is not required to approve each individual transaction that falls under a related party relationship, however under the direction of the Board of Directors, at least one member of the Companys senior management team approves each related party transaction.
The Company has a contract with ASRG, a related party, 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 2% of the gross purchase price of any acquisitions or gross sale price of any dispositions of real estate investments, subject to certain conditions plus certain reimbursable costs. Payments to ASRG for services under the terms of this contract have totaled approximately $18.0 million since inception, which were capitalized as a part of the purchase price of the hotels. No fees were incurred under this contract during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
The Company is party to an advisory agreement with ASA to provide management services to the Company. An annual fee ranging from 0.1% to 0.25% of total equity proceeds received by the Company, in addition to certain reimbursable expenses, are payable for these services. Total advisory fees and reimbursable expenses incurred by the Company under the advisory agreement are included in general and administrative expenses and totaled approximately $2.8 million, $3.0 million and $3.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Of this total expense, approximately $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.5 million were paid to ASA and $1.8 million, $2.0 million and $1.9 million were expenses reimbursed (or paid directly to Apple REIT Six, Inc. on behalf of ASA) by ASA to Apple REIT Six, Inc. for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.
The advisors are staffed with personnel of Apple REIT Six, Inc. (AR6). AR6 provides similar staffing for Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (A6A), Apple Eight Advisors, Inc. (A8A), Apple Nine Advisors, Inc. (A9A) and Apple Ten Advisors, Inc. (A10A). A6A, A8A, A9A and A10A provide management services to, respectively, AR6, Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc. and Apple REIT Ten, Inc. Although there is a potential conflict on time allocation of personnel due to the fact that a senior manager, officer or staff member will provide services to more than one company, the Company believes that the executives and staff compensation sharing arrangement allows the companies to share costs yet attract and retain superior executives and staff. The cost sharing structure also allows each entity to maintain a much more cost effective structure than having separate staffing arrangements. Amounts reimbursed to AR6 include both compensation for personnel and overhead (office rent, utilities, benefits, office supplies, etc.) utilized by the companies. The allocation of costs from AR6 is made by the management of the several REITs and is reviewed at least annually by the Compensation Committees of the several REITs. In making the allocation, management and the Compensation Committee, consider all relevant facts related to the Companys level of business activity and the extent to which the Company requires the services of particular personnel of AR6. Such payments are based on the actual cost of the services and are not based on formal record keeping regarding the time these personnel devote to the Company, but are based on a good faith estimate by the individual and/or his or her supervisor of the time devoted by the individual to the Company. As part of this arrangement, the day to day transactions may result in amounts due to or from the noted related parties. To efficiently manage cash disbursements, the individual companies may make payments for any or all of the related companies. The amounts due to or from the related individual companies are reimbursed or collected and are not significant in amount.
The Company has a partial ownership interest in Apple Air Holdings, LLC (Apple Air). A 50% interest was originally purchased by the Company for approximately $7.5 million in 2007 to allow the Company access to two corporate Lear jets for asset management and hotel renovation purposes. In January 2009, the Companys ownership interest in 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, which approximated the Companys carrying value of the 24% ownership interest at the date of redemption. No gain or loss from the redemption was recognized by the Company. The Companys ownership interest in Apple Air is included in other assets, net on the Companys consolidated balance sheet, and was approximately $2.0 million and $2.8 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The other members of Apple Air are Apple REIT Six, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc. The Company records its share of income or loss of the entity under the equity method of accounting, adjusting its investment accordingly. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $0.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively, as its share of the net loss of Apple Air which is included in general and administrative expense. The losses relate primarily to the depreciation of the aircraft and in 2010 the reduction in basis of the two jets due to the planned trade in for one new jet.
Including ASRG, ASA, A6A, A8A, A9A and A10A discussed above, Mr. Knight is also Chairman and CEO of Apple REIT Six, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc. and Apple REIT Ten, Inc. Members of the Companys Board of Directors are also on the boards of Apple REIT Six, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc. and Apple REIT Ten, Inc.

Note 8
Gain from Settlement of Contingency
The Company recorded other income of $3.1 million in November 2010 arising from the de-recognition of a liability for taxes, previously assessed by the Broad Street Community Development Authority of Richmond, VA (CDA). Upon the Companys purchase in January 2008 of the full service Marriott hotel in Richmond, VA (MRV), the Company assumed all remaining obligations of the MRV under a multi-year minimum tax assessment on hotels operating within the CDAs jurisdiction. The MRV was obligated for minimum annual tax payments to the CDA of $257 thousand, which related to the 2003 issuance by the CDA of tax-exempt revenue bonds with maturities extending through 2033. Annual tax payments to the CDA were effective through the earlier of a) a period extending through 2033, or b) payment or defeasance in full of all applicable CDA revenue bonds. In November 2010, the CDA provided for the full defeasance or redemption of the applicable CDA revenue bonds. Accordingly, the CDA announced that assessments and collections of the prior tax have ceased as of November 2010. The Companys net present value of the previously required minimum annual tax assessments, originally projected to extend through 2033, was $3.1 million at the date of the CDAs bond defeasance and redemption in November 2010.
Note 9
Commitments
The Company leases the underlying land for six hotel properties as of December 31, 2010. These land leases have remaining terms available to the Company ranging from 17 to 92 years, excluding any potential option periods to extend the initial lease term.
The initial term for the land lease for the Residence Inn in Seattle, WA extends through February 2049, with an additional three consecutive 10-year extensions available to the Company (the lessee under the assumed lease). The lease is subject to various payment adjustments during the lease term, including potential periodic increases in lease payments based on the appraised market value of the underlying land at time of adjustment. Based on an assessment of the fair value of the assumed land lease at the date of the hotel acquisition, the Company recorded an initial land lease liability. This liability will be amortized over the life of the lease, and is included in accrued expenses on the Companys consolidated balance sheet; the amount of the liability at December 31, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $2.1 million and $2.2 million respectively.
The initial term for the land lease for the full-service Marriott hotel in Richmond, VA extends through December 2102. The lease is subject to payment adjustments, based on the Consumer Price Index, at stated intervals during its term. A fair value adjustment was recorded by the Company upon the assumption of the below market rate ground lease. This favorable lease asset will be amortized over the remaining term of the ground lease. The unamortized balance of the land leases fair value adjustment was approximately $0.9 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and is included in other assets, net on the Companys consolidated balance sheet. Upon assumption of the MRV land lease, the Company also assumed certain contingent responsibilities of the hotels predecessor owner, with respect to the third-party lessor of the land. Dependent on conditions which include the hotel exceeding stated revenue per available room (RevPAR) thresholds for a trailing twelve month period (with thresholds adjusting upward by 3% annually), the Company may be obligated to construct an addition to the MRV hotel containing a minimum of 209 rooms. As of December 31, 2010, there is no requirement to commence an expansion of the MRV hotel.
The Company has also assumed land leases pertaining to the Columbus, GA Fairfield Inn; Macon, GA Hilton Garden Inn; Columbus, GA TownePlace Suites; and the Miami, FL Courtyard hotel properties. Based on an assessment of each of these leases, no material land lease liability, or favorable lease asset, was assumed at date of acquisition.
The aggregate amounts of the estimated minimum lease payments pertaining to the Companys land leases, for the five years subsequent to December 31, 2010 and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

Industry Segments
The Company owns 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 hotels has similar economic characteristics, facilities, and services, the properties have been aggregated into a single operating segment. All segment disclosures are included in, or can be derived from, the Companys consolidated financial statements.
