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 Apple REIT Eight, Inc. (“the Company”) to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the ability of the Company
to implement its acquisition strategy and operating strategy; the Company’s ability to manage planned growth; changes in economic cycles and competition within the 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 Company’s qualification as a real estate investment trust involves the
application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Readers should carefully review the Company’s financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Item
1A. Apple REIT Eight, Inc. is a Virginia corporation that was formed to invest in hotels and other income-producing real estate. Initial capitalization occurred on January 22, 2007, when 10 Units, each Unit consisting of one common share and one Series A preferred share were purchased by Apple Eight
Advisors, Inc. (“A8A”) and 240,000 Series B convertible shares were purchased by Glade M. Knight, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s first investor closing occurred on July 27, 2007 and the Company acquired its first property on November 9, 2007. As of December
31, 2010, the Company owned 51 hotel properties operating in nineteen states. 45 hotels were purchased in 2008 and six were purchased in 2007. The Company completed its best efforts-offering of Units in April 2008. 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 wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries (collectively, the “Lessee”), which lease all of the Company’s hotels from wholly-owned qualified REIT subsidiaries. The hotels are operated and managed by affiliates of Newport Hospitality Group, Inc. (“Newport”), Larry Blumberg & Associates
(“LBA”), Western International (“Western”), Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”), White Lodging Services Corporation (“WLS”), Dimension Development Company (“Dimension”), Inn Ventures, Inc. (“Inn Ventures”), True North Hotel Group, Inc. (“True North”), Intermountain Management, LLC
(“Intermountain”), MHH Management, LLC (“McKibbon”) and Crestline Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (“Crestline”) under separate hotel management agreements. The Company separately evaluates the performance of each of its hotel properties. Due to the significance of the New York, New York hotel, the Company has two reportable segments. The Company has no foreign operations. 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 Company’s Internet website is www.applereiteight.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. 2
Business Objectives The Company’s 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 Company’s acquisition strategy, substantially complete as of December 2008, included purchasing
income producing real estate with strong brand recognition, high levels of customer satisfaction and the potential for cash flow growth. The internal growth strategy includes utilizing the Company’s asset management expertise to improve the quality of the Company’s properties by renovating existing
properties, aggressively managing room rates, partnering with industry leaders in management and franchising the hotels with leading brands, thereby improving revenue and operating performance. When cost effective, the Company renovates its properties to increase its ability to compete in particular
markets. The Company believes its completed acquisitions, planned renovations and strong asset management will improve each hotel’s performance in its individual market and as a result its portfolio will show improved financial results over the long-term, although there can be no assurance of these
results. Financing The Company has fifteen notes payable which were assumed with the acquisition of hotels. Two of the notes were refinanced in 2010. These notes have a total outstanding balance of $123.8 million at December 31, 2010, have maturity dates ranging from February 2012 to July 2017, and interest rates
ranging from 5.14% to 6.29%. In October 2010, the Company entered into an unsecured $75.0 million revolving line of credit which matures in October 2012 and has a variable interest rate based on the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), with a floor of 3.5%. The outstanding balance on the
line as of December 31, 2010 was $51.9 million and its interest rate was 3.5%. The new line effectively extended the Company’s existing line of credit. Also in October 2010, the Company entered into an interest only term loan of $25 million with a maturity date of October 2012 and a variable interest
rate based on LIBOR, with a floor of 3.5%, the effective interest rate at December 31, 2010. The Company anticipates that cash flow from operations and credit availability will be adequate to meet substantially all of its anticipated liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures, debt service and
required distributions to shareholders. The Company intends to maintain a relatively stable dividend rate instead of raising and lowering the distribution rate with varying economic cycles. With the depressed financial results of the Company and the lodging industry, the Company may attempt to 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 distributions to levels required to maintain its REIT status. If the Company was unsuccessful in extending
maturing debt in future periods or if it were to default on its debt, it may be unable to make distributions. The Company’s bylaws require board approval and review of any debt financing obtained by the Company. Industry and Competition The hotel industry is highly competitive. Each of the Company’s 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 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 Company’s 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 Company’s hotels. Additionally, 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 five Homewood Suites hotels, six Hilton Garden Inn hotels, five Hampton Inn hotels, three Hampton Inn and Suites hotels, ten Residence Inn hotels, eleven Courtyard hotels, three Fairfield Inn & Suites hotels, three SpringHill Suites hotels, three
TownePlace Suites hotels, one full-service Marriott hotel and one Renaissance hotel. They are located in nineteen states and, in aggregate, consist of 5,909 rooms. 3
Room revenue for these hotels totaled $169.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, and the hotels achieved average occupancy of 70%, ADR of $112 and RevPAR of $79. Room revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 totaled $158.3 million, and the hotels achieved average
occupancy of 66%, ADR of $112 and RevPAR of $73. Hotel performance is impacted by many factors including the economic conditions in the United States as well as each locality. With the significant decline in economic conditions throughout the United States as compared to 2007 and 2008, overall
performance of the Company’s hotels since acquisition have not met expectations. Although there is no way to predict future general economic conditions, the Company’s and industry’s revenues and income improved in 2010 as compared to 2009, with industry analysts forecasting 2011 revenue percentage
growth in the mid-single digits as compared to 2010. While reflecting the impact of declining economic activity, the Company’s hotel performance as compared to other hotels within each individual market has generally met expectations for the period held. The Company’s 2010 average RevPAR index was 130, with the market average being 100. The
RevPAR index compares an individual hotel’s RevPAR to the average RevPAR of its local market and is provided by Smith Travel Research, Inc.Ò an independent company that tracks historical hotel performance in most markets throughout the world. Management and Franchise Agreements Each of the Company’s 51 hotels are operated and managed, under separate management agreements, by affiliates of one of the following companies: Newport, LBA, Western, Marriott, WLS, Dimension, Inn Ventures, True North, Intermountain, McKibbon and Crestline. The agreements provide for
initial terms ranging from one to thirty 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 $6.3 million, $6.0 million and $4.5 million in management fees. Newport, LBA, Western, WLS, Dimension, Inn Ventures, True North, Intermountain, McKibbon and Crestline are not affiliated with either Marriott or Hilton, and as a result, the hotels they manage were required to obtain separate franchise agreements with each respective franchisor. The Hilton
franchise agreements generally provide for initial terms of 10 to 20 years. Fees associated with the agreements generally include the payment of royalty fees and program fees. The Marriott franchise agreements provide for initial terms of 10 to 30 years. Fees associated with the 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 $7.1 million, $6.8 million and $5.2 million in franchise fees. Maintenance and Renovation The Company’s 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 Company’s capital expenditures were approximately $5.4 million and $25.2 million. Employees The Company does not have any employees. During 2010, all employees involved in the day-to-day operation of the Company’s 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, personnel from A8A which in turn utilizes personnel from Apple REIT Six, Inc. 4
Environmental Matters In connection with each of the Company’s hotel acquisitions, the Company obtained a Phase I Environmental Report and additional environmental reports and surveys, as are necessitated by the preliminary report. Based on the reports, the Company is not aware of any environmental situations
requiring remediation at the Company’s properties, which have not been, or are not currently being remediated as necessary. 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. Generally, occupancy rates and hotel revenues are greater in the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth quarters. As a result, there may be quarterly fluctuations in results of operations. To the extent that cash flow from
operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, the Company expects to utilize cash on hand or available credit 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 arm’s length, and the results of the Company’s operations may be different if these transactions were conducted with non-related parties. The
Company’s independent members of the Board of Directors oversee and annually review the Company’s 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 party relationships, however, under the direction of the
Board of Directors, at least one member of the Company’s senior management team approves each related party transaction. The Company has a contract with Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. (“ASRG”), a related party, to provide brokerage services for the acquisition and disposition of the Company’s real estate assets. In accordance with the contract, ASRG is paid a fee of 2% of the gross purchase price of any
acquisitions or gross sale price of any dispositions of real estate investments, subject to certain conditions plus certain reimbursable costs. As of December 31, 2010, payments to ASRG for services under the terms of this contract have totaled approximately $19.0 million since inception, which were
capitalized as a part of the purchase price of the hotels. No fees were incurred by the Company during 2010 and 2009 under this contract. The Company is party to an advisory agreement with A8A 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 $2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Of this total expense,
approximately $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million were fees paid to A8A and $1.8 million, $2.0 million and $1.7 million were expenses reimbursed (or paid directly to Apple REIT Six, Inc. (“AR6”) on behalf of A8A) by A8A to AR6 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. The advisors are staffed with personnel of AR6. AR6 provides similar staffing for Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (“A6A”), Apple Seven Advisors, Inc. (“A7A”), Apple Nine Advisors, Inc. (“A9A”) and Apple Ten Advisors, Inc. (“A10A”). A6A, A7A, A9A and A10A provide management services to,
respectively, AR6, Apple REIT Seven, 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 5
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 Company’s level of business activity and the extent to which the Company requires the services of particular personnel of AR6. Such payments are based on actual costs 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 employee and/or his or her supervisor of the time devoted by the employee 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, A6A, ASA, A8A, A9A and A10A discussed above, Mr. Knight is also Chairman and CEO of Apple REIT Six, Inc., Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc. and Apple REIT Ten, Inc. Members of the Company’s Board of Directors are also on the boards of Apple REIT
Six, Inc., Apple REIT Seven, 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 Seven, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc. In October 2010, Apple REIT Nine, Inc. purchased from the Company’s third party lender, the note payable secured by the Columbia, South Carolina Hilton Garden Inn. The purchase of the note by Apple REIT Nine, Inc. had no financial effect on the Company. The terms of the note remain the
same. The following describes several risk factors which are applicable to the Company. Hotel Operations The Company’s 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. 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
Company’s control may reduce the value of properties that the Company owns. As a result, cash available to make distributions to shareholders may be affected. 6
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 Company’s 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
Company’s 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 individual’s
willingness to travel. The Company’s property insurance will typically cover losses for property damage due to terrorist attacks or natural disasters. 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 Company’s 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 Company’s properties in order to maintain uniformity within the franchisor system. These standards could potentially conflict with the Company’s ability to create specific business plans tailored to each property and to each market. Competition The hotel industry is highly competitive. Each of the Company’s hotels is located in a developed area that includes other hotels and competes for guests primarily with other hotels in the Company’s immediate vicinity and secondarily with other hotels in the Company’s 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 and revenue per available room of the Company’s 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 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, 7
the Company’s bylaws provide that no person may own more than 9.8% of the issued and outstanding Units. Any purported transfer of the Company’s 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 affect the Company and its shareholders. Distributions to Shareholders If the Company’s properties do not generate sufficient revenue to meet operating expenses, the Company’s cash flow and the Company’s 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 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 monthly 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 Company’s 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 its 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 shareholders would differ from a distribution from the Company’s 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, and as a result, the Company may not be able to use debt to meet any of its cash requirements. Debt Terms The line of credit and term loan entered into in October 2010 contain 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 income to
debt service and distributions. The secured debt increases the Company’s risk of property losses as defaults on the debt may result in foreclosure by the lenders. 8

945,312 For additional information about the Company’s properties, refer to Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The Company is not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to the Company’s knowledge, is any litigation threatened against the Company or any of its properties, other than routine actions arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are expected to be covered by liability
insurance and all of which collectively are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition or results of operations. 11
Common Shares There is currently no established public market in which the Company’s common shares are traded. As of December 31, 2010 there were 94.6 million Units outstanding. Each Unit consists of one common share, no par value, and one series A preferred share of the Company. 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 market valuation 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 19,600 beneficial shareholders. Dividend Reinvestment Plan In the second quarter of 2008 the Company instituted a Dividend Reinvestment Plan for its shareholders. The plan provides a convenient and cost effective way to increase shareholder investment in the Company by reinvesting dividends to purchase additional Units of the Company. The uses of the
proceeds from this plan may include purchasing Units under the Company’s Unit Redemption Program, enhancing properties, satisfying financing obligations and other expenses, increasing working capital, funding various corporate operations, and acquiring hotels. The Company has registered 10 million
Units for potential issuance under the plan. As of December 31, 2010, approximately 6.3 million Units, representing $68.9 million in proceeds to the Company, have been issued under the plan. Unit Redemption Program Effective in October 2008, the Company instituted a Unit Redemption Program to provide limited interim liquidity to its shareholders who have held their Units for at least one year. Shareholders may request redemption of Units for a purchase price equal to 92% of the price paid per Unit if the
Units have been owned for less than three years, or 100% of the price paid per Unit if the Units have been owned more than three years. The maximum number of Units that may be redeemed in any 12-month period will be three percent of the weighted average number of Units outstanding during the
12-month period immediately prior to the date of redemption. The Company reserves the right to change the purchase price for 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 2.8 million Units in the amount of $29.0 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 61% of the requested redemptions, or a total of $8.0 million. See the Company’s complete consolidated statement of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 included in the
Company’s audited financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for a description of the sources and uses of the Company’s cash flows.

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 Company’s 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. Series B Convertible Preferred Shares In January 2007 the Company issued 240,000 Series B convertible preferred shares to Glade M. Knight, the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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’s business; or (2) the termination or expiration without renewal of the advisory agreement with Apple Eight Advisors,
Inc., or if the company ceases to use Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. to provide property acquisition and disposition services; or (3) the Company’s common shares are listed on any securities exchange or quotation system or in any established market. Preferred Shares The Company’s 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. 13
Distribution Policy To maintain its REIT status the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its ordinary income. Distributions in 2010 totaled $72.5 million and were paid monthly at a rate of $0.064167 per common share. Distributions totaled $74.9 million in 2009 (paid at a monthly rate of $0.073334 for the
first four months of 2009 and at a monthly rate of $0.064167 for the remaining eight months of 2009) and $76.4 million in 2008 (paid monthly at a rate of $0.073334). The timing and amounts of distributions to shareholders are within the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The amount and
frequency of future distributions will depend on the Company’s 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 Company’s line of credit loan agreement has a distribution to income covenant. Therefore, to maintain compliance with the covenant, the
Company may need to reduce distributions. Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan and Incentive Plan The Company’s Board of Directors has adopted and the Company’s shareholders have approved a Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan and an Incentive Plan. The options issued under each plan convert upon exercise of the options 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 244,468 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:

4,029,318 Item 6. Selected Financial Data The following table sets forth selected financial data for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 and the period from January 22, 2007 (initial capitalization) through December 31, 2007.

notes thereto. This data should be read in conjunction with Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Item 15(1), the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. During the
period from the Company’s initial capitalization on January 22, 2007 to November 8, 2007, the Company owned no properties, had no revenue exclusive of interest income, and was primarily engaged in capital formation activities. Operations commenced on November 9, 2007 with the Company’s first
property acquisition. 14

(a)
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. The Company considers FFO in evaluating property acquisitions and
its operating performance and believes that FFO should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash flows as a measure of the Company’s activities in accordance with GAAP. The Company considers FFO as a supplemental measure 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, it provides investors with an indication of the performance of the Company. The Company’s definition of FFO is
not necessarily the same as such terms that are used by other companies. FFO is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. (b) Total room revenue divided by number of rooms sold. (c) ADR multiplied by occupancy percentage. (d) Represents the number of room nights sold during the period. (e) Represents the number of rooms owned by the Company multiplied by the number of nights in the period. 16
Item 7. Management’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s qualification as a real estate investment trust involves the application of highly technical
and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Readers should carefully review the Company’s financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and Item 1A. General The Company was formed and initially capitalized on January 22, 2007, with its first investor closing on July 27, 2007. 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 Company’s first six hotels were acquired in November and December 2007, and 45 additional hotels were purchased in 2008. Accordingly, the results of operations include only the results of operations of the hotels for the periods owned. Exclusive of interest income,
the Company had no operating revenues before the first hotel acquisition in November 2007. Hotel performance can be influenced by many factors including local competition, local and national economic conditions in the United States and the performance of individual managers assigned to each hotel. While the Company’s hotels’ performance as compared to other hotels within each
individual market has met expectations for the periods held, overall financial results did not meet expectations in 2010, due to the significant decline in economic conditions throughout the United States. It is anticipated the properties’ financial performance will be below original expectations until general
economic conditions return to pre-recessionary levels. The Company’s and industry’s revenues and income improved in 2010 as compared to 2009. Although still expected to be below 2007 and 2008 levels, the Company expects 2011 revenue percentage increases in the mid single digits 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
hotel’s results to other hotels in its local market, and expenses, such as hotel operating expenses, general and administrative and other expenses described below. 17
The Company owned the same number of hotels (51) at December 31, 2010 and 2009 (consisting of 5,909 rooms). The following is a summary of results for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Management and Franchise Agreements Each of the Company’s 51 hotels are operated and managed, under separate management agreements, by affiliates of one of the following companies: Newport Hospitality Group, Inc. (“Newport”), Larry Blumberg & Associates (“LBA”), Western International (“Western”), Marriott International, Inc.
(“Marriott”), White Lodging Services Corporation (“WLS”), Dimension Development Company (“Dimension”), Inn Ventures, Inc. (“Inn Ventures”), True North Hotel Group, Inc. (“True North”), Intermountain Management, LLC (“Intermountain”), MHH Management, LLC (“McKibbon”) and Crestline

Balance as of
Dec. 31, 2010
Newport, LBA, Western, WLS, Dimension, Inn Ventures, True North, Intermountain, McKibbon and Crestline are not affiliated with either Marriott or Hilton, and as a result, the hotels they manage were required to obtain separate franchise agreements with each respective franchisor. The Hilton
franchise agreements generally provide for initial terms of 10 to 20 years. Fees associated with the agreements generally include the payment of royalty fees and program fees. The Marriott franchise agreements provide for initial terms of 10 to 30 years. Fees associated with the 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 $7.1 million, $6.8 million and $5.2 million in franchise fees. Results of Operations for Years 2010 and 2009 As of December 31, 2010, the Company owned 51 hotels with 5,909 rooms. The Company’s 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 consumer and business travel. As a result, lodging demand in most markets in the United States has declined as compared to pre-recession levels. Economic conditions stabilized and showed modest
growth in 2010 as compared to 2009 throughout the United States, which led to the Company’s improved revenue and income in 2010 as compared to 2009. Although the Company expects continued improvement in 2011, it is not anticipated that revenue and income will reach pre-recessionary levels. The
Company’s hotels have shown results consistent with industry and brand averages for the period of ownership. The Company separately evaluates the performance of each of its hotel properties. Due to the significance of the New York, New York hotel, the Company has two reportable segments. Revenues The Company’s principal source of revenue is hotel room revenue and other related revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company had total revenue of $182.6 million. Revenue for the New York hotel was $19.6 million or 11% of total revenue for the year. For the year, the hotels
achieved combined average occupancy of approximately 70%, ADR of $112 and RevPAR of $79. The New York hotel had average occupancy of 85%, ADR of $271 and RevPAR of $229. All other hotels combined had occupancy of 70%, ADR of $105 and RevPAR of $74. RevPAR is calculated as
ADR multiplied by the occupancy percentage. ADR is calculated as room revenue divided by the number of rooms sold. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company had total revenue of $170.9 million. Revenue for the New York hotel was $14.5 million or 8% of total revenue for the year. For the year, the hotels achieved combined average occupancy of approximately 66%, ADR of $112 and RevPAR of
$73. The New York hotel had average occupancy of 73%, ADR of $227 and RevPAR of $165. All other hotels combined had occupancy of 65%, ADR of $107 and RevPAR of $70. As reflected in the Company’s occupancy increase (the Company has seen year over year occupancy improvement every month since November 2009), the industry realized an overall increase in demand as compared to 2009. The increase was a result of reduced room rates and the sense that the
overall economy was stabilizing, generating more business and leisure travelers. While ADR still trailed pre-recession levels, it has stabilized, and it increased in the second half of 2010 as compared to 2009. As a result, the Company’s RevPAR increased 8% for 2010 as compared to 2009. The Company
anticipates mid-single digit percentage increases in RevPAR in 2011 as compared to 2010. While the revenue rates earned by the Company are consistent with industry and brand averages, the Company continues to focus on improving market share. The Company’s properties overall lead their respective markets with an Average RevPAR Index of 130 for 2010 (the market average is 100). During the first half of 2009, the Company was in the process of completing its conversion of the New York hotel from an unbranded hotel to a Renaissance hotel. While the Company completed the conversion to a Renaissance in late April 2009, there were certain additional renovation
requirements to complete during the course of the year. Consequently, the hotel had an average of 32 rooms out of service each night for the first half of 2009 and experienced other disruptions to its common areas. As a result of the conversion effort and 21
declines in economic conditions, revenue at the hotel was unusually low for the first half of 2009. The RevPAR Index for the New York hotel was 112 for 2010, an increase of 29% from 2009. Although the hotel’s revenue increased 35% in 2010 as compared to 2009, the Company believes there continues
to be opportunity for market penetration and continues to work with Marriott management to increase the RevPAR Index for the New York hotel. Expenses For the year ended December 31, 2010, hotel direct expenses of the Company’s hotels totaled $109.0 million or 60% of total revenue. The New York hotel had direct expenses of $11.1 million or 57% of its total revenue for the year. For the year ended December 31, 2009, hotel direct expenses were
$105.1 million or 61% of total revenue. The New York hotel had direct expenses of $10.0 million or 69% of its total revenue for the year. Hotel direct expenses consist of operating expense, hotel administrative expense, sales and marketing expense, utilities expense, repair and maintenance expense,
franchise fees and management fees. In 2009 operating expense as a percentage of revenue was negatively impacted by the ramp up of several hotels that opened in the second half of 2008 and by renovations in 2009. The Company had approximately 27,000 room nights out of service due to renovations in 2009. Additionally, hotel
operational expenses for 2009 reflect the impact of declining revenues at most of the Company’s hotels, and the Company’s efforts to control costs in such an economic environment. However, certain operating costs such as management costs, certain utility costs and minimum supply and maintenance
costs are relatively fixed in nature, and cannot be curtailed or eliminated. The Company has been successful in reducing, relative to revenues, certain labor costs, food and supply costs and utility costs by continually monitoring and sharing utilization data across its hotels and management companies. The
Company will continue to work with its management companies to reduce costs as aggressively as possible. Taxes, insurance, and other expense for 2010 and 2009 totaled $10.1 million (6% of total revenues for 2010) and $10.2 million (or 6% of total revenues for 2009) of which approximately $680 thousand and $355 thousand related to the New York hotel. Total Company taxes, insurance and other
expense is anticipated to remain stable in 2011. New York will continue to increase as tax incentives will decline over time. Land lease expense was $6.4 million for 2010 and $6.4 million for 2009. This expense represents the expense incurred by the Company to lease land for five hotel properties. Land lease expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 for the New York hotel was $5.9 million. General and administrative expense (“G&A”) for 2010 and 2009 was $5.2 million and $4.5 million. The principal components of general and administrative expense are advisory fees, legal fees, accounting fees, reporting expense and the Company’s share of loss from its investment in Apple Air Holding
LLC. 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. G&A also increased in 2010 due to an approximately $0.4 million loss related to
Apple Air’s contract to trade-in its two jets for one new jet in 2011. Depreciation expense was $35.0 million for 2010 and $32.9 million for 2009. This expense includes $6.4 million and $5.9 million for the New York hotel. Depreciation expense represents depreciation expense of the Company’s hotel buildings and related improvements, and associated furniture, fixtures
and equipment, for the respective periods owned. The increase is a result of capital improvements made by the Company in 2009 of approximately $25 million to complete 12 renovations. In the first quarter of 2010, the Company sold its equity securities in a publicly traded real estate investment trust, resulting in realized gains and other investment income of approximately $3.0 million. For the 2009 year, the Company recognized investment income, net of $1.1 million, comprised of
interest income (earnings on excess cash invested in short term money market instruments and certificates of deposit) and a realized gain of $1.0 million on the sale of a portion of its investment in equity securities of one public REIT. Interest expense for 2010 and 2009 totaled $9.2 million and $7.4 million and primarily represents interest expense incurred on mortgage loans assumed on 15 hotel properties acquired during 2008 and the Company’s line of credit and term loan, offset by capitalized interest of $0.1 million in 2010 and
$1.4 million in 2009 in conjunction with renovations. 22
Results of Operations for Years 2009 and 2008 As of December 31, 2009, the Company owned 51 hotels with 5,909 rooms. Forty-five hotels with 5,231 rooms were purchased during 2008. As of December 31, 2007, the Company owned six hotels with 678 rooms. The Company’s operations did not commence until November 2007, when the
Company purchased its first three hotels. As a result of the acquisition activity in 2008, a comparison of operations for 2009 to prior periods is not representative of the results that would have occurred if all hotels had been owned for the entire periods presented. Revenues The Company’s principal source of revenue is hotel room revenue and other related revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had total revenue of $170.9 million and $133.3 million. Revenue for the New York hotel was $14.5 million or 8% of total revenue for 2009
and $14.4 million or 11% of total revenue for 2008. For the 2009 year, the hotels achieved combined average occupancy of approximately 66%, ADR of $112 and RevPAR of $73. The New York hotel had average occupancy of 73%, ADR of $227 and RevPAR of $165. All other hotels combined had
occupancy of 65%, ADR of $107 and RevPAR of $70. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the hotels achieved combined average occupancy of approximately 69%, ADR of $121 and RevPAR of $83. The New York hotel had average occupancy of 66%, ADR of $253 and RevPAR of $166. All other hotels combined had occupancy of 69%, ADR of
$114 and RevPAR of $79. As mentioned previously in the comparison of 2010 and 2009 operating results, the Company was impacted in 2009, particularly the first half, by the conversion of the New York hotel from an unbranded hotel to a Renaissance hotel. As a result of the conversion effort and declines in economic
conditions, revenue at the hotel was unusually low for the first half of 2009. Expenses For the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, hotel direct expenses of the Company’s hotels totaled $105.1 million or 61% of total revenue, and $77.6 million or 58% of total revenue. The New York hotel had direct expenses of $10.0 million or 69% of its total revenue for 2009 and direct
expenses of $8.4 million or 59% of its total revenue for 2008. In 2009 operating expense as a percentage of revenue was negatively impacted by the ramp up of several hotels that opened in the second half of 2008 and by renovations in 2009. The Company had approximately 27,000 room nights out of service due to renovations in 2009. Additionally, hotel
operational expenses for 2009 reflect the impact of declining revenues at most of the Company’s hotels, and the Company’s efforts to control costs in such an economic environment. Operating expenses were negatively impacted in 2008 by start up costs associated with several new hotels and transition costs associated with changing managers in several acquisitions. Taxes, insurance, and other expense for the 2009 year totaled $10.2 million or 6% of total revenues of which approximately $355 thousand related to the New York hotel. Taxes, insurance, and other expense for the 2008 year totaled $6.8 million or 5% of total revenues of which approximately $418
thousand related to the New York hotel. Land lease expense was $6.4 million for 2009 and $6.3 million for 2008. Land lease expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 for the New York hotel was $5.9 million and $5.8 million. General and administrative expense for 2009 and 2008 was $4.5 million and $4.4 million. Depreciation expense was $32.9 million for 2009 and $22.0 million for 2008. This expense includes $5.9 million and $4.3 million for the New York hotel. For the 2009 year, the Company recognized investment income, net of $1.1 million, comprised of interest income (earnings on excess cash invested in short term money market instruments and certificates of deposit) and a realized gain of $1.0 million on the sale of a portion of its investment in equity
securities of one public REIT. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had investment income of $2.2 million. This investment income was comprised of $6.1 million of interest income offset by a marketable equity security 23
impairment loss of $4.4 million and other net realized gains of $0.5 million. During 2008 the Company acquired and sold equity securities in several publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”). Interest expense for 2009 and 2008 totaled $7.4 million and $4.2 million and primarily represents interest expense incurred on mortgage loans assumed on 15 hotel properties acquired during 2008 and the Company’s line of credit, offset by capitalized interest of $1.4 million and $0.7 million in 2009
and 2008 in conjunction with renovations. Related Party Transactions The Company has significant transactions with related parties. These transactions cannot be construed to be arm’s length, and the results of the Company’s operations may be different if these transactions were conducted with non-related parties. The Company’s independent members of the Board of
Directors oversee and annually review the Company’s 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
Company’s 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 Company’s real estate assets. In accordance with the contract, ASRG is paid a fee of 2% of the gross purchase price of any acquisitions or gross sale price of any
dispositions of real estate investments, subject to certain conditions plus certain reimbursable costs. As of December 31, 2010, payments to ASRG for services under the terms of this contract have totaled approximately $19.0 million since inception, which were capitalized as a part of the purchase price of
the hotels. No fees were incurred by the Company under this contract in 2010 or 2009. The Company is party to an advisory agreement with Apple Eight Advisors (“A8A”) 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 $2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Of
this total expense, approximately $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million were fees paid to A8A and $1.8 million, $2.0 million and $1.7 million were expenses reimbursed (or paid directly to Apple REIT Six, Inc. (“AR6”) on behalf of A8A) by A8A to AR6 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009
and 2008. The advisors are staffed with personnel of AR6. AR6 provides similar staffing for Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (“A6A”), Apple Seven Advisors, Inc. (“A7A”), Apple Nine Advisors, Inc. (“A9A”) and Apple Ten Advisors, Inc. (“A10A”). A6A, A7A, A9A and A10A provide management services to,
respectively, AR6, Apple REIT Seven, 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 Company’s level of business activity and the extent to which the Company requires the services of particular personnel of AR6. Such payments are based
on actual costs 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 employee and/or his or her supervisor of the time devoted by the employee 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 24
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. In January 2009 the Company purchased a 24% ownership interest in Apple Air Holding, LLC (“Apple Air”), for $3.2 million in cash. The interest was purchased to allow the Company access to two Lear jets for asset management and renovation purposes. The other members of Apple Air are
Apple REIT Six, Inc., Apple REIT Seven, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc. The Company’s investment in Apple Air is included in Other assets, net on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company records its share of income and losses of Apple Air under the equity method of accounting
and adjusts its investment accordingly. The Company’s share of Apple Air’s loss was approximately $840,000 in 2010 and approximately $460,000 in 2009. The increase in the loss is due to the planned trade-in by Apple Air of the two jets for one new jet in January 2011. In October of 2010, Apple REIT Nine, Inc. purchased from the Company’s third party lender, the note payable secured by the Columbia, South Carolina Hilton Garden Inn. The purchase of the note by Apple REIT Nine, Inc. had no financial effect on the Company. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company entered into a series of assignments of contracts with Apple REIT Nine, Inc. (“AR9”) to transfer its rights and obligations under three purchase contracts for four hotels which were under construction. Under the terms and conditions of the contracts,
the Company assigned to AR9 all of its rights and obligations under these purchase contracts. No consideration or fees were paid to the Company for the assignment of the purchase contracts except for the reimbursement of the following payments previously made by the Company: (i) initial deposits
totaling $1.2 million; and (ii) transactional costs paid to third parties totaling approximately $64,000. These reimbursement payments did not constitute or result in a profit or loss for the Company. 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 A8A, or if the Company ceases to use ASRG to provide property acquisition and disposition services; or (3) the Company’s 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 25
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 the 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 in excess of $63 million (assumes $11 per common share fair market value) which represents approximately 5.8 million shares of common stock. Liquidity and Capital Resources The following is a summary of the Company’s significant commercial commitments as of December 31, 2010.

294,627 Capital Requirements and Resources In October 2010 the Company entered into a $75.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit which expires in October 2012. The line of credit, which effectively extended the Company’s existing line of credit, will be used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, redemptions and
distributions. With the availability of this line of credit, the Company maintains little cash on hand, accessing the line as necessary. As a result, cash on hand was $0 at December 31, 2010. The outstanding balance on the line of credit was $51.9 million at December 31, 2010. Also in October 2010 the
Company entered into a $25 million term loan secured by two hotels. Interest on the loans is due monthly, interest is based on LIBOR with a floor of 3.5%, the interest rate for both loans was 3.5% at December 31, 2010, and the principal is due at maturity which is October 2012. The proceeds from the
term loan were used to reduce the outstanding balance on the line of credit. Both loans have quarterly financial covenants which the Company was in compliance with at December 31, 2010. Although the Company anticipates maintaining compliance with these covenants, there can be no assurances that a
default will not occur and the loans become immediately payable. The Company anticipates that cash flow from operations and the revolving line of credit will be adequate to meet its anticipated 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. With the depressed financial results of the Company and the lodging industry as compared to pre-recession levels, the
Company will attempt to 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 distributions to required levels. If the Company were unable to extend
maturing debt or if it were to default on its debt, it may be unable to make distributions. To maintain its REIT status the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its ordinary income. The Company’s 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 $72.5 million and were paid monthly at a rate of 26
1 Year
5 Years
$0.064167 per common share. For the same period the Company’s cash generated from operations was approximately $44.2 million. This shortfall includes a return of capital and was funded primarily by additional borrowings under the Company’s line of credit facility. The Company intends to continue
paying distributions on a monthly basis. However, since there can be no assurance of the ability of the Company’s properties to provide income at this level, there can be no assurance as to the classification or duration of distributions at the current monthly rate. The Board of Directors monitors the
Company’s distribution rate relative to the performance of the hotels on an ongoing basis and may make adjustments to the distribution rate as determined to be prudent in relation to other cash requirements of the Company. In April 2009, the Board of Directors approved a reduction in the Company’s
annual distribution rate from $0.88 to $0.77 per common share. The reduction of the distribution was effective beginning with the May 2009 distribution. The Company has on-going capital commitments to fund its capital improvements. The Company is required, under all of the hotel management agreements, and under certain loan agreements, to make available, for the repair, replacement, refurbishing of furniture, fixtures, and equipment, a
percentage of gross revenues provided that such amount may be used for the Company’s capital expenditures with respect to the hotels. As of December 31, 2010, the Company held $7.7 million in reserve for capital expenditures. Total capital expenditures in 2010 were $5.4 million, and the Company
completed three renovations. The amount invested in capital expenditures was less in 2010 than 2009 due to the work performed on the properties when they were acquired, the level of capital expenditures in 2009 and 2008, and the depressed economic environment. The Company anticipates 2011 capital
improvements to increase from 2010 and to be in the range of $12 to $14 million. In the second quarter of 2008, 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 distributions to purchase additional Units of the Company. The uses of
the proceeds from this plan may include purchasing Units under the Company’s Unit Redemption Program, enhancing properties, satisfying financing obligations and other expenses, increasing working capital, funding various corporate operations, and acquiring hotels. The Company has registered 10
million Units for potential issuance under the plan. Since inception through December 31, 2010, approximately 6.3 million Units were issued under the plan representing approximately $68.9 million, including 2.4 million Units for $26.1 million in 2010 and 2.4 million Units for $26.8 million in 2009. The Company has a Unit Redemption Program to provide limited interim liquidity to its shareholders who have held their Units for at least one year. Shareholders may request redemption of Units for a purchase price equal to 92% of the price paid per Unit if the Units have been owned less than
three years or 100% of the price per Unit if the Units have been owned more than three years. The maximum number of Units that may be redeemed in any 12-month period is three percent of the weighted average number of Units outstanding during the 12-month period immediately prior to the date
of redemption. The Company reserves the right to change the purchase price for 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 2.8 million Units
in the amount of $29.0 million under the program, including 1.4 million Units in the amount of $14.7 million in 2010 and 1.3 million Units in the amount of $13.1 million redeemed in 2009. Subsequent Events In January 2011, the Company declared and paid $6.1 million or $0.064167 per common share, in a distribution to its common shareholders, of which $2.1 million or 195,270 Units were reinvested under the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. In January 2011, the Company redeemed 732,647 Units in the amount of $8.0 million under its Unit Redemption Program. As contemplated in the Program, the Company redeemed Units on a pro-rata basis. This redemption was approximately 61% of the requested redemption amount. In February 2011, the Company declared and paid $6.0 million or $0.064167 per common share, in a distribution to its common shareholders, of which $2.2 million or 196,222 Units were reinvested under the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. 27
In
March 2011 the Company requested the loans secured by the Winston-Salem,
North Carolina Courtyard, Tampa, Florida TownePlace Suites, Greenville, South
Carolina Residence Inn and Suffolk, Virginia TownePlace Suites and Courtyard
to be placed with a special servicer to negotiate the terms of the loans.
To have the loans placed with the special servicer the Company did not make
the scheduled monthly debt payments for March 2011. The Company anticipates
it will receive default notices and does not know the timing and resolution
of the anticipated negotiations. The total outstanding balance of the five
loans at December 31, 2010 was approximately $36.7 million. The net book
value of the properties securing these loans at December 31, 2010 was approximately
$53.2 million. If the Company is unable to renegotiate the loans, it may
be more cost beneficial to pursue a deed in lieu of foreclosure with the
lender(s). If the Company did pursue a deed in lieu of foreclosure it would
record an impairment loss of the difference between the property’s carrying
value and fair value, which could range from $7 million to $11 million based
on estimated values at December 31, 2010. Impact of Inflation Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. Competitive pressures may, however, limit the operators’ ability to raise room rates. Currently the Company is not experiencing any material impact from inflation. Business Interruption Being in the real estate industry, the Company is exposed to natural disasters both locally and nationally, and although management believes there is adequate insurance to cover this exposure, there can be no assurance that such events will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
financial position or results of operations. Seasonality The hotel industry historically has been seasonal in nature. Generally, occupancy rates and hotel revenues are greater in the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth quarters. As a result, there may be quarterly fluctuations in results of operations. To the extent that cash flow from
operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, the Company expects to utilize cash on hand or available credit 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 Company’s financial statements. These principles include application of judgment; therefore, changes in
judgments may have a significant impact on the Company’s 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; (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 industry data, is less than the properties’ carrying
amounts. 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, 28
trends, contingencies or changes in circumstances indicate that a triggering event has occurred and an asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are measured as the difference between the asset’s fair value and its carrying value. No impairment losses have been recorded to date. Recent 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 company’s 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 entity’s 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 entity’s 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 enterprise’s 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 Company’s
consolidated financial statements. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk With the exception of one interest rate swap transaction entered into in October 2010, the Company has not engaged in transactions in derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. The Company entered into the interest rate swap, with a notional amount of $7.0 million and
based on the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), to increase stability related to interest expense on a variable rate loan. The swap is not designated as a hedge, therefore the changes in the fair market value of this transaction are recorded in earnings. The Company recognized a gain of $40,000
in 2010 from the change in fair value of this derivative. As of December 31, 2010, the Company’s 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 and due to its variable interest rate term loans. The Company had an outstanding balance of $51.9 million on its $75 million line of credit at December 31, 2010, and to the extent it utilizes the line of credit, the Company will be exposed to changes in short-
term interest rates. The outstanding balance on the Company’s variable rate term loans was $42.8 million at December 31, 2010. Based on these outstanding balances at December 31, 2010, every 100 basis points change in interest rates will impact the Company’s annual net income by $0.9 million, all
other factors remaining the same. The Company’s cash balance at December 31, 2010 was $0. In addition to its variable rate debt discussed above, the Company has 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 Company’s notes payable and line of credit
outstanding at December 31, 2010. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data REPORT OF MANAGEMENT March 11, 2011 Management of Apple REIT Eight, 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 Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s transactions and dispositions of the Company’s 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 Company’s
management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s 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 Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, management has undertaken an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO Framework). Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this report, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, a copy of which appears on the next page of this
annual report.

(PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING OFFICER)
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON INTERNAL The Board of Directors and Shareholders of We have audited Apple REIT Eight, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Apple REIT
Eight, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained
in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the 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 our opinion, Apple REIT Eight, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the 2010 consolidated financial statements of Apple REIT Eight, Inc. and our report dated March 11, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. /s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP Richmond, Virginia 31

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM The Board of Directors and Shareholders of We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Apple REIT Eight, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2010. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(2). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our
audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Apple REIT Eight, Inc. at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein. We
also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Apple REIT Eight, Inc.’s
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based
on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
(in thousands)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization Apple REIT Eight, 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 January 22, 2007 and operations began on November 9, 2007 when the Company acquired its first hotels. The Company
has no foreign operations or assets and as of December 31, 2010, its operations include two segments. 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 wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries (collectively, the “Lessee”), which lease all of the Company’s 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. The 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 Hotels 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 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; (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 asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are measured as the difference between the asset’s fair value and its carrying value. No impairment losses have been recorded to date. At December 31, 2009 the Company held equity securities classified as available-for-sale, in accordance with the FASB’s pronouncement for accounting for certain investments in debt and equity securities. These securities were included in Other assets, net on the Company’s consolidated balance
sheet at December 31, 37
2009 at fair value of $3.2 million. Unrealized gains were reported as accumulated other comprehensive income, $2.4 million at December 31, 2009. In the first quarter of 2010, the Company sold these equity securities, resulting in a realized gain of $3.0 million which is recorded in Investment income, net
on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized as earned, which is generally defined as the date upon which a guest occupies a room or utilizes the hotel’s services. Comprehensive Income For the year ending December 31, 2009, the Company recorded comprehensive income which resulted from the unrealized gain of $2.4 million from its investment in marketable equity securities. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2008, the Company recorded no comprehensive income other
than net income. Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated after giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding for the year. There were no shares with a
dilutive effect for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 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. 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 distributions in 2010 of $0.77 per share for tax purposes were 42% ordinary income and 58% return of capital (unaudited). Distributions in 2009 of $0.81 per share for tax
purposes were 33% ordinary income and 67% return of capital (unaudited). Distributions in 2008 of $0.88 per share for tax purposes were 53% ordinary income and 47% 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 $36.5 million as of December 31, 2010. The net operating loss carry forward will expire beginning in 2027. There are no material differences
between the book and tax cost basis of the Company’s assets. As of December 31, 2010, the tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions generally include 2007 to 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. 38
Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a pronouncement (Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-17) which amends its guidance surrounding a company’s 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 entity’s 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 entity’s 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 enterprise’s 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
Company’s consolidated financial statements. Note 2 Investment in Hotels As of December 31, 2010, the Company owned 51 hotels, located in nineteen states, consisting of the following:

Acquired
Purchase
Price
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 best-efforts offering to pay 2% of the gross purchase price for these hotels, which equals approximately $19.0 million, as a commission to
ASRG. The purchase price of the hotels plus the ASRG commission and other closing costs were allocated to the various components such as land, buildings and improvements, furniture and equipment, and intangible assets based on the fair value of each component. No goodwill was recorded in connection
with any of the acquisitions. Generally, the Company does not acquire real estate assets that have in-place leases as lease terms for hotel properties are very short term in nature. However, in conjunction with two hotel acquisitions in 2008, one in New York, New York and one in Savannah, Georgia,
amounts were identified and allocated to Intangible liabilities, net in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts are being amortized to rental income and land lease expense over the remaining terms of the associated contracts (terms range from 8-46 years). The total value of these
liabilities was $10.2 million for the New York hotel and $2.4 million for the Savannah, Georgia hotel. The Company has not allocated any purchase price to intangible assets such as management contracts and franchise agreements as such contracts are generally at current market rates and any other value
attributable to these contracts are not considered material. Note 3 Notes Payable and Credit Agreements In conjunction with the acquisition of 15 hotel properties in 2008, the Company assumed mortgage notes payable, secured by the applicable hotel property. The following table summarizes the hotel, current interest rate, maturity date, principal amount assumed and the outstanding balance as of
December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

The interest rate on this mortgage is a variable rate based on 3-month LIBOR. As of December 31, 2010, the current interest rate was 4.97%. (2) The interest rate on this mortgage is a variable rate based on 1-month LIBOR. An interest rate swap entered into in October 2010 when this loan was refinanced, results in an effective rate of 5.3%. (3) Loan was refinanced in 2010. In October 2010, the Company renewed its $75.0 million unsecured line of credit with Branch Banking and Trust Company (“BB&T”), extending the term for 2 years to October 2012. The interest rate on the loan increased to London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.25% with a floor of
3.5%. Additionally, the Company entered into a $25 million term loan with BB&T. The loan is secured by two properties and matures in October 2012. The loan requires interest only payments monthly at LIBOR plus 2.25% with a floor of 3.5%. Both loans have financial covenants requiring a minimum
consolidated net worth and debt service charge and a maximum debt to equity and distribution to income ratio. The line of credit continues to contain a negative 41

there was $51.9 million outstanding on the line of credit at an interest rate of 3.5%.

200,439 A fair value adjustment was recorded for the assumption of above and below market rate mortgage loans in connection with the Company’s hotel acquisitions. These fair value adjustments 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 5.4% to 6.9% at the date of assumption. The total adjustment to interest expense was $340 thousand, $298 thousand and $115 thousand for the years ended December 31,
2010, 2009 and 2008. 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 of the Company’s debt was $200.4 million and $200.5 million. As of December 31, 2009, the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was $184.2 million and $186.0 million. In 2010 in conjunction with its debt refinancing activities, the Company incurred loan origination costs totaling $444 thousand and in 2008 with the assumption of mortgage obligations on purchased hotels and its previous line of credit facility, the Company incurred loan origination costs totaling $1.8
million. All such costs are amortized over the period to maturity of the applicable mortgage loan, or to termination of the applicable credit agreement, as an addition to interest expense. Amortization of such costs totaled $398 thousand, $340 thousand and $168 thousand for the years ended December 31,
2010, 2009 and 2008. The Company’s Interest expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income is net of capitalized interest of $0.1 million, $1.4 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. The interest was capitalized in conjunction with hotel
renovations. Note 4 Shareholders’ Equity The Company concluded its best-efforts offering of Units in April 2008. The Company registered its Units on Registration Statement Form S-11 (File No. 333-140548) filed July 19, 2007. The Company began its best-efforts offering (the “Offering”) of Units, on July 19, 2007, 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 Company’s assets. The priority distribution (“Priority Distribution”) will be equal to $11.00 per Series A 42
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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Eight Advisors, Inc. (“A8A”), or if the Company ceases to use ASRG to provide property acquisition and disposition services; or (3) the Company’s 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 that 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 in excess of $63 million (assumes $11 per Unit fair market value) which represents approximately 5.8 million shares of common stock. In the second quarter of 2008, 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 distributions to purchase additional Units of the Company. The uses of
the proceeds from this plan may include purchasing Units under the Company’s Unit Redemption Program, enhancing properties, satisfying financing obligations and other expenses, increasing working capital, funding various corporate operations, and acquiring hotels. The Company has registered 10
million Units for potential issuance under the plan. Since 43
inception through December 31, 2010, approximately 6.3 million Units were issued under the plan representing approximately $68.9 million, including 2.4 million Units for $26.1 million in 2010 and 2.4 million Units for $26.8 million in 2009. The Company has a Unit Redemption Program to provide limited interim liquidity to its shareholders who have held their Units for at least one year. Shareholders may request redemption of Units for a purchase price equal to 92% of the price paid per Unit if the Units have been owned less than
three years or 100% of the price per Unit if the Units have been owned more than three years. The maximum number of Units that may be redeemed in any 12-month period is three percent of the weighted average number of Units outstanding during the 12-month period immediately prior to the date
of redemption. The Company reserves the right to change the purchase price for 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 2.8 million Units
in the amount of $29.0 million under the program, including 1.4 million Units in the amount of $14.7 million in 2010 and 1.3 million Units in the amount of $13.1 million redeemed in 2009. The Company’s 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. The Company’s annual distribution rate was $0.77 per common share for the year ended December 31, 2010, for a total $72.5 million and was $0.81 for the year ended December 31, 2009, for a total $74.9 million. Note 5 Stock Incentive Plans During 2007, 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. Therefore, the maximum number of Units authorized under the Directors Plan is currently 1,599,545. Also in 2007, 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 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 44
offering of 91,125,541 Units. The maximum number of Units that can be issued under the Incentive Plan 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 75,284, 74,284
and 72,900 Units under the Directors Plan and granted no options under the Incentive Plan. All of the options issued vested at the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $11 per Unit. Activity in the Company’s share option plan during 2010, 2009 and 2008 is summarized in the following table: Year

weighted-average exercise price: $ 11.00 $ 11.00 $ 11.00 The Company records compensation expense related to the issuance of stock options based on a determination of the fair value of options issued. Compensation expense associated with the issuance of stock options was $118 thousand in 2010 and 2009 and $61 thousand in 2008. Note 6 Management and Franchise Agreements Each of the Company’s 51 hotels are operated and managed, under separate management agreements, by affiliates of one of the following companies (indicates the number of hotels managed): Newport Hospitality Group, Inc. (“Newport”) (9), Larry Blumberg & Associates (“LBA”) (3), Western
International (“Western”) (1), Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”) (3), White Lodging Services Corporation (“WLS”) (1), Dimension Development Company (“Dimension”) (4), Inn Ventures, Inc. (“Inn Ventures”) (1), True North Hotel Group, Inc. (“True North”) (7), Intermountain Management,
LLC (“Intermountain”) (7), MHH Management, LLC (“McKibbon”) (7) and Crestline Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (“Crestline”) (8). The agreements provide for initial terms ranging from one to thirty 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 $6.3 million, $6.0 million and $4.5 million in management fees. Newport, LBA, Western, WLS, Dimension, Inn Ventures, True North, Intermountain, McKibbon and Crestline are not affiliated with either Marriott or Hilton, and as a result, the hotels they manage were required to obtain separate franchise agreements with each respective franchisor. The Hilton
franchise agreements generally provide for initial terms of 10 to 20 years. Fees associated with the agreements generally include the payment of royalty fees and program fees. The Marriott franchise agreements provide for initial terms of 10 to 30 years with certain agreements having options to renew.
Fees associated with the 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 $7.1 million, $6.8 million and $5.2 million
in franchise fees. 45

Note 7 Derivative Instruments On October 1, 2010, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixes the interest rate on a variable rate mortgage, bearing interest at one month U.S. dollar LIBOR, originated upon the refinance of the debt associated with the Westford Residence Inn in Westford,
Massachusetts. Under the terms of this interest rate swap, the Company pays a fixed rate interest of 1.80% and receives floating rate interest equal to the one month U.S. dollar LIBOR, effectively fixing the interest at a rate of 5.3%. The notional amount of $7.0 million amortizes in tandem with the
amortization of the underlying debt and was $7.0 million as of December 31, 2010. The swap matures in October 2015. This derivative is recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value of $40 thousand at December 31, 2010 in accordance with the applicable authoritative accounting guidance and is included in Other assets, net. The fair value of the interest rate swap is determined using the
market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or receipts) and the discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments) which is considered a Level 2 measurement within the FASB’s fair value hierarchy. The variable cash receipts (or payments) are based on an
expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. This derivative is not designated as a hedge, and the changes in the fair value are recognized as Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. For the
year ended December 31, 2010, the change in fair value was $40,000. Note 8 Related Parties The Company has significant transactions with related parties. These transactions cannot be construed to be arm’s length, and the results of the Company’s operations may be different if these transactions were conducted with non-related parties. The Company’s independent members of the Board of
Directors oversee and annually review the Company’s 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
Company’s 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 Company’s real estate assets. In accordance with the contract, ASRG is paid a fee of 2% of the gross purchase price of any acquisitions or gross sale price of any
dispositions of real estate investments, subject to certain conditions plus certain reimbursable costs. As of December 31, 2010, payments to ASRG for services under the terms of this contract have totaled approximately $19.0 million since inception, which were capitalized as a part of the purchase price of
the hotels. No fees were incurred by the Company under this contract in 2010 or 2009. The Company is party to an advisory agreement with A8A 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 $2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Of this total expense,
approximately $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million were fees paid to A8A and $1.8 million, $2.0 million and $1.7 million were expenses reimbursed (or paid directly to Apple REIT Six, Inc. (“AR6”) on behalf of A8A) by A8A to AR6 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. The advisors are staffed with personnel of AR6. AR6 provides similar staffing for Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (“A6A”), Apple Seven Advisors, Inc. (“A7A”), Apple Nine Advisors, Inc. (“A9A”) and Apple Ten Advisors, Inc. (“A10A”). A6A, A7A, A9A and A10A provide management services to,
respectively, AR6, Apple REIT 46
Seven, 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 Company’s level of business activity and the extent to which the Company requires the services of particular personnel of AR6. Such payments are based on actual costs 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 employee and/or his or her supervisor of the time devoted by the employee 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 24% ownership interest in Apple Air Holding, LLC (“Apple Air”), purchased by the Company for $3.2 million in cash in January 2009. The other members of Apple Air are Apple REIT Six, Inc., Apple REIT Seven, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc. The interest was purchased
to allow the Company access to two Lear jets for asset management and renovation purposes. The Company has recorded its share of income and losses of the entity under the equity method of accounting and adjusted its investment in Apple Air accordingly. The Company’s ownership interest was $2.2
million at December 31, 2010 and $2.8 million at December 31, 2009, and is included in Other assets, net on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. As its share of the net losses of Apple Air, the Company recorded a $840 thousand loss in 2010 and a $460 thousand loss in 2009, which includes the
depreciation of the aircraft. The increase in the loss is due to the planned trade-in by Apple Air of the two jets for one new jet in January 2011. The Company’s share of net losses is included in General and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and
Comprehensive Income. In October of 2010, Apple REIT Nine, Inc. purchased from the Company’s third party lender, the note payable secured by the Columbia, South Carolina Hilton Garden Inn. The purchase of the note by Apple REIT Nine, Inc. had no financial effect on the Company. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company entered into a series of assignments of contracts with Apple REIT Nine, Inc. (“AR9”) to transfer its rights and obligations under three purchase contracts for four hotels which were under construction. Under the terms and conditions of the contracts,
the Company assigned to AR9 all of its rights and obligations under these purchase contracts. No consideration or fees were paid to the Company for the assignment of the purchase contracts except for the reimbursement of the following payments previously made by the Company: (i) initial deposits
totaling $1.2 million; and (ii) transactional costs paid to third parties totaling approximately $64,000. These reimbursement payments did not constitute or result in a profit or loss for the Company. Note 9 Pro Forma Information (Unaudited) The following unaudited pro forma information for the year ended December 31, 2008, is presented as if the acquisitions of the 51 hotels owned at December 31, 2010 had occurred on the latter of January 1, 2008 or the opening date of the hotel. The pro forma information does not purport to
represent what the Company’s results of operations would actually have been if such transactions, in fact, had occurred on these applicable dates, nor does it purport to represent the results of operations for future periods. The pro forma information reflects adjustments for actual revenues and expenses of the 45 hotels acquired in 2008 for the respective period owned prior to acquisition by the Company. Net income has been adjusted as follows: (1) interest income has been adjusted to reflect the reduction in cash and
cash equivalents required to fund the acquisitions; (2) interest expense related to prior owner’s debt which was not assumed has been 47
eliminated; and (3) depreciation has been adjusted based on the Company’s basis in the hotels. Amounts are in thousands except per share.

One of the lease’s rent is adjusted periodically for consumer price index increases. Two of the leases have defined escalations over the life
of the lease and straight-line rent is being recorded to reflect the average rent over the life of the leases. The accrued straight line lease liability balance at December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $8.3 million and $5.6 million and is recorded in Accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Company’s
Consolidated Balance Sheets. The aggregate amounts of the estimated lease payments pertaining to all land leases, for the five years subsequent to December 31, 2010 and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

Note 11 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. Due to the significance of the New York hotel, the Company has two reportable segments.
The Company does not allocate corporate-level accounts to its operating segments, including corporate general and administrative expenses, non-operating interest income and interest expense. Dollar amounts are in thousands. 48

On January 20, 2011, the Company redeemed 732,647 Units in the amount of $8.0 million under its Unit Redemption Program. As contemplated in the Program, the Company redeemed Units on a pro-rata basis. This redemption was approximately 61% of the requested redemption amount. In February 2011, the Company declared and paid $6.0 million or $0.064167 per common share, in a distribution to its common shareholders, of which $2.2 million or 196,222 Units were reinvested under the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. In
March 2011 the Company requested the loans secured by the Winston-Salem,
North Carolina Courtyard, Tampa, Florida TownePlace Suites, Greenville, South
Carolina Residence Inn and Suffolk, Virginia TownePlace Suites and Courtyard
to be placed with a special servicer to negotiate the terms of the loans.
To have the loans placed with the special servicer the Company did not make
the scheduled monthly debt payments for March 2011. The Company anticipates
it will receive default notices and does not know the timing and resolution
of the anticipated negotiations. The total outstanding balance of the five
loans at December 31, 2010 was approximately $36.7 million. The net book
value of the properties securing these loans at December 31, 2010 was approximately
$53.2 million. If the Company is unable to renegotiate the loans, it may
be more cost beneficial to pursue a deed in lieu of foreclosure with the
lender(s). If the Company did pursue a deed in lieu of foreclosure it would
record an impairment loss of the difference between the property’s carrying
value and fair value, which could range from $7 million to $11 million based
on estimated values at December 31, 2010. 50
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation process, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective and that there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Since that evaluation process was completed, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls. See Item 8 for the Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm’s attestation report regarding internal control over financial reporting. None. 51
