DEAR SHAREHOLDER, Key indicators of hotel performance including occupancy, average daily rate and revenue per available room have improved across the U.S. hotel industry in 2012 and according to industry analysts the outlook for the remainder of the year is positive. The Apple REIT Seven, Inc. portfolio includes 51 Marriott®- and Hilton®-branded hotels that are strategically located in diversified markets across 18 states, and I am optimistic the Company will continue to see improvements during 2012.



I am pleased to report the Apple REIT Seven portfolio of hotels achieved revenue per available room (RevPAR) of $87 for the second quarter of 2012, an increase of two percent as compared to the same period of 2011. The average occupancy rate for the second quarter of this year was 77 percent and the average daily rate (ADR) was $114, these measures were approximately one percent and three percent ahead of comparable results from last year, respectively. For the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, RevPAR was $84, up by approximately four percent in comparison to the same period last year.

Funds from operations (FFO) for the second quarter of this year totaled $16.8 million, or $0.18 per share, and for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, FFO was $30.9 million, or $0.34 per share. As compared to the same periods of 2011, FFO for the second quarter of this year improved by one percent and for the first six months of the year improved by approximately three percent. Over the first six months of the year, the Company paid distributions of approximately $0.385 per share. The current annualized distribution rate for the Company is $0.77 per share. Our annualized distribution rate is closely monitored, taking into account varying economic cycles and capital improvements, as well as current and projected hotel performance. Although we strive for consistency over the life of our program, we may make adjustments as needed, based

on available cash resources. For reference, since the time of the Company’s first distribution payment through July 31, 2012, we have paid approximately $5.22 per share, or $412 million, in shareholder distributions.

As always, we encourage our shareholders to know their investment and stay informed by reviewing information on our website at www.applereitseven.com, as well as our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which can be found on their website at www.sec.gov.

Throughout the history of Apple REIT Seven, our team has remained focused on maximizing shareholder value through the ownership of lodging real estate. Our portfolio includes high-quality, well-branded hotels and our balance sheet is among the strongest in our industry, with a debt level of approximately 19 percent as compared to our total initial capitalization. As the hotel industry continues to see improvement, I believe the Company is well positioned for the future. I look forward to sharing our continued progress with you in upcoming shareholder communications.

 

Sincerely,

 

-s- Glade M. Knight

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

(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. FFO is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

The financial information furnished reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position at June 30, 2012 and the results of operations for the interim period ended June 30, 2012. Such interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the full year. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes appearing in the Apple REIT Seven, Inc. 2011 Annual Report.
