NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in its 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2007.

General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Apple REIT Seven, Inc. together with its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Apple REIT Seven” or the “Company”) is a Virginia corporation that intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. The Company was formed to invest in hotels, residential apartment communities and other selected real estate. The Company’s initial investment in and purchase of commercial real estate property occurred on April 27, 2006. Apple REIT Seven’s initial capitalization occurred on May 26, 2005, when 10 Units (each Unit consisting of one common stock and one Series A preferred share) were purchased by Apple Seven Advisors, Inc. and 240,000 Series B convertible preferred shares were purchased by Mr. Glade M. Knight, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated after giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding for the period. There were no potential common shares with a dilutive effect during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. Series B convertible preferred shares are not included in earnings per common share until such time the Series B convertible preferred shares are converted to common shares.

Use of Estimates

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

Offering Costs

The Company is raising capital through a “best-efforts” offering of Units by David Lerner Associates, Inc., (the “Managing Dealer”), which receives a selling commission and a marketing expense allowance based on proceeds of the Units sold. Additionally, the Company has incurred other offering costs including costs for legal, accounting and reporting services. These offering costs are recorded by the Company as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had sold 48.0 million Units for gross proceeds of $525.2 million and proceeds net of offering costs of $471.2 million.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. This interpretation requires that income tax positions recognized in an entity’s tax returns have a more-likely-than-not chance of being sustained prior to recording the related tax benefit in the financial statements. Tax benefits would be derecognized if information became available which indicated that it was more-likely-than-not that the position would not be sustained. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

The Company assumed approximately $25.5 million of mortgage indebtedness during the first quarter of 2007, associated with three of its hotel acquisitions. The following table summarizes the interest rate, maturity date and principal amount assumed associated with each mortgage. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

           $ 25,480
              

The purchase price net of debt assumed was funded by the Company’s ongoing offering of Units. Additionally, the Company used proceeds from its ongoing offering of Units to pay 2% of the aggregate gross purchase price for the six hotels purchased in the first three months of 2007, totaling $2.0 million, as a brokerage commission to Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. (“ASRG”). This entity is owned by Glade M. Knight, who is one of the Company’s directors and its Chief Executive Officer. These costs have been capitalized to investment in real estate properties.

Fair value adjustments were recorded upon the acquisition of two above market rate mortgage loans in the first quarter of 2007. The premium will be amortized into interest expense over the remaining term of the related indebtedness using a method approximating the effective interest rate method. The unamortized balance of the fair value adjustments for the two loans totaled approximately $520 thousand at March 31, 2007.

At March 31, 2007, the Company’s investment in real estate consisted of the following (in thousands):

 

Land

   $ 45,515  

Building and Improvements

     395,013  

Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment

     15,278

     (5,831 )
        

Investment in Real Estate, net

   $ 449,975  
        

As of March 31, 2007, the Company has entered into purchase contracts for 17 additional hotels. Nine of the hotels were under construction as of March 31, 2007, with completion expected within the next nine months. Although the Company believes there is a reasonable probability that it will acquire these hotels, there can be no assurance that all of the conditions to closing will be satisfied. Contract deposits for these hotels are included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2007, and in deposits and other disbursements for potential acquisition of hotel properties in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The following table summarizes the location, brand, gross purchase price, refundable contract deposits, and number of rooms for each hotel. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

Note 3

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 at arms length, and the results of the Company’s operations may be different than if conducted with non-related parties.

The Company has entered into a Property Acquisition and Disposition Agreement with ASRG, to acquire and dispose of real estate assets for the Company. A fee of 2% of the gross purchase price or gross sale price, in addition to certain reimbursable expenses, is payable for these services. Through March 31, 2007, the Company has paid ASRG $8.8 million. Fees paid to ASRG for property acquisitions are capitalized as part of the purchase price of the properties. Additionally, the Company has entered into an advisory agreement with Apple Seven Advisors, Inc. (“ASA”), to provide management of the Company and its assets. An annual fee ranging from .1% to .25% of total gross equity proceeds received by the Company, in addition to certain reimbursable expenses, is payable for these services. ASA utilizes Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. (“AHT”) to provide these services. Advisory fees and other reimbursable expenses incurred by the Company under the ASA advisory agreement during the three month period ended March 31, 2007 were $377 thousand, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. ASRG and ASA are owned by Glade M. Knight, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company. Mr. Knight also serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AHT and of other real estate investment trusts. Members of the Company’s Board of Director’s are also on the Board of Directors of AHT and/or Apple Hospitality Five, Inc.

Note 4

Line of Credit

The Company entered into an unsecured line of credit facility for working capital and short-term acquisition funding in December 2006. The credit facility provides for a maximum aggregate commitment by the lender, a commercial bank, totaling $150 million, and has a scheduled maturity in December 2007. The applicable interest rate under the line of credit is equal to LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate) plus 2.0%. In conjunction with the acquisition of two hotels in December 2006, the Company utilized the line of credit by borrowing $18.0 million to fund a portion of the aggregate purchase price. The principal amount borrowed under the line of credit was repaid in full in January 2007; there was no balance outstanding under the line of credit at March 31, 2007.

Note 5

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company has issued 240,000 Series B convertible preferred shares to Glade M. Knight, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President 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.

 

9


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, 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 a number of common shares based upon the gross proceeds raised through the date of conversion in the $1 billion offering according to the following table:

 

Gross Proceeds Raised

from Sales of Units through

Date of Conversion

  

Number of Common Shares

through Conversion of
One Series B Convertible Preferred Share

$    500 million

   12.11423

$    550 million

   13.31991

$    600 million

   14.52559

$    650 million

   15.73128

$    700 million

   16.93696

$    750 million

   18.14264

$    800 million

   19.34832

$    850 million

   20.55400

$    900 million

   21.75968

$    950 million

   22.96537

$        1 billion

   24.17104

In the event that after raising gross proceeds of $1 billion, 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.

Compensation expense related to issuance of 240,000 Series B convertible preferred shares to Mr. Knight will be recognized at such time when the number of common shares to be issued for conversion of the Series B shares can be reasonably estimated and the event triggering the conversion of the Series B shares to common shares 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 amount paid for the Series B shares. Although the fair market value cannot be determined at this time, compensation expense if the maximum offering is achieved could range from $0 to in excess of $63 million (assumes $11 per unit fair market value).

Pro Forma Information

The following unaudited pro forma information for the three months ended March 31, 2007, is presented as if the acquisitions of the six hotels acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2007 had occurred on the latter of January 1, 2007 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 Hilton Garden Inn hotel in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, which was purchased on March 9, 2007, is a newly constructed hotel and opened in March 2007.

Overview

Apple REIT Seven, Inc. together with its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a Virginia corporation that intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. The Company, which owned 24 hotel properties as of March 31, 2007 and has a limited operating history, was formed to invest in hotels, residential apartment communities and other selected real estate. Initial capitalization occurred on May 26, 2005, when 10 Units (each Unit consisting of one common share and one Series A preferred share) were purchased by Apple Seven Advisors, Inc. and 240,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred shares were purchased by Mr. Glade M. Knight, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Although hotel performance can be influenced by many factors including local competition, local and general economic conditions in the United States and the performance of individual managers assigned to each hotel, performance of the hotels, in general, has met the Company’s expectations for the period owned. 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 and revenue per available room, and expenses, such as hotel operating expenses, general and administrative and other expenses described below. The following is a summary of results for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

The total gross purchase price for all 24 hotels of $441.4 million was funded primarily by the Company’s ongoing best efforts offering of Units. The Company also assumed existing mortgage loans on five of the hotel properties purchased. The Company leases all of its hotels to its wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary (or a subsidiary thereof) under hotel lease agreements. The Company also used the proceeds of its offering to pay $8.8 million, representing 2% of the gross purchase price for these hotels, as a commission to Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. (“ASRG”), 100% owned by Glade M. Knight, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

 

14


Of the Company’s 24 hotels owned at March 31, 2007, six were purchased during the first quarter of 2007. The total gross purchase price for these six hotels, with a total of 718 rooms, was $102.0 million.

Results of Operations

During the period from the Company’s initial formation on May 26, 2005 to April 26, 2006, the company owned no properties, had no revenue exclusive of interest income, and was primarily engaged in capital formation activities. Operations commenced on April 27, 2006 with the Company’s first property acquisition. A comparison of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 to prior year results is therefore not meaningful. In general, the performance of the Company’s hotels during their initial period of ownership has met expectations. Hotel performance is impacted by many factors including local hotel competition, and local and national economic conditions in the United States. As a result of these factors, there can be no assurance that the Company’s operating performance will continue to meet expectations.

Revenues

The Company’s principal source of revenue is hotel room revenue and related other revenue related to hotel operations. Hotel operations included in the consolidated statement of operations are for the Company’s 24 hotels acquired through March 31, 2007, for the respective period of ownership for each property. For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, the Company had total revenue of $22.5 million. For this three month period the hotels achieved combined average occupancy of approximately 73%, average daily rate (“ADR”) of $122 and revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) of $89. These rates are comparable with industry and brand averages, given the Company’s portfolio of hotel properties at March 31, 2007. ADR, or average daily rate, is calculated as room revenue divided by the number of rooms sold, and RevPAR, or revenue per available room, is calculated as ADR multiplied by the occupancy percentage.

Expenses

For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, hotel direct expenses of the Company’s hotels totaled $12.2 million. As a percentage of total revenue, hotel direct expenses were 54% of total revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2007. 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.

Taxes, insurance, and other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 totaled $1.6 million, representing 7% of total revenue for the period. General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 totaled $675 thousand. For the first quarter of 2007, general and administrative expenses represented 3% of total revenues.

Depreciation expense was $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2007. This amount represents depreciation expense of the Company’s hotel buildings and related improvements, and associated furniture, fixtures and equipment, for the respective periods owned.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, the Company recognized interest income of $425 thousand. Interest income represents earnings on excess cash invested in short term money market instruments. Interest expense during the three month period ended March 31, 2007 totaled $861 thousand, and primarily represents interest expense incurred on mortgage loans assumed on five hotel properties as of March 31, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

 

15


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

From the Company’s initial capitalization on May 26, 2005 through March 31, 2007, the Company incurred costs of approximately $54.0 million related to its offering. These costs are reflected as a reduction to shareholders’ equity. As of March 31, 2007, the Company has closed on a total of 48.0 million Units, representing gross proceeds and proceeds net of offering costs of approximately $525.2 million and $471.2 million, respectively.

To maintain its REIT status the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its ordinary income. Distributions during the first three months of 2007 totaled $8.8 million and were paid monthly at a rate of $0.073334 per common share, and included a return of capital. For the same period the Company’s cash generated from operations was approximately $4.4 million. Due to the inherent delay between raising capital and investing that same capital in income producing real estate, the Company has had significant amounts of cash earning interest at short term money market rates. As a result, the difference between distributions paid and cash generated from operations has been funded from proceeds from our offering of Units, and this portion of distributions is expected to be treated as a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. The Company intends to continue paying dividends on a monthly basis, at an annualized dividend rate of $0.88 per common share. Since a portion of distributions has to date been funded with proceeds from the offering of Units, the Company’s ability to maintain its current intended rate of distribution will be based on its ability to fully invest its offering proceeds and thereby increase its cash generated from operations. Since there can be no assurance of the Company’s ability to acquire properties that provide income at this level, or that the properties already acquired will provide income at this level, there can be no assurance as to the classification or duration of distributions at the current rate. Proceeds of the offering which are distributed are not available for investment in properties.

The Company has on-going capital commitments to fund its capital improvements. The Company is required, under all of the hotel management agreements, to make available for the repair, replacement or refurbishing of furniture, fixtures, and equipment, an amount between 2% to 5% of gross revenues of the applicable hotel, provided that such amount may be used for the Company’s capital expenditures with respect to the applicable hotel. The Company expects that this amount will be adequate to fund required repair, replacement, and refurbishments and to maintain the Company’s hotels in a competitive condition. As of March 31, 2007, the Company held $4.3 million in restricted cash accounts for capital improvement purposes.

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

As of March 31, 2007, the Company had entered into purchase contracts for 17 additional hotels. Nine of these hotels were under construction as of March 31, 2007, with completion expected within the next nine months. Although the Company believes there is a reasonable probability that it will acquire these hotels, there can be no assurance that all of the conditions to closing will be satisfied. Contract deposits for these hotels are included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2007. The following table summarizes the location, brand, gross purchase price, refundable contract deposits, and number of rooms for each hotel. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

Related Party Transactions

The Company has, and is expected to continue to engage in, significant transactions with related parties. These transactions cannot be construed to be at arms length, and the results of the Company’s operations may be different than if conducted with non-related parties.

The Company has entered into a Property Acquisition and Disposition Agreement with ASRG, to acquire and dispose of real estate assets for the Company. A fee of 2% of the gross purchase price or gross sale price, in addition to certain reimbursable expenses, is payable for these services. Through March 31, 2007, the Company has paid ASRG $8.8 million. Fees paid to ASRG for property acquisitions are capitalized as part of the purchase price of the properties. Additionally, the Company has entered into an advisory agreement with Apple Seven Advisors, Inc. (“ASA”), to provide management of the Company and its assets. An annual fee ranging from .1% to .25% of total gross equity proceeds received by the Company, in addition to certain reimbursable expenses, is payable for these services. ASA utilizes Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. (“AHT”) to provide these services. Advisory fees and other reimbursable expenses incurred by the Company under the ASA advisory agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2007 were $377 thousand, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. ASRG and ASA are owned by Glade M. Knight, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company. Mr. Knight also serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AHT and of other real estate investment trusts. Members of the Company’s Board of Director’s are also on the Board of Directors of AHT and/or Apple Hospitality Five, Inc.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized 240,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock. The Company has issued 240,000 Series B convertible preferred shares to Glade M. Knight, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President 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.

 

17


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, 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 a number of common shares based upon the gross proceeds raised through the date of conversion in the $1 billion offering made by this prospectus according to the following table:

 

Gross Proceeds Raised from Sales of

Units through Date of Conversion

 

Number of Common Shares through Conversion of

  22.96537

$        1 billion

  24.17104

In the event that after raising gross proceeds of $1 billion, 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.

 

18


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.

Compensation expense related to issuance of 240,000 Series B convertible preferred shares to Mr. Knight will be recognized at such time when the number of common shares to be issued for conversion of the Series B shares can be reasonably estimated and the event triggering the conversion of the Series B shares to common shares 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. Although the fair market value cannot be determined at this time, compensation expense if the maximum offering is achieved could range from $0 to in excess of $63 million (assumes $11 per unit fair market value).

Subsequent Events

On April 4, 2007, the Company entered into a purchase contract for the potential purchase of a Homewood Suites hotel in Memphis, Tennessee. The gross purchase price for the 140 room hotel is $11.1 million, and a refundable deposit of $100 thousand was paid by the Company in connection with the contract.

On April 16, 2007, the Company paid $.073334 per outstanding common share, totaling $3.5 million, in a dividend distribution to its common shareholders.

During April 2007, the Company closed on the issuance of 4.1 million Units, representing gross proceeds to the Company of $45.6 million and proceeds net of selling and marketing costs of $41.1 million. In addition, during April the Company redeemed 21,689 Units for $215 thousand, under the guidelines established by the Company’s Unit Redemption Program.

On April 24, 2007, the Company completed the purchase of a Courtyard hotel in Prattville, Alabama. The gross purchase price was $9.3 million for this newly opened hotel with 84 rooms.

On April 24, 2007, the Company completed the purchase of a Courtyard hotel in Lakeland, Florida. The gross purchase price was $9.8 million for this 78 room hotel. In connection with the purchase, the Company assumed an existing mortgage loan of $4.2 million. The mortgage loan has a maturity date of January 2013, and an interest rate of 6.8%.

On April 24, 2007, the Company completed the purchase of a Fairfield Inn hotel in Tallahassee, Florida. The gross purchase price was $6.6 million for this 79 room hotel. In connection with the purchase, the Company assumed an existing mortgage loan of $3.5 million. The mortgage loan has a maturity date of January 2013, and an interest rate of 6.8%.

On April 24, 2007, the Company completed the purchase of a Fairfield Inn hotel in Columbus, Georgia. The gross purchase price was $7.3 million for this 79 room hotel.

Impact of Inflation

Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. Competitive pressures may, however, limit the operators’ ability to raise room rates. Currently the Company is not experiencing any material impact from inflation.

Business Interruption

Being in the real estate industry, the Company is exposed to natural disasters on both a local and national

 

19


scale. Although management believes there is adequate insurance to cover this exposure, there can be no assurance that such events will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Seasonality

The hotel industry historically has been seasonal in nature. Seasonal variations in occupancy at its hotels may cause quarterly fluctuations in its revenues. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, the Company expects to utilize cash on hand to make distributions.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. This interpretation requires that income tax positions recognized in an entity’s tax returns have a more-likely-than-not chance of being sustained prior to recording the related tax benefit in the financial statements. Tax benefits would be derecognized if information became available which indicated that it was more-likely-than-not that the position would not be sustained. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

The Company does not engage in transactions in derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. As of March 31, 2007, the Company’s financial instruments were not exposed to significant market risk due to interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk. The Company will be exposed to changes in short term money market rates as it invests the proceeds from its sale of Units pending use in acquisitions. Based on the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances at March 31, 2007 of $48.6 million, every 100 basis points change in interest rates will impact the Company’s annual net income by approximately $486 thousand, all other factors remaining the same. Cash invested pending acquisitions will vary substantially during the current year based on the amount of proceeds raised and the timing and purchase price, net of any debt assumed, of property acquisitions. Additionally, the Company may be exposed to changes in short term money market rates should it have outstanding borrowings under its line of credit debt facility, which has an interest rate tied to the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The Company had no outstanding balance under this borrowing facility at March 31, 2007.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

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