PART I

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. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by use of terms such as “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “target,” “goal,” “plan,” “should,” “will,” “predict,” “potential,” and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of Apple REIT Six, 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; the outcome of current and future litigation, regulatory proceedings or inquiries; 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 in this report. Any forward-looking statement that the Company makes speaks only as of the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or cautionary factors as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Item 1. Business

The Company is a Virginia corporation that was formed in January 2004 to invest in income-producing real estate in the United States. Initial capitalization occurred on January 20, 2004 and operations began on May 28, 2004 when the Company acquired its first hotel. As of December 31, 2011, the Company owned 66 hotels operating in 18 states.

The Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) which owns hotels in the United States. The Company has wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries which lease all of the Company’s hotels from wholly-owned qualified REIT subsidiaries. The hotels are operated and managed by affiliates of Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”), Stonebridge Realty Advisors, Inc. (“Stonebridge”), Hilton Worldwide (“Hilton”), Western International (“Western”), Larry Blumberg & Associates (“LBA”), White Lodging Services Corporation (“White”), Inn Ventures, Inc. (“Inn Ventures”), and Newport Hospitality Group, Inc. (“Newport”) under separate hotel management agreements.

The Company has no foreign operations or assets and its operating structure includes only one segment. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. Refer to Part II, Item 8 of this report, for the consolidated financial statements.

Website Access

The address of the Company’s Internet website is www.applereitsix.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 reasonably practicable after the Company electronically files such material with, or furnishes it to, the SEC. Information contained on the Company’s website is not incorporated by reference into this report.

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. This strategy includes utilizing the Company’s asset management expertise to improve the quality of the Company’s hotels by aggressively managing room rates, partnering with industry leaders in hotel management and franchising the hotels with leading brands, thereby improving the performance of an individual hotel in its local market. When cost effective, the Company renovates its properties to increase its ability to compete in particular markets. The Company believes its planned renovations and strong asset management of its portfolio will continue to increase each hotel’s performance in its individual market, although there can be no assurance of such results.

Financing

The Company has five notes payable outstanding assumed in conjunction with the acquisition of hotels. These notes have maturity dates ranging from January 2013 to December 2014, and stated interest rates ranging from 6.4% to 6.93%. The Company also has a $60 million unsecured credit facility with a commercial bank that is utilized for working capital, hotel renovations, and other general corporate funding purposes, including the payment of redemptions and distributions. The Company refinanced the credit facility in September 2011 with its existing lender. The outstanding principal balance of the credit facility was $43.7 million at December 31, 2011, which matures on September 8, 2013 and may be prepaid without penalty. Interest payments are due monthly and the applicable interest rate is equal to the applicable LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate) plus 3.5%. The LIBOR floor under the previous agreement was removed, therefore reducing the Company’s effective interest rate. The effective interest rate for borrowings under the credit facility at December 31, 2011 was 3.82%. The credit facility also has an unused fee of 0.35% if the average outstanding quarterly balance is greater than $30 million and 0.5% if the average outstanding quarterly balance is less than $30 million. The Company anticipates that cash flow from operations and the credit facility will be adequate to meet its anticipated liquidity requirements, including debt service, capital improvements, required distributions to shareholders (the Company is not required to make distributions at its current rate for REIT purposes) and planned Unit redemptions. The Company intends to maintain a relatively stable distribution rate with varying economic cycles. If cash flow from operations and the credit facility are not adequate to meet liquidity requirements, the Company will attempt if necessary 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 its maturing debt in future periods or if it were to default on its debt it may be unable to make distributions or redemptions. 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 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 (“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

As of December 31, 2011, the Company owned 66 hotels consisting of fourteen Hilton Garden Inn hotels, ten Residence Inn hotels, ten Courtyard hotels, seven SpringHill Suites hotels, six Homewood Suites hotels, five TownePlace Suites hotels, five Fairfield Inn hotels, four Hampton Inn hotels, three Hampton Inn & Suites hotels and two full service Marriott hotels. They are located in 18 states and, in aggregate, consist of 7,658 rooms. The Company sold two hotels located in Tempe, Arizona in June 2011. The results of operations of these two hotels are classified as discontinued operations.

Room revenue from continuing operations totaled $220.2 million in 2011, and the hotels achieved average occupancy of 72%, ADR of $110 and RevPAR of $79, compared with $206.6 million of room revenue, average

3


occupancy of 71%, ADR of $104 and RevPAR of $74 in 2010. Hotel performance is impacted by many factors including the economic conditions in the United States as well as each locality. During the period from the second half of 2008 through 2010, the overall weakness in the U.S. economy had a considerable negative impact on both consumer and business travel. As a result, revenue in most markets in the United States declined from levels of 2007 and the first half of 2008. However, economic conditions have shown evidence of improvement in 2011. Although the industry in general has revenue below pre-recession levels, during the past two years the industry and the Company have experienced an increase in demand, as shown by improved occupancy rates during this period. In addition, also signifying a stabilizing economy, the Company experienced an increase in ADR of 6% during 2011 as compared to the prior year. With continued improvement, in both demand and room rates the Company and industry are forecasting a mid single digit percentage increase in revenue for 2012 as compared to 2011. While reflecting the impact of post-recessionary levels of single-digit growth in national economic activity, the Company’s hotels on average also continue to be leaders in their respective markets. The Company’s average Market Yield was 121 in both 2011 and 2010. The Market Yield is a measure of each hotel’s RevPAR compared to the average in the market, with 100 being the average (the index excludes hotels under renovation) and is provided by Smith Travel Research, Inc.Ò, an independent company that tracks historical hotel performance in most markets throughout the world. The Company will continue to pursue market opportunities to improve revenue. See the Company’s complete financial statements in Item 8 of this report.

Management and Franchise Agreements

Each of the Company’s 66 hotels are operated and managed, under separate management agreements, by affiliates of one of the following companies: Marriott, Stonebridge, Hilton, Western, LBA, White, Inn Ventures or Newport. The agreements have remaining terms ranging from 1 to 23 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, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred approximately $8.0 million, $7.0 million and $6.6 million in management fees for continuing operations.

Stonebridge, Western, LBA, White, Inn Ventures and Newport are not affiliated with either Marriott or Hilton, and as a result, the hotels managed by these companies were required to obtain separate franchise agreements with each respective franchisor. The Hilton franchise agreements generally provide for an initial term of 13 to 20 years. Fees associated with the Hilton agreements generally include the payment of royalty fees and program fees based on room revenues. The Marriott franchise agreements provide for an initial term of 15 to 20 years. Fees associated with the Marriott agreements include the payment of royalty fees, marketing fees, reservation fees and a communications support fee based on room revenues. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred approximately $9.9 million, $9.3 million and $8.8 million in franchise fees for continuing operations.

The franchise and/or management agreements provide a variety of benefits for the Company, which include national advertising, publicity, and other marketing programs designed to increase brand awareness, training of personnel, continuous review of quality standards, centralized reservation systems and best practices within the industry.

Maintenance and Renovation

The 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 are directly funded by the Company. During 2011 and 2010 the Company spent approximately $14.1 million and $8.2 million on capital improvements.

4


Employees

During 2011, 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. At December 31, 2011, a subsidiary of the Company (Apple Fund Management, LLC) had 50 employees. These employees not only provide support to the Company, but as discussed below, they also provide support to various related parties.

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. No material remediation costs have occurred or are expected to occur. Under various laws, owners as well as tenants and operators of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up or remove hazardous substances present at or migrating from properties they own, lease or operate and may be held liable for property damage or personal injuries that result from hazardous substances. These laws also expose the Company to the possibility that it may become liable to reimburse governments for damages and costs they incur in connection with hazardous substances.

Seasonality

The hotel industry historically has been seasonal in nature. Seasonal variations in occupancy at the Company’s 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 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 at 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 during the year ended December 31, 2011. 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 Six Realty Group (“A6RG”), a related party, to provide brokerage services for the acquisition and disposition of the Company’s real estate assets. In accordance with the contract, A6RG 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, 2011, payments to A6RG for services under the terms of this contract have totaled $16.9 million since inception which were capitalized as a part of the purchase price of the hotels. No fees were incurred during 2011, 2010 and 2009 under the contract.

The Company is party to an advisory agreement with Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (“A6A”), pursuant to which A6A provides management services to the Company. An annual fee ranging from 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 incurred by the Company under the advisory agreement are included in general and administrative expenses and totaled $1.5 million for each of the three years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Apple Fund Management, LLC (“AFM”), the Company provides support services to A6RG, Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. (“ASRG”), A6A, Apple Seven Advisors, Inc. (“A7A”), Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple Eight Advisors, Inc. (“A8A”), Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple Nine Advisors, Inc. (“A9A”), Apple REIT Nine, Inc., Apple Ten Advisors, Inc. (“A10A”) and Apple REIT Ten,

5


Inc. A7A provides day to day advisory and administrative functions for Apple REIT Seven, Inc. A8A provides day to day advisory and administrative functions for Apple REIT Eight, Inc. A9A provides day to day advisory and administrative functions for Apple REIT Nine, Inc. A10A provides day to day advisory and administrative functions for Apple REIT Ten, Inc. ASRG provides real estate brokerage services to Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc. and Apple REIT Ten, Inc. Each of these companies has agreed to reimburse the Company for its costs in providing these services. A6RG, ASRG, A6A, A7A, A8A, A9A and A10A are 100% owned by Glade Knight, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company received reimbursement of its costs totaling $7.2 million, $6.1 million and $5.9 million from the participating entities. The Company’s net allocated cost for these support services was approximately $1.5 million, $1.7 million and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. As part of this arrangement, the day to day transactions may result in amounts due to or from the noted related parties. To effectively 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 companies are reimbursed or collected and are not significant in amount.

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 the Company include both compensation for personnel and “overhead” (office rent, utilities, benefits, office supplies, etc.) utilized by the companies. AFM receives its direction for staffing and compensation from the advisory companies (A6A, A7A, A8A, A9A, A10A, ASRG, and A6RG) each of which is wholly owned by Glade M. Knight. Since the employees of AFM may also perform services for the advisors, individuals, including executive officers, have received and may receive consideration directly from the advisors. The allocation of costs 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. The costs allocated are actual costs and do not include any profit/markup for the Company. Such payments 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 each Company.

Including A6RG, ASRG, A6A, A7A, A8A, A9A and A10A discussed above, Mr. Knight is also Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, 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 Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc.

Included in other assets, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, is a 26% equity investment in Apple Air Holding, LLC (“Apple Air”). The other members of Apple Air are Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc. Through its equity investment the Company has access to Apple Air’s aircraft for asset management and renovation purposes. The Company’s equity investment in Apple Air was approximately $1.7 million and $1.8 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company has recorded its share of income or losses of the entity under the equity method of accounting and adjusted its investment in Apple Air accordingly. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $0.2 million and $0.9 million as its share of the net loss of Apple Air, which primarily relates to the depreciation of the aircraft and the reduction in basis of the aircraft in 2010 due to the planned trade in for one new airplane in 2011, and is included in general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Apple Air owned two aircraft during 2010, but reduced its ownership to one aircraft during the first quarter of 2011.

The Company has incurred legal fees associated with the Legal Proceedings and Related Matters discussed herein. The Company also incurs other professional fees such as accounting, auditing and reporting. These fees are included in general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. To be cost effective, these services received by the Company are shared as applicable across the other Apple REIT Companies (Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc., and Apple REIT Ten, Inc.). The professionals cannot always specifically identify their fees for one company therefore management allocates these costs across the companies that benefit from the services.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following describes several risk factors which are applicable to the Company. There are many factors that may affect the Company’s business and results of operations. You should carefully consider, in addition to the other information contained in this report, the risks described below.

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 Local and National Economic Conditions

Changes in general local or national 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 operating results and the value of properties that the Company owns. Additionally, these items, among others, may reduce the availability of capital to the Company. As a result, cash available to make distributions to shareholders may be affected.

Current General Economic Environment in the Lodging Industry

The United States continues to be in a post-recessionary low-growth environment, which has experienced historically high levels of unemployment. Uncertainty over the depth and duration of this economic environment continues to have a negative impact on the lodging industry. There is some general consensus among economists that the economy in the United States emerged from a recessionary environment in 2009, but high unemployment levels and sluggish business and consumer travel trends were evident in both 2010 and 2011. As a result, the Company and the industry continue to experience reduced revenue as compared to pre-recessionary periods. Accordingly, the Company’s financial results have been impacted by the economic environment, and future financial results and growth could be further harmed until a more expansive national economic environment is prevalent. A weaker than anticipated economic recovery, or a return to a recessionary national economic environment, could result in low or decreased levels of business and consumer travel, negatively impacting the lodging industry. Such an economic outcome could also negatively impact the Company’s future growth prospects and results of operations.

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 (subject to policy deductibles). However, the Company is not insured against the potential negative effect a terrorist attack or natural disaster would have on the hospitality industry as a whole.

Seasonality

The hotel industry is seasonal in nature. Generally, occupancy rates and hotel revenues are greater in the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth quarters. As a result, there may be quarterly fluctuations in results of operations and the Company may need to enter into short-term borrowing in certain periods in order to offset these fluctuations in revenues and to make distributions to shareholders.

Franchise Agreements

The Company’s wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries operate all of the properties pursuant to franchise or license agreements with nationally recognized hotel brands. These 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.

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 Company’s issued and outstanding shares may be owned directly or indirectly by five or fewer individuals. Therefore, the Company’s bylaws provide that no person may own more than 9.8% of the issued and outstanding Units. Any purported transfer of our 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

8


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 shareholder would differ from a distribution from operating cash flows. For example, if financing is the source of a distribution, that financing would have to be repaid, and if proceeds from the offering of Units are distributed, those proceeds would not then be available for other uses (such as property acquisitions or improvements).

Financing Risks

Although the Company anticipates maintaining low levels of debt, it may periodically use short-term financing to perform renovations to its properties, make shareholder distributions or planned Unit redemptions 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 its cash requirements.

Securities Class Action Lawsuits and Governmental Regulatory Oversight Risks

As a result of regulatory inquiries or other regulatory actions, or as a result of being publicly held, the Company may become subject to lawsuits. A subsidiary of the Company is currently subject to one securities class action lawsuit and other suits may be filed against the Company in the future. Due to the preliminary status of the lawsuit and uncertainties related to litigation, the Company is unable at this time to evaluate the likelihood of either a favorable or unfavorable outcome or to estimate the range of potential exposure. If the outcome is unfavorable, the Company may be required to pay damages and/or change its business practices, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The ability of the Company to access capital markets, including commercial debt markets, could be negatively impacted by unfavorable, or the possibility of unfavorable, outcomes to lawsuits or adverse regulatory actions.

The Company has been and may continue to be subject to regulatory inquiries, which have resulted in and which could continue to result in costs and personnel time commitment to respond. It may also be subject to action by governing regulatory agencies, as a result of its activities, which could result in costs to respond and fines or changes in the Company’s business practices, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources, and cash flows of the Company.

Technology is used in operations, and any material failure, inadequacy, interruption or security failure of that technology could harm the business.

The Company and its hotel managers and franchisors rely on information technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to process, transmit and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes, including financial transactions and records, personal identifying information, reservations, billing and operating data. Some of the information technology is purchased from vendors, on whom the systems depend. The Company and its hotel managers and franchisors rely on commercially available and internally developed systems, software, tools and monitoring to provide security for processing, transmission and storage of confidential operator and other customer information, such as individually identifiable information, including information relating to financial accounts. Although the Company and its hotel managers and franchisors have taken steps necessary to protect the security of their information systems and the data maintained in those systems, it is possible that the safety and security measures taken will not be able to prevent the systems’ improper functioning or damage, or the improper access or disclosure of personally identifiable information such as in the event of cyber attacks. Security breaches, including physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, attacks by hackers and similar breaches, can create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. Any failure to maintain proper function, security and availability of information systems could interrupt operations, damage reputation, subject us to liability claims or regulatory penalties and could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The term the “Apple REIT Companies” means the Company, Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc. and Apple REIT Ten, Inc.

On December 13, 2011, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York ordered that three putative class actions, Kronberg, et al. v. David Lerner Associates, Inc., et al., Kowalski v. Apple REIT Ten, Inc., et al., and Leff v. Apple REIT Ten, Inc., et al., be consolidated and amended the caption of the consolidated matter to be In re Apple REITs Litigation. The District Court also appointed lead plaintiffs and lead counsel for the consolidated action and ordered lead plaintiffs to file and serve a consolidated complaint by February 17, 2012. The parties agreed to a schedule for answering or otherwise responding to the complaint and that briefing on any motion to dismiss the complaint will be concluded by June 18, 2012. The Company was previously named as a party in the Kronberg, et al. v. David Lerner Associates, Inc., et al. class action lawsuit.

On February 17, 2012, lead plaintiffs and lead counsel in the In re Apple REITs Litigation, Civil Action No. 1:11-cv-02919-KAM-JO, filed an amended consolidated complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company, Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc., Apple Eight Advisors, Inc., Apple Nine Advisors, Inc., Apple Ten Advisors, Inc., Apple Fund Management, LLC, Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc. and Apple REIT Ten, Inc., their directors and certain officers, and David Lerner Associates, Inc. and David Lerner. The consolidated complaint, purportedly brought on behalf of all purchasers of Units in the Company and the other Apple REIT Companies, or those who otherwise acquired these Units that were offered and sold to them by David Lerner Associates, Inc., or its affiliates and on behalf of subclasses of shareholders in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Florida, asserts claims under Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The consolidated complaint also asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and unjust enrichment, and claims for violation of the securities laws of Connecticut and Florida. The complaint seeks, among other things, certification of a putative nationwide class and the state subclasses, damages, rescission of share purchases and other costs and expenses.

On February 16, 2012, one shareholder of the Company and Apple REIT Seven, Inc., filed a putative class action lawsuit captioned Laurie Brody v. David Lerner Associates, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:12-cv-782-ERK-RER, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company, Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Glade M. Knight, Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc., David Lerner Associates, Inc., and certain executives of David Lerner Associates, Inc. The complaint, purportedly brought on behalf of all purchasers of Units of the Company and Apple REIT Seven, Inc., or those who otherwise acquired these Units, asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, negligence, breach of written or implied contract (against the David Lerner Associates, Inc. defendants only), and for violation of New Jersey’s state securities laws. Counsel for the plaintiff in Laurie Brody v. David Lerner Associates et. al. has consented to consolidating this case into the In re Apple REITs Litigation.

13


The Company believes that any claims against it, its officers and directors and other Apple entities are without merit, and intends to defend against them vigorously. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of these proceedings or provide a reasonable estimate of the possible loss or range of loss due to these proceedings, if any.

PART II

Item 5. Market For Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Common Shares

There is currently no established public market in which the Company’s common shares are traded. As of December 31, 2011, there were 91.2 million Units outstanding. Each Unit consists of one common share, no par value, and one Series A preferred share of the Company. The Company is currently selling shares to its existing shareholders at a price of $11.00 per share through its Dividend Reinvestment Plan. The Units are held by approximately 19,900 beneficial shareholders. In 2011, there was a tender offer made for the Units of the Company by a group of bidders. In December 2011, the bidders announced they acquired 8,107 Units for $5 a Unit. The Units acquired by the tender offer were approximately .009% of the Company’s outstanding shares. The weighted average price paid for shares through the tender offer and the Company’s Unit Redemption Program in 2011 was $10.96 per Unit. The bidders made another tender offer in February 2012 at $6 per Unit. The offer expires in April 2012.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

In February 2006, the Company instituted a Dividend Reinvestment Plan for its shareholders. The plan provides a 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 20.0 million Units for potential issuance under the plan. As of December 31, 2011, approximately 16.7 million Units, representing $183.6 million in proceeds to the Company, have been issued under the plan. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had approximately 28.5 million and 38.1 million Units participating in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Since there continues to be demand for the Units at $11 per Unit, the Company’s Board of Directors does not believe the offering price under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan should be changed at this time. However, the Board of Directors could change the price as it determines appropriate.

Unit Redemption Program

In July 2005, the Company instituted a Unit Redemption Program to provide limited interim liquidity to its shareholders who have held their Units for at least one year. Shareholders may request redemption of Units for a purchase price equal to the lesser of: (1) the purchase price per Unit that the shareholder actually paid for the Unit; or (2) $11.00 per Unit. The Company reserves the right to change the purchase price of redemptions, reject any request for redemption, or otherwise amend the terms of, suspend, or terminate the Unit Redemption Program. As noted below, during 2011, the total redemption requests exceeded the authorized amount of redemptions and the Board of Directors has and will continue to limit the amount of redemptions as it deems prudent.

Since inception of the program though December 31, 2011, the Company has redeemed approximately 16.6 million Units representing $182.4 million. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company redeemed approximately 2.8 million Units in the amount of $30.2 million. As contemplated in the program, beginning with the July 2011 redemption, the Company redeemed Units on a pro-rata basis with approximately 17% of the amount requested redeemed in the third quarter of 2011 and approximately 7% of the amount requested redeemed in October 2011 (the last scheduled redemption date in 2011), leaving approximately 9.2 million Units requested but not redeemed. Prior to July 2011, the Company had redeemed 100% of redemption requests. The Company has a number of cash sources including cash from operations, dividend reinvestment plan proceeds, borrowings under its credit facilities and asset sales from which it can make redemptions. See the Company’s complete consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 in the Company’s audited financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further description of the sources and uses of the Company’s cash flows. The following is a summary of redemptions during the fourth quarter of 2011 (no redemptions occurred in November and December 2011):

The maximum number of Units that may be redeemed in any 12 month period is limited to up to five percent (5.0%) of the weighted average number of Units outstanding from the beginning of the 12 month period, subject to the Company’s right to change the number of Units to be redeemed.

Series A Preferred Shares

The Series A preferred shares have no voting rights and no conversion rights. In addition, the Series A preferred shares are not separately tradable from the common shares to which they relate. The Series A preferred shares do not have any distribution rights except a priority distribution upon the sale of the 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 2004, 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 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 Six Advisors, Inc., or if the Company ceases to use Apple Six 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

16


preferred shares in anticipation of issuing preferred shares other than the Series A preferred shares and Series B convertible preferred shares discussed above. The Company cannot now predict whether or to what extent, if any, additional preferred shares will be used or if so used what the characteristics of a particular series may be. The voting rights and rights to distributions of the holders of common shares will be subject to the prior rights of the holders of any subsequently-issued preferred shares. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, the preferred shares would be issuable without further authorization by holders of the common shares and on such terms and for such consideration as may be determined by the Board of Directors. The preferred shares could be issued in one or more series having varying voting rights, redemption and conversion features, distribution (including liquidating distribution) rights and preferences, and other rights, including rights of approval of specified transactions. A series of preferred shares could be given rights that are superior to rights of holders of common shares and a series having preferential distribution rights could limit common share distributions and reduce the amount holders of common shares would otherwise receive on dissolution.

Distribution Policy

To maintain its REIT status the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its ordinary income. Distributions in 2011 totaled $71.2 million and were paid monthly at a rate of $0.066 per common share beginning in July 2011 and $0.064 per common share prior to that date. Distributions in 2010 totaled $72.3 million and were paid monthly at a rate of $0.064 per common share beginning in March 2010 and $0.075 per common share prior to that date. Distributions in 2009 totaled $82.2 million and were paid monthly at a rate of $0.075 per common share. The amount and timing 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 can potentially limit distributions to 105% of funds from operations.

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, upon exercise, convert to Units. Each Unit consists of one common share and one Series A preferred share of the Company. As of December 31, 2011, options to purchase 507,260 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, 2011:

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. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by use of terms such as “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “target,” “goal,” “plan,” “should,” “will,” “predict,” “potential,” and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. 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; the outcome of current and future litigation, regulatory proceedings or inquiries; 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 in this report. Any forward-looking statement that the Company makes speaks only as of the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or cautionary factors as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Overview

Apple REIT Six, Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), was formed and initially capitalized on January 20, 2004, with its first investor closing on April 23, 2004. The Company owns 66 hotels within different markets in the United States. The Company is treated as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. The Company’s first hotel was acquired on May 28, 2004. Although hotel performance can be influenced by many factors including local competition, local and general economic conditions in the United States and the performance of individual managers assigned to each hotel, performance of the hotels as compared to other hotels within their respective local markets, in general, has met the Company’s expectations for the period owned. With the significant decline in economic conditions throughout the United States beginning in the second half of 2008 through 2010, the Company experienced a decline in revenue as compared to 2008, but an increase in revenue from continuing operations of 7% as compared to 2010. Although there is no way to predict future general economic conditions, the Company anticipates mid single digit percentage revenue increases for 2012 as compared to 2011.

In evaluating financial condition and operating performance, the most important indicators 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 others in its local market, and expenses, such as hotel operating expenses, general and administrative and other expenses described below.

The Company continually monitors the profitability of its properties and attempts to maximize shareholder value by timely disposal of properties. During the third quarter of 2010 the Company committed to sell two underperforming assets. These properties were the Tempe, Arizona TownePlace Suites and SpringHill Suites. The Company entered into a contract to sell the properties in January 2011 and completed the sale of the properties in June 2011. The results of these properties have been included in discontinued operations and are not included in the summary below.

Legal Proceedings and Related Matters

The term the “Apple REIT Companies” means the Company, Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc. and Apple REIT Ten, Inc.

On December 13, 2011, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York ordered that three putative class actions, Kronberg, et al. v. David Lerner Associates, Inc., et al., Kowalski v. Apple REIT Ten, Inc., et al., and Leff v. Apple REIT Ten, Inc., et al., be consolidated and amended the caption of the consolidated matter to be In re Apple REITs Litigation. The District Court also appointed lead plaintiffs and lead counsel for the consolidated action and ordered lead plaintiffs to file and serve a consolidated complaint by February 17, 2012. The parties agreed to a schedule for answering or otherwise responding to the complaint and that briefing on any motion to dismiss the complaint will be concluded by June 18, 2012. The Company was previously named as a party in the Kronberg, et al. v. David Lerner Associates, Inc., et al. class action lawsuit.

On February 17, 2012, lead plaintiffs and lead counsel in the In re Apple REITs Litigation, Civil Action No. 1:11-cv-02919-KAM-JO, filed an amended consolidated complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company, Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc., Apple Eight Advisors, Inc., Apple Nine Advisors, Inc., Apple Ten Advisors, Inc., Apple Fund Management, LLC, Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc. and Apple REIT Ten, Inc., their directors and certain officers, and David Lerner Associates, Inc. and David Lerner. The consolidated complaint, purportedly brought on behalf of all purchasers of Units in the Company and the other Apple REIT Companies, or those who otherwise acquired these Units that were offered and sold to them by David Lerner Associates, Inc., or its affiliates and on behalf of subclasses of shareholders in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Florida, asserts claims under Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The consolidated complaint also asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and unjust enrichment, and claims for violation of the securities laws of Connecticut and Florida. The complaint seeks, among other things, certification of a putative nationwide class and the state subclasses, damages, rescission of share purchases and other costs and expenses.

On February 16, 2012, one shareholder of the Company and Apple REIT Seven, Inc., filed a putative class action lawsuit captioned Laurie Brody v. David Lerner Associates, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:12-cv-782-ERK-RER, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company, Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Glade M. Knight, Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc., David Lerner Associates, Inc., and certain executives of David Lerner Associates, Inc. The complaint, purportedly brought on behalf of all purchasers of Units of the Company and Apple REIT Seven, Inc., or those who otherwise acquired these Units, asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, negligence, breach of written or implied contract (against the David Lerner Associates, Inc. defendants only), and for violation of New Jersey’s state securities laws. Counsel for the plaintiff in Laurie Brody v. David Lerner Associates et. al. has consented to consolidating this case into the In re Apple REITs Litigation.

21


The Company believes that any claims against it, its officers and directors and other Apple entities are without merit, and intends to defend against them vigorously. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of these proceedings or provide a reasonable estimate of the possible loss or range of loss due to these proceedings, if any.

Management and Franchise Agreements

Each of the Company’s 66 hotels are operated and managed, under separate management agreements, by affiliates of one of the following companies: Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”), Stonebridge Realty Advisors, Inc. (“Stonebridge”), Hilton Worldwide (“Hilton”), Western International (“Western”), Larry Blumberg & Associates (“LBA”), White Lodging Services Corporation (“White”), Inn Ventures, Inc. (“Inn Ventures”), or Newport Hospitality Group, Inc. (“Newport”). The agreements have remaining terms ranging from 1 to 23 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, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred approximately $8.0 million, $7.0 million and $6.6 million in management fees for continuing operations.

Stonebridge, Western, LBA, White, Inn Ventures and Newport are not affiliated with either Marriott or Hilton, and as a result, the hotels managed by these companies were required to obtain separate franchise agreements with each respective franchisor. The Hilton franchise agreements generally provide for an initial term of 13 to 20 years. Fees associated with the Hilton agreements generally include the payment of royalty fees and program fees based on room revenues. The Marriott franchise agreements provide for an initial term of 15 to 20 years. Fees associated with the Marriott agreements include the payment of royalty fees, marketing fees, reservation fees and a communications support fee based on room revenues. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred approximately $9.9 million, $9.3 million and $8.8 million in franchise fees for continuing operations.

Results of Operations for Years 2011 and 2010

As of December 31, 2011, the Company owned 66 hotels with 7,658 rooms. The Company’s portfolio reflects the sale of two Tempe, Arizona properties in June 2011. Hotel performance is impacted by many factors, including the economic conditions in the United States, as well as each locality. During the period from the second half of 2008 through 2010, the overall weakness in the U.S. economy had a considerable negative impact on both consumer and business travel. As a result, revenue in most markets in the United States declined from levels of 2007 and the first half of 2008. However, economic conditions are showing evidence of improvement as shown in the Company’s 2011 growth in revenue from continuing operations of 7% as compared to 2010. Although the Company expects continued improvement in revenue and operating income in 2012, it is not anticipated that revenue and operating income will completely return to pre-recession levels. The Company’s hotels in general have shown results consistent with industry and brand averages for the period of ownership.

Revenues

The Company’s principal source of revenue is hotel room revenue and other related revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had total hotel revenue from continuing operations of $236.8 million and $221.3 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the hotels achieved average occupancy of 72% and 71%, ADR of $110 and $104 and RevPAR of $79 and $74. ADR is calculated as room revenue divided by the number of rooms sold, and RevPAR is calculated as occupancy multiplied by ADR. These rates are consistent with industry and brand averages. Since the beginning of 2010 the Company has experienced an increase in RevPAR. The first component to improve was occupancy and as occupancy increases have stabilized, ADR has improved with a 6% increase in 2011 compared to 2010. With continued improvement in both demand and rates, the Company and industry are anticipating a mid single digit percentage increase in revenue for 2012, as compared to 2011. While reflecting the impact of post-recessionary levels of single-digit growth in national economic activity, the Company’s hotels on average also continue to be leaders in their respective markets. The Company’s average Market Yield for 2011 and 2010 was 121. The Market Yield is a measure of each hotel’s RevPAR compared to the average in the market; with 100 being the average (the index excludes hotels under renovation) and is provided by Smith Travel Research, Inc.Ò, an independent company that tracks historical hotel performance in most markets throughout the world.

Expenses

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, hotel operating expenses from continuing operations totaled $138.0 million and $130.9 million, respectively, representing 58% of total hotel revenue in 2011 and 59% of total hotel revenue in 2010. Hotel operating expenses consist of operating expense, hotel administrative expense, sales and marketing expense, utilities expense, repair and maintenance expense, franchise fees and management fees. Hotel operational expenses for 2011 reflect the impact of increases in revenues at most of the Company’s hotels, and the Company’s efforts to control costs in a challenging economic environment. Certain operating costs, such as management costs, certain utility costs and minimum supply and maintenance costs are relatively fixed in nature. The Company has been successful in reducing, relative to revenue increases, certain labor costs, hotel supply costs, maintenance costs, and utilities by continually monitoring and sharing utilization data across its hotels and management companies. Although operating expenses will increase as occupancy and revenue increases, the Company has and will continue to work with its management companies to reduce costs as a percentage of revenue as aggressively as possible while maintaining quality and service levels at each property.

Taxes, insurance, and other expenses from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $12.1 million for each period, or 5% of total hotel revenue. Taxes will likely increase if the economy continues to improve and localities reassess property values accordingly. Also, 2012 insurance rates have increased due to property and casualty carriers’ losses world-wide in the past year.

General and administrative expense for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $6.2 million and $6.1 million, or 3% of total hotel revenue. The principal components of general and administrative expense are advisory fees and reimbursable expenses, legal fees, accounting fees, reporting expenses, and the Company’s share of the loss from its investment in Apple Air Holding, LLC. During 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred approximately $0.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in legal costs related to legal and related

24


matters discussed herein and continued costs related to responding to Securities and Exchange Commission inquiries. The Company anticipates it will continue to incur significant legal costs at least during the first half of 2012. Also, during the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company began to incur costs associated with its evaluation of a potential consolidation transaction with Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc., and Apple REIT Nine, Inc. Total costs incurred were approximately $0.6 million. These costs will increase in 2012 if a transaction is pursued.

Depreciation expense from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $32.4 million and $30.8 million. Depreciation expense represents the expense of the 66 hotels included in the Company’s continuing operations and related personal property for their respective periods owned. The increase in depreciation is due to renovations completed throughout 2010 and 2011.

Interest expense, net was $3.6 million and $3.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Interest expense relates to debt assumed with certain properties acquired, as well as borrowings on the Company’s credit facility. Interest expense decreased from 2010 due to the extinguishment of one mortgage in 2011 totaling $4.0 million, one mortgage extinguishment in 2010 totaling $2.9 million and the reduction in the effective interest rate under the Company’s credit facility. This was partially offset by increased borrowings on the Company’s credit facility. The Company capitalized interest of approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million in 2011 and 2010 in conjunction with hotel renovations.

Results of Operations for Years 2010 and 2009

Revenues

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had total hotel revenue from continuing operations of $221.3 million and $210.4 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the hotels achieved average occupancy of 71% and 66%, ADR of $104 and $107 and RevPAR of $74 and $70. These rates were consistent with industry and brand averages. The Company experienced an increase in demand, as shown by the improved occupancy rates in comparison to 2009. However, in addition to a stabilized economy, this improvement was a result of reduced room rates as reflected in the ADR decline in 2010 from comparable 2009 results. ADR for the fourth quarter of 2010 increased 1% from the fourth quarter of 2009. The Company’s hotels continued to be leaders in their respective markets. The Company’s average Market Yield for 2010 and 2009 was 120 for continuing hotels and excluding hotels under renovation during the period.

Expenses

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, hotel operating expenses from continuing operations totaled $130.9 million and $126.1 million, respectively, representing 59% of total hotel revenue in 2010 and 60% of total hotel revenue in 2009. With the Company’s revenue decline in 2009, the Company and its managers were aggressively reducing expenses where possible while still maintaining the quality and service levels of its properties. While certain costs of a hotel are fixed in nature, the Company was successful in reducing overall payroll costs, food and supplies, and utilities relative to revenue increases by continually monitoring and sharing utilization data across its hotels and management companies.

Taxes, insurance, and other expenses from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $12.1 million and $13.2 million, or 5% and 6% of total hotel revenue. The decline was due to lower real estate property tax assessments at selected hotels, including the results of successful appeals of initial assessments for some locations. In addition, the Company experienced slightly lower property insurance expense for most hotel properties, in comparison to insurance rates in effect during 2009.

General and administrative expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $6.1 million and $4.9 million, or 3% and 2% of total hotel revenue. The increases in 2010 were primarily due to approximately $0.45 million of costs incurred related to reviewing and evaluating various strategic alternatives for the Company and to approximately $0.45 million related to Apple Air’s loss from the contract to trade in its two jets for one new jet. Also, in 2010 the Company incurred approximately $0.5 million in legal and related costs responding to Securities and Exchange Commission inquiries.

25


Depreciation expense from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $30.8 million and $30.4 million.

Interest expense, net was $3.8 million and $2.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Interest expense related to debt assumed with 14 of the properties acquired as well as a line of credit entered into in March 2008. Total debt assumed was approximately $54.1 million. Seven of the 14 assumed mortgages, or $23.2 million, were extinguished in 2008, and one additional mortgage, for $2.9 million, was extinguished in 2010. Interest expense increased from year to year due to increased borrowings on the Company’s line of credit. The Company capitalized interest of approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million in 2010 and 2009 in conjunction with hotel renovations.

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 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 during the year ended December 31, 2011. 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 Six Realty Group (“A6RG”), a related party, to provide brokerage services for the acquisition and disposition of the Company’s real estate assets. In accordance with the contract, A6RG 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, 2011, payments to A6RG for services under the terms of this contract have totaled $16.9 million since inception which were capitalized as a part of the purchase price of the hotels. No fees were incurred during 2011, 2010 and 2009 under the contract.

The Company is party to an advisory agreement with Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (“A6A”), pursuant to which A6A provides management services to the Company. An annual fee ranging from 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 incurred by the Company under the advisory agreement are included in general and administrative expenses and totaled $1.5 million for each of the three years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Apple Fund Management, LLC (“AFM”), the Company provides support services to A6RG, Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. (“ASRG”), A6A, Apple Seven Advisors, Inc. (“A7A”), Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple Eight Advisors, Inc. (“A8A”), Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple Nine Advisors, Inc. (“A9A”), Apple REIT Nine, Inc., Apple Ten Advisors, Inc. (“A10A”) and Apple REIT Ten, Inc. A7A provides day to day advisory and administrative functions for Apple REIT Seven, Inc. A8A provides day to day advisory and administrative functions for Apple REIT Eight, Inc. A9A provides day to day advisory and administrative functions for Apple REIT Nine, Inc. A10A provides day to day advisory and administrative functions for Apple REIT Ten, Inc. ASRG provides real estate brokerage services to Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc. and Apple REIT Ten, Inc. Each of these companies has agreed to reimburse the Company for its costs in providing these services. A6RG, ASRG, A6A, A7A, A8A, A9A and A10A are 100% owned by Glade Knight, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company received reimbursement of its costs totaling $7.2 million, $6.1 million and $5.9 million from the participating entities. The Company’s net allocated cost for these support services was approximately $1.5 million, $1.7 million and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. As part of this arrangement, the day to day transactions may result in amounts due to or from the noted related parties. To effectively 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 companies are reimbursed or collected and are not significant in amount.

26


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 the Company include both compensation for personnel and “overhead” (office rent, utilities, benefits, office supplies, etc.) utilized by the companies. AFM receives its direction for staffing and compensation from the advisory companies (A6A, A7A, A8A, A9A, A10A, ASRG, and A6RG) each of which is wholly owned by Glade M Knight. Since the employees of AFM may also perform services for the advisors, individuals, including executive officers, have received and may receive consideration directly from the advisors. The allocation of costs 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. The costs allocated are actual costs and do not include any profit/markup for the Company. Such payments 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 each Company.

Including A6RG, ASRG, A6A, A7A, A8A, A9A and A10A discussed above, Mr. Knight is also Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, 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 Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc.

Included in other assets, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet is a 26% equity investment in Apple Air Holding, LLC (“Apple Air”). The other members of Apple Air are Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc. Through its equity investment the Company has access to Apple Air’s aircraft for asset management and renovation purposes. The Company’s equity investment was approximately $1.7 million and $1.8 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010. 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. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $0.2 million and $0.9 million as its share of the net loss of Apple Air, which primarily relates to the depreciation of the aircraft and the reduction in basis of the aircraft in 2010 due to the planned trade in for one new airplane in 2011, and is included in general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Apple Air owned two aircraft during 2010, but reduced its ownership to one aircraft during the first quarter of 2011.

The Company has incurred legal fees associated with the Legal Proceedings and Related Matters discussed herein. The Company also incurs other professional fees such as accounting, auditing and reporting. These fees are included in general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. To be cost effective, these services received by the Company are shared as applicable across the other Apple REIT Companies (Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc., and Apple REIT Ten, Inc.). The professionals cannot always specifically identify their fees for one company therefore management allocates these costs across the companies that benefit from the services.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company has issued 240,000 Series B convertible preferred shares to Mr. Knight 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

27


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 A6A, or if the Company ceases to use A6RG 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 and the termination of the Series A preferred shares.

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. Expense if a conversion event had occurred at December 31, 2011 could range from $0 to $63.8 million (assumes $11 per Unit fair market value), which represents approximately 5.8 million shares of common stock.

The Company has a $60 million unsecured credit facility with a commercial bank, that is utilized for working capital, hotel renovations, and other general corporate funding purposes, including the payment of redemptions and distributions. The Company refinanced the credit facility in September 2011 with its existing lender. The outstanding principle is required to be paid by the maturity date of September 8, 2013 and may be prepaid without penalty. Interest payments are due monthly and the applicable interest rate is equal to the applicable LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate) plus 3.5%. The LIBOR floor under the previous agreement was removed, therefore reducing the Company’s effective interest rate. The credit facility also has an unused fee of 0.35% if the average outstanding quarterly balance is greater than $30 million and 0.5% if the average outstanding quarterly balance is less than $30 million. With the availability of this credit facility, the Company maintains little cash on hand, accessing the facility as necessary. As a result, cash on hand was $32,000 and $0 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The outstanding balance on the credit facility as

28


of December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $43.7 million and $39.6 million and its interest rate was 3.82% and 5%, respectively. The credit facility has two primary financial covenants, which are: a) at the end of each calendar quarter, the shareholder payout ratio, as defined in the loan documents, cannot exceed the Company’s funds from operations for the immediately preceding twelve month period, which is 105% through December 31, 2012 and 100% thereafter, and b) the Company must maintain a minimum net worth, as defined in the loan documents, greater than $500 million at all times. The Company was in compliance with each of these covenants at December 31, 2011.

Operating cash flow from the properties owned and the $60 million credit facility are the Company’s principal sources of liquidity. The Company anticipates that cash flow from operations and the credit facility will be adequate to meet its anticipated liquidity requirements, including debt service, capital improvements, required distributions to shareholders (the Company is not required to make distributions at its current rate for REIT purposes), and planned Unit redemptions. The Company intends to maintain a relatively stable distribution rate with varying economic cycles. If cash flow from operations and the credit facility are not adequate to meet liquidity requirements, the Company will attempt if necessary 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 its maturing debt in future periods or if it were to default on its debt, it may be unable to make distributions or redemptions. The Company’s bylaws require board approval and review of any debt financing obtained by the Company.

To maintain its REIT status the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its ordinary income. The 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. Distributions in 2011 totaled $71.2 million and were paid monthly at a rate of $0.066 per common share beginning in July 2011, and $0.064 per common share prior to that date. For the same period the Company’s cash generated from operations was $78.1 million. 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 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 January 2010 the Board of Directors reduced the Company’s annual distribution rate from $0.90 to $0.77 per common share. The reduction was effective March 2010. With the operational improvements, the Board of Directors increased the annual distribution rate to $0.79 in June 2011 and is payable monthly. The new distribution rate was effective with the July 2011 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, and 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. 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. The Company invested approximately $14.1 million in capital expenditures in 2011. The Company anticipates expenditures of approximately $18 to $20 million in 2012 in connection with renovations and brand initiatives. The Company currently does not have any existing or planned projects for new development.

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 the lesser of: (1) the purchase price per Unit that the shareholder actually paid for the Unit; or (2) $11.00 per Unit. The Company reserves the right to change the purchase price of redemptions, reject any request for redemption, or otherwise amend the terms of, suspend, or terminate the Unit Redemption Program. As noted below, during 2011, the total redemption requests exceeded the authorized amount of redemptions and the Board of Directors has and will continue to limit the amount of redemptions as it deems prudent. Since inception of the program through December 31, 2011, the Company has redeemed approximately 16.6 million Units representing $182.4 million, including 2.8 million Units in the amount of $30.2 million in 2011 and 2.8 million Units in the amount of $30.4 million in 2010. As contemplated in the program, beginning with the July 2011 redemption, the scheduled redemption date for the third quarter of 2011, the Company redeemed

29


Units on a pro-rata basis. Prior to July 2011, the Company redeemed 100% of redemption requests. The following is a summary of the 2011 Unit redemptions:

Currently, the Company plans to redeem under its Unit Redemption Program approximately 2% of weighted average Units during 2012.

In February 2006, the Company instituted a Dividend Reinvestment Plan for its shareholders. The plan provides a 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 20.0 million Units for potential issuance under the plan. As of December 31, 2011, approximately 16.7 million Units, representing $183.6 million in proceeds to the Company, have been issued under the plan, including 2.5 million Units representing $27.1 million issued in 2011 and 2.8 million Units representing $30.5 million issued in 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 on both a local and national scale. Although management believes there is adequate insurance to cover this exposure, there can be no assurance that such events will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Seasonality

The hotel industry historically has been seasonal in nature. Seasonal variations in occupancy at the Company’s 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 or if necessary any available other financing sources 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

30


service, and the useful life must be at least one year; and (3) for major repairs to a single asset, the repair must be at least $2,500 and the useful life of the asset must be substantially extended.

Impairment Losses Policy

The Company records impairment losses on hotel properties used in operations if indicators of impairment are present, and the sum of the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the respective properties over their estimated remaining useful life, 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. The Company monitors its properties on an ongoing basis by analytically reviewing financial performance and considers each property individually for purposes of reviewing for indicators of impairment. As many indicators of impairment are subjective, such as general economic and market declines, the Company also prepares an annual recoverability analysis for each of its properties to assist with its evaluation of impairment indicators. The analysis compares each property’s net book value to each property’s estimated operating income using current operating results for each stabilized property and projected stabilized operating results based on the property’s market for properties that recently opened, were recently renovated or experienced other short-term business disruption. Since the Company’s planned initial hold period for each property is 39 years the Company’s ongoing analysis and annual recoverability analysis have not identified any impairment losses and no impairment losses have been recorded to date other than the impairment on properties held for sale discussed below. If events or circumstances change such as the Company’s intended hold period for a property or if the operating performance of a property declines substantially for an extended period of time, the Company’s carrying value for a particular property may not be recoverable and an impairment loss will be recorded. Impairment losses are measured as the difference between the asset’s fair value and its carrying value. In connection with the decision to sell its two hotels in Tempe, Arizona, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $3.6 million which represented the difference between the net book value and the fair value less cost to sell. No additional gain or loss was incurred by the Company upon the completion of the sale of the two properties in June 2011.

Subsequent Events

In January 2012, the Company declared and paid approximately $6.0 million or $0.066 per common share, in distributions to its common shareholders, of which approximately $1.8 million or 166,000 Units were reinvested under the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

In January 2012, under the guidelines of the Company’s Unit Redemption Program, the Company redeemed approximately 460,000 Units in the amount of $5.1 million. As contemplated in the Program, the Company redeemed Units on a pro-rata basis, whereby a percentage of each requested redemption was fulfilled at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. A total of approximately 11.6 million shares were requested to be redeemed. This redemption was approximately 4% of the requested redemption amount with approximately 11.1 million requested Units not redeemed.

In February 2012, the Company declared and paid approximately $6.0 million or $0.066 per common share, in distributions to its common shareholders, of which approximately $1.8 million or 163,000 Units were reinvested under the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company does not engage in transactions in derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. As of December 31, 2011, 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 credit facility. Based on the balance of the Company’s credit facility at December 31, 2011, of $43.7 million, every 100 basis points change in interest rates could impact the Company’s net income by $437,000, all other factors remaining the same. The Company’s cash balance at December 31, 2011 was $32,000.

In addition to its $43.7 million outstanding balance under its credit facility at December 31, 2011 (the credit facility’s interest rate at December 31, 2011 was 3.82%), which is included in the table below as due in 2013, 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 outstanding at December 31, 2011.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT
ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

March 12, 2012
To the Shareholders
A
PPLE REIT SIX, INC.

Management of Apple REIT Six, 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, 2011, 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, 2011, 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
A
PPLE REIT SIX, INC.

We have audited Apple REIT Six, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, 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 Six, 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 Six, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the 2011 consolidated financial statements of Apple REIT Six, Inc. and our report dated March 12, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
A
PPLE REIT SIX, INC.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Apple REIT Six, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. 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 Six, Inc. at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, 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 Six, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 12, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1

General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Apple REIT Six, Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a Virginia corporation formed to invest in income-producing real estate in the United States. Initial capitalization occurred on January 20, 2004 and operations began on May 28, 2004 when the Company acquired its first hotel. The Company concluded its best-efforts offering of Units (each Unit consists of one common share and one Series A preferred share) in March 2006. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. As of December 31, 2011 the Company owned 66 hotels. The Company has no foreign operations or assets and its operating structure includes only one segment. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

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 a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary (or subsidiary thereof) (collectively, the “Lessee”), which leases 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. Cash balances may at times exceed federal depository insurance limits.

Restricted cash

Restricted cash includes reserves for debt service, real estate taxes, and insurance 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 Six Realty Group, Inc. (“A6RG”), 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, 17 years for franchise fees, 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; and (3) for major repairs to a single asset, the repair must be at least $2,500 and the useful life of the asset must be substantially extended.

The Company records impairment losses on hotel properties used in operations if indicators of impairment are present, and the sum of the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the respective properties over their estimated remaining useful life, 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. The Company monitors its properties on an ongoing basis by analytically reviewing financial performance and considers each property individually for purposes of reviewing for indicators of impairment. As many indicators of impairment are subjective, such as general economic and market declines, the Company also prepares an annual recoverability analysis for each of its properties to assist with its evaluation of impairment indicators. The analysis compares each property’s net book value to each property’s estimated operating income using current operating results for each stabilized property and projected stabilized operating results based on the property’s market for properties that recently opened, were recently renovated or experienced other short-term business disruption. Since the Company’s planned initial hold period for each property is 39 years the Company’s ongoing analysis and annual recoverability analysis have not identified any impairment losses and no impairment losses have been recorded to date other than the impairment on properties held for sale discussed below. If events or circumstances change such as the Company’s intended hold period for a property or if the operating performance of a property declines substantially for an extended period of time, the Company’s carrying value for a particular property may not be recoverable and an impairment loss will be recorded. Impairment losses are measured as the difference between the asset’s fair value and its carrying value. In connection with the decision to sell its two hotels in Tempe, Arizona, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $3.6 million which represented the difference between the net book value and the fair value less cost to sell. No additional gain or loss was incurred by the Company upon the completion of the sale of the two properties in June 2011.

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

The Company recorded no comprehensive income other than net income for the periods reported.

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 common share are calculated after giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding for the year. There were no potential common shares with a dilutive effect for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. 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 that such shares are eligible to be 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 2011 distributions of $0.78 per common share for tax purposes was 80% ordinary income and 20% return of capital, 2010 distributions of $0.79 per common share for tax purposes was 75% ordinary income and 25% return of capital, and 2009 distributions of $0.90 per common share for tax purposes was 62% ordinary income and 38% return of capital.

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, 2011, 2010 and 2009, 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 $57 million as of December, 31, 2011. The net operating losses expire beginning in 2024. There are no material differences between the book and tax cost basis of the Company’s assets.

As of December 31, 2011, the tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions generally include 2008 to 2011.

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 United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3

Credit Facility and Notes Payable

The Company has a $60 million unsecured credit facility with a commercial bank, that is utilized for working capital, hotel renovations, and other general corporate funding purposes, including the payment of redemptions and distributions. The Company refinanced the credit facility in September 2011 with its existing lender. The outstanding principle is required to be paid by the maturity date of September 8, 2013 and may be prepaid without penalty. Interest payments are due monthly and the applicable interest rate is equal to the applicable LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate) plus 3.5%. The LIBOR floor under the previous agreement was removed, therefore reducing the Company’s effective interest rate. The credit facility also has an unused fee of 0.35% if the average outstanding quarterly balance is greater than $30 million and 0.5% if the average outstanding quarterly balance is less than $30 million. The outstanding balance on the credit facility as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $43.7 million and $39.6 million and its interest rate was 3.82% and 5%, respectively. The credit facility has two primary financial covenants, which are: a) at the end of each calendar quarter, the shareholder payout ratio, as defined in the loan documents, cannot exceed the Company’s funds from operations for the immediately preceding twelve month period, which is 105% through December 31, 2012 and 100% thereafter, and b) the Company must maintain a minimum net worth, as defined in the loan documents, greater than $500 million at all times. The Company was in compliance with each of these covenants at December 31, 2011.

The Company also assumed approximately $54.1 million of debt secured by a first mortgage on 14 of its properties. The Company paid and extinguished seven of these mortgages in 2008, one in 2010 and one in 2011. The following table summarizes the hotel, interest rate, maturity date and the principal amount assumed associated with each of the outstanding mortgages.

Fair value adjustments were recorded in connection with the assumption of the above market rate debt in connection with the hotel acquisitions. These premiums are amortized into interest expense over the remaining term of the related indebtedness using the effective interest rate method. The effective rates range from 5.85% to 5.88%. The unamortized balances at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

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 terms and

43


credit characteristics. Market rates take into consideration general market conditions and maturity. As of December 31, 2011, the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was $63.1 million and $64.0 million. As of December 31, 2010, the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was $63.7 million and $64.4 million.

The Company’s interest expense in 2011, 2010 and 2009 is net of interest capitalized in conjunction with hotel renovations totaling $0.2 million, $0.1 million and $0.3 million.

Note 4

Shareholders’ Equity

Best-efforts Offering

The Company concluded its best-efforts offering of Units on March 3, 2006. The Company registered its Units on Registration Statement Form S-11 (File No. 333-112169). The Company began its best-efforts offering of Units on April 23, 2004, the same day the Registration Statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Each Unit consists of one common share and one Series A preferred share.

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 Stock

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 Six Advisors, Inc. (“A6A”), or if the Company ceases to use A6RG to provide property acquisition and disposition services; or

44


 

(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 common shareholders’ interests and the termination of the Series A preferred shares.

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, 2011, expense could have ranged from $0 to $63.8 million (assumes $11 per Unit fair market value), which represents approximately 5.8 million shares of common stock.

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.

Unit Redemption Program

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 the lesser of: (1) the purchase price per Unit that the shareholder actually paid for the Unit; or (2) $11.00 per Unit. The Company reserves the right to change the purchase price of redemptions, reject any request for redemption, or otherwise amend the terms of, suspend, or terminate the Unit Redemption Program. As noted below, during 2011, the total redemption requests exceeded the authorized amount of redemptions and the Board of Directors has and will continue to limit the amount of redemptions as it deems prudent. Since inception of the program through December 31, 2011, the Company has redeemed approximately 16.6

45


million Units representing $182.4 million, including 2.8 million Units in the amount of $30.2 million in 2011 and 2.8 million Units in the amount of $30.4 million in 2010. As contemplated in the program, beginning with the July 2011 redemption, the scheduled redemption date for the third quarter of 2011, the Company redeemed Units on a pro-rata basis. Prior to July 2011, the Company redeemed 100% of redemption requests. The following is a summary of the 2011 Unit redemptions:

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

In February 2006, the Company instituted a Dividend Reinvestment Plan for its shareholders. The plan provides a 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 20.0 million Units for potential issuance under the plan. As of December 31, 2011, approximately 16.7 million Units, representing $183.6 million in proceeds to the Company, have been issued under the plan, including 2.5 million Units representing $27.1 million issued in 2011 and 2.8 million Units representing $30.5 million issued in 2010.

Distributions

The Company’s annual distribution rate as of December 31, 2011 was $0.792 per common share, payable monthly. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the company has made distributions of $0.78, $0.79 and $0.90 per common share for a total of $71.2 million, $72.3 million and $82.2 million.

Note 5

Stock Incentive Plans

On January 20, 2004, 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 based on the number of shares issued as of December 31, 2011.

On January 20, 2004, 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 offering of 91,125,541 Units. Therefore, the maximum number of Units that can be issued under the Incentive Plan is currently 4,029,318 based on the number of shares issued as of December 31, 2011.

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 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company granted options to purchase 73,040, 73,032 and 72,828 Units, respectively, under the Directors Plan. All of the options issued vested at the date of issuance, and have an

46


exercise price of $11 per Unit. The Company has granted no options under the Incentive Plan. Activity in the Company’s share option plan during 2011, 2010 and 2009 is summarized in the following table:

Management and Franchise Agreements

Each of the 66 hotels included in the Company’s continuing operations are operated and managed, under separate management agreements, by affiliates of one of the following companies (indicates the number of hotels managed): Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”) (3), Stonebridge Realty Advisors, Inc. (“Stonebridge”) (10), Hilton Worldwide (“Hilton”) (5), Western International (“Western”) (8), Larry Blumberg & Associates (“LBA”) (20), White Lodging Services Corporation (“White”) (9), Inn Ventures, Inc. (“Inn Ventures”) (10) or Newport Hospitality Group, Inc. (“Newport”) (1). The agreements have remaining terms ranging from 1 to 23 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, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred approximately $8.0 million, $7.0 million and $6.6 million in management fees for continuing operations.

Stonebridge, Western, LBA, White, Inn Ventures and Newport are not affiliated with either Marriott or Hilton, and as a result, the hotels managed by these companies were required to obtain separate franchise agreements with each respective franchisor. The Hilton franchise agreements generally provide for an initial term of 13 to 20 years. Fees associated with the Hilton agreements generally include the payment of royalty fees and program fees based on room revenues. The Marriott franchise agreements provide for an initial term of 15 to 20 years. Fees associated with the Marriott agreements include the payment of royalty fees, marketing fees, reservation fees and a communications support fee based on room revenues. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred approximately $9.9 million, $9.3 million and $8.8 million in franchise fees for continuing operations.

Note 7

Related Parties

The Company has, and is expected to continue to engage in, significant transactions with related parties. These transactions cannot be construed to be at 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 during the year ended December 31, 2011. The Board of Directors is not required to approve each individual transaction that

47


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 Six Realty Group (“A6RG”), a related party, to provide brokerage services for the acquisition and disposition of the Company’s real estate assets. In accordance with the contract, A6RG 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, 2011, payments to A6RG for services under the terms of this contract have totaled $16.9 million since inception which were capitalized as a part of the purchase price of the hotels. No fees were incurred during 2011, 2010 and 2009 under the contract.

The Company is party to an advisory agreement with Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (“A6A”), pursuant to which A6A provides management services to the Company. An annual fee ranging from 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 incurred by the Company under the advisory agreement are included in general and administrative expenses and totaled $1.5 million for each of the three years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Apple Fund Management, LLC (“AFM”), the Company provides support services to A6RG, Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. (“ASRG”), A6A, Apple Seven Advisors, Inc. (“A7A”), Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple Eight Advisors, Inc. (“A8A”), Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple Nine Advisors, Inc. (“A9A”), Apple REIT Nine, Inc., Apple Ten Advisors, Inc. (“A10A”) and Apple REIT Ten, Inc. A7A provides day to day advisory and administrative functions for Apple REIT Seven, Inc. A8A provides day to day advisory and administrative functions for Apple REIT Eight, Inc. A9A provides day to day advisory and administrative functions for Apple REIT Nine, Inc. A10A provides day to day advisory and administrative functions for Apple REIT Ten, Inc. ASRG provides real estate brokerage services to Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc. and Apple REIT Ten, Inc. Each of these companies has agreed to reimburse the Company for its costs in providing these services. A6RG, ASRG, A6A, A7A, A8A, A9A and A10A are 100% owned by Glade Knight, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company received reimbursement of its costs totaling $7.2 million, $6.1 million and $5.9 million from the participating entities. The Company’s net allocated cost for these support services was approximately $1.5 million, $1.7 million and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. As part of this arrangement, the day to day transactions may result in amounts due to or from the noted related parties. To effectively 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 companies are reimbursed or collected and are not significant in amount.

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 the Company include both compensation for personnel and “overhead” (office rent, utilities, benefits, office supplies, etc.) utilized by the companies. AFM receives its direction for staffing and compensation from the advisory companies (A6A, A7A, A8A, A9A, A10A, ASRG, and A6RG) each of which is wholly owned by Glade M Knight. Since the employees of AFM may also perform services for the advisors, individuals, including executive officers, have received and may receive consideration directly from the advisors. The allocation of costs 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. The costs allocated are actual costs and do not include any profit/markup for the Company. Such payments 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 each Company.

Including A6RG, ASRG, A6A, A7A, A8A, A9A and A10A discussed above, Mr. Knight is also Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc. and

48


Apple REIT Ten, Inc. Members of the Company’s Board of Directors are also on the boards of Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc.

In January 2009, the Company’s equity investment in Apple Air Holding, LLC (“Apple Air”) was reduced from 50% to 26% through the redemption of a 24% equity interest by Apple Air. The Company received approximately $3.2 million for the equity interest redeemed. No gain or loss from the redemption was recognized by the Company. The Company’s 26% equity investment in Apple Air is included in other assets, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The other members of Apple Air are Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc. Through its equity investment the Company has access to Apple Air’s aircraft for asset management and renovation purposes. The Company’s equity investment was approximately $1.7 million and $1.8 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010. 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. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $0.2 million and $0.9 million as its share of the net loss of Apple Air, which primarily relates to the depreciation of the aircraft and the reduction in basis of the aircraft in 2010 due to the planned trade in for one new airplane in 2011, and is included in general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Apple Air owned two aircraft during 2010, but reduced its ownership to one aircraft during the first quarter of 2011.

The Company has incurred legal fees associated with the Legal Proceedings and Related Matters discussed herein. The Company also incurs other professional fees such as accounting, auditing and reporting. These fees are included in general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. To be cost effective, these services received by the Company are shared as applicable across the other Apple REIT Companies (Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc., and Apple REIT Ten, Inc.). The professionals cannot always specifically identify their fees for one company therefore management allocates these costs across the companies that benefit from the services.

Note 8

Dispositions

Based on the performance, location, and capital requirements of the Tempe, Arizona TownePlace Suites and SpringHill Suites, the Company committed to sell these two properties in the third quarter of 2010. On June 6, 2011, the Company sold these hotels for net proceeds of $10.8 million. These hotels were classified on the consolidated balance sheet as hotels held for sale at December 31, 2010, and were recorded at the fair value less cost to sell. The results of operations for these properties have been classified in the consolidated statements of operations in the line item income (loss) from discontinued operations.

During the second half of 2010, the Company recorded a loss of $3.6 million based on the fair value of the two properties less cost to sell, as compared to net book value. No gain or loss was incurred by the Company upon the completion of the sale of the two properties in June 2011.

Industry Segments

The Company owns extended-stay and limited service hotel properties throughout the United States that generate rental and other property related income. The Company separately evaluates the performance of each of its hotel properties. However, because each of the hotels has similar economic characteristics, facilities, and services, the properties have been aggregated into a single operating segment. All segment disclosures are included in, or can be derived from, the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Legal Proceedings and Related Matters

The term the “Apple REIT Companies” means the Company, Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc. and Apple REIT Ten, Inc.

On December 13, 2011, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York ordered that three putative class actions, Kronberg, et al. v. David Lerner Associates, Inc., et al., Kowalski v. Apple REIT Ten, Inc., et al., and Leff v. Apple REIT Ten, Inc., et al., be consolidated and amended the caption of the consolidated matter to be In re Apple REITs Litigation. The District Court also appointed lead plaintiffs and lead counsel for the consolidated action and ordered lead plaintiffs to file and serve a consolidated complaint by February 17, 2012. The parties agreed to a schedule for answering or otherwise responding to the complaint and that briefing on any motion to dismiss the complaint will be concluded by June 18, 2012. The Company was previously named as a party in the Kronberg, et al. v. David Lerner Associates, Inc., et al. class action lawsuit.

On February 17, 2012, lead plaintiffs and lead counsel in the In re Apple REITs Litigation, Civil Action No. 1:11-cv-02919-KAM-JO, filed an amended consolidated complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company, Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc., Apple Eight Advisors, Inc., Apple Nine Advisors, Inc., Apple Ten Advisors, Inc., Apple Fund Management, LLC, Apple REIT Seven, Inc., Apple REIT Eight, Inc., Apple REIT Nine, Inc. and Apple REIT Ten, Inc., their directors and certain officers, and David Lerner Associates, Inc. and David Lerner. The consolidated complaint, purportedly brought on behalf of all purchasers of Units in the Company and the other Apple REIT Companies, or those who otherwise acquired these Units that were offered and sold to them by David Lerner Associates, Inc., or its affiliates and on behalf of subclasses of shareholders in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Florida, asserts claims under Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The consolidated complaint also asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and unjust enrichment, and claims for violation of the securities laws of Connecticut and Florida. The complaint seeks, among other things, certification of a putative nationwide class and the state subclasses, damages, rescission of share purchases and other costs and expenses.

On February 16, 2012, one shareholder of the Company and Apple REIT Seven, Inc., filed a putative class action lawsuit captioned Laurie Brody v. David Lerner Associates, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:12-cv-782-ERK-RER, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company, Apple REIT

50


Seven, Inc., Glade M. Knight, Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc., David Lerner Associates, Inc., and certain executives of David Lerner Associates, Inc. The complaint, purportedly brought on behalf of all purchasers of Units of the Company and Apple REIT Seven, Inc., or those who otherwise acquired these Units, asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, negligence, breach of written or implied contract (against the David Lerner Associates, Inc. defendants only), and for violation of New Jersey’s state securities laws. Counsel for the plaintiff in Laurie Brody v. David Lerner Associates et. al. has consented to consolidating this case into the In re Apple REITs Litigation.

The Company believes that any claims against it, its officers and directors and other Apple entities are without merit, and intends to defend against them vigorously. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of these proceedings or provide a reasonable estimate of the possible loss or range of loss due to these proceedings, if any.
