NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the period ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the period ending December 31, 2006.

Note 2

General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Apple REIT Six, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Virginia corporation formed to invest in hotels and other selected real estate in select metropolitan areas 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. On March 3, 2006, the Company concluded its best-efforts offering of Units. 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.

Stock Incentive Plans

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation using the modified prospective transition method. Accordingly, no prior year amounts have been restated. Statement 123 (R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in Statement 123 (R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123 (R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The adoption of this statement has not had a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. During the second quarter of 2006 the Company issued approximately 72,000 directors’ stock options and share-based expense of approximately $69,000 was recorded.

Offering Costs

From the Company’s initial capitalization on January 20, 2004 through September 30, 2006, the Company incurred costs of approximately $102 million related to its best-efforts offering. These costs are reflected as a reduction to shareholders’ equity. As of September 30, 2006, the Company has closed on a total of 91,125,541 Units, representing proceeds net of offering costs of approximately $898 million.

Table of Contents

Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated after giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding for the year. There were no potential common shares with a dilutive effect during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 or 2005. Series B convertible preferred shares are not included in earnings per common share calculations until such time the Series B preferred convertible shares are converted to common shares.

Use of Estimates

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

Note 3

Property Acquisitions

The Company purchased five hotels in 2006. The following table summarizes the location, brand, property manager, date acquired, number of rooms and gross purchase price for each hotel acquired in 2006. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

 

Location

   Brand    Manager    Date
Acquired
   Rooms    Gross
Purchase
Price
San Francisco, CA    Hilton Garden Inn    Inn Ventures    1/30/06    169    $ 12,266
Clearwater, FL    SpringHill Suites    LBA    2/17/06    79      6,923
Hillsboro, OR    Residence Inn    Inn Ventures    3/09/06    122      15,500
Hillsboro, OR    Courtyard    Inn Ventures    3/09/06    155      11,000
Panama City, FL    Courtyard    LBA    4/26/06    84      9,245
                    

Total

            609    $ 54,934
                    

Substantially all of the purchases were funded with proceeds of the Company’s best-efforts offering of Units. However, the Company did assume approximately $6.7 million of secured debt associated with the purchase of the Courtyard hotel in Hillsboro, Oregon. The note bears interest at a rate of 6.4% per annum and matures on December 11, 2014.

As there can be no assurance that all conditions to closing will be satisfied, the Company includes deposits for hotels under contract in Other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet and in Cash paid for potential acquisition of hotels in its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

The terms and fees of the new management agreements are similar to the Company’s existing management agreements.

The Company leased all of its hotels to wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries under hotel lease agreements. The Company also used the proceeds of its offering to pay 2% of the gross purchase price for these hotels, or approximately $1.1 million, as a commission to Apple Six Realty Group, Inc. (“ASRG”). ASRG is owned by the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Glade M. Knight. This commission was capitalized as part of the purchase price of the hotels.

No goodwill or intangible assets were recorded in connection with any of the acquisitions.

Note 4

Related Parties

The Company has significant transactions with related parties. These transactions cannot be construed to be arms length, and the results of the Company’s operations may be different if these transactions were conducted with non-related parties.

The Company has a contract with ASRG, a related party, to provide brokerage services for the acquisition and disposition of the Company’s real estate assets. In accordance with the contract, ASRG is paid a fee of 2% of the gross purchase price of any acquisitions or gross sale price of any dispositions of real estate investments, subject to certain conditions. As of September 30, 2006, payments to ASRG for services under the terms of this contract have totaled $16.6 million since inception, which were capitalized as a part of the purchase price of the hotels.

The Company is party to an advisory agreement with Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (“ASA”), pursuant to which ASA provides management services to the Company. An annual fee ranging from .1% to .25% of total equity proceeds received by the Company, in addition to certain reimbursable expenses, are payable for these services. ASA utilizes Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. to provide these services. Expenses related to the ASA agreement, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, totaled approximately $1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

During 2006 the Company assigned its rights under four contracts for the purchase of hotels in Houston, TX, Brownsville, TX, Miami, FL and Stafford, TX to Apple REIT Seven, Inc. The assignments were completed with no cost or profit to the Company and were entered into to prevent the Company from incurring secured debt to complete its planned property acquisitions.

Mr. Knight is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ASRG, ASA, Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. (a hospitality REIT), Apple Hospitality Five, Inc. (a hospitality REIT) and Apple REIT Seven, Inc. (a newly formed company proposed to be a diversified REIT). The Company’s Board of Directors are also on the board of Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. and Apple Hospitality Five, Inc.

Note 5

Shareholders’ Equity

The company concluded its best-efforts offering of Units on March 3, 2006.

Table of Contents

Expense related to issuance of 240,000 Series B convertible preferred shares to Mr. Knight will be recognized at such time when the number of common shares to be issued for conversion of the Series B shares can be reasonably estimated and the event triggering the conversion of the Series B shares to common shares occurs. The expense will be measured as the difference between the fair value of the common stock for which the Series B shares can be converted and the amounts paid for the Series B shares. Based on equity raised through September 30, 2006, if a triggering event had occurred, expense would 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.

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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company redeemed approximately 2.3 million Units in the amount of $25.3 million under the program.

In February 2006, the Company instituted a dividend reinvestment plan for its shareholders. The plan provides a convenient and cost effective way to increase shareholder investment in the Company by reinvesting dividends to purchase additional Units of the Company. The uses of the proceeds from this plan may include purchasing Units under the Company’s Unit Redemption Program, enhancing properties, satisfying financing obligations and other expenses, increasing working capital, funding various corporate operations, and acquiring hotels. As of September 30, 2006, approximately 1.3 million Units, representing $13.9 million in proceeds to the Company, have been issued under the plan.

Note 6

Other Assets

On January 25, 2006, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Apple Six Hospitality Air, LLC, purchased a Lear 40XR jet. The jet will be used mainly for renovation and asset management purposes. The purchase price was approximately $8.3 million. The asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of ten years. As of September 30, 2006, the Company recorded depreciation expense in the amount of approximately $636,000.

Note 7

Subsequent Events

On October 16, 2006, the Company declared and paid approximately $6.6 million, or $.073 per share, in distributions to its common shareholders of record on September 30, 2006, of which $2.7 million or 246,137 Units were reinvested under the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

On October 20, 2006, the Company redeemed 0.6 million Units in the amount of $6.6 million under its Unit Redemption Program.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include the ability of the Company to implement its acquisition strategy and operating strategy; the Company’s ability to manage planned growth; changes in economic cycles and competition within the extended-stay 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 the quarterly 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.

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 67 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, with 11 total hotels purchased in 2004, 51 hotels purchased in 2005 and 5 hotels purchased in 2006. Accordingly, the results of operations include only the results of the hotels for the period owned. Although hotel performance can be influenced by many factors including local competition, local and general economic conditions in the United States and the performance of individual managers assigned to each hotel, performance of the hotels, in general, has met the Company’s expectations for the period owned. In evaluating financial condition and operating performance, the most important matters on which the Company focuses are revenue measurements, such as average occupancy, average daily rate (“ADR”) and revenue per available room (“RevPAR”), and expenses, such as hotel operating expenses, general and administrative and other expenses described below. The following is a summary of the Company’s results. All amounts are in thousands, except for percent of revenue (“POR”) and other percentages and ratios.

The Company leased all of its hotels to wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries (collectively, the “lessee”) under hotel lease agreements. The Company also used the proceeds from its “best-efforts” offering to pay 2% of the gross purchase price for these hotels, which equals approximately $16.6 million, as a commission to Apple Six Realty Group, Inc. (“ASRG”). ASRG is owned by the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Glade M. Knight.

No goodwill or intangible assets were recorded in connection with any of the acquisitions.

Results of Operations

Due to the fact the Company only owned 48 hotels as of September 30, 2005, versus 67 hotels as of September 30, 2006, a comparison of hotel operations to 2005 would not be meaningful.

In general, performance at the Company’s hotels have met expected financial results. Hotel performance is impacted by many factors including the economic conditions in the United States, as well as each locality. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company’s operating performance will continue to meet expectations in the future.

Revenues

The Company’s principal source of revenue is hotel room revenue and other related revenue. Hotel operations are for the 67 hotels acquired through September 30, 2006 for their respective periods owned. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company had room revenue and other revenue of $65.7 and $180.9 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the hotels achieved average occupancy of 79% and 76%, average daily rate, or ADR of $108 and $105 and revenue per available room, or RevPAR of $85 and $80. 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.

Expenses

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, hotel operating expenses totaled $35.9 and $102.4 million or 55% and 57% of total revenue. As the third quarter of 2006 was the first full quarter of operations for all 67 hotels, future operating expenses as a percentage of revenue are expected to remain consistent with third quarter 2006 results.

Table of Contents

Taxes, insurance, and other expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, were $3.7 and $10.2 million. As many of the properties acquired by the Company in the previous 12 months were newly constructed, the Company expects a slight increase in property taxes in the next year.

General and administrative expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, was $0.9 and $3.1 million. The principal components of general and administrative expense are advisory fees, accounting fees and reporting expense.

Depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, was $6.5 and $18.9 million. Depreciation expense represents expense of the Company’s 67 hotels and related personal property for their respective periods owned.

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, was $0.9 and $2.7 million. Interest expense arose from debt assumed with 14 of the properties acquired and short term financing used to bridge the purchase of properties and the raising of capital. Total debt assumed was approximately $54.1 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating cash flow from the properties owned and cash on hand ($30.9 million at September 30, 2006) are the Company’s principal source of liquidity. In addition, the Company may borrow funds, subject to limitations set forth in its bylaws. The Company anticipates that cash flow, and cash on hand, will be adequate to cover its operating expenses and to permit the Company to meet its anticipated liquidity requirements, including distributions and capital expenditures.

On March 3, 2006, the Company concluded its best-efforts offering of Units. From the Company’s initial capitalization on January 20, 2004 through March 3, 2006, the Company closed on a total of 91,125,541 Units, representing gross proceeds and proceeds net of selling, marketing fees, and other costs of approximately $1.0 billion and $898 million, respectively. These costs are reflected as a reduction to shareholders’ equity.

The Company has on-going capital commitments to fund its capital improvements. The Company is required, under all of the hotel management agreements, to make available, for the repair, replacement, and refurbishing of furniture, fixtures, and equipment, of its hotels an amount of 1% to 5% of gross revenues. The Company expects that this amount will be adequate to fund required repair, replacement, and refurbishments and to maintain the Company’s hotels in a competitive condition. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had made approximately $10.1 million of capital expenditures during 2006.

To maintain its REIT status the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its ordinary income. Distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 totaled $58.3 million and were paid monthly at a rate of $0.073 per common share and included a return of capital. For the same period the Company’s cash generated from operations was $61.5 million. The Company intends to continue paying dividends on a monthly basis at an annual rate of 8%. 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.

In conjunction with the acquisition of five hotels in December 2005, the Company utilized short-term unsecured financing from a commercial bank in the amount of $40 million to fund a portion of the aggregate gross purchase price. This financing was evidenced by a promissory note and was governed by a loan agreement. The applicable interest rate was equal to LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate) plus 2.2%. Payments of interest only were due monthly. A principal payment of $12 million was made on December 30, 2005 and the remaining principal payment of $28 million was made on January 24, 2006 and the loan was extinguished.

In February 2006, the Company instituted a dividend reinvestment plan for its shareholders. The plan provides a convenient and cost effective way to increase shareholder investment in the Company by

reinvesting dividends to purchase additional Units of the Company. The uses of the proceeds from this plan may include purchasing Units under the Company’s Unit Redemption Program, enhancing properties, satisfying financing obligations and other expenses, increasing working capital, funding various corporate operations, and acquiring hotels. As of September 30, 2006, approximately 1.3 million Units, representing $13.9 million in proceeds to the Company, have been issued under the plan.

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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company redeemed approximately 2.3 million Units in the amount of $25.3 million under the program. It is anticipated the funds required for the redemption program will be substantially offset by the funds received from the dividend reinvestment plan.

Related Party Transactions

The Company has significant transactions with related parties. These transactions cannot be construed to be arms length, and the results of the Company’s operations may be different if these transactions were conducted with non-related parties.

The Company has a contract with ASRG, a related party, to provide brokerage services for the acquisition and disposition of the Company’s real estate assets. In accordance with the contract, ASRG is paid a fee of 2% of the gross purchase price of any acquisitions or gross sale price of any dispositions of real estate investments, subject to certain conditions. As of September 30, 2006, payments to ASRG for services under the terms of this contract have totaled $16.6 million since inception, which were capitalized as a part of the purchase price of the hotels.

The Company is party to an advisory agreement with Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (“ASA”), pursuant to which ASA provides management services to the Company. An annual fee ranging from .1% to .25% of total equity proceeds received by the Company, in addition to certain reimbursable expenses, are payable for these services. ASA utilizes Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. to provide these services. Expenses related to the ASA agreement, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, totaled approximately $1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

During 2006 the Company assigned its rights under four contracts for the purchase of hotels in Houston, TX, Brownsville, TX, Miami, FL and Stafford, TX to Apple REIT Seven, Inc. The assignments were completed with no cost to the Company and were entered into to prevent the Company from incurring secured debt to complete its planned property acquisitions

Mr. Knight is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ASRG, ASA, Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. (a hospitality REIT), Apple Hospitality Five, Inc. (a hospitality REIT) and Apple REIT Seven, Inc. (a newly formed company proposed to be a diversified REIT). The Company’s Board of Directors are also on the board of Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. and Apple Hospitality Five, Inc.

Impact of Inflation

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

Business Interruption

Being in the real estate industry, the Company is exposed to natural disasters both locally and nationally, and although management believes there is adequate insurance to cover this exposure, there can be no assurance that such events will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Seasonality

The hotel industry historically has been seasonal in nature. 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 to make distributions.

Subsequent Events

On October 16, 2006, the Company declared and paid approximately $6.6 million, or $.073 per share, in distributions to its common shareholders of record on September 30, 2006, of which $2.7 million or 246,137 Units were reinvested under the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

On October 20, 2006, the Company redeemed 0.6 million Units in the amount of $6.6 million under its Unit Redemption Program.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company does not engage in transactions in derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. As of September 30, 2006, the Company’s financial instruments were not exposed to significant market risk due to interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk. The Company will be exposed to changes in short term money market rates as it invests cash on hand. Based on the Company’s cash invested at September 30, 2006, of $30.9 million, every 100 basis points change in interest rates will impact the Company’s net income by $309,000, all other factors remaining the same.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

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

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

During the first quarter of 2006, the Company instituted a dividend reinvestment plan. The purpose of the plan is to provide the Company’s shareholders with a convenient and inexpensive way to increase their investment in the Company by reinvesting their dividends to purchase additional Units. As of September 30, 2006, approximately 1.3 million Units, representing $13.9 million in proceeds to the Company, have been issued under the plan.

Unit Redemption Program

In July 2005, the Company instituted a Unit Redemption Program to provide its shareholders who have held their Units for at least one year with the benefit of limited interim liquidity, by presenting for redemption all or any portion of their Units at any time and in accordance with certain procedures. Once this time limitation has been met, the Company may, subject to certain conditions and limitations, redeem the Units presented for redemption for cash, to the extent that the Company has sufficient funds available to fund the redemption. If Units are held for the required one-year period, the Units may be redeemed for a purchase price equal to the lesser of: (1) $11.00 per Unit; or (2) the purchase price per Unit that was actually paid for the Units. The board of directors reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, to waive the one-year holding period, reject any request for redemption, change the purchase price for redemptions or otherwise amend the terms of, suspend, or terminate the Unit Redemption Program. The following is a summary of redemptions during the third quarter of 2006:
