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 registration statement filed on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 333-125546). Operating results for the six month and three month periods ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2006.

General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

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

Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated after giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding for the period. Series B convertible preferred shares are not included in earnings per common share until such time it becomes probable that such shares can be converted to common shares.

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 approximate their carrying value. Cash equivalents are placed with high credit quality institutions and the balances may exceed federal depository insurance limits.

Comprehensive Income

The Company had no transactions which generated any differences between comprehensive income and net income during the periods reported.

Income Taxes

The Company intends to make an election to be treated, and expects to qualify, as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a REIT, the Company will be allowed a deduction for the amount of dividends paid to its shareholders, thereby subjecting the distributed net income of the Company to taxation only at the shareholder level. The Company’s continued qualification as a REIT will depend on its compliance with numerous requirements, including requirements as to the nature of its income and distribution of dividends.

The Company has established Apple Seven Hospitality Management, Inc. as a 100% owned taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). The TRS or one of its subsidiaries leases each hotel from the Company, and is subject to income tax at regular corporate rates on any income that is earned.

Start Up Costs

Start up costs are expensed as incurred.

Use of Estimates

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

Offering Costs

The Company is raising capital through a “best-efforts” offering of Units by David Lerner Associates, Inc., (the “Managing Dealer”), which receives a selling commission and a marketing expense allowance based on proceeds of the Units sold. Additionally, the Company has incurred other offering costs including costs for legal, accounting and reporting services. These offering costs are recorded by the Company as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had sold 15.3 million Units for gross proceeds of $165.6 million and proceeds net of offering costs of $148.1 million.

Note 2

Summary of Acquisitions

Effective April 26, 2006, the Company closed on the purchase of a Residence Inn by Marriott hotel in Houston, Texas, which contains 129 rooms and began operations in April 2006. The gross purchase price of the hotel was $13.6 million. This was the Company’s initial investment in real estate property.

Effective May 9, 2006, the Company closed on the purchase of a Hilton Garden Inn hotel located in San Diego, California containing 200 rooms. The hotel was in operation when acquired, and originally opened in 2004. The gross purchase price of the hotel was $34.5 million.

Effective June 19, 2006, the Company closed on the purchase of a Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Brownsville, Texas. The hotel contains 90 rooms and began operations in June 2006. The gross purchase price of the hotel was $8.55 million.

The aggregate gross purchase price of $56.65 million for these hotels was funded by the Company’s ongoing offering of Units. The Company leased all of its hotels to its wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS), or to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the TRS, under hotel lease agreements. No goodwill or intangible assets were recorded in connection with any of the acquisitions.

The Company also used the proceeds of its ongoing offering to pay 2% of the aggregate gross purchase price for these hotels, totaling $1.1 million, as a brokerage commission to Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. (“ASRG”). This entity is owned by Glade M. Knight, who is one of the Company’s directors and its Chief Executive Officer. These costs have been capitalized to investment in real estate properties.

At June 30, 2006, investment in real estate consisted of the following (in thousands):


Land	$	7,240
Building and Improvements		48,020
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment		2,999

		58,259
Less Accumulated Depreciation		(294	)

Investment in Real Estate, net	$	57,965

As of June 30, 2006, the Company has entered into purchase contracts for 11 additional hotels. Nine of these hotels are expected to close before year-end; two of these hotels are under construction and are expected to close in 2007. Although the Company believes it will acquire these hotels, there can be no assurance that all of the conditions to closing will be satisfied. Contract deposits for these hotels are included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2006, and in deposits and other disbursements for potential acquisition of hotel properties in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The following table summarizes the location, brand, gross purchase price, contract deposits, and number of rooms for each hotel. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

Note 3

Related Parties

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

The Company has entered into a Property Acquisition and Disposition Agreement with ASRG, to acquire and dispose of real estate assets for the Company. A fee of 2% of the gross purchase price or gross sale price, in addition to certain reimbursable expenses, is payable for these services. Fees paid to ASRG for property acquisitions are capitalized as part of the purchase price of the properties. Additionally, the Company has entered into an advisory agreement with Apple Seven Advisors, Inc. (“ASA”), to provide

management of the Company and its assets. An annual fee ranging from .1% to .25% of total gross equity proceeds received by the Company, in addition to certain reimbursable expenses, is payable for these services. ASA utilizes Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. (“AHT”) to provide these services. Advisory fees and other reimbursable expenses incurred by the Company under the ASA advisory agreement during the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 were $79 thousand and $135 thousand, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. ASRG and ASA are owned by Glade M. Knight, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company. Mr. Knight also serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AHT and of other real estate investment trusts. Members of the Company’s Board of Director’s are also on the Board of Directors of AHT and/or Apple Hospitality Five, Inc.

Note 4

Line of Credit

Prior to the commencement of the Company’s Unit offering, the Company obtained an unsecured line of credit in a principal amount of $400,000 to fund some of its offering expenses. The lender was Wachovia Bank, N.A. The line of credit was fully paid during March 2006 and discharged.

Note 5

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company has issued 240,000 Series B convertible preferred shares to Glade M. Knight, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, in exchange for the payment by him of $0.10 per Series B convertible preferred share, or an aggregate of $24,000. The Series B convertible preferred shares are convertible into common shares pursuant to the formula and on the terms and conditions set forth below.

There are no dividends payable on the Series B convertible preferred shares. Holders of more than two-thirds of the Series B convertible preferred shares must approve any proposed amendment to the articles of incorporation that would adversely affect the Series B convertible preferred shares.

Upon the Company’s liquidation, the holder of the Series B convertible preferred shares is entitled to a priority liquidation payment before any distribution of liquidation proceeds to the holders of the common shares. However, the priority liquidation payment of the holder of the Series B convertible preferred shares is junior to the holders of the Series A preferred shares distribution rights. The holder of a Series B convertible preferred share is entitled to a liquidation payment of $11 per number of common shares each Series B convertible preferred share would be convertible into according to the formula described below. In the event that the liquidation of the Company’s assets results in proceeds that exceed the distribution rights of the Series A preferred shares and the Series B convertible preferred shares, the remaining proceeds will be distributed between the common shares and the Series B convertible preferred shares, on an as converted basis.

Each holder of outstanding Series B convertible preferred shares shall have the right to convert any of such shares into Common Shares of the Company upon and for 180 days following the occurrence of any of the following events:

(1) substantially all of the Company’s assets, stock or business is sold or transferred through exchange, merger, consolidation, lease, share exchange, sale or otherwise, other than a sale of assets in liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company;

(2) the termination or expiration without renewal of the advisory agreement, or if the Company ceases to use ASRG to provide property acquisition and disposition services; or

(3) the Company’s common shares are listed on any securities exchange or quotation system or in any established market.

Upon the occurrence of any conversion event, each Series B convertible preferred share may be converted into a number of common shares based upon the gross proceeds raised through the date of conversion in the $1 billion offering according to the following table:


Gross Proceeds Raised from Sales of Units through Date of Conversion		Number of Common Shares through Conversion of One Series B Convertible Preferred Share
$	100 million	1.83239
$	150 million	3.19885
$	200 million	4.83721
$	250 million	6.11068
$	300 million	7.29150
$	350 million	8.49719
$	400 million	9.70287
$	450 million	10.90855
$	500 million	12.11423
$	550 million	13.31991
$	600 million	14.52559
$	650 million	15.73128
$	700 million	16.93696
$	750 million	18.14264
$	800 million	19.34832
$	850 million	20.55400
$	900 million	21.75968
$	950 million	22.96537
$	1 billion	24.17104

In the event that after raising gross proceeds of $1 billion, the Company raises additional gross proceeds in a subsequent public offering, each Series B convertible preferred share may be converted into an additional number of common shares based on the additional gross proceeds raised through the date of conversion in a subsequent public offering according to the following formula: (X/50 million) x 1.20568, where X is the additional gross proceeds rounded down to the nearest 50 million.

No additional consideration is due upon the conversion of the Series B convertible preferred shares. The conversion into common shares of the Series B convertible preferred shares will result in dilution of the shareholders’ interests.

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

Note 6

Pro Forma Information

The following unaudited pro forma information for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, is presented as if the acquisitions of the three hotels occurred on the latter of January 1, 2006 or the opening date of the hotel. The pro forma information does not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations would actually have been if such transactions, in fact, had occurred on these applicable dates, nor does it purport to represent the results of operations for future periods. The Company’s hotel in Houston, Texas opened in April 2006, and the Company’s hotel in Brownsville, Texas opened in June 2006.


(in thousands, except per share data)	For the three months ended June 30, 2006		For the six months ended June 30, 2006
Hotel revenues	$	2,352	$	3,963
Net income	$	593	$	851
Net income per share - basic and diluted	$	0.06	$	0.12

The pro forma information reflects adjustments for actual revenues and expenses of the three hotels acquired as of June 30, 2006 for the respective period in operation during 2006 prior to acquisition by the Company. Net income has been adjusted as follows: (1) depreciation has been adjusted based on the Company’s basis in the hotels; and (2) interest expense related to prior owner’s debt, which was not assumed, has been eliminated, and interest income has been reduced to reflect the use of cash balances to fund property purchases.

Note 7

Subsequent Events

On August 1, 2006, the Company entered into a contract for the purchase of a Homewood Suites hotel located in Sarasota, Florida. The gross purchase price for the hotel, which has 100 rooms, is $13.8 million.

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 Seven, Inc. together with its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a Virginia corporation that intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. The Company, which owned three properties as of June 30, 2006 and has a limited operating history, was formed to invest in hotels, residential apartment communities and other selected real estate. Initial capitalization occurred on May 26, 2005, when 10 Units (each Unit consisting of one common share and one Series A preferred share) were purchased by Apple Seven Advisors, Inc. and 240,000 shares of Series B preferred shares were purchased by Mr. Glade M. Knight, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Hotels Owned

The Company commenced operations in April 2006 upon the purchase of its first hotel property. As of June 30, 2006, the Company owned three hotel properties, with a total of 419 rooms. The following table summarizes the location, brand, date acquired, number of rooms and gross purchase price for each of the three hotels the Company owned at June 30, 2006:


Location	Franchise/Brand	Date Acquired	Gross Purchase Price		Number of Rooms
Houston, TX	Residence Inn	April 27, 2006	$	13,600,000	129
San Diego, CA	Hilton Garden Inn	May 9, 2006		34,500,000	200
Brownsville, TX	Courtyard	June 19, 2006		8,550,000	90

			$	56,650,000	419

The total gross purchase price for all three hotels of $56.65 million was funded by the Company’s ongoing best efforts offering of Units. The Company leases all of its hotels to its wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary (or a subsidiary thereof) under hotel lease agreements. The Company also used the proceeds of its offering to pay $1.1 million, representing 2% of the gross purchase price for these hotels, as a commission to Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. (“ASRG”), 100% owned by Glade M. Knight, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

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

Management and Franchise Agreements

Each of the Company’s three hotels are operated and managed, under separate management agreements, by affiliates of either Western International or Inn Ventures, Inc. Each agreement provides for an initial term of 5 year. 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 hotel 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 agreement. The Company has the option to terminate the management agreements if specified performance thresholds are not satisfied. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, the Company incurred $44 thousand in management fees.

Western International and Inn Ventures, Inc., are not affiliated with either Marriott or Hilton, and as a result, these hotels are required to obtain separate franchise agreements with each respective franchisor. The Hilton franchise agreement provides for an initial term of approximately 17 years. Fees associated with the Hilton agreement include the payment of royalty fees and program fees based on room revenues. The Marriott franchise agreements provide for an initial term of 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 three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, the Company incurred $77 thousand in franchise fees.

During the period from the Company’s initial formation on May 20, 2005 to April 26, 2006, the company owned no properties, had no revenue exclusive of interest income, and was primarily engaged in capital formation activities. Operations commenced on April 27, 2006 with the Company’s first property acquisition. A comparison of operations to prior year or prior three month period results is therefore not meaningful. In general, the performance of the Company’s hotels during their short initial period of ownership has met expectations. Hotel performance is impacted by many factors including local hotel competition, and local and national economic conditions in the United States. As a result of these factors, there can be no assurance that the Company’s operating performance will continue to meet expectations.

Revenues

The Company’s principal source of revenue is hotel room revenue and related other revenue related to hotel operations. Hotel operations included in the consolidated statement of operations were for the Company’s three hotels acquired through June 30, 2006 and the respective period of

ownership for each property. For the three and six month period ended June 30, 2006, the Company had total revenue of $1.7 million. For the period acquired through June 30, 2006, the hotels achieved combined average occupancy of approximately 62%, average daily rate (ADR) of $122 and revenue per available room (RevPAR) of $76. ADR, or average daily rate, is calculated as room revenue divided by the number of rooms sold, and RevPAR, or revenue per available room, is calculated as ADR multiplied by the occupancy percentage. These results reflect the fact that two of the company’s three hotels are new and recently opened, representing new entrants in their local hotel and lodging market. Newly opened hotels (such as the Company’s hotels in Houston and Brownsville, Texas) can have lower occupancy results during their initial months of operations, in comparison to more mature hotels, as sales and marketing efforts are initiated at the new property and market awareness begins to increase.

Expenses

For both the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, hotel direct expenses of the Company’s three hotels totaled $1.0 million representing 60% of total revenue. This expense as a percentage of revenue reflects the short period of operations for two of the Company’s three hotels, with the Company’s two hotels located in Texas opening in April and June of 2006. The Company’s other hotel property, located in California, began operations in 2004 and was purchased by the Company in May 2006. Hotel direct expenses as a percentage of room revenue for a new hotel will generally be higher in the initial months of operations, until the new hotel’s revenues and results of operations reflect greater market awareness and more stabilized operations.

Taxes, insurance, and other expense for the three month and six month period ended June 30, 2006 totaled $123 thousand, representing 7 % of total revenue.

General and administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 totaled $680 thousand and $745 thousand, respectively. Significantly impacting the level of general and administrative expenses incurred in the second quarter of 2006 were expenses associated with preparation for the initial opening for business of the Company’s hotels in Houston and Brownsville, Texas. Under terms of the applicable hotel purchase and management agreements, the Company was responsible for some training-related expenses for hotel staff and for certain expenditures for non-capitalized items associated with preparing the hotel rooms, kitchen and restaurant areas, and other interior and exterior areas, for operation. The total expenses associated with these pre-opening costs were approximately $465 thousand.

Depreciation expense for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 was $294 thousand. This amount represents depreciation expense of the three hotel buildings and related improvements, and associated furniture, fixtures and equipment, for the respective periods owned.

For the three and six month period ended June 30, 2006, the Company had interest income of $548 thousand and $630 thousand, respectively. Interest income represents earnings on excess cash invested in short term money market instruments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

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

From the Company’s initial capitalization on May 26, 2005 through June 30, 2006, the Company incurred costs of approximately $17.5 million related to its offering. These costs are reflected as a reduction to shareholders’ equity. As of June 30, 2006, the Company has closed on a total of 15.3 million Units, representing gross proceeds and proceeds net of selling and marketing fees of approximately $165.6 million and $148.1 million, respectively.

To maintain its REIT status the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its ordinary income. Distributions during the first six months of 2006 totaled $1.9 million and were paid monthly (beginning in April) at a rate of $0.073334 per common share, and included a return of capital. For the same period the Company’s cash generated from operations was $117 thousand. Due to the inherent delay between raising capital and investing that same capital in income producing real estate, the Company has had significant amounts of cash earning interest at short term money market rates. As a result, the difference between distributions paid and cash generated from operations has been funded from proceeds from our offering of Units, and this portion of distributions is expected to be treated as a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. The Company intends to continue paying dividends on a monthly basis, at an annualized dividend rate of $0.88 per common share. Since a portion of distributions has to date been funded with proceeds from the offering of Units, the Company’s ability to maintain its current intended rate of distribution will be based on its ability to fully invest it offering proceeds and thereby increase its cash generated from operations. Since there can be no assurance of the Company’s ability to acquire properties that provide income at this level, or that the properties already acquired will provide income at this level, there can be no assurance as to the classification or duration of distributions at the current rate. Proceeds of the offering which are distributed are not available for investment in properties.

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

Related Party Transactions

The Company has entered into a Property Acquisition and Disposition Agreement with Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. (“ASRG”), to acquire and dispose of real estate assets for the Company. A fee of 2% of the gross purchase price or gross sale price, in addition to certain reimbursable expenses, is payable for these services. Fees paid to ASRG for property acquisitions are capitalized as part of the purchase price of the properties. Additionally, the Company has entered into an advisory agreement with Apple Seven Advisors, Inc. (“ASA”), to provide management of the Company and its assets. An annual fee ranging from .1% to .25% of total gross equity proceeds received by the Company, in addition to certain reimbursable expenses, is payable for these services. ASA utilizes Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. (“AHT”) to provide these services. Advisory fees and other reimbursable expenses incurred by the Company under the ASA advisory agreement during the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 were $79 thousand and $135 thousand, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. ASRG and ASA are owned by Glade M. Knight, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company. Mr. Knight also serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AHT and of other real estate investment trusts. Members of the Company’s Board of Director’s are also on the Board of Directors of AHT and/or Apple Hospitality Five, Inc.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized 240,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock. The Company has issued 240,000 Series B convertible preferred shares to Glade M. Knight, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, in exchange for the payment by him of $0.10 per Series B convertible preferred share, or an aggregate of $24,000. The Series B convertible preferred shares are convertible into common shares pursuant to the formula and on the terms and conditions set forth below.

(2) the termination or expiration without renewal of the advisory agreement, or if the Company ceases to use ASRG to provide property acquisition and disposition services; or

(3) the Company’s common shares are listed on any securities exchange or quotation system or in any established market.


Gross Proceeds Raised from Sales of Units through Date of Conversion		Number of Common Shares through Conversion of One Series B Convertible Preferred Share
$	100 million	1.83239
$	150 million	3.19885
$	200 million	4.83721
$	250 million	6.11068
$	300 million	7.29150
$	350 million	8.49719
$	400 million	9.70287
$	450 million	10.90855
$	500 million	12.11423
$	550 million	13.31991
$	600 million	14.52559
$	650 million	15.73128
$	700 million	16.93696
$	750 million	18.14264
$	800 million	19.34832
$	850 million	20.55400
$	900 million	21.75968
$	950 million	22.96537
$	1 billion	24.17104

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

Subsequent Events

On July 17, 2006, the Company paid $.073334 per outstanding common share, totaling $1.1 million, in a dividend distribution to its common shareholders.

During July 2006, the Company closed on the issuance of 3,284,044 Units, representing gross proceeds to the Company of $36.1 million and proceeds net of selling and marketing costs of $32.5 million.

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 its hotels may cause quarterly fluctuations in its revenues. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, the Company expects to utilize cash on hand to make distributions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

The Company does not engage in transactions in derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. As of June 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 the proceeds from its sale of Units pending use in acquisitions. Based on the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances at June 30, 2006 of $85.9 million, every 100 basis points change in interest rates will impact the Company’s annual net income by approximately $859 thousand, all other factors remaining the same. Cash invested pending acquisitions will vary substantially during the current year based on the amount of proceeds raised and the timing and purchase price, net of any debt assumed, of property acquisitions.

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. Since that evaluation process was completed, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls.
