The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions
for 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 January 22, 2007 consolidated balance sheet included in the
Companys registration statement filed on Form S-11. Operating results for the period from January 22, 2007 (Initial capitalization) through September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.

Organization

Apple REIT Eight, Inc. (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 has no
operating history, was formed to invest in hotels, residential apartment communities and other income-producing real estate assets in selected metropolitan areas in the United States. Initial capitalization occurred on January 22, 2007, when 10
shares of common stock and Series A preferred stock were purchased by Apple Eight Advisors, Inc. (ASA) and 240,000 Series B convertible shares were purchased by Glade M. Knight, the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
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.

Significant Accounting Policies

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 Eight Hospitality Management, Inc. as a 100% owned taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS). The TRS will lease all hotels from the Company and be subject to income tax at regular corporate rates on any income that it would earn.

Start Up Costs

Start up costs are expensed as
incurred.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the
financial statements in conformity with United States 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.

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 shares sold. Additionally, the Company has incurred other offering costs including legal, accounting and reporting services. These
offering costs are recorded by the Company as a reduction of shareholders equity. Prior to the commencement of the Companys offering, these costs were deferred and recorded as prepaid expense. As of September 30, 2007, the Company
had sold 14,098,984 Units for gross proceeds of $152.7 million and proceeds net of offering costs of $136.6 million.

Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is
calculated after giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding for the period. There were no potential common shares with a dilutive effect during the period January 22, 2007 through September 30, 2007.
Series B convertible preferred shares are not included in earnings per common share calculations until such time the Series B convertible preferred shares are converted to common shares.

2. Summary of Potential Acquisitions

As of September 30, 2007, the Company had entered into purchase contracts
for 15 hotels. Five of the hotels were under development as of September 30, 2007, with expected completion dates in 2008 and 2009. Ten of the hotels are expected to close within the next six months. Although the Company believes there is a
reasonable probability that it will acquire these hotels, there can be no assurance that all of the conditions to closing will be satisfied. Contract deposits for these hotels are included in other assets in the Companys consolidated balance
sheet as of September 30, 2007 and in deposits and other disbursements for potential acquisition of hotel properties in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The following table summarizes the location, brand, gross purchase price, contract
deposits, and number of rooms for each hotel. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

3. Related Parties

The Company has negotiated and 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 will be payable for these services. The fees paid to ASRG will be capitalized as part of the purchase price of the properties.

The Company has negotiated and entered into, an advisory agreement with ASA to provide management of the Company and its assets. An annual fee ranging from 0.1% to 0.25%
of total equity proceeds received by the Company in addition to certain reimbursable expenses will be payable for these services. Advisory fees and other reimbursable expenses incurred by the Company under the ASA advisory agreement during the three
months ended September 30, 2007 were $82 thousand. For the period January 22, 2007 through September 30, 2007, the Company incurred $149 thousand for these expenses. These expenses are recorded in General and Administrative expense.

ASRG and ASA are 100% owned by Glade M. Knight, chairman and president of the Company. Mr. Knight is also chairman and chief executive officer of
Apple REIT Six, Inc. and Apple REIT Seven, Inc. Members of the Companys Board of Directors are also on the Board of Directors of Apple REIT Six, Inc. and Apple REIT Seven, Inc.

4. Stock Incentive Plans

The Company has adopted two stock incentive plans (the Incentive Plan and
Directors Plan) to provide incentives to attract and retain directors, officers and key employees. The plans provide for the grant of options to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock (Options) or grants
of restricted shares of common stock (Restricted Stock) to selected employees and directors of the Company. A Compensation Committee (Committee) will implement and administer the plans. The Committee will be responsible for
granting Options and shares of Restricted Stock and for establishing the exercise price of Options and the terms and conditions of Restricted Stock. In the third quarter of 2007, the Company issued 22,000 options under the Directors Plan and
recorded $20 thousand in compensation expense.

5. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Although the fair market value cannot be determined at this time, expense if the maximum offering is achieved could range from $0 to in excess of $63 million
(assumes $11 per unit fair market value).

6. 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 the offering expenses. The lender was Wachovia Bank, N.A. The line of credit
was fully paid during August 2007.

7. Subsequent Events

In October 2007, the Company paid approximately $4.5 million in dividend distributions to its common shareholders, or $0.11 per outstanding common share.

On October 9, 2007, the Company entered into a purchase contract for the potential acquisition of a Hilton Garden Inn hotel in Annapolis, Maryland. The gross purchase price for the 126 room hotel is $24.9 million, and a refundable
deposit of $250 thousand was paid by the Company in connection with the contract.

On October 25, 2007, the Company entered into a purchase contract
for the potential acquisition of a Residence Inn hotel in Marlborough, Massachusetts. The gross purchase price for the 112 room hotel is $20.2 million, and a refundable deposit of $250 thousand was paid by the Company in connection with the
contract.

During October 2007, the Company closed on the issuance of 43.1 million Units, representing gross proceeds to the Company of $473.6 million
and proceeds net of selling and marketing costs of $426.3 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 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 Eight, 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 owns no properties and has no operating history, was formed to invest in hotels, residential apartment communities and other selected real estate in selected metropolitan
areas in the United States. Initial capitalization occurred on January 22, 2007, when 10 shares of common stock and Series A preferred stock were purchased by Apple Eight Advisors, Inc. (ASA) 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 Companys fiscal year end is December 31. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries Apple Eight Hospitality, Apple Eight Residential, Apple Eight Ventures and Apple Eight Hospitality Management. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Results of Operations (January 22, 2007 through September 30, 2007)

During the period from the Companys initial formation on January 22, 2007 through September 30, 2007, the Company owned no properties, had no revenue exclusive of interest income, and was primarily engaged in capital
formation activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company is raising capital through a best-efforts offering of shares by David Lerner Associates, Inc. (the Managing Dealer), which receives selling commissions and a marketing expense allowance based on proceeds
of the shares sold. The minimum offering of 4,761,905 Units at $10.50 per Unit was sold as of July 27, 2007, with proceeds net of commissions and marketing expenses totaling $45 million. Subsequent to the minimum offering and through
September 30, 2007, an additional 9.3 million Units, at $11 per Unit, were sold, with the Company receiving proceeds, net of commissions, marketing expenses and other offering costs of approximately $91.6 million. The Company is continuing
its offering at $11.00 per Unit.

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.

##### Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2007, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $131.8 million, primarily as a result
of its sale of Units through that date. The Company intends to use funds generated from its best-efforts offering to invest in hotels, residential apartment communities and other commercial real estate. As of September 30, 2007, the
Company has entered into purchase contracts for 15 hotels. Ten of these hotels are expected to close within the next six months. Five of the hotels are under development and are expected to close in 2008 and 2009. Although the Company believes there
is a reasonable probability that it will acquire these hotels, there can be no assurance that all of the conditions to closing will be satisfied. Contract deposits for these hotels are included in other assets in the Companys consolidated
balance sheet as of September 30, 2007.

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.

|(a) | These two hotels are covered by the same purchase contract, which provides for a combined gross purchase price of $54,800 and a deposit of $1 million. These amounts are reflected in
the totals shown in the table.

To maintain its REIT status the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its ordinary income. Although the Company owns no real estate, distributions since the
initial capitalization through September 30, 2007 totaled $1.1 million and were paid at a monthly rate of $0.073334 per common share beginning in August 2007. For the same period the Companys cash generated from operations was $473
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 the offering of Units, and this portion of distributions is expected to be treated as a return of capital for federal income tax purposes.
The Company intends to continue paying dividends on a monthly basis, at an annualized dividend rate of $0.88 per common share. Since a portion of distributions has to date been funded with proceeds from the offering of Units, the Companys
ability to maintain its current intended rate of distribution will be based on its ability to fully invest its offering proceeds and thereby increase its cash generated from operations. Since there can be no assurance of the Companys ability
to acquire properties that provide income at this level, 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.

Related Party Transactions

The Company has negotiated and 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 will be payable for these services. The fees paid to ASRG will be capitalized as part of the purchase price of the properties.

The Company has negotiated and entered into, an advisory agreement with ASA to provide management of the Company and its assets. An annual fee ranging from 0.1% to 0.25%
of total equity proceeds received by the Company in addition to certain reimbursable expenses will be payable for these services. Advisory fees and other reimbursable expenses incurred by the Company under the ASA advisory agreement during the three
months ended September 30, 2007 were $82 thousand. For the period January 22, 2007 through September 30, 2007, the Company incurred $149 thousand for these expenses. These expenses are recorded in General and Administrative expense.

ASRG and ASA are 100% owned by Glade M. Knight, chairman and president of the Company.

Mr. Knight is also chairman and chief executive officer of Apple REIT Six, Inc. and Apple REIT Seven, Inc., other REITs. Members of the Companys Board of Directors are also on the Board of Directors of
Apple REIT Six, Inc. and Apple REIT Seven, 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.

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 Companys $1 billion offering according to the following table:

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.

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. Although the fair market value cannot be determined at this time, 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

In October 2007, the Company paid approximately $4.5 million in dividend distributions to its common shareholders, or $0.11 per outstanding common share.

On October 9, 2007, the Company entered into a purchase contract for the potential acquisition of a Hilton Garden Inn hotel in Annapolis, Maryland. The gross purchase price for the 126 room hotel is $24.9
million, and a refundable deposit of $250 thousand was paid by the Company in connection with the contract.

During October 2007, the Company closed on the issuance of 43.1 million Units, representing gross proceeds to the Company of $473.6 million and proceeds net of
selling and marketing costs of $426.3 million.

|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, 2007, the Companys financial instruments were not exposed to significant market risk due to interest rate
risk, foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk. The Company will be exposed to changes in short term money market rates as it invests the proceeds from sale of Units pending use in acquisitions and renovations. Based
on the Companys cash invested at September 30, 2007, of $131.8 million, every 100 basis points change in interest rates will impact the Companys annual net income by $1.3 million, 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.
