APPLE REIT EIGHT, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.
General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

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 financials should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements included in its 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the period ending December 31, 2008.

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 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 Units, each Unit consisting of one share of common stock and one share of Series A preferred stock, were purchased by Apple Eight Advisors, Inc. (A8A), owned by Glade M. Knight, the Companys Chairman
and CEO, and 240,000 Series B convertible shares were also purchased individually by Glade M. Knight. The Company began operations on November 9, 2007 when it purchased its first hotel. The Companys fiscal year end is December 31.
The Company has no foreign operations or assets and its operating structure includes two segments. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.

Significant Accounting Policies

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

In April 2008, the Company completed its best-efforts offering of Units by David Lerner Associates,
Inc., (the Managing Dealer), which received a selling commission and a marketing expense allowance based on proceeds of the Units sold. Additionally, the Company 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. From the Companys initial capitalization on January 22, 2007 through the conclusion of the offering, the Company sold
91.1 million Units for gross proceeds of $1.0 billion and proceeds net of offering costs of $899 million.

Investments

The Company owns equity securities that are classified as available-for-sale, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and are included in Other assets, net in the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as accumulated other comprehensive income or
loss.

Under Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 157 the investments are classified as Level 1 as the fair value is determined based on quoted
prices of identical investments. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments, as well as declines in value of a security considered to be other than temporary, are recognized in operations on the specific identification basis. As of
September 30, 2008, the Company owned marketable securities with a cost of $10.4 million and a fair value of approximately $6.9 million. The Company realized gains on sale of equity securities of $2.5 million during the nine months ending
September 30, 2008 which are included in Investment income in the Companys Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company reviews the status of each security quarterly to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has
occurred. Based on this review, the Company has concluded none of the available-for-sale securities has experienced an other-than-temporary impairment.

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 for the nine months ended 2008 or
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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. In February
2008, the FASB released FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-2  Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which defers the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial
assets and liabilities, except those items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The effective date of the statement related to those items not covered by the deferral
(all financial assets and liabilities or nonfinancial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis) is for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement did not have and is not anticipated
to have a material impact on the Companys results of operations or financial position.

In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair
Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of the guidance is to improve
financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is
effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. SFAS 159 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company has elected not to use the fair value measurement provisions of SFAS
159 and therefore, adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the financial statements.

In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an
entitys derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133). It also applies to non-derivative hedging instruments and all hedged items designated and qualifying as hedges under SFAS 133. SFAS 161 is effective
prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company does not currently have any instruments that qualify within the scope of SFAS
133, and therefore the adoption of this statement is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.

In addition to the gross purchase price for the hotels in New York, New York, Tallahassee, Florida, one of the Virginia Beach, Virginia hotels and the hotel in Savannah,
Georgia, the Company assumed land leases. The remaining minimum lease payments for the New York lease are $229.6 million and the term runs through August 2046. The remaining minimum lease payments for the Tallahassee lease are $3.2 million and the
term runs through December 2088. The remaining minimum lease payments for the Virginia Beach property are $0.9 million and the term runs through December 31, 2023. The remaining minimum lease payments for the Savannah property are $0.8 million
and the term runs through August 2054.

Also, as part of the purchase of the New York, New York hotel, the Company assumed six leases for retail space in
the building. The remaining terms of these leases range from approximately five to ten years and the remaining minimum lease payments to be received are $10.8 million. Rental income from these leases is recorded in Other Revenue in the
Companys Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business
Combinations (SFAS 141), the Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identified intangible assets and liabilities based on their respective fair values. In conjunction with the Companys
acquisition of the hotel in New York, New York and one of the Savannah, Georgia hotels in 2008, amounts were identified and allocated for market lease values and tenant relationships and are included in Intangible liabilities, net in the
Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts are being amortized to rental income and land lease expense over the remaining terms of the associated contracts. The total value of these liabilities was $10.2 million for the New York hotel
and $2.4 million for the Savannah, Georgia hotel.

The purchase price for the hotels, net of debt assumed, was funded by the Companys cash on hand.
Additionally, the Company used cash on hand to pay 2% of the aggregate gross purchase price for the 43 hotels purchased in the first nine months of 2008, totaling $16.3 million, as a brokerage commission to Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc.
(ASRG). This entity is wholly-owned by Glade M. Knight, the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. These costs have been capitalized to Investment in hotels, net.

3. 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 negotiated and entered into, a Property Acquisition and Disposition Agreement with ASRG, to provide brokerage services for the acquisition and
disposition of real estate assets for the Company. 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, 2008, payments to ASRG for services under the terms of this contract have totaled $17.9 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 A8A, pursuant to which A8A provides management services to the Company. An annual fee ranging from 0.1% to 0.25% of
total equity proceeds received by the Company, in addition to certain reimbursable expenses, are payable for these services. A8A utilizes Apple REIT Six, Inc. to provide these services. Advisory fees and other reimbursable expenses incurred by the
Company under the A8A advisory agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $2.0 million. These expenses are recorded in General and Administrative expense. For the period January 22, 2007 through September 30, 2007,
the Company incurred $149 thousand for these expenses.

##### Table of Contents

ASRG and A8A are 100% owned by Glade M. Knight, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company.
Mr. Knight is also Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Apple REIT Six, Inc., Apple REIT Seven, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc. (a newly formed company that intends to qualify as a diversified REIT). Members of the Companys Board of
Directors are also on the Board of Directors of Apple REIT Six, Inc., Apple REIT Seven, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc.

4. Shareholders Equity

In the second quarter of 2008, 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. The Company has registered 10 million Units for potential issuance under
the plan. Since inception through September 30, 2008, 795,255 Units were issued under the plan representing approximately $8.7 million.

The Company
has a Unit Redemption Program to provide limited interim liquidity to its shareholders who have held their Units for at least one year. Shareholders may request redemption of Units for a purchase price equal to 92% of the price paid per Unit if the
Units have been owned for less than three years, or 100% of the price paid per Unit if the Units have been owned more than three years. The maximum number of Units that may be redeemed in any 12-month period will be three percent of the weighted
average number of Units outstanding during the 12-month period immediately prior to the date of redemption. The Company reserves the right to change the purchase price for redemptions, reject any request for redemption, or otherwise amend the terms
of, suspend, or terminate the Unit Redemption Program. The initial redemption under the program occurred subsequent to the third quarter of 2008.

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;

##### Table of Contents

(2) the termination or expiration without renewal of the advisory agreement with A8A, 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. With the completion of the Companys $1 billion offering in April 2008, each
Series B convertible preferred share may be converted into 24.17104 common shares upon the occurrence of any conversion event.

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

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

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, compensation expense could range
from $0 to in excess of $63 million (assumes $11 per unit fair market value) which represents approximately 5.8 million shares of common stock.

6.
Segments

The Company separately evaluates the performance of each of its hotel properties. Until the acquisition of the hotel in New York, New York in
2008, each hotel owned was not individually significant; therefore, the Company consolidated all hotels into one reportable segment. Due to the significance of the New York, New York hotel, the Company now has two reportable segments. The Company
does not allocate corporate-level accounts to its operating segments, including corporate general and administrative expenses, non-operating interest income and interest expense. Dollar amounts are in thousands.

7. Pro Forma Information (unaudited)

The following unaudited pro forma information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 is presented as if the acquisitions of the Companys hotels acquired after December 31, 2007 had
occurred on the latter of January 1, 2008 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. Amounts are in thousands, except per share data.

The pro forma information reflects adjustments for actual revenues and expenses of the hotels acquired during the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 for the respective period owned prior to acquisition by the Company. Net income has been adjusted as follows: (1) interest income and expense have been adjusted to reflect the reduction in cash and cash
equivalents required to fund the acquisitions; (2) interest expense related to prior owners debt which was not assumed has been eliminated; and (3) depreciation has been adjusted based on the Companys basis in the hotels.

8. Subsequent Events

In October 2008, the Company
declared and paid approximately $6.7 million in distributions to its common shareholders, or $0.073334 per outstanding common share. Under the Companys Dividend Reinvestment Plan, $2.4 million were reinvested, resulting in the issuance of
approximately 219,000 Units.

In October 2008, the Company redeemed 94,836 Units in the amount of $1.0 million under its Unit Redemption Program.

On October 21, 2008, the Company closed on the purchase of a Marriott full-service hotel located in Chesapeake, Virginia. The total purchase price
for this hotel, which contains a total of 226 guest rooms, was $38.4 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, but are not limited to, the ability of the Company to implement its acquisition strategy and operating strategy; the Companys ability to manage
planned growth; changes in economic cycles 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 owned 49 properties as of September 30, 2008 and has a limited operating history, was formed to invest in hotels, residential apartment
communities and other real estate in selected metropolitan areas in the United States. Initial capitalization occurred on January 22, 2007, when 10 Units, each Unit consisting of one share of common stock and one share of Series A preferred
stock were purchased by Apple Eight Advisors, Inc. (A8A) 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. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Although hotel performance can be influenced by many factors including local competition, local and general economic conditions in the United States and the performance
of individual managers assigned to each hotel, performance of the hotels, in general, has met the Companys expectations for the period owned. In evaluating financial condition and operating performance, the most important matters on which the
Company focuses are revenue measurements, such as average occupancy, average daily rate and revenue per available room, and expenses, such as hotel operating expenses, general and administrative and other expenses described below. The following is a
summary of results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

##### Table of Contents

The total gross purchase price for all 49 hotels of $897.5 million less debt assumed of approximately $128.9 million was
funded primarily by the Companys best-efforts offering of Units which was completed in April 2008. The Company assumed existing mortgage loans on 15 of its hotel properties purchased. The Company leases all of its hotels to its wholly-owned
taxable REIT subsidiary (or a subsidiary thereof) under hotel lease agreements. The Company also used the proceeds of its offering to pay $17.9 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, Chief Executive Officer and President.

Of the
Companys 49 hotels owned at September 30, 2008, 43 were purchased during the first nine months of 2008. The total gross purchase price for these 43 hotels, with a total of 4,883 rooms, was $812.7 million. In addition to the gross purchase
price for the hotels in New York, New York, Tallahassee, Florida, one property in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Savannah, Georgia, the Company assumed land leases. The minimum remaining lease payments for the New York lease are $229.6 million and
the term runs through August 2046. The minimum remaining lease payments for the Tallahassee lease are $3.2 million and the term runs through December 2088. The land lease related to the Virginia Beach property was for a parking lot. The remaining
lease payments for this parking lot are $0.9 million and the lease expires in December 2023. The remaining lease payments for the Savannah lease are $0.8 million and the term runs through August 2054.

Results of Operations

During the period from the Companys
initial formation on January 22, 2007 to November 8, 2007, the company owned no properties, had no revenue exclusive of interest income, and was primarily engaged in capital formation activities. Operations commenced on November 9,
2007 with the Companys first property acquisition. A comparison of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 to prior year results is therefore not meaningful. Hotel performance is impacted by many factors
including local hotel competition, and local and national economic conditions in the United States. Since economic conditions throughout the United States have declined over the past several months, the Company expects weaker than originally
anticipated results for the properties it has acquired, until general economic conditions improve.

The Company separately evaluates the performance of
each of its hotel properties. Until the acquisition of its hotel in New York, New York in 2008, the Company had one reportable segment as each hotel owned was not individually significant. Due to the significance of the New York, New York hotel, the
Company now has two reportable segments.

Revenues

The
Companys principal source of revenue is hotel room revenue and other related revenue. Hotel operations included in the consolidated statement of operations are for the Companys 49 hotels acquired through September 30, 2008, for the
respective period of ownership for each property. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, the Company had total revenue of $49.1 million and $93.9 million. Revenue for the New York hotel was $3.7 million or 8% of total
revenue for the third quarter and $11.2 million or 12% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

For the three month period
ended September 30, 2008, the hotels achieved combined average occupancy of approximately 75%, average daily rate (ADR) of $125 and revenue per available room (RevPAR) of $94. The New York hotel had average occupancy of
73%, ADR of $247 and RevPAR of $180. All other hotels combined had occupancy of 74%, ADR of $125 and RevPAR of $93. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the hotels achieved combined average occupancy of approximately 74%, ADR of
$123 and RevPAR of $91. The New York hotel had average occupancy of 72%, ADR of $244 and RevPAR of $175. All other hotels combined had occupancy of 74%, ADR of $123 and RevPAR of $90.

The New York hotels market demands and receives a much higher room rate than the other hotel locations. The Company believes that previous management of the New York hotel did not monitor or maintain an
aggressive pricing strategy. Upon acquisition of the New York hotel, the Company transitioned the day-to-day management to an affiliate of Marriott, and will continue to implement and

maintain an aggressive pricing strategy. However, this hotel is currently undergoing a renovation and will be converted to a Marriott Renaissance hotel in
early 2009. As a result of the renovation, approximately 8 percent of the rooms were out of service in the third quarter of 2008. Due to the renovation and the current economic climate, RevPAR is not anticipated to increase for the remainder of 2008
at this hotel. The rates for the other hotels are comparable with industry and brand averages, and as a result of general economic conditions, the Company does not anticipate increases in RevPAR for the remainder of 2008 into 2009. RevPAR is
calculated as ADR multiplied by the occupancy percentage. ADR is calculated as room revenue divided by the number of rooms sold.

Expenses

For the three month period ended September 30, 2008, hotel direct expenses of the Companys hotels totaled $27.1 million or 55% of total
revenue. The New York hotel had direct expenses of $2.1 million or 56% of its total revenue for the quarter. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, hotel direct expenses were $51.4 million or 55% of total revenue. The New York
hotel had direct expenses of $6.3 million or 56% of its total revenue for the nine month period. Hotel direct expenses consist of operating expense, hotel administrative expense, sales and marketing expense, utilities expense, repair and maintenance
expense, franchise fees and management fees.

Taxes, insurance, and other expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 totaled $2.4
million or 5% of total revenues and $4.5 million or 5% of total revenues (of which approximately $149 thousand and $493 thousand related to the New York hotel).

Land lease expense was $1.6 million and $4.7 million for the three and nine month periods. This expense represents the expense incurred by the Company to lease land for five hotel properties. Four of these hotels, located in New York, New
York, Tallahassee, Florida, Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Savannah, Georgia were acquired in 2008. The fifth hotel, located in Somerset, New Jersey, was acquired in 2007. Land lease expense for the three and nine month periods for the New York hotel
was $1.5 million and $4.4 million.

General and administrative expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $1.0 million and
$3.4 million. The principal components of general and administrative expense are advisory fees, legal fees, accounting fees and reporting expense.

Depreciation expense was $6.8 million for the third quarter of 2008 and $14.5 million for the nine month period. This expense includes $1.1 million for the New York hotel for the quarter and $3.1 million for the nine month period.
Depreciation expense represents depreciation expense of the Companys hotel buildings and related improvements, and associated furniture, fixtures and equipment, for the respective periods owned.

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, the Company recognized interest income of $0.6 million and $6.0 million. Interest income represents
earnings on excess cash invested in short term money market instruments and certificates of deposit. Interest expense during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 totaled $1.8 million and $2.5 million and primarily
represents interest expense incurred on mortgage loans assumed on 15 hotel properties acquired during 2008.

During the first nine months of 2008, the
Company acquired and sold equity securities in several publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trusts, resulting in realized gains and other investment income of $3.3 million and net unrealized losses of $3.5 million. At September 30, 2008, the
Company owned marketable equity securities with a fair value of $6.9 million, and a cost of $10.4 million. These investments are recorded in Other assets, net on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company raised capital
through a best-efforts offering of Units by David Lerner Associates, Inc. (the Managing Dealer), which received selling commissions and a marketing expense allowance based on proceeds of the Units sold. Each Unit consists of one common
share and one Series A preferred share. The



19

##### Table of Contents

Series A preferred shares 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 are not separately tradable from the common shares to which they relate.

In April 2008, the Company concluded its best-efforts offering
of Units. From the Companys initial capitalization on January 22, 2007 through April 2008, the Company closed on a total of 91.1 million Units representing gross proceeds of $1 billion. The Company incurred costs of approximately
$101.4 million related to its offering. These costs are reflected as a reduction to shareholders equity.

To maintain its REIT status the Company is
required to distribute at least 90% of its ordinary income. Distributions during the first nine months of 2008 totaled $56.1 million and were paid monthly at a rate of $0.073334 per common share, and included a return of capital. For the same period
the Companys cash generated from operations was approximately $31.1 million. Due to the inherent delay between raising capital and investing that same capital in income producing real estate, the Company has had significant amounts of cash
earning interest at short term money market rates. As a result, the difference between distributions paid and cash generated from operations has been funded from proceeds from 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, 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.

At September 30, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $55.5 million, primarily as a result of its sale of Units through April 2008. The Company intends to use cash on hand to invest in hotels under contract and for
capital improvements at certain of its hotels. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has entered into purchase contracts for 7 hotels. Two of these hotels are expected to close within the next three months. Five of the hotels are under
development and are expected to close in 2009. Although the Company is working towards acquiring these hotels, there are many conditions to closing that have not yet been satisfied and 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, net in the Companys consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2008.

The following table summarizes the location, brand, number of rooms, contract deposits and gross purchase price for each hotel for which the Company has entered into purchase contracts. 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. The total shown for the table includes this combined
amount.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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, refurbishing of furniture, fixtures, and equipment, an amount of 5% of gross revenues provided that such amount may be used for the Companys capital expenditures with
respect to the hotels. The Company expects that this amount will be adequate to fund required repair, replacement, and refurbishments and to maintain the Companys hotels in a competitive condition.

Additionally, the Company is converting the hotel in New York to a Renaissance hotel. In order to complete this conversion, the Company anticipates spending
approximately $17 million in capital expenditures with $3.4 million having been spent through the third quarter of 2008.

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 negotiated and entered into, a
Property Acquisition and Disposition Agreement with ASRG, to provide brokerage services for the acquisition and disposition of real estate assets for the Company. 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, 2008, payments to ASRG for services under the terms of this contract have totaled $17.9 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 A8A, pursuant to which
A8A provides management services to the Company. An annual fee ranging from 0.1% to 0.25% of total equity proceeds received by the Company, in addition to certain reimbursable expenses, are payable for these services. A8A utilizes Apple REIT Six,
Inc. to provide these services. Advisory fees and other reimbursable expenses incurred by the Company under the A8A advisory agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $2.0 million. These expenses are recorded in General and
Administrative expense. For the period January 22, 2007 through September 30, 2007, the Company incurred $149 thousand in these expenses.

ASRG
and A8A are 100% owned by Glade M. Knight, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company. Mr. Knight is also Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Apple REIT Six, Inc., Apple REIT Seven, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc. (a
newly formed company that intends to qualify as a diversified REIT). Members of the Companys Board of Directors are also on the Board of Directors of Apple REIT Six, Inc., Apple REIT Seven, Inc. and Apple REIT Nine, Inc.

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 with A8A, 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. With the completion of the Companys $1 billion offering in April 2008, each Series B
convertible preferred share may be converted into 24.17104 common shares upon the occurrence of any conversion event.

In the event 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, compensation expense could range
from $0 to in excess of $63 million (assumes $11 per unit fair market value) which represents approximately 5.8 million shares of common stock.

Subsequent Events

In
October 2008, the Company declared and paid approximately $6.7 million in distributions to its common shareholders, or $0.073334 per outstanding common share. Under the Companys Dividend Reinvestment Plan, $2.4 million were reinvested,
resulting in the issuance of approximately 219,000 Units.

In October 2008, the Company redeemed 94,836 Units in the amount of $1.0 million under its Unit
Redemption Program.

On October 21, 2008, the Company closed on the purchase of a Marriott full-service hotel located in Chesapeake, Virginia. The
total purchase price for this hotel, which contains a total of 226 guest rooms, was $38.4 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS
157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly,
this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB released FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-2  Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which defers the effective date of SFAS 157 to
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The effective
date of the statement related to those items not covered by the deferral (all financial assets and liabilities or nonfinancial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis) is for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. The adoption of this statement did not have and is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Companys results of operations or financial position.

In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of the guidance is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and
liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. SFAS 159 is effective for the Company beginning
January 1, 2008. The Company has elected not to use the fair value measurement provisions of SFAS 159 and therefore, adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the financial statements.

##### Table of Contents

In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entitys derivative instruments and hedging activities and their
effects on the entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
(SFAS 133). It also applies to non-derivative hedging instruments and all hedged items designated and qualifying as hedges under SFAS 133. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim
periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company does not currently have any instruments that qualify within the scope of SFAS 133, and therefore the adoption of this statement is not anticipated to have
a material impact on the Companys financial statements.

|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, 2008, the Companys financial instruments were not exposed to significant market risk due to foreign
currency exchange risk or commodity price risk. The Company will be exposed to interest rate risk due to possible 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, 2008, of $55.5 million, every 100 basis points change in interest rates will impact the Companys annual net income by $0.6 million, all other factors remaining the same. As of
September 30, 2008, the Company was exposed to market risk due to equity price risk. At September 30, 2008 the Company owned marketable equity securities, classified as available-for-sale, with a cost of $10.4 million and a market value of
$6.9 million, resulting in an unrealized loss of $3.5 million in the first nine months of 2008. These equity securities were comprised of two publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trusts. There is no assurance that future declines in values will
not have a material adverse impact on the Companys future results of operations. A 10% decrease in the fair values of the Companys equity investments as of September 30, 2008 would decrease their fair values and reduce earnings by
approximately $0.7 million.



|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.
