Dear Shareholder

GLADE M. KNIGHT

Since Apple REIT Nine, Inc. entered the third quarter of this year, we have grown the portfolio from 44 Marriott®- and Hilton®-branded hotels to 71, with 9,137 guestrooms, in 26 states. With limited new supply entering the lodging market and an increase in demand, I believe this is an opportune time for the hotel industry and anticipate operations to strengthen in the coming months.

Apple REIT Nine’s purchasing strategy and the current acquisition marketplace have provided numerous advantageous buying opportunities. During the third quarter of this year, we acquired: a TownePlace Suites® by Marriott® in Ft. Worth, TX; a Hilton Garden Inn® in Silver Spring, MD; a Hilton Garden Inn® in West Monroe, LA; a Hilton Garden Inn® in Lafayette, LA; a Hampton Inn® in Kansas City, MO; a Hampton Inn® in St. Louis, MO; a Hampton Inn® in Rogers, AR; a Courtyard® by Marriott® in Alexandria, LA; a Hilton Garden Inn® in Grapevine, TX; and a Hilton Garden Inn® in Nashville, TN. Then, at the beginning of November, we acquired an additional 17 hotels, including: a Courtyard®, a Fairfield Inn & Suites® by Marriott® and a Hilton Garden Inn® in Austin, TX; a Hilton Garden Inn® in Schaumburg, IL; a Hilton Garden Inn® and a Residence Inn® by Marriott® in Mettawa, IL; a Hilton Garden Inn® in Warrenville, IL; a Hilton Garden Inn® in Novi, MI; a Courtyard® and a Residence Inn® in Phoenix, AZ; a Courtyard® and a Fairfield Inn & Suites® in Chandler, AZ; a SpringHill Suites® by Marriott® in Salt Lake City, UT; a Residence Inn® in Mishawaka, IN; a SpringHill Suites® in Indianapolis, IN; an Embassy Suites® in Tampa, FL; and a SpringHill Suites® in Andover, MA.

For the third quarter 2010, our hotels reported an occupancy of 70 percent and for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2010, 67 percent. Occupancy for the same periods last year was 62 percent and 64 percent, respectively. Average daily rate (ADR) for the third quarter of this year was $104 and for the first nine months of the year, $103, as compared to $100 and $107 for the same periods last year, respectively. Revenue per available room (RevPAR) for the third quarter of this year was $73 and for the nine months ending September 30, 2010, $69. RevPAR for the same periods last year was $62 and $68, respectively. Many of the hotels in the Apple REIT Nine portfolio are in the process of getting established within their respective markets. As our period of ownership grows, year-over-year comparisons will become more meaningful.

Funds from operations (FFO) for the third quarter of this year totaled $19.1 million, or $0.13 per share. For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2010, FFO equaled $46.3 million, or $0.37 per share. Distributions paid during the third quarter totaled $0.22 per share, the equivalent of an eight percent annualized rate based on an $11 share price. We continue to closely monitor hotel operations and projected long-term performance as compared to distributions. It is our goal to maintain a stable distribution rate given varying economic cycles and portfolio development. We are committed to maximizing shareholder value and we believe our conservative approach to hotel ownership and capital management will enable us to meet our goals over the long term.

Our portfolio of real estate has been acquired primarily on an all-cash basis and is diversified across 26 states and a variety of Marriott® and Hilton® brands. With the strength of our balance sheet and the quality of our portfolio, I am confident in the long-term success of our program. As always, thank you for your investment in Apple REIT Nine.

 

 

Sincerely,

(A) Funds from operations (FFO) is defined as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals – GAAP) excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, plus costs associated with the acquisition of real estate. Modified funds from operations (MFFO) excludes rental revenue earned, but not received during the period or “straight-line” rent. The company considers FFO and MFFO in evaluating property acquisitions and its operating performance and believes that FFO and MFFO should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash flows as a measure of the company’s activities in accordance with GAAP. FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

The financial information furnished reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position at September 30, 2010 and the results of operations for the interim periods ended September 30, 2010. Such interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the full year. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes appearing in the Apple REIT Nine, Inc. 2009 Annual Report.
