Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         Apple Suites,  Inc. ("we") makes this report pursuant to Item 2 of Form
8-K to describe a financing  transaction  involving the mortgaging of certain of
its assets.  This mortgaging  constitutes a "disposition of a significant amount
of assets" within the meaning of the General  Instructions to such form. Certain
related matters are also reported herein.

REFINANCING TRANSACTION - GENERAL

     On  September 8, 2000, we refinanced much of our short-term debt with loans
from  First  Union  National  Bank in the aggregate amount of $60 million. These
loans  are  described  below in other sections. We used these loans to repay the
four promissory notes we executed in 1999 when acquiring 11 hotels.

     On  September  8,  2000,  in connection with these loans, we formed two new
wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  and  transferred  a total of eight of our hotels to
the  new  subsidiaries.  Those  eight  hotels, together with our three hotels in
Texas,  serve  as  collateral for the lender. In addition, three of our existing
subsidiaries  have  amended their organizational documents to achieve conformity
with  the  organizational  documents for our new subsidiaries. These matters are
discussed in another section below.

     Of the $60 million  total we  borrowed,  $50 million is  repayable  over 10
years.  Thus, the refinancing  constitutes a change to our borrowing  policy, as
originally described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
because  we will  not  hold  our  properties  on an "all  cash"  basis  over the
long-term.

     When we  acquired  our first 13 hotels,  we elected to finance a portion of
the purchase price of each hotel by delivering  short-term  notes to the seller.
The use of this  short-term  debt was  consistent  with our  original  borrowing
policy,  which was to purchase  our  properties  either on an all-cash  basis or
using  interim  borrowings.  The  short-term  seller  financing was available on
attractive  terms and allowed us to purchase a greater  number of hotels at what
we believed to be more  attractive  prices than we could have purchased  without
the use of interim financing.  The intent, as expressed in previous filings with
the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  was to repay the  short-term  seller
financing with proceeds from the offering of common shares.

     As  indicated  in  previous   filings  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission,  when  proceeds  from our offering of common shares were raised more
slowly than was sufficient for repayment of the short-term seller financing,  we
needed to refinance the  short-term  seller debt.  Our loans through First Union
National Bank in the  aggregate  amount of $60 million are designed to refinance
the short-term seller debt that we perceived as difficult to repay when due with
proceeds from the sale of our common shares.  Since $50 million of the new debt,
as  described  in  this  Report,  has a term  of 10  years,  it is  not  interim
financing,  but is  longer-term  financing  which may stay in place for the full
10-year period. This financing is permitted by our organizational  documents and
on terms and  conditions  deemed by  management  to be favorable and in our best
interests and those of our shareholders.


                                      3
<PAGE>

     While our receipt of the loans from First Union National Bank, as described
in this Report,  represents a departure from the objective of purchasing all our
properties  on an  all-cash  basis or using  interim  borrowings,  we  intend to
pursue, on a going-forward basis, our objective of purchasing  properties either
on an all-cash basis or using interim borrowings,  but only to the extent we can
do so in  accordance  with the perceived  best  interests of our company and its
shareholders,  the rate at which attractive  acquisitions become available,  the
rate at which we receive  funds from the offering of our common shares and other
relevant factors. For the purpose of flexibility in operations, we may borrow on
such terms as we deem prudent, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors
and certain limitations imposed by our bylaws.

     Debts secured by mortgages and other  security  interests  involve  certain
risks,  including the possible  loss of equity in  properties or assets  through
foreclosure  following default on a loan.  Management believes both (1) that the
rent we are receiving as a result of the  operations of the hotels is sufficient
to make  regularly-scheduled  payments on our  existing  debt,  and (2) that our
remaining  short-term debt (including the $10 million portion of the refinancing
from First Union  National Bank and the remaining $23 million in the  short-term
seller  financing) will either be repaid from proceeds of our on-going  offering
of common shares or refinanced on terms acceptable to us. However,  there can be
no complete  assurance that either expectation will prove true. If either proves
untrue,  we  could  lose  some  or all  of  our  properties  or  assets  through
foreclosure.

     It  is our objective ultimately to own assets with a cost basis of at least
$200  million  and  with permanent debt not exceeding approximately $50 million.
Management  would  characterize  this  debt  level as "conservative," based upon
industry  standards.  There  is  no  assurance  that  we will be able to acquire
assets  at  the  indicated  level  or  will  be  able to,  or elect to, maintain
permanent  debt at the indicated level. Thus, this should be viewed merely as an
investment  objective  and not a prediction or assurance as to the future course
of events concerning our operations.

CERTAIN NEW SUBSIDIARIES

     In  connection  with the refinancing provided by First Union National Bank,
and  at  its  request,  we  formed  two  new wholly-owned subsidiaries that will
operate  as  "special  purpose  entities." These new subsidiaries were formed as
Virginia  corporations  under  the following names: Apple Suites SPE I, Inc. and
Apple Suites SPE II, Inc.

     The  new  subsidiaries  were  formed  to  receive  loans  from  First Union
National  Bank  and  to  hold certain hotels, which will serve as collateral for
the  lender.  To  qualify as special purpose entities, the new subsidiaries have
organizational  documents  that  impose certain requirements on the subsidiaries
while  the  loans are outstanding. The organizational documents for three of our
existing  subsidiaries  were  amended  to  include  the same requirements. Those
subsidiaries  are  Apple  Suites  REIT  Limited  Partnership  (which holds three
hotels  in  Texas),  Apple  Suites  General, Inc. (the sole general partner) and
Apple Suites LP, Inc. (the sole limited partner).

     In connection with these lender  requirements,  we are conducting an active
search  for   independent   directors   with  respect  to  our  four   corporate
subsidiaries.  Because these  requirements  only apply to our  subsidiaries,  no
changes  were  made  to  our  organizational   documents  as  a  result  of  the
refinancing.

     We  transferred  a  total  of  eight  of  our  hotels  to  our newly formed
subsidiaries  in connection with the refinancing. Those transfers are summarized
below:

     In  connection  with  these  transfers  and at the request of the lender, a
separate  hotel  lease  agreement for each hotel was executed by the appropriate
subsidiary,  as  lessor, and Apple Suites Management, Inc., as lessee. Our chief
executive  officer,  Glade  M.  Knight,  is the sole shareholder of Apple Suites
Management,  Inc.,  as well as its president and sole director. Each hotel lease
agreement  is  substantially  similar  to  the master hotel lease agreement that
applied  to  all  eight  hotels  prior to their transfer.

     The  following  chart  summarizes the ownership of our hotels as the result
of our refinancing and the related hotel transfers:

OVERVIEW OF LOAN AMOUNTS

     The   refinancing  provided  by  First  Union  National  Bank  consists  of
long-term  loans  made  to  three of our subsidiaries and a short-term loan made
directly  to  us.  The  long-terms loans are evidenced by 11 promissory notes in
the  aggregate  principal  amount of $50 million. These notes are secured by our
hotels,  as described in another section below. The short-term loan is evidenced
by  a  single  promissory  note in the principal amount of $10 million, which is
secured by our ownership interests in all of our direct subsidiaries.

     The  following  table  provides an overview of the promissory notes for the
$60 million refinancing:

LONG-TERM REFINANCING NOTES

     The  11  long-term  promissory  notes  for  the  $50 million portion of the
refinancing  are  substantially similar. Each of these promissory notes provides
for the following:

   o payment  of  principal  and interest on an amortized basis (calculated over
     a  25-year  period)  in equal monthly installments, with a balloon payment
     at maturity

   o acceleration,  at  the  option  of the lender, of all amounts due under the
     note  if   any  payment  of  principal or interest is not made within seven
     days of its due date or if there is any other event of default

   o a  late  charge  of  five  percent on  any  payment that is not made within
     seven days of its due date

   o an  increase  of  four   percent  in the  applicable interest rate upon any
     default

   o a  restriction  on  voluntary  prepayment,  which  is not permitted without
     penalty until the final three months of the note

   o after  two  years   we  may  cause  hotels  to be released as collateral by
     following certain procedures described below

     The  sum  of the fixed monthly installments for the 11 long-term promissory
notes  equals $419,598. At maturity on October 1, 2010, the balloon payments for
the notes will equal a total of $42,778,255.

                                      8
<PAGE>

     Revenue  from  the  hotels  will  be  used  to  make payments due under the
long-term  promissory notes. This revenue will include lease payments made to us
by   Apple   Suites  Management,  Inc.  (or  a  subsidiary)  under  hotel  lease
agreements.  There can be no assurance that hotel revenue will be sufficient for
this purpose.

     Additional   payments   will  apply  if  a  long-term  promissory  note  is
accelerated  upon  an event of default. The sum of these payments will be higher
if  the acceleration occurs in the first two years and will equal at least 5% of
the outstanding principal balance if acceleration occurs in the first year.

     Each long-term promissory note contains substantial  limitations on release
and  substitution  of  collateral.  The hotel that serves as collateral  under a
long-term  promissory  note cannot be released during the first two years of the
note.  After  that  date  a  release  of  the  collateral  can  be  obtained  by
substituting as collateral direct, non-callable obligations of the United States
that are  structured  to pay a series of  amounts  which  match,  as  closely as
possible, the remainder of the installments required under the promissory note.

     This mechanism provides us a limited  opportunity to cause properties to be
released from the liens of the mortgages. This could be helpful, for example, if
we receive an attractive offer from a prospective  purchaser of our hotels. This
requirement as to the purchase of substitute  collateral may make this mechanism
economically less attractive when compared with an unrestricted  right to prepay
the  obligation,  and its  usefulness  to us will depend  upon  future  economic
factors and opportunities.

     The  11  hotels that serve as collateral for the long-term promissory notes
are  subject  to  cross-default  and  cross-collateral  provisions under various
deeds  of trust and security instruments, which are among the material contracts
described  in  another  section  below.  These hotels have been divided into two
groups for purposes of the cross-collateral and cross-default provisions.

     In  general,  any  default  under  one  promissory  note  will constitute a
default  under  all other promissory notes in the same group and will enable the
lender  to  exercise  its  rights  against  all  of  the  hotels  that  serve as
collateral  for  that  group.  The  two  groups  themselves,  however,  are  not
connected  by  cross-default  or cross-collateral provisions. One group consists
of  the  six  hotels  owned  by  two  of  our  subsidiaries, and the other group
consists of five hotels owned by a single subsidiary, as indicated below:

     We  are required, as the parent company of these subsidiaries, to indemnify
the  lender  against  defaults  under  the  long-term  promissory  notes  and to
guaranty  the  collection  of  all  amounts  due  thereunder. These requirements
appear  in  an  Indemnity  and  Guaranty  Agreement, which is among the material
contracts described in another section below.

SHORT-TERM REFINANCING NOTE

     The  $10  million  portion  of the refinancing is evidenced by a short-term
promissory  note  made  payable by us to First Union National Bank. The maturity
date for this promissory note is March 8, 2001.

     Interest  will  be  based  on  the  lender's "prime rate" unless we make an
election  to convert to a LIBOR rate (which is determined by banks in the London
interbank  market).  Any  such election would remain in effect for the period we
specify in a written conversion notice, but

                                      9
<PAGE>


cannot  exceed  three  months.  We  may  continue  a LIBOR election, if made, by
delivering  a  written continuation notice to the lender at least three business
days  before  the election expires. The following table summarizes the available
interest terms:

<TABLE>

                                                                   continuation notice

OVERDUE AMOUNTS              rate (see above)                      interest rate (see above)
</TABLE>

     As of the date of this Report, we have not elected a LIBOR conversion,  but
we may  consider  doing so in the future,  based on our review of  economic  and
market conditions.

     We  are required to make principal payments consisting of 75% of any equity
proceeds  we  receive  from  our ongoing "best efforts" offering. Such principal
payments  are  considered  mandatory prepayments and are due within one business
day  after  we  receive the equity proceeds. Any prepayment of principal must be
accompanied  by  payment  of  accrued  interest. Revenue from the hotels will be
used  to  pay  interest  under  the  promissory notes. This revenue will include
lease  payments  made  to  us by Apple Suites Management, Inc. (or a subsidiary)
under  hotel  lease  agreements.  There  can  be  no  assurance  that the equity
proceeds  or  the  hotel  revenues  will  be  sufficient for these purposes. Our
obligation  to  use  75%  of  our  equity proceeds from the ongoing offering for
repayment  of the $10 million loan takes precedence over our obligation to apply
our  "net  equity  proceeds" to repayment of the remaining obligations to Promus
Hotels, Inc., which are described in another section below.

     We  may  make  voluntary  prepayments of the short-term refinancing note in
whole  or in part at any time. If a LIBOR conversion is in effect, we will incur
a  prepayment  fee,  regardless  of  whether  the  prepayment  is  voluntary  or
mandatory.  The  prepayment  fee  is  based  on  a  formula  that  measures  the
difference  between  the  interest that would have accrued in the absence of the
prepayment and certain bids in the London interbank market.

     We  pledged  100%  of our ownership interests in our direct subsidiaries as
security  for  the  short-term  promissory note. These pledges consist of common
shares  in  our  four corporate subsidiaries and our sole beneficial interest in
Apple Suites Pennsylvania Business Trust.

EXISTING FINANCING FOR HOTELS

     Our  existing  financing remains in place for two hotels, which are located
in  Pennsylvania  and Colorado and which were purchased from Promus Hotels, Inc.
in  2000.  This financing is being provided by Promus Hotels, Inc., based on 75%
of  the  purchase  price  for  the  hotels,  and  is  evidenced by the following
promissory notes:

          TOTAL      $22,780,500
                     ===========

</TABLE>

     These  promissory  notes  are  substantially similar, and each provides for
the following:

     o monthly interest payments, based on the actual number of days per month


     o our delivery of  monthly  notices to specify the net equity proceeds from
       our offering, which will be the intended source of principal payments, as
       explained below


     o our  right  to  prepay the notes, in whole or in part, without premium or
       penalty


     o a late payment premium of four percent for any payment not made within 10
       days of its due date


     Revenue  from  the hotels will be used to pay interest under the promissory
notes.  This  revenue  will  include  lease  payments made to us by Apple Suites
Management,  Inc.  (or  a  subsidiary) under the separate hotel lease agreements
for the two hotels.

     The  promissory  notes  contemplate that the "net equity proceeds" from our
offering  of common shares will be the source of our principal payments, subject
to  our obligation to First Union National Bank under the short-term refinancing
note,  as  discussed  above.  There  can  be  no  assurance  that the net equity
proceeds  will  be sufficient for this purpose. The phrase "net equity proceeds"
means  the  total  proceeds  from  our  offering of common shares, as reduced by
selling  commissions, a marketing expense allowance, closing costs, various fees
and  charges  (legal, accounting, and so forth), a working capital reserve and a
reserve for renovations, repairs and replacements of capital improvements.

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL REFINANCING CONTRACTS


Security Documents

     In  connection with the $50 million long-term refinancing provided by First
Union  National  Bank, the lender placed a mortgage and other encumbrances on 11
of  our  hotels.  The  other  encumbrances  include  a  security interest in the
personal  property  at  the  hotels  and  assignments  of hotel rents, revenues,
contracts  and  permits,  all  in  favor  of  the lender. These encumbrances are
created  by  multiple agreements and instruments, dated as of September 8, 2000,
which  will  be referred to as "security documents" for simplicity. The security
documents  are  related  to  the long-term promissory notes, which are discussed
above.


     The  security  documents  impose  a  number of requirements on three of our
subsidiaries,  as  the  owners  of the hotels, including obligations to maintain
adequate  insurance  and  the  hotel franchises. The security documents prohibit
any  further  encumbrances  or  any  further assignments of rents or leases with
respect to the hotels.


     Upon  any  default that occurs under a long-term promissory note or related
security  document, various remedies are available to the lender with respect to
the  hotels  in  the same cross-default and cross-collateral group, as discussed
above.  Those  remedies  include, for example (1) declaring the entire principal
balance  under  the promissory notes in the group, together with all accrued and
unpaid  interest,  to  be  due and payable immediately; (2) taking possession of
the  secured  property,  including  the  hotels in the group; and (3) collecting
rents  and  revenues,  or  foreclosing  on  the  hotels in the group, to satisfy
unpaid  amounts  under  the promissory notes. Our subsidiaries, as the makers of
the  long-term  promissory notes, would be required to pay any costs that may be
incurred in exercising such remedies.


     Furthermore,  upon  a  payment  default  by one of our subsidiaries under a
long-term  promissory  note,  the  lender  would  be  entitled  to  seek payment
directly  from  us  as the indemnitor under corresponding Indemnity and Guaranty
Agreements dated as of September 8, 2000.


Credit and Pledge Agreements


     In  connection  with  the  $10  million  short-term refinancing provided by
First  Union  National  Bank,  we  executed  a  credit  agreement  and  a pledge
agreement,  both  dated  as  of  September  8,  2000. The primary terms of these
documents are discussed above with respect to the short-term financing note.


Other Agreements


     With  respect to each hotel that serves as  collateral  for the $50 million
refinancing  provided by First Union National Bank, the lender received separate
and  substantially  similar  environmental  indemnity  agreements,  dated  as of
September  8,  2000  from us and the  subsidiary  that  owns the  hotel,  as the
indemnitors.  In  general,  these  agreements  provide  that the hotels  will be
operated in compliance  with all  environmental  laws,  and that the lender must
receive immediate notice of any non-compliance.  These  environmental  indemnity
agreements will survive full payment of the long-term promissory notes.


     In  addition  to  the  new  hotel  lease  agreements  for  the eight hotels
transferred  to our new subsidiaries, as discussed in another section above, the
lender  received  subordination  and attornment agreements dated as of September
8,  2000.  These  agreements provide that the lessee of the hotels, Apple Suites
Management,  Inc. or a subsidiary, will recognize the lender as the lessor under
the  hotel  lease  agreements in the event that the lender exercises its default
rights under the security documents to foreclose on the hotels.

                              APPLE SUITES, INC.
           PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR  THE  YEAR  ENDED  DECEMBER  31, 1999 AND THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000
                                  (UNAUDITED)

     The  following  unaudited  Pro  Forma  Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations  of  Apple  Suites,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  are  presented as if the
acquisitions  of  the  Homewood  Suites  hotels  from Promus Hotels, Inc. or its
affiliates   ("Promus")   (now   a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  Hilton  Hotels
Corporation),  and the recent refinancing in the aggregate amount of $60 million
(used  to  pay  4  promissory  notes  executed  by the Company in 1999), and the
leasing  of  the  hotels  to  Apple Suites Management, Inc. or a subsidiary (the
"Lessee"),  had  occurred  at  the  beginning  of  the periods presented for the
respective  periods  prior  to  acquisition  by  the  Company.  Such  pro  forma
information  is  based in part upon the Consolidated Statements of Operations of
the  Company,  the  Pro  Forma  Statements  of  Operations of the Lessee and the
historical  Statements  of  Operations  of  the acquired hotels. In management's
opinion,  all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of these transactions
have been made.


     The  following  unaudited  Pro  Forma  Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations  for  the  periods  presented  are not necessarily indicative of what
actual  results  of  operations  of  the  Company  would have been assuming such
transactions  had  been  completed as of the beginning of the periods presented,
nor  does  it purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.
The  lease  agreements between the Company and the Lessee were based on economic
conditions  at  the  time  of  acquisition.  Application  of these agreements to
periods  prior  to  the  acquisition may not be meaningful. The most significant
assumption  which  may  not  be indicative of future operations is the amount of
financial leverage employed.

(B) Represents  lease payment from the Lessee to the Company calculated on a pro
    forma  basis  by  applying  the  rent  provisions  in the master hotel lease
    agreement  to  the historical room revenue of the hotels as if the beginning
    of  the  period  was  the beginning of the lease year. The base rent and the
    percentage  rent  will  be  calculated  and  paid  based on the terms of the
    master hotel lease agreements.

(C) Represents  historical real estate and personal property taxes and insurance
    which  will  be  paid  by  the  Company  pursuant  to the master hotel lease
    agreements.  Such  amounts are the historical amounts paid by the respective
    hotels.

(D) Represents  the  advisory  fee of 0.25% of accumulated capital contributions
    under  the  "best  efforts" offering for the period of time not owned by the
    Company  (for  the  year  ended  December  31, 1999 and the six months ended
    June  30,  2000),  plus estimated legal and accounting fees, employee costs,
    salaries  and  other  costs  to  operate  as  a public company (for the year
    ended December 31, 1999).

(E) Represents  the  depreciation  on  the hotels acquired based on the purchase
    price,  excluding  amounts  allocated  to land, of $37,450,320 for the first
    acquisition   group,   $34,954,481   for   the   second  acquisition  group,
    $5,485,886  for  the third acquisition group, and $30,500,611 for the fourth
    acquisition  group  for  the  period  of  time not owned by the Company. The
    weighted   average  life  of  the  depreciable  assets  was  39  years.  The

    properties and the hotel industry in general.

(F) Represents  the  interest  expense for the hotel acquisitions for the period
    in  which  the  hotels  were  not  owned.  Interest  was  computed using the

    acquisition that was incurred at acquisition.

(G) Represents  additional  common shares, assuming the properties were acquired
    at  the  beginning  of  the periods presented with the net proceeds from the
    ongoing  "best  efforts"  offering of $9 per share (net $8.06 per share) for
    the  first  $15,000,000  and  $10  per  share  (net $8.95 per share) for the
    remainder.

(H) Represents  rent  expense  on  the ground lease at the Malvern, Pennsylvania

                         APPLE SUITES MANAGEMENT, INC.
           PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR  THE  YEAR  ENDED  DECEMBER  31, 1999 AND THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000
                                  (UNAUDITED)

     The  following  unaudited  Pro  Forma  Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations  of  Apple Suites Management, Inc. (the "Lessee") are presented as if
the  hotels  purchased  or  to  be  purchased  from  Promus  Hotels, Inc. or its
affiliates  ("Promus"),  which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hilton Hotels
Corporation,  had  been  leased from Apple Suites, Inc. (the "Company") pursuant
to  the  master  hotel  lease agreements from the beginning of periods presented
for  the  respective  periods  prior to acquisition by the Company. Further, the
results  of  operations  reflect  the management agreement and license agreement
entered  into  between  Promus  and  the  Lessee  or an affiliate to operate the
acquired  hotels.  The master hotel lease agreements between the Company and the
Lessee   were   based  on  economic  conditions  at  the  time  of  acquisition.
Application  of  these agreements to periods prior to the acquisition may not be
meaningful.  Such  pro  forma information is based in part upon the Consolidated
Statements  of  Operations  of the Lessee and should be read in conjunction with
such  financial  statements.  In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary
to reflect the effects of these transactions have been made.

     The  following  unaudited  Pro  Forma  Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations  are  not  necessarily  indicative  of  what  the  actual  results of
operations  of  the  Lessee  would have been assuming such transactions had been
completed  as  of the beginning of the periods presented, nor do they purport to
represent the results of operations for future periods.
