"Following our February 20, 2013 IPO and the smooth transition of the
management of our hotel assets to AHIP's external hotel manager, we
have experienced two successive quarters of stable operating results
that are in line with our expectations," said Mr. Rob O'Neill, Chief
Executive Officer. "In addition to providing for the growth of our
initial portfolio through an accretive acquisition program and
participation in strategic development opportunities, we have continued
to sharpen our focus on deploying AHIP's excess cash on an accretive
basis through the acquisition of additional high quality economy and
select service hotel assets in the US. Excluding the previously
announced 56-room $5.1 million property at Santa Teresa, New Mexico,
AHIP has four properties approximating $17 million under preliminary
agreement for addition to its rail portfolio. In addition to an
increasing volume of transactions coming onto the market, AHIP is
actively pursuing high quality select service hotel portfolios totaling
more than $100 million of acquisitions in its non-rail acquisition
pipeline."




Mr. O'Neill further commented, "With the strengthening of average daily
rates and occupancies to historic levels in the US Hotel Industry,
AHIP's properties are well-positioned to benefit from this trend.
Through accretive acquisitions and the expansion of our existing rail
portfolio, we intend to capitalize on the growth in the US Hotel
Industry and simultaneously utilize the substantial availability of low
interest CMBS financing to provide high returns of equity to our
stakeholders."

Non-IFRS Measures




Certain non-IFRS financial measures are included in this news release,
which include debt to gross book value, funds from operations ("FFO"),
adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO") and net operating income
("NOI"). These terms are not measures recognized under International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and do not have standardized
meanings prescribed by IFRS. Real estate investment trusts often refer
to FFO, AFFO and NOI as supplemental measures of performance and debt
to gross book value as a supplemental measure of financial condition.




Debt to gross book value, FFO, AFFO and NOI should not be construed as
alternatives to measurements determined in accordance with IFRS as
indicators of AHIP's performance or financial condition. AHIP's method
of calculating debt, gross book value, FFO, AFFO and NOI may differ
from other issuers' methods and accordingly may not be comparable to
measures used by other issuers. For further information, please refer
to AHIP's Management's Discussion and Analysis dated August 8, 2013
which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on AHIP's website at www.ahipreit.com.
