EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2011 of Summit Hotel Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Summit Hotel OP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership.

Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references in this report to:

“Summit REIT” mean Summit Hotel Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation;

“Summit OP” mean Summit Hotel OP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, our operating partnership;

“our predecessor” mean Summit Hotel Properties, LLC, a South Dakota limited liability company that was merged into Summit OP on February 4, 2011 and is considered the acquiror for accounting purposes; and

“we,” “our,” “us,” “our company” or “the company” mean Summit REIT, Summit OP and their consolidated subsidiaries taken together as one enterprise. When this report discusses or refers to activities occurring prior to February 14, 2011, the date on which our operations commenced, these references refer to our predecessor.

Summit REIT is the sole member of Summit Hotel GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is the sole general partner (the “General Partner”) of Summit OP. Effective as of February 14, 2011, our predecessor merged with and into Summit OP, with the former members of our predecessor exchanging their membership interests in our predecessor for common units of partnership interest of Summit OP (“Common Units”) and Summit OP succeeding to the business and assets of our predecessor. Also, on February 14, 2011, Summit REIT completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and a concurrent private placement of its common stock and contributed the net proceeds of the IPO and concurrent private placement to Summit OP in exchange for Common Units. As of June 30, 2011, Summit REIT owned an approximate 73% partnership interest in Summit OP, including the sole general partnership interest held by the General Partner. As the sole member of the General Partner, Summit REIT has exclusive control of Summit OP’s day-to-day management. The remaining interests in Summit OP are owned by third parties, including the former members of our predecessor.

We believe combining the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of Summit REIT and Summit OP into this single report provides the following benefits:

it enhances investors’ understanding of Summit REIT and Summit OP by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

it eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both Summit REIT and Summit OP; and

it creates time and cost efficiencies for both companies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

We also believe it is important to understand the few differences between Summit REIT and Summit OP in the context of how Summit REIT and Summit OP operate as a consolidated company. Summit REIT intends to elect and qualify to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for its short taxable year ending December 31, 2011.

Summit REIT’s only material assets are its ownership of Common Units of Summit OP and its ownership of the membership interests in the General Partner. As a result, Summit REIT does not conduct business itself, other than controlling, through the General Partner, Summit OP, raising capital through issuances of equity securities from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of Summit OP and its subsidiaries. Summit OP and its subsidiaries hold all the assets of the consolidated company. Except for net proceeds from securities issuances by Summit REIT, which are contributed to Summit OP in exchange for partnership units of Summit OP, Summit OP and its subsidiaries generate capital from the operation of our business and through borrowings and the issuance of partnership units of Summit OP.

Stockholders’ equity, partners’ capital and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of Summit REIT and those of Summit OP. Summit OP’s capital interests include Common Units representing general and limited partnership interests. The Common Units owned by limited partners other than Summit REIT and its subsidiaries are accounted for in partners’ capital in Summit OP’s consolidated financial statements and within stockholders’ equity in Summit REIT’s consolidated financial statements as noncontrolling interests.

In order to highlight the differences between Summit REIT and Summit OP, there are sections in this report that separately discuss Summit REIT and Summit OP, including separate financial statements and notes thereto and separate Exhibit 31 and Exhibit 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure for Summit REIT and Summit OP (i.e., where the disclosure refers to the consolidated company), this report refers to actions or holdings as our actions or holdings and, unless otherwise indicated, means the actions or holdings of Summit REIT and Summit OP and their respective subsidiaries, as one consolidated enterprise.

As the sole member of the General Partner, Summit REIT consolidates Summit OP for financial reporting purposes, and Summit REIT does not have assets other than its investment in the General Partner and Summit OP. Therefore, while stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital differ as discussed above, revenues and expenses, and the assets and liabilities of Summit REIT and Summit OP are the same on their respective financial statements.

Finally, we refer to a number of other entities in this report as follows. Unless the context otherwise requires or indicates, references in this report to:

“our predecessor” include Summit Group of Scottsdale, Arizona, LLC (“Summit of Scottsdale”);

“our TRSs” refer to Summit Hotel TRS, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Summit Hotel TRS II, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and any other taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) that we may form in the future;

“our TRS lessees” refer to our TRSs and the wholly owned subsidiaries of our TRSs that lease our hotels from Summit OP or subsidiaries of Summit OP; and

“The Summit Group” refer to The Summit Group, Inc., our predecessor’s hotel management company, Company Manager and Class C Member, which is wholly owned by our Executive Chairman, Kerry W. Boekelheide.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 2011

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BUSINESS

Basis of Presentation

Summit Hotel Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) is a self-advised hotel investment company that was organized on June 30, 2010 as a Maryland corporation. The Company holds both general and limited partner interests in Summit Hotel OP, LP (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership also organized on June 30, 2010. On February 14, 2011, the Company closed on its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 26,000,000 shares of common stock and a concurrent private placement of 1,274,000 shares of common stock. Effective February 14, 2011, the Operating Partnership and Summit Hotel Properties, LLC, (the Predecessor”) completed the merger of the Predecessor with and into the Operating Partnership (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger, the outstanding Class A, Class A-1, Class B and Class C membership interests in the Predecessor were converted into, and cancelled in exchange for, a total of 9,993,992 common units of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“Common Units”), and the members of the Predecessor were admitted as limited partners of the Operating Partnership. Also effective February 14, 2011, The Summit Group, Inc., the parent company of the Predecessor (“The Summit Group”), contributed its 36% Class B membership interest in Summit Group of Scottsdale, AZ LLC (“Summit of Scottsdale”) to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 74,829 Common Units and an unaffiliated third-party investor contributed its 15% Class C membership interest in Summit of Scottsdale to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 31,179 Common Units. Effective February 14, 2011, the Company contributed the net proceeds of the IPO and the concurrent private placement to the Operating Partnership in exchange for an aggregate of 27,274,000 Common Units. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. Unless the context otherwise requires, “we” and “our” refer to the Company and the Operating Partnership collectively.

For accounting and financial reporting purposes, the Predecessor is considered the acquiror in the Merger. As a result, the historical consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor are presented as the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Operating Partnership after completion of the Merger and the contributions of the Class B and C membership interests in Summit of Scottsdale to the Operating Partnership (collectively, the “Reorganization Transaction”).

As a result of the Reorganization Transaction, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries acquired sole ownership of the 65 hotels in its initial portfolio. In addition, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries assumed the liabilities, including indebtedness, of the Predecessor and its subsidiaries.

As of June 30, 2011, our real estate investment portfolio consists of 69 upscale, upper midscale and midscale hotels with a total of 7,010 guestrooms located in small, mid-sized and suburban markets in 19 states. (see Note 8 for new acquisitions) The hotels are leased to subsidiaries (“TRS Lessees”) of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). The Company indirectly owns 100% of the outstanding equity interests in the TRS Lessees.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for reporting on interim periods. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Interim results may not be indicative of fiscal year performance because of seasonal and other factors. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our combined Annual Report on Form 10-K filing for the year ended December 31, 2010. In management’s opinion, all adjustments made were normal and recurring in nature, and were necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim period. The December 31, 2010 balance sheet has been derived from the Predecessor’s audited financial statements included in our combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

JUNE 30, 2011

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, and the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership include the accounts of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an update (ASU No. 2010-06) to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to improve disclosure requirements regarding transfers, classes of assets and liabilities, and inputs and valuation techniques. Certain provisions of ASU No. 2010-06 to ASC 820 related to separate line items for all purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of financial instruments valued using Level 3 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this ASC update on January 1, 2011 had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements or disclosures of the Company, the Operating Partnership or the Predecessor.

In May 2011, FASB issued an update (ASU No. 2011-04) to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and IFRS. This update is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not feel that this will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in equity. ASU 2011-05 is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not feel that this will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 2011

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when rooms are occupied and services have been rendered.

Fair Value

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under generally accepted accounting principles as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value, as required by Topic 820 of the FASB ASC, must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Our estimates of the fair value of financial instruments as of June 30, 2011 were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, accounts payable and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

As of June 30, 2011, the aggregate fair value of our consolidated mortgages and notes payable is approximately $253.5 million, compared to the aggregate carrying value of approximately $251.7 million on our consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2010, the aggregate fair value was approximately $401.2 million compared to the aggregate carrying value of approximately $400.8 million.

FASB ASC 820 also requires that non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities be disclosed at fair value in the financial statements if these items are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, such as in determining impairment loss or the value of assets held for sale as described below.

Depreciation and Amortization of Hotels

Hotels are carried at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 27 to 40 years for buildings and two to 15 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives and classification of our properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation expense to reflect each year with respect to the assets.

Long-Lived Assets and Impairment

We apply the provisions of FASB ASC 360, Property Plant and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.

We monitor events and changes in circumstances for indicators that the carrying value of a hotel and related assets may be impaired. Factors that could trigger an impairment analysis include, among others: (1) significant underperformance relative to historical or projected operating results, (2) significant changes in the manner of use of a hotel or the strategy of our overall business, (3) a significant increase in competition, (4) a significant adverse change in legal factors or regulations or (5) significant negative industry or economic trends. When such factors are identified, we prepare an estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, without interest charges, of the specific hotel and determine if the investment in such hotel is recoverable based on the undiscounted future cash flows. If impairment is indicated, an adjustment is made to the carrying value of the hotel to reflect the hotel at fair value.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 2011

Assets Held for Sale

FASB ASC 360 requires a long-lived asset to be sold to be classified as “held for sale” in the period in which certain criteria are met, including that the sale of the asset within one year is probable. FASB ASC 360 also requires that the results of operations of a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale be reported in discontinued operations if the operations and cash flows of the component have been or will be eliminated from our ongoing operations.

As a part of regular policy, we periodically review hotels based on established criteria such as age of hotel property, type of franchise associated with hotel property, and adverse economic and competitive conditions in the region surrounding the property. During the period, we completed a comprehensive review of our investment strategy and of our existing hotel portfolio to identify properties which we believe is either non-core or no longer complement the business as required by FASB ASC 360. We do not believe that any properties meet this criteria at this time.

Acquisitions

We allocate the purchase price of acquisitions based on the fair value of the acquired land, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment, goodwill, other assets and assumed liabilities. We determine the acquisition-date fair values of all assets and assumed liabilities using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers, for example, using a discounted cash flow analysis that utilizes appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

Equity-Based Compensation

We have adopted the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, which provides for the grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights and other stock-based awards, or any combination of the foregoing. Equity-based compensation is recognized as an expense in the financial statements over the vesting period and measured at the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The amount of the expense may be subject to adjustment in future periods depending on the specific characteristics of the equity-based award and the application of accounting guidance.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax (other than taxes paid by our TRSs) to the extent we currently distribute 100% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless we satisfy certain relief provisions.

SUMMIT HOTEL PROPERTIES, INC., SUMMIT HOTEL OP, LP, AND SUMMIT HOTEL PROPERTIES, LLC (PREDECESSOR)

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 2011

We accounted for federal and state income taxes with respect to our TRSs using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statements’ carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and respective tax bases and operating losses and tax-credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

NOTE 2 - INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

As noted above, on February 14, 2011, the Company closed its IPO of 26,000,000 shares of common stock and its concurrent private placement of 1,274,000 shares of common stock. Net proceeds received by the Company and the Operating Partnership from the IPO and the concurrent private placement were $240.9 million, after deducting the underwriting discount related to the IPO of $17.7 million and the payment of offering expenses of approximately $7.3 million. The Company contributed the net proceeds of the IPO and the concurrent private placement to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Common Units.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS

We have made four acquisitions during the second quarter of 2011. We purchased the Homewood Suites in Ridgeland, MS on April 15, 2011 for approximately $7.3 million, the Staybridge Suites in Glendale, CO on April 27, 2011 for approximately $10.0 million, the Holiday Inn in Duluth, GA on April 27, 2011 for approximately $7.0 million, and the Hilton Garden Inn in Duluth, GA for approximately $13.4 million on May 25, 2011. The purchases were financed with borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility. We did not acquire any intangibles or assume any debt related to these four acquisitions.

The following table illustrates the allocation of the aggregated purchase prices for the purchases discussed above during 2011:

―	approximately $78.2 million to repay in full a loan originally made by Lehman Brothers Bank, including approximately $1.4 million to pay an extinguishment premium and other transaction costs;

―	approximately $21.4 million to repay in full two loans from Marshall & Isley Bank; and

―	approximately $38.3 million to repay in full two loans from First National Bank of Omaha.

In connection with the March 23, 2011 termination of franchise agreements with Choice, we executed agreements with ING Investment Management and with GECC in connection with the termination of the franchise agreements with respect to the hotels securing loans from these lenders.

We entered into agreement with ING Investment Management (“ING”) pursuant to which ING agreed to forbear, for a period of 120 days, from declaring any default relating to the termination of the Choice franchise agreements. On July 27, 2011, ING agreed to substitute the SpringHill Suites, Flagstaff, AZ, and the Staybridge Suites, Ridgeland, MS, and release the AmericInn, Fort Smith, AR (formerly Comfort Inn) and AmericInn, Missoula, MT (formerly Comfort Inn), and otherwise waive any defaults related to the termination and change of franchise. The collateral substitution is anticipated to close on or before September 10, 2011, and is subject to satisfaction of typical due diligence and documentation.

GECC agreed to waive any default relating to the termination of the Choice franchise agreements, provided that an event of default would be declared if a replacement franchise agreement is not entered into by August 15, 2011. On July 25, 2011, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent pursuant to which we and GECC agreed to modify the loans as follows: (a) decrease the interest rate to 90-day LIBOR plus 3.50%; (b) certain fixed charge coverage ratios will be modified to reflect the stabilization of revenues of the former Choice hotels after their conversion to other nationally-recognized brands and (c) we will pledge additional collateral to the loans, including the Aloft, Jacksonville, Florida, the Hyatt Place, Las Colinas, Texas, and the Fairfield Inn, Boise, Idaho, which liens on these three additional hotels may be released upon satisfaction of certain fixed charge coverage ratio tests on the collateralized hotels as well as on our entire hotel portfolio. The modification cures any potential default under the GECC loans related to the change in franchise, and was closed August 15, 2011.

JUNE 30, 2011

On March 31, 2011, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Company, as guarantor, entered into a $30.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch. The purpose of the revolving credit facility was to fund hotel acquisitions, to fund capital expenditures, to refinance debt and for general working capital purposes.

On April 29, 2011, we terminated the $30.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility and the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Company, as guarantor, entered into a $100.0 million, three-year (with an option to extend for one additional year if we meet certain requirements) senior secured revolving credit facility with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as lead arranger, and a syndicate of lenders including Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, Royal Bank of Canada, KeyBank National Association and Regions Bank. We will pay interest on the periodic advances under the senior secured revolving credit facility at varying rates, based upon, at our option, either (i) 1-, 2-, 3- or 6-month LIBOR, subject to a floor of 0.50%, plus a LIBOR margin between 2.50% - 3.50%, depending upon the ratio of our outstanding consolidated total indebtedness to EBITDA (as defined in the loan documentation), or (ii) the applicable base rate, which is the greatest of the administrative agent’s prime rate, 0.50% plus the federal funds effective rate, and 1-month LIBOR (incorporating the floor of 0.50%) plus 1.00%, plus a margin between 1.50% - 2.50% depending upon the ratio of outstanding consolidated total indebtedness to EBITDA (as defined in the loan documentation). Borrowing availability under the facility is subject to a borrowing base of properties pledged as collateral for borrowings under the facility and other conditions.

On May 13, 2011, the Operating Partnership entered into an agreement with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch and U.S. Bank National Association that increased the maximum aggregate amount of the credit facility from $100.00 million to $125.0 million. As of June 30, 2011, the outstanding principal balance on this secured credit facility was approximately $42.7 million. Our borrowing capacity as of June 30, 2011 was $59.8 million and $17.1 million was available for future use.

On June 28, 2011, we entered into a loan agreement with Goldman Sachs Commercial Mortgage Capital, LP for a loan in the principal amount of $14.75 million secured by a first mortgage lien on real estate, improvements, and personal property related to the SpringHill Suites hotel in Bloomington, MN and the Hampton Inn & Suites hotel in Bloomington, MN. The interest rate is fixed at 5.67%. The loan matures July 6, 2016, and principal and interest payments are amortized over a 25 year period. The loan may not be prepaid before the earlier of the second anniversary of the date on which the loan has been securitized or June 28, 2014, and after such time is subject to prepayment based upon standard defeasance. The loan is non-recourse, except to Summit OP in the event of standard recourse carve-out provisions. The borrower must maintain a net operating income at the hotels of at least 80% of net operating income on the date of closing, or excess cash flow from the hotels will be reserved and subject to lender control.

NOTE 5 - NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

As of June 30, 2011, limited partners of the Operating Partnership other than the Company owned 10,100,000 Common Units representing an approximate 27% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. Pursuant to the limited partnership agreement, limited partners other than the Company have redemption rights that will enable them to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem their Common Units in exchange for cash, or at the Operating Partnership’s option, shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon redemption of Common Units may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events such as share dividends, share subdivisions or combinations.

SUMMIT HOTEL PROPERTIES, INC., SUMMIT HOTEL OP, LP, AND SUMMIT HOTEL PROPERTIES, LLC (PREDECESSOR)

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 2011

The holders of Common Units have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem part or all of the Common Units for cash based upon the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock at the time of redemption. However, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to acquire the Common Units in exchange for its common stock on a one-for-one basis beginning on the first anniversary of completion of the IPO. Based on this assessment, which includes the evaluation of terms in the agreements related to redemption provisions, the Company has classified these Common units as noncontrolling interests as a component of permanent equity on the June 30, 2011 consolidated balance sheet. The share of net loss allocated to these OP units is reported on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the period February 14, 2011 through June 30, 2011 as net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. For the period from February 14, 2011 through June 30, 2011, no OP units were redeemed.

NOTE 6 - EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all equity-based payments. The compensation expense is recognized based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. All of the Company’s existing stock option awards have been determined to be equity-classified awards.

The Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the granting of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights, and other equity-based award or incentive award up to an aggregate of 2,318,290 shares of the Company’s common stock. Options granted may be either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. Vesting terms may vary with each grant, and option terms are generally five to ten years.

Concurrent with the completion of the IPO, the Company granted options to purchase 940,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Options to purchase shares of common stock were granted with exercise prices equal to $9.75 per share, the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options vest on a ratable basis over a five year period following the date of grant and options terms are generally five to ten years following the date of grant. The fair value of stock options granted was estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:

	2011

Expected dividend yield at date of grant		5.09	%
Expected stock price volatility		56.6	%
Risk-free interest rate		2.57	%
Expected life of options (in years)		6.5

The risk-free interest rate assumptions were based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The expected volatility was based on historical monthly price changes of a peer group of comparable entities based on the expected life of the options at the date of grant. The expected life of options is the average number of years the Company estimates that options will be outstanding. The Company considers groups of associates that have similar historical exercise behavior separately for valuation purposes.

Concurrent with the completion of the IPO, the Company granted 4,000 shares of stock to directors of the Company under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan and recognized $39,000 of compensation expense. These shares vested concurrent with the grant.

NOTE 7 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Diluted loss per share was the same as basic loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 because all outstanding stock option awards were anti-dilutive.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are involved from time to time in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, however, we are not currently aware of any actions against us that we believe would materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

On March 23, 2011, Choice Hotels International terminated the franchise agreements for the following hotels effective that date:

●	Cambria Suites, San Antonio, TX;

●	Cambria Suites, Baton Rouge, LA;

JUNE 30, 2011

Choice also terminated the franchise agreement for the Cambria Suites, Bloomington, MN effective June 23, 2011. We filed an arbitration action against Choice claiming wrongful termination of our franchise agreements. Choice filed suit in United States District Court claiming trademark infringement and breach of contract. In addition, in response to our arbitration action, Choice responded with counterclaims of fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract and trademark infringement. The parties have agreed to litigate all claims in the arbitration action. The Company vehemently denies all asserted claims and is vigorously defending the claims.

Following the termination of the 11 franchise agreements with Choice, we entered into new license or franchise agreements for nine hotels. On April 6, 2011, we entered into a license agreement with Holiday Hospitality Franchising, Inc. for the Holiday Inn in Boise, ID. On April 15, 2011, we entered into franchise agreements with AmericInn International, LLC for five hotels in Salina, KS; Missoula, MT; Golden, CO; Twin Falls, ID; and Ft. Smith, AR. On May 17, 2011, we entered into a license agreement with Carlson Inc. for the Country Inn & Suites in San Antonio, TX. On June 24, 2011, we entered into a franchise agreement with Marriott International, Inc. for the SpringHill Suites in Bloomington, MN. On August 5, 2011, we entered into a franchise agreement with Hilton Worldwide for the DoubleTree in Baton Rouge, LA. We anticipate entering into new franchise agreements with respect to our 70 room hotel in Ft. Worth, TX and our 67 room hotel in Charleston, WV, in the third quarter of 2011. However, we can give no assurance that we will be able to enter into new franchise agreements for these hotels.

NOTE 9 - RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On April 27, 2011, we entered into a contract with IHG Management (Maryland) LLC to manage the Holiday Inn hotel in Gwinnett, GA pursuant to a hotel management agreement with a 20-year term, which is extendable at IHG’s option, upon written notice and if not then in default on the agreement, by up to two five-year terms.

On May 25, 2011, we entered into a contract with Noble Management Group, LLC to manage the Hilton Garden Inn hotel in Gwinnett, GA pursuant to a hotel management agreement with a 3-year term, which is extendable at Noble’s option, upon written notice and if not then in default on the agreement, by up to two three-year terms. In conjunction with this contract, the Company has agreed to enter into additional hotel management agreements with Noble up to a capped amount, which left unfulfilled could lead to the assessment of future fees under the agreement.

We amended the Interstate hotel management agreement, effective as of June 30, 2011, to reduce the base management fee paid to Interstate from 3% to 1.33% of total revenues for 55 of our hotels for all periods from April 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011. We and Interstate entered into the amendment to address operational challenges experienced at the hotels during the second quarter of 2011.

In addition, we have entered into purchase agreements for the acquisition of three existing hotels, and are currently engaged in performing due dilligence investigations for all such properties. We are not contractually obligated to purchase these properties at this time, and may terminate the purchase agreements without penalty during the due dilligence period if we are not satisfied with the results of our due dilligence investigation.

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company purchased the Courtyard by Marriott in El Paso, TX on July 28, 2011 for approximately $12.4 million. The purchase was financed with borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Overview

We are a self-managed hotel investment company that was organized in June 2010 to continue and expand the existing hotel investment business of our predecessor, Summit Hotel Properties, LLC, a leading U.S. hotel owner. We focus exclusively on acquiring and owning premium-branded select-service hotels in the upper midscale and upscale segments of the U.S. lodging industry, as these segments are currently defined by Smith Travel Research (“STR”). We completed our initial public offering (the “IPO”), a concurrent private placement of our common stock and our formation transactions on February 14, 2011, netting approximately $241.3 million from the IPO and concurrent private placement, after underwriting discounts and the payment by us of offering-related costs.

We had no business activities prior to completion of the IPO and the formation transactions. Effective February 14, 2011, our predecessor merged with and into Summit OP (the “Merger”), with Summit OP surviving the Merger and succeeding to the business and assets of our predecessor. At the effective time of the Merger, the outstanding membership interests in our predecessor were converted into, and cancelled in exchange for, a total of 9,993,992 Common Units, and the members of our predecessor were admitted as limited partners of Summit OP. Also effective February 14, 2011, The Summit Group contributed its 36% Class B membership interest in Summit of Scottsdale, which owns two hotels in Scottsdale, Arizona, to Summit OP in exchange for 74,829 Common Units, and an unaffiliated third-party investor contributed its 15% Class C membership interest in Summit of Scottsdale to Summit OP in exchange for 31,179 Common Units. As a result of these reorganization transactions, which we refer to as the “formation transactions,” we acquired sole ownership of the 65 hotels in our predecessor’s portfolio. In addition, we assumed the indebtedness of our predecessor and its subsidiaries. Although Summit OP was the surviving entity in the Merger, our predecessor is considered the acquiror for accounting purposes and its financial statements became our financial statements upon completion of the Merger.

As of June 30, 2011, our hotel portfolio consisted of 69 hotels with a total of 7,010 guestrooms located in 19 states. Except for five hotels, which are subject to ground leases, we own our hotels in fee simple. As the hotel industry’s segments are currently defined by STR, 30 of our hotels are upper midscale, 28 of our hotels are upscale and 11 of our hotels are midscale (which reflects our classification of our independently operated hotels as midscale, regardless of amenity level). As of June 30, 2011, 52 of our hotels were encumbered by a total of $251.7 million of mortgage debt. As of June 30, 2011, our hotels, with the exception of our four independently operated hotels, were operated under nationally recognized brands, including brands owned by Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”), Hilton Worldwide (“Hilton”), InterContinental Hotels Group (“IHG”) and an affiliate of Hyatt Hotels Corporation (“Hyatt”), among others.

Substantially all of our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, our operating partnership, Summit Hotel OP, LP, Delaware limited partnership formed in June 2010. Through a wholly owned subsidiary, we are the sole general partner of Summit OP. As of June 30, 2011, Summit REIT owns an approximate 73.0% interest in Summit OP, including general and limited partnership interests. The other limited partners of Summit OP, including The Summit Group and the other former members of our predecessor, own the remaining approximate 27.0% interest in Summit OP as of June 30, 2011. Pursuant to the partnership agreement of Summit OP, through our General Partner we have full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the management and control of Summit OP, including the ability to cause Summit OP to enter into certain major transactions including acquisitions, dispositions and refinancings, make distributions to partners and to cause changes in Summit OP’s business activities.

Summit REIT intends to elect to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning with its short taxable year ending December 31, 2011. To qualify as a REIT, we cannot operate or manage our hotels. Instead, we lease our hotels to our TRS lessees, which are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by Summit OP. Our TRS lessees engage third-party hotel management companies to operate and manage our hotels pursuant to hotel management agreements. Substantially all of our hotels (67 of our 69 hotels as of June 30, 2011) are managed by Interstate Management Company, LLC (“Interstate”) pursuant to a hotel management agreement between Interstate and certain of our TRS lessees. In addition, our TRS lessees have entered into hotel management agreements with Noble Management Group, LLC (“Noble”), pursuant to which Noble manages one hotel, and with IHG Management (Maryland) LLC (“IHG Management”), an affiliate of IHG, pursuant to which IHG Management manages one hotel. Our TRS lessees may also employ other hotel managers in the future. We believe each of Interstate, Noble and IHG Management qualifies as an “eligible independent contractor” for federal income tax purposes. We have, and will have, no ownership or economic interest in any of the hotel management companies engaged by our TRS lessees. Our TRS lessees will be disregarded as separate from our TRSs for federal income tax purposes and their operations consolidated into our financial statements for accounting purposes. Our TRSs will be taxed as “C” corporations, and, unlike our predecessor’s income, our TRSs’ income will be subject to federal, state and local income tax, which will reduce our funds from operations and the cash otherwise available for distribution to our stockholders.

Revenues and Expenses

Our revenue is derived from hotel operations and consists of room revenue and other hotel operations revenue. As a result of our focus on select-service hotels in the upper midscale and upscale segments of the U.S. lodging industry, substantially all of our revenue is room revenue generated from sales of hotel rooms. We also generate, to a much lesser extent, other hotel operations revenue, which consists of ancillary revenue related to meeting rooms and other guest services provided at our hotels.

Our hotel operating expenses consist primarily of expenses incurred in the day-to-day operation of our hotels. Many of our expenses are fixed, such as essential hotel staff, real estate taxes, insurance, depreciation and certain types of franchise fees, and these expenses do not decrease even if the revenue at our hotels decreases. As reclassified, our hotel operating expenses consist of room expenses (wages, payroll taxes and benefits, linens, cleaning and guestroom supplies and complimentary breakfast), other direct expenses (office supplies, utilities, telephone, advertising and bad debts), other indirect expenses (real and personal property taxes, insurance, travel agent and credit card commissions, hotel management fees and franchise fees), and other expenses (ground rent and other items of miscellaneous expense).

Reclassification of Certain Prior Period Financial Information

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior-year financial information of our predecessor to conform to our current-year presentation for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 as follows:

●

to reclassify (a) $10.5 million and $20.0 million of direct hotel operations expense (wages, payroll taxes and benefits, linens, cleaning and guestroom supplies and complimentary breakfast) as rooms expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively; and (b) $1.6 million and $3.0 million of direct hotel operations expense (franchise royalties) as other indirect expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively;

●

to reclassify (a) $2.0 million and $4.1 million of other hotel operating expense (utilities and telephone) as other direct expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively; and (b) $2.6 million and $5.1 million of other hotel operating expense (property taxes, insurance and cable) as other indirect expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively;

●

to reclassify (a) $1.0 million and $2.1 million of general, selling and administrative expense (office supplies, advertising, miscellaneous operating expenses and bad debt expense) as other direct expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively; (b) $5.1 million and $9.7 million of general, selling and administrative expense (credit card/travel agent commissions, management company expense, management company legal and accounting fees and franchise fees) as other indirect expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively; and (c) $152,000 and $302,000 of general, selling and administrative expense (ground rent and other expense) as other expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively;

●

to reclassify $1.2 million and $2.1 million of repairs and maintenance expense as other direct expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively; and

●

to reclassify ($9,000) and $57,000 of other indirect expense (hotel startup costs) as hotel property acquisition costs for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

Industry Trends and Outlook

In mid-2008, U.S. lodging demand started to decline as a result of the economic recession, which caused industry-wide RevPAR to decline for the year, as reported by STR. Throughout 2009, the decrease in lodging demand accelerated, with RevPAR down 16.7% for the year according to STR. Beginning in the first quarter of 2010, we saw trends of improved fundamentals in the U.S. lodging industry, with demand for rooms showing signs of stabilization, and even growth in many of the major markets, as general economic indicators began to experience positive improvement. Improved fundamentals in the hotel industry continued throughout 2010, although the industry recovery has been modest. The supply of available rooms is expected to rise at a significantly slower pace over the next several years than during 2006 through 2008. Demand for rooms is expected to increase at a moderate pace during 2011 and 2012. Thus, we expect growth in industry-wide RevPAR to continue for the remainder of 2011 and for several years thereafter.

While we believe the trends in room demand and supply growth will result in improvement in lodging industry fundamentals, we can provide no assurances that the U.S. economy will strengthen at projected levels and within the expected time periods. If the economy does not improve or if any improvements do not continue for any number of reasons, including, among others, an economic slowdown and other events outside of our control, such as terrorism or significantly increased gasoline prices, lodging industry fundamentals may not improve as expected. In the past, similar events have adversely affected the lodging industry and if these events recur, they may adversely affect the lodging industry in the future.

Operating Performance Metrics

We use a variety of operating and other information to evaluate the financial condition and operating performance of our business. These key indicators include financial information that is prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), as well as other financial information that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, we use other information that may not be financial in nature, including statistical information and comparative data. We use this information to measure the performance of individual hotels, groups of hotels and our business as a whole. We periodically compare historical information to our internal budgets as well as industry-wide information. These key indicators include:

●

Occupancy rates (“occupancy”);

●

Average daily rates (“ADR”); and

●

Revenue per available room (“RevPAR”).

Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR are commonly used measures within the hotel industry to evaluate operating performance. RevPAR, which is calculated as the product of ADR and occupancy, is an important statistic for monitoring operating performance at the individual hotel level and across our business as a whole. We evaluate individual hotel RevPAR performance on an absolute basis with comparisons to budget and prior periods, as well as on a company-wide and regional basis, and in comparison to a competitive set of hotels. ADR and RevPAR include only room revenue. Our ADR, occupancy and RevPAR performance may be impacted by, among other things, macroeconomic factors such as regional and local employment growth, personal income and corporate earnings, office vacancy rates and business relocation decisions, airport and other business and leisure travel, new hotel construction and the pricing strategies of competitors. In addition, our ADR, occupancy and RevPAR performance are dependent on the continued success of our franchisors and their brands.

Our Portfolio

As of June 30, 2011, our portfolio consists of an aggregate of 69 hotels with a total of 7,010 guestrooms. Of these hotels, according to STR’s current chain segments, 28 hotels containing 3,148 guestrooms are “upscale,” 30 hotels containing 2,977 guestrooms are “upper midscale” and 11 hotels containing 885 guestrooms are “midscale.” The hotels operate under the franchise brands shown below:

On August 5, 2011, we entered into a franchise agreement to operate the Baton Rouge, Louisiana hotel as a Double Tree Hotel.

Hotel Management Agreements

Substantially all of our hotels are managed by Interstate. Under the hotel management agreement entered into with Interstate on February 14, 2011, which has an initial term expiring on February 14, 2021 (unless earlier terminated pursuant to its terms), we pay Interstate a base management fee and, if certain financial thresholds are met or exceeded, an annual incentive management fee. The base management fee, which is paid on a monthly basis, is 3% of total revenues for all of the hotels covered by the hotel management agreement. For purposes of the hotel management agreement, “total revenues” is defined as all income, revenue and proceeds resulting directly or indirectly from the operation of the hotels and all of their facilities (net of refunds and credits to guests and other allowances) before subtracting expenses. Commencing with the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011, an annual incentive fee is payable to Interstate, if earned, in the amount equal to 10% of the amount by which actual aggregate EBITDA for all hotels covered by the hotel management agreement exceeds $65 million, subject to adjustment for increases and decreases in the number of hotels covered by the hotel management agreement. For purposes of the hotel management agreement, “EBITDA” is defined as the amount by which gross operating profit (the amount by which total revenues exceed operating expenses) exceeds fixed charges. The annual incentive fee for any fiscal year (or partial fiscal year) is capped at 1.5% of the total revenues for all of the hotels covered by the hotel management agreement for that fiscal year. In addition, Interstate receives, on a monthly basis, a fee for the use of its centralized accounting services in an amount equal to $1,500 per hotel per month for hotels with 90 or more rooms and $1,375 per hotel per month for hotels with less than 90 rooms, subject to annual increases of the lesser of (i) the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for the previous fiscal year and (ii) 3%.

We amended the Interstate hotel management agreement, effective as of June 30, 2011, to: (a) reduce the base management fee paid to Interstate from 3% to 1.33% of total revenues for 55 of our hotels (“Amended Fee Hotels”) for each month in the period from April 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011; (b) provide for an additional incentive fee for the Amended Fee Hotels, which is payable on a quarterly basis, if earned, beginning on July 1, 2011, in the amount equal to 75% of the amount by which gross operating profit from the Amended Fee Hotels for the applicable quarterly period exceeds the gross operating margin (the Amended Fee Hotels’ gross operating profit for the prior year’s quarterly period multiplied by 1.25), with the aggregate amount of the additional incentive fee capped at $565,000; and (c) extend the term of the management agreement as it relates to the Homewood Suites (Ridgeland, Mississippi) and the Staybridge Suites (Glendale (Denver), Colorado) from three years to ten years. We and Interstate entered into the amendment to address operational challenges experienced at the hotels during the second quarter of 2011 following Interstate assuming management of all of our 65 initial hotels effective February 14, 2011.

Former Choice Hotels

On March 23, 2011, Choice notified us of the immediate termination of the franchise agreements for 10 of our hotels, and the termination of our Cambria Suites, Bloomington, Minnesota franchise agreement on June 23, 2011. We refer to these 11 hotels as the “former Choice hotels.” See Part II, Item 1 - Legal Proceedings for additional information concerning litigation related to the franchise terminations.

During the second quarter of 2011, we entered into new license or franchise agreements for eight of the 11 hotels. In April 2011, we entered into a license agreement with an affiliate of IHG to operate our 119-room hotel in Boise, Idaho as a Holiday Inn. In April 2011, we also entered into franchise agreements with AmericInn International, LLC to operate each of our 62-room hotel in Golden, Colorado, our 111-room hotel in Twin Falls, Idaho, our 52-room hotel in Missoula, Montana and our 60-room hotel in Salina, Kansas as an AmericInn Hotel & Suites and our 89-room hotel in Fort Smith, Arkansas as an AmericInn. In May 2011, we entered into a license agreement with Country Inn & Suites by Carlson, Inc. to operate our 126-room hotel in San Antonio, Texas as a Country Inn & Suites. In May 2011, we entered into a franchise agreement with Marriott to operate our 113-room hotel in Bloomington, Minnesota as a SpringHill Suites by Marriott.

On August 5, 2011, we entered into a franchise agreement with Doubletree Franchise LLC to operate our 127-room hotel in Baton Rouge, Louisiana as a Doubletree hotel, which will be effective upon completion of certain capital improvements, currently expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2011 at a cost of approximately $500,000. We anticipate entering into new franchise agreements with respect to our 67-room hotel in Charleston, West Virginia and our 70-room hotel in Fort Worth, Texas during the third quarter of 2011. We can give no assurance that we will be able to enter into franchise agreements with the hotels located in Charleston or Fort Worth during the third quarter of 2011 or at all.

The termination of the franchise agreements with respect to the former Choice hotels has had a negative impact on our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. From the date of the Choice franchise terminations until new franchise licenses become effective, the former Choice hotels do not have access to a national reservations system, resulting in significant reductions in occupancy, thus negatively impacting RevPAR and hotel operating revenues. For the 11 former Choice hotels, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, occupancy declined to 50.5% from 72.2% for the prior year’s period, and for the six months ended June 30, 2011, occupancy declined to 53.8% from 65.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Despite the decline in occupancy, ADR increased slightly from $76.64 to $77.26 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively, and from $76.55 to $78.23 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively. As a result, RevPAR for the 11 former Choice hotels declined from $55.30 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $39.02 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and from $50.19 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $42.09 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Seasoned and Unseasoned Hotel Information

As we disclosed in the prospectus for the IPO, the hotels we acquired from our predecessor in our formation transactions consisted of 65 hotels, 46 of which we considered at the time of our IPO to be “seasoned” and 19 of which we considered at the time of our IPO to be “unseasoned” hotels. At the time of our IPO, we designated hotels as “seasoned” based on their construction or acquisition date and we designated hotels as “unseasoned” if they had been built after January 1, 2007 or experienced a brand conversion since January 1, 2008. At the time of our IPO, seven of the former Choice hotels were designated as seasoned and four were designated as unseasoned. Due to the termination by Choice of the franchise agreements with respect to 11 hotels in our initial portfolio (seven seasoned hotels and four unseasoned hotels), and the acquisition of four hotels since our IPO, we believe the seasoned/unseasoned designation is becoming less meaningful for our portfolio overall.

The following table sets forth various statistical and operating information for the 65 hotels in our initial portfolio at the time of our IPO based on the seasoned and unseasoned designation on a total portfolio basis, and excluding the 11 former Choice hotels, and the equivalent information and designations for just the 11 former Choice hotels (dollars in thousands, except ADR and RevPAR):

As shown in the table above, RevPAR for our seasoned hotels, excluding the seven former Choice hotels, increased by 2.2% and 2.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010. RevPAR for our unseasoned hotels, excluding the four former Choice hotels, increased 15.1% and 15.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010. RevPAR for both the seasoned and unseasoned hotels on a total portfolio basis (46 and 19 hotels, respectively) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was negatively impacted by a substantial decrease in RevPAR for the former Choice hotels. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, RevPAR for the 11 former Choice hotels decreased 29.4% and 16.2%, respectively. Decreases in RevPAR for the former Choice hotels primarily resulted from disruptions associated with termination of the franchises and loss of access to national reservations systems pending effectiveness of new franchises.

We believe our 15 unseasoned hotels, excluding the four former Choice hotels, have continued to stabilize since their construction or brand conversion during the dramatic economic slowdown beginning in 2008. Most of these hotels are newer, larger and are located in larger markets than those of our seasoned hotels and operate under premium franchise brands. As a result, we believe the 15 unseasoned hotels, excluding the four former Choice hotels, are particularly well-positioned to generate RevPAR growth for our portfolio as economic conditions improve. We have recognized growth in RevPAR for the 15 unseasoned hotels, excluding the four former Choice hotels, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

Because we believe the seasoned/unseasoned designation for the 65 hotels in our initial portfolio is becoming less meaningful over time, the discussion that follows in “-Results of Operations” below is based on the operating results of our total portfolio (69 hotels as of June 30, 2011 and 65 hotels as of June 30, 2010) and our same-store portfolio, which consists of the 65 hotels in our initial portfolio for all periods presented. We expect to continue providing hotel operating metrics (RevPAR, ADR and occupancy) on a seasoned and unseasoned basis for our initial 65 hotels through the year ending December 31, 2011.

Results of Operations of Summit Hotel Properties, Inc. and Summit Hotel OP, LP

Prior to February 14, 2011, the date we completed our IPO, concurrent private placement and formation transactions, neither Summit REIT nor Summit OP had any operations other than the issuance of 1,000 shares of common stock of Summit REIT to our Executive Chairman in connection with Summit REIT’s formation and initial capitalization and activity in connection with the IPO and the formation transactions. Accordingly, we believe that a discussion of our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 would not be meaningful. We have therefore set forth a discussion comparing the combined operating results of our operations for the period from February 14, 2011 through June 30, 2011, and the historical results of operations for the period from January 1, 2011 through February 13, 2011 of our predecessor, to the historical results of our predecessor for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The historical results of operations presented below should be reviewed in conjunction with the notes to the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Our Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 to Our Predecessor’s Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2010

The following table presents results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and includes the amount of change and percentage change between these periods (dollars in thousands):

	Company			Our Predecessor			Quarter-over-Quarter
	Three Months Ended June 30, 2011			Three Months Ended June 30, 2010			Change
	Three Months Ended June 30, 2011			Three Months Ended June 30, 2010			$			%
Revenues:	$	38,589		$	35,850		$	2,739		7.6	%
Hotel operating expenses:	$	26,138		$	24,061		$	2,077		8.6	%
Total expenses:	$	34,607		$	30,723		$	3,884		12.6	%
Income from operations:	$	3,981		$	5,126		$	(1,145	)	(22.3	)%

Net income (loss):	$	604		$	(2,074	)	$	2,678		N/A

Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased by approximately $1.1 million to approximately $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from approximately $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily the result of an increase in corporate general and administrative expenses following the IPO of approximately $1.6 million, including expenses related to salaries and equity based compensation, which expenses were not incurred by our predecessor prior to the IPO.

Revenue. The following tables set forth key operating metrics for our total portfolio (69 hotels as of June 30, 2011 and 65 hotels as of June 30, 2010) and for our initial portfolio at the time of our IPO (65 hotels) for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (dollars in thousands, except ADR and RevPAR) and the percentage change between those two periods:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2011
	Total Revenue		Occupancy			ADR		RevPAR
Total Portfolio (69 hotels)*	$	38,588.6		68.5	%	$	88.63	$	60.70
Initial Portfolio (65 hotels)	$	36,371.1		68.2	%	$	88.08	$	60.09

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2010
	Total Revenue		Occupancy			ADR		RevPAR
Total and Initial Portfolio (65 hotels)	$	35,849.7		68.1	%	$	87.07	$	59.31

	Percentage Change from Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 to Three Months Ended June 30, 2011
	Total Revenue			Occupancy			ADR			RevPAR
Total Portfolio		7.6	%		0.5	%		1.8	%	2.3	%
Initial Portfolio		1.5	%		0.2	%		1.2	%	1.3	%

* The information in the tables above for our total portfolio for the three months ended June 30, 2011 includes revenues from the four hotels we acquired in the second quarter of 2011 from the date of acquisition of each hotel through June 30, 2011 and operating information (occupancy, ADR and RevPAR) for each of the hotels for the period in which it was owned by us. Accordingly, the information does not reflect a full three months of operations for each of the hotels acquired in the second quarter of 2011.

The 7.6% increase in revenues for our total portfolio was primarily due to improving economic conditions affecting our markets and leading to continued stabilization of revenue at our unseasoned hotels, excluding the former Choice hotels, and the acquisition of four hotels during the second quarter of 2011. Offsetting this increase was a significant 29.4% decrease in RevPAR at our former Choice hotels during the same period as a result of disruptions at these hotels associated with termination of the franchises and the loss of access to national reservations systems pending effectiveness of new franchises. Our four hotels acquired during the second quarter of 2011 contributed approximately $2.2 million to our revenues for the period acquired through June 30, 2011, and generated occupancy of 73.8%, ADR of $99.20, and RevPAR of $73.24 while under our ownership.

Hotel Operating Expenses. The 8.6% increase in total hotel operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 over the three months ended June 30, 2010 was largely related to the increase in revenue and the acquisition of four hotels during the second quarter 2011. In addition, the transition of management of our 65 initial hotels to Interstate resulted in an increase in expenses as a percentage of revenue in our hotels. We amended our management agreement with Interstate to address the operational challenges experienced at the hotels during the second quarter of 2011, which resulted in a one-time $565,000 reduction in other indirect hotel operating expense that would have otherwise been incurred under the management agreement during the period. The amendment to the hotel management agreement provides Interstate the opportunity to earn the $565,000 as an additional incentive fee in future periods.

Corporate general and administrative. Corporate general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, are substantially new expenses following the IPO, not previously incurred by our predecessor prior to the IPO.

Other Income/Expense. The $4.1 million decrease in interest expense was the result of repayment of $223.7 million of indebtedness with proceeds of the IPO and concurrent private placement.

Comparison of the Combined Operating Results of Our Company and Our Predecessor for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 to the Operating Results of Our Predecessor for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

The following table presents our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and includes the amount of change and percentage change between these periods (dollars in thousands):

Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased by approximately $2.5 million to approximately $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from approximately $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily the result of an increase in expenses related to corporate general and administrative expenses of approximately $2.9 million, which are new expenses following the IPO and include certain expenses related to salaries and equity-based compensation, which expenses were not incurred by our predecessor prior to the IPO.

Revenue. The following tables set forth key operating metrics for our total portfolio (69 hotels as of June 30, 2011 and 65 hotels as of June 30, 2010) and for our initial portfolio at the time of our IPO (65 hotels) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (dollars in thousands, except ADR and RevPAR) and the percentage change between those two periods:

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2011
	Total Revenue		Occupancy			ADR		RevPAR
Total Portfolio (69 hotels)*	$	71,996.0		64.6	%	$	90.16	$	58.24
Initial Portfolio (65 hotels)	$	69,779.2		64.4	%	$	89.90	$	57.88

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2010
	Total Revenue		Occupancy			ADR		RevPAR
Total and Initial Portfolio (65 hotels)	$	67,212.4		63.9	%	$	87.26	$	55.76

	Percentage Change from Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 to Six Months Ended June 30, 2011
	Total Revenue			Occupancy			ADR			RevPAR
Total Portfolio		7.1	%		1.1	%		3.3	%		4.4	%
Initial Portfolio		3.8	%		0.8	%		3.0	%		3.8	%

* The information in the tables above for our total portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2011 includes revenues from the four hotels we acquired in the second quarter of 2011 from the date of acquisition of each hotel through June 30, 2011 and operating information (occupancy, ADR and RevPAR) for each of the hotels for the period in which it was owned by us. Accordingly, the information does not reflect a full six months of operations for each of the hotels acquired in the second quarter of 2011.

The 7.1% increase in revenues for our total portfolio in the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, was primarily due to improving economic conditions affecting our markets and leading to continued stabilization of revenue at our unseasoned hotels, excluding the former Choice hotels, and the acquisition of four hotels during the second quarter of 2011. Off-setting this increase was a significant 16.2% decrease in RevPAR for our former Choice hotels during the same period as a result of disruptions at these hotels associated with termination of the franchises and the loss of access to national reservations systems pending effectiveness of new franchises. Our four hotels acquired during the second quarter of 2011 contributed approximately $2.2 million to our revenues for the period acquired through June 30, 2011, and generated occupancy of 73.8%, ADR of $99.20, and RevPAR of $73.24 while under our ownership.

Hotel Operating Expenses. Of the 9.2% increase in total hotel operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 over the six months ended June 30, 2010, approximately $710,000 related to expenses that were incurred during the transition of management of the hotels to Interstate. The balance of the increase was directly related to the increase in revenue of approximately $4.8 million. In addition, the transition of management of our hotels to Interstate resulted in an increase in expenses as a percentage of revenues in our hotels. We amended our management agreement with Interstate to reflect the operational challenges experienced at the hotels during the second quarter of 2011, which resulted in a one-time $565,000 reduction in other indirect hotel operating expense that would have otherwise been incurred under the management agreement. The amendment to the hotel management agreement provides Interstate the opportunity to earn the $565,000 as an additional incentive fee in future periods.

Corporate general and administrative. Corporate general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are substantially new and include expenses following the IPO related to salaries and equity based compensation, which expenses were not incurred by our predecessor prior to the IPO. These include approximately $596,000 in additional corporate general and administrative expenses incurred in the first quarter of 2011, including expenses, such as bonuses paid based on our predecessor’s operations in 2010, stock compensation expense for the initial grants to our independent directors and expenses related to the audit for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the preparation of our combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Other Income/Expense. The approximately $1.5 million decrease in other income (expense) was the result of an approximately $5.0 million decline in interest expense following our IPO due to the payoff of approximately $223.7 million of indebtedness with proceeds of the IPO and concurrent private placement, offset in the first quarter of 2011 by approximately $5.3 million of defeasance and exit fees related to that payoff.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our hotel properties, including recurring maintenance and capital expenditures necessary to maintain our hotel properties in accordance with brand standards, capital expenditures to improve our hotel properties, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness and distributions to our stockholders and to limited partners of Summit OP.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities increased approximately $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the prior-year period largely due to a decline in prepaid expenses by our predecessor related to IPO expenses and increased expense accruals due to different payable timing practices of our predecessor and Interstate. The approximately $46.9 million increase in net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the prior-year period was the result of $37.7 million in land and hotel acquisitions in the six months ended June 30, 2011, and $11.1 million of purchases of property and equipment. The approximately $61.2 million increase in net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the prior-year period was primarily due to our receipt of the net proceeds from our IPO and concurrent private placement, partially offset by repayment of loan obligations and distributions paid by our predecessor to its members prior to our IPO, as well as the issuance of approximately $57.9 million of new debt related to the senior secured credit facility and the Goldman Sachs debt, both described under “-Our Indebtedness” below. Immediately prior to completion of the formation transactions and in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement between Summit OP and our predecessor, during February 2011, our predecessor paid accrued and unpaid priority returns on its Class A and Class A-1 membership interests in the amount of approximately $8.3 million. Our predecessor paid approximately $535,000 of priority returns during the first quarter of 2010. Following the closing of the Merger, no additional payments on priority returns to former members of our predecessor will be made.

Acquisitions

On April 15, 2011, we purchased a 91-room Homewood Suites located in Ridgeland, Mississippi for a purchase price of $7.3 million, or approximately $80,000 per key. We funded the purchase price of this acquisition with borrowings on our secured credit facility. We expect to perform a standard renovation of approximately $820,000, for a combined aggregate purchase price and renovation cost of approximately $89,000 per key. In connection with this acquisition, we engaged Interstate to manage the hotel pursuant to a hotel management agreement that has substantially the same terms as the management agreement we entered into with Interstate on February 14, 2011 pursuant to which Interstate manages our 65 initial hotels.

On April 27, 2011, we purchased a 143-room Holiday Inn located in Duluth, Georgia and a 121-room Staybridge Suites located in Glendale (Denver), Colorado for a combined purchase price of $17.0 million, or approximately $64,000 per key. We funded the purchase price of these acquisitions with borrowings on our secured credit facility. We expect to perform standard renovations of approximately $2.5 million in the aggregate, for a combined aggregate purchase price and renovation cost of approximately $72,000 per key. We engaged Interstate to manage the Staybridge Suites pursuant to a hotel management agreement that has substantially the same terms as the management agreement we entered into with Interstate on February 14, 2011 pursuant to which Interstate manages our 65 initial hotels.

On May 25, 2011, we purchased a 122-room Hilton Garden Inn located in Gwinnett, Georgia for a purchase price of approximately $13.4 million or approximately $109,000 per key. We funded the purchase price of this acquisition with borrowings on our secured credit facility. We expect to perform a standard renovation of approximately $672,000, for a combined aggregate purchase price and renovation cost of approximately $115,000 per key. In connection with this acquisition, we engaged Noble Management Group, LLC to manage the hotel.

On July 28, 2011, we acquired a 90-room Courtyard by Marriott hotel located in El Paso, Texas for a purchase price of approximately $12.4 million, or approximately $137,000 per key. We expect to perform a standard renovation of approximately $500,000, for a combined purchase price and renovation cost of approximately $143,000 per key. We funded the purchase price of this acquisition with our senior secured revolving credit facility. In connection with this acquisition, we have engaged Interstate to manage the hotel pursuant to a hotel management agreement that has substantially the same terms as the management agreement we entered into with Interstate on February 14, 2011 pursuant to which Interstate manages our 65 initial hotels.

In addition, we have entered into purchase agreements for the acquisition of three existing hotels, and are currently engaged in performing due diligence investigations for all such properties. We are not contractually obligated to purchase these properties at this time, and may terminate the purchase agreements without penalty during the due diligence period if we are not satisfied with the results of our due diligence investigation.

Acquisition of the one or more of these hotels may occur if we are satisfied with the results of our due diligence, and if we have sufficient funds to complete such purchases, considering other short- and long-term liquidity requirements, including planned capital expenditures at our existing hotels. If one or more of the hotels is purchased, we expect to fund the purchase(s) with working capital, funds available under the senior secured revolving credit facility or additional mortgage loans. We may not be satisfied with the results of our due diligence or other conditions to closing may not be satisfied, and we may not have sufficient funds to make such purchases, and thus, we cannot assure you that we will acquire any of these properties.

Short-Term Liquidity Requirements

We expect to satisfy our short-term liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures described below, scheduled debt payments and funding the cash portion of the purchase price of hotel properties under contract, if acquired, with working capital, cash provided by operations, and short-term borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility that we entered into on April 29, 2011 described below. Further, we may seek to raise capital through public or private offerings of our equity or debt securities. However, certain factors may have a material adverse effect on our ability to access these capital sources, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered hotel properties, borrowing restrictions imposed by lenders and market conditions. We will continue to analyze which source of capital is most advantageous to us at any particular point in time, but financing may not be consistently available to us on terms that are attractive, or at all. We believe that our working capital, cash provided by operations, borrowings under our senior secured revolving line of credit, and other sources of funds available to us will be sufficient to meet our short-term liquidity requirements for the next 12 months.

We anticipate making renovations and other non-recurring capital expenditures with respect to our hotel properties, including approximately $28.7 million in capital expenditures expected to be spent prior to June 30, 2012, pursuant to property improvement plans, related to hotel franchise conversions and for renovations of acquired hotels. Of the $28.7 million, approximately $23.3 million is required by our franchisors and the remaining approximately $5.4 million is discretionary. Since completion of our IPO through June 30, 2011, we have funded approximately $11.1 million for capital improvements to our hotels.

Our mortgage loan with Bank of the Cascades matures on September 30, 2011, and is anticipated to have an outstanding principal balance of approximately $12.6 million at maturity. We have engaged in discussions with Bank of the Cascades concerning this loan, and anticipate that the maturity date will be extended for at least one year. With respect to our other debts that are scheduled to mature prior to June 30, 2012, we have engaged in substantive negotiations with existing lenders concerning refinancing these debts. In addition to negotiating with existing lenders, we are seeking competitive bids from third-party lenders regarding refinancing our other debts that are scheduled to mature prior to June 30, 2012. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully negotiate these maturity date extensions, and if we cannot extend the maturity of or refinance these loans, we will be required to pay the outstanding principal balance of the loans with borrowings from our senior secured revolving credit facility, which would reduce our availability to use our credit facility for other purposes, or from another source of capital available to us.

Long-Term Liquidity Requirements

Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of the costs of acquiring additional hotel properties, renovations and other non-recurring capital expenditures that need to be made periodically with respect to our hotel properties, and scheduled debt payments, including maturing loans. We will seek to satisfy these long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, including working capital, cash provided by operations, long-term hotel mortgage indebtedness and other borrowings, including borrowings under our secured credit facility. In addition, we may seek to raise capital through public or private offerings of our equity or debt securities. However, certain factors may have a material adverse effect on our ability to access these capital sources, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered hotel properties, borrowing restrictions imposed by lenders and market conditions. We will continue to analyze which source of capital is most advantageous to us at any particular point in time, but financing may not be consistently available to us on terms that are attractive, or at all.

To satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. Therefore, we will need to raise additional capital in order to grow our business and invest in additional hotel properties. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to borrow funds or raise additional capital on terms acceptable to us, if at all. We anticipate that debt we incur in the future may include, as does our current debt, restrictions (including lockbox and cash management provisions) that under certain circumstances may limit or prohibit Summit OP and its subsidiaries from making distributions or paying dividends, repaying loans or transferring assets.

Outstanding Indebtedness

At June 30, 2011, we had approximately $251.7 million in outstanding indebtedness secured by mortgages on 52 hotels and 17 hotels unencumbered by mortgage debt, including 10 hotels with 1,142 rooms operating under brands owned by Marriott, Hilton, IHG and Hyatt, available as collateral for potential future loans. Our $125 million senior secured revolving credit facility is available to fund future acquisitions, property redevelopments and working capital requirements (including the repayment of debt). As discussed below, our $125 million senior secured revolving credit facility has approximately $59.8 million of total borrowing capacity as of August 12, 2011, with the possibility of increasing to $87.9 million upon finalizing documentation related to the addition of seven borrowing base properties that have been approved by the lender. As of August 12, 2011, we have approximately $55.2 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility. Upon finalizing the addition of seven hotels to the borrowing base securing our secured line of credit and the modification of our General Electric Capital Corporation loan described below, with the acquisition of our hotel in El Paso, Texas in third quarter 2011, we will have eight unencumbered hotels.

$125 Million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

On April 29, 2011, Summit OP, as borrower, and Summit REIT, as guarantor, entered into a $100.0 million, three-year (with an option to extend for one additional year if we meet certain requirements) senior secured revolving credit facility with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as lead arranger, and a syndicate of lenders including Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, Royal Bank of Canada, KeyBank National Association and Regions Bank. On May 13, 2011, Summit OP entered into an agreement with Deutsche Bank and U.S. Bank National Association that increased the maximum aggregate amount of the credit facility from $100.0 million to $125.0 million. On August 15, 2011, we entered into a First Letter Amendment to the credit facility. The amended terms of the credit facility are described in the summary below.

The following is a summary of the terms and conditions for our secured credit facility.

Summit OP is the borrower under the credit facility. The credit facility is guaranteed by Summit REIT and all of our existing and future subsidiaries that own or lease a “borrowing base asset.”

Outstanding borrowings on the senior secured revolving credit facility are limited to the least of (1) $125.0 million, (2) 55% of the aggregate appraised value of the borrowing base assets and (3) the aggregate adjusted net operating income of the borrowing base assets securing the facility divided by 150% of the monthly factor shown on a standard level constant payment table for a fully amortizing 25-year loan based on an assumed interest rate equal to the greatest of (x) the ten-year U.S. Treasury rate plus 3.5%, (y) 7.00% and (z) the weighted-average interest rate then applicable to advances outstanding under the secured revolving credit facility. The availability of the credit facility is also subject to a borrowing base having no fewer than 15 properties.

Payment Terms. We are obligated to pay interest at the end of each selected interest period, but not less than quarterly, with all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest due at maturity, which is April 29, 2014. We may extend the maturity date for one year subject to certain criteria being met. We have the right to repay all or any portion of the outstanding borrowings from time to time without penalty or premium, other than customary early payment fees if we repay a LIBOR loan before the end of the contract period. In addition, we will be required to make earlier principal reduction payments in the event of certain changes in the borrowing base availability.

We will pay interest on the periodic advances under the senior secured revolving credit facility at varying rates, based upon, at our option, either (i) 1-, 2-, 3- or 6-month LIBOR, subject to a floor of 0.50%, plus the applicable LIBOR margin or (ii) the applicable base rate, which is the greatest of the administrative agent’s prime rate, 0.50% plus the federal funds effective rate, and 1-month LIBOR (incorporating the floor of 0.50%) plus 1.00%, plus the applicable margin for base rate loans. The applicable LIBOR and base rate margin depends upon the ratio of our outstanding consolidated total indebtedness to EBITDA (as defined in the loan documentation), as follows:

Total Debt to EBITDA Ratio	LIBOR Margin	Base Rate Margin
<3.50x	2.50%	1.50%
≥3.50x and <5.00x	3.00%	2.00%
≥5.00x	3.50%	2.50%

On a quarterly basis, we will be required to pay a fee on the unused portion of the credit facility equal to the unused amount multiplied by an annual rate of either (i) 0.50%, if the unused amount is equal to or greater than 50% of the maximum aggregate amount of the credit facility, or (ii) 0.375%, if the unused amount is less than 50% of the maximum aggregate amount of the credit facility. We are also required to pay other fees, including customary arrangement, administrative and fronting fees.

Financial and Other Covenants. In addition, we are required to comply with a series of financial and other covenants in order to borrow under the senior secured revolving credit facility. The material financial covenants, tested quarterly, include the following:

a maximum ratio of consolidated indebtedness (as defined in the loan documentation) to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the loan documentation) as follows:

Period	Leverage Ratio Requirement in Original Credit Facility
April 29, 2011 through April 29, 2012	6.25:1.00
April 29, 2012 through April 29, 2013	6.00:1.00
April 29, 2013 through April 29, 2014	5.75:1.00
April 29, 2014 and thereafter	5.25:1.00
Period	Leverage Ratio Requirement as Amended(1)
Closing Date through June 30, 2011	6.25:1.00
July 1, 2011 through September 30, 2011	6.75:1.00
October 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011	7.25:1.00
January 1, 2012 through March 31, 2012	6.75:1.00
April 1, 2012 through September 30, 2012	6.50:1.00
October 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012	6.25:1.00
January 1, 2013 through March 31, 2013	6.00:1.00
April 1, 2013 and thereafter	5.75:1.00

(1)

The leverage ratio was amended as described in the above table pursuant to the First Letter Amendment entered into on August 15, 2011.

●

a minimum ratio of adjusted consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the loan documentation) to consolidated fixed charges (as defined in the loan documentation) as follows:

Period	Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
April 29, 2011 through April 29, 2013	1.50:1.00
April 29, 2013 through April 29, 2014	1.60:1.00
April 29, 2014 and thereafter	1.75:1.00

The definition of adjusted consolidated EBITDA was revised in the First Letter Amendment to include pro forma EBITDA for recently-acquired or constructed hotels with no operating history.

●

a minimum consolidated tangible net worth (as defined in the loan documentation) of not less than $228,728,000 plus 80% of the net proceeds of subsequent common equity issuances; and

●

a maximum dividend payout ratio of 95% of FFO (as defined in the loan documentation) or an amount necessary to maintain REIT tax status and avoid corporate income and excise taxes.

We are subject to other customary covenants, including restrictions on investments, limitations on liens and maintenance of properties. The credit facility also contains customary events of default, including, among others, the failure to make payments when due under any of the credit facility documentation, breach of any covenant continuing beyond any cure period and bankruptcy or insolvency.

Borrowing Base Assets. The credit facility is secured primarily by a first priority mortgage lien on each borrowing base asset and a first priority pledge of our equity interests in the subsidiaries that hold the borrowing base assets and the TRS we formed in connection with the credit facility to wholly own the TRS lessees that lease each of the borrowing base assets. As of June 30, 2011, mortgage liens were granted on 18 of our hotel properties.

In the First Letter Amendment, the lenders approved adding the following seven hotels for addition to the borrowing base for the credit facility, upon finalization and recording of mortgages and other appropriate documentation. Upon the addition of these seven hotels to the borrowing base, we anticipate that our availability under the credit facility will increase to a total of $87.9 million. We anticipate that the documentation will be finalized concerning the additional seven hotels by September 1, 2011, but we cannot assure you that we will be able to add all or any of the seven hotels to the borrowing base within such time frame or at all.

As of August 12, 2011, we have $55.2 million outstanding under the credit facility, and a total remaining availability of $4.6 million.

Hotels may be added to or removed from the borrowing base at any time so long as there is a minimum of 15 hotels in the borrowing base, the borrowing base assets meet certain diversity requirements (such as limits on concentrations in any particular market) and the then-current borrowings on the credit facility do not exceed the maximum available under the credit facility given the availability limitations described above. Further, to be eligible as a borrowing base asset, the anticipated property must:

●

be franchised with a nationally recognized franchisor;

●

have been in operation a minimum of one year;

●

satisfy certain ownership, management and operating lessee criteria;

●

not be subject to material defects, such as liens, title defects, environmental contamination; and

●

other standard lender criteria.

Prior to April 29, 2013, we may elect to increase the amount of the credit facility by up to an additional $75.0 million, increasing the maximum aggregate amount of the credit facility to $200.0 million, subject to the identification of a lender or lenders willing to make available the additional amounts, including new lenders acceptable to us and the administrative agent.

(1)	As of June 30, 2011, the Prime rate was 3.25% and the 90-day LIBOR rate was 0.25%.

(2)

The lender has the right to call the loan, which is secured by multiple hotel properties, at January 1, 2012, January 1, 2017 and January 1, 2022. At January 1, 2012, the loan begins to amortize according to a 19.5 year amortization schedule. If this loan is repaid prior to maturity, there is a prepayment penalty equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the principal being repaid and (ii) the yield maintenance premium. There is no prepayment penalty if the loan is prepaid 60 days prior to any call date.

(3)	The maturity date may be extended to June 20, 2014 based on the exercise of two, one-year extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. If this loan is repaid prior to June 29, 2011, there is a prepayment penalty equal to 1% of the principal being repaid.

(4)	If this loan is repaid prior to maturity, there is a prepayment penalty equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the principal being repaid and (ii) the yield maintenance premium.

(5)	Evidenced by three promissory notes, the loan secured by the Hyatt Place located in Atlanta, Georgia has a maturity date of February 1, 2014. The three promissory notes are cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized.

(6)

The lender has the right to call the loan at November 1, 2013, 2018 and 2023. If this loan is repaid prior to maturity, there is a prepayment penalty equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the principal being repaid and (ii) the yield maintenance premium. There is no prepayment penalty if the loan is prepaid 60 days prior to any call date.

(7)

On December 8, 2009, we entered into two cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted mortgage loans with National Western Life Insurance in the amounts of $8,650,000 and $5,350,000. If these loans are prepaid, there is a prepayment penalty ranging from 1% to 5% of the principal being prepaid. A one-time, ten-year extension of the maturity date is permitted, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

(8)

This loan is cross-collateralized with the ING Investment Management loan secured by the following hotel properties: AmericInn, Ft. Smith, AR; Holiday Inn Express, Sandy, UT; Fairfield Inn by Marriott, Lewisville, TX; Hampton Inn, Denver, CO; Holiday Inn Express, Vernon Hills, IL; Hampton Inn, Fort Wayne, IN; Courtyard by Marriott, Missoula, MT; AmericInn Hotel & Suites, Missoula, MT.

(9)

This loan is secured by multiple hotel properties. On July 27, 2011, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent with ING Investment Management pursuant to which the mortgages on the Fort Smith, AR AmericInn and Missoula, MT AmericInn will be released and mortgages will be placed on the Flagstaff, AZ SpringHill Suites and the Ridgeland, MS Staybridge Suites. The collateral substitution is anticipated to occur September 2011. This collateral substitution will also be reflected in the cross-collateralization described in footnote (8) above.

(10)

This loan is cross-collateralized with the ING Investment Management loan secured by the following hotel properties: Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott, Germantown, TN; Residence Inn by Marriott, Germantown, TN; Holiday Inn Express, Boise, ID; Courtyard by Marriott, Memphis, TN; Hampton Inn & Suites, El Paso, TX; Hampton Inn, Ft. Smith, AR.

(11)	The two BNC loans are cross-defaulted.

(12)

The three General Electric Capital Corp. (“GECC”) loans are cross-defaulted. Effective July 1, 2011, the interest rate on all three loans increased to 90-day LIBOR + 4.00%. Effective August 1, 2011, all three loans will be subject to a prepayment penalty equal to 2% of the principal repaid prior to August 1, 2012, 1% of the principal repaid prior to August 1, 2013, and 0% of the principal repaid thereafter. On August 12, 2011, we entered into a Second Modification of Loan Agreement for each of the three loans pursuant to which GECC reduced the interest rate on all three loans to 90-day LIBOR + 3.50%, the fixed charge coverage ratios were modified to reflect the stabilization of revenues of two of the former Choice hotels which are collateral for the GECC loans after their conversion to other nationally-recognized brands, and mortgages will be placed on the Jacksonville, FL Aloft, Las Colinas, TX Hyatt Place and Boise, ID Fairfield Inn, each of which may be released upon realization of certain financial covenants.

(13)

The yield maintenance premium under each of the ING Investment Management loans is calculated as follows: (A) if the entire amount of the loan is being prepaid, the yield maintenance premium is equal to the sum of (i) the present value of the scheduled monthly installments from the date of prepayment to the maturity date, and (ii) the present value of the amount of principal and interest due on the maturity date (assuming all scheduled monthly installments due prior to the maturity date were made when due), less (iii) the outstanding principal balance as of the date of prepayment; and (B) if only a portion of the loan is being prepaid, the yield maintenance premium is equal to the sum of (i) the present value of the scheduled monthly installments on the pro rata portion of the loan being prepaid, or the release price, from the date of prepayment to the maturity date, and (ii) the present value of the pro rata amount of principal and interest due on the release price due on the maturity date (assuming all scheduled monthly installments due prior to the maturity date were made when due), less (iii) the outstanding amortized principal allocation, as defined in the loan agreement, as of the date of prepayment.

(14)	Prior to April 1, 2011, the interest rate on this loan was the Prime Rate – 0.25%, but as of April 1, 2011, the interest rate on this loan was fixed at 4.81%.

We believe that we will have adequate liquidity to meet requirements for scheduled maturities. However, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to refinance our indebtedness as it becomes due and, if refinanced, whether such refinancing will be available on favorable terms.

We entered into an agreement with ING Investment Management (“ING”) pursuant to which ING agreed to forbear, for a period of 120 days, from declaring any default relating to the termination of the Choice franchise agreements. On July 27, 2011, ING agreed to substitute the SpringHill Suites, Flagstaff, Arizona, and the Staybridge Suites, Ridgeland, Mississippi, and release the AmericInn, Fort Smith, Arkansas (formerly Comfort Inn) and AmericInn, Missoula, Montana (formerly Comfort Inn), and otherwise waive any defaults related to the termination and change of franchise. The collateral substitution is anticipated to close on or before September 10, 2011, and is subject to satisfaction of typical due diligence and documentation.

On June 28, 2011, we entered into a loan agreement with Goldman Sachs Commercial Mortgage Capital, LP for a loan in the principal amount of $14.75 million secured by a first mortgage lien on real estate, improvements, and personal property related to the SpringHill Suites hotel in Bloomington, Minnesota and the Hampton Inn & Suites hotel in Bloomington, Minnesota. The interest rate is fixed at 5.67%. The loan matures July 6, 2016, and principal and interest payments are amortized over a 25 year period. The loan may not be prepaid before the earlier of the second anniversary of the date on which the loan has been securitized or June 28, 2014, and after such time is subject to prepayment based upon standard defeasance. The loan is non-recourse, except to Summit OP in the event of standard recourse carve-out provisions. The borrower must maintain a net operating income at the hotels of at least 80% of net operating income on the date of closing, or excess cash flow from the hotels will be reserved and subject to lender control.

Capital Expenditures

We have budgeted to spend approximately $28.7 million before June 30, 2012 for capital improvements to be made to the hotels in our portfolio, including capital improvements that we may be required to make pursuant to property improvement plans with respect to certain hotels in our portfolio, including our recent acquisitions and in connection with the entry into new franchise agreements for the former Choice hotels. In addition, we may make additional capital improvements at hotels we acquire in the future. We have funded approximately $11.1 million of capital improvements at our hotels in the six months ended June 30, 2011 using approximately $5.8 million of the net proceeds of the IPO and concurrent private placement. We expect to fund the future capital improvements with working capital, borrowings and other potential sources of capital to the extent available to us.

Upon completion of the IPO, the hotel management agreement with Interstate required us to deposit approximately $5.3 million of the net proceeds of the IPO and the concurrent private placement into an account to be used to replace or refurbish furniture, fixtures and equipment at the hotels in our portfolio. We have used all of this $5.3 million to fund capital improvements. We will not be required to deposit additional funds into this account but we may elect to do so at our discretion as part of our capital budgeting process.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Contractual Obligations

The following table outlines the timing of payment requirements related to our long-term debt obligations and other contractual obligations as of June 30, 2011 (dollars in millions):

	Payments Due By Period
	Total		Less than One Year		One to Three Years		Four to Five Years		More than Five Years
Long-term debt obligations(1)	$	269.3	$	67.3	$	146.0	$	21.0	$	35.0
Operating Lease obligations		32.1		0.4		0.8		0.8		30.1
Total	$	301.4	$	67.7	$	146.8	$	21.8	$	65.1

(1)

The amounts shown include amortization of principal on our fixed-rate and variable-rate obligations, debt maturities on our fixed-rate and variable-rate obligations and estimated interest payments on our fixed-rate obligations. Interest payments have been included based on the weighted-average interest rate.

In addition, we are required to make payments of management fees under our hotel management agreements based on a percentage of revenues at our hotels.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures — funds from operations (“FFO”) and earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) — to assess our financial condition and operating performance. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with GAAP. FFO and EBITDA are supplemental financial measures and are not defined by GAAP. As calculated by us, these financial measures may not be comparable to FFO and EBITDA reported by other companies that do not define those terms exactly as we define them. FFO and EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to operating income or net income determined in accordance with GAAP, as indicators of performance or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as indicators of liquidity.

FFO

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) developed FFO as a non-GAAP financial measure of performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. We calculate FFO applicable to shares of common stock and Common Units in accordance with the April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of NAREIT, which we refer to as the White Paper. The White Paper defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated assets, plus certain non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our FFO computation may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we do.

FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. The GAAP measure that we believe to be most directly comparable to FFO, net income (loss) applicable to common shares, includes depreciation and amortization expenses, gains or losses on property sales and noncontrolling interest. In computing FFO, we eliminate these items because, in our view, they are not indicative of the results from our property operations.

FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. We consider FFO to be a meaningful, additional measure of our operating performance because it excludes the effects of the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, and because it is widely used by industry analysts as performance measures. We present FFO applicable to shares of common stock and Common Units because our Common Units will be redeemable for shares of common stock. We believe it is meaningful for the investor to understand FFO applicable to all shares of common stock and Common Units.

The following table reconciles FFO for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss), for the same periods and includes the amount of change and percentage change between these periods (dollars in thousands):

EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Our EBITDA computation may not be comparable to EBITDA reported by other companies that interpret the definition of EBITDA differently than we do. Management believes EBITDA to be a meaningful measure of a REIT’s performance because it is widely followed by industry analysts, lenders and investors and is used by management as one measure of performance. EBITDA should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income, cash flow and FFO, as measures of our operating performance.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. While we do not believe the reported amounts would be materially different, application of these policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. We evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to the impairment of long-lived assets, on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. All of our significant accounting policies, including certain critical accounting policies, are disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. A discussion of our critical accounting policies appears in our Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies.”

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Market Risk

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market-sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business strategies, the primary market risk to which we are currently exposed, and to which we expect to be exposed in the future, is interest rate risk. Our primary interest rate exposures are to the 30-day LIBOR rate, the 90-day LIBOR rate and the Prime rate. We primarily use fixed interest rate financing to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. We do not use any hedge or other instruments to manage interest rate risk.

As of June 30, 2011, approximately 44.5%, or approximately $112.1 million, of our debt bore fixed interest rates and approximately 55.5%, or approximately $139.6 million bore variable interest rates. Assuming no increase in the amount of our variable rate debt, if the interest rates on our variable rate debt were to increase by 100 basis points, our cash flow would decrease by approximately $1.4 million per year.

As our debts mature, the financing arrangements that carry fixed interest rates will become subject to interest rate risk. In addition, as variable rate loans mature, lenders may impose floor interest rates because of the low interest rates experienced during the past few years. Approximately $60.5 million of our long-term debt will mature during the next 12 months, which amount includes $4.5 million amortizing principal paid in regular monthly payments and $56.0 of balloon payments on our existing debt as the loans mature. Of the $56.0 million of maturing loans, approximately $29.8 million bears fixed interest rates and $26.2 million bears variable interest rates.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

On March 23, 2011, Choice Hotels International, Inc. (“Choice”) terminated franchise agreements on 10 of our hotels, effective on that date. Choice also terminated the franchise agreement for the Cambria Suites, Bloomington, Minnesota effective June 23, 2011. On March 24, 2011, we filed an arbitration action with the American Arbitration Association against Choice claiming wrongful termination of our franchise agreements. In response to our arbitration action, Choice asserted counterclaims of fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract and trademark infringement. The claimants in the arbitration include Summit REIT, Summit OP, the General Partner, our predecessor, Summit Hospitality I, LLC, Summit Hospitality V, LLC, The Summit Group, Inc., and each of the TRSs that operate one of the former Choice hotels (collectively, “Summit Parties”). Choice’s counterclaim seeks from the Summit Parties approximately $3.9 million in actual damages for the alleged breaches of contract and misrepresentation, $2 million in punitive damages, unspecified damages for trademark infringement, and reimbursement of costs and attorneys' fees related to all claims. We vehemently deny all asserted claims and are vigorously defending the claims.

On March 31, 2011, Choice filed suit in United States District Court in Maryland against the Summit Parties claiming trademark infringement and breach of contract. Choice’s complaint seeks $27,271 in damages for unpaid royalties, $297,000 in liquidated damages, additional actual damages to be proven at trial, and reimbursement of costs and attorneys’ fees related to all claims. The parties agreed to address their remaining claims solely through arbitration, and the United States District Court case was administratively closed as of July 26, 2011. The damage claims made in the United States District Court case are duplicative to those described in the arbitration paragraph above. We vehemently deny all asserted claims and are vigorously defending the claims.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

In addition to the risk factors disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of our combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as amended, we believe we are subject to the following risk:

Our 11 former Choice hotels have experienced, and may continue to experience, a significant decline in occupancy, RevPAR and revenues.

Occupancy, RevPAR and revenues has been negatively impacted as a result of the termination by Choice of the franchises for 11 of our 65 initial hotels. As of August 15, 2011, three of the 11 former Choice hotels are operating independently and will not be connected to a national franchise reservation system until new franchise agreements become effective. In addition, certain former Choice hotels have been rebranded and are operating under lesser known franchises. These hotels may not attract the demand for our hotels rooms to the extent the Choice franchise did. Occupancy, ADR, RevPAR and revenues for the 11 former Choice hotels may continue to be negatively impacted. As a result, we may not achieve the operating performance we had previously anticipated and our overall returns may not improve as we had expected or may decline.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Securities Sold

There were no unregistered sales of equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Use of Proceeds––Initial Public Offering and Concurrent Private Placement

On February 14, 2011, Summit REIT closed the IPO, pursuant to which it sold 26,000,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $9.75 per share. Summit REIT raised approximately $253.5 million in gross IPO proceeds and approximately $11.6 million in gross proceeds from the concurrent private placement referred to above, resulting in net proceeds to Summit REIT from the IPO and the concurrent private placement of approximately $241.3 million, after deducting approximately $17.7 million in underwriting discounts related to shares of common stock sold in the IPO and approximately $6.1 million in other expenses relating to the IPO, the concurrent private placement and the formation transactions. In connection with the IPO, the concurrent private placement and the formation transactions, affiliates of Summit REIT and Summit OP incurred legal, accounting and related costs, which were reimbursed by Summit REIT upon completion of the IPO. These costs were paid from the gross proceeds of the IPO.

Summit REIT contributed the net proceeds of the IPO and the concurrent private placement to Summit OP in exchange for Common Units. As June 30, 2011, Summit OP had used 100% of the IPO proceeds in an aggregate amount of approximately $241.3 million of the net proceeds of the IPO and the concurrent private placement as follows:

●

approximately $227.2 million to reduce outstanding mortgage indebtedness and pay associated costs, as described in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011;

●

approximately $5.3 million to fund a capital expenditure reserve account under the hotel management agreement with Interstate;

●

approximately $5.8 million to fund capital expenditures at our hotels; and

●

approximately $3.0 million for working capital reserves.

There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from the IPO as described in the final prospectus filed by Summit REIT with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b).

Neither Summit REIT nor Summit OP has repurchased any of Summit REIT’s common stock or Summit OP’s Common Units.
