EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2012 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” or “our operating partnership” mean Summit Hotel OP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, our operating partnership, and its consolidated subsidiaries; 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. As of September 30, 2012, Summit REIT owned approximately 83.8% of the issued and outstanding common units of partnership interest of Summit OP (“Common Units”), including the sole general partnership interest held by the General Partner. As of September 30, 2012, Summit REIT owned 100% of the issued and outstanding 9.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units of Summit OP (“Series A Preferred Units”). As the sole member of the General Partner, Summit REIT has exclusive control of Summit OP’s day-to-day management. The remaining Common Units of Summit OP are owned by third parties.

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 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 has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2011.

As of September 30, 2012, Summit REIT’s only material assets were its ownership of Common Units and Series A Preferred 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. As of September 30, 2012, Summit OP’s capital interests include Common Units, representing general and limited partnership interests, and Series A Preferred Units. 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) as noncontrolling interests in Summit REIT’s consolidated financial statements.

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 company.

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, 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:

●

“the LLC” refer to Summit Hotel Properties, LLC and references to “our predecessor” include the LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries;

●

“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 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 former Class C Member, which is wholly owned by our Executive Chairman, Kerry W. Boekelheide.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

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 partnership 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 issued and 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, Arizona 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, including Common Units representing the sole general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, which are held by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company as 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.

While the Operating Partnership was the survivor of and the legal acquirer of the Predecessor in the merger, for accounting and financial reporting purposes, the Predecessor is considered the accounting acquirer 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 September 30, 2012, our real estate investment portfolio consists of 73 upscale, upper midscale and midscale hotels with a total of 7,533 guestrooms located in small, mid-sized and suburban markets in 20 states (see Note 3 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 for the year ended December 31, 2011. 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.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

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 condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, and their subsidiaries. The accompanying condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation with no impact to net income, shareholders’ equity or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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 was effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of this ASU did not 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 was effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, the FASB decided to defer the effective date of those changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate only to the presentation of reclassification adjustments in the statement of income by issuing ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive income in Accounting Standards Update 2011-05. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

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

Derivatives and Hedges

We use interest rate derivatives to hedge our risks on variable-rate debt. We apply hedge accounting to our interest rate swap derivatives. Interest rate derivatives could include swaps, caps, and floors. We assess the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing changes in fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction.

All derivatives are recorded at fair value and reported as a derivative asset or liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges:

a) the effective portion of changes in fair value is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets and reclassified to interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings; and

b) the ineffective portion of changes in fair value is recognized directly in earnings “gain (loss) on derivatives” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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 GAAP 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 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 September 30, 2012 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 accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

As of September 30, 2012, the aggregate fair value of our consolidated mortgages and notes payable, (Level 2) is approximately $313.0 million, compared to the aggregate carrying value of approximately $312.3 million on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

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

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. Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation of real property, amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of franchise fees. Depreciation expense was $7,780,890 and $7,097,918 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Depreciation expense was $22,794,069 and $19,582,596 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs was $572,852 and $1,153,043 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs was $1,795,545 and $1,770,368 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization of franchise fees was $150,099 and $140,954 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization of franchise fees was $571,848 and $716,990 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

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 record the hotel at fair value.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company disposed of three hotels located in Twin Falls, ID for a sales price of $16.5 million. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company disposed of a hotel in Missoula, MT for a sales price of $1.9 million. As a result of entering into these sales agreements, we recorded an impairment loss within income (loss) from discontinued operations of approximately $932,000 and $1,166,000 during the first and second quarters of 2012, respectively, for those assets as the anticipated net proceeds were less than the carrying value.

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. If assets are classified as held for sale, they are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. 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. FASB ASC 360 also states that depreciation will cease to continue on held for sale assets.

Acquisitions

We allocate the purchase price of acquisitions based on the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. We determine the acquisition-date fair values of all assets and assumed liabilities using appraisals or 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 (level 3). 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 (see Note 3 for new acquisitions). Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

Equity-Based Compensation

Effective as of the closing of the IPO, we 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. In accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, 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 elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with our short taxable year ended December 31, 2011. 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.

Commencing on February 14, 2011, we began to account 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 6 - NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

As of September 30, 2012, limited partners of the Operating Partnership other than the Company owned 6,084,808 Common Units representing an approximate 16% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. Pursuant to the limited partnership agreement, redemption rights of the limited partners other than the Company enable those limited partners, at their election, to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem their Common Units in exchange for cash based upon the fair value of an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock at the time of redemption, or at the Company’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.

The Company classifies these Common Units as noncontrolling interests as a component of permanent equity on the September 30, 2012 condensed consolidated balance sheet. The share of net income (loss) allocated to these Common Units is reported on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the period of February 14, 2011 through September 30, 2011 as net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. During the second and third quarters of 2012, 3,270,062 and 745,130 Common Units were redeemed, respectively, and the Company elected to issue shares of Common Stock to the holders.

NOTE 7 - 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 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 option 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

Weighted average estimated fair value of
options at grant date per share	$	3.48

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.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized $125,874 and $51,201, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to these stock options. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized $377,622 and $314,685, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to these stock options. As of September 30, 2012, there was $2.5 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to these stock options. These costs are expected to be primarily recognized over an average period of 4.9 years.

These shares vested concurrent with the grant. On June 7, 2012, the Company granted 15,288 shares of stock to directors of the Company under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan and recognized $120,011 of compensation expense. These shares vested concurrent with the grant.

Under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company awarded 192,739 restricted shares to the executive officers on April 25, 2012. The shares issued vest over a period of time as determined by the Board at the date of grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense for non-vested shares on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based upon the fair market value of the shares on the date of issuance, adjusted for forfeitures.

A summary of the non-vested shares as of September 30, 2012 is as follows:

SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized $142,810 and $285,620, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to these restricted share awards. As of September 30, 2012, there was $1.3 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share awards. These costs are expected to be primarily recognized over an average period of 2.5 years.

NOTE 8 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Presented below is a summary of the components used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share. The Company applies the two-class method of computing earnings per share, which requires the calculation of separate earnings per share amounts for non-vested share-based awards and for common stock. Non-vested share-based awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends are considered securities which participate in undistributed earnings with common stock. Under the two-class computation method, net losses are not allocated to participating securities unless the holder of the security has a contractual obligation to share in the losses. The non-vested share-based payment awards are not allocated losses as the awards do not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company.

NOTE 9 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During 2012, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable-rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded $775 and $1,787, respectively, of hedge ineffectiveness in earnings due to slight mismatches in timing of payments.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $228,000 will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income as an increase to interest expense.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (in thousands):

Interest Rate Derivative		Number of Instruments				Notional Amount
Interest Rate Swaps			3			$	29,280

The maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the transactions related to the payment of variable interest on the existing derivative instruments is approximately seven years. The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 (amounts in thousands). The Company had no active derivatives as of December 31, 2011.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain provisions whereby, if the Company either defaults or can be declared in default on any of its indebtedness, the Company can also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

As of September 30, 2012, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position including any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements was $522,564. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has not posted any collateral related to this agreement and was not in breach of any agreement provisions. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at its aggregate termination value of approximately $546,780 at September 30, 2012.

NOTE 10 - 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.

We have entered into purchase agreements for the acquisition of several existing hotels and are currently engaged in performing due diligence investigations for some of the properties.

In December 2011 and January 2012, arbitration hearings were held to determine our claim against Choice Hotels International, Inc. (“Choice”) that Choice wrongfully terminated 11 of our franchise agreements, and Choice’s counterclaims of fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract and trademark infringement. On April 4, 2012, the arbitration panel determined, among other things, that Choice improperly terminated the 11 franchise agreements, that Choice is not entitled to recover liquidated damages in connection with the 11 hotels and that the Company did not make any materially false or misleading statements to Choice or omit any material information. The panel awarded the Company damages in the amount of $298,090 as full settlement of all claims submitted in the arbitration.

Overview

We focus primarily on acquiring and owning premium-branded select-service hotels in the upscale and upper midscale segments of the U.S. lodging industry, as these segments are currently defined by Smith Travel Research (“STR”). Since completion of our IPO on February 14, 2011, we have acquired 21 hotels with a total of 2,477 guestrooms for purchase prices aggregating approximately $245.2 million. Currently, we own 82 hotels with a total of 8,674 guestrooms located in 21 states. Except for five hotels, which are subject to ground leases, we own our hotels in fee simple. Our hotels are located in markets in which we have extensive experience and that exhibit multiple demand generators, such as business and corporate headquarters, retail centers, airports and tourist attractions. As of September 30, 2012, we owned 73 hotels and 56.7% of our guestrooms were located in the top 50 metropolitan statistical areas, or MSAs, and 78.2% were located within the top 100 MSAs. The majority of our hotels operate under premium franchise brands owned by Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”) (Courtyard by Marriott®, Residence Inn by Marriott®, SpringHill Suites by Marriott®, Fairfield Inn by Marriott®, Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott®, and TownePlace Suites by Marriott®), Hilton Worldwide (“Hilton”) (DoubleTree by Hilton®, Hampton Inn®, Hampton Inn & Suites®, Homewood Suites® and Hilton Garden Inn®), Intercontinental Hotel Group (“IHG”) (Holiday Inn®, Holiday Inn Express®, Holiday Inn Express and Suites® and Staybridge Suites®) and an affiliate of Hyatt Hotels Corporation (“Hyatt”) (Hyatt Place®).

A substantial majority of our hotels (65 of our 73 hotels as of September 30, 2012) are managed by Interstate Management Company, LLC (“Interstate”) pursuant to a hotel management agreement between Interstate, its affiliates and certain of our TRS lessees. In addition, our TRS lessees have entered into hotel management agreements with IHG Management (Maryland) LLC (“IHG Management”), an affiliate of IHG, pursuant to which IHG Management manages one hotel, with Courtyard Management Corporation (“Courtyard Management”), an affiliate of Marriott, pursuant to which Courtyard Management manages one hotel, with HP Hotels Management Company, Inc. (“HP Hotels”), pursuant to which HP Hotels manages two of our hotels, with Kana Hotels, Inc. (“Kana Hotels”), pursuant to which Kana Hotels manages two of our hotels, and with InterMountain Management, LLC (“InterMountain”), pursuant to which InterMountain manages two of our hotels. Our TRS lessees may also employ other hotel managers in the future. We have, and will have, no ownership or economic interest in any of the hotel management companies engaged by our TRS lessees.

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 upscale and upper midscale 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.

Industry Trends and Outlook

Room-night demand in the U.S. lodging industry is correlated to macroeconomic trends. Key drivers of demand include growth in gross domestic product, or GDP, corporate profits, capital investments and employment. We recognize that there are lingering concerns regarding global macroeconomic conditions. We continue to monitor macroeconomic trends, and evaluate their effect on demand for our guestrooms. As a result of scarcity of financing, the severe United States recession and declining hotel industry fundamentals during 2008 and 2009, the current pipeline for new hotel development is limited. Thus, we do not anticipate that we will experience a significant increase in the supply of new hotel rooms in our markets in the near term.

Our Portfolio

As of September 30, 2012, our portfolio consisted of 73 hotels with a total of 7,533 guestrooms. Of these hotels, according to STR’s current chain segment designations, 36 hotels containing 4,049 guestrooms are “upscale,” 33 hotels containing 3,216 guestrooms are “upper midscale” and four hotels containing 268 guestrooms are “midscale.” The following table sets forth certain information for our hotels by franchisor as of September 30, 2012:

Results of Operations

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. The discussion below compares the results of our operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to the three months ended September 30, 2011, and the results of our operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to the combined operating results of our Company for the period from February 14, 2011 through September 30, 2011, and the operations of our predecessor for the period from January 1, 2011 through February 13, 2011. The results of operations presented below should be reviewed in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Comparison of the Operating Results of Our Company for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 to the Operating Results of Our Company for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011

On May 16, 2012, we sold our three hotels located in Twin Falls, Idaho and on August 15, 2012, we sold our AmericInn hotel in Missoula, Montana. Accordingly, during the reporting periods we classified these hotels in discontinued operations and do not include their operating results in the discussion below.

The following table presents our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and includes the amount of change and percentage change between these periods:

	Company			Company			Period-over-Period
	Three Months Ended September 30, 2012			Three Months Ended September 30, 2011			Change

Net income (loss):	$	1,641		$	41		$	1,600		3902.4	%

Income from Operations. Income from operations increased by approximately $2.9 million to approximately $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from approximately $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in same-store revenues due to the improving economy and hotel industry fundamentals and renovations made at nine hotels, and accretive income from operations from the twelve hotels acquired in 2011 and 2012. In addition, the rebranding and upgrades that occurred in 2011 at the hotels involved in the arbitration matter with Choice Hotels International, Inc. (“Choice”) resulted in improved operating results at these hotels in 2012.

Total Revenue. The following tables set forth key operating metrics for our total portfolio (73 hotels as of September 30, 2012 and 66 hotels as of September 30, 2011) and for our same-store portfolio (61 hotels) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 (dollars in thousands, except ADR and RevPAR) and the percentage change between those two periods:

(1)	Occupancy rate, or occupancy, represents the weighted-average percentage of available guestrooms that were sold during a specified period of time and is calculated by dividing the number of guestrooms sold by the total number of guestrooms available, expressed as a percentage.
(2)	Average daily rate, or ADR, represents the weighted-average rate paid for guestrooms sold, calculated by dividing room revenue (i.e., excluding food and beverage revenues or other hotel operations revenues such as telephone, parking and other guest services) by guestrooms sold.
(3)	Revenue per available room, or RevPAR, is the product of ADR and occupancy. RevPAR does not include food and beverage revenues or other hotel operations revenues such as telephone, parking and other guest services.
(4)	The information in the tables above for our total portfolio for the three months ended September 30, 2012 includes revenues from the seven hotels we acquired during the first nine months of 2012 from July 1, 2012 or the date of acquisition of each hotel through September 30, 2012 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 the hotels acquired in the third quarter of 2012. Furthermore, the tables do not include the operating results in any period of our three hotels located in Twin Falls, Idaho that were sold on May 16, 2012, and one hotel located in Missoula, Montana that was sold on August 15, 2012.

Total revenue, including room and other hotel operations revenue, increased $10.8 million, from $40.4 million in 2011 to $ 51.2 million in 2012. The increase in revenues is due to an increase in same-store revenues of $4.7 million due to the improving economy and hotel industry fundamentals and renovations made at nine hotels, and accretive revenues of $6.1 million from the twelve hotels acquired in 2011 and 2012. In addition, the rebranding and upgrades that occurred in 2011 at the hotels involved in the Choice arbitration resulted in improved operating revenues at these hotels in 2012.

Hotel Operating Expenses. Hotel operating expenses increased by $6.1 million from $27.8 million in 2011 to $33.9 million in 2012. The increase is due in part to the $4.1 million of hotel operating expenses at the twelve hotel properties acquired in 2011 and 2012. In addition, the increase in same-store hotel operating expenses is due to $2.0 million of variable costs related to the increase in revenue. Expenses at the same-store hotels declined as a percentage of revenue from 69.4% in the third quarter of 2011 to 66.2% in the third quarter of 2012 due to stability in expenses despite increasing revenues at the hotels.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $0.4 million, from $8.1 million in 2011 to $8.5 million in 2012, primarily due to the additional depreciation associated with the seven hotels acquired during the first nine months of 2012.

Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expenses increased by $1.1 million from $1.4 million in 2011 to $2.5 million in 2012. The increase in expense was caused by an increase in equity-based compensation, bonus accruals and increases in professional fees and other business services.

Other Income/Expense. The approximately $0.7 million increase in other income (expense) was primarily the result of an increase in interest expense due to debt incurred to finance the acquisition of twelve hotels during 2011 and 2012.

Comparison of the Operating Results of Our Company for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 to the Combined Operating Results of Our Company and Our Predecessor for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

On May 16, 2012, we sold our three hotels located in Twin Falls, Idaho and on August 15, 2012, we sold our AmericInn hotel located in Missoula, Montana. Accordingly, during the reporting periods we classified these hotels in discontinued operations and do not include their operating results in the discussion below.

The following table presents our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and includes the amount of change and percentage change between these periods:

	Company			Company			Our Predecessor			Combined			Period-over-Period

Income from Operations. Income from operations increased by approximately $4.4 million to approximately $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from approximately $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in same-store revenues due to the improving economy and hotel industry fundamentals and renovations made at nine hotels, and accretive income from operations from the twelve hotels acquired in 2011 and 2012. In addition, the rebranding and upgrades that occurred in 2011 at the hotels involved in the Choice arbitration resulted in improved operating results at these hotels in 2012.

Total Revenue. The following tables set forth key operating metrics for our total portfolio (73 hotels as of September 30, 2012 and 66 hotels as of September 30, 2011) and for our same-store portfolio (61 hotels) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 (dollars in thousands, except ADR and RevPAR) and the percentage change between those two periods:

(1)	Occupancy rate, or occupancy, represents the weighted-average percentage of available guestrooms that were sold during a specified period of time and is calculated by dividing the number of guestrooms sold by the total number of guestrooms available, expressed as a percentage.
(2)	Average daily rate, or ADR, represents the weighted-average rate paid for guestrooms sold, calculated by dividing room revenue (i.e., excluding food and beverage revenues or other hotel operations revenues such as telephone, parking and other guest services) by guestrooms sold.
(3)	Revenue per available room, or RevPAR, is the product of ADR and occupancy. RevPAR does not include food and beverage revenues or other hotel operations revenues such as telephone, parking and other guest services.
(4)	The information in the tables above for our total portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 includes revenues from the seven hotels we acquired during the first nine months of 2012 from the date of acquisition of each hotel through September 30, 2012 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 nine months of operations for each of the hotels acquired in the first nine months of 2012. Furthermore, the tables do not include the operating results in any period of our three hotels located in Twin Falls, Idaho that were sold on May 16, 2012 and the one hotel located in Missoula, Montana that was sold on August 15, 2012.

Total revenue, including room and other hotel operations revenue, increased $28.8 million from $109.7 million in 2011 to $138.4 million in 2012. The increase in revenue is due to an increase in same-store revenues of $11.0 million due to the improving economy and hotel industry fundamentals and renovations made at nine hotels, and accretive revenues of $17.8 million from the twelve hotels acquired in 2011 and 2012. In addition, the rebranding and upgrades that occurred in 2011 at the hotels involved in the Choice arbitration resulted in improved operating revenues at these hotels in 2012.

Hotel Operating Expenses. Hotel operating expenses increased by $16.8 million from $76.4 million in 2011 to $93.2 million in 2012. The increase is primarily due to the $11.7 million of hotel operating expenses at the twelve hotel properties acquired in 2011 and 2012. In addition, the increase in same-store hotel operating expenses is due to $5.1 million of variable costs related to the increase in revenue. Expenses at the same-store hotels declined as a percentage of revenue from 70.0% in the first nine months of 2011 to 67.7% in the first nine months of 2012 due to stability in expenses despite increasing revenues at the hotels.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $3.6 million, from $21.2 million in 2011 to $24.8 million in 2012, primarily due to the additional depreciation associated with twelve hotels acquired after September 30, 2011.

Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expenses increased by $2.0 million from $4.3 million in 2011 to $6.3 million in 2012. Expenses following the IPO relate to salaries, certain professional fees, equity-based compensation and bonus accruals, which expenses were not incurred by our predecessor prior to the IPO. In addition, we incurred $0.2 million of legal expenses during the first nine months of 2012 related to the arbitration with Choice.

Other Income/Expense. The approximate $2.8 million decrease in other income (expense) was the result of a $2.5 million decline in interest expense due to significantly lower indebtedness levels in 2012 than in 2011. Following our IPO, the company paid off approximately $227.2 million of indebtedness with proceeds of the IPO and concurrent private placement. In addition to the significantly higher interest costs on indebtedness incurred in the first quarter 2011, the company paid approximately $0.6 million in defeasance and exit fees related to that payoff in the first quarter of 2011. The Company acquired twelve hotels from the IPO to September 30, 2012. Since September 30, 2012, the Company has acquired nine hotels and anticipates continuing to acquire hotels. As a result, interest expense is expected to rise.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities increased approximately $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the prior-year period largely due to improved earnings resulting from increasing revenues. The $2.2 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the prior-year period was primarily the result of $18.0 million realized from hotel and land dispositions, offset by an increase in cash used to acquire an additional $15.9 million in land and hotel acquisitions in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. The $16.3 million decrease in net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the prior-year period was due to net change in debt proceeds and payments in the first nine months of 2012. In the first quarter of 2011, the Company generated $240.8 million from the receipt of the net proceeds from our IPO and concurrent private placement, partially offset by repayment of loan obligations of approximately $227.2 million and distributions paid by our predecessor to its members prior to our IPO of $8.3 million.

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, acquisitions, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, and distributions to our stockholders.

Acquisitions

On January 12, 2012, we purchased 90% of the ownership interests in the 150 unit Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Atlanta, Georgia for a purchase price of approximately $28.5 million, or approximately $190,000 per key. Upon expiration of tax credits related to the hotel in approximately four years, we are obligated to take assignment of the remaining ownership of the hotel for approximately $400,000.We expect to perform a minor renovation of approximately $230,000, for a combined purchase price and renovation cost of approximately $191,500 per key. We funded the purchase price of this acquisition with a term loan with Empire Financial with a principal balance of $19.0 million, and funded the remainder of the purchase price with borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility. We engaged Courtyard Management to manage the hotel pursuant to a hotel management agreement.

On February 28, 2012, we purchased from an unaffiliated third party a 95 unit Hilton Garden Inn hotel in Birmingham, Alabama for a purchase price of approximately $8.6 million, or approximately $90,789 per key. We expect to perform approximately $1.6 million of renovations to the hotel for a combined purchase and renovation cost of approximately $107,600 per key. We funded the purchase price of this acquisition with a term loan with a principal balance of $5.6 million, and funded the remainder of the purchase price with borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility. We engaged HP Hotels to manage the hotel pursuant to a hotel management agreement.

On February 28, 2012, we purchased from an unaffiliated third party a 130 unit Hilton Garden Inn hotel in Birmingham, Alabama for a purchase price of approximately $11.5 million, or approximately $88,461 per key.

We engaged HP Hotels to manage the hotel pursuant to a hotel management agreement.

On May 16, 2012, we purchased from an unaffiliated third party a 103 unit Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Arlington, Texas for a purchase price of approximately $15.0 million, or approximately $145,631 per key. We expect to perform very minor renovations. We funded the purchase price for this acquisition with a draw on our secured revolving credit facility. We engaged InterMountain to manage the hotel pursuant to a hotel management agreement.

On May 16, 2012, we purchased from an unaffiliated third party a 112 unit Hilton Garden Inn hotel in Nashville (Smyrna), Tennessee for a purchase price of approximately $11.5 million, or approximately $107,143 per key. We expect to perform approximately $500,000 of renovations, for a combined purchase and renovation cost of approximately $111,600 per key. We funded the purchase price for this acquisition through assumption of a term loan with Banc of America Commercial Mortgage, Inc. with an outstanding balance of $8.7 million, and with a draw on our credit facility of approximately $3.3 million. We engaged Kana Hotels to manage the hotel pursuant to a hotel management agreement.

On June 21, 2012, we purchased from an unaffiliated third party an 83 unit Hampton Inn & Suites hotel in Nashville (Smyrna), Tennessee for a purchase price of approximately $8.0 million, or approximately $102,409 per key. We expect to perform approximately $450,000 of renovations, for a combined purchase and renovation cost of approximately $107,800 per key. We funded the purchase price for this acquisition through assumption of a term loan with Merrill Lynch Mortgage Lending, Inc. with an outstanding balance of $5.4 million, and with a draw on our credit facility of approximately $3.3 million. We engaged Kana Hotels to manage the hotel pursuant to a hotel management agreement.

We expect to perform very minor renovations. We funded the purchase price for this acquisition with a draw on our credit facility. We engaged InterMountain Hotels to manage the hotel pursuant to a hotel management agreement.

For a discussion of acquisitions that have occurred after September 30, 2012, please see “-- Recent Developments.”

Dispositions

On May 16, 2012, we sold the Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn Express and AmericInn hotels located in Twin Falls, Idaho. The aggregate sale price was $16.5 million. We paid off approximately $5.6 million of term debt related to the hotels, and paid down our secured revolving credit facility by $9.0 million with the proceeds of the sale. In August 2012, we sold the 52-room AmericInn Hotel & Suites in Missoula, Montana, which was held for sale at June 30, 2012, for approximately $1.9 million. Because the hotels were held for sale during the reporting period, the results of operations of these hotels are included in discontinued operations.

Short-Term Liquidity Requirements

We expect to satisfy our short-term liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures, 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 secured revolving credit facility. In addition, we may fund the purchase price of hotel acquisitions and cost of required capital improvements by assuming existing mortgage debt, issuing securities (including partnership units issued by Summit OP), or incurring other mortgage debt. 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 sources of capital are 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 secured revolving credit facility, and other sources of funds available to us will be sufficient to meet our ongoing short-term liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Since January 1, 2012, we have refinanced $84.3 million of our existing debt that would otherwise have matured or been callable during 2012, leaving approximately $20.1 million of debt (approximately 6.4% of our outstanding debt) that matures prior to December 31, 2013. It may be difficult to refinance such loans on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and we may not have sufficient borrowing capacity on our revolving credit facility to repay the maturing debt using draws on that facility for amounts that we are unable to refinance. Although we believe that we will be able to refinance these loans or will have the capacity to repay them, if necessary, using draws under our revolving credit facility, there can be no assurance that our revolving credit facility will be available to repay such maturing debt, as draws under our credit facility are subject to certain financial covenants.

On October 3, 2012, Summit REIT completed a public offering of 13,800,000 shares of common stock, in which it raised net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering costs, of approximately $107.0 million. The proceeds from this offering were used to fund the acquisition of eight Hyatt hotels on October 5, 2012, for a purchase price of $87.4 million, and the acquisition of a Hilton Garden Inn in Fort Worth, Texas on October 23, 2012, for a purchase price of $7.2 million. The remaining $12.4 million in proceeds are anticipated to be used to acquire additional hotels.

We have entered into an agreement to purchase a 178 unit Residence Inn in Salt Lake City, Utah for a purchase price of $20.0 million. We currently intend to fund the acquisition by assuming approximately $14.1 million of existing first mortgage debt and with proceeds from our common stock offering and, if needed, additional borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility. We anticipate spending $6.5 million on renovations, which would be funded with borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility. The acquisition is subject to lender and franchisor approval and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. We can give no assurance that the acquisition will be consummated. We expect to complete the proposed acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2012.

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 sources of capital are 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. We generally intend to distribute at least 100% of our REIT taxable income to avoid tax on undistributed income. 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

As of September 30, 2012, we had approximately $312.3 million in outstanding indebtedness secured by mortgages on 67 hotels and six hotels unencumbered by mortgage debt, including four hotels containing 464 guestrooms operating under brands owned by Marriott, Hilton, IHG and Hyatt that are available to be used as collateral for potential future loans. Our revolving credit facility is available to fund future acquisitions, property redevelopments and working capital requirements (including the repayment of debt).

We maintain a prudent capital structure and, while the ratio will vary from time to time, we generally intend to limit our ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to no more than six to one. For purposes of calculating this ratio, we exclude the liquidation preference of preferred stock from indebtedness. During the first nine months 2012, we financed our long-term growth with debt financing having staggered maturities, and intend to continue to do so in the future. Our debt includes, and may include in the future, mortgage debt secured by hotels and unsecured debt.

$125 Million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

Summit OP, as borrower, and Summit REIT, as guarantor, entered into a $125.0 million 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, Regions Bank, and U.S. Bank National Association.

The facility matures May 15, 2015, with an option to extend for one additional year if we meet certain requirements. Outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facility are limited to the least of (1) $125.0 million, (2) 60% of the aggregate appraised value of the borrowing base assets and (3) a formula related to the aggregate adjusted net operating income of the borrowing base assets securing the facility. The availability of the credit facility is also subject to a borrowing base having no fewer than 15 properties. As of September 30, 2012, 26 hotel properties are included in the borrowing base and the maximum amount of borrowing permitted by the terms of the credit facility is approximately $112.0 million, of which we had approximately $69.9 million borrowed, approximately $1.3 million in standby letters of credit and approximately $ 40.8 million available to borrow. As of November 6, 2012, the maximum amount of borrowing permitted by the terms of the credit facility is approximately $113.7 million of which we have approximately $69.4 million borrowed, approximately $1.3 million in standby letters of credit, and a total remaining availability of $43.0 million.

We pay interest on the periodic advances under the $125.0 million revolving credit facility at varying rates, based upon, at our option, either (i) 1-, 2-, 3- or 6-month LIBOR, 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 a 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. The LIBOR margin ranges from 2.25% to 2.75%, and the base rate margin ranges from 1.25% to 1.75%.

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 Summit Hotel TRS II, Inc., which we formed in connection with the credit facility to wholly own the TRS lessees that lease each of the borrowing base assets.

On August 7, 2012, we added three properties as collateral to the borrowing base on our secured revolving credit facility. The properties include the 90 unit Courtyard by Marriott located in El Paso, Texas, the 103 unit Courtyard by Marriott located in Arlington, Texas and the 96 unit Residence Inn located in Arlington, Texas.

As of September 30, 2012, the borrowing base assets are as follows:

●	SpringHill Suites, Little Rock, AR	●	Fairfield Inn, Salina, KS

●	Fairfield Inn, Denver, CO	●	Fairfield Inn, Baton Rouge, LA

●	Hampton Inn, Fort Collins, CO	●	SpringHill Suites, Baton Rouge, LA

●	Staybridge Suites, Glendale, CO	●	TownePlace Suites, Baton Rouge, LA

●	AmericInn, Golden, CO	●	Homewood Suites, Ridgeland, MS

●	Fairfield Inn, Golden, CO	●	Hampton Inn, Medford, OR

●	Hampton Inn, Boise, ID	●	SpringHill Suites, Nashville, TN

●	Residence Inn, Fort Wayne, IN	●	Courtyard by Marriott, Arlington, TX

●	Hilton Garden Inn, Duluth, GA	●	Residence Inn, Arlington, TX

●	Holiday Inn, Duluth, GA	●	Courtyard by Marriott, El Paso, TX

●	Fairfield Inn, Emporia, KS	●	Hampton Inn, Provo, UT

●	Holiday Inn Express, Emporia, KS	●	Fairfield Inn, Bellevue, WA

●	AmericInn, Salina, KS	●	Fairfield Inn, Spokane, WA

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, and subject to adding additional properties to the borrowing base.

On November 6, 2012, we increased the commitment on our revolving credit facility to $150.0 million by adding Citibank, N.A. as a lender to the facility. The actual amount of borrowing capacity available depends on the value of the properties comprising the borrowing base that secures the credit facility.

Financial and Other Covenants. 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) ranging from 7.25:1.00 to 5.75:1.00;

●

a minimum ratio of adjusted consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the loan documentation) to consolidated fixed charges (as defined in the loan documentation) ranging from 1.40:1.00 to 1.50:1.00;

●

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.

Other Outstanding Indebtedness

As of September 30, 2012, we had approximately $242.4 million in outstanding indebtedness, not including our revolving credit facility, with six hotels unencumbered by mortgage debt. As of November 6, 2012, we have approximately $241.2 million in outstanding indebtedness, not including our revolving credit facility, with 15 hotels unencumbered by mortgage debt, including hotels with 1,605 rooms operating under brands owned by Marriott, Hilton, IHG or Hyatt, available as collateral for potential future loans. We intend to secure or assume term loan financing or use the secured credit facility, together with other sources of financing, to fund future acquisitions. We may not succeed in obtaining new financing on favorable terms or at all and we cannot predict the size or terms of the financing if we are able to obtain it. Our failure to obtain new financing could adversely affect our ability to grow our business.

Total		$312,250

(1)	As of September 30, 2012, the Prime rate was 3.25%, 90-day LIBOR was 0.360% and 30-day LIBOR was 0.214%.

(2)	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.

(3)	The three GECC loans are cross-defaulted. All three loans are subject to a prepayment penalty equal to 1% of the principal repaid prior to August 1, 2013, and 0% of the principal repaid thereafter. In addition to the mortgages securing each of the loans, GECC has additional mortgages 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.

(4)	Effective June 24, 2012, the Chambers Bank loan was refinanced, extending the maturity date to June 24, 2014. Summit Hotel Properties, Inc. executed a guaranty limited to non-recourse carve-outs, replacing the guaranty in place from an affiliate of our Predecessor.

(5)	On June 21, 2012, we assumed a term loan with an outstanding balance of $5.4 million with Merrill Lynch Mortgage Lending, Inc., NA to purchase the 83 unit Hampton Inn & Suites hotel in Nashville (Smyrna), TN. The loan is subject to defeasance in the event of payment before maturity.

(6)	On February 14, 2012, we refinanced this loan. It now matures February 1, 2017, is amortized over approximately 17 years and bears an annual interest rate of 4.95%. There is a prepayment penalty of 3% if the loan is paid off in the first two years, 2% in year 3 and 1% in years 4 and 5. The loan is collateralized by a first mortgage lien on two hotels containing 197 rooms.

(7)	On January 12, 2012, Carnegie Hotels, LLC, an entity of which we own 90% of the ownership interests, entered into a $19.0 million term loan with Empire Financial Services, Inc. The interest rate is 6.00% fixed. The loan matures February 1, 2017 and is secured by a first mortgage lien on the Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. The loan carries a prepayment penalty of two percent (2%) for prepayments occurring before January 13, 2013.

(8)	On March 2, 2012, we entered into a $5.6 million term loan with General Electric Capital Corporation to purchase the 95-unit Hilton Garden Inn in Birmingham, Alabama. The loan may not be prepaid during the first 12 months, and may be prepaid with a 2% prepayment fee during the second loan year, and 1% prepayment during the third loan year. The note is cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with the $6.5 million loan on the 130-unit Hilton Garden Inn in Birmingham, Alabama.

(9)	On March 2, 2012, we entered into a $6.5 million term loan with General Electric Capital Corporation to purchase the 130-unit Hilton Garden Inn in Birmingham, Alabama. The loan may not be prepaid during the first 12 months, and may be prepaid with a 2% prepayment fee during the second loan year, and 1% prepayment during the third loan year. The note is cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with the $5.6 million loan on the 95-unit Hilton Garden Inn in Birmingham, Alabama.

(10)	On April 4, 2012, we refinanced the National Western Life Insurance and Annuity loan on the Courtyard by Marriott in Scottsdale, Arizona with a $9.75 million term loan with GE Capital Financing Inc. The interest rate is 6.03%. The loan matures May 1, 2017 and is secured by a first mortgage lien on the Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona. The loan carries a prepayment penalty of one percent (1%) plus defeasance. The loan is cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with the $5.25 million loan on the SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Scottsdale, Arizona.

(11)	On April 4, 2012, we refinanced the National Western Life Insurance and Annuity loan on the SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Scottsdale, Arizona with a $5.25 million term loan with GE Capital Financing Inc. The interest rate is 6.03%. The loan matures May 1, 2017 and is secured by a first mortgage lien on the SpringHill by Marriott hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona. The loan carries a prepayment penalty of one percent (1%) plus defeasance. The loan is cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with the $9.75 million loan on the Courtyard by Marriott in Scottsdale, Arizona.

(12)	Effective June 29, 2012, the Bank of the Ozarks loan was refinanced, extending the maturity date to July 10, 2017. In addition, Bank of the Ozarks advanced an additional $2.6 million, representing the amount available pursuant to the earn-out provision of the loan. The interest rate was fixed at 5.75% for three years, with the rate at LIBOR plus 3.75% or a fixed rate of 5.5% thereafter.

(13)	On May 16, 2012, we assumed a term loan with an outstanding balance of $8.7 million with Banc of America Commercial Mortgage, Inc. to purchase the 112 unit Hilton Garden Inn hotel in Nashville (Smyrna), TN. The loan is subject to defeasance in the event of payment before maturity.

(14)	On October 11, 2012, we entered into an agreement to hedge our interest rate on $12.1 million of the outstanding principal balance of this loan, with an effective fixed rate of 4.57%.

(15)	The loan carries a fixed interest rate of 4.66% until September 30, 2016 and a fixed interest rate thereafter of the then-current Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle Intermediate/Long-Term, Advances Five-year Fixed Rate plus 3.00%.

(16)	On February 13, 2012, we closed on the consolidation and refinance of our four loans with ING Life Insurance and Annuity. The lender has the right to call the loan so as to be payable in full at March 1, 2019, March 1, 2024 or March 1, 2029. If the loan is repaid prior to maturity, other than if called by the lender, there is a prepayment penalty equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the principal being repaid and (ii) the yield maintenance premium. The yield maintenance premium under the new ING loan 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.

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.

Capital Expenditures

During the first nine months of 2012 we spent approximately $14.6 million, of the $23.0 million anticipated total to be spent during 2012, on renovations and other non-recurring capital expenditures at our 61 same-store hotels. During the first nine months of 2012, we spent approximately $2.5 million, of the $5.0 million anticipated total to be spent during 2012, on renovations and other non-recurring capital expenditures at the five hotels acquired during 2011 and seven hotels acquired during the first nine months of 2012. We currently have renovations underway at 13 of our hotels. We expect to fund the future capital improvements with working capital, borrowings and other potential sources of capital to the extent available to us.

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 September 30, 2012 (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)	$	383.6	$	37.0	$	122.2	$	106.8	$	117.6
Operating Lease obligations		37.4		0.4		0.9		1.0		35.1
Total	$	421.0	$	37.4	$	123.1	$	107.8	$	152.7

(1)

The amounts shown include amortization of principal, debt maturities, and estimated interest payments on our obligations. Interest payments on variable rate debt obligations have been estimated based on the interest rates in effect at September 30, 2012, after giving effect to our interest rate swaps.

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.

Recent Developments

On October 5, 2012, we purchased from affiliates of Hyatt, a portfolio of eight hotels containing an aggregate of 1,043 guestrooms for a purchase price of approximately $87.4 million. We expect to perform approximately $7.8 million of renovations at these hotels for a combined purchase and renovation cost of approximately $91,300 per key. We funded the purchase price for this acquisition with proceeds from our common stock offering completed on October 3, 2012. Renovations will be funded with a draw on our credit facility. The hotels are managed by Select Hotels Group, L.L.C., an affiliate of Hyatt. The hotels purchased include:

Hotel	Location	Number of Rooms
Hyatt Place-Arlington	Dallas (Arlington), TX		127
Hyatt Place-Park Meadows	Denver (Lone Tree), CO		127
Hyatt Place-Denver Tech Center	Denver (Englewood), CO		126

Hyatt Place-Phoenix	Phoenix, AZ		127
Hyatt Place-Scottsdale	Scottsdale, AZ		127
	Total		1,043

On October 23, 2012, we purchased from an unaffiliated third party a 98 unit Hilton Garden Inn in Fort Worth, Texas for a purchase price of $7.2 million or approximately $73,470 per key. We expect to perform approximately $2.4 million of renovations to the hotel for a combined purchase and renovation cost of approximately $97,000 per key. We funded the purchase price for this acquisition with proceeds from our common stock offering completed on October 3, 2012. We engaged FCH Hospitality, Inc. to manage the hotel pursuant to a hotel management agreement.

On October 30, 2012, we entered into an agreement with an affiliate of Hyatt Hotels Corporation to fund $20 million in the form of a first mortgage loan on a hotel property located in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. The $20 million represents a portion of the total acquisition and renovation costs expected to be incurred to convert the property to a Hyatt Place hotel. Subject to the certain conditions including the successful conversion of the property, estimated to be completed in summer 2013, we plan to purchase the property and enter into a management agreement with a Hyatt affiliate.

On November 6, 2012, we entered into an agreement to increase the aggregate amount available on our revolving credit facility from $125.0 million to $150.0 million by adding Citibank, N.A. as a lender on the facility. The actual amount of borrowing capacity available depends upon the value of the properties comprising the borrowing base that secure the credit facility.

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 exposure is to the 30-day LIBOR and 90-day LIBOR rates. We primarily use fixed interest rate financing to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. We have entered into contractual arrangements to hedge against interest rate increases on certain of our outstanding variable-rate indebtedness. These arrangements have notional amounts of approximately $29.5 million (effective May 4, 2012) and approximately $12.1 million (effective October 10, 2012).

As of September 30, 2012, approximately 65.6%, or approximately $204.9 million, of our debt bore fixed interest rates and approximately 34.4%, or approximately $107.4 million bore variable interest rates. For these purposes, we include as fixed interest rate debt the loans for which we have contractual arrangements to hedge against interest rate increases. Assuming no increase in the amount of our variable rate debt, and considering our hedging arrangements and the existing floor interest rates on several of our loans, if the index rates on our variable rate debt were to increase by 100 basis points, our cash flow would decrease by approximately $0.7 million per year. The information in this paragraph does not take into account our hedge of approximately $12.1 million of indebtedness on October 11, 2012.

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 $21.6 million of our long-term debt will mature during the next 12 months, which amount is comprised of $6.8 million amortizing principal paid in regular monthly payments and $14.8 in loans with balloon payments during the next 12 months.
