EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 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. 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. On October 28, 2011, Summit REIT completed a follow-on public offering of 2,000,000 shares of its 9.25% Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”). As of March 31, 2012, Summit REIT owned approximately 73.0% of the issued and outstanding Common Units, including the sole general partnership interest held by the General Partner. As of December 31, 2011, Summit REIT owned all 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 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 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 ending December 31, 2011 upon filing its federal income tax return for that year.

As of March 31, 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 March 31, 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, including 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 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)

MARCH 31, 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 limited 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 March 31, 2012, our real estate investment portfolio consists of 73 upscale, upper midscale and midscale hotels with a total of 7,469 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.

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.

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 is 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 is 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.

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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2012, the aggregate fair value of our consolidated mortgages and notes payable, which includes the mortgage classified in liabilities related to assets held for sale, (Level 2) is approximately $279.0 million, compared to the aggregate carrying value of approximately $277.1 million on our consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2011, the aggregate fair value was approximately $217.4 million compared to the aggregate carrying value of approximately $217.1 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

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 $7,575,242 and $6,137,999 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs was $765,333 and $279,387 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization of franchise fees was $139,713 and $441,045 for the three months ended March 31, 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 reflect the hotel at fair value.

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to dispose of three hotels located in Twin Falls, ID for a purchase price of $16.5 million. As a result of entering into this agreement, we have recorded an impairment loss of approximately $932,000 for those consolidated assets as the anticipated net proceeds are 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.

As a part of routine procedures, 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 and our land held for development to identify properties which we believe are either non-core or no longer complement the business as required by FASB ASC 360. We have reclassified three hotels located in Twin Falls, ID as held for sale as we have entered into a purchase and sale agreement on these hotels and plan to close on the sale during the second quarter of 2012. (see Note 5 for discontinued operations)

Accrued expenses		286,556
Mortgage		5,655,698
	$	5,963,960

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 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 (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, 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 ending 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.

MARCH 31, 2012

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 2 - EQUITY

Common Shares

On February 14, 2011, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 27,274,000 common shares, par value of $.01 per share. Upon completion of the offering, the Company issued 4,000 common shares to our independent directors pursuant to the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan. Effective February 14, 2011, the Company granted options to purchase 940,000 common shares (see Note 7). The Company paid dividends of $.1125 per share on February 28, 2012.

Preferred Shares

On October 28, 2011, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 2,000,000 shares of 9.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value of $.01 per share. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on or about the last day of February, May, August and November of each year. The Company paid dividends of $.578125 per share on February 28, 2012.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS

We acquired five hotels during 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. We purchased the Courtyard by Marriott in El Paso, TX on July 28, 2011 for approximately $12.4 million. The purchases were financed with borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We did not acquire any intangibles or assume any debt related to these five acquisitions.

We have acquired three hotels during the first quarter of 2012. We purchased the Courtyard by Marriott in Atlanta, GA on January 12, 2012 for approximately $28.5 million, the Hilton Garden Inn in Birmingham, AL for approximately $11.5 million on February 28, 2012, and another Hilton Garden Inn in Birmingham, AL for approximately $8.6 million on February 28, 2012. The allocations of fair value for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the Courtyard by Marriott in Atlanta, GA are estimated based on available information, however, we are still in the process of finalizing our accounting for this transaction.

	(in millions)		(in millions)

Fixed-rate mortgage loans	$	158.3	$	122.6
Variable-rate mortgage loans		118.8		94.5
	$	277.1	$	217.1

On February 14, 2012, we refinanced the MetaBank loan of $7.0 million. 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.

On March 2, 2012, we entered into a $5.55 million term loan with General Electric Capital Corporation to purchase the 95-unit Hilton Garden Inn in Birmingham, Alabama. The interest rate is fixed for three years at 5.51%. On the third anniversary of the notice, the rate will convert to a variable rate of 90-day LIBOR plus 5.28%. The note matures on April 1, 2017, and is secured by a first priority lien on 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 note on the 130-unit Hilton Garden Inn in Birmingham, Alabama.

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 interest rate is fixed for three years at 5.51%. On the third anniversary of the notice, the rate will convert to a variable rate of 90-day LIBOR plus 5.28%. The note matures on April 1, 2017, and is secured by a first priority lien on 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 $5.55 million note on the 95-unit Hilton Garden Inn in Birmingham, Alabama.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

MARCH 31, 2012

On February 13, 2012, we closed on the consolidation and refinance of our four loans with ING Life Insurance and Annuity, which four loans collectively had an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $69.5 million as of December 31, 2011. The loans were consolidated into a single term loan with a principal balance of $67.5 million, maturity date of March 1, 2032, amortized over 20 years and bearing an annual interest rate of 6.10%, collateralized by first mortgage liens on 16 properties containing 1,639 guestrooms. 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. Pursuant to the consolidation, the mortgages on the Courtyard by Marriott, Missoula, MT and the Courtyard by Marriott, Memphis, TN were released and new mortgages were taken on the Country Inn & Suites and the Holiday Inn Express in Charleston, West Virginia.

On January 12, 2012, the Company 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 one percent (1%) for prepayments occurring before January 13, 2013.

NOTE 5 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company has reclassified its consolidated financial statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 to reflect discontinued operations of three consolidated hotel properties classified as held for sale during this period pursuant to the plan for hotel dispositions. This reclassification has no impact on the Company’s net income or the net income per share.

NOTE 6 - NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

As of March 31, 2012, 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. Beginning on or after February 14, 2012, 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 March 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet. The share of net loss allocated to these Common Units is reported on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for three months ended March 31, 2012 and the period of February 14, 2011 through March 31, 2011 as net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the period from February 14, 2011 through March 31, 2011, no Common Units were redeemed.

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 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 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

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 8 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Diluted loss per share was the same as basic loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 as options to purchase 940,000 shares of common stock were anti-dilutive.

NOTE 9 - 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 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 amount of $298,090 as full settlement of all claims submitted in the arbitration. Neither the Company nor Choice was entitled to recover attorney’s fees in connection with the matter.

Overview

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”). Since completion of our IPO on February 14, 2011, we have acquired 8 hotels with a total of 942 guestrooms located in five states for purchase prices aggregating approximately $98.6 million. Currently, we own 73 hotels with a total of 7,469 guestrooms located in 20 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. 52% of our guestrooms are located in the top 50 metropolitan statistical areas, or MSAs, and 74% are 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®).

Substantially all of our hotels (69 of our 73 hotels as of March 31, 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, and with HP Hotels Management Company, Inc. (“HP Hotels”), pursuant to which HP Hotels 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 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.

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 are guardedly optimistic about macroeconomic conditions and their positive effect on demand for our guestrooms. In addition, 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 March 31, 2012, our portfolio consisted of 73 hotels with a total of 7,469 guestrooms. Of these hotels, according to STR’s current chain segment designations, 33 hotels containing 3,738 guestrooms are “upscale,” 32 hotels containing 3,110 guestrooms are “upper midscale” and eight hotels containing 621 guestrooms are “midscale.” The following table sets forth certain information for our hotels by franchisor as of March 31, 2012:

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 a partial quarter would not be meaningful, and we have therefore set forth a discussion comparing the results of our operations for the first quarter of 2012 to the combined operating results of our operations for the period from February 14, 2011 through March 31, 2011, and the historical results of operations for the period from January 1, 2011 through February 13, 2011 of our predecessor. 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 the Combined Operating Results of Our Company for the Three Months Ended March 31,

2012 to the Operating Results of Our Company and Our Predecessor for the Three Months Ended March 31,

2011

During the first quarter of 2012, we entered into a sale agreement to dispose of our three hotels located in Twin Falls, Idaho. Accordingly, we have classified these hotels as held for sale and do not include their operating results in the discussion below.

The following table presents our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 and includes the amount of change and percentage change between these periods:

Income from Operations. Income from operations increased by approximately $0.5 million to approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in same-store revenues due to the improving economy and hotel industry fundamentals, and accretive income from operations from the three hotels acquired in the first quarter of 2012, and five hotels acquired in 2011.

Revenue. The following tables set forth key operating metrics for our total portfolio (70 hotels as of March 31, 2012 and 62 hotels as of March 31, 2011) and for our same-store portfolio (62 hotels) for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 (dollars in thousands, except ADR and RevPAR) and the percentage change between those two periods:

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2012
	Total Revenue		Occupancy(1)			ADR(2)		RevPAR(3)
Total Portfolio (70 hotels)(4)	$	40,006		64.9	%	$	93.93	$	60.99
Same-Store Portfolio (62 hotels)	$	34,251		64.2	%	$	92.01	$	59.03

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2011
	Total Revenue		Occupancy(1)			ADR(2)		RevPAR(3)
Total and Same-Store Portfolio (62 hotels)	$	32,375		60.8	%	$	92.62	$	56.30

	Percentage Change from Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012
	Total Revenue			Occupancy(1)			ADR(2)			RevPAR(3)
Total Portfolio (70 hotels and 62 hotels)(4)		23.6	%		6.7	%		1.4	%		8.3	%
Same-Store Portfolio (62 hotels)		5.8	%		5.6	%		(0.7	%)		4.8	%

(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 March 31, 2012 includes revenues from the three hotels we acquired during the first quarter of 2012 from the date of acquisition of each hotel through March 31, 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 each of the hotels acquired in the first quarter of 2012. Furthermore, the tables do not include the operating results in any period of our three hotels that are deemed held for sale as of March 31, 2012.

Hotel operating revenues, including room and other hotel operations revenue, increased $7.6 million, from $32.4 million in 2011 to $40.0 million in 2012. The increase in revenues is due to an increase in same-store revenues of $1.9 million due to the improving economy and hotel industry fundamentals, and accretive revenues of $5.7 million from the three hotels acquired in the first quarter of 2012 and five hotels acquired in 2011.

Hotel Operating Expenses. Hotel operating expenses increased by $4.4 million from $23.6 million in 2011 to $28.0 million in 2012. The increase is primarily due to the $1.9 million of hotel operating expenses generated by the five hotel properties acquired in 2011 and three hotels acquired during the first quarter of 2012. In addition, the increase in same-store hotel operating expenses is due to $2.5 million of variable costs related to the increase in revenue. Expenses at the same-store hotels declined as a percentage of revenue from 72.7% in the first quarter of 2011 to 70.5% in the first quarter of 2012 due to stability in expenses despite increasing revenues at the hotels.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.6 million, from $6.6 million in 2011 to $8.2 million in 2012, primarily due to the additional depreciation associated with eight newly acquired hotels.

Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expenses increased by $0.5 million from $1.3 million in 2011 to $1.8 million in 2012. These expenses were 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. In addition, we incurred $0.2 million of legal expenses during the first quarter of 2012 related to the arbitration with Choice Hotels International, Inc.

Other Income/Expense. The approximately $4.5 million decrease in other income (expense) was the result of a $4.5 million decline in interest expense due to significantly lower indebtedness levels in 2012 than 2011. Following our IPO, the company paid off approximately $223.7million 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 $2.6 million in defeasance and exit fees related to that payoff in the first quarter of 2011.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities increased approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior-year period largely due to improved net income resulting from increasing revenues. The $53.4 million increase in net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior-year period was the result of $48.7 million in land and hotel acquisitions in the three months ended March 31, 2012 with no properties acquired during the same period in 2011. In addition, purchases of other property and equipment increased by $3.7 million from $3.1 million the first quarter of 2011 to $6.8 million during the first quarter of 2012, reflecting increased remodeling activity on the same-store hotel portfolio. The $45.2 million increase in net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior-year period was due to proceeds from issuance of new debt in the first quarter of 2012. In the first quarter of 2011, the company generated $241.3 million from the receipt of the net proceeds from our IPO and concurrent private placement, partially offset by repayment of loan obligations of approximately $225.2 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 $8.625 million, or approximately $90,789 per key. We expect to perform approximately $1 million of renovations to the hotel for a combined purchase and renovation cost of approximately $101,300 per key. We funded the purchase price of this acquisition with a term loan with a principal balance of $6.4 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 expect to perform approximately $400,000 of renovations to the hotel for a combined purchase and renovation cost of approximately $92,000 per key. We funded the purchase price for this acquisition with a term loan with a principal balance of $7.9 million and a draw on our secured revolving credit facility of approximately $4.0 million. We engaged HP Hotels to manage the hotel pursuant to a hotel management agreement.

Dispositions

In the first quarter of 2012, we entered into a sale agreement to dispose of the Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn Express and AmericInn hotels located in Twin Falls, Idaho. The aggregate sale price is $16.5 million. The sale is anticipated to close on May 16, 2012. Accordingly, these hotels are presented as held for sale as of March 31, 2012.

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 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 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 $76.5 million of our existing debt that would otherwise have matured or been callable during 2012, leaving approximately $28.3 million of debt (approximately 10.2% 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.

During the first quarter of 2012 we have spent approximately $7.9 million, of the $23.0 million anticipated total to be spent during 2012, on renovations and other non-recurring capital expenditures at our 62 same-store hotels. During 2012, we have spent approximately $0.5 million, of the $6.0 million anticipated total to be spent during 2012, on renovations and other non-recurring capital expenditures at the five hotels acquired during 2011 and three hotels acquired during the first 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 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. 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 March 31, 2012, we had approximately $277.1 million in outstanding indebtedness secured by mortgages on 65 hotels and eight hotels unencumbered by mortgage debt, including hotels containing 432 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 preferred stock from indebtedness. During the first quarter 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 April 29, 2014, with an option to extend for one additional year if we meet certain requirements. The terms of the credit facility, as amended, are described in the summary below.

Outstanding borrowings on the 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) 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 March 31, 2012, 25 hotel properties are included in the borrowing base and the maximum amount of borrowing permitted by the terms of the credit facility is approximately $93.9 million, of which approximately $50.5 million is available to borrow as of March 31, 2012.

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, 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. The LIBOR margin ranges from 2.50% to 3.50%, and the base rate margin ranges from 1.50% to 2.50%.

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, LLC, which we formed in connection with the credit facility to wholly own the TRS lessees that lease each of the borrowing base assets. The borrowing base assets are as follows:

●	SpringHill Suites, Little Rock, AR	●	Holiday Inn Express, Emporia, KS
●	Fairfield Inn, Denver, CO	●	AmericInn, Salina, KS
●	Hampton Inn, Fort Collins, CO	●	Fairfield Inn, Salina, KS
●	Staybridge Suites, Glendale, CO	●	Fairfield Inn, Baton Rouge, LA
●	AmericInn, Golden, CO	●	SpringHill Suites, Baton Rouge, LA

●	Hampton Inn, Boise, ID	●	Homewood Suites, Ridgeland, MS
●	AmericInn, Twin Falls, ID	●	Hampton Inn, Medford, OR
●	Hampton Inn, Twin Falls, ID	●	SpringHill Suites, Nashville, TN
●	Residence Inn, Fort Wayne, IN	●	Hampton Inn, Provo, UT
●	Hilton Garden Inn, Duluth, GA	●	Fairfield Inn, Bellevue, WA
●	Holiday Inn, Duluth, GA	●	Fairfield Inn, Spokane, WA
●	Fairfield Inn, Emporia, KS

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.

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 6.75:1.00 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.

As of May 10, 2012, we have $49.4 million outstanding under the credit facility, and a total remaining availability of $44.5 million.

Other Outstanding Indebtedness

As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately $277.1 million in outstanding indebtedness, including approximately $43.4 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility, and eight hotels unencumbered by mortgage debt. As of May 10, 2012, we have approximately $282.2 million in outstanding indebtedness, including approximately $49.4 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility, and eight hotels unencumbered by mortgage debt, including hotels with 432 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.

(11)

(12)	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%.

(13)

On February 13, 2012, we closed on the consolidation and refinance of our four loans with ING Life Insurance and Annuity, which four loans collectively had an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $69.5 million as of December 31, 2011. The loans were consolidated into a single term loan with a principal balance of $67.5 million, maturity date of March 1, 2032, amortized over 20 years and bearing an annual interest rate of 6.10%, collateralized by first mortgage liens on16 properties containing 1,639 guestrooms. 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. Pursuant to the consolidation, the mortgages on the Courtyard by Marriott, Missoula, MT and the Courtyard by Marriott, Memphis, TN were released and new mortgages were taken on the Country Inn & Suites and the Holiday Inn Express in Charleston, West Virginia.

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

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 March 31, 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)	$	325.3	$	23.2	$	113.3	$	71.0	$	117.8
Operating Lease obligations		37.4		0.4		0.9		1.0		35.1
Total	$	362.7	$	23.6	$	114.2	$	72.0	$	152.9

(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.

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.

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. On May 4, 2012, we entered into contractual arrangements to hedge against interest rate increases on approximately $29.5 million of our outstanding variable-rate indebtedness.

As of March 31, 2012, approximately 57.1%, or approximately $158.3 million, of our debt bore fixed interest rates and approximately 42.9%, or approximately $118.8 million bore variable interest rates. 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 $0.5 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 $14.0 million of our long-term debt will mature during the next 12 months, which amount includes $6.2 million amortizing principal paid in regular monthly payments and $7.8 million of balloon payments on our existing debt as the loans mature. Of the $7.8 million of maturing loans, approximately $1.5 million bears fixed interest rates and $6.3 million bears variable interest rates.
