These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Summit Hotel Properties, LLC and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2010

NOTE 1 - PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

Summit Hotel Properties, LLC, “the Company”, (a South Dakota limited liability company) was organized January 8, 2004, and is engaged in the business of developing, owning and operating hotel properties.

The Company has agreements for the use of various trade names, trademarks and service marks which include Carlson Hospitality, Choice Hotels International, Hilton Hotel Corporation, Intercontinental Hotels Group, Hyatt Hotel Corporation and Marriott International. The Company also owns and operates one independent non-franchised hotel. As of June 30, 2010, the Company owned and managed 65 hotels, representing approximately 6,533 rooms located in 19 states. The Company’s hotel properties are located throughout various regions of the United States. Hotels operating in any given region are potentially susceptible to adverse economic and competitive conditions as well as unique trends associated with that particular region. The potential adverse affect of such conditions on the Company’s business, financial position, and results of its operations is mitigated due to the diversified locations of the Company’s properties. The Company has only one operating segment.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The Company is a 49% owner and the primary beneficiary of Summit Group of Scottsdale, AZ, LLC (“Scottsdale”), which qualifies as a variable interest entity. Accordingly, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of Scottsdale have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The entity was formed for the purpose of purchasing two hotel properties in Scottsdale, AZ and its activities primarily relate to owning and operating those two hotel properties. As of June 30, 2010 and for the six months then ended, Scottsdale had assets of $20,573,594, liabilities of $14,419,554, revenues of $3,595,093, and expenses of $2,918,698. Included in the consolidated assets are assets as of June 30, 2010 totaling $18,288,832 which represent collateral for obligations of Scottsdale. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss is $6,154,040. Apart from that amount, creditors and the beneficial holders of Scottsdale have no recourse to the assets or general credit of the Company. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is a Class A Member and receives a 10% priority distribution on its capital contribution before distributions to other classes. Class A members may also receive additional operating distributions based on their Sharing Ratio. These additional distributions are determined by the managing member and are based on excess cash from operations after normal operating expenses, loan payments, priority distributions, and reserves. Any income generated by the LLC is first allocated to Class A members up to the 10% priority return.

The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation. Topic 810 requires a qualitative rather than a quantitative analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a VIE for consolidation purposes. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the enterprise that has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and also has the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The provisions of Topic 810 were effective January 1, 2010.

SUMMIT HOTEL PROPERTIES, LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2010

Beginning on October 1, 2004, the Company considered its interest in Summit Group of Scottsdale, AZ, LLC a VIE in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. As per the provisions of Topic 810, the Company’s interest in the VIE has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company is the 100% owner of several special purpose entities which were established due to various lending requirements. These entities include Summit Hospitality I, LLC; Summit Hospitality II, LLC; Summit Hospitality III, LLC; Summit Hospitality IV, LLC; and Summit Hospitality V, LLC. All assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of these wholly-owned subsidiaries are reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, cash on deposit may exceed the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. Due to the financial institution crisis and economic downturn that occurred in the second half of 2008, management has assessed the risks of each of the financial institutions where the Company has deposits in excess of insured limits and believes the risk of loss to still be minimal.

Receivables and Credit Policies

Trade receivables are uncollateralized customer obligations resulting from the rental of hotel rooms and the sales of food, beverage, catering and banquet services due under normal trade terms requiring payment upon receipt of the invoice. Trade receivables are stated at the amount billed to the customer and do not accrue interest. Customer account balances with invoices dated over 60 days old are considered delinquent. Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices.

The Company reviews the collectability of receivables monthly. A provision for losses on receivables is determined on the basis of previous loss experience and current economic conditions. Since there were no material uncollectible receivables, no allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded as of June 30, 2010. The Company incurred bad debt expense of $19,596 for six months ended June 30, 2010.

Property and Equipment

Buildings and major improvements are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over 27 to 40 years, the estimated useful lives of the assets. Hotel equipment, furniture and fixtures are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets of 2 to 15 years. The Company periodically re-evaluates fixed asset lives based on current assessments of remaining utilization that may result in changes in estimated useful lives. Such changes are accounted for prospectively and will increase or decrease depreciation expense. Depreciation expense from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $13,521,822. Expenditures that materially extend a property’s life are capitalized. These costs may include hotel refurbishment, renovation and remodeling expenditures. Normal maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. When depreciable property is retired or disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in current operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2010

Capitalized Development and Interest Costs

The Company capitalizes all hotel development costs and other direct overhead costs related to the purchase and construction of hotels. Additionally, the Company capitalizes the interest costs associated with constructing new hotels. Capitalized development, direct overhead and interest are depreciated over the estimated lives of the respective assets. Organization and start-up costs are expensed as incurred. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company capitalized interest of $0.

Assets Held for Sale

Properties are classified as other noncurrent assets when management determines that they are excess and intends to list them for sale. These assets are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell and consist of land and related improvements at June 30, 2010. Properties are classified as assets held for sale when they are under contract for sale, or otherwise probable that they will be sold within the next twelve months.

Long-Lived Assets and Impairment

The Company applies 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. 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 and recorded at the lower of its 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 the Company’s ongoing operations.

The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-term assets in relation to historical results, current business conditions and trends to identify potential situations in which the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable. If such reviews indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable, the Company would estimate the undiscounted sum of the expected cash flows of such assets to determine if such sum is less than the carrying value of such assets to ascertain if an impairment exists. If an impairment exists, the Company would determine the fair value by using quoted market prices, if available for such assets, or if quoted market prices are not available, the Company would discount the expected future cash flows of such assets and adjust the carrying amount to fair value.

Deferred Charges

These assets are carried at cost and consist of deferred financing fees and initial franchise fees. Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized on the straight-line method over the term of the related debt, which approximates the interest method. Initial franchise fees are capitalized and amortized over the term of the franchise agreement using the straight-line method. Amortization expense from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $819,261.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2010

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of certain funds maintained in escrow for property taxes, insurance and certain capital expenditures. Funds may be disbursed from the account upon proof of expenditures and approval from the lenders.

Income Taxes

Summit Hotel Properties, LLC is a limited liability company and, as such, all federal taxable income of the limited liability company flows through and is taxable to the members of the Company. The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, on January 1, 2009. The implementation of this standard had no impact on the financial statements. As of both the date of adoption and as of June 30, 2010, there were no unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company will recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense if incurred. The Company is no longer subject to Federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2006.

The Company has elected to pay state income taxes at the Company level in all of the states in which it does business. The Company’s estimated state income tax expenses at current statutory rates were $228,185 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Members’ Capital Contributions and Profit and Loss Allocations

The Company is organized as a limited liability company and can issue to its members Class A, Class A-1, Class B and Class C units.

Approximate sharing ratios for the six months ended June 30, 2010 are as follows:

Class A	42	%
Class A-1	7
Class B	7
Class C	44

	100	%

The limited liability company operating agreement provides that net profits are allocated to cover a 10% priority return to Class A members, 8% priority return to Class A-1 members, then the balance is allocated based on sharing ratios. Net losses are allocated to members based on sharing ratios.

These members receive an 8-10% priority return on their capital contributions before distributions to other classes. Class A and A-1 members may also receive additional operating distributions based on their Sharing Ratio. These additional distributions are determined by the managing member and are based on excess cash from operations after normal operating expenses, loan payments, priority distributions, and reserves. Class A and A-1 members have voting rights on creation of new classes of membership, amendments to the Articles of Organization, and dissolution of the Company. Class B members do not have voting rights and receive distributions in accordance with their Sharing Ratio after Class A and A-1 members have received their priority return. The Class C member is The Summit Group, Inc. (SGI), a related party. SGI has limited voting rights, in addition to the right to appoint members to the Board. SGI, however, has significant authority to manage the hotel properties and acts as the Company’s Manager. SGI receives distributions in accordance with its Sharing Ratio after Class A and A-1 members have received their priority return.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2010

Costs paid for syndication are charged directly to equity against the proceeds raised. The Company’s operating agreement contains extensive restrictions on the transfer of membership interests. In addition, the transferability of membership interests is restricted by federal and state law. The membership interests may not be offered, sold, transferred, pledged, or hypothecated to any person without the consent of The Summit Group, Inc., a related party and 44% owner of the Company through its holding of 57.6% and 100% of the outstanding Class B and Class C units, respectively.

Earnings per Capital Unit

For purposes of calculating basic earnings per capital unit, capital units issued by the Company are considered outstanding on the effective date of issue and are based on a $100,000 capital unit.

Noncontrolling Interests

Summit Group of Scottsdale, AZ, LLC has made distributions to noncontrolling members in excess of income allocations to those members. Their excess is reflected in the consolidated balance sheet.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company grants credit to qualified customers generally without collateral, in the form of accounts receivable. The Company believes its risk of loss is minimal due to its periodic evaluations of the credit worthiness of the customers.

Advertising and Marketing Costs

The Company expenses all advertising and marketing costs as they are incurred. Total costs for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $4,769,629. Of this total cost, $397,812 represented general advertising expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and $4,371,817 represented national media fees required by the hotel franchise agreements for the six months ended June 30, 2010. These costs are reported as components of general, selling and administrative costs in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Sales Taxes

The Company has customers in states and municipalities in which those governmental units impose a sales tax on certain sales. The Company collects those sales taxes from its customers and remits the entire amount to the various governmental units. The Company’s accounting policy is to exclude the tax collected and remitted from revenues.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s hotel revenues are derived from room rentals and other sources, such as charges to guests for long-distance telephone service, fax machine use, movie and vending commissions, meeting and banquet room revenue, restaurant and bar revenue, and parking and laundry services. The Company recognizes hotel revenue on a daily basis based on an agreed upon daily rate after the guest has stayed at one of its hotels for a day, used its lodging facilities and received related lodging services and amenities. The Company believes that the credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited, because approximately 90% of the Company’s revenue is related to credit card transactions, which are typically reimbursed within 2-3 days. Reserves for any uncollectible accounts, if material, are established for accounts that age beyond a predetermined acceptable period. The Company had not recorded any such reserves at June 30, 2010.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2010

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“SFAS No. 167”), codified under Topic 810. Topic 810 requires a qualitative rather than a quantitative analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a VIE for consolidation purposes. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the enterprise that has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and also has the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The provisions of Topic 810 were effective January 1, 2010. The adoption of Topic 810 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an update (ASU No. 2010-06) to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to improve disclosure requirements regarding transfers, classes of assets and liabilities, and inputs and valuation techniques. This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The Company adopted this ASC update on January 1, 2010, and it had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Future Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

Certain provisions of ASU No. 2010-06 to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, related to separate line items for all purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of financial instruments valued using Level 3 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company does not believe that this adoption will have a material impact on the financial statements or disclosures.

Fair Value

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Topic 820 are described below:

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or the liability; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

SUMMIT HOTEL PROPERTIES, LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2010

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonable available.

Our estimates of the fair value of financial instruments as of June 30, 2010 were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods, including discounted cash flow analysis. 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 Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable, and debt obligations. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

At June 30, 2010, the Company’s long-term debt obligations consisted of fixed and variable rate debt that had a carrying value of $424,596,222 and a fair value, based on current market interest rates of $407,576,082. The Company has classified their long-term debt instruments as Level 2 in the hierarchy of FASB ASC 820 described above. The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates consistent with the maturity of the debt obligation with similar terms.

NOTE 4 - ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

As a part of regular policy, the Company periodically reviews 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.

The Company performed a comprehensive review of its investment strategy and of its existing hotel portfolio to identify properties which the Company believes are either non-core or no longer complement the business. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had no hotels held for sale. The Company has committed to sell eight parcels of land that were originally purchased for development and thus, those parcels of land are recorded as assets held for sale as of June 30, 2010.

Assets held for sale at June 30, 2010 are comprised of the following:

Land

23,242,004

NOTE 5 - OTHER NONCURRENT ASSETS

Other noncurrent assets at June 30, 2010 are comprised of the following:

Prepaid land lease	$	3,611,895
Seller financed notes receivable		431,337

	$	4,043,232

NOTE 6 - ACQUISITIONS

The Company accounts for its acquisitions of hotels as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. The Company allocates the cost of the acquired entity to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. To determine fair value of the various components acquired, the Company engages independent valuation consultants and other third-party real-estate appraisals as necessary. The Company allocates the purchase price of the acquired property based upon the relative fair values of the various components.
