ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

We acquired four apartment communities during the nine months ended September 30, 2004, one apartment community on October 14, 2004 and we expect to acquire another apartment community on November 29, 2004. We are filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to satisfy the requirement of Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission that relates to the acquisition of one or more properties, which in the aggregate are significant to the registrant. None of the properties acquired are individually significant according to Rule 3-14. This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to provide certain historical and pro forma financial information related to these acquisitions because we will be filing a proxy statement in connection with our previously-announced merger with and into Camden Summit, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Camden Property Trust.

On May 27, 2004, we acquired Summit Stonecrest (formerly Alta Haven Apartments), a 306 apartment home community located in Charlotte, North Carolina, for $28.0 million. Consideration paid for this community was cash of $9.6 million and the assumption of a $19.7 million mortgage, which had a fair market value of $18.4 million on the date of acquisition. The assumed mortgage has a stated interest rate of 4.18% and matures on September 1, 2012. The property was 86.9% occupied as of January 1, 2003, 87.9% occupied as of December 31, 2003 and 89.9% occupied as of May 26, 2004.

On June 14, 2004, we acquired Summit South End Square (formerly Fairfield South End Square), a 299 apartment home community located in Charlotte, North Carolina, for $33.5 million in cash. The property was 0.0% occupied as of January 1, 2003, 68.0% occupied as of December 31, 2003 and 92.6% occupied as of June 13, 2004.

On September 2, 2004, we acquired Summit Doral Villas (formerly Centergate Doral), a 232 apartment home community located in Miami, Florida for $43.3 million. Consideration paid for this community was cash of $18.4 million and the assumption of a $21.1 million mortgage, which had a fair market value of $24.9 million on the date of acquisition. The assumed mortgage has a stated interest rate of 6.82% and matures on January 1, 2011.  The property was 93.5% occupied as of January 1, 2003, 91.7% occupied as of December 31, 2003 and 94.4% occupied as of September 2, 2004.

On September 30, 2004, we acquired Summit Midtown (formerly Highlands on Ponce), a 296 apartment home community located in Atlanta, Georgia, for $44.8 million in cash. The residential units were 90.2% occupied as of January 1, 2003, 92.6% occupied as of December 31, 2003 and 92.6% occupied as of September 29, 2004. The retail space was 89.6% occupied as of January 1, 2003 and 100.0% occupied as of both December 31, 2003 and September 29, 2004.

On October 14, 2004, we acquired Summit Fallsgrove (formerly Jefferson at Thomas Farm), a 268 apartment home community located in Rockville, Maryland, for $54.5 million in cash.  The property was 0.0% occuped at both January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2003 and was 65.3% occupied as of October 13, 2004.

On November 29, 2004, we expect to acquire Charlotte Cotton Mills Apartment Building, a 180 apartment home community located in Charlotte, North Carolina, for $23.8 million in cash. The property was 38.3% occupied as of January 1, 2003, 94.4% occupied as of December 31, 2003 and 97.2% occupied as of September 30, 2004.

As a result of the transactions discussed above, we are providing historical and pro forma financial information for the year ended December 31, 2003 and for certain interim periods for a majority of the acquisitions described above in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND
PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION


The following historical financial statements and pro forma financial information are presented in accordance with Rule 3-14 and Article 11, respectively, of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The historical financial statements have been audited only for certain properties acquired. With respect to Summit Stonecrest, Summit South End Square, Summit Midtown and Charlotte Cotton Mills Apartment Building, the historical Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses has been audited only for the most recent fiscal year as these transactions did not involve a related party and the registrant, after reasonable inquiry, is not aware of any material factors related to the acquired properties not otherwise disclosed that would cause the reported financial information to not be necessarily indicative of future operating results. In accordance with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission, certain unaudited financial information for the communities acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the community acquired on October 14, 2004 and the community expected to be acquired on November 29, 2004 that are not individually significant has also been presented. In addition, as the properties will be directly or indirectly owned by entities that elect or have elected to be treated as REITs for Federal income tax purposes, a presentation of estimated taxable operating results is not applicable.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Summit Properties Inc:
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses (the “Statement”) of Summit Stonecrest (formerly Alta Haven Apartments) (the “Property”) for the year ended December 31, 2003. The Statement is the responsibility of the Property’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Statement based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Statement. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Statement was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in Form 8-K of Summit Properties Inc.). Material amounts, as described in note 1 to the Statement that would not be directly attributable to those resulting from future operations of the property are excluded and the Statement is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Property’s revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the Statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses, as described in note 1 to the Statement, of Summit Stonecrest for the year ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND THE PERIOD FROM
 JANUARY 1, 2004 THROUGH MAY 26, 2004 (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS FOR PRESENTATION

The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses (the “Statements”) relate to Summit Stonecrest (formerly Alta Haven Apartments), a 306 unit apartment community located in Charlotte, NC.

These Statements are prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a result of the acquisition of Summit Stonecrest by Summit Properties Inc. (the “Company”) on May 27, 2004. Rule 3-14 requires certain information with respect to the operations of real estate assets acquired to be included in certain filings with the SEC. The Statements include the historical revenues of Summit Stonecrest and certain operating expenses, excluding items not comparable to the operations of the property under the Company’s ownership, including depreciation, amortization, interest expense, and management fees. The Company is a real estate investment trust that operates, develops and acquires luxury apartment communities in select neighborhoods throughout the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic United States.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue recognition - Summit Stonecrest leases its apartment homes under operating leases with terms of generally one year or less. Rental revenue is recognized on the accrual basis of accounting as earned, which is not materially different from revenue recognition on a straight-line basis.

Advertising costs - Summit Stonecrest expenses advertising costs as incurred and expensed $58,600 and $22,300 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the period from January 1, 2004 through May 26, 2004, respectively.

Repairs and maintenance - The cost of items such as landscaping maintenance, interior painting and cleaning and supplies used in such activities as well as the cost of all major maintenance activities are expensed as incurred and are not accrued for in advance.

Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Interim information - The accompanying Statement for the period from January 1, 2004 through May 26, 2004 is unaudited; however it has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, it does not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation for the interim period have been included. The results for the interim period from January 1, 2004 through May 26, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Amounts capitalized were based on the percentage of units completed. During 2003, $74,000 was capitalized related to real estate taxes.

Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the respective leases.

Advertising costs - Summit Midtown expenses advertising costs as incurred and expensed $81,000 and $49,600 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the period from January 1, 2004 through September 29, 2004, respectively.

Repairs and maintenance - The cost of items such as landscaping maintenance, interior painting and cleaning and supplies used in such activities as well as the cost of all major maintenance activities are expensed as incurred and are not accrued for in advance.

Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Interim information - The accompanying Statement for the period from January 1, 2004 through September 29, 2004 is unaudited; however it has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, it does not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation for the interim period have been included. The results for the interim period from January 1, 2004 through September 29, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Summit Properties Inc:
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses (the “Statement”) of Charlotte Cotton Mills Apartment Building (the “Property”) for the year ended December 31, 2003. The Statement is the responsibility of the Property’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Statement based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Statement. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Statement was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in Form 8-K of Summit Properties Inc.). Material amounts, as described in note 1 to the Statement that would not be directly attributable to those resulting from future operations of the property are excluded and the Statement is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Property’s revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the Statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses, as described in note 1 to the Statement, of Charlotte Cotton Mills Apartment Building for the year ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 2004     THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS FOR PRESENTATION

The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses (the “Statements”) relate to Charlotte Cotton Mills Apartment Building (“Cotton Mills”), a 180 unit apartment community located in Charlotte, NC.

These Statements are prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a result of the anticipated acquisition of Cotton Mills by Summit Properties Inc. (the “Company”) on November 29, 2004. Rule 3-14 requires certain information with respect to the operations of real estate assets acquired to be included in certain filings with the SEC. The Statements include the historical revenues of Cotton Mills and certain operating expenses, excluding items not comparable to the future operations of the property under the Company’s ownership, including depreciation, amortization, interest expense, and management fees. The Company is a real estate investment trust that operates, develops and acquires luxury apartment communities in select neighborhoods throughout the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic United States.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue recognition -Cotton Mills leases its apartment homes under operating leases with terms of generally one year or less. Rental revenue is recognized on the accrual basis of accounting as earned, which is not materially different from revenue recognition on a straight-line basis.

Advertising costs -Cotton Mills expenses advertising costs as incurred and expensed $67,000 and $28,100 during the year ended December 31, 2003 and the period from January 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004, respectively.

Repairs and maintenance - The cost of items such as landscaping maintenance, interior painting and cleaning and supplies used in such activities as well as the cost of all major maintenance activities are expensed as incurred and are not accrued for in advance.

Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Interim information - The accompanying Statement for the period from January 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004 is unaudited; however it has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, it does not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation for the interim period have been included. The results for the interim period from January 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
