I agree with the answers of my co-posters, but I would like to add :
Sign-off the document. It is a must for any summary reports where approval/rjection of the participants has to been taken.

Also along with number of defects, you should also represent how many defects are still in open state if any. How many were high severity defects and so on.

In Summary report we also need to mention the details of functionality (that is new or existing features). Platforms on which testing is being carried on. Platforms may include hardware and software versions such as OS, browsers if web application, 3rd party tools used. Details of the test cases executed manually or via automated scripts using tools such as QTP.
