Please oh please, read your code again!
You are here to obtain help and this is the second time this code won't work.
Don has already told you many faults now you have others...
Code:
BASE_PATH=/home/tmp
FILENAME=summary.txt==>3 files 
These are exist in current location and wait for 3rd file to arrive  

PASSIVELBS_xxx_1
PASSIVELBS_xxx_2

summary=`cat ${BASE_PATH}/${FILENAME}|wc -l`
check=`ls -l PASSIVELBS_xxx_*|wc -l`
while [ $summary != $check ];do 
echo "Summary files are $summary"
echo "Checksum files are $check"
echo "Files are not matching with checksum"
exit 1

Longhand, OSX 10.7.5, default bash terminal...

while [ $summary != $check ];do 
echo "Summary files are $summary"
echo "Checksum files are $check"
echo "Files are not matching with checksum"
exit 1
AMIGA:amiga~/Desktop/Text> 
AMIGA:amiga~/Desktop/Text> 
AMIGA:amiga~/Desktop/Text> ./junk.txt
./junk.txt: line 2: files: command not found
./junk.txt: line 3: These: command not found
./junk.txt: line 5: PASSIVELBS_xxx_1: command not found
./junk.txt: line 6: PASSIVELBS_xxx_2: command not found
cat: /home/tmp/: No such file or directory
ls: PASSIVELBS_xxx_*: No such file or directory
./junk.txt: line 15: syntax error: unexpected end of file
AMIGA:amiga~/Desktop/Text> _

As there is no line 15 then you still have an error that Don has already told you about!
Please be accurate as it helps us to help you.
