2. MERGER

On July 8, 2013, our predecessor, PMC Commercial, entered into a merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") with CIM Urban REIT, LLC ("CIM Urban REIT") and subsidiaries of the respective parties. CIM Urban REIT was a private commercial REIT and was the owner of CIM Urban Partners, LP ("CIM Urban"). The transaction (the "Merger") was completed on March 11, 2014 (the "Acquisition Date").

The Merger Agreement provided for a business combination between PMC Commercial and CIM Urban. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, PMC Commercial issued 4,400,000 shares of Common Stock and 65,028,571 shares of preferred stock. Each share of preferred stock converted into 1.4 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for the one-for-five reverse stock split) in April 2014, resulting in the issuance of approximately 91,039,999 shares of Common Stock. This represented approximately 97.8% of PMC Commercial's outstanding stock on the Acquisition Date.

All Common Stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger remained outstanding following the Acquisition Date. In addition, stockholders of record at the close of the business day prior to the Acquisition Date received a special cash dividend of $27.50 per share of Common Stock, which was paid on March 25, 2014.

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting with CIM Urban considered to be the accounting acquirer based upon the terms of the Merger Agreement. Based on the determination that CIM Urban was the accounting acquirer in the transaction, CIM Urban allocated the purchase price to the fair value of PMC Commercial's assets and liabilities as of the Acquisition Date.

Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements (1) include the historical financial information for CIM Urban for all periods presented, (2) include the assets and liabilities of PMC Commercial acquired on March 11, 2014 and still owned or held by us in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 and (3) include the results of PMC Commercial's operations and cash flows in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and cash flows for the period from the Acquisition Date through September 30, 2014. The equity of CIM Commercial is the historical equity of CIM Urban retroactively restated to reflect the number of shares of stock issued by PMC Commercial pursuant to the Merger Agreement. In connection with the reverse acquisition, for purposes of presenting equity for CIM Commercial, the historical stockholders of PMC Commercial were deemed to have been issued 2,119,244 shares of Common Stock (2,226,509 shares of Common Stock, less 107,265 shares of treasury stock) on the Acquisition Date.

Consideration Transferred—The fair value of the consideration transferred in the reverse acquisition is determined based on the number of shares of stock the accounting acquirer would have to issue to the stockholders of the accounting acquiree in order to provide the same ratio of ownership in the combined entity following the completion of the Merger, and was determined to be the outstanding stock of PMC Commercial as of the Acquisition Date. The fair value of the consideration transferred was based on the most reliable measure, which was determined to be the market price of PMC Commercial stock as of the Acquisition Date. The computation of the fair value of the consideration transferred, based on the market price of PMC Commercial stock on the Acquisition Date, is as follows:

	(in thousands, except per share data)
PMC Commercial common stock outstanding		2,119
Equity consideration price per share of common stock	$	21.05

Fair value of the equity consideration		44,610
Payment in cash—special dividend		58,279

Total purchase price	$	102,889

Purchase Price Allocation—As CIM Urban was the accounting acquirer in the business combination, it has allocated the purchase price to PMC Commercial's individually identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the Acquisition Date. A bargain purchase gain was recorded as of the Acquisition Date in the amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired over the total purchase price.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price:

	(in thousands)
Assets
Cash and cash equivalents	$	3,185
Loans receivable		207,140
Accounts receivable and interest receivable		755
Other assets		5,396
Intangible assets		2,957

Total assets acquired		219,433

Liabilities
Debt		99,849
Accounts payable and accrued expenses		7,396
Special dividend liability and dividend payable		59,286
Other liabilities		3,374

Total liabilities assumed		169,905

Net identifiable assets acquired		49,528
Bargain purchase gain		(4,918	)

Net purchase price	$	44,610
