NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2016, AND DECEMBER 31, 2015, AND
FOR THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2016 AND 2015 (UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

        CIM Commercial Trust Corporation ("CIM Commercial" or the "Company") or together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, (which, together with CIM Commercial, may be referred to as "we," "us" or "our") primarily invests in, owns, and operates Class A and creative office investments in vibrant and improving urban communities throughout the United States. These communities are located in areas that include traditional downtown areas and suburban main streets, which have high barriers-to-entry, high population density, improving demographic trends and a propensity for growth. We also generate income from the yield and other related fee income earned on our investments from our lending activities. As discussed in Note 6, the lending segment is held for sale at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. We were originally organized in 1993 as PMC Commercial Trust ("PMC Commercial"), a Texas real estate investment trust.

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

        Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, an affiliate of CIM REIT received 4,400,000 shares of newly-issued PMC Commercial Common Stock ("Common Stock") and approximately 65,000,000 shares of newly-issued PMC Commercial preferred stock. Following the Merger and subsequent increase in our authorized number of shares, each share of preferred stock was converted into 1.4 shares of PMC Commercial Common Stock, resulting in the issuance of 95,440,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate in connection with the Merger, representing approximately 97.8% of PMC Commercial's outstanding shares of Common Stock.

        On April 28, 2014, PMC Commercial's charter was amended to increase the authorized shares of stock of PMC Commercial from 100,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 shares and PMC Commercial changed its state of incorporation (the "Reincorporation") from Texas to Maryland by means of a merger of PMC Commercial with and into a newly formed, wholly-owned Maryland corporation subsidiary. Also, on April 28, 2014, we changed our name from "PMC Commercial Trust" to "CIM Commercial Trust Corporation." Our Common Stock is currently traded on the NASDAQ Global Market (symbol "CMCT").

        On April 28, 2014, we filed Articles of Amendment (the "Reverse Split Amendment") to effectuate a one-for-five reverse stock split of the Common Stock, effective April 29, 2014. Pursuant to the reverse stock split, each five shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split were converted into one share of Common Stock. Fractional shares of Common Stock were not issued as a result of the reverse stock split; instead, holders of pre-split shares of Common Stock who otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fractional share of Common Stock received an amount in cash equal to the product of the fraction of a share multiplied by the closing price of the Common Stock (as adjusted for the one-for-five reverse stock

split). In connection with and immediately following the filing of the Reverse Split Amendment, we filed Articles of Amendment (the "Par Value Amendment") to decrease the par value of the Common Stock issued and outstanding to $0.001 per share, effective April 29, 2014, subsequent to the effective time of the Reverse Split Amendment. All per share and outstanding share information has been presented to reflect the reverse stock split.

        CIM Commercial has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        For more information regarding our significant accounting policies and estimates, please refer to "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" contained in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 15, 2016.

        Interim Financial Information—The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of CIM Commercial have been prepared by our management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Certain information and note disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying financial information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of our management, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. Our accompanying interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2016.

        Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CIM Commercial and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

        Investments in Real Estate—Real estate acquisitions are recorded at cost as of the acquisition date. Costs related to the acquisition of properties are expensed as incurred. Investments in real estate are stated at depreciated cost. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives as follows:

Buildings and improvements	15 - 40 years
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment	3 - 5 years
Tenant improvements	Shorter of the useful lives or the terms of the related leases

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

AS OF MARCH 31, 2016, AND DECEMBER 31, 2015, AND
FOR THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2016 AND 2015 (UNAUDITED)

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

        Investments in real estate are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. The estimated fair value of the asset group identified for step two of the impairment testing under GAAP is based on either the income approach with market discount rate, terminal capitalization rate and rental rate assumptions being most critical, or on the sales comparison approach to similar properties. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

        Derivative Financial Instruments—As part of risk management and operational strategies, from time to time, we may enter into derivative contracts with various counterparties. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their estimated fair value. On the date that we enter into a derivative contract, we designate the derivative as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, a foreign currency fair value or cash flow hedge, a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or a trading or non-hedging instrument.

        Changes in the estimated fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, to the extent that the hedge is effective, are initially recorded in other comprehensive income ("OCI"), and are subsequently reclassified into earnings as a component of interest expense when the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction affects earnings (e.g., when periodic settlements of a variable-rate asset or liability are recorded in earnings). Any hedge ineffectiveness (which represents the amount by which the changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative differ from the variability in the cash flows of the forecasted transaction) is recognized in current-period earnings as a component of interest expense. When an interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge no longer qualifies for hedge accounting, we recognize changes in estimated fair value of the hedge previously deferred to accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"), along with any changes in estimated fair value occurring thereafter, through earnings. We classify cash flows from interest rate swap agreements as net cash provided from operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows as our accounting policy is to present the cash flows from the hedging instruments in the same category in the consolidated statements of cash flows as the category for the cash flows from the hedged items. See Note 11 for disclosures about our derivative financial instruments and hedging activities.

        Loans Receivable—Our loans receivable included in assets held for sale are carried at their unamortized principal balance less unamortized acquisition discounts and premiums, retained loan discounts and loan loss reserves. For loans originated under the Small Business Administration's

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

AS OF MARCH 31, 2016, AND DECEMBER 31, 2015, AND
FOR THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2016 AND 2015 (UNAUDITED)

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

("SBA") 7(a) Guaranteed Loan Program ("SBA 7(a) Program"), we sell the portion of the loan that is guaranteed by the SBA. Upon sale of the SBA guaranteed portion of the loans, which are accounted for as sales, the unguaranteed portion of the loan retained by us is valued on a fair value basis and a discount (the "Retained Loan Discount") is recorded as a reduction in basis of the retained portion of the loan.

        At the Acquisition Date, the carrying value of our loans was adjusted to estimated fair value and acquisition discounts of $33,907,000 were recorded, which are being accreted to interest and other income, included in income from operations of assets held for sale, using the effective interest method. We sold substantially all of our commercial mortgage loans with unamortized acquisition discounts of $15,951,000 to an unrelated third party in December 2015 (see Note 6). Acquisition discounts of $2,931,000 remained as of March 31, 2016 which have not yet been accreted to income.

        A loan receivable is generally classified as non-accrual (a "Non-Accrual Loan") if (i) it is past due as to payment of principal or interest for a period of 60 days or more, (ii) any portion of the loan is classified as doubtful or is charged-off or (iii) the repayment in full of the principal and/or interest is in doubt. Generally, loans are charged-off when management determines that we will be unable to collect any remaining amounts due under the loan agreement, either through liquidation of collateral or other means. Interest income, included in discontinued operations, on a Non-Accrual Loan is recognized on either the cash basis or the cost recovery basis.

        On a quarterly basis, and more frequently if indicators exist, we evaluate the collectability of our loans receivable. Our evaluation of collectability involves judgment, estimates, and a review of the ability of the borrower to make principal and interest payments, the underlying collateral and the borrowers' business models and future operations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 450-20, Contingencies—Loss Contingencies, and ASC 310-10, Receivables. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we recorded a net recovery of $243,000 and an impairment of $101,000 on our loans receivable, respectively. We establish a general loan loss reserve when available information indicates that it is probable a loss has occurred based on the carrying value of the portfolio and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required in determining the general loan loss reserve, including estimates of the likelihood of default and the estimated fair value of the collateral. The general loan loss reserve includes those loans, which may have negative characteristics which have not yet become known to us. In addition to the reserves established on loans not considered impaired that have been evaluated under a specific evaluation, we establish the general loan loss reserve using a consistent methodology to determine a loss percentage to be applied to loan balances. These loss percentages are based on many factors, primarily cumulative and recent loss history and general economic conditions.

        Deferred Rent Receivable and Charges—Deferred rent receivable and charges consist of deferred rent, deferred leasing costs, and other deferred charges. Deferred rent receivable is $59,936,000 and $58,612,000 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Deferred leasing costs, which represent lease commissions and other direct costs associated with the acquisition of tenants, are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Deferred leasing costs of $62,782,000 and $59,225,000 are presented net of accumulated amortization of $22,198,000 and

$20,612,000 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Other deferred charges are $40,000 and $0 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

        Noncontrolling Interests—Noncontrolling interests represent the interests in various properties owned by third parties.

        Restricted Cash—Our mortgage loan and hotel management agreements provide for depositing cash into restricted accounts reserved for property taxes, insurance, and capital expenditures. Restricted cash also includes cash proceeds from dispositions that are temporarily held at qualified intermediaries for purposes of facilitating like-kind exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 1031 Exchange"), which allows the gain on sale of real estate to be deferred for income tax purposes. As of March 31, 2016, the net proceeds of $42,782,000 from the sale of a hotel property in February 2016 (see Note 3) held at a qualified intermediary in anticipation of a Section 1031 Exchange is included in restricted cash.

        Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations—We classify assets as held for sale, if material, when they meet the necessary criteria, which include: a) management commits to and actively embarks upon a plan to sell the assets, b) the assets to be sold are available for immediate sale in their present condition, c) the sale is expected to be completed within one year under terms usual and customary for such sales and d) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. We believe that we meet these criteria when the plan for sale has been approved by our board of directors (the "Board of Directors"), there are no known significant contingencies related to the sale and management believes it is probable that the sale will be completed within one year.

        Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less cost to sell. In addition, if we were to determine that the asset disposal associated with assets held for sale or disposed of represents a strategic shift, the revenues, expenses and net gain (loss) on dispositions would be recorded in discontinued operations for all periods presented through the date of the applicable disposition.

        Consolidation Considerations for Our Investments in Real Estate—ASC 810-10, Consolidation, addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling interest in an entity through means other than voting rights that would require the entity to be consolidated. We analyze our investments in real estate in accordance with this accounting standard to determine whether they are variable interest entities, and if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Our judgment with respect to our level of influence or control over an entity and whether we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity involves consideration of various factors, including the form of our ownership interest, our voting interest, the size of our investment (including loans), and our ability to participate in major policy-making decisions. Our ability to correctly assess our influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in our consolidated financial statements.

        Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of

assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Reclassifications—Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or cash flows.

        Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which is intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. These amendments require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2015. We adopted ASU 2015-03 retrospectively in our first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016. As a result of the retrospective adoption, we reclassified unamortized debt issuance costs of $6,113,000 as of December 31, 2015 from deferred rent receivable and charges to debt on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Adoption of this standard did not impact results of operations, retained earnings, or cash flows in the current or previous interim and annual reporting periods.

        In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which is designed to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments through targeted changes to existing GAAP. The ASU requires an entity to: (i) measure equity investments at fair value through net income, with certain exceptions; (ii) present in OCI the changes in instrument-specific credit risk for financial liabilities measured using the fair value option; (iii) present financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset; (iv) calculate the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes based on an exit price; and (v) assess a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to unrealized losses of available-for-sale debt securities in combination with other deferred tax assets. In addition, the ASU provides an election to subsequently measure certain nonmarketable equity investments at cost less any impairment and adjusted for certain observable price changes. The ASU also requires a qualitative impairment assessment of such equity investments and amends certain fair value disclosure requirements. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption by public entities to financial statements that have not yet been issued is permitted only for the provision related to instrument-specific credit risk. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP, which requires a lessee to recognize only capital leases on the balance sheet, the new ASU will require a lessee to recognize both types of leases on the balance sheet. The lessor accounting will remain largely unchanged from current GAAP. However, the ASU contains some targeted improvements that are intended to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and with the updated revenue recognition guidance issued in 2014. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

        In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument under Topic 815 does not require de-designation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedging criteria continue to be met. The new standard is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, the new standard may have on our consolidated financial statements.

        In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations included in Topic 606 by clarifying the following: (i) an entity determines whether it is a principal or an agent for each specified good or service promised to the customer; (ii) an entity determines the nature of each specified good or service; (iii) when another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, an entity that is a principal obtains control of (a) a good or another asset from the other party, (b) a right to a service that will be performed by another party, or (c) a good or service from the other party that it combines with other goods or services; and (iv) the purpose of the indicators in the guidance is to support or assist in the assessment of control. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

        In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including accounting for income taxes, classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows, forfeitures, minimum statutory tax withholding requirements, and classification of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows

when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes. In addition, the ASU eliminates certain guidance in ASC 718, which was indefinitely deferred shortly after the issuance of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted and an entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

        In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which is intended to clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. The amendments in the ASU are expected to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the guidance on identifying promised goods or services and improve the operability and understandability of the licensing implementation guidance. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

3. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

        The fair value of real estate acquired is recorded to the acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, land improvements, building and improvements, tenant improvements, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, in-place leases and tenant relationships and acquired ground leases, if any, based in each case on their respective fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above-market rate loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below-market rate loans, are recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate.

        There were no acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

        On February 2, 2016, we sold a 100% fee-simple interest in the Courtyard Oakland located in Oakland, California to an unrelated third party.

6. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

        We have reflected the lending segment, which was acquired on the Acquisition Date, as held for sale at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, based on a plan approved by the Board of Directors to sell the lending segment that, when completed, will result in the deconsolidation of the lending segment. During July 2015, to maximize value, we modified our strategy from a strategy of selling the lending segment as a whole to a strategy of soliciting buyers for components of the business. This change in the sale methodology resulted in the need to extend the period to complete the sale of the lending segment beyond one year. In connection with our plan, we have expensed transaction costs of $9,000 and $163,000 as incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

        In December 2015, pursuant to the modified plan, we sold substantially all of our commercial mortgage loans to an unrelated third party and recognized a gain of $5,151,000. We are continuing our efforts and are actively soliciting the sale of the remainder of the lending segment.

        The following is a reconciliation of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

and $10,445,000 are presented net of accumulated amortization of $5,158,000 and $4,332,000 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

        In September 2014, CIM Commercial entered into an $850,000,000 unsecured credit facility with a bank syndicate consisting of a $450,000,000 revolver, a $325,000,000 term loan and a $75,000,000 delayed-draw term loan. The credit facility can be increased to $1,150,000,000 under certain conditions. CIM Commercial is subject to certain financial maintenance covenants and a minimum property ownership condition. Outstanding advances under the revolver bear interest at (i) the base rate, plus 0.20% to 1.00% or (ii) London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.20% to 2.00%, depending on the maximum consolidated leverage ratio. Outstanding advances under the term loans bear interest at (i) the base rate, plus 0.15% to 0.95% or (ii) LIBOR plus 1.15% to 1.95%, depending on the maximum consolidated leverage ratio. The revolver is also subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.15% or 0.25% depending on the amount of aggregate unused commitments. The delayed-draw term loan was also subject to an unused line fee of 0.25%. The credit facility matures in September 2016 and provides for two one-year extension options under certain conditions. We intend to either exercise the extension option or identify alternative funding options at or prior to debt maturity. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $107,000,000 ($0 under the revolver and $107,000,000 under the term loans) was outstanding under the credit facility and $450,000,000 was available for future borrowings. Proceeds from the unsecured credit facility were used for acquisitions and general corporate purposes, and to repay mortgage loans and outstanding balances under our prior unsecured credit facilities. At March 31, 2016, the interest rate on this unsecured credit facility was 1.58%, while at December 31, 2015, the interest rate was 1.57%.

        In May 2015, CIM Commercial entered into an unsecured term loan facility with a bank syndicate pursuant to which CIM Commercial can borrow up to a maximum of $385,000,000. The term loan facility ranks pari passu with CIM Commercial's $850,000,000 unsecured credit facility described above; covenants under the term loan facility are substantially the same as those in the $850,000,000 unsecured credit facility. Outstanding advances under the term loan facility bear interest at (i) the base rate plus 0.60% to 1.25% or (ii) LIBOR plus 1.60% to 2.25%, depending on the maximum consolidated leverage ratio. The unused portion of the term loan facility was also subject to an unused fee of 0.20%. With some exceptions, any prepayment of the term loan facility prior to May 2017 will be subject to a prepayment fee up to 2% of the outstanding principal amount. The term loan facility matures in May 2022. On November 2, 2015, $385,000,000 was drawn under the term loan facility. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $385,000,000 was outstanding under the term loan facility. Proceeds from the term loan facility were used to repay balances outstanding under our unsecured credit facility. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the variable interest rate on this unsecured term loan facility was 2.04% and 1.84%, respectively. The interest rate of the loan has been effectively converted to a fixed rate of 3.16% until May 8, 2020 through interest rate swaps (see Note 11).

        At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of our respective financial covenants.

        At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, accrued interest and unused commitment fees payable of $1,865,000 and $1,688,000, respectively, are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

        On March 11, 2014, we granted awards of 2,000 restricted shares of Common Stock to each of the independent members of the Board of Directors (6,000 in aggregate) which awards were effective upon the receipt of stockholder approval of the amendment of the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan on April 28, 2014. The shares of Common Stock vested in March 2015 based on a year of continuous service. In April 2015, an additional 2,000 restricted shares of Common Stock were granted to each of the independent members of the Board of Directors (6,000 in aggregate) under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which will vest over a year of continuous service. Compensation expense related to these restricted shares of Common Stock is recognized over the vesting period. We recorded compensation expense of $27,000 and $32,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to these restricted shares of Common Stock.

        We issued to two of our executive officers an aggregate of 2,000 shares of Common Stock on May 6, 2014 and an aggregate of 2,000 shares of Common Stock on March 6, 2015. The restricted shares of Common Stock vest based on two years of continuous service with one-third of the shares of Common Stock vesting immediately upon issuance and one-third vesting at the end of each of the next two years from the date of issuance. Compensation expense related to these restricted shares of Common Stock is recognized over the vesting period. We recognized compensation expense of $5,000 and $18,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to these restricted shares of Common Stock.

        As of March 31, 2016, there was $5,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to shares of Common Stock which will be recognized over the next year.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS")

        The computations of basic EPS are based on our weighted average shares outstanding. The basic weighted average shares of common stock outstanding were 97,662,000 and 97,582,000 for the three

        Dividends declared during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 consisted of the following:

        On March 6, 2015, we declared a common share dividend of $0.21875 per share of Common Stock which was paid on March 27, 2015.

        On March 8, 2016, we declared a common share dividend of $0.21875 per share of Common Stock which was paid on March 29, 2016.

11. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

        In order to manage financing costs and interest rate exposure related to our $385,000,000 unsecured term loan facility (see Note 7), on August 13, 2015, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with multiple counterparties. These swap agreements became effective on November 2, 2015. Each of our interest rate swap agreements meets the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting treatment and we have designated the interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges of the risk of variability attributable to changes in the one-month LIBOR on the term loan facility. Accordingly, the interest rate swaps are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and the changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded in OCI and reclassified to earnings as an adjustment to interest expense as interest becomes receivable or payable (see Note 2). We do not expect any significant losses from counterparty defaults related to our swap agreements.

Summary of Derivatives

        The following table sets forth the key terms of our interest rate swap contracts:

Number of Interest Rate Swaps(1)(2)	Total Notional Amount		Fixed Rates	Floating Rate Index	Effective Date		Expiration Date
	(in thousands)
10	$	385,000	1.559% - 1.569%	One-Month LIBOR		11/2/2015		5/8/2020

(1)

See Note 12 for our fair value disclosures.

(2)

Our interest rate swaps are not subject to master netting arrangements.

        These swaps hedge the future cash flows of interest payments on our $385,000,000 unsecured term loan facility by fixing the rate until May 8, 2020 at a weighted average rate of 1.563% plus the credit spread, which was 1.60% at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, or an all-in rate of 3.16%.

11. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (Continued)

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features

        Each of our interest rate swap agreements contains a provision under which we could also be declared in default under such agreements if we default on the term loan facility. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there have been no events of default under our interest rate swap agreements.

Impact of Hedges on AOCI and Consolidated Statements of Operations

        The changes in the balance of each component of AOCI related to our interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016			2015
	(in thousands)
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), at beginning of period	$	(2,519	)	$	—
Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications		(9,033	)		—
Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)(1)		1,108			—
Net current period other comprehensive income (loss)		(7,925	)		—
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), at end of period	$	(10,444	)	$	—

(1)

The amounts from AOCI are reclassified as an increase to interest expense in the statements of operations.

Future Reclassifications from AOCI

        We estimate that $4,334,000 related to our derivatives designated as cash flow hedges will be reclassified out of AOCI as an increase to interest expense during the next twelve months.

12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        We determine the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities utilizing a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 Inputs—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 3 Inputs—Unobservable inputs

        In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

        Our derivative financial instruments (see Note 11) are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are presented on the balance sheet at fair value, on a gross basis, excluding accrued interest. The table below presents the fair value of our derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on our consolidated balance sheets:

	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015		Level		Balance Sheet Location
	(in thousands)
Liabilities:
Interest rate swaps	$	10,444	$	2,519		2	Other liabilities

        Interest Rate Swaps—We estimate the fair value of our interest rate swaps by calculating the credit-adjusted present value of the expected future cash flows of each swap. The calculation incorporates the contractual terms of the derivatives, observable market interest rates which we consider to be Level 2 inputs, and credit risk adjustments, if any, to reflect the counterparty's as well as our own nonperformance risk.

        The estimated fair values of those financial instruments which are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis on our consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

	March 31, 2016				December 31, 2015
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Level
	(in thousands)
Assets held for sale:
Loans receivable subject to credit risk	$	51,099	$	51,298	$	46,456	$	46,697		3
SBA 7(a) loans receivable, subject to secured borrowings		35,133		35,602		36,646		37,121		3
Commercial real estate loans, subject to secured borrowings		40,494		40,794		20,338		20,408		3
Liabilities:
Junior subordinated notes		24,998		25,065		24,979		25,046		3
Mortgages payable		143,925		149,797		145,072		147,516		3

        Management's estimation of the fair value of our financial instruments other than our interest rate swaps is based on a Level 3 valuation in the fair value hierarchy established for disclosure of how a company values its financial instruments. In general, quoted market prices from active markets for the identical financial instrument (Level 1 inputs), if available, should be used to value a financial instrument. If quoted prices are not available for the identical financial instrument, then a determination should be made if Level 2 inputs are available. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets for identical or similar financial instruments in markets that are not active (i.e., markets in which there are few transactions for the financial instruments, the prices are not current, price quotations vary substantially, or in which little information is released publicly). There is limited reliable market information for our financial instruments other than our interest rate swaps and we utilize other methodologies based on unobservable inputs for valuation

purposes since there are no Level 1 or Level 2 inputs available. Accordingly, Level 3 inputs are used to measure fair value.

        In general, estimates of fair value may differ from the carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities primarily as a result of the effects of discounting future cash flows. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data and develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are made at a point in time and may not be indicative of the amounts we could realize in a current market exchange.

        The carrying amounts of our secured borrowings, included in liabilities associated with assets held for sale, and unsecured credit and term loan facilities approximate their fair values, as the interest rates on these securities are variable and approximate current market interest rates.

        Loans Receivable Subject to Credit Risk—Loans receivable were initially recorded at estimated fair value at the Acquisition Date. Loans receivable originated subsequent to the Acquisition Date are recorded at cost upon origination and adjusted by net loan origination fees and discounts. In order to determine the estimated fair value of our loans receivable, we use a present value technique for the anticipated future cash flows using certain assumptions. At March 31, 2016, our assumptions included discount rates ranging from 8.25% to 13.00% and a prepayment rate of 15.00%. At December 31, 2015, our assumptions included discount rates ranging from 8.00% to 12.75% and a prepayment rate of 15.00%.

        SBA 7(a) Loans Receivable, Subject to Secured Borrowings—These loans receivable represent the government guaranteed portion of loans which were sold with the proceeds received from the sale reflected as secured borrowings—government guaranteed loans (a liability associated with assets held for sale on our consolidated balance sheets (Note 6)). There is no credit risk associated with these loans since the SBA has guaranteed payment of the principal. In order to determine the estimated fair value of these loans receivable, we use a present value technique for the anticipated future cash flows taking into consideration the lack of credit risk and using a prepayment rate of 15.00% at both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

        Commercial Real Estate Loans, Subject to Secured Borrowings—In order to determine the estimated fair value of our commercial real estate loans receivable which consist of mezzanine loans, we use a present value technique for the anticipated future cash flows using certain assumptions including a discount rate of 11.19% and 9.77% at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. For the purpose of fair value determination, there is no prepayment anticipated and no potential credit deterioration anticipated on our loans at both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

        Junior Subordinated Notes—The fair value of the junior subordinated notes is estimated based on current interest rates available for debt instruments with similar terms. Discounted cash flow analysis is generally used to estimate the fair value of our junior subordinated notes. The rate used was 4.46% and 4.44% at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

        Mortgages Payable—The fair values of mortgages payable are estimated based on current interest rates available for debt instruments with similar terms. The fair value of our mortgages payable is

sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. Discounted cash flow analysis is generally used to estimate the fair value of our mortgages payable, using rates ranging from 4.08% to 4.23% and 4.42% to 4.72% at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

13. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        In May 2005, CIM Urban and CIM Urban REIT Management L.P., each an affiliate of CIM REIT and CIM Group, L.P. ("CIM Group" or "CIM"), entered into an Investment Management Agreement, pursuant to which CIM Urban engaged CIM Urban REIT Management L.P. to provide investment advisory services to CIM Urban. CIM Investment Advisors, LLC, an affiliate of CIM REIT and CIM Group, registered with the SEC as an investment adviser and, in connection with such registration, CIM Urban entered into a new Investment Management Agreement with CIM Investment Advisors, LLC, in December 2015, on terms substantially similar to those in the previous Investment Management Agreement, pursuant to which CIM Urban engaged CIM Investment Advisors, LLC to provide investment advisory services, and the previous Investment Management Agreement was terminated. "Advisor" refers to CIM Urban REIT Management L.P. prior to December 10, 2015 and to CIM Investment Advisors, LLC on and after December 10, 2015.

        CIM Urban pays asset management fees to the Advisor on a quarterly basis in arrears. The fee is calculated as a percentage of the daily average adjusted fair value of CIM Urban's investments, as defined, as follows:

        The Advisor earned asset management fees of $6,478,000 and $6,142,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, asset management fees of $6,562,000 and $6,260,000, respectively, were due to the Advisor.

        CIM Management, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the "CIM Management Entities"), all affiliates of CIM REIT and CIM Group, provide property management, leasing, and development services to CIM Urban. The CIM Management Entities earned property management fees, which are included in rental and other property operating expenses, totaling $1,410,000 and $1,463,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. CIM Urban also reimbursed the CIM Management Entities $1,762,000 and $2,057,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for the cost of on-site personnel incurred on behalf of CIM Urban, which is included in rental and other property operating expenses. The CIM Management Entities earned leasing commissions of $66,000 and $53,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively,

which were capitalized to deferred charges. In addition, the CIM Management Entities earned construction management fees of $258,000 and $225,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which were capitalized to investments in real estate.

        At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, fees payable and expense reimbursements due to the CIM Management Entities of $2,006,000 and $2,230,000, respectively, are included in due to related parties. Also included in due (from) to related parties as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, was ($478,000) and ($274,000), respectively, due (from) the CIM Management Entities and related parties.

        On the Acquisition Date, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, CIM Commercial and its subsidiaries entered into the Master Services Agreement (the "Master Services Agreement") with CIM Service Provider, LLC (the "Manager"), an affiliate of CIM Group, pursuant to which the Manager agrees to provide or arrange for other service providers to provide management and administration services to CIM Commercial and its subsidiaries following the Merger. Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, we appointed an affiliate of CIM Group as the manager of Urban Partners GP, LLC. Under the Master Services Agreement, CIM Commercial pays a base service fee (the "Base Service Fee") to the Manager initially set at $1,000,000 per year (subject to an annual escalation by a specified inflation factor beginning on January 1, 2015), payable quarterly in arrears. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Manager earned a Base Service Fee of $254,000 and $253,000, respectively. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Master Services Agreement, the Manager may receive compensation and/or reimbursement for performing certain services for CIM Commercial and its subsidiaries that are not covered under the Base Service Fee. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, such services performed by the Manager included accounting, tax, reporting, internal audit, legal, compliance, risk management, IT, human resources and corporate communications. The Manager's compensation is based on the salaries and benefits of the employees of the Manager and/or its affiliates who performed these services (allocated based on the percentage of time spent on the affairs of CIM Commercial and its subsidiaries). For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we expensed $866,000 and $691,000 for such services, respectively. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $1,475,000 and $1,256,000 was due to the Manager, respectively, for such services.

        On January 1, 2015, we entered into a Staffing and Reimbursement Agreement with CIM SBA Staffing, LLC ("CIM SBA"), an affiliate of CIM Group and our subsidiary, PMC Commercial Lending, LLC, which provides that CIM SBA will provide personnel and resources to us and that we will reimburse CIM SBA for the costs and expenses of providing such personnel and resources. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we incurred expenses related to services subject to reimbursement by us under this agreement of $1,062,000 and $1,143,000, respectively, which are included in discontinued operations, and $103,000 and $123,000, respectively, which are included in asset management and other fees to related parties. In addition, we deferred $79,000 and $35,000 associated with services rendered for originating loans for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which are included in loans receivable of our assets held for sale.

        On October 1, 2015, an affiliate of CIM Group entered into a 5-year lease renewal with respect to a property owned by the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we recorded rental and other property income related to this lease of $27,000 and $26,000, respectively.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        Loan Commitments—Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer provided the terms established in the contract are met. Our outstanding loan commitments (including the unfunded balance of loans which have closed) to fund loans were $110,393,000 at March 31, 2016. Of the total commitments, $89,946,000 was for the unfunded balance of closed commercial real estate loans, approximately $44,074,000 of which is expected to be funded by a participant in those loans through loan participation agreements; the remaining commitments were for prime-based loans to be originated by our subsidiary engaged in SBA 7(a) Program lending, the government guaranteed portion of which is intended to be sold. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates. Since some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

        General—In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate properties, we have certain obligations for the payment of tenant improvement allowances and lease commissions in connection with new leases and renewals. CIM Commercial had a total of $42,104,000 in future obligations under leases to fund tenant improvements and other future construction obligations at March 31, 2016.

        Employment Agreements—We have employment agreements, effective on the Acquisition Date, with two of our officers. Pursuant to these employment agreements, we issued an aggregate of 76,423 shares of Common Stock under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan as retention bonuses to these officers in January 2016 (as each executive was not entitled to any disability, death or severance payments on such date). These shares vested immediately. We accrued associated payroll taxes of $444,000 at December 31, 2015, which were paid during the three months ended March 31, 2016, and recorded compensation expenses of $0 and $316,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to these retention bonuses. In addition, under certain circumstances, each of these employment agreements currently provides for (1) severance payment equal to the annual base salary paid to the officer and (2) death and disability payments in an amount equal to two times and one time, respectively, the annual base salary paid to the officers. At March 31, 2016, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards.

        Litigation—We are not currently involved in any material pending or threatened legal proceeding nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding currently threatened against us, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the normal course of business, we are periodically party to certain legal actions and proceedings involving matters that are generally incidental to our business. While the outcome of these legal actions and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, in management's opinion, the resolution of these legal proceedings and actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

        SBA Related—If the SBA establishes that a loss on an SBA guaranteed loan is attributable to significant technical deficiencies in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded or serviced under the SBA 7(a) Program, the SBA may seek recovery of the principal loss related to the deficiency from us. With respect to the guaranteed portion of SBA loans that have been sold, the SBA will first honor its guarantee and then seek compensation from us in the event that a loss is deemed to be attributable to technical deficiencies. Based on historical experience, we do not expect that this contingency is probable to be asserted. However, if asserted, it could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        Environmental Matters—In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate properties, we may be potentially liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters, including asbestos-containing materials. We have not been notified by any governmental authority of any noncompliance, liability, or other claim in connection with any of the properties, and we are not aware of any other environmental condition with respect to any of the properties that management believes will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        Rent Expense—The ground lease for a property provides for current annual rent of $503,000, payable quarterly, with increases every five years after July 1, 2015 based on the greater of 15% or 50% of the increase in the Consumer Price Index during a five-year adjustment period. In addition, commencing on July 1, 2040 and July 1, 2065, the rent payable during the balance of the lease term shall be increased by an amount equal to 10% of the rent payable during the immediately preceding lease year. The lease term is through May 31, 2089. If the landlord decides to sell the leased property, we have the right of first refusal.

        Rent expense under this lease, which includes straight-line rent and amortization of acquired below-market ground lease, was $438,000 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. We record rent expense on a straight-line basis. Straight-line rent liability of $12,457,000 and $12,180,000 is included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

16. CONCENTRATIONS

        Tenant Revenue Concentrations—Rental revenues from the U.S. General Services Administration and other government agencies (collectively, "Governmental Tenants"), which primarily occupy properties located in Washington, D.C., accounted for approximately 20.1% and 22.8% of our rental and other property income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $7,531,000 and $7,968,000, respectively, was due from Governmental Tenants (see Note 15).

17. SEGMENT DISCLOSURE

        In accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, our reportable segments consist of three types of commercial real estate properties, namely, office, hotel and multifamily properties, as well as a segment for our lending operations, which is held for sale as of March 31, 2016 and 2015. Management internally evaluates the operating performance and financial results of the segments based on net operating income. We also have certain general and administrative level activities, including public company expenses, legal, accounting, and tax preparation that are not considered separate operating segments. The reportable segments are accounted for on the same basis of accounting as described in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2016.

        We evaluate the performance of our real estate segments based on net operating income, which is defined as rental and other property income and expense reimbursements less property and related expenses, and excludes nonproperty income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, corporate related general and administrative expenses, and transaction costs.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Business Overview

        CIM Commercial is a Maryland corporation and REIT. Our principal business is to invest in, own, and operate Class A and creative office investments in vibrant and improving urban communities throughout the United States. These communities are located in areas that include traditional downtown areas and suburban main streets, which have high barriers-to-entry, high population density, improving demographic trends and a propensity for growth. We believe that the critical mass of redevelopment in such areas creates positive externalities, which enhance the value of substantially stabilized assets in the area. We believe that these assets will provide greater returns than similar assets in other markets, as a result of the improving demographics, public commitment, and significant private investment that characterize these areas.

        We are managed by affiliates of CIM Group. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, CIM Urban, is party to an Investment Management Agreement with CIM Investment Advisors, LLC, an affiliate of CIM Group, pursuant to which CIM Investment Advisors, LLC provides investment advisory services to CIM Urban. In addition, we are party to a Master Services Agreement with the Manager, an affiliate of CIM Group, pursuant to which the Manager provides or arranges for other service providers to provide management and administration services to us. CIM Group is a vertically-integrated, full-service investment manager with multidisciplinary expertise and in-house research, acquisition, investment, development, finance, leasing, and management capabilities. CIM Group is headquartered in Los Angeles, California and has offices in Oakland, California; Bethesda, Maryland; Dallas, Texas; and New York, New York.

37

Properties

        As of March 31, 2016, our real estate portfolio consisted of (i) 20 office properties comprised of approximately 5.5 million rentable square feet, (ii) five multifamily properties comprised of 930 units, (iii) two hotels comprised of 908 rooms, (iv) three parking garages, two of which have street level retail space, and (v) two development sites, one of which is being used as a parking lot.

Strategy

        Our investment strategy is centered around CIM's community qualification process. We believe this strategy provides us with a significant competitive advantage when making urban real estate investments. The qualification process generally takes between six months and five years and is a critical component of CIM's investment evaluation. CIM examines the characteristics of a market to determine whether the district justifies the extensive efforts CIM undertakes in reviewing and making potential investments in its qualified communities ("Qualified Communities"). Qualified Communities generally fall into one of two categories: (i) transitional urban districts that have dedicated resources to become vibrant urban communities and (ii) well-established, thriving urban areas (typically major central business districts). Qualified Communities are distinct districts which have dedicated resources to become or are currently vibrant communities where people can live, work, shop and be entertained—all within walking distance or close proximity to public transportation. These areas also generally have high barriers-to-entry, high population density, improving demographic trends and a propensity for growth. CIM believes that a vast majority of the risks associated with making real asset investments are mitigated by accumulating local market knowledge of the community where the investment lies. CIM typically spends significant time and resources qualifying targeted investment communities prior to making any acquisitions. Since 1994, CIM Group has qualified 103 communities and has deployed capital in 51 of these Qualified Communities. Although we may not invest exclusively in Qualified Communities, it is expected that most of our investments will be identified through this systematic process.

        CIM seeks to maximize the value of its investments through active asset management. CIM has extensive in-house research, acquisition, investment, development, financing, leasing and property management capabilities, which leverage its deep understanding of urban communities to position properties for multiple uses and to maximize operating income. As a fully integrated owner and operator, CIM's asset management capabilities are complemented by its in-house property management capabilities. Property managers prepare annual capital and operating budgets and monthly operating reports, monitor results and oversee vendor services, maintenance and capital improvement schedules. In addition, they ensure that revenue objectives are met, lease terms are followed, receivables are collected, preventative maintenance programs are implemented, vendors are evaluated and expenses are controlled. CIM's asset management committee reviews and approves strategic plans for each investment, including financial, leasing, marketing, property positioning and strategic and disposition plans. In addition, the asset management committee reviews and approves the annual business plan for each property, including its capital and operating budget. CIM's organizational structure provides for investment and asset management continuity through multi-disciplinary teams responsible for an asset from the time of the original investment recommendation, through the implementation of the asset's business plan, and any disposition activities.

        We have been reviewing our strategies with respect to certain of our non-office and non-strategic real estate portfolio. As a result of such review, we sold a hotel in Oakland, California in February 2016 and an office building in Santa Ana, California in November 2015. As a general matter, we continuously evaluate our portfolio as well as our strategy and such review may result in additional dispositions that no longer fit our overall objectives and/or changes in our strategy.

38

Lending Segment

        In order to allow CIM Commercial to increase its focus on Class A and creative office investments, our Board of Directors approved a plan for the lending segment that, when completed, will result in the deconsolidation of the lending segment. The assets and liabilities of the lending segment are reflected as held for sale in our March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheets and its operations have been reflected as discontinued operations in our consolidated income statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 (see Note 6). During July 2015, to maximize value, we modified our strategy from a strategy of selling the lending segment as a whole to a strategy of soliciting buyers for components of the business. In December 2015, pursuant to the modified plan, we sold substantially all of our commercial mortgage loans that were associated with the lending segment to an unrelated third party. This change in the sale methodology resulted in the need to extend the period to complete the sale of the remainder of the lending segment beyond one year. The Company is continuing its efforts and is actively soliciting the sale of the remainder of the lending segment.

        Through our lending business, we are a national lender that primarily originates loans to small businesses through the SBA 7(a) Loan Program. We identify loan origination opportunities through personal contacts, internet referrals, attendance at trade shows and meetings, direct mailings, advertisements in trade publications and other marketing methods. We also generate loans through referrals from real estate and loan brokers, franchise representatives, existing borrowers, lawyers and accountants.

        As part of our lending business, we also originate commercial real estate loans for properties that are primarily located in CIM Group's Qualified Communities. We target investments between $15 million and $150 million with a focus on developing a diversified pool of loans. These loans are typically short duration (five years or less, inclusive of extension options), floating rate and are expected to be:

•

limited and/or non-recourse junior (mezzanine, b-note or 2nd lien) and senior construction loans; or

•

limited and/or non-recourse junior (mezzanine, b-note or 2nd lien) and senior acquisition, bridge or repositioning loans.

        We have participated and expect to continue to participate with one or more institutional investors with respect to a substantial portion of these loans, and/or syndicate a substantial portion of these loans to, one or more institutional investors.

Funds from Operations ("FFO")

        We believe that FFO is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of a REIT and that it is frequently used by security analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO represents net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, real estate depreciation and amortization (other than amortization of deferred financing costs), and adjustments for non-controlling interests. We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT").

        Like any metric, FFO should not be used as the only measure of our performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our real estate properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our operating results. Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the NAREIT; accordingly, our FFO may not be

39

comparable to those other REITs' FFO. Therefore, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance and should not be used as a supplement to or substitute measure for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

        The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income to FFO:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016			2015
	(in thousands)
Net income attributable to stockholders	$	26,980		$	2,732
Depreciation and amortization		18,058			19,128
Gain on sale of depreciable assets		(24,739	)		—
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests		3			—
FFO	$	20,302		$	21,860

        FFO decreased to $20,302,000, or $1,558,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $21,860,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in FFO was primarily attributable to a decrease of $1,533,000 in income from discontinued operations, an increase of $1,223,000 in interest expense and an increase of $492,000 in asset management and other fees to related parties, partially offset by a decrease in corporate general and administration expenses of $1,091,000 and an increase of $320,000 in net operating income of our three operating segments in continuing operations.

Rental Rate Trends

        Office Rental Rates:    The following table sets forth the annualized rent per occupied square foot across our office portfolio as of the specified periods:

	As of March 31,
	2016		2015
Annualized rent per occupied square foot(1)	$	36.59	$	36.07

(1)

Represents gross monthly base rent under leases commenced as of the specified periods, multiplied by twelve. This amount reflects total cash rent before abatements. Total abatements for the twelve months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $4,227,000 and $7,400,000, respectively. Where applicable, annualized rent has been grossed up by adding annualized expense reimbursements to base rent. Annualized rent for certain office properties includes rent attributable to retail.

        Over the next four quarters, we expect to see expiring cash rents as set forth in the table below:

	For the Three Months Ended
	June 30, 2016		September 30, 2016		December 31, 2016		March 31, 2017
Expiring Cash Rents:
Expiring square feet(1)		130,283		80,445		79,559		137,801
Expiring rent per square foot(2)	$	27.20	$	52.40	$	42.08	$	30.18

(1)

All month-to-month tenants occupying a total of 75,671 square feet are included in the expiring leases in the first quarter listed.

40

(2)

Represents gross monthly base rent, as of March 31, 2016, under leases expiring during the periods above, multiplied by twelve. This amount reflects total cash rent before abatements. Where applicable, annualized rent has been grossed up by adding annualized expense reimbursements to base rent.

        During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we executed leases with terms longer than 12 months totaling 236,876 square feet. The table below sets forth information on certain of our executed leases during the three months ended March 31, 2016, excluding space that was vacant for more than one year.

	Number of Leases(1)(2)		Rentable Square Feet(2)		New Cash Rents per Square Foot(2)(3)		Expiring Cash Rents per Square Foot(2)(3)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 (3)		8		31,624	$	27.77	$	28.83

(1)

Based on the number of tenants.

(2)

Excludes leases for which the space was vacant longer than one year, month-to-month leases, leases with an original term of less than 12 months, related party leases, and spaces where the previous tenant was a related party.

(3)

Cash rents represent gross annual base rent. This amount reflects total cash rent before abatements. Where applicable, annualized rent has been grossed up by adding annualized expense reimbursements to base rent.

        Fluctuations in submarkets, buildings and term of the expiring leases cause large variations in these numbers and make predicting the changes in rent in any specific period difficult. Our rental and occupancy rates are impacted by general economic conditions, including the pace of regional and economic growth, and access to capital. Therefore, we cannot give any assurance that leases will be renewed or that available space will be re-leased at rental rates equal to or above the current market rates. Additionally, decreased demand and other negative trends or unforeseeable events that impair our ability to timely renew or re-lease space could have further negative effects on our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

        Multifamily Rates:    The following table sets forth the monthly rent per occupied unit across our multifamily portfolio for the specified periods:

	As of March 31,
	2016		2015
Monthly rent per occupied unit(1)	$	1,974	$	1,792

(1)

Represents gross monthly base rent under leases commenced as of the specified period, divided by occupied units. This amount reflects total cash rent before concessions. Our property in New York was in the process of being re-leased as individual units as of March 31, 2015 as our corporate housing tenant terminated its lease in March 2015. Monthly rent per occupied unit excluding the New York property is $1,581 and $1,565 as of March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

41

        Occupancy Rates:    The following table sets forth the occupancy rates across our office and multifamily real estate portfolios, as of the specified periods:

	As of March 31,
	2016			2015
Office portfolio		83.2	%		85.2	%
Multifamily portfolio(1)		93.5	%		83.1	%

(1)

The multifamily occupancy as of March 31, 2015 reflects zero occupancy for our New York property, as our corporate housing tenant terminated its lease in March 2015 and we were in the process of re-leasing the property as individual units. The occupancy rate for the multifamily portfolio excluding the New York property is 92.9% and 94.3% as of March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

        Hotel Statistics:    The following table sets forth the occupancy, average daily rate ("ADR") and revenue per available room ("RevPAR") for the hotel portfolio for the specified periods:

Secondary Market Loan Sales

        Our lending segment, which is reflected as held for sale at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, sells loans pursuant to the SBA 7(a) Program. The SBA guaranteed portion of these loans are sold in legal sale transactions to either dealers in government guaranteed loans or institutional investors as the loans are fully funded. These government guaranteed portions of loans may be sold for (1) a cash premium and the minimum 1% SBA required servicing spread, (2) significant future servicing spread and no cash premium or (3) future servicing spread and a cash premium of 10%. We are required to permanently treat certain of the proceeds received from these legally sold portions of loans (those loans sold solely for future servicing spread and those loans sold for a cash premium of 10% and future servicing spread) as secured borrowings (debt), which are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as liabilities associated with assets held for sale, and 100% of the loans are included in assets held for sale.

        Net income increased to $26,983,000, or by $24,251,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $2,732,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to a gain on sale of real estate of $24,739,000 (see Note 3), a decrease of $1,091,000 in corporate general and administration expenses, a decrease of $1,070,000 in depreciation and amortization expense, and an increase of $320,000 in net operating income of our three operating segments in continuing operations, partially offset by an increase of $1,223,000 in interest expense, a decrease of $1,533,000 in income from discontinued operations, and an increase of $492,000 in asset management and other fees to related parties.

        CIM Commercial operates in four segments: office, hotel and multifamily properties and lending. The lending segment is classified as held for sale at March 31, 2016 and 2015 and is included in discontinued operations. Set forth and described below are summary segment results for our three segments included in continuing operations.

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Change
	2016		2015		$			%

Revenues

        Office Revenue:    Revenues include rental revenues from office properties, expense reimbursements and lease termination income. Office revenue decreased to $46,049,000, or 1.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $46,615,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to decreases in revenues at our Sacramento, California property due to expiration of a lease with a large tenant on June 30, 2015, and a decrease in revenue at one of our Washington D.C. properties due to expiration of a lease with a large tenant on January 31, 2016, as well as a revenue decrease resulting from the sale of our Santa Ana, California property in November 2015. These decreases in revenue are

43

partially offset by revenue increases at certain properties in Washington D.C. and California due to increases in occupancy. Although we signed an approximately 113,000 square foot lease at a Washington D.C. property which experienced the loss of the large tenant in January 2016, the tenant is not expected to take occupancy until mid-2017. Therefore, we expect the decrease in revenues to be sustained for the remainder of the year at this property.

        Hotel Revenue:    Hotel revenue decreased to $15,283,000, or 2.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $15,719,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease is primarily due to the sale of a hotel property in February 2016 (see Note 3), partially offset by revenue increases at the remaining hotel properties due to RevPAR growth primarily as a result of increased rates.

        Multifamily Revenue:    Multifamily revenue increased to $5,058,000, or 3.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $4,905,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase is primarily due to higher revenue from our New York property, which we began re-leasing as individual units starting in March 2015 following the termination of the lease by our corporate housing tenant.

Expenses

        Office Expenses:    Office expenses decreased to $18,841,000, or 4.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $19,704,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in expenses associated with our Santa Ana, California property sold in November 2015 and a decrease in electricity expense at our Washington D.C. properties, partially offset by an increase in earthquake insurance premiums at our California properties.

        Hotel Expenses:    Hotel expenses decreased to $10,042,000, or 6.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $10,718,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease is primarily due to the sale of a hotel property in February 2016 (see Note 3), partially offset by an increase in operating costs at the remaining hotel properties.

        Multifamily Expenses:    Multifamily expenses increased to $3,094,000, or 13.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $2,724,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase is primarily due to higher expenses associated with operating our New York property, which was in the process of being re-leased as individual units during March 2015 following the termination of the lease by our corporate housing tenant, and an increase in legal fees at our New York property, partially offset by a decrease in real estate taxes at our New York property, due to an increase in the first quarter of 2015 resulting from the temporary loss of tax abatements while it was being leased by a corporate housing operator.

        Interest Expense:    Interest expense, which is not allocated to our operating segments, was $6,626,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $1,223,000 compared to $5,403,000 in the corresponding period in 2015. The increase is mainly due to incremental net borrowings under the credit and term loan facilities during the last nine months of 2015 combined with a higher overall interest rate including the impact of the interest rate swaps, partially offset by lower interest expense as a result of the repayment of approximately $71,237,000 in fixed rate mortgages in April and September 2015.

        General and Administrative Expenses:    General and administrative expenses, which have not been allocated to our operating segments, were $1,064,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $1,091,000 compared to $2,155,000 in the corresponding period in 2015. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in legal, other consulting and stock-based compensation expenses.

44

        Transaction Costs:    Transaction costs totaling $149,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 represent a $279,000 decrease from $428,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The costs incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2016 mostly represent abandoned project costs, while the costs incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2015 represent abandoned project costs and costs related to the planned disposition of the lending segment held for sale.

        Asset Management and Other Fees to Related Parties:    Asset management fees totaled $6,478,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $6,142,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Asset management fees are calculated based on a percentage of the average adjusted fair value of CIM Urban's investments, which are appraised in the fourth quarter of each year. The higher fees reflect a net increase in the fair value of CIM Urban's real estate investments based on the December 31, 2015 appraised values, as well as incremental capital expenditures incurred in the first three months of 2016, offset by decreases as a result of dispositions. CIM Commercial also pays a Base Service Fee to the Manager, a related party, which totaled $254,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $253,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. In addition, the Manager may receive compensation and/or reimbursement for performing certain services for CIM Commercial and its subsidiaries that are not covered under the Base Service Fee. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we expensed $866,000 and $691,000 for such services, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we also expensed $103,000 and $123,000, respectively, related to corporate services subject to reimbursement by us under the CIM SBA Staffing and Reimbursement Agreement, pursuant to which substantially all our lending segment employees moved to CIM SBA Staffing, an affiliate of CIM Group, effective January 1, 2015.

        Depreciation and Amortization Expense:    Depreciation and amortization expense was $18,058,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $1,070,000 compared to $19,128,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease is primarily due to the sale of an office property in November 2015 and a hotel property in February 2016, partially offset by an increase in the depreciation expense associated with additional capital expenditures.

Discontinued Operations

        Net income from discontinued operations:    Net income from discontinued operations represents revenues and expenses from our lending segment, including interest income on loans and other loan related fee income, offset by expenses, which include general and administrative expenses, fees to related party, direct interest expense, and provision for income taxes. Net income from discontinued operations was $1,429,000, a decrease of $1,533,000 compared to $2,962,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, mainly due to the sale of substantially all of our commercial mortgage loans in December 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Funds

Credit Facilities

        In September 2014, CIM Commercial entered into an $850,000,000 unsecured credit facility with a bank syndicate consisting of a $450,000,000 revolver, a $325,000,000 term loan and a $75,000,000 delayed-draw term loan. The credit facility can be increased to $1,150,000,000 under certain conditions. CIM Commercial is subject to certain financial maintenance covenants and a minimum property ownership condition. Outstanding advances under the revolver bear interest at (i) the base rate, plus 0.20% to 1.00% or (ii) LIBOR plus 1.20% to 2.00%, depending on the maximum consolidated leverage ratio. Outstanding advances under the term loans bear interest at (i) the base rate, plus 0.15% to 0.95% or (ii) LIBOR plus 1.15% to 1.95%, depending on the maximum consolidated leverage ratio. The revolver is also subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.15% or 0.25% depending on the amount

45

of aggregate unused commitments. The delayed-draw term loan was also subject to an unused line fee of 0.25%. The credit facility matures in September 2016 and provides for two one-year extension options under certain conditions. We intend to either exercise the extension option or identify alternative funding options at or prior to debt maturity. At April 30, 2016, March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $107,000,000 ($0 under the revolver and $107,000,000 under the term loans) was outstanding under the credit facility and $450,000,000 was available for future borrowings. Proceeds from the unsecured credit facility were used for acquisitions and general corporate purposes, and to repay mortgage loans and outstanding balances under our prior unsecured credit facilities. At March 31, 2016, the interest rate on this unsecured credit facility was 1.58%, while at December 31, 2015, the interest rate was 1.57%.

        In May 2015, CIM Commercial entered into an unsecured term loan facility with a bank syndicate pursuant to which CIM Commercial can borrow up to a maximum of $385,000,000. The term loan facility ranks pari passu with CIM Commercial's $850,000,000 unsecured credit facility described above; covenants under the term loan facility are substantially the same as those in the $850,000,000 unsecured credit facility. Outstanding advances under the term loan facility bear interest at (i) the base rate plus 0.60% to 1.25% or (ii) LIBOR plus 1.60% to 2.25%, depending on the maximum consolidated leverage ratio. The unused portion of the term loan facility was also subject to an unused fee of 0.20%. With some exceptions, any prepayment of the term loan facility prior to May 2017 will be subject to a prepayment fee up to 2% of the outstanding principal amount. The term loan facility matures in May 2022. On November 2, 2015, $385,000,000 was drawn under the term loan facility. At April 30, 2016, March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $385,000,000 was outstanding under the term loan facility. Proceeds from the term loan facility were used to repay balances outstanding under our unsecured credit facility. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the variable interest rate on this unsecured term loan facility was 2.04% and 1.84%, respectively. The interest rate of the loan has been effectively converted to a fixed rate of 3.16% until May 8, 2020 through interest rate swaps (see Note 11).

        At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of our respective financial covenants.

        We currently have substantial borrowing capacity, and will likely finance our future activities through one or more of the following methods: (i) offerings of shares of Common Stock, preferred shares, senior unsecured securities, and/or other equity and debt securities; (ii) credit facilities and term loans; (iii) the addition of senior recourse or non-recourse debt using target acquisitions as well as existing investments as collateral; (iv) the sale of existing investments; and/or (v) cash flows from operations. We expect to employ leverage levels that are comparable to those of other commercial REITs engaged in business strategies similar to our own.

        Our long-term liquidity needs will consist primarily of funds necessary to acquire investments and pay for development or repositioning of properties, capital expenditures, refinancing of indebtedness and acquisitions of shares of our Common Stock, at or below net asset value, whether through one or more tender offers, share repurchases or otherwise. In addition, once we issue shares of preferred stock under the registration statement that we filed with the SEC in April 2016, our future liquidity needs will include dividends on such preferred stock and may include use of funds for the redemption of such preferred stock (if we choose to pay the redemption price in cash instead of shares of our Common Stock). We may not have sufficient funds on hand or may not be able to obtain additional financing to cover all of these long-term cash requirements. The nature of our business, and the requirements imposed by REIT rules that we distribute a substantial majority of our REIT taxable income on an annual basis in the form of dividends, may cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over the long-term. We will seek to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through one or more of the methods described in the immediately preceding paragraph. If we cannot obtain additional funding for our long-term liquidity needs, our investments may generate lower cash flows or decline in value, or both, which may cause us to sell assets at a time when we would not otherwise do so and could have a

46

material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or ability to satisfy our debt service obligations or to maintain our level of dividend distributions.

Available Borrowings, Cash Balances and Capital Resources

        We have typically financed our capital needs through investor equity commitments, long-term secured mortgages, and unsecured short-term credit facilities and term loans. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had total indebtedness, exclusive of debt included in liabilities associated with assets held for sale, of $656,498,000 and $656,835,000, respectively. Included in total indebtedness is $492,000,000 of borrowings under credit and term loan facilities with total capacity of $942,000,000 at both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. As of May 5, 2016, $492,000,000 ($0 under the revolver and $492,000,000 under the term loans) was outstanding under the credit and term loan facilities, and $450,000,000 was available for future borrowings.

Cash Flow Analysis

        As a REIT, our cash flows from operations are typically used to fund our dividends.

        Our cash and cash equivalents, inclusive of cash associated with assets held for sale, totaled $106,224,000 and $140,572,000 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our real estate assets, the rental rates achieved through our leases, and the collectability of rent and recoveries from our tenants. Our cash flows from operating activities are also impacted by fluctuations in operating expenses and other general and administrative costs. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $7,068,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $9,961,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease of $4,443,000 resulting from increased funding for loans held for sale, partially offset by an increase of $2,810,000 resulting from a lower level of working capital used.

        Our cash flows from investing activities are primarily related to property investments and sales, expenditures for development and redevelopment projects, capital expenditures and cash flows associated with loans originated at our lending segment. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $28,451,000 compared to $19,716,000 in the corresponding period in 2015. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to an increase in the change in restricted cash of $44,550,000 primarily related to an anticipated Section 1031 Exchange in connection with the sale of a hotel property in February 2016 (see Note 2), an increase in funding for loans of $1,931,000 and a decrease of $4,527,000 in principal collected on loans, partially offset by the net proceeds of $42,782,000 from the sale of a hotel property.

        Our cash flows from financing activities are generally impacted by borrowings and capital activities. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $12,965,000 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $11,768,000 in the corresponding period in 2015. We had net borrowings, inclusive of borrowings of the lending segment held for sale, of $8,400,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $33,070,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        During the three months ended March 31, 2016, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in the information regarding specified contractual obligations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

47

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

        At March 31, 2016, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        Our recently issued accounting pronouncements are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

DIVIDENDS

        Our stockholders are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by the Board of Directors. In determining our dividend policy, the Board of Directors considers many factors including, but not limited to, expectations for future earnings, REIT taxable income (loss) and maintenance of REIT status, the economic environment and portfolio performance. Consequently, the dividend rate on a quarterly basis does not necessarily correlate directly to any individual factor. There can be no assurance that the future dividends declared by our Board of Directors will not differ materially from historical dividend levels.

        On March 8, 2016, we declared a common share dividend of $0.21875 per share of Common Stock which was paid on March 29, 2016.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        The fair value of our mortgages payable is sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. Discounted cash flow analysis is generally used to estimate the fair value of our mortgages payable, using rates ranging from 4.08% to 4.23% at March 31, 2016 and 4.42% to 4.72% at December 31, 2015. Mortgages payable with book values of $143,925,000 and $145,072,000 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, have fair values of approximately $149,797,000 and $147,516,000, respectively.

        Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. We are exposed to market risk in the form of changes in interest rates and the potential impact such changes may have on the cash flows from our floating rate debt or the fair values of our fixed rate debt. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (excluding premiums and discounts, and debt issuance costs, including the debt associated with assets held for sale and before the impact of the interest rate swaps), $143,723,000 (or 20.1%) and $144,791,000 (or 20.4%) of our debt, respectively, was fixed rate mortgage loans, and $572,106,000 (or 79.9%) and $563,498,000 (or 79.6%), respectively, was floating rate borrowings. Based on the level of floating rate debt outstanding at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and before the impact of the interest rate swaps, a 12.5 basis point change in LIBOR would result in an annual impact to our earnings of approximately $715,000 and $704,000, respectively. We calculate interest rate sensitivity by multiplying the amount of floating rate debt by the respective change in rate. The sensitivity analysis does not take into consideration possible changes in the balances or fair value of our floating rate debt or the impact of interest rate swaps.

        In order to manage financing costs and interest rate exposure related to our $385,000,000 unsecured term loan facility, on August 13, 2015, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with multiple counterparties. These swap agreements became effective on November 2, 2015. These interest rate swaps effectively convert the interest rate on the term loan facility into a fixed weighted average rate of 1.563% plus the credit spread, which was 1.60% at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, or an all-in rate of 3.16% until May 8, 2020. However, our use of these derivative instruments to hedge exposure to changes in interest rates exposes us to credit risk from the potential inability of our

48

counterparties to perform under the terms of the agreements. We attempt to minimize this credit risk by contracting with what we believe to be high-quality financial counterparties. For a description of our derivative contracts, see Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, as of March 31, 2016, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

        There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

        CIM Commercial Trust Corporation ("CIM Commercial" or the "Company") or together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, (which, together with CIM Commercial, may be referred to as "we," "us" or "our") primarily invests in, owns, and operates Class A and creative office investments in vibrant and improving urban communities throughout the United States. These communities are located in areas that include traditional downtown areas and suburban main streets, which have high barriers-to-entry, high population density, improving demographic trends and a propensity for growth. We also generate income from the yield and other related fee income earned on our investments from our lending activities. As discussed in Note 6, the lending segment is held for sale at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. We were originally organized in 1993 as PMC Commercial Trust ("PMC Commercial"), a Texas real estate investment trust.

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

        Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, an affiliate of CIM REIT received 4,400,000 shares of newly-issued PMC Commercial Common Stock ("Common Stock") and approximately 65,000,000 shares of newly-issued PMC Commercial preferred stock. Following the Merger and subsequent increase in our authorized number of shares, each share of preferred stock was converted into 1.4 shares of PMC Commercial Common Stock, resulting in the issuance of 95,440,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate in connection with the Merger, representing approximately 97.8% of PMC Commercial's outstanding shares of Common Stock.

        On April 28, 2014, PMC Commercial's charter was amended to increase the authorized shares of stock of PMC Commercial from 100,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 shares and PMC Commercial changed its state of incorporation (the "Reincorporation") from Texas to Maryland by means of a merger of PMC Commercial with and into a newly formed, wholly-owned Maryland corporation subsidiary. Also, on April 28, 2014, we changed our name from "PMC Commercial Trust" to "CIM Commercial Trust Corporation." Our Common Stock is currently traded on the NASDAQ Global Market (symbol "CMCT").

        On April 28, 2014, we filed Articles of Amendment (the "Reverse Split Amendment") to effectuate a one-for-five reverse stock split of the Common Stock, effective April 29, 2014. Pursuant to the reverse stock split, each five shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split were converted into one share of Common Stock. Fractional shares of Common Stock were not issued as a result of the reverse stock split; instead, holders of pre-split shares of Common Stock who otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fractional share of Common Stock received an amount in cash equal to the product of the fraction of a share multiplied by the closing price of the Common Stock (as adjusted for the one-for-five reverse stock split). In connection with and immediately following the filing of the Reverse Split Amendment, we filed Articles of Amendment (the "Par Value Amendment") to decrease the par value of the Common Stock issued and outstanding to $0.001 per share, effective April 29, 2014, subsequent to the effective time of the Reverse Split Amendment. All per share and outstanding share information has been presented to reflect the reverse stock split.

        CIM Commercial has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. Our accompanying interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2016.

        Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CIM Commercial and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

        Investments in Real Estate—Real estate acquisitions are recorded at cost as of the acquisition date. Costs related to the acquisition of properties are expensed as incurred. Investments in real estate are stated at depreciated cost. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives as follows:

Buildings and improvements	15 - 40 years
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment	3 - 5 years
Tenant improvements	Shorter of the useful lives or the terms of the related leases

        Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

        Investments in real estate are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. The estimated fair value of the asset group identified for step two of the impairment testing under GAAP is based on either the income approach with market discount rate, terminal capitalization rate and rental rate assumptions being most critical, or on the sales comparison approach to similar properties. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

        Derivative Financial Instruments—As part of risk management and operational strategies, from time to time, we may enter into derivative contracts with various counterparties. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their estimated fair value. On the date that we enter into a derivative contract, we designate the derivative as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, a foreign currency fair value or cash flow hedge, a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or a trading or non-hedging instrument.

        Changes in the estimated fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, to the extent that the hedge is effective, are initially recorded in other comprehensive income ("OCI"), and are subsequently reclassified into earnings as a component of interest expense when the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction affects earnings (e.g., when periodic settlements of a variable-rate asset or liability are recorded in earnings). Any hedge ineffectiveness (which represents the amount by which the changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative differ from the variability in the cash flows of the forecasted transaction) is recognized in current-period earnings as a component of interest expense. When an interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge no longer qualifies for hedge accounting, we recognize changes in estimated fair value of the hedge previously deferred to accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"), along with any changes in estimated fair value occurring thereafter, through earnings. We classify cash flows from interest rate swap agreements as net cash provided from operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows as our accounting policy is to present the cash flows from the hedging instruments in the same category in the consolidated statements of cash flows as the category for the cash flows from the hedged items. See Note 11 for disclosures about our derivative financial instruments and hedging activities.

        Loans Receivable—Our loans receivable included in assets held for sale are carried at their unamortized principal balance less unamortized acquisition discounts and premiums, retained loan discounts and loan loss reserves. For loans originated under the Small Business Administration's ("SBA") 7(a) Guaranteed Loan Program ("SBA 7(a) Program"), we sell the portion of the loan that is guaranteed by the SBA. Upon sale of the SBA guaranteed portion of the loans, which are accounted for as sales, the unguaranteed portion of the loan retained by us is valued on a fair value basis and a discount (the "Retained Loan Discount") is recorded as a reduction in basis of the retained portion of the loan.

        At the Acquisition Date, the carrying value of our loans was adjusted to estimated fair value and acquisition discounts of $33,907,000 were recorded, which are being accreted to interest and other income, included in income from operations of assets held for sale, using the effective interest method. We sold substantially all of our commercial mortgage loans with unamortized acquisition discounts of $15,951,000 to an unrelated third party in December 2015 (see Note 6). Acquisition discounts of $2,931,000 remained as of March 31, 2016 which have not yet been accreted to income.

        A loan receivable is generally classified as non-accrual (a "Non-Accrual Loan") if (i) it is past due as to payment of principal or interest for a period of 60 days or more, (ii) any portion of the loan is classified as doubtful or is charged-off or (iii) the repayment in full of the principal and/or interest is in doubt. Generally, loans are charged-off when management determines that we will be unable to collect any remaining amounts due under the loan agreement, either through liquidation of collateral or other means. Interest income, included in discontinued operations, on a Non-Accrual Loan is recognized on either the cash basis or the cost recovery basis.

        On a quarterly basis, and more frequently if indicators exist, we evaluate the collectability of our loans receivable. Our evaluation of collectability involves judgment, estimates, and a review of the ability of the borrower to make principal and interest payments, the underlying collateral and the borrowers' business models and future operations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 450-20,Contingencies—Loss Contingencies, and ASC 310-10,Receivables. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we recorded a net recovery of $243,000 and an impairment of $101,000 on our loans receivable, respectively. We establish a general loan loss reserve when available information indicates that it is probable a loss has occurred based on the carrying value of the portfolio and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required in determining the general loan loss reserve, including estimates of the likelihood of default and the estimated fair value of the collateral. The general loan loss reserve includes those loans, which may have negative characteristics which have not yet become known to us. In addition to the reserves established on loans not considered impaired that have been evaluated under a specific evaluation, we establish the general loan loss reserve using a consistent methodology to determine a loss percentage to be applied to loan balances. These loss percentages are based on many factors, primarily cumulative and recent loss history and general economic conditions.

        Deferred Rent Receivable and Charges—Deferred rent receivable and charges consist of deferred rent, deferred leasing costs, and other deferred charges. Deferred rent receivable is $59,936,000 and $58,612,000 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Deferred leasing costs, which represent lease commissions and other direct costs associated with the acquisition of tenants, are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Deferred leasing costs of $62,782,000 and $59,225,000 are presented net of accumulated amortization of $22,198,000 and $20,612,000 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Other deferred charges are $40,000 and $0 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

        Noncontrolling Interests—Noncontrolling interests represent the interests in various properties owned by third parties.

        Restricted Cash—Our mortgage loan and hotel management agreements provide for depositing cash into restricted accounts reserved for property taxes, insurance, and capital expenditures. Restricted cash also includes cash proceeds from dispositions that are temporarily held at qualified intermediaries for purposes of facilitating like-kind exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 1031 Exchange"), which allows the gain on sale of real estate to be deferred for income tax purposes. As of March 31, 2016, the net proceeds of $42,782,000 from the sale of a hotel property in February 2016 (see Note 3) held at a qualified intermediary in anticipation of a Section 1031 Exchange is included in restricted cash.

        Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations—We classify assets as held for sale, if material, when they meet the necessary criteria, which include: a) management commits to and actively embarks upon a plan to sell the assets, b) the assets to be sold are available for immediate sale in their present condition, c) the sale is expected to be completed within one year under terms usual and customary for such sales and d) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. We believe that we meet these criteria when the plan for sale has been approved by our board of directors (the "Board of Directors"), there are no known significant contingencies related to the sale and management believes it is probable that the sale will be completed within one year.

        Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less cost to sell. In addition, if we were to determine that the asset disposal associated with assets held for sale or disposed of represents a strategic shift, the revenues, expenses and net gain (loss) on dispositions would be recorded in discontinued operations for all periods presented through the date of the applicable disposition.

        Consolidation Considerations for Our Investments in Real Estate—ASC 810-10,Consolidation, addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling interest in an entity through means other than voting rights that would require the entity to be consolidated. We analyze our investments in real estate in accordance with this accounting standard to determine whether they are variable interest entities, and if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Our judgment with respect to our level of influence or control over an entity and whether we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity involves consideration of various factors, including the form of our ownership interest, our voting interest, the size of our investment (including loans), and our ability to participate in major policy-making decisions. Our ability to correctly assess our influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in our consolidated financial statements.

        Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Reclassifications—Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or cash flows.

        Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03,Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,which is intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. These amendments require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2015. We adopted ASU 2015-03 retrospectively in our first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016. As a result of the retrospective adoption, we reclassified unamortized debt issuance costs of $6,113,000 as of December 31, 2015 from deferred rent receivable and charges to debt on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Adoption of this standard did not impact results of operations, retained earnings, or cash flows in the current or previous interim and annual reporting periods.

        In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01,Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which is designed to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments through targeted changes to existing GAAP. The ASU requires an entity to: (i) measure equity investments at fair value through net income, with certain exceptions; (ii) present in OCI the changes in instrument-specific credit risk for financial liabilities measured using the fair value option; (iii) present financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset; (iv) calculate the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes based on an exit price; and (v) assess a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to unrealized losses of available-for-sale debt securities in combination with other deferred tax assets. In addition, the ASU provides an election to subsequently measure certain nonmarketable equity investments at cost less any impairment and adjusted for certain observable price changes. The ASU also requires a qualitative impairment assessment of such equity investments and amends certain fair value disclosure requirements. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption by public entities to financial statements that have not yet been issued is permitted only for the provision related to instrument-specific credit risk. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

        In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842), which is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP, which requires a lessee to recognize only capital leases on the balance sheet, the new ASU will require a lessee to recognize both types of leases on the balance sheet. The lessor accounting will remain largely unchanged from current GAAP. However, the ASU contains some targeted improvements that are intended to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and with the updated revenue recognition guidance issued in 2014. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

        In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-05,Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument under Topic 815 does not require de-designation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedging criteria continue to be met. The new standard is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, the new standard may have on our consolidated financial statements.

        In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations included in Topic 606 by clarifying the following: (i) an entity determines whether it is a principal or an agent for each specified good or service promised to the customer; (ii) an entity determines the nature of each specified good or service; (iii) when another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, an entity that is a principal obtains control of (a) a good or another asset from the other party, (b) a right to a service that will be performed by another party, or (c) a good or service from the other party that it combines with other goods or services; and (iv) the purpose of the indicators in the guidance is to support or assist in the assessment of control. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

        In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09,Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including accounting for income taxes, classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows, forfeitures, minimum statutory tax withholding requirements, and classification of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes. In addition, the ASU eliminates certain guidance in ASC 718, which was indefinitely deferred shortly after the issuance of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted and an entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

        In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which is intended to clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. The amendments in the ASU are expected to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the guidance on identifying promised goods or services and improve the operability and understandability of the licensing implementation guidance. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

6. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

        We have reflected the lending segment, which was acquired on the Acquisition Date, as held for sale at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, based on a plan approved by the Board of Directors to sell the lending segment that, when completed, will result in the deconsolidation of the lending segment. During July 2015, to maximize value, we modified our strategy from a strategy of selling the lending segment as a whole to a strategy of soliciting buyers for components of the business. This change in the sale methodology resulted in the need to extend the period to complete the sale of the lending segment beyond one year. In connection with our plan, we have expensed transaction costs of $9,000 and $163,000 as incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

        In December 2015, pursuant to the modified plan, we sold substantially all of our commercial mortgage loans to an unrelated third party and recognized a gain of $5,151,000. We are continuing our efforts and are actively soliciting the sale of the remainder of the lending segment.

        The following is a reconciliation of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

        The mortgages payable are secured by deeds of trust on certain of the properties and assignments of rents.

        The junior subordinated notes may be redeemed at par at our option.

        Deferred loan costs, which represent legal and third-party fees incurred in connection with our borrowing activities, are capitalized and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the related loan, approximating the effective interest method. Deferred loan costs of $10,445,000 and $10,445,000 are presented net of accumulated amortization of $5,158,000 and $4,332,000 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

        In September 2014, CIM Commercial entered into an $850,000,000 unsecured credit facility with a bank syndicate consisting of a $450,000,000 revolver, a $325,000,000 term loan and a $75,000,000 delayed-draw term loan. The credit facility can be increased to $1,150,000,000 under certain conditions. CIM Commercial is subject to certain financial maintenance covenants and a minimum property ownership condition. Outstanding advances under the revolver bear interest at (i) the base rate, plus 0.20% to 1.00% or (ii) London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.20% to 2.00%, depending on the maximum consolidated leverage ratio. Outstanding advances under the term loans bear interest at (i) the base rate, plus 0.15% to 0.95% or (ii) LIBOR plus 1.15% to 1.95%, depending on the maximum consolidated leverage ratio. The revolver is also subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.15% or 0.25% depending on the amount of aggregate unused commitments. The delayed-draw term loan was also subject to an unused line fee of 0.25%. The credit facility matures in September 2016 and provides for two one-year extension options under certain conditions. We intend to either exercise the extension option or identify alternative funding options at or prior to debt maturity. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $107,000,000 ($0 under the revolver and $107,000,000 under the term loans) was outstanding under the credit facility and $450,000,000 was available for future borrowings. Proceeds from the unsecured credit facility were used for acquisitions and general corporate purposes, and to repay mortgage loans and outstanding balances under our prior unsecured credit facilities. At March 31, 2016, the interest rate on this unsecured credit facility was 1.58%, while at December 31, 2015, the interest rate was 1.57%.

        In May 2015, CIM Commercial entered into an unsecured term loan facility with a bank syndicate pursuant to which CIM Commercial can borrow up to a maximum of $385,000,000. The term loan facility ranks pari passu with CIM Commercial's $850,000,000 unsecured credit facility described above; covenants under the term loan facility are substantially the same as those in the $850,000,000 unsecured credit facility. Outstanding advances under the term loan facility bear interest at (i) the base rate plus 0.60% to 1.25% or (ii) LIBOR plus 1.60% to 2.25%, depending on the maximum consolidated leverage ratio. The unused portion of the term loan facility was also subject to an unused fee of 0.20%. With some exceptions, any prepayment of the term loan facility prior to May 2017 will be subject to a prepayment fee up to 2% of the outstanding principal amount. The term loan facility matures in May 2022. On November 2, 2015, $385,000,000 was drawn under the term loan facility. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $385,000,000 was outstanding under the term loan facility. Proceeds from the term loan facility were used to repay balances outstanding under our unsecured credit facility. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the variable interest rate on this unsecured term loan facility was 2.04% and 1.84%, respectively. The interest rate of the loan has been effectively converted to a fixed rate of 3.16% until May 8, 2020 through interest rate swaps (see Note 11).

        At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of our respective financial covenants.

        At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, accrued interest and unused commitment fees payable of $1,865,000 and $1,688,000, respectively, are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

        In order to manage financing costs and interest rate exposure related to our $385,000,000 unsecured term loan facility (see Note 7), on August 13, 2015, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with multiple counterparties. These swap agreements became effective on November 2, 2015. Each of our interest rate swap agreements meets the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting treatment and we have designated the interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges of the risk of variability attributable to changes in the one-month LIBOR on the term loan facility. Accordingly, the interest rate swaps are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and the changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded in OCI and reclassified to earnings as an adjustment to interest expense as interest becomes receivable or payable (see Note 2). We do not expect any significant losses from counterparty defaults related to our swap agreements.

Summary of Derivatives

        The following table sets forth the key terms of our interest rate swap contracts:

Number of Interest Rate Swaps(1)(2)	Total Notional Amount		Fixed Rates	Floating Rate Index	Effective Date		Expiration Date
	(in thousands)
10	$	385,000	1.559% - 1.569%	One-Month LIBOR		11/2/2015		5/8/2020

(1)	See Note 12 for our fair value disclosures.
(2)	Our interest rate swaps are not subject to master netting arrangements.

        These swaps hedge the future cash flows of interest payments on our $385,000,000 unsecured term loan facility by fixing the rate until May 8, 2020 at a weighted average rate of 1.563% plus the credit spread, which was 1.60% at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, or an all-in rate of 3.16%.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features

        Each of our interest rate swap agreements contains a provision under which we could also be declared in default under such agreements if we default on the term loan facility. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there have been no events of default under our interest rate swap agreements.

Impact of Hedges on AOCI and Consolidated Statements of Operations

        The changes in the balance of each component of AOCI related to our interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), at beginning of period	$	(2,519	)	$	—

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), at end of period	$	(10,444	)	$	—

(1)           The amounts from AOCI are reclassified as an increase to interest expense in the statements of operations.

Future Reclassifications from AOCI

        We estimate that $4,334,000 related to our derivatives designated as cash flow hedges will be reclassified out of AOCI as an increase to interest expense during the next twelve months.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        We determine the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities utilizing a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 Inputs—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 3 Inputs—Unobservable inputs

        In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

        Our derivative financial instruments (see Note 11) are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are presented on the balance sheet at fair value, on a gross basis, excluding accrued interest. The table below presents the fair value of our derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on our consolidated balance sheets:

	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015		Level		Balance Sheet Location
	(in thousands)
Liabilities:
Interest rate swaps	$	10,444	$	2,519		2	Other liabilities

        Interest Rate Swaps—We estimate the fair value of our interest rate swaps by calculating the credit-adjusted present value of the expected future cash flows of each swap. The calculation incorporates the contractual terms of the derivatives, observable market interest rates which we consider to be Level 2 inputs, and credit risk adjustments, if any, to reflect the counterparty's as well as our own nonperformance risk.

        The estimated fair values of those financial instruments which are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis on our consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

	March 31, 2016				December 31, 2015
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Level
	(in thousands)
Assets held for sale:
Loans receivable subject to credit risk	$	51,099	$	51,298	$	46,456	$	46,697		3
SBA 7(a) loans receivable, subject to secured borrowings		35,133		35,602		36,646		37,121		3
Commercial real estate loans, subject to secured borrowings		40,494		40,794		20,338		20,408		3
Liabilities:
Junior subordinated notes		24,998		25,065		24,979		25,046		3
Mortgages payable		143,925		149,797		145,072		147,516		3

        Management's estimation of the fair value of our financial instruments other than our interest rate swaps is based on a Level 3 valuation in the fair value hierarchy established for disclosure of how a company values its financial instruments. In general, quoted market prices from active markets for the identical financial instrument (Level 1 inputs), if available, should be used to value a financial instrument. If quoted prices are not available for the identical financial instrument, then a determination should be made if Level 2 inputs are available. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets for identical or similar financial instruments in markets that are not active (i.e., markets in which there are few transactions for the financial instruments, the prices are not current, price quotations vary substantially, or in which little information is released publicly). There is limited reliable market information for our financial instruments other than our interest rate swaps and we utilize other methodologies based on unobservable inputs for valuation purposes since there are no Level 1 or Level 2 inputs available. Accordingly, Level 3 inputs are used to measure fair value.

        In general, estimates of fair value may differ from the carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities primarily as a result of the effects of discounting future cash flows. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data and develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are made at a point in time and may not be indicative of the amounts we could realize in a current market exchange.

The carrying amounts of our secured borrowings, included in liabilities associated with assets held for sale, and unsecured credit and term loan facilities approximate their fair values, as the interest rates on these securities are variable and approximate current market interest rates.

        Loans Receivable Subject to Credit Risk—Loans receivable were initially recorded at estimated fair value at the Acquisition Date. Loans receivable originated subsequent to the Acquisition Date are recorded at cost upon origination and adjusted by net loan origination fees and discounts. In order to determine the estimated fair value of our loans receivable, we use a present value technique for the anticipated future cash flows using certain assumptions. At March 31, 2016, our assumptions included discount rates ranging from 8.25% to 13.00% and a prepayment rate of 15.00%. At December 31, 2015, our assumptions included discount rates ranging from 8.00% to 12.75% and a prepayment rate of 15.00%.

        SBA 7(a) Loans Receivable, Subject to Secured Borrowings—These loans receivable represent the government guaranteed portion of loans which were sold with the proceeds received from the sale reflected as secured borrowings—government guaranteed loans (a liability associated with assets held for sale on our consolidated balance sheets (Note 6)). There is no credit risk associated with these loans since the SBA has guaranteed payment of the principal. In order to determine the estimated fair value of these loans receivable, we use a present value technique for the anticipated future cash flows taking into consideration the lack of credit risk and using a prepayment rate of 15.00% at both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

        Commercial Real Estate Loans, Subject to Secured Borrowings—In order to determine the estimated fair value of our commercial real estate loans receivable which consist of mezzanine loans, we use a present value technique for the anticipated future cash flows using certain assumptions including a discount rate of 11.19% and 9.77% at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. For the purpose of fair value determination, there is no prepayment anticipated and no potential credit deterioration anticipated on our loans at both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

        Junior Subordinated Notes—The fair value of the junior subordinated notes is estimated based on current interest rates available for debt instruments with similar terms. Discounted cash flow analysis is generally used to estimate the fair value of our junior subordinated notes. The rate used was 4.46% and 4.44% at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

        Mortgages Payable—The fair values of mortgages payable are estimated based on current interest rates available for debt instruments with similar terms. The fair value of our mortgages payable is sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. Discounted cash flow analysis is generally used to estimate the fair value of our mortgages payable, using rates ranging from 4.08% to 4.23% and 4.42% to 4.72% at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

        CIM Management, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the "CIM Management Entities"), all affiliates of CIM REIT and CIM Group, provide property management, leasing, and development services to CIM Urban. The CIM Management Entities earned property management fees, which are included in rental and other property operating expenses, totaling $1,410,000 and $1,463,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. CIM Urban also reimbursed the CIM Management Entities $1,762,000 and $2,057,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for the cost of on-site personnel incurred on behalf of CIM Urban, which is included in rental and other property operating expenses. The CIM Management Entities earned leasing commissions of $66,000 and $53,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which were capitalized to deferred charges. In addition, the CIM Management Entities earned construction management fees of $258,000 and $225,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which were capitalized to investments in real estate.

        At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, fees payable and expense reimbursements due to the CIM Management Entities of $2,006,000 and $2,230,000, respectively, are included in due to related parties.

        On the Acquisition Date, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, CIM Commercial and its subsidiaries entered into the Master Services Agreement (the "Master Services Agreement") with CIM Service Provider, LLC (the "Manager"), an affiliate of CIM Group, pursuant to which the Manager agrees to provide or arrange for other service providers to provide management and administration services to CIM Commercial and its subsidiaries following the Merger. Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, we appointed an affiliate of CIM Group as the manager of Urban Partners GP, LLC. Under the Master Services Agreement, CIM Commercial pays a base service fee (the "Base Service Fee") to the Manager initially set at $1,000,000 per year (subject to an annual escalation by a specified inflation factor beginning on January 1, 2015), payable quarterly in arrears. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Manager earned a Base Service Fee of $254,000 and $253,000, respectively. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Master Services Agreement, the Manager may receive compensation and/or reimbursement for performing certain services for CIM Commercial and its subsidiaries that are not covered under the Base Service Fee. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, such services performed by the Manager included accounting, tax, reporting, internal audit, legal, compliance, risk management, IT, human resources and corporate communications. The Manager's compensation is based on the salaries and benefits of the employees of the Manager and/or its affiliates who performed these services (allocated based on the percentage of time spent on the affairs of CIM Commercial and its subsidiaries). For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we expensed $866,000 and $691,000 for such services, respectively. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $1,475,000 and $1,256,000 was due to the Manager, respectively, for such services.

        On January 1, 2015, we entered into a Staffing and Reimbursement Agreement with CIM SBA Staffing, LLC ("CIM SBA"), an affiliate of CIM Group and our subsidiary, PMC Commercial Lending, LLC, which provides that CIM SBA will provide personnel and resources to us and that we will reimburse CIM SBA for the costs and expenses of providing such personnel and resources. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we incurred expenses related to services subject to reimbursement by us under this agreement of $1,062,000 and $1,143,000, respectively, which are included in discontinued operations, and $103,000 and $123,000, respectively, which are included in asset management and other fees to related parties. In addition, we deferred $79,000 and $35,000 associated with services rendered for originating loans for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which are included in loans receivable of our assets held for sale.

        On October 1, 2015, an affiliate of CIM Group entered into a 5-year lease renewal with respect to a property owned by the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we recorded rental and other property income related to this lease of $27,000 and $26,000, respectively.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        Loan Commitments—Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer provided the terms established in the contract are met. Our outstanding loan commitments (including the unfunded balance of loans which have closed) to fund loans were $110,393,000 at March 31, 2016. Of the total commitments, $89,946,000 was for the unfunded balance of closed commercial real estate loans, approximately $44,074,000 of which is expected to be funded by a participant in those loans through loan participation agreements; the remaining commitments were for prime-based loans to be originated by our subsidiary engaged in SBA 7(a) Program lending, the government guaranteed portion of which is intended to be sold. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates. Since some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

        General—In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate properties, we have certain obligations for the payment of tenant improvement allowances and lease commissions in connection with new leases and renewals. CIM Commercial had a total of $42,104,000 in future obligations under leases to fund tenant improvements and other future construction obligations at March 31, 2016.

        Employment Agreements—We have employment agreements, effective on the Acquisition Date, with two of our officers. Pursuant to these employment agreements, we issued an aggregate of 76,423 shares of Common Stock under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan as retention bonuses to these officers in January 2016 (as each executive was not entitled to any disability, death or severance payments on such date). These shares vested immediately. We accrued associated payroll taxes of $444,000 at December 31, 2015, which were paid during the three months ended March 31, 2016, and recorded compensation expenses of $0 and $316,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to these retention bonuses. In addition, under certain circumstances, each of these employment agreements currently provides for (1) severance payment equal to the annual base salary paid to the officer and (2) death and disability payments in an amount equal to two times and one time, respectively, the annual base salary paid to the officers. At March 31, 2016, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards.

        Litigation—We are not currently involved in any material pending or threatened legal proceeding nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding currently threatened against us, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the normal course of business, we are periodically party to certain legal actions and proceedings involving matters that are generally incidental to our business. While the outcome of these legal actions and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, in management's opinion, the resolution of these legal proceedings and actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        SBA Related—If the SBA establishes that a loss on an SBA guaranteed loan is attributable to significant technical deficiencies in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded or serviced under the SBA 7(a) Program, the SBA may seek recovery of the principal loss related to the deficiency from us. With respect to the guaranteed portion of SBA loans that have been sold, the SBA will first honor its guarantee and then seek compensation from us in the event that a loss is deemed to be attributable to technical deficiencies. Based on historical experience, we do not expect that this contingency is probable to be asserted. However, if asserted, it could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        Environmental Matters—In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate properties, we may be potentially liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters, including asbestos-containing materials. We have not been notified by any governmental authority of any noncompliance, liability, or other claim in connection with any of the properties, and we are not aware of any other environmental condition with respect to any of the properties that management believes will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        Rent Expense—The ground lease for a property provides for current annual rent of $503,000, payable quarterly, with increases every five years after July 1, 2015 based on the greater of 15% or 50% of the increase in the Consumer Price Index during a five-year adjustment period. In addition, commencing on July 1, 2040 and July 1, 2065, the rent payable during the balance of the lease term shall be increased by an amount equal to 10% of the rent payable during the immediately preceding lease year. The lease term is through May 31, 2089. If the landlord decides to sell the leased property, we have the right of first refusal.

        Rent expense under this lease, which includes straight-line rent and amortization of acquired below-market ground lease, was $438,000 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. We record rent expense on a straight-line basis. Straight-line rent liability of $12,457,000 and $12,180,000 is included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

        We lease office space in Dallas, Texas under a lease which expires in May 2018. We recorded rent expense of $58,000, included in discontinued operations, for each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

        Scheduled future noncancelable minimum lease payments at March 31, 2016 are as follows:

        Tenant Revenue Concentrations—Rental revenues from the U.S. General Services Administration and other government agencies (collectively, "Governmental Tenants"), which primarily occupy properties located in Washington, D.C., accounted for approximately 20.1% and 22.8% of our rental and other property income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $7,531,000 and $7,968,000, respectively, was due from Governmental Tenants (see Note 15).

        Geographical Concentrations of Investments in Real Estate—As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we owned 20 office properties, five multifamily properties, two and three hotel properties, respectively, three parking garages, and two development sites, one of which is being used as a parking lot. These properties are located in four states and Washington, D.C.

SEGMENT DISCLOSURE

17. SEGMENT DISCLOSURE

        In accordance with ASC Topic 280,Segment Reporting, our reportable segments consist of three types of commercial real estate properties, namely, office, hotel and multifamily properties, as well as a segment for our lending operations, which is held for sale as of March 31, 2016 and 2015. Management internally evaluates the operating performance and financial results of the segments based on net operating income. We also have certain general and administrative level activities, including public company expenses, legal, accounting, and tax preparation that are not considered separate operating segments. The reportable segments are accounted for on the same basis of accounting as described in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2016.

        We evaluate the performance of our real estate segments based on net operating income, which is defined as rental and other property income and expense reimbursements less property and related expenses, and excludes nonproperty income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, corporate related general and administrative expenses, and transaction costs.

        The net operating income of our reportable segments included in continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2016

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim Financial Information

        Interim Financial Information—The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of CIM Commercial have been prepared by our management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Certain information and note disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying financial information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of our management, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. Our accompanying interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2016.

Principles of Consolidation

        Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CIM Commercial and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Investments in Real Estate

        Investments in Real Estate—Real estate acquisitions are recorded at cost as of the acquisition date. Costs related to the acquisition of properties are expensed as incurred. Investments in real estate are stated at depreciated cost. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives as follows:

Buildings and improvements	15 - 40 years
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment	3 - 5 years
Tenant improvements	Shorter of the useful lives or the terms of the related leases

        Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

        Investments in real estate are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. The estimated fair value of the asset group identified for step two of the impairment testing under GAAP is based on either the income approach with market discount rate, terminal capitalization rate and rental rate assumptions being most critical, or on the sales comparison approach to similar properties. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Derivative Financial Instruments

        Derivative Financial Instruments—As part of risk management and operational strategies, from time to time, we may enter into derivative contracts with various counterparties. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their estimated fair value. On the date that we enter into a derivative contract, we designate the derivative as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, a foreign currency fair value or cash flow hedge, a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or a trading or non-hedging instrument.

        Changes in the estimated fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, to the extent that the hedge is effective, are initially recorded in other comprehensive income ("OCI"), and are subsequently reclassified into earnings as a component of interest expense when the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction affects earnings (e.g., when periodic settlements of a variable-rate asset or liability are recorded in earnings). Any hedge ineffectiveness (which represents the amount by which the changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative differ from the variability in the cash flows of the forecasted transaction) is recognized in current-period earnings as a component of interest expense. When an interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge no longer qualifies for hedge accounting, we recognize changes in estimated fair value of the hedge previously deferred to accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"), along with any changes in estimated fair value occurring thereafter, through earnings. We classify cash flows from interest rate swap agreements as net cash provided from operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows as our accounting policy is to present the cash flows from the hedging instruments in the same category in the consolidated statements of cash flows as the category for the cash flows from the hedged items. See Note 11 for disclosures about our derivative financial instruments and hedging activities.

Loans Receivable

        Loans Receivable—Our loans receivable included in assets held for sale are carried at their unamortized principal balance less unamortized acquisition discounts and premiums, retained loan discounts and loan loss reserves. For loans originated under the Small Business Administration's ("SBA") 7(a) Guaranteed Loan Program ("SBA 7(a) Program"), we sell the portion of the loan that is guaranteed by the SBA. Upon sale of the SBA guaranteed portion of the loans, which are accounted for as sales, the unguaranteed portion of the loan retained by us is valued on a fair value basis and a discount (the "Retained Loan Discount") is recorded as a reduction in basis of the retained portion of the loan.

        At the Acquisition Date, the carrying value of our loans was adjusted to estimated fair value and acquisition discounts of $33,907,000 were recorded, which are being accreted to interest and other income, included in income from operations of assets held for sale, using the effective interest method. We sold substantially all of our commercial mortgage loans with unamortized acquisition discounts of $15,951,000 to an unrelated third party in December 2015 (see Note 6). Acquisition discounts of $2,931,000 remained as of March 31, 2016 which have not yet been accreted to income.

        A loan receivable is generally classified as non-accrual (a "Non-Accrual Loan") if (i) it is past due as to payment of principal or interest for a period of 60 days or more, (ii) any portion of the loan is classified as doubtful or is charged-off or (iii) the repayment in full of the principal and/or interest is in doubt. Generally, loans are charged-off when management determines that we will be unable to collect any remaining amounts due under the loan agreement, either through liquidation of collateral or other means. Interest income, included in discontinued operations, on a Non-Accrual Loan is recognized on either the cash basis or the cost recovery basis.

        On a quarterly basis, and more frequently if indicators exist, we evaluate the collectability of our loans receivable. Our evaluation of collectability involves judgment, estimates, and a review of the ability of the borrower to make principal and interest payments, the underlying collateral and the borrowers' business models and future operations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 450-20,Contingencies—Loss Contingencies, and ASC 310-10,Receivables. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we recorded a net recovery of $243,000 and an impairment of $101,000 on our loans receivable, respectively. We establish a general loan loss reserve when available information indicates that it is probable a loss has occurred based on the carrying value of the portfolio and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required in determining the general loan loss reserve, including estimates of the likelihood of default and the estimated fair value of the collateral. The general loan loss reserve includes those loans, which may have negative characteristics which have not yet become known to us. In addition to the reserves established on loans not considered impaired that have been evaluated under a specific evaluation, we establish the general loan loss reserve using a consistent methodology to determine a loss percentage to be applied to loan balances. These loss percentages are based on many factors, primarily cumulative and recent loss history and general economic conditions.

Deferred Rent Receivable and Charges

        Deferred Rent Receivable and Charges—Deferred rent receivable and charges consist of deferred rent, deferred leasing costs, and other deferred charges. Deferred rent receivable is $59,936,000 and $58,612,000 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Deferred leasing costs, which represent lease commissions and other direct costs associated with the acquisition of tenants, are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Deferred leasing costs of $62,782,000 and $59,225,000 are presented net of accumulated amortization of $22,198,000 and $20,612,000 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Other deferred charges are $40,000 and $0 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Noncontrolling Interests

        Noncontrolling Interests—Noncontrolling interests represent the interests in various properties owned by third parties.

Restricted Cash

        Restricted Cash—Our mortgage loan and hotel management agreements provide for depositing cash into restricted accounts reserved for property taxes, insurance, and capital expenditures. Restricted cash also includes cash proceeds from dispositions that are temporarily held at qualified intermediaries for purposes of facilitating like-kind exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 1031 Exchange"), which allows the gain on sale of real estate to be deferred for income tax purposes. As of March 31, 2016, the net proceeds of $42,782,000 from the sale of a hotel property in February 2016 (see Note 3) held at a qualified intermediary in anticipation of a Section 1031 Exchange is included in restricted cash.

Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

        Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations—We classify assets as held for sale, if material, when they meet the necessary criteria, which include: a) management commits to and actively embarks upon a plan to sell the assets, b) the assets to be sold are available for immediate sale in their present condition, c) the sale is expected to be completed within one year under terms usual and customary for such sales and d) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. We believe that we meet these criteria when the plan for sale has been approved by our board of directors (the "Board of Directors"), there are no known significant contingencies related to the sale and management believes it is probable that the sale will be completed within one year.

        Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less cost to sell. In addition, if we were to determine that the asset disposal associated with assets held for sale or disposed of represents a strategic shift, the revenues, expenses and net gain (loss) on dispositions would be recorded in discontinued operations for all periods presented through the date of the applicable disposition.

Consolidation Considerations for Our Investments in Real Estate

        Consolidation Considerations for Our Investments in Real Estate—ASC 810-10,Consolidation, addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling interest in an entity through means other than voting rights that would require the entity to be consolidated. We analyze our investments in real estate in accordance with this accounting standard to determine whether they are variable interest entities, and if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Our judgment with respect to our level of influence or control over an entity and whether we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity involves consideration of various factors, including the form of our ownership interest, our voting interest, the size of our investment (including loans), and our ability to participate in major policy-making decisions. Our ability to correctly assess our influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in our consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

        Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

        Reclassifications—Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

        Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03,Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,which is intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. These amendments require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2015. We adopted ASU 2015-03 retrospectively in our first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016. As a result of the retrospective adoption, we reclassified unamortized debt issuance costs of $6,113,000 as of December 31, 2015 from deferred rent receivable and charges to debt on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Adoption of this standard did not impact results of operations, retained earnings, or cash flows in the current or previous interim and annual reporting periods.

        In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01,Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which is designed to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments through targeted changes to existing GAAP. The ASU requires an entity to: (i) measure equity investments at fair value through net income, with certain exceptions; (ii) present in OCI the changes in instrument-specific credit risk for financial liabilities measured using the fair value option; (iii) present financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset; (iv) calculate the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes based on an exit price; and (v) assess a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to unrealized losses of available-for-sale debt securities in combination with other deferred tax assets. In addition, the ASU provides an election to subsequently measure certain nonmarketable equity investments at cost less any impairment and adjusted for certain observable price changes. The ASU also requires a qualitative impairment assessment of such equity investments and amends certain fair value disclosure requirements. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption by public entities to financial statements that have not yet been issued is permitted only for the provision related to instrument-specific credit risk. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

        In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842), which is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP, which requires a lessee to recognize only capital leases on the balance sheet, the new ASU will require a lessee to recognize both types of leases on the balance sheet. The lessor accounting will remain largely unchanged from current GAAP. However, the ASU contains some targeted improvements that are intended to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and with the updated revenue recognition guidance issued in 2014. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

        In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-05,Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument under Topic 815 does not require de-designation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedging criteria continue to be met. The new standard is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, the new standard may have on our consolidated financial statements.

        In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations included in Topic 606 by clarifying the following: (i) an entity determines whether it is a principal or an agent for each specified good or service promised to the customer; (ii) an entity determines the nature of each specified good or service; (iii) when another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, an entity that is a principal obtains control of (a) a good or another asset from the other party, (b) a right to a service that will be performed by another party, or (c) a good or service from the other party that it combines with other goods or services; and (iv) the purpose of the indicators in the guidance is to support or assist in the assessment of control. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

        In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09,Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including accounting for income taxes, classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows, forfeitures, minimum statutory tax withholding requirements, and classification of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes. In addition, the ASU eliminates certain guidance in ASC 718, which was indefinitely deferred shortly after the issuance of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted and an entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

        In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which is intended to clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. The amendments in the ASU are expected to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the guidance on identifying promised goods or services and improve the operability and understandability of the licensing implementation guidance. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
