19 1 As of December 31, 2017. Note that multiple communities may be qualified within a larger city. COMMUNITY FOCUSED STRATEGY – CIM QUALIFIED COMMUNITIES1 QUALIFICATION CRITERIA Transitional Urban Districts Improving demographics Broad public support for CIM’s approach Evidence of private funding from other institutional owners and operators Underserved niches in the community’s real estate infrastructure Potential to deploy a minimum of $100 million of opportunistic equity within five years Thriving Urban Areas Positive demographic trends Public support for acquisitions Opportunities below intrinsic value Potential to deploy a minimum of $100 million of opportunistic equity within five years CIM believes that its community qualification process provides a significant competitive advantage when making urban real asset acquisitions, while also positively impacting the associated communities and neighborhoods. Since 1994, CIM has qualified 114 communities in high barrier-to-entry markets and has owned and operated assets in 68 of those communities. The qualification process generally takes between six months and five years and is a critical component of CIM’s urban asset evaluation. CIM examines the characteristics of a market to determine whether it justifies the extensive efforts CIM undertakes in reviewing and making potential acquisitions. The communities are located in both primary and secondary urban centers, which can encompass (1) transitional urban districts and growth markets adjacent to central business districts and/or (2) well-established, thriving urban areas including major CBDs.

This amount reflects total cash rent before abatements. Where applicable, annualized rent has been grossed up by adding annualized expense reimbursements to base rent. 1130 Howard Street was acquired in December 2017. The annualized rent as of December 31, 2017 for 12,944 rentable square feet of the building is presented using the actual rental income under a signed lease with a different tenant who is expected to take possession in April 2018, as the space is occupied by the prior owner and annualized rent under the short-term lease is de minimis. Represents seven different leases at various properties. This tenant terminated its lease effective January 1, 2018, and CIM Commercial recognized a lease termination fee of $4,798,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017. CIM Commercial entered into a ten-year lease agreement with a different tenant for 81,977 rentable square feet, which was delivered to the tenant on January 1, 2018. Additionally, the new tenant has signed an expansion agreement for additional 16,816 rentable square feet, which is expected to be delivered to the tenant in June 2018. The annualized rent per occupied square foot from the prior tenant to the new tenant has increased from $33.26 to $45.00.

27 RECONCILIATIONS/IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES

Net operating income ReconciliationS (1/4) 28 CIM Commercial internally evaluates the operating performance and financial results of its segments based on segment net operating income, which is defined as rental and other property income and expense reimbursements less property related expenses and excludes non-property income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, corporate related general and administrative expenses, gain (loss) on sale of real estate, impairment of real estate, transaction costs and provision for income taxes. For the lending segment, we define net operating income as interest income, net of interest expense and general overhead expenses. We also evaluate the operating performance and financial results of our operating segments using cash basis net operating income (“Cash NOI”). We define Cash NOI as segment NOI adjusted to exclude the effect of the straight lining of rents, acquired above/below market lease amortization and other adjustments required by GAAP. Segment NOI and Cash NOI are not measures of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to income from continuing operations, or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity, or as an indication of our performance or of our ability to pay dividends. Companies may not calculate segment NOI or Cash NOI in the same manner. We consider segment NOI and Cash NOI to be useful performance measures to investors and management because, when compared across periods, they reflect the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating our properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from income from continuing operations. Additionally, we believe that Cash NOI is helpful to investors because it eliminates straight line rent and other non-cash adjustments to revenue and expenses. Below is a reconciliation of Cash NOI to segment net operating income and net income for 2014-2017.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES 32 Assets Owned and Operated “Assets Owned and Operated” represents (i) (a) for real assets, the aggregate total gross assets (GAV) at fair value, including the shares of such assets owned by joint venture partners and co-investments, owned and operated by CIM on behalf of partners (including where CIM invests alongside for its own account) and co-investors, whether or not CIM has investment discretion or (b) for operating companies, the aggregate GAV less debt, including the shares of such assets owned by joint venture partners and co-investments, owned and operated by CIM on behalf of partners (including where CIM invests alongside for its own account) and co-investors, whether or not CIM has investment discretion (not in duplication of the assets described in (i)(a)), plus (ii) the aggregate unfunded commitments, as of December 31, 2017 (the “Report Date”). The GAV is calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles on a fair value basis (the “Book Value”) and generally represents the investment’s third-party appraised value as reported within the applicable fund’s unaudited financial statements as of the Report Date, but in the case of CIM’s Cole Net-Lease Asset strategy described below GAV or Book Value generally represents undepreciated cost (as reflected in SEC-filed financial statements) as of September 30, 2017. The only investment currently held by CIM REIT (as defined below) consists of shares of our Common Stock; the Book Value of CIM REIT is determined by assuming the underlying assets of CMCT are liquidated based upon the third-party appraised value. CIM does not presently view the market price of our Common Stock to be a meaningful indication of the fair value of CIM REIT’s interest in CMCT due to the fact that the publicly-traded shares of our Common Stock represent less than 4% of the outstanding Common Stock of CMCT and are thinly-traded. Assets Owned and Operated also includes the assets owned/operated by CIM’s Cole Net-Lease Asset strategy (formerly Cole Capital), which was under contract to be acquired by a CIM affiliate as of the Report Date and subsequently closed on February 1, 2018. The assets owned/operated by CIM’s Cole Net-Lease Asset strategy represent approximately $7.6 billion of CIM's reported Assets Owned and Operated of $27.5 billion. Equity Owned and Operated, representing the NAV (as defined below) before incentive fee allocation, plus binding unfunded commitments, is $15.5 billion as of the Report Date. NAV is based upon the aggregate amounts that would be distributable assuming a “hypothetical liquidation” on the date of determination, assuming that: (x) investments are sold at their Book Value (as defined above); (y) debts are paid and other assets are collected; and (z) appropriate adjustments and/or allocations between equity investors are made in accordance with applicable documents, in each case as determined in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Assets Owned and Operated for CMMT Partners, L.P. (which represents assets under management), a perpetual-life real estate debt fund, is $0.3 billion as of the Report Date and Equity Owned and Operated for CMMT Partners, L.P. (which represents equity under management), is $0.3 billion as of the Report Date. Net Asset Value As of December 31, 2017, we have established an estimated NAV per share of Common Stock of $23.96. Neither FINRA nor the SEC provides rules on the methodology we must use to determine our estimated NAV per share. The determination of estimated NAV involves a number of subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments that may not be accurate or complete. We believe there is no established practice among public REITs for calculating estimated NAV. Different firms using different property-specific, general real estate, capital markets, economic and other assumptions, estimates and judgments could derive an estimated NAV that is significantly different from our estimated NAV. Thus, other public REITs’ methodologies used to calculate estimated NAV may differ materially from ours. Additionally, the estimated NAV does not give effect to changes in value, investment activities, capital activities, indebtedness levels, and other various activities occurring after December 31, 2017 that would have an impact on our estimated NAV. The estimated NAV per share of $23.96 was calculated relying in part on appraisals of our real estate assets and the assets of our lending segment. The table “Estimated Net Asset Value” on page 6 sets forth the material items included in the calculation of our estimated NAV. We engaged various third party appraisal firms to perform appraisals of our real estate assets and the assets of our lending segment as of December 31, 2017. Except for one office property acquired in December 2017, which was based on the purchase price (including transaction costs that were capitalized and assumption of liabilities) negotiated with the unrelated third-party seller, the fair values of our investments in real estate were based on appraisals obtained as of December 31, 2017. The fair values of the assets of our lending segment were based on an appraisal obtained as of December 31, 2017. The December 31, 2017 appraisals were performed in accordance with standards set forth by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Each of our appraisals were prepared by personnel who are subject to and in compliance with the code of professional ethics and the standards of professional conduct set forth by the certification programs of the professional appraisal organizations of which they are members.
