Community Focused Urban Real Assets Strategy1 Since 1994, CIM has qualified 114 communities in high barrier-to-entry markets and has owned and operated assets in 68 of those communities1. The qualification process generally takes between six months and five years and is a critical component of CIM’s urban asset evaluation. 19 CIM believes that its community qualification process provides it with a significant competitive advantage when making urban real asset acquisitions. Qualification Criteria Transitional Urban Districts Thriving Urban Areas 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 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 As of June 30, 2018.

Debt and Preferred Stock Summary1 24 Excludes: (a) $19,962,000 of secured borrowings – government guaranteed loans, which represent sold loans that are treated as secured borrowings because the loan sales did not meet the derecognition criteria provided for in ASC 860-30, Secured Borrowing and Collateral, and (b) premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs. In May 2018, we completed a securitization of the unguaranteed portion of certain of our SBA 7(a) loans receivable with the issuance of $38,200,000 of unguaranteed SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes. The SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes are collateralized by the right to receive payments and other recoveries attributable to the unguaranteed portions of certain of our SBA 7(a) loans receivable. The notes mature on March 20, 2043, with monthly payments due as payments on the collateralized loans are received. Based on the anticipated repayments of our collateralized SBA 7(a) loans, we estimate the weighted average life of the notes to be approximately 3 years. At June 30, 2018, the interest rates applicable to the components of CIM Commercial's Unsecured Credit Facility were based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread determined by CIM Commercial's maximum leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2018, $0 was outstanding under the Unsecured Credit Facility and the unused capacity on the Unsecured Credit Facility at June 30, 2018 was $200,000,000. Our one-month LIBOR indexed variable rate borrowings are effectively converted to a fixed rate of 3.16% until May 8, 2020 through interest rate swaps.

Net Operating Income Reconciliations (1/4) 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 NOI and net income attributable to the Company for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017, and the six months ended June 30, 2018. 28 2 Kaiser Plaza was acquired in August 2015.

Important Disclosures 32 Assets Owned and Operated Assets Owned and Operated (AOO) represents the aggregate assets owned and operated by CIM on behalf of partners (including where CIM contributes alongside for its own account) and co-investors, whether or not CIM has discretion, in each case without duplication. AOO includes total gross assets at fair value, with real assets presented on the basis described in the Book Value disclosure and operating companies presented at gross assets less debt, as of March 31, 2018 (the “Report Date”) (including the shares of such assets owned by joint venture partners and co-investments), plus binding unfunded commitments. AOO also includes the $0.3 billion of AOO attributable to CIM Compass Latin America (CCLA), which is 50% owned and jointly operated by CIM. AOO for CMMT Partners, L.P. (which represents assets under management), a perpetual-life real estate debt fund, is $0.4 billion as of the Report Date. Book Value for each investment generally represents the investment’s book value as reflected in the applicable fund’s unaudited financial statements as of the Report Date prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles on a fair value basis. These book values generally represent the asset’s third-party appraised value as of the Report Date, but in the case of CIM’s Cole Net-Lease Asset strategy, book values generally represent undepreciated cost (as reflected in SEC-filed financial statements). Net Asset Value (NAV) represents the distributable amount based on a “hypothetical liquidation” assuming that on the date of determination that: (i) investments are sold at their Book Values; (ii) debts are paid and other assets are collected; and (iii) appropriate adjustments and/or allocations between equity partners are made in accordance with applicable documents, as determined in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Net Asset Value As of December 31, 2017, we have established an estimated NAV per share of Common Stock of $23.96. Neither the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority nor the Securities and Exchange Commission 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.
