The illustrative NAVs per share at 2021 are based on a number of assumptions, including, without limitation, an increase in NOI at 6% per year, the capital structure of CMCT remaining unchanged from the date hereof and an annualized dividend rate of $0.50 per share ($0.25 for the second half of 2017). Any changes in these assumptions will affect the ability of CMCT to achieve the illustrative NAV per share. There can be no guarantee that CMCT will be able to achieve NOI growth of 6% per year. In addition, as discussed on page 13, CMCT is targeting a capital structure that is different from CMCT’s current capital structure. Further, there can be no assurance that CMCT will not decrease the dividend rate of $0.50 per year. Accordingly, CMCT makes no representation and warranty about the illustrative NAV.

Since 1994, CIM has qualified 105 communities in high barrier-to-entry sub-markets and has invested in 63 of the communities. The qualification process generally takes between 6 months and 5 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. 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 (“CBDs”) and/or (2) well-established, thriving urban areas including major CBDs.

CMCT - funds from operations 24 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) available to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, impairment of real estate, and real estate depreciation and amortization. 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 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 per share adjustments to net income available to common stockholders per share are calculated independently for each adjustment and may not be additive due to rounding. 2017 2016 2017 2016 FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (FFO) Net income available to common stockholders 91,291 $ 849 $ 285,190 $ 27,829 $ Depreciation and amortization 14,761 18,480 31,992 36,538 Impairment of real estate 13,100 - 13,100 - Gain on sale of depreciable assets (116,283) - (304,017) (24,739) FFO AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS 2,869 $ 19,329 $ $ 26,265 $ 39,628 BASIC AND DILUTED FFO PER SHARE: Net income available to common stockholders 1.16 $ 0.01 $ 3.50 $ 0.29 $ Depreciation and amortization 0.19 0.19 0.39 0.38 Impairment of real estate 0.17 - 0.16 - Gain on sale of depreciable assets (1.47) - (3.73) (0.25) FFO AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS PER SHARE 0.04 $ 0.20 $ $ 0.32 $ 0.41 WEIGHTED AVERAGE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OUTSTANDING: Basic 78,871 96,683 81,445 97,173 Diluted 78,871 96,683 81,445 97,173 (Unaudited) Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, (in thousands, except per share amounts)

CMCT - Debt summary1,2 26 Excludes $23.0 million of secured borrowings-government guaranteed loans, which represent sold loans which 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. Excludes mortgages payable secured by 7083 Hollywood Boulevard and 4200 Scotland Street, which are held for sale at August 11, 2017. Approximately $50.6 million of the outstanding mortgages payable at June 30, 2017 on these properties will be repaid or assumed by the buyer. Excludes premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs. At June 30, 2017, 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 defined in the credit agreement. In June 2016, all outstanding borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility were repaid. At June 30, 2017, $0 was outstanding under the credit facility and $89 million was available for future borrowings, based on covenant restrictions at June 30, 2017. In August 2017, we exercised the second of two one-year extension options through September 2018. The Unsecured Term Loan Facility ranks pari passu with CIM Commercial's Unsecured Credit Facility; covenants under the Unsecured Term Loan Facility are substantially the same as those in the Unsecured Credit Facility. At June 30, 2017, the interest rate was based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread determined by CIM Commercial's maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement. With some exceptions, any prepayment of the Unsecured Term Loan Facility prior to May 2017 was subject to a prepayment fee up to 2% of the outstanding principal amount. On August 3, 2017, we repaid $65 million of outstanding borrowing, and terminated three interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $65 million. 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.

Net operating income Reconciliation 27 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. We also evaluate the operating performance and financial results of our operating segments using cash basis net operating income (“Cash NOI”). We define cash basis 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 basis NOI are not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative 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. All companies may not calculate segment NOI or cash basis NOI in the same manner. We consider segment NOI and cash basis 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 basis 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 the three months ended March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017.

Important Disclosures Assets and Equity Under Management Assets Under Management (“AUM”), or Gross AUM, 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, of all of CIM’s advised accounts (each an “Account” and collectively, the “Accounts”) or (b) for operating companies, the aggregate GAV less debt, including the shares of such assets owned by joint venture partners and co-investments, of all of the Accounts (not in duplication of the assets described in (i)(a)), plus (ii) the aggregate unfunded commitments of the Accounts, as of March 31, 2017 (“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 of the Report Date, or as of March 31, 2017, as adjusted further by the result of any partial realizations and quarterly valuation adjustments based upon management’s estimate of fair value, in each case through the Report Date other than as described below with respect to CIM REIT. The only investment currently held by CIM REIT consists of shares in CIM Commercial Trust Corporation (“CMCT”), a publicly traded company; the Book Value of CIM REIT is determined by assuming the underlying assets of CMCT are liquidated based upon management’s estimate of fair value. CIM does not presently view the price of CMCT’s publicly-traded shares 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 CMCT represent less than 3% of the outstanding shares of CMCT and are thinly-traded. Equity Under Management (“EUM”), or Net AUM, represents (i) the aggregate NAV of the Accounts (as described below), plus (ii) the aggregate unfunded commitments of the Accounts. The NAV of each Account is based upon the aggregate amounts that would be distributable (prior to incentive fee allocations) to such Account assuming a “hypothetical liquidation” of the Account 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. Net Asset Value The determination of estimated NAV involves a number of subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments that may not be accurate or complete. Further, different firms using different property-specific, general real estate, capital markets, economic and other assumptions, estimates and judgments could derive an estimated NAV that could be significantly different from our estimated NAV. Additionally, our estimated NAV does not give effect to changes in value, investment activities, capital activities, indebtedness levels, and other various activities occurring after June 30, 2017 that would have an impact on our estimated NAV, other than 370 L’Enfant Promenade whose fair value is based on a purchase and sale agreement entered into with an unrelated third party on August 10, 2017. The estimated NAV per share of $22.56 was calculated by CIM Investment Advisors, LLC, relying in part on appraisals of our real estate investments and the assets of our lending segment. The table on page 22 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 investments and the assets of our lending segment as of December 31, 2016. Except for two multifamily properties and two office properties, which were classified as held for sale at August 11, 2017, the fair values of our investments in real estate were based on appraisals obtained as of December 31, 2016 plus capex additions, at cost, incurred thereafter. The fair values of our two multifamily properties and two office properties were based on purchase and sale agreements entered into with unrelated third parties. The fair values of the assets of our lending segment were based on an appraisal obtained as of December 31, 2016 plus loan activity, at cost, incurred thereafter. The December 31, 2016 appraisals were performed in accordance with standards set forth by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Each of our appraisals was 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. 28
