APPENDIX 22

CIM GROUP – QUALIFIED COMMUNITY METHODOLOGY 23 QUALIFICATION CRITERIA Transitional Urban Districts Positive demographic trends Public support for investment Opportunities below intrinsic value Potential to invest a minimum of $100 million of opportunistic equity within five years Thriving Urban Areas Improving demographics Broad public support for CIM’s investment approach Evidence of private investment from other institutional investors Underserved niches in the community’s real estate infrastructure Potential to invest a minimum of $100 million of opportunistic equity within five years CIM believes that its community qualification process provides it with a significant competitive advantage when making urban real estate investments. 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.

CMCT – funds from operations 27 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, 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.

CMCT – Debt summary1 29 Excludes $26.3 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 premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs. At March 31, 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 March 31, 2017, $0 was outstanding under the credit facility and $200 million was available for future borrowings, as we permanently reduced the revolving credit commitment under the credit facility to $200 million. The credit facility was set to mature in September 2016 and, prior to maturity, we exercised the first of two one year extension options through September 2017. 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 March 31, 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. 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. 7083 Hollywood Boulevard is under contract for sale.

Net operating income Reconciliation 30 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, 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 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 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 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 the three months ended March 31, 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 estimated Net Asset Value (“NAV”) contained herein is CMCT’s pro forma NAV given effect to certain transactions that have not been completed. Accordingly, the NAV contained herein should not be treated as “Applicable NAV” for purposes of CMCT’s Series A Pref Stock offering. 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 December 31, 2016 that would have an impact on our estimated NAV, other than the sale of 211 Main Street (sold in March 2017), 3636 McKinney Avenue and 3839 McKinney Avenue (sold in May 2017), 4649 Cole Avenue, 980 9th Street, 1010 8th Street Parking Garage & Retail and 200 S College Street (sold in June 2017), 7083 Hollywood Boulevard, 47 E. 34th Street and 4200 Scotland Street which are under contract to be sold and the private share repurchase in June 2017. The estimated NAV per share of $23.08 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 19 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. These 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. 31
