1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
CIM Commercial Trust Corporation ("CIM Commercial" or the "Company"), a Maryland corporation and real estate investment trust ("REIT"), together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("we," "us" or "our") primarily acquires, owns, and operates Class A and creative office assets in vibrant and improving metropolitan 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, positive population trends and a propensity for growth. 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 with CIM Urban REIT, LLC ("CIM REIT"), an affiliate of CIM Group, L.P. ("CIM Group" or "CIM"), 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 merger was completed on March 11, 2014 (the "Acquisition Date").
Our common stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Common Stock"), is currently traded on the Nasdaq Global Market ("Nasdaq"), under the ticker symbol "CMCT", and on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (the "TASE"), under the ticker symbol "CMCT-L." Our Series L preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Series L Preferred Stock"), is currently traded on Nasdaq and on the TASE, in each case under the ticker symbol "CMCTP." We have authorized for issuance 900,000,000 shares of common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock ("Preferred Stock").
On August 8, 2019, the Registrant announced a 1-for-3 reverse stock split on its common stock, to be effective on September 3, 2019 (the "Reverse Stock Split"). Unless otherwise stated, none of the share or per share amounts in this report reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.
CIM Commercial has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a 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 2 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 18, 2019.
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 and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. 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 18, 2019.
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.

CIM COMMERCIAL TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and
for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (Unaudited)


Investments in Real Estate—Real estate acquisitions are recorded at cost as of the acquisition date. Costs related to the acquisition of properties were expensed as incurred for acquisitions that occurred prior to October 1, 2017. For any acquisition occurring on or after October 1, 2017, we have conducted and will conduct an analysis to determine if the acquisition constitutes a business combination or an asset purchase. If the acquisition constitutes a business combination, then the transaction costs will be expensed as incurred, and if the acquisition constitutes an asset purchase, then the transaction costs will be capitalized. 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
We capitalize project costs, including pre-construction costs, interest expense, property taxes, insurance, and other costs directly related and essential to the development, redevelopment, or construction of a project, while activities are ongoing to prepare an asset for its intended use. Costs incurred after a project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use are expensed as incurred.
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 to such analysis, or on the sales comparison approach to similar properties. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of the asset's carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized impairment of long-lived assets of $2,800,000 and $69,000,000, respectively (Note 3). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized no impairment of long-lived assets.
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 the 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 by 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 12 for disclosures about our derivative financial instruments and hedging activities.
Revenue Recognition—We use a five-step model to recognize revenue for contracts with customers. The five-step model requires that we (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal

will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.
Revenue from leasing activities

We operate as a lessor of real estate assets, primarily in Class A and creative office assets. In determining whether our contracts with our tenants constitute leases, we determined that our contracts explicitly identify the premises and that any substitution rights to relocate the tenant to other premises within the same building stated in the contract are not substantive. Additionally, so long as payments are made timely under these contracts, our tenants have the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of this identified asset and can direct how and for what purpose the premises are used to conduct their operations. Therefore, our contracts with our tenants constitute leases.
All leases are classified as operating leases and minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases is recorded as deferred rent. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, we determine whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or us. When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is considered the owner of the improvements, any tenant improvement allowance that is funded is treated as an incentive. Lease incentives paid to tenants are included in other assets and amortized as a reduction to rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease.
Reimbursements from tenants, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance, and other recoverable costs, are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements are recognized and presented on a gross basis when we are primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service and control that specified good or service before it is transferred to the tenant. We have elected not to separate lease and non-lease components as the pattern of revenue recognition does not differ for the two components, and the non-lease component is not the primary component in our leases.
In addition to minimum rents, certain leases provide for additional rents based upon varying percentages of tenants’ sales in excess of annual minimums. Percentage rent is recognized once lessees’ specified sales targets have been met.
We derive parking revenues from leases with third-party operators. Our parking leases provide for additional rents based upon varying percentages of tenants’ sales in excess of annual minimums. Parking percentage rent is recognized once lessees’ specific sales targets have been met.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we recognized rental income as follows:

Revenue from lending activities
Interest income included in interest and other income is comprised of interest earned on loans and our short-term investments and the accretion of net loan origination fees and discounts. Interest income on loans is accrued as earned with the accrual of interest suspended when the related loan becomes a Non-Accrual Loan (as defined below).
Revenue from hotel activities
Hotel revenue is recognized upon establishment of a contract with a customer. At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in its contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers all of the goods or services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. Various performance obligations of hotel revenues can be categorized as follows:
cancellable and noncancelable room revenues from reservations and
ancillary services including facility usage and food or beverage.
Cancellable reservations represent a single performance obligation of providing lodging services at the hotel. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenues associated with these reservations over time as services are rendered to the customer. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenues associated with noncancelable reservations at the earlier of (i) the date on which the customer cancels the reservation or (ii) over time as services are rendered to the customer.
Ancillary services include facilities usage and providing food and beverage. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenues associated with these services at a point in time as the good or service is delivered to the customer.
At inception of these contracts with customers for hotel revenues, the contractual price is equivalent to the transaction price as there are no elements of variable consideration to estimate.
We recognized hotel income of $9,549,000 and $10,160,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $19,353,000 and $19,849,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Below is a reconciliation of the hotel revenue from contracts with customers to the total hotel segment revenue disclosed in Note 18:

Tenant recoveries outside of the lease agreements
Tenant recoveries outside of the lease agreements are related to construction projects in which our tenants have agreed to fully reimburse us for all costs related to construction. These services include architectural, permit expediter and construction services. At inception of the contract with the customer, the contractual price is equivalent to the transaction price as there are no elements of variable consideration to estimate. While these individual services are distinct, in the context of the arrangement with the customer, all of these services are bundled together and represent a single package of construction services requested by the customer. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenues associated with these services over time as the construction is completed. Amounts recognized for tenant recoveries outside of the lease agreements were $0 and $275,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $205,000 and $278,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which are included in interest and other income on the consolidated statements of

operations. As of June 30, 2019, there were no remaining performance obligations associated with tenant recoveries outside of the lease agreements.
Loans Receivable—Our loans receivable 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 is recorded as a reduction in basis of the retained portion of the loan. Unamortized retained loan discounts were $7,557,000 and $7,234,000 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
At the Acquisition Date, the carrying value of our loans was adjusted to estimated fair market value and acquisition discounts of $33,907,000 were recorded, which are being accreted to interest and other income 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. Acquisition discounts of $808,000 and $884,000 remained as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
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 interest and other income, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded $1,000 and $58,000, respectively, of impairment on our loans receivable. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded no impairment on our loans receivable. 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, deferred offering costs (Note 10) and other deferred costs. Deferred rent receivable is $18,531,000 and $52,366,000 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 $16,588,000 and $51,152,000 are presented net of accumulated amortization of $6,775,000 and $23,910,000 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Deferred offering costs represent direct costs incurred in connection with our offering of Series A Preferred Units (as defined in Note 10), excluding costs specifically identifiable to a closing, such as commissions, dealer-manager fees, and other offering fees and expenses. For a specific issuance of Series A Preferred Units, issuance-specific offering costs are recorded as a reduction of proceeds raised on the issuance date. Offering costs incurred but not directly related to a specifically identifiable closing are deferred. Deferred offering costs are first allocated to each issuance on a pro-rata basis equal to the ratio of Series A Preferred Units issued in an issuance to the maximum number of Series A Preferred Units that are expected to be issued. Then, the issuance-specific offering costs and the deferred offering costs allocated to such issuance are further allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock (as defined in Note 10) and Series A Preferred Warrants (as defined in Note 10) issued in such issuance based on the relative fair value of the instruments on the date of issuance. The deferred offering costs allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants are reductions to temporary equity and permanent equity, respectively. Deferred offering costs of $4,610,000 and $4,213,000 related to our offering of Series A Preferred Units are included in deferred rent receivable and

charges at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Other deferred costs are $204,000 and $409,000 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Redeemable Preferred Stock—Beginning on the date of original issuance of any given shares of Series A Preferred Stock (Note 10), the holder of such shares has the right to require the Company to redeem such shares at a redemption price of 100% of the Series A Preferred Stock Stated Value (as defined in Note 10), plus accrued and unpaid dividends, subject to the payment of a redemption fee until the fifth anniversary of such issuance. From and after the fifth anniversary of the date of the original issuance, the holder will have the right to require the Company to redeem such shares at a redemption price of 100% of the Series A Preferred Stock Stated Value, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, without a redemption fee, and the Company will have the right (but not the obligation) to redeem such shares at 100% of the Series A Preferred Stock Stated Value, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The applicable redemption price payable upon redemption of any Series A Preferred Stock is payable in cash or, on or after the first anniversary of the issuance of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, in the Company's sole discretion, in cash or in equal value through the issuance of shares of Common Stock, based on the volume weighted average price of our Common Stock for the 20 trading days prior to the redemption. Since a holder of Series A Preferred Stock has the right to request redemption of such shares and redemptions prior to the first anniversary are to be paid in cash, we have recorded the activity related to our Series A Preferred Stock in temporary equity. We recorded the activity related to our Series A Preferred Warrants (Note 10) in permanent equity. On the first anniversary of the date of original issuance of a particular share of Series A Preferred Stock, we reclassify such share of Series A Preferred Stock from temporary equity to permanent equity because the feature giving rise to temporary equity classification, the requirement to satisfy redemption requests in cash, lapses on the first anniversary date. Proceeds and expenses from the sale of the Series A Preferred Units are allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A Preferred Warrants using their relative fair values on the date of issuance.
From and after the fifth anniversary of the date of original issuance of the Series L Preferred Stock, each holder will have the right to require the Company to redeem, and the Company will also have the option to redeem (subject to certain conditions), such shares of Series L Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to the Series L Preferred Stock Stated Value (as defined in Note 10), plus, provided certain conditions are met, all accrued and unpaid distributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of shares of our Series L Preferred Stock may require us to redeem such shares at any time prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of original issuance of the Series L Preferred Stock if (1) we do not declare and pay in full the distributions on the Series L Preferred Stock for any annual period prior to such fifth anniversary or (2) we do not declare and pay all accrued and unpaid distributions on the Series L Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods prior to the applicable holder redemption date. The applicable redemption price payable upon redemption of any Series L Preferred Stock will be made, in the Company's sole discretion, in the form of (A) cash in Israeli new shekels ("ILS") at the then-current currency exchange rate determined in accordance with the Articles Supplementary defining the terms of the Series L Preferred Stock, (B) in equal value through the issuance of shares of Common Stock, with the value of such Common Stock to be deemed the lower of (i) our net asset value ("NAV") per share of our Common Stock as most recently published by the Company as of the effective date of redemption and (ii) the volume-weighted average price of our Common Stock, determined in accordance with the Articles Supplementary defining the terms of the Series L Preferred Stock, or (C) in a combination of cash in ILS and our Common Stock, based on the conversion mechanisms set forth in (A) and (B), respectively. We recorded the activity related to our Series L Preferred Stock in permanent equity.
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 capital expenditures, free rent, tenant improvement and leasing commission obligations. Restricted cash also includes cash required to be segregated in connection with certain of our loans receivable.
Reclassifications—Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. With the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and the election of the lessor practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components, $2,940,000 and $4,391,000 of expense reimbursements were reclassified as rental and other property income on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and $411,000 and $569,000 of non-lease component expense reimbursements recognized under the revenue recognition guidance were reclassified as interest and other income on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Under the new leasing guidance, bad debt expense associated with changes in the collectability assessment for operating leases shall be recorded as adjustments to rental and other property income rather than rental and other property operating expenses. The impact of this

reclassification resulted in a $15,000 and $119,000 reclassification from rental and other property expenses to rental and other property income on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations—In the ordinary course of business, we may periodically enter into agreements to dispose of our assets. Some of these agreements are non-binding because either they do not obligate either party to pursue any transactions until the execution of a definitive agreement or they provide the potential buyer with the ability to terminate without penalty or forfeiture of any material deposit, subject to certain specified contingencies, such as completion of due diligence at the discretion of such buyer. We do not classify assets that are subject to such non-binding agreements as held for sale.
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 generally believe that we meet these criteria when the plan for sale has been approved by our 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 real estate on 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.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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 is required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with previous GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily depends on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike previous GAAP, which required a lessee to recognize only capital leases on the balance sheet, the new ASU requires a lessee to recognize both types of leases on the balance sheet. The lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from previous 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. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Leases (Topic 842), which contained targeted improvements to amend inconsistencies and clarify guidance that were brought about by stakeholders. Furthermore, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), which provided the following practical expedients to entities: (1) a transition method that allows entities to apply the new standard at the adoption date and to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings effective at the adoption date; and (2) the option for lessors to not separate lease and non-lease components provided that certain criteria are met. In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842), which provides lessors the option to elect to account for sales and other similar taxes in which the lessee directly pays third parties to be excluded from the measurement of the contract consideration. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842), which provided narrow amendments, including clarification on transition disclosures to certain aspects of ASU 2016-02. For public entities, these ASUs

CIM COMMERCIAL TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and

are effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2018.
The guidance provides a package of transition practical expedients, which must be elected as a package and applied consistently by an entity to all of its leases (including those for which the entity is a lessee or a lessor) when applying this guidance to leases that commenced before the effective date of January 1, 2019: (1) An entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) an entity need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases (that is, all leases that were classified as operating leases prior to January 1, 2019 remain classified as operating leases); and (3) an entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company has elected all the aforementioned transition practical expedients, including the expedients provided under ASU 2018-11.

From a lessee's perspective, the Company has determined that there is one office lease for our lending segment that is material to the consolidated balance sheet. Based on our assessment, the lease has been classified as an operating lease and the Company recorded approximately $362,000 as a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet on the effective date of January 1, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, the right-of-use asset and lease liability balance was approximately $234,000.

From a lessor's perspective, the Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment on January 1, 2019 as the aforementioned package of practical expedients allows us to continue accounting for our then-existing or expired leases under the previous accounting guidance, and we have and will apply the new lease accounting guidance to leases that commence or are modified after the effective date of January 1, 2019. Leases commenced or modified after the effective date have been, and we expect future commencements and modifications of leases in the future will continue to be, classified as operating leases and that we will qualify for the lessor practical expedient provided under ASU 2018-11 to not separate lease and non-lease components. Additionally, if following the effective date, our tenants have made or make payments for taxes or insurance directly to a third-party on behalf of the Company as the lessor, we have excluded and will exclude these amounts from the measurement of the contract consideration and consider these lessee costs. Otherwise, any recoveries of these costs are and will be recognized as lease revenue on a gross basis in our consolidated income statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity. The amendments in the ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which clarified that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of the credit losses standards. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which clarified the following: (i) an entity’s estimate of expected credit losses should include expected recoveries of financial assets, including recoveries of amounts expected to be written off and those previously written off, and (ii) an entity should consider contractual extension or renewal options that it cannot unconditionally cancel when determining the contractual term over which expected credit losses are measured. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief, which allows entities to irrevocably elect the fair value option for existing financial assets on an instrument-by-instrument basis upon adoption of ASU 2016-13. Except for existing held-to-maturity debt securities, the alternative is available for all instruments in the scope of ASC 326-20 that are eligible for the fair value option in ASC 825-10. If an entity elects the fair value option, it will recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment for the difference between the fair value of the instrument and its carrying value. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted 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 August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which simplifies and expands the eligible hedging strategies for financial and nonfinancial risks by more closely aligning hedge accounting with a company’s risk management activities, and also simplifies the application of Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, through targeted improvements in key practice areas. In addition, the ASU prescribes how hedging results should be presented and requires incremental disclosures. Further, the ASU provides partial relief on the timing of certain aspects of

hedge documentation and eliminates the requirement to recognize hedge ineffectiveness separately in earnings in the current period. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has evaluated the guidance and determined that the effects of ASU 2017-12 do not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but public entities will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the ASU. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (the “SOFR”) Overnight Index Swap (“OIS”) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. The guidance permits the use of the OIS rate based on the SOFR as a U.S. benchmark rate for purposes of applying hedge accounting.  The SOFR is a volume-weighted median interest rate that is calculated daily based on overnight transactions from the prior day’s activity in specified segments of the U.S. Treasury repo market. It has been selected as the preferred replacement for the U.S. dollar London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), which will be phased out by the end of 2021. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the ASU. The Company has evaluated the guidance and determined that the effects of ASU 2018-16 do not have a material impact 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 acquired above-market and below-market leases, in-place leases and 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.
2019 Transactions—There were no acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

2018 Transactions—On January 18, 2018, we acquired a 100% fee-simple interest in an office property known as 9460 Wilshire Boulevard from an unrelated third-party. The property has approximately 68,866 square feet of office space and 22,884 square feet of retail space and is located in Beverly Hills, California. The acquisition was funded with proceeds from our Series L Preferred Stock offering, and the acquired property is reported as part of the office segment (Note 18). We performed an analysis and, based on our analysis, we determined this acquisition was an asset purchase and not a business combination. As such, transaction costs were capitalized as incurred in connection with this acquisition.

Assets Held for Sale

As noted above, in March 2019, we sold a 100% fee-simple interest in an office property located at 260 Townsend Street in San Francisco, California to an unrelated third-party. The office property had been classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2018, as the purchase and sale agreement was entered into and became subject to a non-refundable deposit prior to December 31, 2018.

In connection with our negotiation of an agreement with an unrelated third-party for the sale of 100% fee-simple interests in two office properties located at 899 and 999 N Capitol Street and one development site located at 901 N Capitol Street, all in Washington, D.C., we determined that the book values of such properties exceeded their estimated fair values and recognized an impairment charge of $66,200,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 under the held-and-used impairment model. Following our signing the agreement for the sale of the aforementioned properties and our receipt of a non-refundable deposit in respect of their sale in June 2019, such properties were classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2019 and

we recognized an additional impairment charge of $2,800,000 under the held-for-sale impairment model. As such, $2,800,000 and $69,000,000 was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Our determination of the fair values of these properties was based on negotiations with the third-party buyer and the contract sales price. The sale of such properties closed in July 2019 and we expect to recognize a gain on sale of approximately $200,000.

SBA 7(a) Loans Receivable, Subject to Loan-Backed Notes—Represents the unguaranteed portions of loans originated under the SBA 7(a) Program which were transferred to a trust and are held as collateral in connection with a securitization transaction. The proceeds received from the transfer are reflected as loan-backed notes payable (Note 7).
SBA 7(a) Loans Receivable, Subject to Credit Risk—Represents the unguaranteed portions of loans originated under the SBA 7(a) Program which were retained by the Company and the government guaranteed portions of such loans that have not yet been fully funded or sold.
SBA 7(a) Loans Receivable, Subject to Secured Borrowings—Represents the government guaranteed portions of loans originated under the SBA 7(a) Program which were sold with the proceeds received from the sale reflected as secured borrowings—government guaranteed loans. There is no credit risk associated with these loans since the SBA has guaranteed payment of the principal.
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 99.9% and 99.7%, respectively, of our loans subject to credit risk were current. We classify loans with negative characteristics in substandard categories ranging from special mention to doubtful. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $584,000 and $235,000, respectively, of loans subject to credit risk were classified in substandard categories.

Secured borrowings—government guaranteed loans 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. These loans included cash premiums that are amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the life of the loan using the effective interest method and are fully amortized when the underlying loan is repaid in full.
SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes are secured by deeds of trust or mortgages.

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 $4,535,000 and $5,994,000 are presented net of accumulated amortization of $951,000 and $876,000 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and are a reduction to total debt.
In September 2014, CIM Commercial entered into an $850,000,000 unsecured credit facility with a bank syndicate which consisted of a $450,000,000 revolver, a $325,000,000 term loan and a $75,000,000 delayed-draw term loan. Outstanding advances under the revolver bore 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 bore 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. Our unsecured credit facility matured on September 30, 2018.
In May 2015, CIM Commercial entered into an unsecured term loan facility with a bank syndicate pursuant to which CIM Commercial could borrow up to a maximum of $385,000,000. Outstanding advances under the term loan facility bore 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, which interest rate was effectively converted to a fixed rate of 3.16% through interest rate swaps. The term loan facility had a maturity date in May 2022. On November 2, 2015, $385,000,000 was drawn under the term loan facility. Proceeds from the term loan facility were used to repay balances outstanding under our unsecured credit facility. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we repaid $215,000,000 of outstanding borrowings on our unsecured term loan facility. In connection with such paydowns, we wrote off deferred loan costs of $1,988,000 and related accumulated amortization of $705,000, a proportionate amount to the borrowings being repaid. On October 30, 2018, we repaid and terminated the $170,000,000 of outstanding borrowings on our unsecured term loan facility using proceeds from our new revolving credit facility (as described below). In connection with such paydown and termination, we wrote off the remaining deferred loan costs of $1,872,000 and related accumulated amortization of $1,064,000.
In June 2016, we entered into six mortgage loan agreements with an aggregate principal amount of $392,000,000. A portion of the net proceeds from the loans was used to repay outstanding balances under our unsecured credit facility and the remaining portion was used to repurchase shares of our Common Stock in a private repurchase in September 2016. On September 21, 2017, in connection with the sale of an office property in Los Angeles, California, one mortgage loan with an outstanding principal balance of $21,700,000, collateralized by such property, was assumed by the buyer. On March 1, 2019, additional mortgage loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $205,500,000 at such time, were legally defeased in connection with the sale of the related properties. The cash outlay required for the defeasance in the net amount of $224,086,000 was based on the purchase price of U.S. government securities that will generate sufficient cash flow to fund continued interest payments on the loans from the effective date of the defeasance through the date on which we could repay the loans at par. As a result of the defeasance, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0 and $19,290,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, which represents the sum of the difference between the purchase price of U.S. government securities of $224,086,000 and the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loans of $205,500,000, the write-off of deferred loan costs of $637,000 and related accumulated amortization of $170,000, and transaction costs of $237,000. On March 14, 2019, in connection with the sale of an office property in San Francisco, California, one mortgage loan with an outstanding principal balance of $28,200,000 at such time was assumed by the buyer. As a result of this assumption, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0 and $178,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, which represents the write-off of deferred loan costs of $243,000 and related accumulated amortization of $65,000. On May 16, 2019, one mortgage loan with an outstanding principal balance of $39,500,000 at such time, was legally defeased in connection with the sale of the related property. The cash outlay required for the defeasance in the net amount of $44,108,000 was based on the purchase price of U.S. government securities that will generate sufficient cash flow to fund continued interest payments on the loan from the effective date of the defeasance through the date on which we could repay the loan at par. As a result of the defeasance, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $4,911,000 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, which represents the sum of the difference between the purchase price of U.S. government securities of $44,108,000 and the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan of $39,500,000, the write-off of deferred loan costs of $287,000 and related accumulated amortization of $82,000, and transaction costs of $98,000.

On May 30, 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 securitization uses a trust formed for the benefit of the note holders (the "Trust") which is considered a variable interest entity ("VIE"). Applying the consolidation requirements for VIEs under the accounting rules in ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, the Company determined

that it is the primary beneficiary based on its power to direct activities through its role as servicer and its obligations to absorb losses and right to receive benefits. The SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes are collateralized solely by the right to receive payments and other recoveries attributable to the unguaranteed portions of certain of our SBA 7(a) loans receivable. The SBA 7(a) loan-backed 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 SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes to be approximately two years. The SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes bear interest at the lower of the one-month LIBOR plus 1.40% or the prime rate less 1.08%. We reflect the SBA 7(a) loans receivable as assets on our consolidated balance sheets and the SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes as debt on our consolidated balance sheets. The restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 included $1,756,000 and $3,174,000, respectively, of funds related to our SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes.

In October 2018, CIM Commercial entered into a revolving credit facility with a bank syndicate pursuant to which CIM Commercial can borrow up to a maximum of $250,000,000, subject to a borrowing base calculation. The revolving credit facility is secured by deeds of trust on certain properties. Outstanding advances under the revolving credit facility bear interest at (i) the base rate plus 0.55% or (ii) LIBOR plus 1.55%. At December 31, 2018, the variable interest rate was 4.07%. The interest rate on the first $120,000,000 of one-month LIBOR indexed variable rate borrowings on our revolving credit facility was effectively converted to a fixed rate of 3.11% through interest rate swaps until such swaps were terminated on March 11, 2019. The revolving credit facility is also subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.15% or 0.25% depending on the amount of aggregate unused commitments. The revolving credit facility matures in October 2022 and provides for one one-year extension option under certain conditions. We expect the revolving credit facility to remain in place following the Program to Unlock Embedded Value in Our Portfolio and Improve Trading Liquidity of Our Common Stock, as defined in "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. On October 30, 2018, we borrowed $170,000,000 on this facility to repay outstanding borrowings on our unsecured term loan facility. On December 28, 2018, we repaid $40,000,000 of outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility and we terminated one interest rate swap with a notional value of $50,000,000 (Note 12). On February 28, 2019 and March 11, 2019, we repaid $10,000,000 and $120,000,000, respectively, of outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility using cash on hand and net proceeds from the 2019 asset sales (Note 3), and, in connection with the March 11, 2019 repayment, we terminated our two remaining interest rate swaps, which had an aggregate notional value of $120,000,000 (Note 12). At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $0 and $130,000,000, respectively, was outstanding under the revolving credit facility, and approximately $210,000,000 and $91,000,000, respectively, was available for future borrowings. The revolving credit facility is not subject to any financial covenants, but is subject to a borrowing base calculation that determines the amount we can borrow.

On March 1, 2019, in connection with the sale of an office property in Washington, D.C., we prepaid the related mortgage loan with an outstanding principal balance of $46,000,000 at such time, using proceeds from the sale. As a result, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0 and $5,603,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, which represents a prepayment penalty of $5,325,000 and the write-off of deferred loan costs of $537,000 and related accumulated amortization of $259,000.
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, accrued interest and unused commitment fees payable of $571,000 and $1,574,000, respectively, are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Principal payments on secured borrowings and SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes, which are included in Other, are generally dependent upon cash flows received from the underlying loans. Our estimate of their repayment is based on scheduled payments on the underlying loans. Our estimate will differ from actual amounts to the extent we experience prepayments and or loan liquidations or charge-offs. No payment is due unless payments are received from the borrowers on the underlying loans.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
In June 2017, we granted awards of 3,195 restricted shares of Common Stock to each of the independent members of the Board of Directors (9,585 in aggregate) under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which fully vested in June 2018 based on one year of continuous service. In May 2018, we granted awards of 3,378 restricted shares of Common Stock to each of the independent members of the Board of Directors (10,134 in aggregate) under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which fully vested in May 2019 based on one year of continuous service. In May 2019, we granted awards of 2,667 restricted shares of Common Stock to each of the independent members of the Board of Directors (10,668 in aggregate) under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which vest after one year of continuous service. Compensation expense related to these restricted shares of Common Stock is recognized over the vesting period. We recorded compensation expense related to these restricted shares of Common Stock in the amount of $44,000 and $48,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $82,000 and $86,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
As of June 30, 2019, there was $167,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted shares of Common Stock which will be recognized over the next year.
In July 2019, we granted awards of 245 restricted shares of Common Stock to each of the independent members of the Board of Directors (980 in aggregate) under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which will vest at the same time as the restricted shares of Common Stock granted in May 2019.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS")
The computations of basic EPS are based on our weighted average shares outstanding. The basic weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding was 43,791,000 and 43,791,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 43,793,000 and 43,788,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In order to calculate the diluted weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the basic weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding was increased by 2,062,000 and 2,011,000, respectively, to reflect the dilutive effect of our Series A Preferred Stock. The computation of diluted EPS does not include outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 because their impact was deemed to be anti-dilutive.

for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 because their impact was either anti-dilutive or such warrants were not exercisable during such periods (Note 11). Outstanding shares of Series L Preferred Stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 because such shares were not redeemable during such periods.
EPS for the year-to-date period may differ from the sum of quarterly EPS amounts due to the required method for computing EPS in the respective periods. In addition, EPS is calculated independently for each component and may not be additive due to rounding.

10. REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
Series A Preferred Stock—We have an effective registration statement with the SEC with respect to the offer and sale of up to $900,000,000 of units (collectively, the "Series A Preferred Units"), with each Series A Preferred Unit consisting of (i) one share of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (collectively, the "Series A Preferred Stock") with an initial stated value of $25.00 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock Stated Value"), subject to adjustment, and (ii) one warrant (collectively, the "Series A Preferred Warrants") to purchase 0.25 of a share of Common Stock (Note 11). The registration statement allows us to sell up to a maximum of 36,000,000 Series A Preferred Units. Our Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to our Common Stock with respect to payment of dividends and distributions of amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Proceeds and expenses from the sale of the Series A Preferred Units are allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants using their relative fair values on the date of issuance.
Our Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holder (the "Series A Preferred Stock Holder") or CIM Commercial. The redemption schedule of the Series A Preferred Stock allows redemptions at the option of the Series A Preferred Stock Holder from the date of original issuance of any given shares of Series A Preferred Stock through the second year at the Series A Preferred Stock Stated Value, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, subject to the payment of a 13.0% redemption fee. After year two, the redemption fee decreases to 10.0% and after year five there is no redemption fee. Also, CIM Commercial has the right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock after year five at the Series A Preferred Stock Stated Value,

plus accrued and unpaid dividends. At the Company's discretion, redemptions will be paid in cash or, on or after the first anniversary of the issuance of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, an equal value of Common Stock based on the volume weighted average price of our Common Stock for the 20 trading days prior to the redemption.
As of June 30, 2019, we had issued 3,614,493 Series A Preferred Units and received gross proceeds of $90,362,000 ($90,006,000 of which were allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and the remaining $356,000 were allocated to the Series A Preferred Warrants). In connection with such issuance, costs specifically identifiable to the offering of Series A Preferred Units, such as commissions, dealer manager fees and other offering fees and expenses, totaled $7,153,000 ($7,042,000 of which were allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and the remaining $111,000 were allocated to the Series A Preferred Warrants). In addition, as of June 30, 2019, non-issuance-specific costs related to this offering totaled $5,087,000. As of June 30, 2019, we have reclassified and allocated $476,000 and $1,000 from deferred rent receivable and charges to Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants, respectively, as a reduction to the gross proceeds received. Such reclassification was based on the cumulative number of Series A Preferred Units issued relative to the maximum number of Series A Preferred Units expected to be issued under the offering. As of June 30, 2019, 12,772 shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been redeemed.
On the first anniversary of the date of original issuance of a particular share of Series A Preferred Stock, we reclassify such share of Series A Preferred Stock from temporary equity to permanent equity because the feature giving rise to temporary equity classification, the requirement to satisfy redemption requests in cash, lapses on the first anniversary date. As of June 30, 2019, we have reclassified an aggregate of $49,019,000 in net proceeds from temporary equity to permanent equity.
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, if, as and when authorized by our Board of Directors, and declared by us out of legally available funds, cumulative cash dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock at an annual rate of 5.5% of the Series A Preferred Stock Stated Value (i.e., the equivalent of $0.34375 per share per quarter). Dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock begin accruing on, and are cumulative from, the date of issuance. Cash dividends declared on our Series A Preferred Stock for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 consist of the following:

On August 8, 2019, we declared a cash dividend of $0.34375 per share of our Series A Preferred Stock, or portion thereof for issuances during the period from July 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019, to be paid on October 15, 2019 to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on October 7, 2019.
Series L Preferred Stock—On November 21, 2017, we issued 8,080,740 shares of Series L Preferred Stock having an initial stated value of $28.37 per share ("Series L Preferred Stock Stated Value"), subject to adjustment. We received gross proceeds of $229,251,000 from the sale of the Series L Preferred Stock, which was reduced by issuance-specific offering costs, such as commissions, dealer manager fees, and other offering fees and expenses, totaling $15,928,000, a discount of $2,946,000, and non-issuance-specific costs of $2,532,000. These fees have been recorded as a reduction to the gross proceeds in permanent equity.
Our Series L Preferred Stock ranks senior to our Common Stock with respect to distributions of amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up and junior to our Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends. From and after the fifth anniversary of the date of original issuance of the Series L Preferred Stock, each holder will have the right to require the Company to redeem, and the Company will also have the option to redeem (subject to certain conditions), such shares of Series L Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to the Series L Preferred Stock Stated Value, plus, provided certain conditions are met, all accrued and unpaid distributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of shares of our Series L Preferred Stock may require us to redeem such shares at any time prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of original issuance of the Series L Preferred Stock if (1) we do not declare and pay in full the distribution on the Series L Preferred Stock for any annual period prior to such fifth anniversary or (2) we do not declare and pay all accrued and unpaid distributions on the Series L Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods prior to the applicable holder redemption date.

applicable redemption price payable upon redemption of any Series L Preferred Stock will be made, in the Company's sole discretion, in the form of (A) cash in ILS at the then-current currency exchange rate determined in accordance with the Articles Supplementary defining the terms of the Series L Preferred Stock, (B) in equal value through the issuance of shares of Common Stock, with the value of such Common Stock to be deemed the lower of (i) the NAV per share of our Common Stock as most recently published by the Company as of the effective date of redemption and (ii) the volume-weighted average price of our Common Stock, determined in accordance with the Articles Supplementary defining the terms of the Series L Preferred Stock, or (C) in a combination of cash in ILS and our Common Stock, based on the conversion mechanisms set forth in (A) and (B), respectively. As of June 30, 2019, no shares of Series L Preferred Stock have been redeemed.
Holders of Series L Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, if, as and when authorized by our Board of Directors, and declared by us out of legally available funds, cumulative cash dividends on each share of Series L Preferred Stock at an annual rate of 5.5% of the Series L Preferred Stock Stated Value (i.e., the equivalent of $1.56035 per share per year). Dividends on each share of Series L Preferred Stock began accruing on, and are cumulative from, the date of issuance. Cash dividends on shares of Series L Preferred Stock are paid annually, with the first distribution paid in January 2019 for the period from the date of issuance through December 31, 2018. If the Company fails to timely declare distributions or fails to timely pay distributions on the Series L Preferred Stock, the annual dividend rate of the Series L Preferred Stock will temporarily increase by 1.0% per year, up to a maximum rate of 8.5%. Accumulated cash dividends on our Series L Preferred Stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, are included in the numerator for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders per share (Note 9), and consist of the following:

Until the fifth anniversary of the date of original issuance of our Series L Preferred Stock, we are prohibited from issuing any shares of preferred stock ranking senior to or on parity with the Series L Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends, other distributions, liquidation, and or dissolution or winding up of the Company unless the Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, calculated in accordance with the Articles Supplementary describing the Series L Preferred Stock, is equal to or greater than 1.25:1.00. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we were in compliance with the Series L Preferred Stock Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.

As previously announced, in connection with the Program to Unlock Embedded Value in Our Portfolio and Improve Trading Liquidity of Our Common Stock, as defined in "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our board of directors reevaluated our dividend policy. As a result of such review, our board of directors established a new quarterly dividend rate of $0.025 per share of our Common Stock and, on August 8, 2019, we declared a cash dividend of $0.025 per share of our Common Stock (which will be equal to $0.075 per share of our Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split), to be paid on September 18, 2019 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 6, 2019.

On August 8, 2019, in connection with the Program to Unlock Embedded Value in Our Portfolio and Improve Trading Liquidity of Our Common Stock, we declared a special cash dividend of $14.00 per share of Common Stock (the “Special Dividend”), or $613,294,000 in the aggregate, that will be paid on August 30, 2019 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 19, 2019. The Special Dividend will be funded primarily by the net proceeds (after the repayment of debt) received from the sale of ten properties during 2019 (Note 3) and borrowings on our revolving credit facility. Also on August 8, 2019, we announced the Reverse Stock Split, which will become effective at 12:01 a.m. on September 3, 2019. Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, every three shares of Common Stock held by a stockholder immediately prior to the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split will be converted into one share of Common Stock. Fractional shares of Common Stock will not be 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 will receive an amount in cash equal to the product of the fraction of a share multiplied by the September 3, 2019 closing price of the Common Stock on Nasdaq.

On December 18, 2017, we declared a special cash dividend of $0.73 per share of Common Stock, or $1,575,000 in the aggregate, that was paid on January 11, 2018 to stockholders of record on December 29, 2017. This special cash dividend allowed common stockholders that did not participate in the December 18, 2017 private repurchase to receive the economic benefit of such repurchase. Pursuant to the December 18, 2017 private repurchase, the Company repurchased in a privately negotiated transaction, canceled and retired 14,090,909 shares of Common Stock from Urban Partners II, LLC ("Urban II"), a fund managed by an affiliate of CIM Group, the Administrator and the Operator of CIM Commercial (each as defined in Note 14), and an affiliate of CIM REIT and CIM Urban, for an aggregate purchase price of $310,000,000, or $22.00 per share. Urban II waived its right to receive the January 11, 2018 special cash dividend.
Series A Preferred Warrants

Each Series A Preferred Unit consists of (i) one share of Series A Preferred Stock (Note 10) and (ii) one Series A Preferred Warrant (Note 10) which allows the holder to purchase 0.25 of a share of Common Stock. The Series A Preferred Warrants are exercisable beginning on the first anniversary of the date of their original issuance until and including the fifth anniversary of the date of such issuance. The exercise price of each Series A Preferred Warrant is at a 15.0% premium to the per share estimated NAV of our Common Stock (as most recently published and designated as the Applicable NAV by us at the time of each issuance of Series A Preferred Warrants). At the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, the exercise price of each outstanding Series A Preferred Warrant will automatically increase to three times the exercise price of such warrant immediately prior to the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such warrant will automatically be adjusted to one-third of 0.25 (or approximately 0.0833) of a share of Common Stock. Further, the Company intends to reduce the strike price of each outstanding Series A Preferred Warrant to account for the effect of the Special Dividend.
Proceeds and expenses from the sale of the Series A Preferred Units are allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants using their relative fair values on the date of issuance. As of June 30, 2019, we had issued 3,614,493 Series A Preferred Warrants in connection with our offering of Series A Preferred Units and allocated net proceeds of $244,000, after specifically identifiable offering costs and allocated general offering costs, to the Series A Preferred Warrants in permanent equity.

12. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
In order to manage financing costs and interest rate exposure related to the one-month LIBOR indexed variable rate borrowings, on August 13, 2015, we entered into ten interest rate swap agreements with multiple counterparties totaling $385,000,000 of notional value. These swap agreements became effective on November 2, 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we repaid $215,000,000 of outstanding one-month LIBOR indexed variable rate borrowings and we terminated seven interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $215,000,000, for which we received termination payments, net of fees, of $973,000. On December 28, 2018, we repaid $40,000,000 of outstanding one-month LIBOR indexed variable rate borrowings and we terminated one interest rate swap with a notional value of $50,000,000, for which we received a termination payment, net of fees, of $684,000. On March 11, 2019, we repaid $120,000,000 of outstanding one-month LIBOR indexed variable rate borrowings (Note 7) and we terminated our two remaining interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $120,000,000, for which we received aggregate termination payments, net of fees, of $1,302,000. The fair value of our two remaining swaps at the time of termination was $1,421,000 resulting in a net loss of $0 and $119,000, which was recorded as a net increase to interest expense on our consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.
Each of our interest rate swap agreements initially met the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting treatment and we had designated the interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges of the risk of variability attributable to changes in the one-month LIBOR. Accordingly, the interest rate swaps were recorded on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value, and prior to August 1, 2018, the changes in the fair value of the swaps were recorded in OCI and reclassified to earnings as an adjustment to interest expense as interest became receivable or payable (Note 2). On July 31, 2018, we determined the hedged forecasted transaction was no longer probable of occurring so all subsequent changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps were included in interest expense on our consolidated statements of operations. The balance in AOCI as of July 31, 2018 was reclassified to earnings as an adjustment to interest expense on our consolidated statements of operations as the originally designated forecasted transaction affected earnings. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, $0 and $1,806,000, respectively, was reclassified from AOCI and decreased interest expense on our consolidated statements of operations, which included a write off of $1,580,000 at the time our two remaining interest rate swaps were terminated. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, there was no reclassification from AOCI to interest expense on our consolidated statements of operations. Beginning on August 1, 2018, changes in the fair value of the swaps were recorded in interest expense on our consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, $0 and $209,000, respectively, was included as an increase in interest expense on our consolidated statements of operations related to the change in the fair value of our interest rate swaps. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, there was no interest expense on our consolidated statements of operations related to the change in the fair value of our interest rate swaps.
Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features
Each of our interest rate swap agreements contained a provision under which we could also be declared in default under such agreements if we defaulted on the revolving credit facility or if we defaulted on the term loan facility. As of March 11, 2019, the date of termination of such swaps, and December 31, 2018, there have been no events of default under our interest rate swap agreements.

The amounts from AOCI were reclassified as a decrease to interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations.
Reclassifications from AOCI
As of July 31, 2018, the hedged forecasted transaction was no longer probable of occurring so the interest rate swaps were no longer eligible for hedge accounting and all future changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps were recorded in interest expense on our consolidated statements of operations and no further amounts were deferred into AOCI. The balance in AOCI as of July 31, 2018 was reclassified to earnings as an adjustment to interest expense on our consolidated statements of operations as the originally designated forecasted transaction affected earnings. On March 11, 2019, the remaining balance in AOCI was reclassified to earnings as a decrease to interest expense on our consolidated statements of operations in connection with the termination of our two remaining interest rate swaps.

13. 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.

Interest Rate Swaps—We estimated 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 incorporated the contractual terms of the derivatives, observable market interest rates which we considered to be Level 2 inputs, and credit risk adjustments, if any, to reflect the counterparty's as well as our own nonperformance risk.

The December 31, 2018 carrying amount and estimated fair value of mortgages payable exclude one mortgage loan with carrying value of $28,018,000 that had been classified as liabilities associated with assets held for sale, net, on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 (Notes 3 and 7).
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 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—government guaranteed loans, SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes and revolving credit facility approximate their fair values, as the interest rates on these securities are variable and approximate current market interest rates.
SBA 7(a) Loans Receivable, Subject to Loan-Backed Notes—These loans receivable represent the unguaranteed portions of loans originated under the SBA 7(a) Program which were transferred to a trust and are held as collateral in connection with a securitization transaction. The proceeds from the transfer have been recorded as SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes payable. In order to determine the estimated fair value of these loans receivable, we use a present value technique for the anticipated future cash flows using certain assumptions. At June 30, 2019, our assumptions included discount rates ranging from 7.75% to 9.50% and prepayment rates ranging from 12.10% to 17.50%. At December 31, 2018, our assumptions included discount rates ranging from 6.75% to 9.25% and prepayment rates ranging from 9.59% to 17.50%.
SBA 7(a) 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 June 30, 2019, our assumptions included discount rates ranging from 7.25% to 10.00% and prepayment rates ranging from 8.03% to 17.50%. At December 31, 2018, our assumptions included discount rates ranging from 6.75% to 9.75% and prepayment rates ranging from 4.91% to 17.50%.
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.  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. At June 30, 2019, our assumptions included discount rates ranging from 9.00% to 9.75% and prepayment rates ranging from and 10.29% to 17.50%. At December 31, 2018, our assumptions included discount rates ranging from 8.75% to 9.50% and prepayment rates ranging from and 10.29% to 17.50%.
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 a rate of 3.81% at June 30, 2019, and rates ranging from 4.62% to 4.64% at December 31, 2018.
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 6.57% and 7.05% at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

On March 11, 2014, CIM Commercial and its subsidiaries entered into a master services agreement (the "Master Services Agreement") with CIM Service Provider, LLC (the "Administrator"), an affiliate of CIM Group, pursuant to which the Administrator has agreed to provide, or arrange for other service providers to provide, management and administration services to CIM Commercial and its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, we appointed an affiliate of CIM Group as the administrator of Urban Partners GP, LLC. Under the Master Services Agreement, CIM Commercial pays a base service fee (the "Base Service Fee") to the Administrator 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.

June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, for such services which are included in asset management and other fees to related parties. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $1,022,000 and $1,490,000 was due to the Administrator, 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. The agreement 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 June 30, 2019 and 2018, we incurred expenses related to services subject to reimbursement by us under this agreement of $551,000 and $639,000, respectively, which are included in asset management and other fees to related parties for lending segment costs, and $54,000 and $78,000, respectively, for corporate services, which are included in asset management and other fees to related parties. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we incurred expenses related to such services of $1,188,000 and $1,240,000, respectively, which are included in asset management and other fees to related parties for lending segment costs, and $131,000 and $145,000, respectively, for corporate services, which are included in asset management and other fees to related parties. In addition, we deferred personnel costs of $44,000 and $88,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $50,000 and $136,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, associated with services provided for originating loans. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $612,000 and $1,347,000, respectively, was due to CIM SBA for costs and expenses of providing such personnel and resources.
On May 10, 2018, the Company executed a wholesaling agreement (the "Wholesaling Agreement") with International Assets Advisors, LLC ("IAA") and CCO Capital, LLC ("CCO Capital"). IAA was the exclusive dealer manager for the Company’s public offering of Series A Preferred Units until May 31, 2019. CCO Capital is a registered broker dealer and is under common control with the Operator and the Administrator. Under the Wholesaling Agreement, among other things, CCO Capital, in its capacity as the wholesaler for the offering, assisted IAA with the sale of Series A Preferred Units. In exchange for such services, IAA paid CCO Capital a fee equal to 2.75% of the selling price of each Series A Preferred Unit for which a sale was completed, reduced by any applicable fee reallowances payable to soliciting dealers pursuant to separate soliciting dealer agreements between IAA and soliciting dealers. The foregoing fee was reduced, and could have been exceeded, by a fixed monthly payment by CCO Capital to IAA for IAA’s services in connection with periodic closings and settlements for the offering.

On May 31, 2019, the Company, IAA and CCO Capital entered into an Amendment, Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”), pursuant to which CCO Capital assumed all of the rights and obligations of IAA under the dealer manager agreement, dated as of June 28, 2016, as amended, by and between the Company and IAA. As a result of the Assignment Agreement, CCO Capital became the exclusive dealer manager for the Company’s public offering of the Series A Preferred Units effective as of May 31, 2019. In connection with the execution of the Assignment Agreement, the Company terminated the Wholesaling Agreement effective as of May 31, 2019. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $386,000 and $200,000, respectively, was included in deferred costs for CCO Capital fees, of which $133,000 and $138,000, respectively, was included in due to related parties. CCO Capital incurred issuance-specific costs of $102,000, which were allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
Other

We recorded rental and other property income related to this tenant of $28,000 and $27,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $55,000 and $54,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

On May 15, 2019, CIM Group entered into an approximately eleven-year lease for approximately 32,000 rentable square feet with respect to a property owned by the Company. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded rental and other property income related to this tenant of $206,000. The lease was amended on August 7, 2019 to reduce the rentable square feet to approximately 30,000 rentable square feet.

15. 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 to fund loans were $7,607,000 at June 30, 2019 and are 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 $9,716,000 in future obligations under leases to fund tenant improvements and other future construction obligations at June 30, 2019, which excludes $396,000 related to assets held for sale, net, at June 30, 2019. At June 30, 2019, $2,813,000 was funded to reserve accounts included in restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheet for these tenant improvement obligations in connection with the mortgage loan agreements entered into in June 2016.
Employment Agreements—We have employment agreements with two of our officers. Under certain circumstances, each of these employment agreements 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.
Litigation—We are not currently involved in any material pending or threatened legal proceedings nor, to our knowledge, are any material legal proceedings 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 business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations or to maintain our level of distributions on our Common Stock or Preferred Stock.
In September 2018, we filed a lawsuit against the City and County of San Francisco seeking a refund of the $11,845,000 in penalties, interest and legal fees paid by us for real property transfer tax allegedly due for a transaction in a prior year. We disputed that such penalties, interest and legal fees were payable but, in order to contest the asserted tax obligations, we had to pay such amounts to the City and County of San Francisco in August 2017. We intend to vigorously pursue this litigation.
A subsidiary of the Company is a defendant in a lawsuit in connection with injuries sustained by a third-party contractor at a property previously owned by such subsidiary. While it is possible that a loss may be incurred, we are unable to estimate a range of potential losses due to the complexity and current status of the lawsuit. However, we maintain insurance coverage to mitigate the impact of adverse exposures in lawsuits of this nature and do not expect this lawsuit to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations or to maintain our level of distributions on our Common Stock or Preferred Stock.

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 business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations or to maintain our level of distributions on our Common Stock or Preferred Stock.
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 business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations or to maintain our level of distributions on our Common Stock or Preferred Stock.

Rent Expense—We lease office space in Dallas, Texas under a lease which, as amended, expires in May 2020. In determining whether this contract constitutes a lease, we determined that the office space is explicitly identified in the contract. Additionally, so long as payments are made timely under this lease, we as the tenant have the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of this identified asset and can direct how and for what purpose the office space is used to conduct our operations.
As of June 30, 2019, the right-of-use asset and lease liability balance was approximately $234,000. The right-of-use asset is included within other assets and the lease liability is included within other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. We recorded rent expense of $79,000 and $62,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $155,000 and $117,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, in general and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of operations.
At June 30, 2019, our scheduled future noncancelable minimum lease payments were $128,000 for the six months ending December 31, 2019 and $106,000 for the year ending December 31, 2020.

Tenant Revenue Concentrations—Rental and other property income from the U.S. General Services Administration and other government agencies (collectively, "Governmental Tenants"), which primarily occupied space in our properties located in Washington, D.C., accounted for approximately 21.9% and 24.7% of our office segment revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 22.7% and 25.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $131,000 and $331,000, respectively, was due from Kaiser.

18. SEGMENT DISCLOSURE
In accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, our reportable segments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 consist of two types of commercial real estate properties, namely, office and hotel, as well as a segment for our lending business. 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, 2018 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 18, 2019.
For our real estate segments, we define net operating income 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, gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, impairment of real estate, transaction costs, and provision for income taxes. For our lending segment, we define net operating income as interest income net of interest expense and general overhead expenses.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "project," "target," "expect," "intend," "might," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "could," "would" "continue," "pursue," "potential," "forecast," "seek," "plan," or "should" or the negative thereof or other variations or similar words or phrases. Such forward-looking statements include, among others, statements about CMCT’s plans and objectives relating to future growth and availability of funds, the trading liquidity of CMCT’s Common Stock and potential repurchases of outstanding shares of Series L Preferred Stock. Such forward-looking statements are based on particular assumptions that management of CMCT has made light of its experience, as well as its perception of expected future developments and other factors that it believes are appropriate under the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the judgment of CMCT and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include those associated with (i) the timing, manner and extent, if any, of the distribution of shares of Common Stock held by the principal stockholder of CMCT to its members, (ii) the timing, manner and extent, if any, of repurchases of Series L Preferred Stock by CMCT and (iii) general economic, market and other conditions. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations and there can be no assurance that these expectations will be attained. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake to update them to reflect changes that occur after the date they are made.
The following discussion of our financial condition at June 30, 2019 and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. For a more detailed description of the risks affecting our financial condition and results of operations, see "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Executive Summary
Business Overview
CIM Commercial is a Maryland corporation and REIT. Our principal business is to acquire, own, and operate Class A and creative office assets in vibrant and improving metropolitan 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, positive population 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 real estate assets in the area. We believe that these assets will provide greater returns than similar assets in other markets, as a result of the population growth, public commitment, and significant private investment that characterize these areas.
We are operated by affiliates of CIM Group. CIM Group is a vertically-integrated owner and operator of real assets with multi-disciplinary expertise and in-house research, acquisition, credit analysis, development, financing, leasing, and onsite property management capabilities. CIM Group is headquartered in Los Angeles, California and has offices in Oakland, California; Bethesda, Maryland; Dallas, Texas; New York, New York; Chicago, Illinois; and Phoenix, Arizona.
Properties
As of June 30, 2019, our real estate portfolio consisted of 14 assets, all of which are fee-simple properties. As of June 30, 2019, our 12 office properties (including two development sites, one of which is being used as a parking lot), totaling approximately 1.9 million rentable square feet, were 88.1% occupied and one hotel with an ancillary parking garage, which has a total of 503 rooms, had revenue per available room ("RevPAR") of $140.93 for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Table of Contents

As part of the Asset Sale (defined below), we completed the sale of ten properties during 2019, including two office properties and one development site in Washington, D.C., which were sold in July 2019.
Strategy
Our strategy is principally focused on the acquisition of Class A and creative office assets in vibrant and improving metropolitan communities throughout the United States (including improving and developing such assets) in a manner that will consistently grow our NAV and cash flow per share of Common Stock.
Our strategy is centered around CIM Group's community qualification process. We believe this strategy provides us with a significant competitive advantage when making real estate acquisitions. The qualification process generally takes between six months and five years and is a critical component of CIM Group's evaluation. CIM Group examines the characteristics of a market to determine whether the district justifies the extensive efforts CIM Group undertakes in reviewing and making potential acquisitions in its qualified communities ("Qualified Communities"). Qualified Communities generally fall into one of two categories: (i) transitional metropolitan districts that have dedicated resources to become vibrant metropolitan communities and (ii) well-established, thriving metropolitan 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, positive population trends and support for investment. CIM Group believes that a vast majority of the risks associated with acquiring real estate are mitigated by accumulating local market knowledge of the community where the asset is located. CIM Group typically spends significant time and resources qualifying targeted communities prior to making any acquisitions. Since 1994, CIM Group has qualified 122 communities and has deployed capital in 72 of these Qualified Communities. Although we may not deploy capital exclusively in Qualified Communities, it is expected that most of our assets will be identified through this systematic process.
CIM Group seeks to maximize the value of its holdings through active onsite property management and leasing. CIM Group has extensive in-house research, acquisition, credit analysis, development, financing, leasing and onsite property management capabilities, which leverage its deep understanding of metropolitan communities to position properties for multiple uses and to maximize operating income. As a vertically-integrated owner and operator, CIM Group has in-house onsite property management and leasing 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. In addition, CIM Group's Real Assets Management Committee reviews and approves strategic plans for each asset, including financial, leasing, marketing, property positioning and disposition plans. The Real Assets Management Committee reviews and approves the annual business plan for each property, including its capital and operating budget. CIM Group's organizational structure provides for 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.

CIM Group's investments and development teams are separate groups that work very closely together on transactions requiring development expertise. While the investments team is responsible for acquisition analysis, both the investments and development teams perform the due diligence, evaluate and determine underwriting assumptions, and participate in the development management and ongoing asset management of CIM Group’s opportunistic assets. The development team is also responsible for the oversight and or execution of securing entitlements and the development/repositioning process. In instances where CIM Group is not the lead developer, CIM Group's in-house development team continues to provide development and construction oversight to co-sponsors through a shadow team that oversees the progress of the development from beginning to end to ensure adherence to the budgets, schedules, quality and scope of the project to maintain CIM Group’s vision for the final product. The investments and development teams interact as a cohesive team when sourcing, underwriting, acquiring, executing and managing the business plan of an opportunistic acquisition.

We seek to utilize the CIM Group platform to acquire, improve and develop real estate assets within CIM Group's Qualified Communities. We believe that these assets will provide greater returns than similar assets in other markets, as a result of population growth, public commitment, and significant private investment that characterize these areas. Over time, we seek to expand our real estate assets in communities targeted by CIM Group, supported by CIM Group's broad real estate capabilities, as part of our plan to prudently grow NAV and cash flow per share. As a matter of prudent management, we also regularly evaluate each asset within our portfolio as well as our strategies. Such review may result in dispositions when an asset no longer fits our overall objectives or strategies, or when our view of the market value of such asset is equal to or exceeds its intrinsic value. As a result of such review, we sold two hotels in 2016; six office properties, one parking garage, and five multifamily properties in 2017; and one office property and one development site in Washington, D.C. in 2019. In connection with the Program to Unlock Embedded Value in Our Portfolio and Improve Trading Liquidity of Our Common Stock (as

45

Table of Contents

defined below), we sold four office properties and one parking garage in Oakland, California; two office properties in Washington, D.C.; and one office property in San Francisco, California during 2019. In 2016 and 2017, we used a substantial portion of the net proceeds of dispositions during such years to provide liquidity to our common stockholders at prices reflecting our NAV and cash flow prospects, and on August 8, 2019, we declared the Special Dividend of $14.00 per share of Common Stock, or $613,294,000 in the aggregate, that will be paid on August 30, 2019 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 19, 2019.

While we are principally focused on Class A and creative office assets in vibrant and improving metropolitan communities throughout the United States (including improving and developing such assets), we may also participate more actively in other CIM Group real estate strategies and product types in order to broaden our participation in CIM Group’s platform and capabilities for the benefit of all classes of stockholders. This may include, without limitation, engaging in real estate development activities as well as investing in other product types directly, side-by-side with one or more funds of CIM Group, through direct deployment of capital in a CIM Group real estate or debt fund, or deploying capital in or originating loans that are secured directly or indirectly by properties primarily located in Qualified Communities that meet our strategy. Such loans may include limited and or non-recourse junior (mezzanine, B-note or 2nd lien) and senior acquisition, bridge or repositioning loans.

Program to Unlock Embedded Value in Our Portfolio and Improve Trading Liquidity of Our Common Stock

On October 10, 2018, the Company announced a program to unlock embedded value in its portfolio, enhance growth prospects and improve the trading liquidity of its Common Stock (the "Program to Unlock Embedded Value in Our Portfolio and Improve Trading Liquidity of Our Common Stock"), which includes the Asset Sale (as defined below), the Debt Repayment (as defined below), the Return of Capital Event (as defined below) and the CIM REIT Liquidation (as defined below).

Sale of Assets. In accordance with the approval of our principal stockholder in December 2018, which as of the relevant record date owned 95.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Company sold eight properties in 2019 (collectively, the “Program Sales”). Further, as a matter of prudent management, after evaluating each asset within our portfolio as well as the intrinsic value of each property, the Company sold one office property and one development site in Washington, D.C. in 2019 (such sales, together with the Program Sales, the “Asset Sale”). The Asset Sale generated aggregate gross sales price to the Company of $990,996,000. No further property sales will be made under the Program to Unlock Embedded Value in Our Portfolio and Improve Trading Liquidity of Our Common Stock.
    
Repayment of Certain Indebtedness. We used net proceeds from the Asset Sale to repay balances on certain of the Company’s indebtedness (the “Debt Repayment”).
 
Return of Capital to Holders of Common Stock.  The Company previously announced its intent to use the net proceeds from the Asset Sale (other than to the extent used for the Debt Repayment) and funds from our revolving credit facility to return capital to holders of our Common Stock (the “Return of Capital Event”). To that end, on August 8, 2019, the Company declared the Special Dividend of $14.00 per share of Common Stock, or $613,294,000 in the aggregate, that will be paid on August 30, 2019 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 19, 2019.
 
CIM REIT Liquidation.  As of August 6, 2019, CIM REIT beneficially owned 89.7% of our outstanding Common Stock. We have been informed that CIM REIT intends to liquidate (the "CIM REIT Liquidation") and, as part of this process, CIM REIT will distribute approximately 31,872,000 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 72.8% of the outstanding Common Stock, to approximately 19 members of CIM REIT by the end of August 2019. Such distribution will increase the public float of our Common Stock, which we believe will in turn increase the trading liquidity of our Common Stock and improve our access to capital, benefitting both holders of the Preferred Stock and Common Stock. Following such distribution, CIM REIT is expected to own approximately 16.9% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock.

Preferred Stock. The Company is exploring initiating a repurchase program for approximately 30% of the outstanding shares of Series L Preferred Stock beginning no later than the first quarter of 2020. While the Company is reviewing the pricing, methods and exact timing of any such repurchases, such repurchases may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Consistent with the targeted capital structure of the Company, the Company anticipates using funds from its revolving credit facility to finance such repurchases. There can be no assurance that the Company will repurchase any shares of Series L Preferred Stock on the foregoing terms or timing, or at all.

Cash rent represents gross monthly base rent, 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.
Fluctuations in submarkets, buildings and terms of 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 a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations or to maintain our level of distributions on our Common Stock or Preferred Stock.

Net income increased to $52,567,000, or by $50,618,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $1,949,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to the gain on sale of real estate of $55,221,000, a decrease of $6,140,000 in depreciation and amortization, a decrease of $4,497,000 in interest expense not allocated to our operating segments, a decrease of $1,767,000 in asset management and other fees to related parties not allocated to our operating segments, an increase of $1,499,000 in interest and other income not allocated to our operating segments, and a decrease of $406,000 in general and administrative expense not allocated to our operating segments, partially offset by a decrease of $11,340,000 in net operating income of our operating segments, a $4,911,000 loss on early extinguishment of debt, and a $2,800,000 impairment of real estate.
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 securities 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) attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, which reflects the deduction of redeemable preferred stock dividends accumulated, 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 (the "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 the FFOs of other REITs. Therefore, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) as a measure of our performance and should not be used as a supplement to or substitute measure for cash flows 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.

In connection with the sale of a property during the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized a $4,911,000 loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the legal defeasance of a mortgage loan collateralized by such property. Such loss on early extinguishment of debt is not included in the adjustment for the gain on sale of depreciable assets presented in the table above.
FFO attributable to common stockholders was $3,024,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $8,425,000 compared to $11,449,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in FFO was primarily attributable to a decrease of $11,340,000 in net operating income of our operating segments, a $4,911,000 loss on early extinguishment of debt, and an increase of $488,000 in redeemable preferred stock dividends declared or accumulated, partially offset by a decrease of $4,497,000 in interest expense not allocated to our operating segments, a decrease of $1,767,000 in asset management and other fees to related parties not allocated to our operating segments, an increase of $1,499,000 in interest and other income not allocated to our operating segments, and a decrease of $406,000 in general and administrative expense not allocated to our operating segments.

Revenues
Office Revenue: Office revenue includes rental revenue, expense reimbursements and lease termination income from office properties. Office revenue decreased to $22,050,000, or by 41.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $37,889,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease is primarily due to the sale of three office properties and a parking garage in Oakland, California, the sale of an office property in Washington, D.C., and the sale of an office property in San Francisco, California, all of which were consummated in March 2019, the sale of an office property in Oakland, California, which was consummated in May 2019, and lower revenues at an office property in Los Angeles, California that is being repositioned into vibrant, collaborative office space after the expiration in April 2019 of a lease agreement for 100% of such

Table of Contents

property, which space has been partially occupied by a related party since May 2019, partially offset by increases in rental revenue at certain of our properties due to increases in rental rates as a result of leasing activity. The aforementioned sales and the sale of two office properties in Washington, D.C., which was consummated in July 2019, are expected to cause office revenue to decline materially during the remainder of 2019.
Hotel Revenue: Hotel revenue decreased to $10,330,000, or by 5.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $10,947,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease is primarily due to lower food and beverage revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Lending Revenue: Lending revenue represents revenue from our lending subsidiaries, including interest income on loans and other loan related fee income. Lending revenue increased to $2,977,000, or by 9.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $2,708,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is primarily due to higher revenue as a result of the recognition of accretion of discounts related to increased prepayments on our loans and increases in the prime rate.
Interest and Other Income: Interest and other income represents revenue generated outside of our reportable segments. Interest and other income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $1,499,000, and primarily relates to interest earned on the proceeds from the Asset Sale received as of June 30, 2019, compared to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Expenses
Office Expenses: Office expenses decreased to $9,115,000, or by 35.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $14,026,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease is primarily due to the sale of three office properties and a parking garage in Oakland, California, the sale of an office property in Washington, D.C., and the sale of an office property in San Francisco, California, all of which were consummated in March 2019, and the sale of an office property in Oakland, California, which was consummated in May 2019. The aforementioned sales and the sale of two office properties in Washington, D.C., which was consummated in July 2019, are expected to cause office expenses to decline materially during the remainder of 2019.
Hotel Expenses: Hotel expenses decreased to $6,808,000, or by 0.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $6,837,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Lending Expenses: Lending expenses represent expenses from our lending subsidiaries, including interest expense, general and administrative expenses and fees to related party, incurred in connection with the operation of the lending business. Lending expenses increased to $1,422,000, or by 7.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $1,329,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to an increase in interest expense as a result of the issuance of the SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes in May 2018.
Asset Management and Other Fees to Related Parties: Asset management fees totaled $2,919,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $4,460,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Asset management fees are calculated based on a percentage of the daily average adjusted fair value of CIM Urban's assets, which are appraised in the fourth quarter of each year. The lower fees reflect a decrease in the adjusted fair value of CIM Urban's assets due to the sale of three office properties and a parking garage in Oakland, California, the sale of an office property in Washington, D.C., and the sale of an office property in San Francisco, California, all of which were consummated in March 2019, and the sale of an office property in Oakland, California, which was consummated in May 2019, partially offset by net increases in the fair value of CIM Urban’s real estate assets based on the December 31, 2018 appraised values as well as incremental capital expenditures incurred in the first six months of 2019. CIM Commercial also pays a Base Service Fee to the Administrator, a related party, which totaled $276,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $269,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. In addition, the Administrator received 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 June 30, 2019 and 2018, we expensed $488,000 and $697,000 for such services, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we also expensed $54,000 and $78,000, respectively, related to corporate services subject to reimbursement by us under the CIM SBA Staffing and Reimbursement Agreement. The aforementioned sales and the sale of two office properties and one development site in Washington, D.C., which was consummated in July 2019, are expected to cause asset management fees to decline materially during the remainder of 2019.
Interest Expense: Interest expense, which has not been allocated to our operating segments, was $2,014,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $4,497,000 compared to $6,511,000 in the corresponding period in 2018. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in interest expense due to the legal defeasance of mortgage loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $205,500,000 in connection with the sale of three office properties and a parking garage in Oakland, California, the prepayment of a $46,000,000 mortgage loan in connection with the sale of an office property in

Table of Contents

Washington, D.C., and the assumption of a $28,200,000 mortgage loan by the buyer of an office property in San Francisco, California, all of which were consummated in March 2019, the legal defeasance of a mortgage loan with an outstanding principal balance of $39,500,000 in connection with the sale of an office property in Oakland, California, which was consummated in May 2019, and a decrease in interest expense as a result of not utilizing our revolving credit facility during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the average outstanding principal balance on our unsecured credit and term loan facilities during the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to repayments of $10,000,000, $40,000,000, $10,000,000, and $120,000,000 in May 2018, December 2018, February 2019, and March 2019, respectively. The aforementioned reductions in our debt are expected to cause interest expense to decline materially during the remainder of 2019. However, the magnitude of any such decrease cannot be predicted as it will depend on a number of factors such as the amount and timing of future borrowings on our revolving credit facility, and the terms and amount of any new borrowings we may enter into.
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses, which have not been allocated to our operating segments, were $1,021,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $406,000 compared to $1,427,000 in the corresponding period in 2018. The decrease is primarily due to certain expenses related to our multifamily properties sold during the year ended December 31, 2017, which were expensed during the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Transaction Costs: Transaction costs totaled $216,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $344,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense: Depreciation and amortization expense was $7,185,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $6,140,000 compared to $13,325,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease is primarily due to the sale of three office properties and a parking garage in Oakland, California that were held for sale starting in mid-January 2019 and sold in March 2019, the sale of an office property in Washington, D.C. that was held for sale starting in late January 2019 and sold in March 2019, the sale of an office property in San Francisco, California that was held for sale starting in late December 2018 and sold in mid-March 2019, the sale of an office property in Oakland, California that was held for sale in mid-March 2019 and sold in mid-May 2019, and the impairment of two office properties and one development site in Washington, D.C., which decreased the carrying amounts of such properties and the depreciation thereon during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The aforementioned sales and the sale of two office properties and one development site in Washington, D.C., which was consummated in July 2019, are expected to cause depreciation and amortization expense to decline materially during the remainder of 2019.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt: Loss on early extinguishment of debt was $4,911,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. In May 2019, one mortgage loan, with an outstanding principal balance of $39,500,000 at such time, was legally defeased in connection with the sale of the related property. Loss on early extinguishment of debt consists of the costs associated with the aforementioned legal defeasance, the write-off of unamortized deferred loan costs, and the difference between the purchase price of the U.S. government securities and the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan that was legally defeased.
Impairment of Real Estate: Impairment of real estate was $2,800,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. In connection with our negotiation of an agreement with an unrelated third-party for the sale of 100% fee-simple interests in two office properties and one development site in Washington, D.C., we determined that the book values of such properties exceeded their estimated fair values and recognized an impairment charge of $66,200,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 under the held-and-used impairment model. Following our signing the agreement for the sale of the aforementioned properties and our receipt of a non-refundable deposit in respect of their sale in June 2019, such properties were classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2019 and we recognized an additional impairment charge of $2,800,000 under the held-for-sale impairment model. Our determination of the fair values of such properties was based on negotiations with the third-party buyer and the contract sales price.
Provision for Income Taxes: Provision for income taxes was $281,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $292,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

The increase is primarily attributable to the gain on sale of real estate of $432,802,000, a decrease of $9,658,000 in depreciation and amortization, a decrease of $7,483,000 in interest expense not allocated to our operating segments, a decrease of $2,128,000 in asset management and other fees to related parties not allocated to our operating segments, an increase of $1,818,000 in interest and other income not allocated to our operating segments, and a decrease of $1,297,000 in general and administrative expense not allocated to our operating segments, partially offset by a $69,000,000 impairment of real estate, a $29,982,000 loss on early extinguishment of debt, and a decrease of $14,750,000 in net operating income of our operating segments.

FFO represents net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, which reflects the deduction of redeemable preferred stock dividends accumulated, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, impairment of real estate, and real estate depreciation and amortization.

In connection with the sale of certain properties during the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized a $29,982,000 loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the legal defeasance and prepayment of mortgage loans collateralized by such properties. Such loss on early extinguishment of debt is not included in the adjustment for the gain on sale of depreciable assets presented in the table above.
FFO attributable to common stockholders was $(11,096,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $32,667,000 compared to $21,571,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in FFO was primarily attributable to a $29,982,000 loss on early extinguishment of debt, a decrease of $14,750,000 in net operating income of our operating segments, and an increase of $1,005,000 in redeemable preferred stock dividends declared or accumulated, partially offset by a decrease of $7,483,000 in interest expense not allocated to our operating segments, a decrease of $2,128,000 in asset management and other fees to related parties not allocated to our operating segments, an increase of $1,818,000 in interest and other income not allocated to our operating segments, and a decrease of $1,297,000 in general and administrative expense not allocated to our operating segments.

Revenues
Office Revenue: Office revenue includes rental revenue, expense reimbursements and lease termination income from office properties. Office revenue decreased to $55,495,000, or by 23.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $72,701,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease is primarily due to the sale of three office properties and a parking garage in Oakland, California, the sale of an office property in Washington, D.C., and the sale of an office property in San Francisco, California, all of which were consummated in March 2019, the sale of an office property in Oakland, California, which was consummated in May 2019, and lower revenues at an office property in Los Angeles, California that is being repositioned into vibrant, collaborative office space after the expiration in April 2019 of a lease agreement for 100% of such

property, which space has been partially occupied by a related party since May 2019, partially offset by increases in rental revenue at certain of our properties due to increases in rental rates as a result of leasing activity. The aforementioned sales and the sale of two office properties in Washington, D.C., which was consummated in July 2019, are expected to cause office revenue to decline materially during the remainder of 2019.
Hotel Revenue: Hotel revenue decreased to $20,919,000, or by 2.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $21,438,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease is primarily due to lower food and beverage revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Lending Revenue: Lending revenue represents revenue from our lending subsidiaries, including interest income on loans and other loan related fee income. Lending revenue increased to $5,901,000, or by 3.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $5,699,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is primarily due to higher revenue as a result of the recognition of accretion of discounts related to increased prepayments on our loans and increases in the prime rate, partially offset by a decrease in premium income from the sale of the guaranteed portion of our SBA 7(a) loans.
Interest and Other Income: Interest and other income represents revenue generated outside of our reportable segments. Interest and other income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $1,818,000, and primarily relates to interest earned on the proceeds from the Asset Sale received as of June 30, 2019, compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Expenses
Office Expenses: Office expenses decreased to $22,828,000, or by 13.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $26,290,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease is primarily due to the sale of three office properties and a parking garage in Oakland, California, the sale of an office property in Washington, D.C., and the sale of an office property in San Francisco, California, all of which were consummated in March 2019, and the sale of an office property in Oakland, California, which was consummated in May 2019, partially offset by an increase in real estate taxes at certain of our properties in California due to real estate tax refunds related to prior years recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and at certain of our Washington, D.C. properties due to increases in such properties’ assessed values. The aforementioned sales and the sale of two office properties in Washington, D.C., which was consummated in July 2019, are expected to cause office expenses to decline materially during the remainder of 2019.
Hotel Expenses: Hotel expenses increased to $13,516,000, or by 1.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $13,388,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Lending Expenses: Lending expenses represent expenses from our lending subsidiaries, including interest expense, general and administrative expenses and fees to related party, incurred in connection with the operation of the lending business. Lending expenses increased to $3,144,000, or by 21.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $2,583,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to an increase in interest expense as a result of the issuance of the SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes in May 2018.
Asset Management and Other Fees to Related Parties: Asset management fees totaled $7,245,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $8,875,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Asset management fees are calculated based on a percentage of the daily average adjusted fair value of CIM Urban's assets, which are appraised in the fourth quarter of each year. The lower fees reflect a decrease in the adjusted fair value of CIM Urban's assets due to the sale of three office properties and a parking garage in Oakland, California, the sale of an office property in Washington, D.C., and the sale of an office property in San Francisco, California, all of which were consummated in March 2019, and the sale of an office property in Oakland, California, which was consummated in May 2019, partially offset by net increases in the fair value of CIM Urban’s real estate assets based on the December 31, 2018 appraised values as well as incremental capital expenditures incurred in the first six months of 2019. CIM Commercial also pays a Base Service Fee to the Administrator, a related party, which totaled $552,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $539,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. In addition, the Administrator received 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we expensed $1,058,000 and $1,555,000 for such services, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we also expensed $131,000 and $145,000, respectively, related to corporate services subject to reimbursement by us under the CIM SBA Staffing and Reimbursement Agreement. The aforementioned sales and the sale of two office properties and one development site in Washington, D.C., which was consummated in July 2019, are expected to cause asset management fees to decline materially during the remainder of 2019.
Interest Expense: Interest expense, which has not been allocated to our operating segments, was $5,477,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $7,483,000 compared to $12,960,000 in the corresponding period in 2018. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in interest expense due to the legal defeasance of mortgage loans with an aggregate

outstanding principal balance of $205,500,000 in connection with the sale of three office properties and a parking garage in Oakland, California, the prepayment of a $46,000,000 mortgage loan in connection with the sale of an office property in Washington, D.C., and the assumption of a $28,200,000 mortgage loan by the buyer of an office property in San Francisco, California, all of which were consummated in March 2019, the legal defeasance of a mortgage loan with an outstanding principal balance of $39,500,000 in connection with the sale of an office property in Oakland, California, which was consummated in May 2019, a decrease in interest expense, including the impact of interest rate swaps, as a result of a lower average outstanding principal balance on our revolving credit facility during the first six months of 2019 compared to the average outstanding principal balance on our unsecured credit and term loan facilities during the first six months of 2018, primarily due to repayments of $10,000,000, $40,000,000, $10,000,000, and $120,000,000 in May 2018, December 2018, February 2019, and March 2019, respectively, and income received during the six months ended June 30, 2019 in connection with the termination of our two remaining interest rate swaps. The aforementioned reductions in our debt are expected to cause interest expense to decline materially during the remainder of 2019. However, the magnitude of any such decrease cannot be predicted as it will depend on a number of factors such as the amount and timing of future borrowings on our revolving credit facility, and the terms and amount of any new borrowings we may enter into.
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses, which have not been allocated to our operating segments, were $2,138,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $1,297,000 compared to $3,435,000 in the corresponding period in 2018. The decrease is primarily due to certain expenses related to our multifamily properties sold during the year ended December 31, 2017, which were expensed during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Transaction Costs: Transaction costs totaled $260,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $344,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense: Depreciation and amortization expense was $16,815,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $9,658,000 compared to $26,473,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease is primarily due to the sale of three office properties and a parking garage in Oakland, California that were held for sale starting in mid-January 2019 and sold in March 2019, the sale of an office property in Washington, D.C. that was held for sale starting in late January 2019 and sold in March 2019, the sale of an office property in San Francisco, California that was held for sale starting in late December 2018 and sold in mid-March 2019, the sale of an office property in Oakland, California that was held for sale in mid-March 2019 and sold in mid-May 2019, and the impairment of two office properties and one development site in Washington, D.C., which decreased the carrying amounts of such properties and the depreciation thereon during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The aforementioned sales and the sale of two office properties and one development site in Washington, D.C., which was consummated in July 2019, are expected to cause depreciation and amortization expense to decline materially during the remainder of 2019.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt: Loss on early extinguishment of debt was $29,982,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. In March 2019, we legally defeased mortgage loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $205,500,000 in connection with the sale of three office properties and a parking garage in Oakland, California, we prepaid a $46,000,000 mortgage loan in connection with the sale of an office property in Washington, D.C., and a $28,200,000 mortgage loan was assumed by the buyer of an office property in San Francisco, California. In May 2019, one mortgage loan, with an outstanding principal balance of $39,500,000 at such time, was legally defeased in connection with the sale of the related property. Loss on early extinguishment of debt consists of the costs associated with the aforementioned legal defeasances, repayment, and assumption of mortgage loans, the write-off of unamortized deferred loan costs, and, with regards to the legal defeasances, the difference between the purchase price of the U.S. government securities and the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loans that were legally defeased.
Impairment of Real Estate: Impairment of real estate was $69,000,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. In connection with our negotiation of an agreement with an unrelated third-party for the sale of 100% fee-simple interests in two office properties and one development site in Washington, D.C, we determined that the book values of such properties exceeded their estimated fair values and recognized impairment charges totaling $69,000,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our determination of the fair values of such properties was based on negotiations with the third-party buyer and the contract sales price.
Provision for Income Taxes: Provision for income taxes was $599,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $680,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Funds
In September 2014, CIM Commercial entered into an $850,000,000 unsecured credit facility with a bank syndicate which consisted of a $450,000,000 revolver, a $325,000,000 term loan and a $75,000,000 delayed-draw term loan. Outstanding

advances under the revolver bore 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 bore 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. Our unsecured credit facility matured on September 30, 2018.
In May 2015, CIM Commercial entered into an unsecured term loan facility with a bank syndicate pursuant to which CIM Commercial could borrow up to a maximum of $385,000,000. Outstanding advances under the term loan facility bore 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, which interest rate was effectively converted to a fixed rate of 3.16% through interest rate swaps. The term loan facility had a maturity date in May 2022. On November 2, 2015, $385,000,000 was drawn under the term loan facility. Proceeds from the term loan facility were used to repay balances outstanding under our unsecured credit facility. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we repaid $215,000,000 of outstanding borrowings on our unsecured term loan facility. In connection with such paydowns, we wrote off deferred loan costs of $1,988,000 and related accumulated amortization of $705,000, a proportionate amount to the borrowings being repaid. On October 30, 2018, we repaid and terminated the $170,000,000 of outstanding borrowings on our unsecured term loan facility using proceeds from our new revolving credit facility (as described below). In connection with such paydown and termination, we wrote off the remaining deferred loan costs of $1,872,000 and related accumulated amortization of $1,064,000.
In June 2016, we entered into six mortgage loan agreements with an aggregate principal amount of $392,000,000. A portion of the net proceeds from the loans was used to repay outstanding balances under our unsecured credit facility and the remaining portion was used to repurchase shares of our Common Stock in a private repurchase in September 2016. On September 21, 2017, in connection with the sale of an office property in Los Angeles, California, one mortgage loan with an outstanding principal balance of $21,700,000, collateralized by such property, was assumed by the buyer. On March 1, 2019, additional mortgage loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $205,500,000 at such time, were legally defeased in connection with the sale of the related properties. The cash outlay required for the defeasance in the net amount of $224,086,000 was based on the purchase price of U.S. government securities that will generate sufficient cash flow to fund continued interest payments on the loans from the effective date of the defeasance through the date on which we could repay the loans at par. As a result of the defeasance, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0 and $19,290,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, which represents the sum of the difference between the purchase price of U.S. government securities of $224,086,000 and the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loans of $205,500,000, the write-off of deferred loan costs of $637,000 and related accumulated amortization of $170,000, and transaction costs of $237,000. On March 14, 2019, in connection with the sale of an office property in San Francisco, California, one mortgage loan with an outstanding principal balance of $28,200,000 at such time was assumed by the buyer. As a result of this assumption, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0 and $178,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, which represents the write-off of deferred loan costs of $243,000 and related accumulated amortization of $65,000. On May 16, 2019, one mortgage loan with an outstanding principal balance of $39,500,000 at such time, was legally defeased in connection with the sale of the related property. The cash outlay required for the defeasance in the net amount of $44,108,000 was based on the purchase price of U.S. government securities that will generate sufficient cash flow to fund continued interest payments on the loan from the effective date of the defeasance through the date on which we could repay the loan at par. As a result of the defeasance, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $4,911,000 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, which represents the sum of the difference between the purchase price of U.S. government securities of $44,108,000 and the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan of $39,500,000, the write-off of deferred loan costs of $287,000 and related accumulated amortization of $82,000, and transaction costs of $98,000.

On May 30, 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 securitization uses a trust formed for the benefit of the note holders which is considered a VIE. Applying the consolidation requirements for VIEs under the accounting rules in ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, the Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary based on its power to direct activities through its role as servicer and its obligations to absorb losses and right to receive benefits. The SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes are collateralized solely by the right to receive payments and other recoveries attributable to the unguaranteed portions of certain of our SBA 7(a) loans receivable. The SBA 7(a) loan-backed 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 SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes to be approximately two years. The SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes bear interest at the lower of the one-month LIBOR plus 1.40% or the prime rate less 1.08%. We reflect the SBA 7(a) loans receivable as assets on our consolidated balance sheets and the SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes as debt on our consolidated balance sheets. The restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 included $1,756,000 and $3,174,000, respectively, of funds related to our SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes.

In October 2018, CIM Commercial entered into a revolving credit facility with a bank syndicate pursuant to which CIM Commercial can borrow up to a maximum of $250,000,000, subject to a borrowing base calculation. The revolving credit facility is secured by deeds of trust on certain properties. Outstanding advances under the revolving credit facility bear interest at (i) the base rate plus 0.55% or (ii) LIBOR plus 1.55%. At December 31, 2018, the variable interest rate was 4.07%. The interest rate on the first $120,000,000 of one-month LIBOR indexed variable rate borrowings on our revolving credit facility was effectively converted to a fixed rate of 3.11% through interest rate swaps until such swaps were terminated on March 11, 2019. The revolving credit facility is also subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.15% or 0.25% depending on the amount of aggregate unused commitments. The revolving credit facility matures in October 2022 and provides for one one-year extension option under certain conditions. We expect the revolving credit facility to remain in place following the Program to Unlock Embedded Value in Our Portfolio and Improve Trading Liquidity of Our Common Stock, as defined above. On October 30, 2018, we borrowed $170,000,000 on this facility to repay outstanding borrowings on our unsecured term loan facility. On December 28, 2018, we repaid $40,000,000 of outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility and we terminated one interest rate swap with a notional value of $50,000,000. On February 28, 2019 and March 11, 2019, we repaid $10,000,000 and $120,000,000, respectively, of outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility using cash on hand and net proceeds from the 2019 asset sales, and, in connection with the March 11, 2019 repayment, we terminated our two remaining interest rate swaps, which had an aggregate notional value of $120,000,000. At August 6, 2019, June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, $0, $0 and $130,000,000, respectively, was outstanding under the revolving credit facility and approximately $210,000,000, $210,000,000, and $91,000,000, respectively, was available for future borrowings. The revolving credit facility is not subject to any financial covenants, but is subject to a borrowing base calculation that determines the amount we can borrow.

On March 1, 2019, in connection with the sale of an office property in Washington, D.C., we prepaid the related mortgage loan with an outstanding principal balance of $46,000,000 at such time, using proceeds from the sale. As a result, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0 and $5,603,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, which represents a prepayment penalty of $5,325,000 and the write-off of deferred loan costs of $537,000 and related accumulated amortization of $259,000.
We have an effective registration statement with the SEC with respect to the offer and sale of up to $900,000,000 of Series A Preferred Units, with each Series A Preferred Unit consisting of (i) one share of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company with an initial stated value of $25.00 per share, subject to adjustment, and (ii) one Series A Preferred Warrant to purchase 0.25 of a share of Common Stock. The registration statement allows us to sell up to a maximum of 36,000,000 Series A Preferred Units. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, if, as and when authorized by our Board of Directors, and declared by us out of legally available funds, cumulative cash dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock at an annual rate of 5.5% of the Series A Preferred Stock Stated Value (i.e. the equivalent of $0.34375 per share per quarter). The exercise price of each Series A Preferred Warrant is at a 15.0% premium to the per share estimated NAV of our Common Stock (as most recently published and designated as the Applicable NAV by us at the time of each issuance of Series A Preferred Warrants). At the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, the exercise price of each outstanding Series A Preferred Warrant will automatically increase to three times the exercise prices of such warrant immediately prior to the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such warrant will automatically be adjusted to one-third of 0.25 (or approximately 0.0833) of a share of Common Stock. Further, the Company intends to reduce the strike price of each outstanding Series A Preferred Warrant to account for the effect of the Special Dividend. As of June 30, 2019, we had issued 3,614,493 Series A Preferred Units and received net proceeds of $82,732,000 after commissions, fees and allocated costs. As of June 30, 2019, 12,772 shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been redeemed.
On November 21, 2017, we issued 8,080,740 shares of Series L Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of $207,845,000 after commissions, fees, allocated costs, and a discount. Each share of Series L Preferred Stock has a stated value of $28.37 per share, subject to adjustment. Holders of Series L Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, if, as and when authorized by our Board of Directors, and declared by us out of legally available funds, cumulative cash dividends on each share of Series L Preferred Stock at an annual rate of 5.5% of the Series L Preferred Stock Stated Value (i.e., the equivalent of $1.56035 per share per year), with the first distribution paid in January 2019 for the period from the date of issuance through December 31, 2018. If the Company fails to timely declare distributions or fails to timely pay distributions on the Series L Preferred Stock, the annual dividend rate of the Series L Preferred Stock will temporarily increase by 1.0% per year, up to a maximum rate of 8.5%.
We have used a portion of our unrestricted cash and net proceeds from the Asset Sale to repay balances on certain of the Company’s indebtedness. Upon completion of the Program to Unlock Embedded Value in Our Portfolio and Improve Trading Liquidity of Our Common Stock, we expect to continue to have substantial borrowing capacity.

We currently have substantial borrowing capacity, and may finance our future activities through one or more of the following methods: (i) offerings of shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock, senior unsecured securities, and or other equity

58

Table of Contents

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 assets as collateral; (iv) the sale of existing assets; and or (v) cash flows from operations.

Our long-term liquidity needs will consist primarily of funds necessary for acquisitions of assets, development or repositioning of properties, capital expenditures, refinancing of indebtedness, SBA 7(a) loan originations, paying distributions on our Preferred Stock or any other preferred stock we may issue, repurchase and or redemption of our Preferred Stock (if we choose, or are required, to pay the redemption price in cash instead of in shares of our Common Stock) and distributions on 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. These sources of funding may not be available on attractive terms or at all. If we cannot obtain additional funding for our long-term liquidity needs, our assets 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 material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations or to maintain our level of distributions on our Common Stock or Preferred Stock.
Available Borrowings and Cash Balances
We have typically financed our capital needs through offerings of shares of Preferred Stock, long-term secured mortgages, unsecured term loan facilities, unsecured or secured short-term credit facilities, and cash flows from operations. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had total indebtedness, exclusive of debt included in liabilities associated with assets held for sale, net, of $162,337,000 and $588,671,000, respectively. As of August 6, 2019, June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $0, $0 and $130,000,000, respectively, was outstanding under our revolving credit facility and approximately $210,000,000, $210,000,000 and $91,000,000, respectively, was available for future borrowings.
Cash Flow Analysis
Our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, inclusive of cash and restricted cash associated with assets held for sale, net, totaled $386,539,000 and $78,198,000 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily dependent upon the real estate assets owned, occupancy level of our real estate assets, the rental rates achieved through our leases, the ADR of our hotel, the collectability of rent and recoveries from our tenants, and loan related activity. 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 $26,237,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $36,913,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $11,294,000 resulting from a higher level of working capital used compared to the prior period, a decrease of $5,272,000 in proceeds from the sale of guaranteed loans and a decrease of $1,040,000 in principal collected on loans subject to secured borrowings, partially offset by a decrease of $7,453,000 in loans funded.
Our cash flows from investing activities are primarily related to property acquisitions and sales, expenditures for development or repositioning of properties, capital expenditures and cash flows associated with loans originated at our lending segment. Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $748,955,000 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $120,751,000 in the corresponding period in 2018. The increase was primarily due to $765,116,000 of cash generated from the sale of real estate during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to an outflow of $112,048,000 for the acquisition of real estate during the six months ended June 30, 2018, and a $2,484,000 decrease in loans funded, partially offset by an increase of $8,050,000 in cash used to fund additions to investments in real estate, and a $2,135,000 decrease in principal collected on loans.
Our cash flows from financing activities are generally impacted by borrowings and capital activities. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $466,851,000 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $41,512,000 in the corresponding period in 2018. We had net debt payments inclusive of secured borrowings of the lending business, of $182,858,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared with net debt borrowings of $36,874,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Additionally, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, we had an outflow of $268,194,000 for investments in marketable securities in connection with the legal defeasance of certain mortgage loans and an outflow of $5,660,000 for prepayment penalties and other payments related to the early extinguishment of debt in connection with the Asset Sale. Dividends of $26,895,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which include an annual Series L dividend of $14,045,000 paid in January 2019, were sourced from cash provided by operating activities and cash on hand at the beginning of the period, while dividends of $13,264,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were sourced from cash provided by operating activities. Proceeds from the issuance of our Series A Preferred Units were $17,521,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $19,963,000 in the corresponding period in 2018.

Represents the junior subordinated notes and SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes.
(3)
Principal payments on SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes, which are included in Other, and secured borrowings are generally dependent upon cash flows received from the underlying loans. Our estimate of their repayment is based on scheduled payments on the underlying loans. Our estimate will differ from actual amounts to the extent we experience prepayments and or loan liquidations or charge-offs. No payment is due unless payments are received from the borrowers on the underlying loans. 
(4)
Excludes premiums and discounts. For the mortgage payable and junior subordinated notes, the interest expense is calculated based on the effective interest rate on the related debt. For our revolving credit facility, we use the balance outstanding and the applicable rates in effect at June 30, 2019 to calculate the unused commitment fees. For our secured borrowings related to our government guaranteed loans, we use the variable rate in effect at June 30, 2019.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At June 30, 2019, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Dividends
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, if, as and when authorized by our Board of Directors, and declared by us out of legally available funds, cumulative cash dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock at an annual rate of 5.5% of the Series A Preferred Stock Stated Value (i.e., the equivalent of $0.34375 per share per quarter). Dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock begin accruing on, and are cumulative from, the date of issuance. Dividends are payable on the 15th day of the month, or if such day is not a business day, on the first business day thereafter, following the quarter for which the dividend was declared. We expect to pay dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock quarterly, unless our results of operations, our general financing conditions, general economic conditions, applicable provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law ("MGCL") or other factors make it imprudent to do so. The timing and amount of such dividends will be determined by our Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, and may vary from time to time.

Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, if, as and when authorized by the Board of Directors and declared by us out of legally available funds. In determining our dividend policy, the Board of Directors considers many factors including the amount of cash resources available for dividend distributions, capital spending plans, cash flow, financial position, applicable requirements of the MGCL, any applicable contractual restrictions, and future growth in NAV and cash flow per share prospects. Consequently, the dividend rate on a quarterly basis does not necessarily correlate directly to any individual factor.

As previously announced, in connection with the Program to Unlock Embedded Value in Our Portfolio and Improve Trading Liquidity of Our Common Stock, our board of directors reevaluated our dividend policy. As a result of such review, our board of directors established a new quarterly dividend rate of $0.025 per share of our Common Stock and, on August 8, 2019, we declared a cash dividend of $0.025 per share of our Common Stock (which will be equal to $0.075 per share of our Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split), to be paid on September 18, 2019 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 6, 2019. We expect that the new dividend rate will position us for future growth.

On August 8, 2019, in connection with the Program to Unlock Embedded Value in Our Portfolio and Improve Trading Liquidity of Our Common Stock, we declared the Special Dividend of $14.00 per share of Common Stock, or $613,294,000 in the aggregate, that will be paid on August 30, 2019 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 19, 2019. The Special Dividend will be funded primarily by the net proceeds (after the repayment of debt) received from the sale of ten properties during 2019 and borrowings on our revolving credit facility. Also on August 8, 2019, we announced the Reverse Stock Split, which will become effective at 12:01 a.m. on September 3, 2019. Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, every three shares of Common Stock held by a stockholder immediately prior to the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split will be

converted into one share of Common Stock. Fractional shares of Common Stock will not be 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 will receive an amount in cash equal to the product of the fraction of a share multiplied by the September 3, 2019 closing price of the Common Stock on Nasdaq.

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 a rate of 3.81% at June 30, 2019, and rates ranging from 4.62% to 4.64% at December 31, 2018. Mortgages payable, exclusive of debt included in liabilities associated with assets held for sale, net, with book values of $96,913,000 and $386,923,000 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, have fair values of approximately $99,078,000 and $377,364,000, respectively.
Our future income, cash flow and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and 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. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (excluding premiums, discounts, and deferred loan costs, including debt included in liabilities associated with assets held for sale, net, and before the impact of interest rate swaps, as applicable), $97,100,000 (or 58.2%) and $416,300,000 (or 66.8%) of our debt, respectively, was fixed rate mortgage loans, and $69,746,000 (or 41.8%) and $206,604,000 (or 33.2%), respectively, was floating rate borrowings. Based on the level of floating rate debt outstanding at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and before the impact of interest rate swaps, as applicable, a 12.5 basis point change in LIBOR would result in an annual impact to our earnings of approximately $87,000 and $258,000, 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, as applicable.
In order to manage financing costs and interest rate exposure related to our one-month LIBOR indexed variable rate borrowings, on August 13, 2015, we entered into ten interest rate swap agreements with multiple counterparties totaling $385,000,000 of notional value. These swap agreements became effective on November 2, 2015. These interest rate swaps effectively converted the interest rate on our one-month LIBOR indexed variable rate interest payments into a fixed weighted average rate of 1.563% plus the credit spread, which was 1.55% at December 31, 2018, or an all-in rate of 3.11%. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we repaid $215,000,000 of outstanding one-month LIBOR indexed variable rate borrowings and we terminated seven interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $215,000,000, for which we received termination payments, net of fees, of $973,000. On December 28, 2018, we repaid $40,000,000 of outstanding one-month LIBOR indexed variable rate borrowings and we terminated one interest rate swap with a notional value of $50,000,000, for which we received a termination payment, net of fees, of $684,000. On March 11, 2019, we repaid $120,000,000 of outstanding one-month LIBOR indexed variable rate borrowings and we terminated our two remaining interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $120,000,000, for which we received aggregate termination payments, net of fees, of $1,302,000. For a description of our derivative contracts, see Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on that evaluation, as of June 30, 2019, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded, as of that time, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms and include controls and procedures designed to ensure the information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is
