Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures As of December 31, 2021, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15I and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) at the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief 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 us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to 65 Table of Contents management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We reviewed the results of management’s assessment with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) . Based on their assessment, management determined that as of December 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm as stated in their report which appears herein. 66 Table of Contents REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Creative Media & Community Trust Corporation Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Creative Media & Community Trust Corporation (formerly, CIM Commercial Trust Corporation) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, of the Company and our report dated March 16, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Los Angeles, CA March 16, 2022 67 Table of Contents Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 16, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Investments in Real Estate – Evaluation of Impairment Indicators and Undiscounted Cash Flows – Refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements Critical Audit Matter Description The Company’s evaluation of investments in real estate for impairment involves an initial assessment of each real estate asset to determine whether events or changes in circumstances exist that may indicate that the carrying amounts of each investment in real estate is no longer recoverable. Possible indications of impairment may include changes in real estate market conditions, property performance, and additional property valuation assumptions including discount and terminal capitalization rates. When events or changes in circumstances exist, the Company evaluates its investment in real estate for impairment by comparing undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated over the life of each asset to the respective carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, an analysis is performed to determine the fair value of the asset. F-2 Table of Contents The Company makes significant assumptions to evaluate investments in real estate for possible indications of impairment. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the investment in real estate identified for further analysis. For those investments in real estate where indications of impairment have been identified, the Company makes significant estimates and assumptions to determine whether the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset exceed the carrying amount of the investment in real estate. Management concluded that the carrying value of the assets were recoverable and therefore were not subjected to a discounted cash flow analysis. Estimates and assumptions used for the undiscounted future cash flows of the office property include rental rates, lease-up period, growth rates, hold period, and terminal capitalization rates. We identified the determination of impairment indicators for investments in real estate and certain assumptions used for the undiscounted future cash flows of the properties as a critical audit matter because of (1) the significant assumptions management makes when determining whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred indicating that the carrying amounts of investments in real estate assets may not be recoverable and (2) for those investments in real estate where indications of impairment have been identified, the significant estimates and assumptions management makes to evaluate whether the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset exceed the carrying amount of the property, including those related to rental rates, lease-up period, growth rates, hold period, and terminal capitalization rates. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate (1) whether management appropriately identified impairment indicators and (2) the reasonableness of management’s assumptions related to rental rates, lease-up period, growth rates, hold period, and terminal capitalization rates for the undiscounted future cash flows analysis. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit • We tested the effectiveness of controls over (1) management’s identification of possible circumstances that may indicate that the carrying amounts of investments in real estate are no longer recoverable and (2) the undiscounted cash flows, including review of the underlying inputs. • We evaluated the accuracy and relevance of factors utilized in the Company’s qualitative assessment for a sample of properties. • We performed corroborating inquiries with management, including property accounting, leasing and portfolio oversight to determine whether factors were identified in the current period that may be an impairment indicator or whether factors were identified in the current period that may result in a change to assumptions used in the undiscounted cash flow models. • We evaluated whether the assumptions used in the Company’s undiscounted model relating to rental rates, lease-up period, growth rates, hold period, and terminal capitalization rates were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. • With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the undiscounted cash flow analysis, including office asset estimates of rental rates, lease-up periods, growth rates, hold period and terminal capitalization rates by (1) evaluating the source of information and assumptions used by management and (2) testing the mathematical accuracy of the undiscounted cash flow analysis. • We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s undiscounted cash flow analysis by comparing management’s projections to the Company’s historical results and external market sources. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Los Angeles, CA March 16, 2022 We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS Creative Media & Community Trust Corporation (formerly known as CIM Commercial Trust Corporation) (the “Company”), is a Maryland corporation and real estate investment trust (“REIT”). The Company’s portfolio of investments currently consists of Class A and creative office real assets in vibrant and improving metropolitan communities throughout the United States. The Company seeks to acquire, operate and develop premier multifamily and creative office assets that cater to rapidly growing industries such as technology, media and entertainment in vibrant and emerging communities throughout the United States. The Company seeks to apply the expertise of CIM Group, L.P. (“CIM Group”) to the acquisition, development and operation of top-tier multifamily properties situated in dynamic markets with similar business and employment characteristics to its creative office investments. The Company was originally organized in 1993 as PMC Commercial Trust (“PMC Commercial”), a Texas real estate investment trust. The Company’s 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.” The Company’s 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.” The Company has authorized for issuance 900,000,000 shares of common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”). The Company filed Articles of Amendment (the “Reverse Stock Split Amendment”) to effectuate a one-for-three reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock, effective on September 3, 2019 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split Amendment, every three shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split were converted into one share of Common Stock, par value $ 0.003 per share. In connection with the Reverse Split Amendment, the Company filed Articles of Amendment to revert the par value of the Common Stock issued and outstanding from $ 0.003 per share to $ 0.001 per share, effective as of September 3, 2019, following the effective time of the Reverse Split Amendment. All Common Stock and per share of Common Stock amounts set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the Reverse Stock Split, unless otherwise stated. The Company conducted a continuous public offering of Series A Preferred Units from October 2016 through January 2020, where each Series A Preferred Unit consisted of 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, subject to adjustment (the “Series A Preferred Stock Stated Value”), and one warrant (collectively, the “Series A Preferred Warrants”) to purchase 0.25 of a share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment (Note 10). Proceeds and expenses from the sale of the Series A Preferred Units were allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants using their relative fair values on the date of issuance. Since February 2020, the Company has been conducting a continuous public offering of Series A Preferred Stock and Series D preferred stock, par value $ 0.001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), with an initial stated value of $ 25.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Series D Preferred Stock Stated Value”). The selling price of the Series A Preferred Stock in the offering has been, and is expected to continue to be, $ 25.00 per share and the selling price of the Series D Preferred Stock was $ 25.00 per share for all sales that occurred from the beginning of the offering to and including June 28, 2020 and is expected to be, and since June 29, 2020, has been, $ 24.50 per share through the end of the life of the offering. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company conducted a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 8,521,589 shares of Common Stock at a subscription price of $ 9.25 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $ 78.8 million before issuance costs of $ 1.9 million. The Company 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 Basis of Presentation —The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). F-9 Table of Contents CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Continued) Principles of Consolidation —The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In determining whether the Company has controlling interests in an entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts in that entity, the Company analyzes its investments in real estate in accordance with standards set forth in GAAP to determine whether they are variable interest entities (“VIEs”), and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company’s judgment with respect to its level of influence or control over an entity and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE involves consideration of various factors, including the form of the Company’s ownership interest, the Company’s voting interest, the size of the Company’s investment (including loans), and the Company’s ability to participate in major policy-making decisions. The Company’s ability to correctly assess its influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in real estate on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has determined that the trust formed for the benefit of the note holders (the “Trust”) for the securitization of the unguaranteed portion of certain of the Company’s SBA 7(a) loans receivable is considered a VIE. Applying the consolidation requirements for VIEs, 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. Investments in Real Estate —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 Lesser of useful life or lease term The fair value of real estate acquired is recorded to acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, land improvements, building and improvements, tenant improvements, 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. Capitalized Project Costs The Company capitalizes 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. Recoverability of Investments in Real Estate —The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate assets may not be recoverable. Investments in real estate are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If, and when, such events or changes in circumstances are present, the recoverability of assets to be held and used requires significant judgment and estimates and is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets and their eventual disposition. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. The process for evaluating real estate impairment requires management to make significant assumptions related to certain inputs, including rental rates, lease-up period, occupancy, estimated holding periods, capital expenditures, growth rates, market discount rates and terminal capitalization rates. These inputs require a subjective evaluation based on the specific property and market. Changes in the assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value, the amount of impairment charge, if any, or both. Any asset held for sale is reported at the lower of the asset’s carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. When an asset is identified by the Company as held for sale, the Company will cease recording depreciation and amortization of the asset. The Company did no t recognize any impairment of long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Note 3). Cash and Cash Equivalents —Cash and cash equivalents include short-term liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less. F-10 Table of Contents CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Continued) Restricted Cash —The Company’s 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 the Company’s loans receivable. Loans Receivable —The Company’s loans receivable are carried at their unamortized principal balance less unamortized acquisition discounts and premiums, deferred origination fees, retained loan discounts and loan loss reserves. Acquisition discounts or premiums, origination fees and retained loan discounts are amortized as a component of interest and other income using the effective interest method over the life of the respective loans, or on a straight-line basis when it approximates the effective interest method. All loans were originated pursuant to programs sponsored by the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The programs consist of loans originated under the SBA 7(a) Small Business Loan Program (the “SBA 7(a) Program”) and, commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”). Pursuant to the SBA 7(a) Program, the Company sells 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 the Company is recorded at fair value and a discount is recorded as a reduction in basis of the retained portion of the loan. Unamortized retained loan discounts were $ 9.6 million and $ 7.8 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. At the closing of the merger between CIM Urban REIT, LLC (“CIM REIT”), an affiliate of CIM Group, and certain of its subsidiaries and PMC Commercial Trust, the predecessor to the Company, the carrying value of the Company’s loans was adjusted to estimated fair market value and acquisition discounts of $ 33.9 million were recorded, which are being accreted to interest and other income using the effective interest method. Acquisition discounts of $ 381,000 and $ 492,000 remained as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 the Company 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 the cost recovery basis. Loan Loss Reserves —On a quarterly basis, and more frequently if indicators exist, the Company evaluates the collectability of its loans receivable. The Company’s evaluation of collectability involves significant 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. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded net impairment losses of $ 19,000 and a net recovery of $ 16,000 , respectively, on its loans receivable. There were no material loans receivable subject to credit risk which were considered to be impaired as of December 31, 2021 or 2020. The Company considers a loan to be impaired when the Company does not expect to collect all of the contractual interest and principal payments as scheduled in the loan agreements. The Company also establishes 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 the Company. In addition to the reserves established on loans not considered impaired that have been evaluated under a specific evaluation, the Company establishes 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. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has loan loss reserves of $ 943,000 and $ 885,000 , respectively. Deferred Rent Receivable and Charges —Deferred rent receivable and charges consist of deferred rent, deferred leasing costs, deferred offering costs (Note 9) and other deferred costs. 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 offering costs represent direct costs incurred in connection with the Company’s offerings of Series A Preferred Units, and, after January 2020, Series A Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, excluding costs specifically identifiable to a closing, such as commissions, dealer-manager fees, and other offering fees and expenses. Generally, for a specific issuance of securities, issuance-specific offering costs are recorded as a reduction of proceeds raised on the issuance date and offering costs incurred but not directly related to a specifically identifiable closing of a security are deferred. Deferred offering costs are first allocated to each issuance of a security on a pro-rata basis equal to the F-11 Table of Contents CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Continued) ratio of the number of securities issued in a given issuance to the maximum number of securities that are expected to be issued in the related offering. In the case of the Series A Preferred Units, which were issued prior to February 2020, the issuance-specific offering costs and the deferred offering costs allocated to such issuance were further allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants 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. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, deferred rent receivable and charges, net consist of the following: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 (in thousands) Deferred rent receivable $ 20,870 $ 20,470 Deferred leasing costs, net of accumulated amortization of $ 8,971 and $ 7,742 , respectively 8,453 8,950 Deferred offering costs 6,281 6,046 Other deferred costs 491 490 Deferred rent receivable and charges, net $ 36,095 $ 35,956 Noncontrolling Interests —Noncontrolling interests represent the interests in various properties owned by third parties. Redeemable Preferred Stock —Beginning on the date of original issuance of any given shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, and from and after the fifth anniversary date of the original issuance of the Series L Preferred Stock, the holder of such shares has the right to require the Company to redeem such shares, subject to certain limitations as discussed in Note 9. The Company records the activity related to the Series A Preferred Warrants, Series D Preferred Stock and Series L Preferred Stock in permanent equity. In the event a holder of Series A Preferred Stock requests redemption of such shares and such redemption takes place prior to the first anniversary of the date of original issuance, the Company is required to pay such redemption in cash. As a result, the Company records issuances of Series A Preferred Stock in temporary equity. On the first anniversary of the date of original issuance of a particular share of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company reclassifies 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. Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Investments in Real Estate —The Company applies the acquisition method to all acquired real estate assets. The purchase consideration of the real estate, which includes the transaction costs incurred in connection with such acquisitions, is recorded at fair value 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 relative 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. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land (or acquired ground lease if the land is subject to a ground lease), land improvements, building and improvements, and tenant improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, legal, and other related costs. In allocating the purchase consideration of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market, below-market, and in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant F-12 Table of Contents CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Continued) to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease, and for below-market leases, over a period equal to the initial term plus any below-market fixed-rate renewal periods. Acquired above-market and below-market leases are amortized and recorded to rental and other property income over the initial terms of the respective leases. The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases and tenant relationships, is measured by the estimated cost of operations during a theoretical lease-up period to replace in-place leases, including lost revenues and any unreimbursed operating expenses, plus an estimate of deferred leasing commissions for in-place leases. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease is terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease are written-off. Revenue Recognition —At the inception of a revenue-producing contract, the Company determines if a contract qualifies as a lease and if not, then as a customer contract. Based on this determination, the appropriate treatment in accordance with GAAP is applied to the contract, including its revenue recognition. Revenue from leasing activities The Company operates as a lessor of real estate assets. When the Company enters into a contract or amends an existing contract, the Company evaluates if the contracts meet the definition of a lease using the following criteria: • One party (lessor) must hold an identified asset; • The counterparty (lessee) must have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period of the contract; and • The counterparty (lessee) must have the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of the contract. The Company determined that the Company’s contracts with its tenants explicitly identify the premises and that any substitution rights to relocate tenants to other premises within the same building stated in the contract are not substantive. Additionally, so long as payments are made timely under such contracts, the Company’s tenants have the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset and can direct how and for what purpose the premises are used to conduct their operations. Therefore, the contracts with the Company’s 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 probable 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, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is 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. Lease incentives of $ 4.0 million and $ 4.0 million are presented net of accumulated amortization of $ 2.7 million and $ 2.4 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. 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 and are included in rental and other property income in the period the expenses are incurred, with the corresponding expenses included in rental and other property operating expense. Tenant reimbursements are recognized and presented on a gross basis when the Company is 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. The Company has 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 the Company’s leases. In addition to minimum rents, certain leases, including the Company’s parking leases with third-party operators, 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. F-13 Table of Contents CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Continued) For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized rental income as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 (in thousands) Rental and other property income Fixed lease payments (1) $ 45,773 $ 50,245 Variable lease payments (2) 7,065 4,578 Rental and other property income $ 52,838 $ 54,823 (1) Fixed lease payments include contractual rents under lease agreements with tenants recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including amortization of acquired above-market leases, below-market leases and lease incentives. (2) Variable lease payments include expense reimbursements billed to tenants and percentage rent, net of bad debt expense from the Company’s operating leases plus cash payments from tenants deemed not probable of collections. Collectability of Lease-Related Receivables The Company continually reviews whether collection of lease-related receivables, including any straight-line rent, and current and future operating expense reimbursements from tenants is probable. The determination of whether collectability is probable takes into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. Upon the determination that the collectability of a receivable is not probable, the Company will record a reduction to rental and other property income and a decrease in the outstanding receivable. Revenue from leases where collection is deemed to be not probable is recorded on a cash basis until collectability becomes probable. Management’s estimate of the collectability of lease-related receivables is based on the best information available at the time of estimate. The Company does not use a general reserve approach. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had identified certain tenants where collection was no longer considered probable and decreased outstanding receivables by $ 579,000 and $ 1.9 million, respectively, across all operating leases. Revenue from lending activities Interest income included in interest and other income is comprised of interest earned on loans and the Company’s short-term investments and the accretion of loan 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 The Company recognizes revenue from hotel activities separate from its leasing activities. 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. F-14 Table of Contents CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Continued) 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 when the good or service is delivered to the customer. At inception of a contract with a customer for hotel goods and services, the contractual price is equivalent to the transaction price as there are no elements of variable consideration to estimate. The Company presents hotel revenues net of sales, occupancy, and other taxes. Below is a reconciliation of the hotel revenue from contracts with customers to the total hotel segment revenue disclosed in Note 16: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 (in thousands) Hotel properties Hotel income $ 16,722 $ 11,882 Rental and other property income 1,070 1,353 Interest and other income 57 79 Hotel revenues $ 17,849 $ 13,314 Tenant recoveries outside of the lease agreements Tenant recoveries outside of the lease agreements are related to construction projects in which the Company’s tenants have agreed to fully reimburse the Company 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. No amounts were recognized for tenant recoveries outside of the lease agreements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. As of December 31, 2021, there were no remaining performance obligations associated with tenant recoveries outside of the lease agreements. Premiums and Discounts on Debt — Premiums and discounts on debt are accreted or amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the respective term of the debt, which approximates the effective interest method. Stock-Based Compensation Plans —The Company has issued and continue to issue restricted shares under stock-based compensation plans described more fully in Note 8. The Company uses fair value recognition provisions to account for all awards granted, modified or settled. Earnings per Share (“EPS”) —Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Net income attributable to common stockholders includes a deduction for dividends due to preferred stockholders. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effect, if any, of securities such as stock-based compensation awards, warrants, including the Series A Preferred Warrants and preferred stock, including the Series A Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series L Preferred Stock, whose redemption is payable in shares of Common Stock or cash, at the discretion of the Company. The dilutive effect of stock-based compensation awards and warrants, including the Series A Preferred Warrants, is reflected in the weighted average diluted shares calculation by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of preferred stock, including the Series A Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series L Preferred Stock, whose redemption is payable in shares of Common Stock or cash, at the discretion of the Company, is reflected in the weighted average diluted shares calculation by application of the if-converted method. F-15 Table of Contents CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Continued) Distributions —Distributions on the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series L Preferred Stock and Common Stock are recorded when they are authorized by its Board of Directors and declared by the Company. Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations —In the ordinary course of business, the Company may periodically enter into agreements to dispose of its 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. The Company does not classify assets that are subject to such non-binding agreements as held for sale. The Company classifies 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. The Company generally believes that it meets these criteria when the plan for sale has been approved by its management, having the authority to approve the sale, 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 the Company 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. Derivative Financial Instruments —As part of risk management and operational strategies, from time to time, the Company may enter into derivative contracts with various counterparties. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their estimated fair value. Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative instrument and the designation of the derivative instrument. The change in fair value of the derivative instrument that is designated as a hedge is recorded as other comprehensive income. The changes in fair value for derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria are recorded as a gain or loss to operations. Income Taxes —The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the provisions of the Code. To the extent the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it generally will not be subject to a federal corporate income tax on its taxable income that is distributed to its stockholders. The Company may, however, be subject to certain federal excise taxes and state and local taxes on its income and property. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and will not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. In order to remain qualified as a REIT under the Code, the Company must satisfy various requirements in each taxable year, including, among others, limitations on share ownership, asset diversification, sources of income, and the distribution of at least 90% of its taxable income within the specified time in accordance with the Code. The Company has wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS’s”) which are subject to federal income taxes. The income generated from the taxable REIT subsidiaries is taxed at normal corporate rates. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company has established a policy on classification of penalties and interest related to audits of its federal and state income tax returns. If incurred, the Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits will be to record such items as a component of general and administrative expense. Penalties, if incurred, will be recorded in general and administrative expense and interest paid or received will be recorded in interest expense or interest income, respectively, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. ASC 740, Income Taxes , provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. The Company has reviewed all open tax years and concluded that the application of ASC 740 resulted in no material effect to its consolidated financial position or results of operations. F-16 Table of Contents CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Continued) 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. The Company bases such estimates on historical experience, information available at the time, and assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances and at such time, including the impact of extraordinary events such as COVID-19. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Concentration of Credit Risk —Financial instruments that subject us to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and interest rate swap agreements. The Company has its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with what it believes to be high-quality financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Management routinely assesses the financial strength of its tenants and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. The majority of the Company’s revenues are earned from properties located in California. The Company is subject to risks incidental to the ownership and operation of commercial real estate. These include, among others, the risks normally associated with changes in the general economic climate in the communities in which the Company operates, trends in the real estate industry, changes in tax laws, interest rate levels, availability of financing, and the potential liability under environmental and other laws. Segment Information —Segment information is prepared on the same basis that the Company’s management reviews information for operational decision-making purposes. The Company reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 consist of two types of commercial real estate properties, namely office and hotel, as well as a segment for its lending business. The products for the Company’s office segment primarily include rental of office space and other tenant services, including tenant reimbursements, parking, and storage space rental. The products for the Company’s hotel segment include revenues generated from the operations of hotel properties and rental income generated from a garage located directly across the street from the hotel. The income from the Company’s lending segment includes premium income recognized from the sale of the government guaranteed portion of loans receivable, income from the yield on its loans receivable and other related fee income earned on its loans receivable. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements— In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASU 2018-19”) in November 2018. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, ASU No. 2019-05, ASU No. 2019-10, ASU No. 2019-11 and ASU No. 2020-02 to provide additional guidance on the credit losses standard. ASU 2016-13 and the related updates improve financial reporting requiring more timely recognition of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held-for-investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investment in leases and other such commitments. ASU 2016-13 requires that financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 require the Company to measure all expected credit losses based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets and eliminates the “incurred loss” methodology under current GAAP. ASU 2018-19 clarified that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Topic 326. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). For smaller reporting companies, public entities that are not SEC filers, and entities that are not public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2016-13 and the related updates and remains in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements. On April 10, 2020, the FASB issued a question-and-answer document (the “Q&A”) to address stakeholder questions on the application of the lease accounting guidance for lease concessions related to the effects of COVID-19. The lease modification guidance in Topic 842, Leases , (or Topic 840, Leases ) would require the Company to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated within the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was made pursuant to the enforceable rights and obligations of the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). However, the Q&A provides F-17 Table of Contents CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Continued) that the Company may bypass the lease by lease analysis if certain criteria are met, and instead elect to either consistently apply, or consistently not apply, the lease modification framework to groups of leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances. As described below, the Company has elected not to apply the lease modification guidance to concessions related to the effects of COVID-19 that do not result in a substantial increase in the Company’s rights as lessor, including concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified lease being substantially the same as or less than the total payments required by the original lease. 3.

In September 2020, the 2018 revolving credit facility was amended (the “2018 Credit Facility Modification”) to remedy the effect that COVID-19 had on the Company’s ability to borrow under the 2018 revolving F-22 Table of Contents CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Continued) credit facility during the period from September 2, 2020 through August 14, 2021 (the “Deferral Period”). The 2018 revolving credit facility bore interest during the Deferral Period at (A) the base rate plus 1.05 % or (B) LIBOR plus 2.05 % and (ii) bears interest after the Deferral Period, at (A) the base rate plus 0.55 % or (B) LIBOR plus 1.55 %. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the variable interest rate was 2.15 % and 2.20 %, respectively. The 2018 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 2018 revolving credit facility is secured by deeds of trust on certain of the Company’s properties. The 2018 revolving credit facility contains customary covenants and is not subject to any financial covenants (though the amount the Company may borrow under the 2018 revolving credit facility is determined by a borrowing base calculation). The 2018 revolving credit facility matures in October 2022 and provides for one one-year extension option under certain conditions, including providing notice of the election and paying an extension fee of 0.15 % of each lender’s commitment being extended on the effective date of such extension. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, $ 60.0 million and $ 166.5 million, respectively, was outstanding under the 2018 revolving credit facility, and approximately $ 117.6 million and $ 28.0 million, respectively, was available for future borrowings. 2020 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility —In May 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured revolving credit facility with a bank (the “2020 unsecured revolving credit facility”) pursuant to which the Company can borrow up to a maximum of $ 10.0 million. Outstanding advances under the 2020 unsecured revolving credit facility bear interest at the rate of 1.00 %. The Company also pays a revolving credit facility fee of 1.12 % with each advance under the 2020 unsecured revolving credit facility, which fee is subject to a cap of $ 112,000 in the aggregate. The 2020 unsecured revolving credit facility contains certain customary covenants including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as well as certain other conditions. The 2020 unsecured revolving credit facility matures in May 2022.

Junior Subordinated Notes —The Company has junior subordinated notes with a variable interest rate which resets quarterly based on the three-month LIBOR plus 3.25 %, with quarterly interest only payments. The junior subordinated balance is due at maturity on March 30, 2035. The junior subordinated notes may be redeemed at par at the Company’s option. SBA 7(a) Loan-Backed Notes —On May 30, 2018, the Company completed a securitization of the unguaranteed portion of certain of its SBA 7(a) loans receivable with the issuance of $ 38.2 million of unguaranteed SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes. The SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes are secured by deeds of trust or mortgages and are collateralized solely by the right to receive payments and other recoveries attributable to the unguaranteed portions of certain of the Company’s 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 the Company’s collateralized SBA 7(a) loans, at issuance, the Company estimated the weighted average remaining 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 %. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the variable interest rate was 1.49 % and 1.55 %, respectively. The Company reflects the SBA 7(a) loans receivable as assets on its consolidated balance sheets and the SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes as debt on its consolidated balance sheets. The restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets included funds related to the Company’s SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes of $ 1.9 million and $ 1.2 million, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility —In June 2020, the Company commenced borrowing funds from the Federal Reserve through the PPP Liquidity Facility (the “PPPLF”) to finance all the loans the Company originated under the PPP. Advances under the PPPLF carry an interest rate of 0.35 %, are made on a dollar-for-dollar basis based on the amount of loans originated under the PPP and are secured by loans made by the Company under the PPP. The PPPLF contains customary covenants but is not subject to any financial covenants. The maturity date of PPPLF borrowings is the same as the maturity date of the loans pledged to secure the extension of credit, generally two years. At maturity, both principal and accrued interest are due. The maturity date of a PPPLF borrowing will be accelerated if, among other things, the Company has been reimbursed by the SBA for a loan forgiveness (to the extent of the forgiveness), the Company has received payment from the SBA representing exercise of the loan guarantee or the Company has received payment from the underlying borrower (to the extent of the payment received). As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, $ 5.0 million and $ 14.5 million, respectively, was outstanding under the PPPLF. As the PPP has ended, no new extensions of credit may be made under the PPPLF. Deferred debt issuance costs, which represent legal and third-party fees incurred in connection with the Company’s 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 debt issuance costs are presented net of accumulated amortization and are a reduction to total debt.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS On April 3, 2015, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) unanimously approved the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Equity Incentive Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s stockholders. Under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company granted awards of restricted shares of Common Stock to each of the independent members of the Board of Directors. A summary of the Company’s restricted shares as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the changes during the years ended is as follows: Weighted Number Average Grant of Date Fair Value Shares (1) Per Share (1) Balance, December 31, 2019 3,880 $ 56.66 Granted 21,912 $ 10.04 Vested ( 3,880 ) $ 56.66 Balance, December 31, 2020 21,912 $ 10.04 Granted 20,332 $ 10.82 Vested ( 21,912 ) $ 10.04 Balance, December 31, 2021 20,332 $ 10.82 (1) Amounts have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

The estimated fair value of restricted shares vested during 2021 and 2020 was $ 220,000 and $ 220,000 , respectively. 8. EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”) The computations of basic EPS are based on the Company’s weighted average shares outstanding. Outstanding Series A Preferred Warrants were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 because their impact was either anti-dilutive or such warrants were not exercisable during such periods (Note 10). No shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 had a dilutive effect. Outstanding shares of Series L Preferred Stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 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. The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator used in computing the Company’s basic and diluted per-share amounts for net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 (in thousands, except per share amounts) Numerator: Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders $ ( 19,979 ) $ ( 33,467 ) Redeemable preferred stock dividends declared on dilutive shares — ( 1 ) Diluted net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders $ ( 19,979 ) $ ( 33,468 ) Denominator: Basic weighted average shares of Common Stock outstanding 19,187 14,748 Effect of dilutive securities—contingently issuable shares — — Diluted weighted average shares and common stock equivalents outstanding 19,187 14,748 Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders per share: Basic $ ( 1.04 ) $ ( 2.27 ) Diluted $ ( 1.04 ) $ ( 2.27 ) F-25 Table of Contents CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Continued) 9.

In connection with such issuance, costs specifically identifiable to the offering of Series A Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Warrants and Series D Preferred Stock, such as commissions, dealer manager fees and other offering fees and expenses, totaled $ 15.9 million ($ 15.7 million of which was allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock, $ 142,000 of which was allocated to the Series A Preferred Warrants, and $ 35,000 of which was allocated to the Series D Preferred Stock). In addition, as of December 31, 2021, non-issuance-specific costs related to this offering totaled $ 8.0 million. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has reclassified and allocated $ 1.7 million, $ 5,000 and $ 13,000 from deferred charges to Series A Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Warrants and Series D Preferred Stock, respectively, as a reduction to the gross proceeds received. Such reclassification was based on the cumulative number of securities issued relative to the maximum number of securities expected to be issued under the offering. As of December 31, 2021, there were 7,903,302 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding, 4,541,852 Series A Preferred Warrants to purchase 1,178,125 shares of Common Stock outstanding, and 56,857 shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding.

Proceeds and expenses from the sale of the Series A Preferred Units were allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants using their relative fair values on the date of issuance. Since February 2020, the Company has been conducting a continuous public offering with respect to shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, which, since such time, is no longer being issued as a unit with an accompanying Series A Preferred Warrant. F-26 Table of Contents CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Continued) Net proceeds from the issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock are initially recorded in temporary equity at an amount equal to the gross proceeds allocated to such shares of Series A Preferred Stock minus the costs specifically identifiable to the issuance of such shares and the non-issuance specific offering costs allocated to such shares. If the net proceeds from the issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock are less than the redemption value of such shares at the time they are issued, or if the redemption value of such shares subsequently becomes greater than the carrying value of such shares, an adjustment is recorded to increase the carrying amount of such shares to their redemption value as of the balance sheet date. Such adjustment is considered a deemed dividend for purposes of calculating basic and diluted EPS. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company recorded redeemable preferred stock deemed dividends of $ 253,000 and $ 377,000 , respectively, related to such adjustments. On the first anniversary of the issuance of a particular share of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company reclassifies 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.

Series L Preferred Stock —On November 21, 2017, the Company 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.

The Company repurchased 2,693,580 shares of Series L Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $ 29.12 per share, as converted to and paid in ILS. The shares of Series L Preferred Stock accepted for payment by the Company were restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock without designation as to class or series. Until the fifth anniversary of the date of original issuance of the Series L Preferred Stock, the Company is 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. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company was in compliance with the Series L Preferred Stock Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Refer to Note 12 for a discussion of certain payments the Company has made in shares of Common Stock and in shares of Preferred Stock and may make in shares of Preferred Stock in lieu of cash payments in order to remain in compliance with the Series L Preferred Stock Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Dividends —With respect to the payment of dividends, the Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Series L Preferred Stock and the Common Stock, and on parity with the Series D Preferred Stock. The Series L Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock (except with respect to and only to the extent of the Initial Dividend) and junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Common Stock (with respect to and only to the extent of the Initial Dividend). With respect to the distribution of amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the Series A Preferred Stock ranks on parity with the Series D Preferred Stock and Series L Preferred Stock, to the extent of the Series L Preferred Stock Stated Value, and otherwise ranks senior to the Series L Preferred Stock and the Common Stock. With respect to the distribution of amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the Series L Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock, both (i) to the extent of the Series L Preferred Stock Stated Value and (ii) following payment to holders of the Common Stock of an F-27 Table of Contents CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Continued) amount equal to any unpaid Initial Dividend, to the extent of any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series L Preferred Stock, on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, to the extent of the Series L Preferred Stock Stated Value and junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Common Stock (to the extent of the Initial Dividend), in all instances with respect to any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series L Preferred Stock. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, if, as and when authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors, and declared by the Company out of legally available funds, cumulative cash dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock at an annual rate of 5.50 % of the Series A Preferred Stock Stated Value (i.e., the equivalent of $ 0.34375 per share per quarter) (the “Series A Dividend”). Holders of Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, if, as and when authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors, and declared by the Company out of legally available funds, cumulative cash dividends on each share of Series D Preferred Stock at an annual rate of 5.65 % of the Series D Preferred Stock Stated Value (i.e., the equivalent of $ 0.35313 per share per quarter) (the “Series D Dividend”). Dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock begin accruing on, and are cumulative from, the date of issuance. The Company expects to pay the Series A Dividend and Series D Dividend in arrears on a monthly basis in accordance with the foregoing provisions, unless the Company’s results of operations, general financing conditions, general economic conditions, applicable requirements of the MGCL or other factors make it imprudent to do so. The timing and amount of the Series A Dividend and the Series D Dividend will be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, and may vary from time to time. Holders of Series L Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, if, as and when authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors, and declared by the Company out of legally available funds, cumulative cash dividends on each share of Series L Preferred Stock at an annual rate of 5.50 % of the Series L Preferred Stock Stated Value (i.e., the equivalent of $ 1.56035 per share per year).

The Company expects to pay dividends on the Series L Preferred Stock in arrears on an annual basis in accordance with the foregoing provisions, unless the Company’s results of operations, general financing conditions, general economic conditions, applicable requirements of the MGCL or other factors make it imprudent to do so. 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 1.00 % per year, up to a maximum rate of 8.50 % per annum. However, prior to the payment of any distributions on Series L Preferred Stock in respect of a given year, the Company must first declare and pay dividends on the Common Stock in respect of such year in an aggregate amount equal to the Initial Dividend announced by the Company’s Board of Directors at the end of the prior fiscal year. On December 29, 2021, the Company announced an Initial Dividend on shares of its Common Stock for fiscal year 2021 in the aggregate amount of $ 7,010,799 . During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company paid $ 9.6 million, $ 50,000 and $ 8.4 million of cash dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series L Preferred Stock, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company paid $ 8.1 million, $ 12,000 and $ 8.4 million of cash dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series L Preferred Stock, respectively. Redemptions —The Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock are redeemable at the option of the holder or the Company. The redemption schedule of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock allows redemptions at the option of the holder of Series A Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock from the date of original issuance of any such shares at the Series A Preferred Stock Stated Value or Series D Preferred Stock Stated Value, respectively, less a redemption fee applicable prior to the fifth anniversary of the issuance of such shares, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Company has the right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock after the fifth anniversary of the date of original issuance of such shares at the Series A Preferred Stock Stated Value or Series D Preferred Stock Stated Value, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. At the Company’s discretion, the redemption price will be paid in cash or in Common Stock based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock for the 20 trading days prior to the redemption; provided that the redemption price of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock redeemed prior to the first anniversary of the date of original issuance of such shares must be paid in cash. 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 F-28 Table of Contents CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Continued) shares of the Company’s Series L Preferred Stock may require the Company 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) the Company does 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) the Company does 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 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 the Company’s Common Stock as most recently published by the Company as of the effective date of redemption and (ii) the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s 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 the Company’s Common Stock, based on the conversion mechanisms set forth in (A) and (B), respectively. 10. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Dividends Holders of the Company’s Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, if, as and when authorized by the Board of Directors and declared by the Company out of legally available funds. In determining the Company’s dividend policy, the Board of Directors considers many factors including the amount of cash resources available for dividend distributions, capital spending plans, cash flow, the Company’s 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. Cash dividends per share of Common Stock paid in respect of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 consist of the following: Declaration Date Payment Date Type Cash Dividend Per Share of Common Stock September 7, 2021 September 29, 2021 Regular Quarterly $ 0.075 June 7, 2021 June 30, 2021 Regular Quarterly $ 0.075 March 5, 2021 March 30, 2021 Regular Quarterly $ 0.075 December 2, 2020 December 29, 2020 Regular Quarterly $ 0.075 September 2, 2020 September 29, 2020 Regular Quarterly $ 0.075 June 3, 2020 June 29, 2020 Regular Quarterly $ 0.075 March 2, 2020 March 25, 2020 Regular Quarterly $ 0.075 On December 9, 2021, the Company declared a cash dividend of $ 0.075 per share of its Common Stock, which was paid on January 5, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 20, 2021. On March 8, 2022, the Company declared a cash dividend of $ 0.085 per share of its Common Stock, to be paid on April 1, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 19, 2022. Rights Offering During the year ended December 31, 2021 , the Company conducted the Rights Offering pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 8,521,589 shares of Common Stock at a subscription price of $ 9.25 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $ 78.8 million. Offering costs of $ 1.9 million were incurred in connection with the Rights Offering and recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. Series A Preferred Warrants Prior to February 2020, the Series A Preferred Stock was sold as a unit that included one share of Series A Preferred Stock and one Series A Preferred Warrant that could be exercised 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. At the time of issuance, the exercise price of each Series A Preferred Warrant was at a 15.0 % premium to the per share estimated NAV of the Company’s Common Stock then most recently published and designated as the applicable NAV. However, in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred Warrants, the exercise F-29 Table of Contents CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Continued) price of each Series A Preferred Warrant issued prior to the Reverse Stock Split was automatically adjusted to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split and, in the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, the exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of each Series A Preferred Warrant issued prior to the Special Dividend was adjusted to reflect the effect of the Special Dividend. Proceeds and expenses from the sale of the Series A Preferred Units were allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants using their relative fair values on the date of issuance. As of December 31, 2021, there were 4,541,852 Series A Preferred Warrants outstanding to purchase 1,178,125 shares of Common Stock in connection with the Company’s offering of Series A Preferred Units and allocated net proceeds of $ 610,000 to the warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2021 , after specifically identifiable offering costs and allocated general offering costs, to the Series A Preferred Warrants in permanent equity. 11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company determines 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. Management’s estimation of the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments 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 the Company’s financial instruments and the Company utilizes 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 the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The following describes the methods the Company uses to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities. Debt —The carrying amounts of the Company’s secured borrowings—government guaranteed loans, SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes, 2018 revolving credit facility and borrowed funds from the Federal Reserve through the PPPLF approximate their fair values, as the interest rates on these securities are variable and approximate current market interest rates. The Company determines the fair value of mortgage notes payable and junior subordinated notes by performing discounted cash flow analyses using an appropriate market discount rate. The Company calculates the market discount rate for its mortgage notes payable by obtaining period-end treasury or swap rates, as applicable, for maturities that correspond to the maturities of the Company’s debt and then adding an appropriate credit spread. These credit spreads take into account factors such as the Company’s credit standing, the maturity of the debt, whether the debt is secured or unsecured, and the loan-to-value ratios of the debt. When estimating the fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company used a rate of 3.22 % and 3.38 %, respectively. The rate used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s junior subordinated notes was 4.46 % and 4.49 % as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. F-30 Table of Contents CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Continued) Loans Receivable —The Company determines the fair value of loans receivable by performing a present value analysis for the anticipated future cash flows using an appropriate market discount rate taking into consideration the credit risk and using an anticipated prepayment rate. The value of the government guaranteed portions of loans held for sale is based primarily on the anticipated proceeds to be received upon sale. The following summarizes the ranges of discount rates and prepayment rates used to arrive at the estimated fair values of the Company’s loans receivable: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Discount Rate Prepayment Rate Discount Rate Prepayment Rate SBA 7(a) loans receivable, subject to credit risk 6.25 % - 8.25 % 5.00 % - 17.50 % 6.50 % - 8.25 % 4.00 % - 17.50 % SBA 7(a) loans receivable, subject to loan-backed notes 5.75 % - 7.75 % 5.00 % - 17.50 % 5.50 % - 8.00 % 4.88 % - 17.50 % SBA 7(a) loans receivable, subject to secured borrowings 7.00 % - 7.75 % 5.00 % - 17.50 % 7.00 % - 7.75 % 5.00 % - 17.50 % SBA 7(a) loans receivable, paycheck protection program 1.00 % N/A 1.00 % N/A Other Financial Instruments —The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities at December 31, 2021 and 2020. Due to the short-term maturities of these instruments, Level 1 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments. The estimated fair values of those financial instruments which are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets are as follows: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Carrying Estimated Carrying Estimated Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value Level (in thousands) Assets: SBA 7(a) loans receivable, paycheck protection program $ 4,903 $ 5,050 $ 14,089 $ 14,484 3 SBA 7(a) loans receivable, subject to loan-backed notes $ 18,077 $ 19,635 $ 23,606 $ 24,850 3 SBA 7(a) loans receivable, subject to credit risk $ 42,416 $ 44,399 $ 32,509 $ 32,397 3 SBA 7(a) loans receivable, subject to secured borrowings $ 6,891 $ 6,976 $ 8,822 $ 8,914 3 SBA 7(a) loans receivable, held for sale $ 1,256 $ 1,355 $ 4,109 $ 4,527 3 Liabilities: Mortgage payable (1) $ 97,100 $ 100,838 $ 97,100 $ 100,799 2, 3 Junior subordinated notes (1) $ 27,070 $ 24,378 $ 27,070 $ 24,236 3 (1) The carrying amounts for the mortgage payable and junior subordinated notes represents the principal outstanding amounts, excluding deferred debt issuance costs and discounts. 12.

Base Fee: A base asset management fee (the “Base Fee”) is payable quarterly in arrears to the Operator in an amount equal to an annual rate of 1 % (or 0.25 % per quarter) of the average of the “Net Asset Value Attributable to Common Stockholders” as of the first and last day of the applicable quarter. Net Asset Value Attributable to Common stockholders is defined as (a) the sum of the Company’s (1) investments in real estate at fair value, (2) cash, (3) loans receivable at fair value and (4) the book value of the other assets of the Company, excluding deferred costs and net of other liabilities at book value, less (b) the Company’s (i) debt at face value, (ii) outstanding preferred stock at stated value, and (iii) non-controlling interests at book value; provided, that, non-controlling interests in any UPREIT operating partnership relating to the Company shall not be excluded. 2. Incentive Fee: An incentive fee (the “Revised Incentive Fee”) is payable quarterly in arrears to the Administrator with respect to the quarterly core funds from operations in excess of a quarterly threshold equal to 1.75 % (i.e., 7.00 % on an annualized basis) of the Company’s “Adjusted Common Equity” (as defined below) for such quarter (“Excess Core FFO”) as follows: (i) no Incentive Fee in any quarter in which the Excess Core FFO is $ 0 ; (ii) 100 % of any Excess Core FFO up to an amount equal to the product of (x) the average of the Adjusted Common Equity as of the first and last day of the applicable quarter and (y) 0.4375 %; and (iii) 20 % of any Excess Core FFO thereafter. Revised Incentive Fees payable for any partial quarter will be appropriately prorated. “Adjusted Common Equity” means Common Equity plus Excluded Depreciation and Amortization. “Common Equity” means Total Stockholders’ Equity minus Excluded Equity. “Total Stockholders’ Equity” means the amount reflected as total stockholders’ equity in accordance with GAAP on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the last day of a given quarter. “Excluded Equity” means the sum of all preferred securities of the Company and its subsidiaries classified as permanent equity in accordance with GAAP on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the last day of a given quarter. “Excluded Depreciation and Amortization” means, for a given quarter, the amount of all accumulated depreciation and amortization of (i) the Company and its subsidiaries and (ii) to the extent allocable to the Company and its subsidiaries, the unconsolidated affiliates, in each case as of the last day of such quarter that corresponds to the periodic depreciation and amortization expense calculated in each case in accordance with GAAP that is a permitted add back to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP when calculating funds from operations.

Capital Gains Fee: A capital gains fee (the “Capital Gains Fee”) is payable quarterly in arrears to the Administrator in an amount equal to (i) 15 % of the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains minus the cumulative aggregate realized capital losses (in each case since the Effective Date), minus (ii) the aggregate capital gains fees paid since the Effective Date. Realized capital gains and realized capital losses are calculated by subtracting from the sales price of a property: (a) any costs incurred to sell such property, and (b) the current gross value of the property (meaning the property’s original acquisition price plus any subsequent, non-reimbursed capital improvements thereon paid for by the Company). Following the end of each quarter, the Administrator will deliver to the Company (i) a calculation of the cumulative fees earned by the Operator and the Administrator under the methodology prescribed by the Fee Waiver (the “Fee Waiver Methodology”) from the Effective Date through the end of such quarter and (ii) a calculation of the cumulative fees that would have been earned, in the absence of the Fee Waiver, by the Operator and the Administrator during such period under the Master Services Agreement and the Investment Management Agreement, without giving effect to the Fee Waiver (the “Pre-Fee Waiver Methodology”). If, in respect of any quarter, the aggregate fees that are payable under the Fee Waiver Methodology exceed the aggregate fees that would have been payable under the Pre-Fee Waiver Methodology for the equivalent period, such quarter is deemed an “Excess Quarter”. For any quarter following an Excess Quarter, the Company (upon the direction of the independent members of the Board) may, at its option and upon written notice to Administrator, elect to calculate all fees due to the Administrator and the Operator in accordance with the Pre-Fee Waiver Methodology from and after such Excess Quarter. Any election by the Company to adopt the Pre-Fee Waiver Methodology is irrevocable, and all fees due to the Administrator and the Operator from and after such election will be calculated in accordance with the Pre-Fee Waiver Methodology . Other During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s President, Jan F. Salit, retired effective as of September 16, 2020. Mr. Salit received a $ 450,000 payment, representing one year of his base salary, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions specified therein, including the execution of an agreement with the Company that contains, among other things, mutual release and non-disparagement provisions. Related to this payment, $ 287,000 was borne by the Company based on the time that Mr. Salit devoted to the Company relative to other matters relating to CIM Group. On October 1, 2015, an affiliate of CIM Group entered into a five-year lease renewal with respect to a property owned by the Company, which was terminated in October 2020. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded rental and other property income related to this tenant of $ 0 and $ 87,000 , respectively. On May 15, 2019, CIM Group entered into an approximately 11-year lease for approximately 32,000 rentable square feet with respect to a property owned by the Company. The lease was amended on August 7, 2019 to reduce the rentable square feet to approximately 30,000 rentable square feet. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded rental and other property income related to this tenant of $ 1.5 million. 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Loan Commitments —Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer when the terms established in the contract are met. The Company’s outstanding commitments to fund loans were $ 32.6 million as of December 31, 2021, the majority of which are for prime-based loans to be originated by the Company’s subsidiary engaged in SBA 7(a) Small Business Loan 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, the Company has certain obligations for the payment of tenant improvement allowances and lease commissions in connection with new leases and renewals. the Company had a total of $ 8.1 million in future obligations under leases to fund tenant improvements and other future construction obligations as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, $ 2.5 million was funded to reserve accounts included in restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet for these tenant improvement obligations in connection with the mortg age loan agreement entered into in June 2016. Employment Agreements —The Company has an employment agreement with one of its officers. Under certain circumstances, this employment agreement provides for (1) severance payment equal to the annual base salary paid to the F-36 Table of Contents CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Continued) 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 officer. Litigation —The Company is not currently involved in any material pending or threatened legal proceedings nor, to the Company’s knowledge, are any material legal proceedings currently threatened against the Company, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the normal course of business, the Company is periodically party to certain legal actions and proceedings involving matters that are generally incidental to the Company’s 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 the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or the Company’s ability to satisfy its debt service obligations or to maintain its level of distributions on Common Stock or Preferred Stock. In September 2018, the Company filed a lawsuit against the City and County of San Francisco seeking a refund of the $ 11.8 million in penalties, interest and legal fees paid by the Company for real property transfer tax allegedly due for a transaction in a prior year. The Company disputed that such penalties, interest and legal fees were payable but, in order to contest the asserted tax obligations, the Company had to pay such amounts to the City and County of San Francisco in August 2017. The Company has been vigorously pursuing this litigation and intends to continue to do so. 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, the Company is unable to estimate a range of potential losses due to the complexity and current status of the lawsuit. However, the Company maintains 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 the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or the Company ability to satisfy its debt service obligations or to maintain the level of distributions on the Company’s 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 PPP or the SBA 7(a) Small Business Loan Program, the SBA may seek recovery of the principal loss related to the deficiency from the Company. As of December 31, 2021, the Company serviced an aggregate of $ 262.4 million of the guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loans . 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 the Company in the event that a loss is deemed to be attributable to technical deficiencies. Based on historical experience, the Company does not expect that this contingency is probable to be asserted. However, if asserted, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or the Company’s ability to satisfy its debt service obligations or to maintain its level of distributions on Common Stock or Preferred Stock. Environmental Matters —In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate properties, the Company may be potentially liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters, including asbestos-containing materials. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any noncompliance, liability, or other claim in connection with any of the properties, and the Company is not aware of any other environmental condition with respect to any of the properties that management believes will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or the Company’s ability to satisfy its debt service obligations or to maintain its level of distributions on Common Stock or Preferred Stock.

INCOME TAXES The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that the Company distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on net income that is currently distributed to stockholders. The Company has wholly-owned TRS’s which are subject to federal and state income taxes. The income generated from the TRS’s is taxed at normal corporate rates. The provision for income taxes results in effective tax rates that differ from federal and state statutory rates. A reconciliation of the provision for income tax attributable to the TRSs’ income from continuing operations computed at federal statutory rates to the income tax provision reported in the financial statements is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 (in thousands) (Loss) income from continuing operations before income taxes for TRSs $ 9,242 $ ( 7,995 ) Expected federal income tax (benefit) provision $ 1,941 $ ( 1,679 ) State income taxes ( 40 ) ( 1,562 ) Change in valuation allowance ( 273 ) 2,605 Other 1,364 ( 86 ) Income tax (benefit) provision $ 2,992 $ ( 722 ) F-38 Table of Contents CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Continued) The components of the Company’s net deferred tax asset, which are included in other assets, are as follows: December 31, 2021 2020 (in thousands) Deferred tax assets: Net operating losses $ 2,367 $ 2,645 Secured borrowings—government guaranteed loans 64 96 Other 153 160 Total gross deferred tax assets 2,584 2,901 Valuation allowance ( 2,370 ) ( 2,643 ) 214 258 Deferred tax liabilities: Loans receivable ( 96 ) ( 67 ) ( 96 ) ( 67 ) Deferred tax asset, net $ 118 $ 191 The net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 were generated by TRSs and are available to offset future taxable income of these TRSs. The decrease in the valuation allowance recorded in 2021 was $ 273,000 . The periods subject to examination for the Company’s federal and state income tax returns are 2018 through 2021. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, no reserves for uncertain tax positions have been established and the Company does not anticipate any material changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits recorded to occur within the next 12 months. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, signed into law in late December 2017, made sweeping changes to provisions of the Code applicable to businesses. The CARES Act, signed into law in March 2020, made additional changes to provisions on the Code applicable to the businesses. Management has reviewed these statutory changes and determined that the impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements is not material. 16. SEGMENT DISCLOSURE The Company’s reportable segments during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 consist of two types of commercial real estate properties, namely, office and hotel, as well as a segment for the Company’s lending business. Management internally evaluates the operating performance and financial results of the segments based on net operating income. The Company also has 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 Note 2. For the Company’s real estate segments, the Company defines net operating income (loss) 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 (benefit) for income taxes. For the Company’s lending segment, the Company defines net operating income as interest income net of interest expense and general overhead expenses.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Property Acquisitions In February 2022, the Company and a co-investor acquired from an unrelated third-party a 100 % fee-simple interest in an office property located in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California for a purchase price of $ 51.0 million, which excludes transaction costs of $ 51,000 that were incurred in connection with this acquisition. The property has approximately 97,564 square feet of office space and 2,760 square feet of retail space. The Company owns approximately 44 % of this property.
