Distributions are reinvested in shares of the Company’s common stock for participants in the DRIP at the estimated per share NAV as determined by the Board. Additionally, the estimated per share NAV as determined by the Board serves as the per share NAV for purposes of the share redemption program. As of September 30, 2022, the estimated per share NAV of the Company’s common stock was $ 7.20 , which was established by the Board on May 25, 2021 using a valuation date of March 31, 2021. Commencing on May 26, 2021, $ 7.20 served as the per share NAV under the DRIP. The Board previously established a per share NAV as of August 31, 2015, September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016, December 31, 2017, December 31, 2018, December 31, 2019, March 31, 2020, and June 30, 2020. The Company’s estimated per share NAVs are not audited or reviewed by its independent registered public accounting firm.
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements for the interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of full year results. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, and related notes thereto, set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The condensed consolidated financial statements should also be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions 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 credit and real estate investments 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 credit and real estate investments on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company disposed of two properties previously owned through a consolidated joint venture arrangement (the “Consolidated Joint Venture”) and therefore determined it no longer had a controlling financial interest in the Consolidated Joint Venture as of September 30, 2022. See Note 4 — Real Estate Assets for additional information.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the Company’s prior period condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Other than as shown below, these reclassifications had no effect on previously reported totals or subtotals. The reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, and to the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as follows (in thousands):
As of December 31, 2021
As previously reported Reclassifications As Revised
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
Rents and tenant receivables, net $ 61,468 $ ( 2,520 ) $ 58,948
Prepaid expenses and other assets $ 13,759 $ 2,520 $ 16,279
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
As previously reported Reclassifications As Revised
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
Rents and tenant receivables, net $ 15,889 $ 2,339 $ 18,228
Prepaid expenses and other assets $ ( 7,908 ) $ ( 2,339 ) $ ( 10,247 )
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Real Estate Assets
Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company considers the period of future benefit of each respective asset to determine the appropriate useful life. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s real estate assets by class are generally as follows:
Buildings 40 years
Site improvements 15 years
Tenant improvements Lesser of useful life or lease term
Intangible lease assets Lease term
Recoverability of Real Estate Assets
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. Impairment indicators that the Company considers include, but are not limited to: bankruptcy or other credit concerns of a property’s major tenant, such as a history of late payments, lease concessions and other factors; a significant decrease in a property’s revenues due to lease terminations; vacancies; co-tenancy clauses; reduced lease rates; changes in anticipated holding periods; and significant increases to budgeted costs for units under development. When indicators of potential impairment are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying amount of the assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount, the Company will adjust the real estate assets to their respective fair values and recognize an impairment loss. Generally, fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis and recent comparable sales transactions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as part of the Company’s quarterly impairment review procedures, the Company recorded impairment charges of $ 11.9 million related to 19 properties, all of which was due to sales prices that were less than their respective carrying values. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, certain condominium units
12

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
were deemed to be impaired and their carrying values were reduced to their estimated fair value, resulting in impairment charges of $ 7.9 million. The Company’s impairment assessment as of September 30, 2022 was based on the most current information available to the Company, including expected holding periods. If the Company’s expected holding periods for assets change, subsequent tests for impairment could result in additional impairment charges in the future. The Company cannot provide any assurance that additional material impairment charges with respect to the Company’s real estate assets will not occur during 2022 or in future periods. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded impairment charges of $ 5.3 million related to 11 properties, of which impairment at seven properties was due to sales prices that were less than their respective carrying values and impairment at four properties was due to vacancy. The assumptions and uncertainties utilized in the evaluation of the impairment of real estate assets are discussed in detail in Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements. See also Note 4 — Real Estate Assets for further discussion regarding real estate investment activity.
Assets Held for Sale
When a real estate asset is identified by the Company as held for sale, the Company will cease recording depreciation and amortization of the assets related to the property and estimate its fair value, net of selling costs. If, in management’s opinion, the fair value, net of selling costs, of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to the carrying amount is then recorded to reflect the estimated fair value of the property, net of selling costs. As of September 30, 2022, there were no assets identified as held for sale. As of December 31, 2021, in connection with the Purchase and Sale Agreement (as defined in Note 4 — Real Estate Assets), the Company identified 81 properties with a carrying value of $ 1.3 billion as held for sale, all of which were disposed of during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Dispositions of Real Estate Assets
Gains and losses from dispositions are recognized once the various criteria relating to the terms of sale and any subsequent involvement by the Company with the asset sold are met. A discontinued operation includes only the disposal of a component of an entity and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results. The Company’s dispositions during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 did not qualify for discontinued operations presentation and thus, the results of the properties and condominiums that were sold will remain in operating income, and any associated gains or losses from the dispositions are included in gain on disposition of real estate and condominium developments, net. See Note 4 — Real Estate Assets for a discussion of the disposition of individual properties and condominiums during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate Assets
Upon the acquisition of real properties, the Company allocates the purchase price to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, and to identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above- and below-market leases and the value of in-place leases and other intangibles, based in each case on their relative fair values. The Company utilizes independent appraisals to assist in the determination of the fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and buildings). The information in the appraisal, along with any additional information available to the Company’s management, is used in estimating the amount of the purchase price that is allocated to land. Other information in the appraisal, such as building value and market rents, may be used by the Company’s management in estimating the allocation of purchase price to the building and to intangible lease assets and liabilities. The appraisal firm has no involvement in management’s allocation decisions other than providing this market information.
The determination of the fair values of the real estate assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to the current market rental rates, rental growth rates, capitalization and discount rates, interest rates and other variables. The use of alternative estimates may result in a different allocation of the Company’s purchase price, which could materially impact the Company’s results of operations.
Certain acquisition-related expenses related to asset acquisitions are capitalized and allocated to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, as described above. Acquisition-related manager expense reimbursements are expensed as incurred and are included in expense reimbursements to related parties in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Other acquisition-related expenses continue to be expensed as incurred and are included in transaction-related expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
On March 31, 2022, the Company fully redeemed its $ 60.7 million investment in CIM UII Onshore, L. P. (“CIM UII Onshore”). Prior to redemption, the Company had less than 5 % ownership of CIM UII Onshore and accounted for its
13

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
investment under the equity method. The equity method of accounting requires the investment to be initially recorded at cost, including transaction costs incurred to finalize the investment, and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of equity in CIM UII Onshore’s earnings and distributions. Prior to redemption, the Company recorded its share of CIM UII Onshore’s profits or losses on a quarterly basis as an adjustment to the carrying value of the investment on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and such share is recognized as a profit or loss on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded its share of CIM UII Onshore’s gain, totaling $ 5.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company received distributions of $ 531,000 related to its investment in CIM UII Onshore, all of which was recognized as a return on investment. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s investment in CIM UII Onshore had a carrying value of $ 56.0 million.
CMFT MT JV Holdings, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is engaged in an unconsolidated joint venture arrangement through CIM NP JV Holdings, LLC (“NP JV Holdings”) (the “Unconsolidated Joint Venture”), of which it owns 50 % of the outstanding equity. Through the Unconsolidated Joint Venture, which holds approximately 91 % of the membership interest in NewPoint JV, LLC (the “NewPoint JV”) pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement entered into between the Unconsolidated Joint Venture and NewPoint Bridge Lending, LLC, the Company indirectly owns approximately 45 % of the outstanding equity of the NewPoint JV on a fully diluted basis. The Company accounts for its investment under the equity method. The equity method of accounting requires the investment to be initially recorded at cost, including transaction costs incurred to finalize the investment, and is subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of equity in NP JV Holdings’ earnings and distributions, including unrealized gains and losses as a result of changes in fair value of the NewPoint JV. The Company records its share of NP JV Holdings’ profits or losses on a quarterly basis as an adjustment to the carrying value of the investment on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and such share is recognized as a profit or loss on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded a gain totaling $ 3.7 million, which represented its share of NP JV Holdings’ gain, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company contributed an additional $ 79.5 million in NP JV Holdings. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s aggregate investment in NP JV Holdings of $ 132.4 million is included in investment in unconsolidated entities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company received $ 4.3 million in distributions related to its investment in NP JV Holdings during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture
From December 2021 to July 2022, the Company determined it had a controlling interest in the Consolidated Joint Venture and, therefore, met the requirements for consolidation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded net income of $ 66,000 and paid distributions of $ 1.1 million to the noncontrolling interest.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company disposed of the underlying properties previously owned through the Consolidated Joint Venture, as further discussed in Note 4 — Real Estate Assets. Therefore, the Company determined it no longer had a controlling financial interest in the Consolidated Joint Venture as of September 30, 2022.
Restricted Cash
The Company had $ 62.9 million and $ 36.8 million in restricted cash as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Included in restricted cash was $ 6.7 million and $ 7.8 million held by lenders in lockbox accounts, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As part of certain debt agreements, rents from certain encumbered properties are deposited directly into a lockbox account, from which the monthly debt service payment is disbursed to the lender and the excess is disbursed to the Company. Also included in restricted cash was $ 56.2 million and $ 29.0 million of construction reserves, amounts held by lenders in escrow accounts for real estate taxes and other lender reserves for certain properties, in accordance with the associated lender’s loan agreement as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Real Estate-Related Securities
Real estate-related securities consists primarily of the Company’s investments in commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and equity securities. The Company determines the appropriate classification for real estate-related securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company classified its investments in CMBS as available-for-sale as the Company is not actively trading the securities; however, the Company may sell them prior to their maturity. These investments are carried at their estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive (loss) income. During the nine
14
Table of Contents
CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
months ended September 30, 2022, the Company invested $ 433.2 million in CMBS. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had investments in 16 CMBS with an estimated aggregate fair value of $ 432.2 million.
In addition, the Company had an investment in an equity security with an estimated aggregate fair value of $ 37.9 million as of September 30, 2022, which is comprised of RTL Common Stock (as defined in Note 4 — Real Estate Assets) received as consideration in connection with the Purchase and Sale Agreement. These investments are carried at their estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded $ 2.7 million of dividend income on RTL Common Stock, which is included in interest expense and other, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company also recorded $ 15.5 million of unrealized loss on RTL Common Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which is included in unrealized loss on equity security in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company monitors its available-for-sale securities for changes in fair value. A loss is recognized when the Company determines that a decline in the estimated fair value of a security below its amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. The Company records impairments related to credit losses through current expected credit losses. However, the allowance is limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. The Company considers many factors in determining whether a credit loss exists, including, but not limited to, the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, recent events specific to the security, industry or geographic area, the payment structure of the security, the failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, and external credit ratings and recent changes in such ratings. The analysis of determining whether a credit loss exists requires significant judgments and assumptions. The use of alternative judgments and assumptions could result in a different conclusion. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record current expected credit losses related to CMBS.
The amortized cost of real estate-related securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity computed under the effective interest method and is recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations in interest income. Upon the sale of a security, the realized net gain or loss is computed on the specific identification method.
Interest earned is either received in cash or capitalized to real estate-related securities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Interest is capitalized when certain conditions are met as specified in each security agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company capitalized $ 280,000 and $ 826,000 , respectively, of interest income to real estate-related securities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company capitalized $ 268,000 and $ 703,000 , respectively, of interest income to real estate-related securities.
Loans Held-for-Investment
The Company’s loans held-for-investment include loans related to real estate assets, as well as credit investments, including commercial mortgage loans and other loans and securities related to commercial real estate assets, as well as corporate loan opportunities that are consistent with the Company’s investment strategy and objectives. The Company intends to hold the loans held-for-investment for the foreseeable future or until maturity. Loans held-for-investment are carried on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost, net of any current expected credit losses. Discounts or premiums, origination fees and exit fees are amortized as a component of interest 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. Upon the sale of a loan, the realized net gain or loss is computed on the specific identification method.
Interest earned is either received in cash or capitalized to loans held-for-investment and related receivables, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Interest is capitalized when certain conditions are met as specified in each loan agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company capitalized $ 62,000 of interest income to loans held-for-investment.
Accrual of interest income is suspended on nonaccrual loans. Loans that are past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest, or where reasonable doubt exists as to timely collection, are generally considered nonperforming and placed on nonaccrual status. Interest collected is recognized on a cash basis by crediting income when received. Loans may be restored to accrual status when all principal and interest are current and full repayment of the remaining contractual principal and interest are reasonably assured. As of September 30, 2022, the Company did not have nonaccrual loans.

Current Expected Credit Losses
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), on January 1, 2020. Current expected credit losses (“CECL”) required under ASU 2016-13 reflects the Company’s current estimate of potential credit losses related to the Company’s loans held-for-investment included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes to current expected credit losses are recognized through net income on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. While ASU 2016-13 does not require any particular method for determining current expected credit losses, it does specify current expected credit losses should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current portfolio and market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts for the duration of each respective loan. In addition, other than a few narrow exceptions, ASU 2016-13 requires that all financial instruments subject to the credit loss model have some amount of loss reserve to reflect the GAAP principal underlying the credit loss model that all loans, debt securities, and similar assets have some inherent risk of loss, regardless of credit quality, subordinate capital, or other mitigating factors.
The Company estimates the current expected credit loss for its first mortgage loans primarily using the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity method, which has been identified as an acceptable method for estimating CECL reserves in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Q&A Topic 326, No. 1. This method requires the Company to reference historic loan loss data across a comparable data set and apply such loss rate to each loan investment over its expected remaining term, taking into consideration expected economic conditions over the relevant timeframe. The Company considers loan investments that are both (i) expected to be substantially repaid through the operation or sale of the underlying collateral, and (ii) for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, to be “collateral-dependent” loans. For such loans that the Company determines that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, the Company measures the expected losses based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. For collateral-dependent loans that the Company determines foreclosure is not probable, the Company applies a practical expedient to estimate expected losses using the difference between the collateral’s fair value (less costs to sell the asset if repayment is expected through the sale of the collateral) and the amortized cost basis of the loan. For the Company’s liquid senior loans and corporate senior loans, the Company uses a probability of default and loss given default method using a comparable data set. The Company may use other acceptable alternative approaches in the future depending on, among other factors, the type of loan, underlying collateral, and availability of relevant historical market loan loss data.
Quarterly, the Company evaluates the risk of all loans and assigns a risk rating based on a variety of factors, grouped as follows: (i) loan and credit structure, including the as-is loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio and structural features; (ii) quality and stability of real estate value and operating cash flow, including debt yield, dynamics of the geography, property type and local market, physical condition, stability of cash flow, leasing velocity and quality and diversity of tenancy; (iii) performance against underwritten business plan; and (iv) quality, experience and financial condition of sponsor, borrower and guarantor(s).
Based on a 5-point scale, the Company’s loans are rated “1” through “5,” from least risk to greatest risk, respectively, which ratings are defined as follows:
1- Outperform — Most satisfactory asset quality and liquidity, good leverage capacity. A “1” rating maintains predictable and strong cash flows from operations. The trends and outlook for the credit's operations, balance sheet, and industry are neutral to favorable. Collateral, if appropriate, exceeds performance metrics;
2- Meets or Exceeds Expectations — Acceptable asset quality, moderate excess liquidity, modest leverage capacity. A “2” rating could have some financial/non-financial weaknesses which are offset by strengths; however, the credit demonstrates an ample current cash flow from operations. The trends and outlook for the credit's operations, balance sheet, and industry are generally positive or neutral. Collateral performance, if appropriate, meets or exceeds substantially all performance metrics included in original or current underwriting / business plan;
3- Satisfactory — Acceptable asset quality, somewhat strained liquidity, minimal leverage capacity. A “3” rating is at times characterized by acceptable cash flows from operations. The trends and conditions of the credit's operations and balance sheet are neutral. Collateral performance, if appropriate, meets or is on track to meet underwriting; business plan can reasonably be achieved;
4- Underperformance — The debt investment possesses credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses which deserve management’s close and continued attention. The portfolio company’s operations and/or balance sheet have demonstrated an adverse trend or deterioration which, while serious, has not reached the point where the liquidation of debt is jeopardized. These weaknesses are generally considered correctable by the borrower in the
16

normal course of business but may weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Company’s credit position if not checked or corrected. Collateral performance, if appropriate, falls short of original underwriting, material differences exist from business plan, or both; technical milestones have been missed; defaults may exist, or may soon occur absent material improvement; and
5- Default/Possibility of Loss — The debt investment is protected inadequately by the current enterprise value or paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral, if any. The underlying company’s operations have well-defined weaknesses based upon objective evidence, such as recurring or significant decreases in revenues and cash flows. Major variance from business plan; loan covenants or technical milestones have been breached; timely exit from loan via sale or refinancing is questionable; risk of principal loss. Collateral performance, if appropriate, is significantly worse than underwriting.
The Company generally assigns a risk rating of “3” to all newly originated or acquired loans held-for-investment during a most recent quarter, except in the case of specific circumstances warranting an exception.
Leases
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. The Company has elected to not separate non-lease components from lease components for all classes of underlying assets (primarily real estate assets) and will account for the combined components as rental and other property income. Non-lease components included in rental and other property income include certain tenant reimbursements for maintenance services (including common-area maintenance services or “CAM”), real estate taxes, insurance and utilities paid for by the lessor but consumed by the lessee. As a lessor, the Company has further determined that this policy will be effective only on a lease that has been classified as an operating lease and the revenue recognition pattern and timing is the same for both types of components. The Company is not a party to any material leases where it is the lessee.
Significant judgments and assumptions are inherent in not only determining if a contract contains a lease, but also the lease classification, terms, payments, and, if needed, discount rates. Judgments include the nature of any options, including if they will be exercised, evaluation of implicit discount rates and the assessment and consideration of “fixed” payments for straight-line rent revenue calculations.
Lease costs represent the initial direct costs incurred in the origination, negotiation and processing of a lease agreement. Such costs include outside broker commissions and other independent third-party costs and are amortized over the life of the lease on a straight-line basis. Costs related to salaries and benefits, supervision, administration, unsuccessful origination efforts and other activities not directly related to completed lease agreements are expensed as incurred. Upon successful lease execution, leasing commissions are capitalized.
Development Activities
Project costs and expenses, including interest incurred, associated with the development, construction and lease-up of a real estate project are capitalized as construction in progress. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company capitalized $ 10.9 million and $ 5.9 million, respectively, of expenses associated with the development of condominiums acquired via foreclosure, which is included in condominium developments in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Included in the amounts capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $ 1.1 million and $ 1.4 million, respectively, of capitalized interest expense.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from leasing activities
Rental and other property income is primarily derived from fixed contractual payments from operating leases, and therefore, is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which typically begins the date the tenant takes control of the space. When the Company acquires a property, the terms of existing leases are considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purpose of this calculation. Variable rental and other property income consists primarily of tenant reimbursements for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses which are included in rental and other property income in the period when such costs are incurred, with offsetting expenses in real estate taxes and property operating expenses, respectively, within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company defers the recognition of variable rental and other property income, such as percentage rents, until the specific target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved.

September 30, 2022 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
The Company continually reviews whether collection of lease-related receivables, including any straight-line rent, and current and future operating expense reimbursements from tenants are 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 for amounts previously recorded 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 and lease-related receivables are adjusted and taken against rental and other property income only when collectability becomes not probable.
Revenue from lending activities
Interest income from the Company’s loans held-for-investment and real estate-related securities is comprised of interest earned on loans and the accretion and amortization of net loan origination fees and discounts. Interest income on loans is accrued as earned, with the accrual of interest suspended when the related loan becomes a nonaccrual loan. Interest income on the Company’s liquid senior loans is accrued as earned beginning on the settlement date.
Reportable Segments
The Company’s segment information reflects how the chief operating decision makers review information for operational decision-making purposes. The Company has two reportable segments:
Credit — engages primarily in acquiring and originating loans, either directly or through co-investments in joint ventures, related to real estate assets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by various standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. Except as otherwise stated below, the Company is currently evaluating the effect that certain new accounting requirements may have on the Company’s accounting and related reporting and disclosures in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2021-01”). The amendments in ASU 2021-01 clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of the discontinuation of the use of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as a benchmark interest rate due to reference rate reform. ASU 2021-01 is effective immediately for all entities with the option to apply retrospectively as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, and can be applied prospectively to any new contract modifications made on or after January 7, 2021. The Company currently uses LIBOR and SOFR as its benchmark interest rate for its derivative instruments. The Company has evaluated the impact of this ASU’s adoption, and has determined that this ASU will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions . The amendments in this update clarify the guidance in Topic 820 when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual sale restrictions and introduce new disclosure requirements related to such equity securities. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP emphasizes that fair value is intended to be a market-based measurement, as opposed to a transaction-specific measurement.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate the fair value. Assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy, as follows:
Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is defined as a market in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active (markets with few transactions), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs, which are only used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, reflect the Company’s assumptions about the pricing of an asset or liability.
The following describes the methods the Company uses to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities:
Real estate-related securities — The Company generally determines the fair value of its real estate-related securities by utilizing broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from pricing models to determine the reported price. Pricing models for real estate-related securities are generally discounted cash flow models that usually consider the attributes applicable to a particular class of security (e.g., credit rating, seniority), current market data, and estimated cash flows for each class and incorporate deal collateral performance such as prepayment speeds and default rates, as available. Depending upon the significance of the fair value inputs used in determining these fair values, these securities are valued using Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 inputs. As of September 30, 2022, the Company concluded that $ 401.1 million of its CMBS fell under Level 2 and $ 31.1 million of its CMBS fell under Level 3.
The Company’s equity security investment is valued using Level 1 inputs. The estimated fair value of the Company’s equity security is based on quoted market prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market.
Credit facilities and notes payable — The fair value is estimated by discounting the expected cash flows based on estimated borrowing rates available to the Company as of the measurement date. Current and prior period liabilities’ carrying and fair values exclude net deferred financing costs. These financial instruments are valued using Level 2 inputs. As of September 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was $ 4.27 billion, compared to a carrying value of $ 4.38 billion. The estimated fair value of the Company’s debt as of December 31, 2021 was $ 4.11 billion, compared to a carrying value of $ 4.17 billion.
Derivative instruments — The Company’s derivative instruments are comprised of interest rate caps. All derivative instruments are carried at fair value and are valued using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of these instruments is determined using interest rate market pricing models. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company’s potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the respective counterparties.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with those derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company’s derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
Loans held-for-investment — The Company’s loans held-for-investment are recorded at cost upon origination and adjusted by net loan origination fees and discounts. The Company estimates the fair value of its loans held-for-investment by performing a present value analysis for the anticipated future cash flows using an appropriate market discount rate taking into consideration the credit risk. The Company has determined that its commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans held-for-investment and corporate senior loans are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s liquid senior loans are classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the number of market quotations or indicative prices from pricing services that are available, and whether the depth of the market is sufficient to transact at those prices in amounts approximating the Company’s investment position at the measurement date. As of September 30, 2022, $ 471.5 million and $ 189.8 million of the Company’s liquid senior loans were classified in Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, $ 560.4 million and $ 94.1 million of the Company’s liquid senior loans were classified in Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Company’s loans held-for-investment and related receivables, net was $ 4.0 billion, which approximated carrying value. As of December 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of the Company’s loans held-for-investment was $ 2.63 billion, compared to their carrying value of $ 2.61 billion.
Other financial instruments — The Company considers the carrying values of its cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, other liabilities, due to affiliates and distributions payable to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between their origination and their expected realization as well as their highly-liquid nature. Due to the short-term maturities of these instruments, Level 1 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments.
Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize, or be liable for, upon disposition of the financial assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. The Company does not expect that changes in classifications between levels will be frequent.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis (Including Impairment Charges)
Certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment. The Company’s process for identifying and recording impairment related to real estate assets and intangible assets is discussed in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
As discussed in Note 4 — Real Estate Assets, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, real estate assets related to 19 properties were deemed to be impaired and their carrying values were reduced to an estimated fair value of $ 114.1 million, resulting in impairment charges of $ 11.9 million. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, certain condominium units were deemed to be impaired and their carrying values were reduced to their estimated fair value, resulting in impairment charges of $ 7.9 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, real estate assets related to 11 properties were deemed to be impaired and their carrying values were reduced to an estimated fair value of $ 43.1 million, resulting in impairment charges of $ 5.3 million. The Company estimates fair values using Level 3 inputs and a combined income and market approach, specifically using discounted cash flow analysis and recent comparable sales transactions. The evaluation of real estate assets for potential impairment requires the Company’s management to exercise significant judgment and to make certain key assumptions, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) terminal capitalization rates; (2) discount rates; (3) the number of years the property will be held; (4) property operating expenses; and (5) re-leasing assumptions, including the number of months to re-lease, market rental income and required tenant improvements. There are inherent uncertainties in making these estimates such as market conditions and the future performance and sustainability of the Company’s tenants. The Company determined that the selling prices used to determine the fair values were Level 2 inputs.
The following summarizes the ranges of discount rates and terminal capitalization rates used for the Company’s impairment test for the real estate assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:
Nine Months Ended September 30,

During the same period, the Company sold one marketable security with an aggregate carrying value of $ 110,000 resulting in net proceeds of $ 132,000 and a gain of $ 22,000 . The Company also received $ 53.4 million in an equity security during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as consideration in connection with the Purchase and Sale Agreement. Unrealized gains and losses on CMBS are recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income, with a portion of the amount subsequently reclassified into interest expense and other, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations as securities are sold and gains and losses are recognized. Unrealized gains and losses on the equity security are reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded $ 39.9 million of unrealized loss on its real estate-related securities, $ 24.5 million of which is included in other comprehensive (loss) income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The remaining $ 15.4 million of unrealized loss on the Company’s equity security is included in unrealized loss on equity security in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The scheduled maturities of the Company’s CMBS as of September 30, 2022 are as follows (in thousands):
CMBS
Amortized Cost Estimated Fair Value
Due within one year $ — $ —
Due after one year through five years 413,059 401,050
Due after five years through ten years — —
Due after ten years 40,835 31,145
Total $ 453,894 $ 432,195
Actual maturities of real estate-related securities can differ from contractual maturities because borrowers on certain corporate credit securities may have the right to prepay their respective debt obligations at any time. In addition, factors such as prepayments and interest rates may affect the yields on such securities.
In estimating credit losses related to real estate-related securities, management considers a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, recent events specific to the security, industry or geographic area, the payment structure of the security, the failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, and external credit ratings and recent changes in such ratings. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had no credit losses related to real estate-related securities.

Troubled Debt Restructuring
An individual financial instrument is classified as a troubled debt restructuring when there is a reasonable expectation that the financial instrument’s contractual terms will be modified in a manner that grants concessions to the borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties. Concessions could include term extensions, payment deferrals, interest rate reductions, principal forgiveness, forbearance, or other actions designed to maximize the Company’s collection on the financial instrument. Current expected credit losses for financial instruments that are troubled debt restructurings are determined individually.
The Company also classifies a financial instrument as a troubled debt restructuring when receivables from third parties, real estate, or other assets are transferred from the debtor to the creditor in order to fully or partially satisfy a debt, such as in the event of a foreclosure or repossession. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the borrower on the Company’s eight mezzanine loans became delinquent on certain required reserve payments. Throughout 2020, the borrower remained delinquent on the required reserve payments and became delinquent on principal and interest. As a result, the Company classified the loans as a troubled debt restructuring and commenced foreclosure proceedings during the year ended December 31, 2020. Upon completing foreclosure in January 2021, the Company took control of the assets which previously secured the loans, including 75 condominium units and 21 rental units across four buildings. As a result of the foreclosure, the Company recorded a $ 58.0 million decrease to its provision for credit losses related to its mezzanine loans during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Risk Ratings
As further described in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company evaluates its loans held-for-investment portfolio on a quarterly basis. Each quarter, the Company assesses the risk factors of each loan, and assigns a risk rating based on several factors. Factors considered in the assessment include, but are not limited to, loan and credit structure, current LTV ratio, debt yield, collateral performance, and the quality and condition of the sponsor, borrower, and guarantor(s). Loans are rated “1” (less risk) through “5” (greater risk), which ratings are defined in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

____________________________________
(1) The interest rate consists of the underlying index capped to a fixed rate as of September 30, 2022.
Additional disclosures related to the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments are included in Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements. The notional amount under the derivative instruments is an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in each instrument, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.
Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative instrument. The Company has interest rate caps that are used to manage exposure to interest rate movements, but do not meet the requirements to be designated as hedging instruments. The change in fair value of the derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges is recorded directly to earnings in interest expense and other, net on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges in order to hedge the variability of the anticipated cash flows on its variable rate debt. The change in fair value of the derivative instruments designated as hedges is recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income, with a portion of the amount subsequently reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the amount of gain reclassified from other comprehensive (loss) income as a decrease to interest expense was $ 2.6 million for both periods. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the amount of gain reclassified from other comprehensive (loss) income as a decrease to interest expense was $ 170,000 . For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the amount of loss reclassified from other comprehensive (loss) income as an increase to interest expense was $ 3.0 million. The total unrealized loss on interest rate swaps of $ 20,000 as of September 30, 2022, and the total unrealized gain on interest rate swaps of $ 152,000 as of December 31, 2021, respectively, is included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that $ 20,000 will be reclassified from other comprehensive (loss) income as an increase to interest expense. The Company includes cash flows from interest rate swap agreements in net cash flows provided by operating activities on its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, as the Company’s accounting policy is to present cash flows from hedging instruments in the same category in its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as the category for cash flows from the hedged items.
The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain provisions whereby if the Company defaults on certain of its unsecured indebtedness, the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations, resulting in an acceleration of payment. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their aggregate termination value, inclusive of interest payments and accrued interest. In addition, the Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by its derivative counterparties. The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into agreements with creditworthy counterparties. The Company records credit risk valuation adjustments on its derivative instruments based on the credit quality of the Company and the respective counterparty. There were no events of default related to the derivative instruments as of September 30, 2022.
NOTE 10 — REPURCHASE FACILITIES, CREDIT FACILITIES AND NOTES PAYABLE
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $ 4.4 billion of debt outstanding, including net deferred financing costs, with a weighted average years to maturity of 3.3 years and a weighted average interest rate of 4.5 %. The weighted average years to maturity is computed using the scheduled repayment date as specified in each loan agreement where applicable. The weighted average interest rate is computed using the interest rate in effect until the scheduled repayment date.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company refinanced the Assumed Variable Rate Debt and paid down the outstanding balance. The amended borrowing agreement related to the refinanced Assumed Variable Rate Debt provides for borrowings up to $ 62.0 million.

Credit Facilities
CMFT SCF Borrower, LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “CMFT Borrowing Sub”), has a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders from time to time parties thereto, JPMorgan Chase, as administrative agent, letter of credit issuer and syndication agent, and PNC Bank, N.A., as syndication agent, which provides for borrowings in the initial amount of $ 300.0 million (the “CMFT Credit Facility”), which includes a $ 100.0 million term loan facility (the “CMFT Term Loan”) and the ability to borrow up to $ 200.0 million in revolving loans (the “CMFT Revolving Loans”) under a revolving credit facility (the “CMFT Revolving Facility”) with a $ 30.0 million letter of credit subfacility. The CMFT Term Loan and the CMFT Revolving Facility both mature on July 15, 2025.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at rates depending upon the type of loan specified by the CMFT Borrowing Sub, the interest period, and the Company’s adjusted leverage ratio. For alternate base rate (“ABR”) loans, the interest rate will be equal to the greater of: (a) JPMorgan Chase’s prime rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), (b) the NYFRB Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.50 %, and (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.0 % for the interest period plus the applicable rate. For term benchmark (“Term Benchmark”) loans and risk-free rate (“RFR”) loans, the interest rate is based on the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), respectively, for the applicable interest period plus the applicable rate. The applicable rate is based upon the adjusted leverage ratio, and for ABR Loans, ranges from 0.50 % at an adjusted leverage ratio below 2.50 :1.00 to 1.375 % at an adjusted leverage ratio greater than 3.50 :1.00. For Term Benchmark loans and RFR loans, the applicable rate is 1.00 % higher than for ABR loans at each adjusted leverage ratio range.

The Company had a credit agreement (the “CIM Income NAV Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase, as administrative agent, and the lender parties thereto, that provided for borrowings of up to $ 425.0 million (the “CIM Income NAV Credit Facility”). The CIM Income NAV Credit Facility was set to mature on September 6, 2022.

Borrowings under the Third Amended Credit and Security Agreement will bear interest equal to the one-month Term SOFR (as defined in the Third Amended Credit and Security Agreement) for the relevant interest period, plus an applicable rate. The applicable rate is dependent on the type of loan being financed, which includes broadly syndicated, private and middle market loans meeting certain criteria as set forth in the Third Amended Credit and Security Agreement and ranges from 1.90 % to 2.75 % per annum during the first two years of the reinvestment period and 2.00 % to 2.85 % during the last year of the reinvestment period and 2.10 % to 2.95 % per annum during the amortization period (and, in each case, an additional 2.00 % per annum following an event of default under the Third Amended Credit and Security Agreement). The reinvestment period began on December 31, 2019 (the “Closing Date”) and concludes on the earlier of (i) the date that is three years after June 23, 2022, the date the third amendment became effective, (ii) the final maturity date and (iii) the date on which the total assets under management of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries is less than $ 1.25 billion (the “Reinvestment Period”). The final maturity date is the earliest to occur of: (i) the date that the Credit Securities Revolver is paid down and (ii) the second anniversary after the Reinvestment Period concludes.

CMFT Securities has an investment advisory and management agreement dated December 6, 2019 (the “Investment Advisory and Management Agreement”) with the Investment Advisor. CMFT Securities was formed for the purpose of holding any securities investments and certain other investments made by the Company. The Investment Advisor, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CIM, is registered as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). Pursuant to the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement, the Investment Advisor manages the day-to-day business affairs of CMFT Securities and its investments in corporate credit and real estate-related securities (collectively, the “Managed Assets”), subject to the supervision of the Board. In connection with the services provided by the Investment Advisor, CMFT Securities pays the Investment Advisor an investment advisory fee (the “Investment Advisory Fee”), payable quarterly in arrears, equal to 1.50 % per annum ( 0.375 % per quarter) of CMFT Securities’ Equity (as defined in the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement). Because the Managed Assets are excluded from the calculation of management fees payable by the Company to CMFT Management pursuant to the Management Agreement, the total management and advisory fees payable by the Company to its external advisors are not increased as a result of the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement.
In addition, the Investment Advisor has a sub-advisory agreement dated December 6, 2019 (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with OFS Capital Management, LLC (the “Sub-Advisor”) to act as an investment sub-advisor to CMFT Securities. The Sub-Advisor is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act and is an affiliate of the Investment Advisor. The Sub-Advisor principally provides investment management services with respect to the corporate credit-related securities held by CMFT Securities and its subsidiaries. The Sub-Advisor may allocate a portion of these corporate credit-related securities to its other clients, including affiliates of CIM. On a quarterly basis, the Investment Advisor designates 50 % of the sum of the Investment Advisory Fee and incentive compensation attributable to the assets for which Sub-Advisor has provided investment management services payable to the Investment Advisor as sub-advisory fees.
Incentive compensation
CMFT Management is entitled to receive incentive compensation, payable with respect to each quarter, which is generally equal to the excess of (a) the product of (i) 20 % and (ii) the excess of (A) Core Earnings (as defined in the Management Agreement) of the Company for the previous 12-month period, over (B) the product of (1) the Company’s Consolidated Equity (as defined in the Management Agreement) in the previous 12-month period, and (2) 7 % per annum, over (b) the sum of any incentive compensation paid to CMFT Management with respect to the first three calendar quarters of such previous 12-month period (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters preceding the applicable period, if applicable). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, no incentive compensation fees were incurred.
In addition, the Investment Advisor is eligible to receive a portion of the incentive compensation payable to CMFT Management pursuant to the Management Agreement. In the event that the incentive compensation is earned and payable with respect to any quarter, CMFT Management calculates the portion of the incentive compensation that was attributable to the Managed Assets and payable to the Investment Advisor.
Expense reimbursements to related parties
The Company reimburses CMFT Management, the Investment Advisor or their affiliates for certain expenses paid or incurred in connection with the services provided to the Company. The Company will reimburse CMFT Management, the Investment Advisor, or their affiliates for salaries and benefits paid to personnel who provide services to the Company, excluding the Company’s executive officers and any portfolio management, acquisitions or investment professionals.

NOTE 15 — LEASES
The Company’s real estate assets are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms, expirations and extension options vary. The Company’s operating leases do not convey to the lessee the right to purchase the underlying asset upon expiration of the lease period. To determine whether a contract contains a lease, the Company reviews contracts to determine if the agreement conveys the right to control the use of an asset. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single, combined operating lease component. Non-lease components primarily consist of maintenance services, including CAM, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities paid for by the lessor but consumed by the lessee. Non-lease components are considered to be variable rental and other property income and are recognized in the period incurred.

(1) Consists primarily of fixed contractual payments from operating leases with tenants recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including amortization of acquired above- and below-market leases, and is net of uncollectible lease-related receivables.
(2) Consists primarily of tenant reimbursements for recoverable real estate taxes and property operating expenses, and percentage rent.
The Company has one property subject to a non-cancelable operating ground lease with a remaining term of 10.9 years, with a lease liability (in deferred rental income, derivative liabilities and other liabilities ) and a related right-of-use (“ROU”) asset (in prepaid expenses, derivative assets and other assets ) of $ 2.2 million in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The lease liability and ROU asset were initially measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments using a discount rate of 4.3 %. This reflects the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which was calculated based on the interest rate the Company would incur to borrow on a fully collateralized basis over a term similar to the lease.
The Company recognized $ 63,000 and $ 188,000 of ground lease expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, of which $ 61,000 and $ 182,000 was paid in cash during the period it was recognized. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s scheduled future minimum rental payments related to its operating ground lease is approximately $ 63,000 for the remainder of 2022, $ 250,000 annually for 2023 through 2027, and $ 1.4 million thereafter through the maturity date of the lease in August 2033.
