NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Cole Office & Industrial REIT (CCIT III), Inc. (the “Company”) is a non-exchange traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”) formed as a Maryland corporation on May 22, 2014, that elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2017. The Company generally acquires and operates commercial real estate assets, primarily consisting of single-tenant, income-producing necessity office and industrial properties, which are leased to creditworthy tenants under long-term leases. As of September 30, 2020, the Company owned two office and industrial properties, comprising 391,000 rentable square feet of commercial space located in two states. As of September 30, 2020, the rentable square feet at these properties was 100% leased.

Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through Cole Corporate Income Operating Partnership III, LP (“CCI III OP”), a Delaware limited partnership, of which the Company is the sole general partner and owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the partnership interests.

The Company is externally managed by Cole Corporate Income Management III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CCI III Management”), which is an affiliate of CIM Group, LLC (“CIM”). CIM is a community-focused real estate and infrastructure owner, operator, developer and lender with multi-disciplinary expertise, including in acquisitions, management, development, leasing, research and capital markets. CIM is headquartered in Los Angeles, California and has offices in Oakland, California; Bethesda, Maryland; Dallas, Texas; New York, New York; Chicago, Illinois; Phoenix, Arizona; Orlando, Florida; Tokyo, Japan; and Atlanta, Georgia.

CCO Group, LLC owns and controls CCI III Management, the Company’s advisor, and is the indirect owner of CCO Capital, LLC (“CCO Capital”), the Company’s dealer manager, and CREI Advisors, LLC (“CREI Advisors”), the Company’s property manager. CCO Group, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, “CCO Group”) serve as the Company’s sponsor and as a sponsor to CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. (“CMFT”), Cole Credit Property Trust V, Inc. (“CCPT V”), Cole Office & Industrial REIT (CCIT II), Inc. (“CCIT II”) and CIM Income NAV, Inc. (“CIM Income NAV”).

On September 22, 2016, the Company commenced its initial public offering on a “best efforts” basis, offering up to a maximum of $3.5 billion in shares of common stock (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the Offering, the Company offered up to $2.5 billion in shares of its common stock pursuant to the primary offering, consisting of two classes of shares: Class A common stock (“Class A Shares”) at a price of $10.00 per share (up to $1.25 billion in shares) and Class T common stock (“Class T Shares”) at a price of $9.57 per share (up to $1.25 billion in shares). Pursuant to the Offering, the Company also offered up to $1.0 billion in shares of its common stock pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) at a purchase price during the Offering equal to the per share primary offering prices net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees, or $9.10 per share for both Class A Shares and Class T Shares.

Effective December 31, 2018, the primary portion of the Offering was terminated, but the Company continued to issue Class A Shares and Class T Shares pursuant to the DRIP portion of the Offering. On March 28, 2019, the Company registered an aggregate of $4,300,000 of Class A Shares and Class T Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-230565) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which was declared effective on April 5, 2019 (the “DRIP Offering” and collectively with the Offering, the “Offerings”). As of April 30, 2019, the Company ceased issuing shares in the Offering and had sold a total of $31.2 million of Class A Shares and Class T Shares pursuant to the Offering, including $30.2 million ($23.3 million in Class A Shares and $6.9 million in Class T Shares) sold to the public pursuant to the primary portion of the Offering and $1.0 million ($655,000 in Class A Shares and $350,000 in Class T Shares) sold pursuant to the DRIP portion of the Offering. The unsold Class A Shares and Class T Shares in the Offering of $3.5 billion in the aggregate were subsequently deregistered. The Company began to issue Class A Shares and Class T Shares under the DRIP Offering on May 1, 2019 and continued to issue shares under the DRIP Offering until, on August 30, 2020, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) suspended the DRIP Offering in connection with the entry of the Company into the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

The Board establishes an updated estimated per share net asset value (“NAV”) of the Company’s common stock on at least an annual basis for purposes of assisting broker-dealers that participated in the Offering in meeting their customer account reporting obligations under Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2231. Distributions are reinvested in shares of the Company’s common stock under 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 ofSeptember 30, 2020, the estimated per share NAV was$7.76per share for both Class A Shares and Class T Shares, which was established onAugust 12, 2020using a valuation date ofJune 30, 2020. Commencing onAugust 14, 2020,

September 30, 2020 (Unaudited) – (Continued)

$7.76served as the per share NAV for both Class A Shares and Class T Shares under the DRIP Offering. The Board previously established a per share NAV as ofFebruary 13, 2019,December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020. The Company’s estimated pershare NAV is not audited or reviewed by its independent registered public accounting firm. Given the relative stability of the Company’s rent collections and the per share NAV for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, the Board determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to cease incurring the additional costs associated with quarterly valuations and return to updating the Company’s per share NAV on an annual basis in accordance with its valuation policies.

Pending Merger with CMFT

On August 30, 2020, the Company, CMFT and Thor III Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CMFT (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as subsequently amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated November 3, 2020, (the “Merger Agreement”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub surviving the Merger, such that following the Merger, the surviving entity will continue as a wholly owned subsidiary of CMFT. In accordance with the applicable provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”), the separate existence of the Company shall cease at the effective time of the Merger.

At the effective time of the Merger and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding Class A Share and Class T Share will be converted into the right to receive 1.098 shares of CMFT’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “CMFT Common Stock”), subject to the treatment of fractional shares in accordance with the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Consideration”). At the effective time of the Merger and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding Class A Share granted under the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled in exchange for an amount equal to the Merger Consideration.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants relating to the conduct of the Company’s and CMFT’s respective businesses during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the completion of the Merger, subject to certain exceptions.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company had a “go shop” period that ended on 11:59 p.m. New York City time on October 7, 2020 (the “Go Shop Period End Time”) during which the Company and its subsidiaries and representatives could initiate, solicit, provide information and enter into discussions concerning proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions. Following the Go Shop Period End Time, the Company and its subsidiaries and representatives may not solicit, provide information or enter into discussions concerning proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions, subject to certain limited exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement also provides that prior to the Stockholder Approval (as defined below), the Board may, under specified circumstances, make an Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in the Merger Agreement), including withdrawing its recommendation of the Merger, subject to complying with certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain circumstances, including by either the Company or CMFT if the Merger has not been consummated on or before 11:59 p.m. New York time on May 30, 2021 (the “Outside Date”), if a final and non-appealable order is entered permanently restraining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, if the Stockholder Approval has not been obtained at the Stockholders Meeting (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or upon a material uncured breach of the respective obligations, covenants or agreements by the other party that would cause the closing conditions in the Merger Agreement not to be satisfied.

In addition, the Company may terminate the Merger Agreement in order to enter into an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement” with respect to a “Superior Proposal” (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) at any time prior to receipt by the Company of the Stockholder Approval pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.

CMFT may terminate the Merger Agreement at any time prior to the receipt of the Stockholder Approval, in certain limited circumstances, including upon (i) an Adverse Recommendation Change, (ii) a tender offer or exchange offer that is commenced which the Board fails to recommend against or (iii) a breach by the Company, in any material respect, of its obligations under the go shop or no solicitation provisions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

If the Merger Agreement is terminated because the Merger was not consummated before the Outside Date or because the Stockholder Approval was not obtained, and (i) an Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) has been publicly announced or otherwise communicated to the Company’s stockholders prior to the Stockholders Meeting and (ii)

within 12 months after the date of such termination (A) the Company consummates or enters into an agreement (that is thereafter consummated) in respect of an Acquisition Proposal for 50% or more of the Company’s equity or assets or (B) the Board recommends or fails to recommend against an Acquisition Proposal structured as a tender or exchange offer for 50% or more of the Company’s equity and such Acquisition Proposal is actually consummated, then the Company must pay CMFT a termination fee of $710,000 and up to $130,000 as reimbursement for CMFT’s Expenses (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

If the Merger Agreement is terminated in connection with the Company’s acceptance of a Superior Proposal or making an Adverse Recommendation Change, then the Company must pay to CMFT a termination fee of $710,000 and up to $130,000 as reimbursement for CMFT’s Expenses, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The obligation of each party to consummate the Merger is subject to a number of customary conditions, including receipt of the approval of the Merger (and of an amendment to the Company’s charter that is required to consummate the Merger) by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote thereon (the “Stockholder Approval”), delivery of certain documents and legal opinions, the truth and correctness of the representations and warranties of the parties (subject to the materiality standards contained in the Merger Agreement) and the absence of a CCIT III Material Adverse Effect or CMFT Material Adverse Effect (as each term is defined in the Merger Agreement).

On August 30, 2020, CMFT, CCPT V and Thor V Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CMFT (“CCPT V Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as subsequently amended on October 22, 2020, October 24, 2020 and October 29, 2020, (the “CCPT V Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which CCPT V will be merged with and into CCPT V Merger Sub (the “CCPT V Merger”). Neither the Merger nor the CCPT V Merger is contingent upon the completion of the other.

On August 30, 2020, CMFT, CCIT II and Thor II Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CMFT (“CCIT II Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “CCIT II Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which CCIT II would have merged with and into CCIT II Merger Sub, with CCIT II Merger Sub surviving the merger as the surviving entity such that following the merger, the surviving entity would have continued as a wholly owned subsidiary of CMFT. The CCIT II Merger Agreement was subsequently terminated on October 29, 2020 and, as a result, all provisions of the Merger Agreement relating to CCIT II or the CCIT II Merger Agreement are no longer applicable.

Concurrently with the entry into the Merger Agreement, the Company and CCI III Management entered into a letter agreement (the “Termination Agreement”). Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the advisory agreement between the Company and CCI III Management (the “Advisory Agreement”) will be terminated at the effective time of the Merger. Also pursuant to the Termination Agreement, CCI III Management agreed to waive any subordinated performance fee or disposition fee (as described in Note 8 — Related-Party Transactions and Arrangements) it otherwise would be entitled to pursuant to the Advisory Agreement related to the Merger. In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Termination Agreement will be automatically terminated.

In connection with the contemplated Merger, on August 30, 2020, the Board approved the suspension of the DRIP, and, therefore, distributions paid after that date will be paid in cash to all stockholders unless and until the DRIP is reinstated. Additionally, on August 30, 2020, the Board approved the suspension of the Company’s share redemption program, and therefore, no shares will be redeemed from the Company’s stockholders after that date unless and until the share redemption program is reinstated.

On August 30, 2020, the Board also approved and adopted the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”) to provide that (i) the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (A) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (B) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by a director or officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or its stockholders or asserting a claim of breach of any standard of conduct set forth in the MGCL, (C) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director or officer or other employee of the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL, the charter of the Company or the bylaws of the Company, or (D) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director or officer or other employee of the Company that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine and (ii) the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, will be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

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, 2019, and related notes thereto, set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. 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.

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; or other circumstances. 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. No impairment indicators were identified and no impairment losses were recorded during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 or 2019. The Company’s impairment assessment as of September 30, 2020 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 impairment charges in the future. The Company cannot provide any assurance that material impairment charges with respect to the Company’s real estate assets will not occur during 2020 or in future periods, particularly in light of the negative economic impacts caused by the current novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. If the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic cause

11

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2020 (Unaudited) – (Continued)

economic and market conditions to continue to deteriorate or if the Company’s expected holding periods for assets change, subsequent tests for impairment could result in additional impairment charges in the future. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has not identified any impairments resulting from COVID-19 related impacts, including as a result of tenant requests for rent relief. The Company generally intends to hold its assets for the long-term; therefore, a temporary change in cash flows due to COVID-19 related impacts alone would not be an impairment indicator. However, the Company has yet to see the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and the extent to which it may impact the Company’s tenants in the future. Indications of a tenant’s inability to continue as a going concern, changes in the Company’s view or strategy relative to a tenant’s business or industry as a result of the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, or changes in the Company’s long-term hold strategies, could be indicative of an impairment indicator. Accordingly, the Company will continue to monitor circumstances and events in future periods to determine whether the carrying value of the Company’s real estate assets are recoverable.

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. There were no assets identified as held for sale as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

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.

Revenue Recognition

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, 2020 (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. Therewere no lease-related receivable write-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Earnings (Loss) and Distributions Per Share

The Company has two classes of common stock. Accordingly, the Company utilizes the two-class method to determine its earnings per share, which can result in different earnings per share for each of the classes. Under the two-class method, earnings per share of each class of common stock are computed by dividing the sum of the distributed earnings to common stockholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares for each class of common stock for the respective period. The distributed earnings to Class T Share common stockholders represents distributions declared less the distribution and stockholder servicing fees paid with respect to Class T Shares sold in the primary portion of the Offering. Diluted income per share, when applicable, considers the effect of any potentially dilutive share equivalents, of which the Company had none for each of the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 or 2019.Distributions per share are calculated based on the authorized monthly distribution rate. Prior to April 1, 2020, distributions were calculated based on the authorized daily distribution rate.

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 June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses(Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), 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 are intended to 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) (“ASC 842”). ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2018-19 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, and has concluded that there is no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). This ASU amends and removes several disclosure requirements including the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 also modifies some disclosure requirements and requires additional disclosures for changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and requires the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The provisions of ASU 2018-13 are effective January 1, 2020 using a prospective transition method for amendments effecting changes in unrealized gains and losses, significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and narrative description on uncertainty of measurements. The remaining provisions of ASU 2018-13 are to be

applied retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, and has concluded that there is no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities (“ASU 2018-17”). The guidance changes the guidance for determining whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest. Under the new ASU, indirect interests held through related parties under common control will now be considered on a proportional basis when determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. Such indirect interests were previously treated the same as direct interests. ASU 2018-17 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2018-17 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, and has concluded that there is no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2020, the FASB issued a question and answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the business disruptions and challenges severely affecting the global economy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, many lessors may be required to provide rent deferrals and other lease concessions to lessees. While the lease modification guidance in ASC 842 addresses routine changes to lease terms resulting from negotiations between the lessee and the lessor, this guidance did not contemplate concessions being so rapidly executed to address the sudden liquidity constraints of some lessees arising from COVID-19 related impacts. Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have 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 under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A allows the Company, if certain criteria have been met, to bypass the lease by lease analysis, and instead elect to either apply the lease modification accounting framework or not, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances. The future impact of the Lease Modification Q&A is dependent upon the extent of lease concessions granted to tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in future periods and the elections made by the Company at the time of entering into such concessions. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has collected 100% of rental payments originally contracted for from the Company’s two tenants during the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020.

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.

September 30, 2020 (Unaudited) – (Continued)

The following describes the methods the Company uses to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities:

Credit facility — 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. These financial instruments are valued using Level 2 inputs. As of September 30, 2020, the estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was $25.7 million, which approximated its carrying value. As of December 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was $24.2 million, which approximated its carrying value. The carrying and fair values exclude net deferred financing costs.

Other financial instruments — The Company considers the carrying values of its cash and cash equivalents, tenant receivables, accrued expenses and accounts payable, 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. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there have beenno transfers of financial assets or liabilities between fair value hierarchy levels.

NOTE 4 — REAL ESTATE ASSETS

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not acquire or dispose of any properties.

NOTE 5 — INTANGIBLE LEASE ASSETS

The Company’s intangible lease assets consisted of the following as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
In-place leases and other intangibles, net of accumulated amortization of $1,753,892 and $1,406,599, respectively (with a weighted average life remaining of 8.0 years and 8.8 years, respectively)	$	3,347,540	$	3,694,833

Amortization expense for the in-place leases is included in depreciation and amortization in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table summarizes the amortization expense related to the in-place lease assets for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019:

Credit Facility

The Company has a secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase”), as administrative agent, and the lenders under the credit agreement, as modified on September 17, 2020 (the “Modified Credit Agreement”). The Modified Credit Agreement reduced the borrowing commitment to $25.7 million, extended the maturity date to September 23, 2021 with no option to further extend, and amended the definition of asset value, in part, by removing certain tenant concentration limits, among other things. The Modified Credit Agreement also converted the Credit Facility balance from revolving loans into non-revolving term loans (the “Term Loans”) and instituted monthly principal payments through the maturity date. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $25.7 million of debt outstanding under its Credit Facility.

Depending upon the type of loan specified and overall leverage ratio, the Credit Facility bears interest at (i) the one-month, two-month, three-month or six-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) multiplied by the statutory reserve rate (the “Eurodollar Rate”) plus an interest rate spread of 2.75%; or (ii) a base rate of 1.75%. As of September 30, 2020, the Term Loans outstanding totaled $25.7 million at a weighted average interest rate of 3.0%. The Company had no available borrowings as of September 30, 2020.

The Modified Credit Agreement contains provisions with respect to covenants, events of default and remedies customary for facilities of this nature. In particular, the Modified Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth greater than or equal to75%of the equity issued from the date of theModified Credit Agreement, a leverage ratio no greater than60%, and a fixed charge coverage ratio equal to or greater than1.50. The Company believes it was in compliance with the financial covenants of theModified Credit Agreement as ofSeptember 30, 2020.

Maturities

Liquidity and Financial Condition — As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $25.7 million of debt outstanding under the Credit Facility maturing on September 23, 2021.

NOTE 8 — RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has incurred, and will continue to incur, commissions, fees and expenses payable to CCI III Management and certain of its affiliates in connection with the Offerings and the acquisition, management and disposition of its assets.

Selling commissions and dealer manager fees

In connection with the primary portion of the Offering, which was terminated on December 31, 2018, CCO Capital, the Company’s dealer manager, which is affiliated with CCI III Management, received selling commissions of up to 7.0% and 3.0% of gross offering proceeds from the primary portion of the Offering for Class A Shares and Class T Shares, respectively. CCO Capital reallowed 100% of selling commissions earned to participating broker-dealers. In addition, 2.0% of gross offering proceeds from the primary portion of the Offering for both Class A Shares and Class T Shares was paid to CCO Capital as a dealer manager fee. CCO Capital, in its sole discretion, reallowed all or a portion of its dealer manager fee to participating broker-dealers. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees are paid to CCO Capital or other participating broker-dealers with respect to shares sold pursuant to the DRIP.

Organization and offering expenses

All other organization and offering expenses associated with the sale of the Company’s common stock (excluding selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution and stockholder servicing fees) were paid by CCI III Management or its affiliates and were reimbursed by the Company up to 1.0% of aggregate gross offering proceeds, including proceeds from sales of shares under the DRIP. As of September 30, 2020, CCI III Management had paid organization and offering expenses in excess of the 1.0% of aggregate gross offering proceeds in connection with the Offering. These excess amounts were not included in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company because such amounts were not a liability of the Company as they exceeded 1.0% of gross proceeds from the Offering. Since the Offering has been terminated, these excess amounts will not be paid.

Distribution and stockholder servicing fees

The Company pays CCO Capital a distribution and stockholder servicing fee for Class T Shares that, prior to the Board’s determination of an estimated per share NAV, was calculated on a daily basis in an amount equal to 1/365th of 1.0% of the purchase price per share of the Class T Shares sold in the primary portion of the Offering. Commencing on February 19, 2019, the distribution and stockholder servicing fee for Class T Shares is calculated on a daily basis in an amount equal to 1/365th of 1.0% of the most recent estimated per share NAV. The distribution and stockholder servicing fee is paid monthly in arrears from cash flows from operations or, if the Company’s cash flows from operations are not sufficient to pay the distribution and stockholder servicing fee, from borrowings in anticipation of future cash flows. An estimated liability for future distribution and stockholder servicing fees payable to CCO Capital was recognized at the time each Class T Share was sold and included in due to affiliates in the condensed consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding decrease to capital in excess of par value. The Company will cease paying the distribution and stockholder servicing fee with respect to Class T Shares at the earliest of (i) the end of the month in which the total distribution and stockholder servicing fees paid by a stockholder within his or her individual account would be equal to 4.0% of the stockholder’s total gross investment amount at the time of the purchase of the primary Class T Shares held in such account, or a lower limit agreed upon between the Company’s dealer manager and the participating broker-dealer at the time such Class T Shares were sold; (ii) the date on which the aggregate underwriting compensation from all sources equals 10.0% of the gross proceeds from the aggregate sale of the Class A Shares and Class T Shares in the Offering, excluding proceeds from sales pursuant to the DRIP; (iii) the fourth anniversary of the last day of the month in which the Offering (excluding the offering of shares pursuant to the DRIP) terminates; (iv) the date such Class T Share is no longer outstanding; and (v) the date the Company effects a liquidity event. CCO Capital may, in its discretion, reallow to participating broker-dealers all or a portion of the distribution and stockholder servicing fee for services that such participating broker-dealers perform in connection with the distribution of Class T Shares. At the time the Company ceases paying the distribution and stockholder servicing fee with respect to an outstanding Class T Share pursuant to the provisions above, such Class T Share will convert into a number of Class A Shares (including any fractional shares) with an equivalent net asset value as such Class T Share. The Company cannot predict when this will occur.No distribution and stockholder servicing fees are paid to CCO Capital or other participating broker-dealers with respect to shares sold pursuant to the DRIP.

Advisory fees and expenses

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company pays CCI III Management a monthly advisory fee based upon the Company’s monthly average asset value, which is equal to the following amounts: (i) an annualized rate of 0.75% paid on the Company’s average asset value that is between $0 and $2.0 billion; (ii) an annualized rate of 0.70% paid on the Company’s average asset value that is between $2.0 billion and $4.0 billion; and (iii) an annualized rate of 0.65% paid on the Company’s

As of September 30, 2019, $864,000 in advisory fees exceeded such expense limit. Additionally, CCI III Management waived its right to receive a monthly advisory fee for the full year ending December 31, 2019, the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020, and for the full year ending December 31, 2020.

The Company will not reimburse CCI III Management or its affiliates for compensation paid to the Company’s executive officers or employees of CCI III Management in connection with the servicesfor which CCI III Management or its affiliates receive an acquisition fee, financing coordination fee or disposition fee. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,$61,000and$289,000, respectively, of operating expense reimbursements were deferred by the advisor, which were not recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company because such amounts were not contractually payable by the Company. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,$109,000and$457,000, respectively, of operating expense reimbursements were deferred by the advisor, which were not recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company because such amounts were not contractually payable by the Company. However, these amounts may become payable if the advisor recoups expense reimbursements as capacity becomes available under the greater of 2.0% of average invested assets or 25.0% of net income limitations through reimbursements in a subsequent period.

Financing coordination fees

In addition, if CCI III Management or its affiliates provides a substantial amount of services (as determined by a majority of the Company’s independent directors) in connection with the sale of one or more assets other than properties, the Company may separately compensate CCI III Management or its affiliates at such rates and in such amounts as the Board, including a majority of the independent directors, and CCI III Management agree upon, not to exceed an amount equal to 1.0% of the contract price of the assets sold.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company has granted awards of approximately 6,000 restricted Class A Shares to each of the independent members of the Board (approximately 19,000 restricted shares in aggregate) under the Plan.

All of the total compensation expense related to these restricted Class A Shares was recognized ratably over the period of service prior to October 1, 2020.

NOTE 11 — 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.

As of September 30, 2020, the leases had a weighted-average remaining term of 7.9 years. Certain leases include provisions to extend the lease agreements, options for early termination after paying a specified penalty, rights of first refusal to purchase the property at competitive market rates, and other negotiated terms and conditions. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

As of September 30, 2020, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s real estate assets under non-cancelable operating leases, assuming no exercise of renewal options for the succeeding five fiscal years and thereafter, was as follows:

	Future Minimum Rental Income
Remainder of 2020	$	925,809
2021	3,756,969

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We make statements in this section that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Certain risks may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the following discussion. For a complete discussion of such risk factors, see Item 1A — Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed to those terms in “Part I — Financial Information” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained therein, and the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Cole Office & Industrial REIT (CCIT III), Inc.

Certain statements regarding future estimates and expectations may not be applicable to the extent the Merger (as defined herein) is completed.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” (within the meaning of the federal securities laws, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that reflect our expectations and projections about our future results, performance, prospects and opportunities. We have attempted to identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seek,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “targets,” “intends,” “should,” “estimates,” “could,” “continue,” “assume,” “projects,” “plans” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to us and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, those discussed below. In addition, these risks and uncertainties include those associated with (i) the scope, severity and duration of the current pandemic of COVID‑19 and actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, (ii) the potential adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance of the Company and its tenants, the real estate market and the global economy and financial markets, among others, and (iii) general economic, market and other conditions. We intend for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as applicable by law. We do not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of changes in underlying assumptions or new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required to satisfy our obligations under federal securities law. The forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risk factors identified in Item 1A — Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The following are some, but not all, of the assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:

• We may be unable to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space as leases expire on favorable terms or at all.

• We are subject to risks associated with tenant, geographic and industry concentrations with respect to our properties.

• Our properties, intangible assets and other assets may be subject to impairment charges.

• We could be subject to unexpected costs or unexpected liabilities that may arise from dispositions.

• We are subject to competition in the acquisition and disposition of properties and in the leasing of our properties and we may suffer delays or be unable to acquire, dispose of, or lease properties on advantageous terms.

• We could be subject to risks associated with bankruptcies or insolvencies of tenants or from tenant defaults generally.

• We have substantial indebtedness, which may affect our ability to pay distributions, and expose us to interest rate fluctuation risk and the risk of default under our debt obligations.

• We are affected by the incurrence of additional secured or unsecured debt.

• We may not be able to maintain profitability.

• We may not generate cash flows sufficient to pay our distributions to stockholders or meet our debt service obligations.

• Our continued compliance with debt covenants depends on many factors and could be impacted by current or future economic conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

• We may be affected by risks resulting from losses in excess of insured limits.

23

• We may fail to remain qualified as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

• Our advisor has the right to terminate the Advisory Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice without cause or penalty.

Definitions

We use certain defined terms throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have the following meanings:

The phrase “annualized rental income” refers to the straight-line rental revenue under our leases on operating properties owned as of the respective reporting date, which includes the effect of rent escalations and any tenant concessions, such as free rent, and excludes any contingent rent, such as percentage rent. Management uses annualized rental income as a basis for tenant, industry and geographic concentrations and other metrics within the portfolio. Annualized rental income is not indicative of future performance.

Under a “net lease,” the tenant occupying the leased property (usually as a single tenant) does so in much the same manner as if the tenant were the owner of the property. The tenant generally agrees that it will either have no ability or only limited ability to terminate the lease or abate rent prior to the expiration of the term of the lease as a result of real estate driven events such as casualty, condemnation or failure by the landlord to fulfill its obligations under the lease. There are various forms of net leases, most typically classified as either triple-net or double-net. Triple-net leases typically require the tenant to pay all expenses associated with the property (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs, including roof, structure and parking lot). Double-net leases typically hold the landlord responsible for the capital expenditures for the roof and structure, while the tenant is responsible for all lease payments and remaining operating expenses associated with the property (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance).

Overview

We were formed on May 22, 2014, and we elected to be taxed, and currently qualify, as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2017. We commenced our principal operations on September 22, 2016 when we satisfied the conditions of our escrow agreement regarding the minimum offering requirement and issued approximately 275,000 shares of common stock in the Offering. We have no paid employees and are externally advised and managed by CCI III Management. CIM indirectly owns and/or controls CCI III Management; our dealer manager, CCO Capital; our property manager, CREI Advisors; and CCO Group.

Effective December 31, 2018, the primary portion of the Offering was terminated, but we continued to issue Class A Shares and Class T Shares pursuant to the DRIP portion of the Offering. On March 28, 2019, we registered an aggregate of $4,300,000 of Class A Shares and Class T Shares for the DRIP Offering pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC, which was declared effective on April 5, 2019. We ceased issuing shares in the Offering on April 30, 2019. The unsold Class A Shares and Class T Shares in the Offering of $3.5 billion in the aggregate were subsequently deregistered. We began to issue Class A Shares and Class T Shares under the DRIP Offering on May 1, 2019 and continued to issue shares under the DRIP Offering until, on August 30, 2020, the Board suspended the DRIP Offering in connection with the entry of the Company into the Merger Agreement.

Our operating results and cash flows are primarily influenced by rental and other property income from our commercial properties, interest expense on our indebtedness, and acquisition and operating expenses. As 100% of our rentable square feet was under lease as of September 30, 2020, with a weighted average remaining lease termof7.9 years, we believe our exposure to changes in commercial rental rates on our portfolio is substantially mitigated, except for vacancies caused by tenant bankruptcies or other factors, including due to circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our advisor regularly monitors the creditworthiness of our tenants by reviewing each tenant’s financial results, any available credit rating agency reports on the tenant or guarantor, the operating history of the property with such tenant, the tenant’s market share and track record within its industry segment, the general health and outlook of the tenant’s industry segment, and other information for changes and possible trends. If our advisor identifies significant changes or trends that may adversely affect the creditworthiness of a tenant, it will gather a more in-depth knowledge of the tenant’s financial condition and, if necessary, attempt to mitigate the tenant credit risk by evaluating the possible sale of the property, or identifying a possible replacement tenant should the current tenant fail to perform on the lease.

COVID-19

We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business. The global spread of COVID-19 has created significant uncertainty and economic disruption, both in the near-term and potentially longer-term and has negatively impacted almost every industry directly or indirectly, including industries in which we and our tenants operate.

The extent to which this pandemic could affect our financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations is difficult to predict and depends on evolving factors, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to

24

contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. The magnitude of the outbreak will depend on factors beyond our control including actions taken by local, state and federal agencies, non-governmental organizations, the medical community, our tenants, and others. Due to these uncertainties, we are unable to predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our financial condition, results of operation and cash flows in future periods or the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our tenants and other business partners; however, any material effect on these parties could adversely impact us.

As of September 30,2020, we collected 100% ofrental payments originally contracted for thethree and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020.

We are actively managing our response to the COVID-19 pandemic in collaboration with our tenants and business partners and are assessing potential impacts to our financial position and operating results, as well as potential adverse developments in our business. In order to manage the financial health of the Company, our Board is making its determinations with respect to the declaration of distributions on a monthly, instead of quarterly basis, and has approved and adopted an Amended and Restated Distribution Reinvestment Plan (“Amended DRIP”) and an Amended and Restated Share Redemption Program (“Amended Share Redemption Program”) that, among other changes, provides that the Amended DRIP and the Amended Share Redemption Program may be suspended at any time by majority vote of the Board without prior notice if the Board believes such action is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. In connection with the contemplated Merger, on August 30, 2020, the Board approved the suspension of the Amended DRIP and the Amended Share Redemption Program. For further information regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company, see Part II, Item 1A titled “Risk Factors.”

Pending Merger with CMFT

On August 30, 2020, we, CMFT and Merger Sub entered into the Merger Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, we will merge with and into Merger Sub with Merger Sub surviving the Merger, such that following the Merger, the surviving entity will continue as a wholly owned subsidiary of CMFT. In accordance with the applicable provisions of the MGCL, our separate existence shall cease at the effective time of the Merger.

At the effective time of the Merger and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of our common stock, $0.01 par value per share, will be converted into the right to receive 1.098 shares of CMFT’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, subject to the treatment of fractional shares in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

On August 30, 2020, CMFT, CCPT V and CCPT V Merger Sub entered into the CCPT V Merger Agreement, pursuant to which CCPT V will be merged with and into CCPT V Merger Sub. Neither the Merger nor the CCPT V Merger is contingent upon the completion of the other.

The combined company after the Merger and the CCPT V Merger will retain the name CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. Each of the Merger and the CCPT V Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” under, and within the meaning of, Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

For additional information on the Merger, see Note 1 — Organization and Business to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 31, 2020 and November 4, 2020.

Portfolio Information

As of September 30, 2020, we owned two properties comprising approximately 391,000 rentable square feet of income-producing necessity corporate office and industrial space located intwostates, which were100%leased and had a weighted average remaining lease term of7.9 years. As we have only acquired two properties, a discussion of same store sales is not considered meaningful and as such is not included in the results of operations.

Results of Operations

We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, other than those listed in the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effects of the recent outbreak of COVID-19, and national economic conditions affecting real estate in general, that may reasonably be expected to have a material impact on our results from the acquisition, management and operation of properties. Currently, we are unable to predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in future periods due to numerous uncertainties.

25

Our results of operations are influenced by the timing of our acquisitions and the operating performance of our real estate assets. The following table provides summary information about our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						2020 vs 2019 Increase (Decrease)			Nine Months Ended September 30,						2020 vs 2019 Increase (Decrease)

Revenues

Our revenue consists primarily of rental and other property income from net leased commercial properties. We also incur certain property operating expenses that are subject to reimbursement by our tenants, which results in additional rental and other property income.

The decreases in revenue of$4,000and$31,000during thethree and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020, as compared to the same periods in 2019, were primarily dueto decreases in certain operating expense reimbursements from our tenants.

General and Administrative Expenses

The primary general and administrative expense items areBoard costs and legal fees.

The decreases in general and administrative expenses of$34,000and$101,000during the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020, as compared to the same periods in 2019, were primarily due to decreases in Board costs, escrow and trustee fees, and insurance expenses.

Merger-Related Expenses

In connection with the Merger, we incurred consulting fees of $417,000 during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. No such fees were incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Property Operating Expenses

Property operating expenses such as property repairs, maintenance and property-related insurance include both reimbursable and non-reimbursable property expenses. We are reimbursed by tenants for certain property operating expenses in accordance with the respective lease agreements.

Property operating expenses generally remained consistent for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

The decrease in property operating expenses of $6,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019, was primarily due to a decrease in property insurance expenses, which are subject to reimbursement by our tenants.

Real Estate Tax Expenses

Real estate tax expenses generally remained consistent for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

The decrease in real estate tax expenses of $26,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019, was primarily due to an increased tax assessment on one property during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

26

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses remained consistent for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019.

Interest Expense and Other, Net

The decreases in interest expense and other, net of$225,000and$643,000during thethree and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020, as compared to the same periods in2019, were primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average interest rate of our outstanding debt to3.0%as of September 30, 2020, from4.3%as ofSeptember 30, 2019.

Distributions

Prior to April 1, 2020, on a quarterly basis, our Board authorized a daily distribution for the succeeding quarter. Our Board authorized the following daily distribution amounts per share for the periods indicated below:

Period Commencing	Period Ending	Daily Distribution Amount (1)
September 23, 2016	December 31, 2016	$0.001639344
January 1, 2017	March 31, 2019	$0.001643836
April 1, 2019	December 31, 2019	$0.001369863
January 1, 2020	March 31, 2020	$0.001366120

______________________

(1) Less the per share distribution and stockholder servicing fees that are payable with respect to Class T Shares (as calculated on a daily basis).

On April 20, 2020, our Board decided to make a determination as to the amount and timing of distributions on a monthly, instead of quarterly, basis until such time that we have greater visibility into the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our tenants’ ability to continue to pay rent on their leases on a timely basis or at all, the degree to which federal, state or local governmental authorities grant rent relief or other relief or amnesty programs applicable to our tenants, our ability to access the capital markets, and on the United States and worldwide financial markets and economy.

After April 1, 2020, on a monthly basis, our Board has authorized a monthly distribution amount. On August 30, 2020, in connection with the Merger, our Board suspended the DRIP Offering, and, therefore, further distributions will be paid in cash to all stockholders unless and until we reinstate the DRIP Offering. Our Board authorized the following monthly distribution amounts per share for the periods indicated below:

Record Date	Distribution Amount(1)
April 30, 2020	$0.04098
May 31, 2020	$0.04098
June 30, 2020	$0.03970
July 30, 2020	$0.03233
August 28, 2020	$0.03220
September 29, 2020	$0.03220
October 29, 2020	$0.03220
November 27, 2020	$0.03220

______________________

(1) Less the per share distribution and stockholder servicing fees that are payable with respect to Class T Shares (as calculated on a daily basis).

As of September 30, 2020, we had distributions payable of $100,000.

______________________

(1) Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.4 million for both the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019.

Share Redemptions

Our share redemption program permits our stockholders to sell their shares back to us after they have held them for at least one year, subject to certain conditions and limitations. In addition, our Board may choose to amend the terms of, suspend or terminate our share redemption program in its sole discretion if it believes that such action is in the best interest of us and our stockholders. Any material modifications or suspension of the share redemption program will be disclosed to our stockholders as promptly as practicable in our reports filed with the SEC and via our website. Funding for the redemption of shares will generally be limited to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares under the DRIP, net of shares redeemed to date. We will not redeem in excess of 5.0% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid. In addition, we will generally limit quarterly redemptions to approximately 1.25% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12-month period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid, and to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares in the respective quarter under the DRIP. Any of the foregoing limits might prevent us from accommodating all redemption requests made in any fiscal quarter or in any 12-month period. In connection with the Merger, on August 30, 2020, our Board suspended our share redemption program, and therefore, no shares will be redeemed from our stockholders after that date unless and until the share redemption program is reinstated. During thenine months endedSeptember 30, 2020, we received valid redemption requests under our share redemption program totaling approximately 625,000 shares, of which we redeemed approximately 35,000 shares as of September 30, 2020 for $270,000 at an average redemption price of $7.61. The remaining redemption requests relating to approximately590,000shares went unfulfilled. A valid redemption request is one that complies with the applicable requirements and guidelines of our share redemption program then in effect.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We are continuing to closely monitor the outbreak of COVID-19 and its impact on our business, tenants, operating partners and the economy as a whole. The COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on our operations; however, we cannot estimate the ultimate magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact on our future operations and liquidity as of the filing date of our report. If the outbreak continues on its current trajectory, such impacts could be material.

Our Credit Facility provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $29.3 million in Term Loans. We had available borrowings of $0.0 million as of September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, we also had cash and cash equivalents of $2.8 million.Subject to potential credit losses in the remainder of 2020 due to tenants that default on their leases, file bankruptcy and/or otherwise experience significant financial difficulty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through available cash, cash provided by property operations, proceeds from the Offerings and borrowings from the Credit Facility or other sources. Additionally, given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, our Board has decided to make a determination as to the amount and timing of distributions on a monthly, instead of a quarterly, basis until such time that we have greater visibility into the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our property valuations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our Board approved and adopted amendments to the Amended DRIP and the Amended Share Redemption Program that, among other changes, respectively provide that the Amended DRIP and the Amended Share Redemption Program may be suspended at any time by majority vote of the Board without prior notice if the Board believes such action is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. As discussed above, in connection with the contemplated Merger, on August 30, 2020, the Board approved the suspension of the Amended DRIP and the Amended Share Redemption Program.

28

As of September 30, 2020, we believe that we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Modified Credit Agreement. However, our continued compliance with these debt covenants depends on many factors, including rent collections, which is impacted by the current and future economic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the event that the Merger is not completed, the Company expects to enter into new financing arrangements to meet its obligations as they become due.

Our operating cash flows will primarily be provided by the rental and other property income received from leased properties.

Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

On a short-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for the payment of operating expenses, distributions to, and redemptions by, stockholders and interest and principal on current and any future debt financings, including principal repayments of$25.7 milliondue September 23, 2021. We believe our cash on hand, net cash provided by operations and the entry into new financing arrangements will be sufficient to meet our obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business for at least 12 months following the date these financial statements are issued. However, this evaluation assumes continued positive cash flows.

Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

On a long-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for the payment of tenant improvements, operating expenses, distributions to, and redemptions by, stockholders and interest and principal on current and any future indebtedness. Generally, we expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through proceeds from net cash flows provided by operations, proceeds from the DRIP Offering, and from secured or unsecured borrowings from banks and other lenders.

We expect that substantially all net cash flows from operations will be used to pay distributions to our stockholders after certain capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions, are paid; however, we may use other sources to fund distributions, as necessary, including proceeds from the Offerings, borrowings on our Credit Facility and/or future borrowings. To the extent that cash flows from operations are lower due to lower-than-expected returns on the properties, distributions paid to our stockholders may be lower. We expect that substantially all net cash flows from the Offerings or debt financings will be used to fund acquisitions, certain capital expenditures, repayments of outstanding debt, and distributions to, or redemptions by, our stockholders.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2020, we had debt outstanding with a carrying value of $25.7 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.0%. See Note 6 — Credit Facility to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for certain terms of our debt outstanding.

Our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2020 were as follows:

	Payments due by period (1)
	Total		Less Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		More Than 5 Years
Principal payments – Credit Facility	$	25,675,000	$	25,675,000	$	—	$	—	$	—
Interest payments – Credit Facility (2)	753,368		753,368		—		—		—
Total	$	26,428,368	$	26,428,368	$	—	$	—	$	—

______________________

(1) The table does not include amounts due to CCI III Management or its affiliates pursuant to our Advisory Agreement because such amounts are not fixed and determinable.

(2) Payment obligations for the Term Loans are based on a weighted average interest rate of 3.0% as of September 30, 2020 and reflect a maturity date of September 23, 2021.

Our borrowings will not exceed 75% of the cost of our gross assets (or 300% of net assets) as of the date of any borrowing, which is the maximum level of indebtedness permitted under the North American Securities Administrators Association Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts; however, we may exceed that limit if approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in the next quarterly report along with a justification for such excess borrowing. Consistent with CCI III Management’s approach toward the moderate use of leverage, our Board has adopted a policy to further limit our borrowings to 60% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our gross assets, unless excess borrowing is approved by a majority of the independent

29

directors and disclosed to our stockholders in the next quarterly report along with a justification for such excess borrowing. As of September 30, 2020, our ratio of debt to total gross assets was 51.8% and our ratio of debt to the fair market value of our gross assets was 53.4%. Fair market value is based on the estimated market value of our real estate assets as of June 30, 2020 that were used to determine our estimated per share NAV.

Our management reviews net debt as part of its management of our overall liquidity, financial flexibility, capital structure and leverage, and we therefore believe that the presentation of net debt provides useful information to stockholders. Net debt is a non-GAAP measure used to show our outstanding principal debt balance, excluding certain GAAP adjustments, such as premiums or discounts, less all cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2020, our net debt leverage ratio, which is the ratio of net debt to total gross real estate assets net of gross intangible lease liabilities, if applicable, was 46.1%.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the Credit Facility balance, as reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, to net debt as of September 30, 2020:

	Balance as of September 30, 2020
Credit facility, net	$	25,597,242
Deferred costs	77,758
Less: Cash and cash equivalents	(2,793,214		)
Net debt	$	22,881,786
Gross real estate assets	$	49,605,205
Net debt leverage ratio	46.1		%

Cash Flow Analysis

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $58,000 for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. The change was primarily due to a decrease in the changes in accounts payable and deferred rental income due to the timing of cash receipts. Net loss after non-cash adjustments generally remained consistent for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. See “ — Results of Operations” for a more complete discussion of the factors impacting our operating performance.

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $208,000 for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020, as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $966,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The change was primarily due to proceeds from additional borrowings on the Credit Facility of $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. There were no borrowings on the Credit Facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in our net proceeds from the issuance of common stock due to the Company ceasing to issue shares in the Offering on April 30, 2019.

Election as a REIT

We elected to be taxed, and currently qualify, as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2017. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must continue to meet certain requirements relating to our organization, sources of income, nature of assets, distributions of income to our stockholders and recordkeeping. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders so long as we distribute at least 90% of our annual taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding certain non-cash items and net capital gains).

If we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT for any reason in a taxable year and applicable relief provisions do not apply, we will be subject to tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We will not be able to deduct distributions paid to our stockholders in any year in which we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT. We also will be disqualified for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost, unless we are entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. No provision for federal income taxes has been made in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. We are subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which have been provided for in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our accounting policies have been established to conform with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and

30

assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management believes that we have made these estimates and assumptions in an appropriate manner and in a way that accurately reflects our financial condition. We continually test and evaluate these estimates and assumptions using our historical knowledge of the business, as well as other factors, to ensure that they are reasonable for reporting purposes. However, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. We believe the following critical accounting policies govern the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, which should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of our accounting policies and procedures included in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

We consider our critical accounting policies to be the following:

• Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate Assets; and

• Recoverability of Real Estate Assets.

A complete description of such policies and our considerations is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 and related notes thereto.

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

We have entered into agreements with CCI III Management or its affiliates whereby we agree to pay certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, CCI III Management or its affiliates, such as acquisition and advisory fees and expenses, organization and offering costs, distribution and stockholder servicing fees, and reimbursement of certain operating costs. See Note 8 — Related-Party Transactions and Arrangements to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.

In addition, affiliates of CCI III Management act as an advisor to CMFT, CCPT V, CCIT II and CIM Income NAV, all of which are public, non-listed REITs sponsored or operated by CCO Group. As such, there may be conflicts of interest where CCI III Management or its affiliates, while serving in the capacity as sponsor, general partner, officer, director, key personnel and/or advisor for CIM or another real estate program sponsored or operated by CIM or CCO Group, including other real estate offerings in registration, may be in conflict with us in connection with providing services to other real estate-related programs related to property acquisitions, property dispositions, and property management among others. The compensation arrangements between affiliates of CCI III Management and these other real estate programs sponsored or operated by CCO Group could influence the advice provided to us. See Part I, Item 1. Business — Conflicts of Interest in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements that had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk

The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or interest rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk relating to variable rate borrowings. To meet our short and long-term liquidity requirements, we borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to manage our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, collars and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not intend to hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. As of September 30, 2020, we had no interest rate hedge contracts. We do not have any foreign operations and thus we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

Interest Rate Risk

In connection with the acquisition of our properties, we have obtained variable rate debt financing and are therefore exposed to changes in LIBOR. As ofSeptember 30, 2020, we had an aggregate of$25.7 millionof variable rate debt outstanding under the Credit Facility, and a change of 50 basis points in interest rates would result in a change in interest expense of$128,000per annum. In the future, we may obtain additional variable rate debt financing to fund certain property acquisitions and may be further exposed to interest rate changes. Our objectives in managing interest rate risks will be to limit the impact of interest rate changes on operations and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we expect to borrow primarily at interest rates with the lowest margins available and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) that regulates LIBOR announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative to U.S. dollar LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. We are not able to predict when LIBOR will cease to be available or when there will be sufficient liquidity in the SOFR markets. Any changes adopted by FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, our interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form.

We have variable rate debt outstanding under our Credit Facility maturing September 2021, as further discussed above, that is indexed to LIBOR. As such, we are monitoring and evaluating the related risks, which includes interest on loans. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to a new alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. The value of loans tied to LIBOR could also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued. For some instruments, the method of transitioning to an alternative rate may be challenging, as they may require negotiation with the respective counterparty.

If a contract is not transitioned to an alternative rate and LIBOR is discontinued, the impact on our contracts is likely to vary by contract. If LIBOR is discontinued or if the methods of calculating LIBOR change from their current form, interest rates on our current or future indebtedness may be adversely affected.

While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until the end of 2021, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. This could result, for example, if sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified.

Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to us, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. We are subject to tenant, geographic and industry concentrations. Any downturn of the economic conditions in one or more of these future tenants, states or industries could result in a material reduction of our cash flows or material losses to us.

The factors considered in determining the credit risk of our tenants include, but are not limited to: payment history; credit status and change in status including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (credit ratings for public companies are used as a

32

primary metric); change in tenant space needs (i.e., expansion/downsize); tenant financial performance; economic conditions in a specific geographic region; and industry specific credit considerations. We believe that the credit risk of our portfolio is reduced by the high quality of our existing tenants, reviews of prospective tenants’ risk profiles prior to lease execution and consistent monitoring of our portfolio to identify potential problem tenants and mitigation options.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to us, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that no controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, an evaluation as of September 30, 2020 was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of September 30, 2020, were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

33

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we may become subject to litigation or claims. We are not aware of any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, to which we are a party or to which our properties are the subject.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Risks Related to Real Estate Assets

Pandemics or other health crises may adversely affect our business and/or operations, our tenants’ financial condition and the profitability of our properties.

Our business and/or operations and the businesses of our tenants could be materially and adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to a pandemic or other health crisis, such as the recent outbreak of COVID-19.

The risk, or public perception of the risk, of the COVID-19 outbreak and the associated “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders or other quarantine mandates or public health guidance issued by local, state or federal authorities may adversely affect our tenants’ businesses and our tenants’ ability to adequately staff their businesses. Such events could adversely impact those tenants’ sales and/or cause the temporary closure or slowdown of certain of our tenants’ businesses and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Similarly, the potential effects of quarantined employees of office tenants may adversely impact their businesses and affect their ability to pay rent on a timely basis.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our operations and those of our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the actions taken to contain the COVID-19 pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related containment measures. Management will evaluate any rent relief requests received on a case-by-case basis and not all requests for rent relief may be granted. To the extent we grant requests for rent relief, either in the form of rent deferral or abatement, or to the extent our tenants default on their lease obligations, it may have a negative impact on our rental revenue and net income. Management will continue to monitor the impact to our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and occupancy. Accordingly, we cannot predict the significance, extent or duration of any adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. Moreover, certain risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 should be interpreted as heightened risks as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The declaration, amount and payment of future cash distributions on our common stock are subject to uncertainty due to current market conditions.

All distributions will be declared at the discretion of our Board and will depend on our earnings, our financial condition, REIT distribution requirements, and other factors as our Board may deem relevant from time to time. The economic impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect our ability to pay distributions. Our Board is under no obligation or requirement to declare future distributions and will continue to assess our common stock distribution rate on an ongoing basis, as market conditions and our financial position continue to evolve. We cannot assure you that we will achieve results that will allow us to pay distributions on our common stock or that the level of distributions will be maintained or increased.

Risks Associated with Debt Financing

Changes in banks’ inter-bank lending rate reporting practices or the method pursuant to which LIBOR is determined may adversely affect the value of the financial obligations to be held or issued by us that are linked to LIBOR.

LIBOR and other indices which are deemed “benchmarks” are the subject of recent national, international, and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. Some of these reforms are already effective while others are still to be implemented. These reforms may cause such benchmarks to perform differently than in the past, or have other consequences which cannot be predicted. It currently appears that, over time, U.S. Dollar LIBOR may be replaced by the SOFR published by

34

the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. However, the manner and timing of this shift is currently unknown. Market participants are still considering how various types of financial instruments and securitization vehicles would react to a discontinuation of LIBOR. It is possible that not all of our assets and liabilities will transition away from LIBOR at the same time, and it is possible that not all of our assets and liabilities will transition to the same alternative reference rate, in each case increasing the difficulty of hedging. For example, switching existing financial instruments and hedging transactions from LIBOR to SOFR requires calculations of a spread. Industry organizations are attempting to structure the spread calculation in a manner that minimizes the possibility of value transfer between counterparties, borrowers, and lenders by virtue of the transition, but there is no assurance that the calculated spread will be fair and accurate or that all asset types and all types of securitization vehicles will use the same spread. The Company and other market participants have less experience understanding and modeling SOFR-based assets and liabilities than LIBOR-based assets and liabilities, increasing the difficulty of investing, hedging, and risk management. The process of transition involves operational risks. It is also possible that no transition will occur for many financial instruments. At this time, it is not possible to predict the effect of any such changes, any establishment of alternative reference rates or any other reforms to LIBOR that may be implemented. Uncertainty as to the nature of such potential changes, alternative reference rates or other reforms may adversely affect the market for or value of any securities on which the interest or dividend is determined by reference to LIBOR, loans, derivatives and other financial obligations or on our overall financial condition or results of operations. More generally, any of the above changes or any other consequential changes to LIBOR or any other “benchmark” as a result of international, national or other proposals for reform or other initiatives, or any further uncertainty in relation to the timing and manner of implementation of such changes, could have a material adverse effect on the value of and return on any securities based on or linked to a “benchmark.”

Risks Related to the Merger

Failure to complete the Merger could negatively impact the future of our business and financial results.

If the Merger is not completed, the ongoing business of our Company could be materially adversely affected and we will be subject to a variety of risks associated with the failure to complete the Merger, including the following:

• we will be required, under certain circumstances in which the Merger Agreement is terminated, to pay to CMFT a termination fee of $710,000 and reimbursement of expenses incurred by CMFT in connection with the Merger of up to $130,000;

• we are having to bear certain costs incurred by us relating to the Merger, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor, filing, printing and mailing fees; and

• the diversion of our management’s focus and resources from operational matters and other strategic opportunities while working to implement the Merger.

If the Merger is not completed, these risks could materially affect our business and financial results.

The pendency of the Merger, including as a result of the restrictions on the operation of our and CMFT’s business during the period between signing the Merger Agreement and the completion of the Merger, could adversely affect the business and operations of our Company, CMFT or both.

In connection with the pending Merger, some of our business partners or vendors and CMFT may delay or defer decisions, which could negatively impact the revenues, earnings, cash flows and expenses of our Company and CMFT, regardless of whether the Merger is completed. In addition, due to operating covenants in the Merger Agreement, we and CMFT may be unable, during the pendency of the Merger, to pursue certain strategic transactions, undertake certain significant capital projects, undertake certain significant financing transactions and otherwise pursue other actions that are not in our ordinary course of business, even if such actions would prove beneficial. In addition, CMFT faces similar restrictions and risks related to the CCPT V Merger, which could further impact its revenues, earnings, cash flows and expenses.

The Merger Agreement and our Advisory Agreement contain provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquiror of us or could result in a competing acquisition proposal being at a lower price than it might otherwise be.

The Merger Agreement restricts our ability to initiate, solicit, facilitate or knowingly encourage any Acquisition Proposal, subject to limited exceptions. Prior to making an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or entering into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement, we are required to provide CMFT with notice of our intention to make such an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement and an opportunity to negotiate (to the extent CMFT wishes to negotiate) to make adjustments to the terms of the Merger Agreement such that the Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal.

Upon termination of the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances involving an Acquisition Proposal, we are required to pay CMFT a termination fee of $710,000 and an additional amount of up to $130,000 as reimbursement for expenses incurred

35

by CMFT in connection with the Merger. Further, although our advisor waived its right to receive any fees under the Advisory Agreement that it would have been entitled to receive upon the consummation of the Merger, we would be responsible for paying all or a portion of such fees to the advisor in connection with the consummation of certain other Acquisition Proposals, including a subordinated performance fee equal to 15% of the net sale proceeds of such Acquisition Proposal remaining after our stockholders have received distributions equal to 100% of Invested Capital (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) plus a 6.0% return thereon.

These provisions could discourage a potential competing acquiror that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of our business from considering or making a competing Acquisition Proposal, even if the potential competing acquiror was prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share cash value than that market value proposed to be received or realized in the Merger, or might cause a potential competing acquiror to propose to pay a lower price than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the applicable termination fee under the Merger Agreement or fees to the advisor that, in each case, may become payable in certain circumstances.

In certain circumstances, either we or CMFT may terminate the Merger Agreement.

Either we or CMFT may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger has not been consummated by the Outside Date. Also, the Merger Agreement may be terminated in certain circumstances if a final and non-appealable order is entered prohibiting the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, upon a material uncured breach by the other party that would cause the closing conditions not to be satisfied, or if our stockholders fail to approve the Merger or the amendment to our charter that is required to consummate the Merger. We also have the right to terminate the Merger Agreement if CMFT increases the exchange ratio in respect of the CCPT V Merger to be greater than or equal to 2.892 shares of CMFT Common Stock per share of common stock of CCPT V. In addition, at any time prior to the time our stockholders approve the Merger and the amendment to our charter that is required to consummate the Merger, we have the right to terminate the Merger Agreement in order to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal. Finally, at any time prior to the time our stockholders approve the Merger and the amendment to our charter that is required to consummate the Merger, CMFT has the right to terminate the Merger Agreement upon an Adverse Recommendation Change, upon the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer for any shares of our common stock that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal if our Board fails to recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer or to publicly reaffirm our Board’s recommendation after being requested to do so by CMFT or if we breach or fail to comply in any material respect with certain of our obligations regarding the solicitation of and response to Acquisition Proposals.

We and CMFT each expect to incur substantial expenses related to the Merger.

We and CMFT each expect to incur substantial expenses in connection with completing the Merger and integrating our properties and operations with CMFT and, if the CCPT V Merger is consummated, CMFT will incur additional expenses in connection with the further integration of CCPT V. While we and CMFT each have assumed that a certain level of transaction expenses would be incurred, there are a number of factors beyond the control of each company that could affect the total amount or the timing of such expenses. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately at the present time. As a result, the transaction expenses associated with the Merger could, particularly in the near term, exceed the savings that CMFT expects to achieve from the elimination of duplicative expenses and the realization of economies of scale and cost savings following the completion of the Merger.

The Merger may be dilutive to estimated net income for our stockholders.

The Merger may be dilutive to estimated net income for our stockholders, which would potentially decrease the amount of funds available to distribute to our stockholders as stockholders of the combined company following the Merger (the “Combined Company”), as well as for our stockholders as stockholders of the fully combined company following the Merger and the CCPT V Merger (the “Fully Combined Company”). For instance, on a pro forma basis, assuming the Merger had been consummated on January 1, 2020, the net income per share of the Combined Company for the six months ended June 30, 2020 would have been less than the actual net income per share of our common stock during the same period.

The market value ascribed to the shares of common stock of our Company upon a liquidity event may be significantly lower than the estimated per share NAV of CMFT Common Stock considered by our Board in approving and recommending the Merger.

In approving and recommending the Merger, our Board considered, among other things, the most recent estimated per share NAV of our common stock and CMFT Common Stock as determined by our Board and the CMFT board of directors, respectively, with the assistance of their respective third-party valuation experts. The estimated per share NAV of CMFT Common Stock may not be immediately determined following the consummation of the Merger and the CCPT V Merger. In the event that the Fully Combined Company completes a liquidity event after consummation of the Merger and the CCPT V

36

Merger, such as a listing of its shares on a national securities exchange, a merger in which stockholders of the Fully Combined Company receive securities that are listed on a national securities exchange, or a sale of the Fully Combined Company for cash, the market value of the shares of the Fully Combined Company upon consummation of such liquidity event may be significantly lower than the current estimated value considered by our Board and the estimated per share NAV of CMFT Common Stock that may be reflected on the account statements of stockholders of the Fully Combined Company after consummation of the Merger and the CCPT V Merger. For example, if the shares of the Fully Combined Company are listed on a national securities exchange at some point after the consummation of the Merger and the CCPT V Merger, the trading price of the shares may be significantly lower than the most recent estimated per share NAV of CMFT Common Stock of $7.31 as of June 30, 2020.

If the Merger does not qualify as a tax-free reorganization, there may be adverse tax consequences.

The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The closing of the Merger is conditioned on the receipt by us and CMFT of an opinion of counsel to the effect that the Merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. However, these legal opinions will not be binding on the Internal Revenue Service or on the courts. If, for any reason, the Merger were to fail to qualify as a tax-free reorganization, then each stockholder generally would recognize gain or loss, as applicable, equal to the difference between (1) the merger consideration (i.e. the fair market value of the shares of CMFT Common Stock) received by such stockholder in the Merger; and (2) such stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Our Board has adopted a share redemption program that permits our stockholders to sell their shares back to us after they have held them for at least one year, subject to the significant conditions and limitations described in the Registration Statement. In addition, our Board may choose to amend the terms of, suspend or terminate our share redemption program at any time in its sole discretion if it believes that such action is in the best interest of us and our stockholders. Funding for the redemption of shares will generally be limited to the cumulative net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares under the DRIP, net of shares redeemed to date. Under our share redemption program, we will not redeem in excess of 5.0% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid. In addition, we will generally limit quarterly redemptions to approximately 1.25% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12-month period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid, and to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares in the respective quarter under the DRIP. Any of the foregoing limits might prevent us from accommodating all redemption requests made in any fiscal quarter or in any 12-month period. In connection with the Merger, our Board suspended our share redemption program on August 30, 2020, and therefore, no shares will be redeemed from our stockholders after that date unless and until the share redemption program is reinstated. As of September 30, 2020, the estimated per share NAV was $7.76 for both Class A Shares and Class T Shares, which was established by our Board on August 12, 2020 using a valuation date of June 30, 2020. This estimated per share NAV serves as the most recent estimated value for purposes of the share redemption program, effective August 14, 2020, until such time as our Board determines a new estimated per share NAV.

37

In general, we redeem shares on a quarterly basis. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we redeemed shares, including those redeemable due to death, as follows:

Period		Total Number of Shares Redeemed	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Maximum Number of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs
July 1, 2020 – July 31, 2020
	Class A Shares	—	$	—	—	(1)
	Class T Shares	—	$	—	—	(1)
August 1, 2020 – August 31, 2020
	Class A Shares	11,940	$	7.63	11,940	(1)
	Class T Shares	5,309	$	7.63	5,309	(1)
September 1, 2020 – September 30, 2020
	Class A Shares	—	$	—	—	(1)
	Class T Shares	—	$	—	—	(1)
Total		17,249			17,249	(1)

2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Cole Office & Industrial REIT (CCIT III), Inc. (the “Company”) is a non-exchange traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”) formed as a Maryland corporation on May 22, 2014, that elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2017. The Company generally acquires and operates commercial real estate assets, primarily consisting of single-tenant, income-producing necessity office and industrial properties, which are leased to creditworthy tenants under long-term leases. As of September 30, 2020, the Company owned two office and industrial properties, comprising 391,000 rentable square feet of commercial space located in two states. As of September 30, 2020, the rentable square feet at these properties was 100% leased.

Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through Cole Corporate Income Operating Partnership III, LP (“CCI III OP”), a Delaware limited partnership, of which the Company is the sole general partner and owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the partnership interests.

The Company is externally managed by Cole Corporate Income Management III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CCI III Management”), which is an affiliate of CIM Group, LLC (“CIM”). CIM is a community-focused real estate and infrastructure owner, operator, developer and lender with multi-disciplinary expertise, including in acquisitions, management, development, leasing, research and capital markets. CIM is headquartered in Los Angeles, California and has offices in Oakland, California; Bethesda, Maryland; Dallas, Texas; New York, New York; Chicago, Illinois; Phoenix, Arizona; Orlando, Florida; Tokyo, Japan; and Atlanta, Georgia.

CCO Group, LLC owns and controls CCI III Management, the Company’s advisor, and is the indirect owner of CCO Capital, LLC (“CCO Capital”), the Company’s dealer manager, and CREI Advisors, LLC (“CREI Advisors”), the Company’s property manager. CCO Group, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, “CCO Group”) serve as the Company’s sponsor and as a sponsor to CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. (“CMFT”), Cole Credit Property Trust V, Inc. (“CCPT V”), Cole Office & Industrial REIT (CCIT II), Inc. (“CCIT II”) and CIM Income NAV, Inc. (“CIM Income NAV”).

On September 22, 2016, the Company commenced its initial public offering on a “best efforts” basis, offering up to a maximum of $3.5 billion in shares of common stock (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the Offering, the Company offered up to $2.5 billion in shares of its common stock pursuant to the primary offering, consisting of two classes of shares: Class A common stock (“Class A Shares”) at a price of $10.00 per share (up to $1.25 billion in shares) and Class T common stock (“Class T Shares”) at a price of $9.57 per share (up to $1.25 billion in shares). Pursuant to the Offering, the Company also offered up to $1.0 billion in shares of its common stock pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) at a purchase price during the Offering equal to the per share primary offering prices net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees, or $9.10 per share for both Class A Shares and Class T Shares.

Effective December 31, 2018, the primary portion of the Offering was terminated, but the Company continued to issue Class A Shares and Class T Shares pursuant to the DRIP portion of the Offering. On March 28, 2019, the Company registered an aggregate of $4,300,000 of Class A Shares and Class T Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-230565) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which was declared effective on April 5, 2019 (the “DRIP Offering” and collectively with the Offering, the “Offerings”). As of April 30, 2019, the Company ceased issuing shares in the Offering and had sold a total of $31.2 million of Class A Shares and Class T Shares pursuant to the Offering, including $30.2 million ($23.3 million in Class A Shares and $6.9 million in Class T Shares) sold to the public pursuant to the primary portion of the Offering and $1.0 million ($655,000 in Class A Shares and $350,000 in Class T Shares) sold pursuant to the DRIP portion of the Offering. The unsold Class A Shares and Class T Shares in the Offering of $3.5 billion in the aggregate were subsequently deregistered. The Company began to issue Class A Shares and Class T Shares under the DRIP Offering on May 1, 2019 and continued to issue shares under the DRIP Offering until, on August 30, 2020, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) suspended the DRIP Offering in connection with the entry of the Company into the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

The Board establishes an updated estimated per share net asset value (“NAV”) of the Company’s common stock on at least an annual basis for purposes of assisting broker-dealers that participated in the Offering in meeting their customer account reporting obligations under Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2231. Distributions are reinvested in shares of the Company’s common stock under 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 ofSeptember 30, 2020, the estimated per share NAV was$7.76per share for both Class A Shares and Class T Shares, which was established onAugust 12, 2020using a valuation date ofJune 30, 2020. Commencing onAugust 14, 2020,$7.76served as the per share NAV for both Class A Shares and Class T Shares under the DRIP Offering. The Board previously established a per share NAV as ofFebruary 13, 2019,December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020. The Company’s estimated pershare NAV is not audited or reviewed by its independent registered public accounting firm. Given the relative stability of the Company’s rent collections and the per share NAV for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, the Board determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to cease incurring the additional costs associated with quarterly valuations and return to updating the Company’s per share NAV on an annual basis in accordance with its valuation policies.

Pending Merger with CMFT

On August 30, 2020, the Company, CMFT and Thor III Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CMFT (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as subsequently amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated November 3, 2020, (the “Merger Agreement”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub surviving the Merger, such that following the Merger, the surviving entity will continue as a wholly owned subsidiary of CMFT. In accordance with the applicable provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”), the separate existence of the Company shall cease at the effective time of the Merger.

At the effective time of the Merger and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding Class A Share and Class T Share will be converted into the right to receive 1.098 shares of CMFT’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “CMFT Common Stock”), subject to the treatment of fractional shares in accordance with the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Consideration”). At the effective time of the Merger and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding Class A Share granted under the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled in exchange for an amount equal to the Merger Consideration.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants relating to the conduct of the Company’s and CMFT’s respective businesses during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the completion of the Merger, subject to certain exceptions.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company had a “go shop” period that ended on 11:59 p.m. New York City time on October 7, 2020 (the “Go Shop Period End Time”) during which the Company and its subsidiaries and representatives could initiate, solicit, provide information and enter into discussions concerning proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions. Following the Go Shop Period End Time, the Company and its subsidiaries and representatives may not solicit, provide information or enter into discussions concerning proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions, subject to certain limited exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement also provides that prior to the Stockholder Approval (as defined below), the Board may, under specified circumstances, make an Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in the Merger Agreement), including withdrawing its recommendation of the Merger, subject to complying with certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain circumstances, including by either the Company or CMFT if the Merger has not been consummated on or before 11:59 p.m. New York time on May 30, 2021 (the “Outside Date”), if a final and non-appealable order is entered permanently restraining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, if the Stockholder Approval has not been obtained at the Stockholders Meeting (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or upon a material uncured breach of the respective obligations, covenants or agreements by the other party that would cause the closing conditions in the Merger Agreement not to be satisfied.

In addition, the Company may terminate the Merger Agreement in order to enter into an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement” with respect to a “Superior Proposal” (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) at any time prior to receipt by the Company of the Stockholder Approval pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.

CMFT may terminate the Merger Agreement at any time prior to the receipt of the Stockholder Approval, in certain limited circumstances, including upon (i) an Adverse Recommendation Change, (ii) a tender offer or exchange offer that is commenced which the Board fails to recommend against or (iii) a breach by the Company, in any material respect, of its obligations under the go shop or no solicitation provisions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

If the Merger Agreement is terminated because the Merger was not consummated before the Outside Date or because the Stockholder Approval was not obtained, and (i) an Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) has been publicly announced or otherwise communicated to the Company’s stockholders prior to the Stockholders Meeting and (ii) within 12 months after the date of such termination (A) the Company consummates or enters into an agreement (that is thereafter consummated) in respect of an Acquisition Proposal for 50% or more of the Company’s equity or assets or (B) the Board recommends or fails to recommend against an Acquisition Proposal structured as a tender or exchange offer for 50% or more of the Company’s equity and such Acquisition Proposal is actually consummated, then the Company must pay CMFT a termination fee of $710,000 and up to $130,000 as reimbursement for CMFT’s Expenses (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

If the Merger Agreement is terminated in connection with the Company’s acceptance of a Superior Proposal or making an Adverse Recommendation Change, then the Company must pay to CMFT a termination fee of $710,000 and up to $130,000 as reimbursement for CMFT’s Expenses, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The obligation of each party to consummate the Merger is subject to a number of customary conditions, including receipt of the approval of the Merger (and of an amendment to the Company’s charter that is required to consummate the Merger) by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote thereon (the “Stockholder Approval”), delivery of certain documents and legal opinions, the truth and correctness of the representations and warranties of the parties (subject to the materiality standards contained in the Merger Agreement) and the absence of a CCIT III Material Adverse Effect or CMFT Material Adverse Effect (as each term is defined in the Merger Agreement).

On August 30, 2020, CMFT, CCPT V and Thor V Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CMFT (“CCPT V Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as subsequently amended on October 22, 2020, October 24, 2020 and October 29, 2020, (the “CCPT V Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which CCPT V will be merged with and into CCPT V Merger Sub (the “CCPT V Merger”). Neither the Merger nor the CCPT V Merger is contingent upon the completion of the other.

On August 30, 2020, CMFT, CCIT II and Thor II Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CMFT (“CCIT II Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “CCIT II Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which CCIT II would have merged with and into CCIT II Merger Sub, with CCIT II Merger Sub surviving the merger as the surviving entity such that following the merger, the surviving entity would have continued as a wholly owned subsidiary of CMFT. The CCIT II Merger Agreement was subsequently terminated on October 29, 2020 and, as a result, all provisions of the Merger Agreement relating to CCIT II or the CCIT II Merger Agreement are no longer applicable.

Concurrently with the entry into the Merger Agreement, the Company and CCI III Management entered into a letter agreement (the “Termination Agreement”). Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the advisory agreement between the Company and CCI III Management (the “Advisory Agreement”) will be terminated at the effective time of the Merger. Also pursuant to the Termination Agreement, CCI III Management agreed to waive any subordinated performance fee or disposition fee (as described in Note 8 — Related-Party Transactions and Arrangements) it otherwise would be entitled to pursuant to the Advisory Agreement related to the Merger. In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Termination Agreement will be automatically terminated.

In connection with the contemplated Merger, on August 30, 2020, the Board approved the suspension of the DRIP, and, therefore, distributions paid after that date will be paid in cash to all stockholders unless and until the DRIP is reinstated. Additionally, on August 30, 2020, the Board approved the suspension of the Company’s share redemption program, and therefore, no shares will be redeemed from the Company’s stockholders after that date unless and until the share redemption program is reinstated.

On August 30, 2020, the Board also approved and adopted the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”) to provide that (i) the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (A) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (B) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by a director or officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or its stockholders or asserting a claim of breach of any standard of conduct set forth in the MGCL, (C) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director or officer or other employee of the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL, the charter of the Company or the bylaws of the Company, or (D) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director or officer or other employee of the Company that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine and (ii) the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, will be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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, 2019, and related notes thereto, set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. 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.

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; or other circumstances. 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. No impairment indicators were identified and no impairment losses were recorded during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 or 2019. The Company’s impairment assessment as of September 30, 2020 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 impairment charges in the future. The Company cannot provide any assurance that material impairment charges with respect to the Company’s real estate assets will not occur during 2020 or in future periods, particularly in light of the negative economic impacts caused by the current novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. If the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic cause economic and market conditions to continue to deteriorate or if the Company’s expected holding periods for assets change, subsequent tests for impairment could result in additional impairment charges in the future. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has not identified any impairments resulting from COVID-19 related impacts, including as a result of tenant requests for rent relief. The Company generally intends to hold its assets for the long-term; therefore, a temporary change in cash flows due to COVID-19 related impacts alone would not be an impairment indicator. However, the Company has yet to see the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and the extent to which it may impact the Company’s tenants in the future. Indications of a tenant’s inability to continue as a going concern, changes in the Company’s view or strategy relative to a tenant’s business or industry as a result of the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, or changes in the Company’s long-term hold strategies, could be indicative of an impairment indicator. Accordingly, the Company will continue to monitor circumstances and events in future periods to determine whether the carrying value of the Company’s real estate assets are recoverable.

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. There were no assets identified as held for sale as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

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.

Revenue Recognition

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.

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.Therewere no lease-related receivable write-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Earnings (Loss) and Distributions Per Share

The Company has two classes of common stock. Accordingly, the Company utilizes the two-class method to determine its earnings per share, which can result in different earnings per share for each of the classes. Under the two-class method, earnings per share of each class of common stock are computed by dividing the sum of the distributed earnings to common stockholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares for each class of common stock for the respective period. The distributed earnings to Class T Share common stockholders represents distributions declared less the distribution and stockholder servicing fees paid with respect to Class T Shares sold in the primary portion of the Offering. Diluted income per share, when applicable, considers the effect of any potentially dilutive share equivalents, of which the Company had none for each of the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 or 2019.Distributions per share are calculated based on the authorized monthly distribution rate. Prior to April 1, 2020, distributions were calculated based on the authorized daily distribution rate.

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 June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses(Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), 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 are intended to 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) (“ASC 842”). ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2018-19 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, and has concluded that there is no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). This ASU amends and removes several disclosure requirements including the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 also modifies some disclosure requirements and requires additional disclosures for changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and requires the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The provisions of ASU 2018-13 are effective January 1, 2020 using a prospective transition method for amendments effecting changes in unrealized gains and losses, significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and narrative description on uncertainty of measurements. The remaining provisions of ASU 2018-13 are to be applied retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, and has concluded that there is no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities (“ASU 2018-17”). The guidance changes the guidance for determining whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest. Under the new ASU, indirect interests held through related parties under common control will now be considered on a proportional basis when determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. Such indirect interests were previously treated the same as direct interests. ASU 2018-17 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2018-17 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, and has concluded that there is no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2020, the FASB issued a question and answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the business disruptions and challenges severely affecting the global economy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, many lessors may be required to provide rent deferrals and other lease concessions to lessees. While the lease modification guidance in ASC 842 addresses routine changes to lease terms resulting from negotiations between the lessee and the lessor, this guidance did not contemplate concessions being so rapidly executed to address the sudden liquidity constraints of some lessees arising from COVID-19 related impacts. Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have 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 under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A allows the Company, if certain criteria have been met, to bypass the lease by lease analysis, and instead elect to either apply the lease modification accounting framework or not, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances. The future impact of the Lease Modification Q&A is dependent upon the extent of lease concessions granted to tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in future periods and the elections made by the Company at the time of entering into such concessions. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has collected 100% of rental payments originally contracted for from the Company’s two tenants during the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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:

Credit facility — 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. These financial instruments are valued using Level 2 inputs. As of September 30, 2020, the estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was $25.7 million, which approximated its carrying value. As of December 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was $24.2 million, which approximated its carrying value. The carrying and fair values exclude net deferred financing costs.

Other financial instruments — The Company considers the carrying values of its cash and cash equivalents, tenant receivables, accrued expenses and accounts payable, 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. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there have beenno transfers of financial assets or liabilities between fair value hierarchy levels.

Credit Facility

The Company has a secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase”), as administrative agent, and the lenders under the credit agreement, as modified on September 17, 2020 (the “Modified Credit Agreement”). The Modified Credit Agreement reduced the borrowing commitment to $25.7 million, extended the maturity date to September 23, 2021 with no option to further extend, and amended the definition of asset value, in part, by removing certain tenant concentration limits, among other things. The Modified Credit Agreement also converted the Credit Facility balance from revolving loans into non-revolving term loans (the “Term Loans”) and instituted monthly principal payments through the maturity date. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $25.7 million of debt outstanding under its Credit Facility.

Depending upon the type of loan specified and overall leverage ratio, the Credit Facility bears interest at (i) the one-month, two-month, three-month or six-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) multiplied by the statutory reserve rate (the “Eurodollar Rate”) plus an interest rate spread of 2.75%; or (ii) a base rate of 1.75%. As of September 30, 2020, the Term Loans outstanding totaled $25.7 million at a weighted average interest rate of 3.0%. The Company had no available borrowings as of September 30, 2020.

The Modified Credit Agreement contains provisions with respect to covenants, events of default and remedies customary for facilities of this nature. In particular, the Modified Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth greater than or equal to75%of the equity issued from the date of theModified Credit Agreement, a leverage ratio no greater than60%, and a fixed charge coverage ratio equal to or greater than1.50. The Company believes it was in compliance with the financial covenants of theModified Credit Agreement as ofSeptember 30, 2020.

Maturities

Liquidity and Financial Condition — As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $25.7 million of debt outstanding under the Credit Facility maturing on September 23, 2021. The Company expects to enter into new financing arrangements to meet its obligations as they become due in the event that the Merger is not completed. The Company believes cash on hand, net cash provided by operations, and the entry into new financing arrangements will be sufficient to meet its obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business for at least 12 months following the date these financial statements are issued. The following table summarizes the scheduled aggregate principal repayments for the Company’s outstanding debt subsequent to September 30, 2020:

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has incurred, and will continue to incur, commissions, fees and expenses payable to CCI III Management and certain of its affiliates in connection with the Offerings and the acquisition, management and disposition of its assets.

Selling commissions and dealer manager fees

In connection with the primary portion of the Offering, which was terminated on December 31, 2018, CCO Capital, the Company’s dealer manager, which is affiliated with CCI III Management, received selling commissions of up to 7.0% and 3.0% of gross offering proceeds from the primary portion of the Offering for Class A Shares and Class T Shares, respectively. CCO Capital reallowed 100% of selling commissions earned to participating broker-dealers. In addition, 2.0% of gross offering proceeds from the primary portion of the Offering for both Class A Shares and Class T Shares was paid to CCO Capital as a dealer manager fee. CCO Capital, in its sole discretion, reallowed all or a portion of its dealer manager fee to participating broker-dealers. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees are paid to CCO Capital or other participating broker-dealers with respect to shares sold pursuant to the DRIP.

Organization and offering expenses

All other organization and offering expenses associated with the sale of the Company’s common stock (excluding selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution and stockholder servicing fees) were paid by CCI III Management or its affiliates and were reimbursed by the Company up to 1.0% of aggregate gross offering proceeds, including proceeds from sales of shares under the DRIP. As of September 30, 2020, CCI III Management had paid organization and offering expenses in excess of the 1.0% of aggregate gross offering proceeds in connection with the Offering. These excess amounts were not included in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company because such amounts were not a liability of the Company as they exceeded 1.0% of gross proceeds from the Offering. Since the Offering has been terminated, these excess amounts will not be paid.

Distribution and stockholder servicing fees

The Company pays CCO Capital a distribution and stockholder servicing fee for Class T Shares that, prior to the Board’s determination of an estimated per share NAV, was calculated on a daily basis in an amount equal to 1/365th of 1.0% of the purchase price per share of the Class T Shares sold in the primary portion of the Offering. Commencing on February 19, 2019, the distribution and stockholder servicing fee for Class T Shares is calculated on a daily basis in an amount equal to 1/365th of 1.0% of the most recent estimated per share NAV. The distribution and stockholder servicing fee is paid monthly in arrears from cash flows from operations or, if the Company’s cash flows from operations are not sufficient to pay the distribution and stockholder servicing fee, from borrowings in anticipation of future cash flows. An estimated liability for future distribution and stockholder servicing fees payable to CCO Capital was recognized at the time each Class T Share was sold and included in due to affiliates in the condensed consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding decrease to capital in excess of par value. The Company will cease paying the distribution and stockholder servicing fee with respect to Class T Shares at the earliest of (i) the end of the month in which the total distribution and stockholder servicing fees paid by a stockholder within his or her individual account would be equal to 4.0% of the stockholder’s total gross investment amount at the time of the purchase of the primary Class T Shares held in such account, or a lower limit agreed upon between the Company’s dealer manager and the participating broker-dealer at the time such Class T Shares were sold; (ii) the date on which the aggregate underwriting compensation from all sources equals 10.0% of the gross proceeds from the aggregate sale of the Class A Shares and Class T Shares in the Offering, excluding proceeds from sales pursuant to the DRIP; (iii) the fourth anniversary of the last day of the month in which the Offering (excluding the offering of shares pursuant to the DRIP) terminates; (iv) the date such Class T Share is no longer outstanding; and (v) the date the Company effects a liquidity event. CCO Capital may, in its discretion, reallow to participating broker-dealers all or a portion of the distribution and stockholder servicing fee for services that such participating broker-dealers perform in connection with the distribution of Class T Shares. At the time the Company ceases paying the distribution and stockholder servicing fee with respect to an outstanding Class T Share pursuant to the provisions above, such Class T Share will convert into a number of Class A Shares (including any fractional shares) with an equivalent net asset value as such Class T Share. The Company cannot predict when this will occur.No distribution and stockholder servicing fees are paid to CCO Capital or other participating broker-dealers with respect to shares sold pursuant to the DRIP.

Advisory fees and expenses

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company pays CCI III Management a monthly advisory fee based upon the Company’s monthly average asset value, which is equal to the following amounts: (i) an annualized rate of 0.75% paid on the Company’s average asset value that is between $0 and $2.0 billion; (ii) an annualized rate of 0.70% paid on the Company’s average asset value that is between $2.0 billion and $4.0 billion; and (iii) an annualized rate of 0.65% paid on the Company’s average asset value that is over $4.0 billion. During the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2019, the Company’s operating expenses (including advisory fees) exceeded the expense limit of the greater of 2.0% of the average invested assets or 25.0% of net income (see operating expenses below) and were not recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company because such amounts were not contractually payable by the Company. As of September 30, 2019, $864,000 in advisory fees exceeded such expense limit. Additionally, CCI III Management waived its right to receive a monthly advisory fee for the full year ending December 31, 2019, the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020, and for the full year ending December 31, 2020. As such, during thethree and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020, the advisor waived advisory fees of $91,000 and $269,000, respectively, which were not recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company because such amounts were not contractually payable by the Company.

The Company reimburses CCI III Management or its affiliates for the operating expenses they paid or incurred in connection with advisory and administrative services provided to the Company, subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse CCI III Management or its affiliates for any amount by which the operating expenses (including the advisory fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceed the greater of (i) 2.0% of average invested assets, or (ii) 25.0% of net income, excluding any additions to reserves for depreciation or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period. The Company will not reimburse CCI III Management or its affiliates for compensation paid to the Company’s executive officers or employees of CCI III Management in connection with the servicesfor which CCI III Management or its affiliates receive an acquisition fee, financing coordination fee or disposition fee. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,$61,000and$289,000, respectively, of operating expense reimbursements were deferred by the advisor, which were not recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company because such amounts were not contractually payable by the Company. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,$109,000and$457,000, respectively, of operating expense reimbursements were deferred by the advisor, which were not recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company because such amounts were not contractually payable by the Company. However, these amounts may become payable if the advisor recoups expense reimbursements as capacity becomes available under the greater of 2.0% of average invested assets or 25.0% of net income limitations through reimbursements in a subsequent period.

Financing coordination fees

If CCI III Management provides services in connection with the origination, assumption or refinancing of any debt to acquire properties or to make other permitted investments, the Company will pay CCI III Management a financing coordination fee equal to 1.0% of the amount available and/or outstanding under such financing. However, CCI III Management will not be entitled to a financing coordination fee on any debt where CCI III Management previously received a fee unless (i) the maturity date of the refinanced debt was scheduled to occur less than one year after the date of the refinancing and the new loan has a term of at least five years or (ii) the new loan is approved by a majority of the independent directors; and provided, further, that no financing coordination fee will be paid in connection with loans advanced by an affiliate of CCI III Management.

In addition, if CCI III Management or its affiliates provides a substantial amount of services (as determined by a majority of the Company’s independent directors) in connection with the sale of one or more assets other than properties, the Company may separately compensate CCI III Management or its affiliates at such rates and in such amounts as the Board, including a majority of the independent directors, and CCI III Management agree upon, not to exceed an amount equal to 1.0% of the contract price of the assets sold. During the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, nodisposition fees were incurred for any such services provided by CCI IIIManagementor its affiliates.

Leases [Abstract]

LEASES

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.

As of September 30, 2020, the leases had a weighted-average remaining term of 7.9 years. Certain leases include provisions to extend the lease agreements, options for early termination after paying a specified penalty, rights of first refusal to purchase the property at competitive market rates, and other negotiated terms and conditions. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

As of September 30, 2020, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s real estate assets under non-cancelable operating leases, assuming no exercise of renewal options for the succeeding five fiscal years and thereafter, was as follows:

	Future Minimum Rental Income
Remainder of 2020	$	925,809
2021	3,756,969

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, 2019, and related notes thereto, set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. 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.

Principles of Consolidation

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.

Use of Estimates

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 and Recoverability Of Real Estate Assets

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; or other circumstances. 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. No impairment indicators were identified and no impairment losses were recorded during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 or 2019. The Company’s impairment assessment as of September 30, 2020 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 impairment charges in the future. The Company cannot provide any assurance that material impairment charges with respect to the Company’s real estate assets will not occur during 2020 or in future periods, particularly in light of the negative economic impacts caused by the current novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. If the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic cause economic and market conditions to continue to deteriorate or if the Company’s expected holding periods for assets change, subsequent tests for impairment could result in additional impairment charges in the future. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has not identified any impairments resulting from COVID-19 related impacts, including as a result of tenant requests for rent relief. The Company generally intends to hold its assets for the long-term; therefore, a temporary change in cash flows due to COVID-19 related impacts alone would not be an impairment indicator. However, the Company has yet to see the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and the extent to which it may impact the Company’s tenants in the future. Indications of a tenant’s inability to continue as a going concern, changes in the Company’s view or strategy relative to a tenant’s business or industry as a result of the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, or changes in the Company’s long-term hold strategies, could be indicative of an impairment indicator. Accordingly, the Company will continue to monitor circumstances and events in future periods to determine whether the carrying value of the Company’s real estate assets are recoverable.

Assets Held for Sale

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.

Leases

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.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

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.

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.

Earnings (Loss) and Distributions Per Share

Earnings (Loss) and Distributions Per Share

The Company has two classes of common stock. Accordingly, the Company utilizes the two-class method to determine its earnings per share, which can result in different earnings per share for each of the classes. Under the two-class method, earnings per share of each class of common stock are computed by dividing the sum of the distributed earnings to common stockholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares for each class of common stock for the respective period. The distributed earnings to Class T Share common stockholders represents distributions declared less the distribution and stockholder servicing fees paid with respect to Class T Shares sold in the primary portion of the Offering. Diluted income per share, when applicable, considers the effect of any potentially dilutive share equivalents, of which the Company had none for each of the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 or 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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 June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses(Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), 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 are intended to 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) (“ASC 842”). ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2018-19 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, and has concluded that there is no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). This ASU amends and removes several disclosure requirements including the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 also modifies some disclosure requirements and requires additional disclosures for changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and requires the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The provisions of ASU 2018-13 are effective January 1, 2020 using a prospective transition method for amendments effecting changes in unrealized gains and losses, significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and narrative description on uncertainty of measurements. The remaining provisions of ASU 2018-13 are to be applied retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, and has concluded that there is no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities (“ASU 2018-17”). The guidance changes the guidance for determining whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest. Under the new ASU, indirect interests held through related parties under common control will now be considered on a proportional basis when determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. Such indirect interests were previously treated the same as direct interests. ASU 2018-17 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2018-17 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, and has concluded that there is no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2020, the FASB issued a question and answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the business disruptions and challenges severely affecting the global economy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, many lessors may be required to provide rent deferrals and other lease concessions to lessees. While the lease modification guidance in ASC 842 addresses routine changes to lease terms resulting from negotiations between the lessee and the lessor, this guidance did not contemplate concessions being so rapidly executed to address the sudden liquidity constraints of some lessees arising from COVID-19 related impacts. Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have 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 under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A allows the Company, if certain criteria have been met, to bypass the lease by lease analysis, and instead elect to either apply the lease modification accounting framework or not, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances. The future impact of the Lease Modification Q&A is dependent upon the extent of lease concessions granted to tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in future periods and the elections made by the Company at the time of entering into such concessions. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has collected 100% of rental payments originally contracted for from the Company’s two tenants during the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020.

Fair Value Measurements

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.
