Basis of Presentation	'
	Note 1. Basis of Presentation:
	The accompanying interim financial statements of PMC Commercial Trust (“PMC Commercial” or together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, “we,” “us” or “our”) have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of future financial results. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and (2) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our most sensitive estimates involve the valuation of our real estate owned and determination of loan loss reserves.

Merger Agreement	'
	Note 3. Merger Agreement:
	On July 8, 2013, PMC Commercial entered into a merger agreement with CIM Urban REIT, LLC (“CIM Urban REIT”) and subsidiaries of the respective parties. CIM Urban REIT is a private commercial REIT with Class A commercial real estate assets located in premier urban markets throughout the United States. The merger and other transactions were unanimously approved by both PMC Commercial’s Board of Trust Managers (the “Board”) and CIM Urban REIT’s Director.
	Pursuant to the merger agreement, CIM Urban REIT and its affiliates will receive approximately 22.0 million newly-issued PMC Commercial common shares of beneficial interest and approximately 65.0 million newly-issued PMC Commercial preferred shares. Each preferred share will be convertible into seven common shares of beneficial interest, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of approximately 477.2 million common shares of beneficial interest in the merger and other transactions after the conversion. This will represent approximately 97.8% of PMC Commercial’s outstanding shares.
	All PMC Commercial common shares of beneficial interest that are outstanding immediately prior to the transactions will remain outstanding following the transactions. In addition, PMC Commercial shareholders of record at the close of the business day prior to the closing of the transactions will receive a special cash dividend of $5.50 per common share of beneficial interest, to be paid shortly after closing.
	Based on an arrangement with CIM Urban REIT, legal and due diligence expenses related to the potential merger incurred during a certain period of time were reimbursable. We incurred $542,000 of costs which were reimbursed by CIM Urban REIT.
	The merger and other transactions are contractually required to be completed no later than December 31, 2013. The transactions are subject to a number of conditions that the parties are working to satisfy. However, no assurance can be given that the transactions will be completed by the end of the year.

	Commercial mortgage loans
	Represents the loans held by the parent company, PMC Commercial Trust.
	SBIC commercial mortgage loans
	Represents loans of our licensed Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) subsidiaries.
	SBA 7(a) loans, subject to secured borrowings
	Represents the government guaranteed portion of loans which were sold with the proceeds received from the sale reflected as secured borrowings – government guaranteed loans (a liability on our consolidated balance sheet). There is no credit risk associated with these loans since the SBA has guaranteed payment of the principal; therefore, no loan loss reserves are recorded on the $35.2 million and $37.9 million, respectively of government guaranteed portions of these SBA 7(a) loans included in loans receivable at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
	SBA 7(a) loans
	Represents the non-government guaranteed retained portion of loans originated under the SBA 7(a) program and the government guaranteed portion of loans that have not yet been fully funded or sold. The balance is net of retained loan discounts of $2.6 million and $2.1 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
	Concentration Risks
	We have certain concentrations of investments. Substantially all of our revenue is generated from loans collateralized by hospitality properties. At both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our loans were 94% concentrated in the hospitality industry. Any economic factors that negatively impact the hospitality industry, including recessions, depressed commercial real estate markets, travel restrictions, gasoline prices, bankruptcies or other political or geopolitical events, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
	At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 12% and 15%, respectively, of our loans were collateralized by properties in Texas. In addition, at September 30, 2013, 10% of our loans were collateralized by properties in Virginia. No other state had a concentration of 10% or greater of our loans receivable at September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012. A decline in economic conditions in any state in which we have a concentration of investments could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
	We have not loaned more than 10% of our assets to any single borrower; however, we have an affiliated group of obligors representing approximately 5% of our loans receivable at both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Any decline in the financial status of this group could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

	Loan Loss Reserves
	Management closely monitors our loans which require evaluation for loan loss reserves based on specific identification metrics which are classified into three categories: Doubtful, Substandard and Other Assets Especially Mentioned (“OAEM”) (together “Specific Identification Loans”). Loans classified as Doubtful are generally loans which are not complying with their contractual terms, the collection of the balance of the principal is considered impaired and on which the fair value of the collateral is less than the remaining unamortized principal balance. These loans are typically placed on non-accrual status and are generally in the foreclosure process. Loans classified as Substandard are generally those loans that are either not complying or had previously not complied with their contractual terms and have other credit weaknesses which may make payment default or principal exposure likely but not yet certain. Loans classified as OAEM are generally loans for which the credit quality of the borrowers has temporarily deteriorated. Typically the borrowers are current on their payments; however, they may be delinquent on their property taxes, insurance, or franchise fees or may be under agreements which provide for interest only payments during a short period of time.
	Management has classified our Loans Receivable Subject to Credit Risk as follows (balances represent our investment in the loans prior to loan loss reserves and deferred capitalized costs):

Our provision for loan losses (excluding reductions of loan losses and recoveries) as a percentage of our weighted average outstanding Loans Receivable Subject to Credit Risk was 0.47% and 0.60% during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. To the extent one or several of our borrowers experience significant operating difficulties and we are forced to liquidate the collateral underlying the loan, future losses may be substantial.

-1	At December 31, 2012, the SBA 7(a) loan recorded investment and unpaid principal balance include the government guaranteed portion of $634,000 on which we have no credit loss exposure and which, during 2013, was reclassified from secured borrowings to loans receivable, net, since it was repurchased by the SBA from the secondary market.
Our troubled debt restructurings include loans with a recorded investment at September 30, 2013 of $3.9 million which were modified voluntarily under agreements to allow extended interest only periods instead of the principal and interest payments required by the notes. In addition, loans with a recorded investment at September 30, 2013 of $2.8 million were modified involuntarily through Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. The bankruptcy plans were confirmed with modified terms including extended interest only and amortization periods. Of our troubled debt restructurings, loans with a recorded investment of $5.2 million are no longer complying with their modified terms, including lack of required payments at September 30, 2013. A payment default is defined as a payment that becomes at least 30 days past due after the date the loan was restructured and/or non-payment or lack of timely payment of other loan related obligations such as real estate taxes.

	We issued an aggregate of 5,000 shares to the Board of Trust Managers on June 8, 2012 at the then current market price of the shares of $7.80. These shares vested immediately upon issuance. We recorded compensation expense of $39,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 related to these shares.
	We issued an aggregate of 6,666 shares to our executive officers on March 14, 2013 at the then current market price of the shares of $7.22 (the closing price on March 13, 2013). We issued an aggregate of 10,000 shares to our executive officers on March 12, 2012 at the then current market price of the shares of $7.27 (the closing price on March 9, 2012). The restricted shares vest based on two years of continuous service with one-third of the shares vesting immediately upon issuance of the shares and one-third vesting at the end of each of the next two years. Restricted share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the plan). Compensation expense related to the restricted shares is being recognized over the vesting periods. We recorded compensation expense of $8,000 and $12,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $41,000 and $68,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to restricted shares.

We sold one of these properties in July 2013 for $1,175,000, received cash proceeds of $200,000 and financed the remainder. No gain or loss was recorded on the transaction. We sold another of these properties in September 2013 for cash proceeds of $965,000 and recorded a loss of $15,000.
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we foreclosed on and sold the underlying collateral (limited service hospitality properties) of two loans with a combined estimated fair value at foreclosure of $1,481,000. One property was sold for $1,375,000 including cash proceeds of $550,000 and financing of $825,000. The other property was sold solely for cash proceeds. No gain or loss was recorded on these sales. In addition, we sold a property during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 with an estimated fair value of $76,000 and recorded a loss of $19,000.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share ("EPS")	'
	Note 10. Earnings (Loss) Per Share (“EPS”):
	The computations of basic EPS are based on our weighted average shares outstanding. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the weighted average shares outstanding were increased by 10,000 and 2,000 shares, respectively, to reflect the dilutive effect of share options. No shares were added to the weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of calculating diluted EPS during the three months ended September 30, 2012 as options were anti-dilutive. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the weighted average shares outstanding were increased by 26,000 shares to reflect the dilutive effect of share options.
	Not included in the computation of diluted EPS were outstanding options to purchase 113,000 common shares during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 69,000 common shares during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the shares.

	During 2013, due primarily to payment of severance expenses and realized losses on our foreclosure properties, we anticipate a taxable loss. Thus, all or a portion of our dividends will be deemed returns of capital.
	Pursuant to the merger agreement, we are limited to quarterly dividends of $0.125 per share until the merger is completed or the merger agreement is otherwise terminated.
	We have a covenant within our revolving credit facility that requires us to maintain a minimum net worth of $132 million which may limit our ability to pay out returns of capital as dividends. This restriction has not historically limited the amount of dividends we have paid and management does not believe that it will restrict future dividend payments.

Fair Value Measurements	'
	Note 13. Fair Value Measurements:
	For impaired loans measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the following table provides the estimated fair value of the related individual assets. We used Level 3 inputs to determine the estimated fair value of our impaired loans as follows:
			September 30,		December 31,
			2013		2012
			(In thousands)
	Impaired loans (1)		$	7,732	$	11,637
	-1	Represents carrying value determined based on management’s assessment of the estimated fair value of the collateral based on numerous factors including operating statistics to the extent available, appraised value of the collateral, tax assessed value and market environment.
	Our retained interests in transferred assets (“Retained Interests”) are recorded at estimated fair value measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. In determining the estimated fair value of our Retained Interests, we use a present value technique with assumptions of prepayment tendencies and a current discount rate. The prepayment rate used was 15% at both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The discount rates used were 12.4% at September 30, 2013 and 11.7% at December 31, 2012. No credit losses are assumed for our Retained Interests since the SBA has guaranteed the principal on these loans. The estimated fair value of our Retained Interests at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $699,000 and $773,000, respectively.
	For real estate owned, our carrying value approximates the estimated fair value at the time of foreclosure and the lower of cost or fair value thereafter. We use Level 3 inputs to determine the estimated fair value of our real estate owned. The carrying value of our real estate owned is established at the time of foreclosure based upon management’s assessment of its fair value based on numerous factors including operating statistics to the extent available, the appraised value, tax assessed value and market environment. The estimated fair value of our real estate owned at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $56,000 and $739,000, respectively.
	The estimated fair values of those financial instruments which are not recorded at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

	Junior subordinated notes			27,070		25,184		27,070		22,592		3
	We used Level 3 inputs to determine the estimated fair value of our financial instruments. In general, estimates of fair value differ from the carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities primarily as a result of the effects of discounting future cash flows. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data and develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented may not be indicative of the amounts we could realize in a current market exchange.
	Loans Receivable Subject to Credit Risk: Our loans receivable are recorded at cost and adjusted by net loan origination fees and discounts. In order to determine the estimated fair value of our loans receivable, we use a present value technique for the anticipated future cash flows using certain assumptions including a discount rate based on current market interest rates, prepayment tendencies and potential loan losses. Significant increases (decreases) in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. In the absence of a readily ascertainable market value, the estimated value of our loans receivable will differ from the values that would be placed on the portfolio if a ready market for the loans receivable existed.
	SBA 7(a) loans receivable, subject to secured borrowings: Represents the government guaranteed portion of loans which were sold with the proceeds received from the sale reflected as secured borrowings – government guaranteed loans (a liability on our consolidated balance sheet). There is no credit risk associated with these loans since the SBA has guaranteed payment of the principal. In order to determine the estimated fair value of our loans receivable, we use a present value technique for the anticipated future cash flows using certain assumptions including a discount rate based on current market interest rates taking into consideration the lack of credit risk and prepayment tendencies.
	SBIC debentures payable and junior subordinated notes: The estimated fair value is based on a present value calculation based on management’s estimate of prices of the same or similar instruments after considering market risks, current interest rates, and remaining maturities.
	Secured borrowings – government guaranteed loans: The estimated fair value approximates cost as the interest rates on these secured borrowings approximates current market interest rates. Includes the unamortized deferred cash premiums collected on the sale of the government guaranteed portions of the loans.
	Revolving credit facility: The carrying amount is a reasonable estimation of fair value as the interest rate on this instrument is variable and is at a current market interest rate.

	Loan Commitments
	Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer provided the terms established in the contract are met. Our outstanding loan commitments and approvals to fund loans were $28.6 million at September 30, 2013, of which $18.5 million were for prime-based loans to be originated by our SBA 7(a) subsidiary, the government guaranteed portion of which is intended to be sold. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates. Since some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Under certain circumstances, as defined within the agreements, the agreements provide for (1) severance compensation or change in control payments to the executive officer in an amount equal to 2.99 times the average of the last three years annual compensation paid to the executive officer and (2) death and disability payments in an amount equal to two times and one time, respectively, the annual salary paid to the executive officer.
	Litigation
	REIT Redux, L.P. et al v. PMC Commercial Trust, et al. On October 9, 2013, a putative class action and derivative lawsuit was filed in the Dallas County Court at Law No. 5 in Dallas County, Texas against and purportedly on behalf of PMC Commercial. The complaint names as defendants PMC Commercial, members of the Board and executive officers of PMC Commercial and CIM Urban REIT. The plaintiffs assert the action as a direct action, as well as a derivative action and allege, among other things, that the Board breached the PMC Commercial Declaration of Trust and conspired to deprive the plaintiffs and the class of their right to vote to approve or decline the merger, to approve or decline of the sale of PMC Commercial and to approve or decline the authorization of the PMC Commercial common shares necessary to support the conversion rights of the PMC Commercial preferred shares to be issued pursuant to the merger agreement. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the Board breached its fiduciary duties by approving and recommending the transactions to the shareholders without due regard for the fairness of the transaction, failing to maximize value for the shareholders, engaging in bad faith and self-dealing by preferring transactions that further enriched the trust managers at the expense of the shareholders, and conspiring to deprive the shareholders of their voting power and prerogatives. The complaint alleges that CIM Urban REIT aided, abetted and induced those breaches of fiduciary duty. The complaint further alleges that the causes of action were aggravated by gross negligence and intentional and malicious wrongdoing. The complaint seeks an order enjoining a vote on the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, an order certifying the matter as a class action for damages, damages for lost shareholder value, exemplary damages, attorney’s fees and costs, appointment of a receiver, if justice so demands, in order to preserve and maximize shareholder value, and all other such relief as the court may find reasonable and necessary to which plaintiffs may be entitled. We have denied all of the allegations in the complaint and intend to vigorously defend against these allegations. However, no assurance can be given as to the outcome of this lawsuit.
	In the normal course of business we are periodically party to certain legal actions and proceedings involving matters that are generally incidental to our business (i.e., collection of loans receivable). In management’s opinion, the resolution of these legal actions and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
	Merger Related
	Up to approximately $3.4 million of transaction fees related to the potential merger are contingent upon consummation of the merger.
	Under certain circumstances, if the potential merger does not occur, we may be required to pay CIM Urban REIT a termination fee equal to $4.0 million plus reimburse CIM Urban REIT for certain of its out-of-pocket expenses up to $700,000 (excluding $542,000 of expenses reimbursed by CIM Urban REIT).
	In connection with the potential merger, our two executive officers agreed to amend their employment agreements effective upon consummation of the merger. These amended employment agreements would replace their existing employment agreements, provide for various payments and equity awards and adjusts the calculation for severance benefits.
	SBA Related
	If the SBA establishes that a loss on an SBA guaranteed loan is attributable to significant technical deficiencies in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded or serviced by our SBLC, the SBA may seek recovery of the principal loss related to the deficiency from us. With respect to the guaranteed portion of SBA loans that have been sold, the SBA will first honor its guarantee and then seek compensation from us in the event that a loss is deemed to be attributable to technical deficiencies. Based on historical experience, we do not expect that this contingency is probable to be asserted. However, if asserted, it could be material to the financial statements.
	In certain instances, including liquidation or charge-off of an SBA guaranteed loan, we typically have a receivable for the SBA’s guaranteed portion of legal fees, operating expenses, property taxes paid, etc. related to the loan or the collateral (upon foreclosure). While we believe expenses incurred were justified and necessary for the care and preservation of the collateral and within the established rules of the SBA, there can be no assurance that the SBA will reimburse us. In addition, reimbursement from the SBA is a time consuming and lengthy process and the SBA may seek compensation from us related to reimbursement of expenses which it does not believe were necessary for the care and preservation of the loan or its collateral. Although the SBA has never declined to reimburse us for its portion of material expenses, no assurance can be given that the SBA would not do so in the future. We have evaluated our SBA receivables and believe that our financial statements fairly reflect these receivables at their appropriate net realizable value.
