        originations of $1.4 billion
Joseph R. Tomkinson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc., commented, "We believe that the financial strength of our core operating businesses has never been better. Because of the solid financial footing and synergies that we have created within our core operating businesses, we expect to realize our goal of generating consistent and reliable earnings for distribution to our shareholders during changing business climates. In regards to the remainder of 2002, we expect to exceed our original earnings target of $1.55 to $1.65 per share and revise our 2002 earnings estimate to $1.75 to $1.85 per share and year-end total assets to exceed $6.0 billion. We also expect to pay a fourth quarter dividend at least equal to the dividend paid for the third quarter which will result in total dividend declarations of at least $1.73 per share for the year."

Mr. Tomkinson further commented, "A further decrease in mortgage rates during the quarter resulted in another refinancing wave and contributed to record mortgage acquisitions and originations. Although in the near term, we believe that mortgage demand for both fixed and adjustable rate mortgages will remain high, we are mindful that this may not always be the case. Therefore, we believe that we must take advantage of this market opportunity and continue the growth of our balance sheet. By doing this, we believe that we can generate more consistent revenue from our mortgage loan investment portfolio as opposed to revenue generated from gain on sale of loans which are more susceptible to fluctuations in mortgage activity.

"To sustain our strategy of growing the balance sheet, it has become apparent that we need to raise capital more quickly through the block sale of common shares as opposed to raising capital through the sale of common shares via our Sales Agency Agreement. Therefore, we completed the sale of 2.5 million common shares in August at a public offering price of $11.25, which was accretive to earnings per share as we were able to quickly deploy cash proceeds into the acquisition of mortgage loans. Some of the cash proceeds from the stock offering were immediately used to acquire fixed rate mortgages, which were subsequently securitized in our first fixed rate CMO since 1998. The fixed rate CMO utilizes matched fixed rate borrowings that provides a locked-in interest spread over the life of the mortgage loans which, we believe, will have a longer life than adjustable rate assets. We expect to continue to access the capital markets through our Sales Agency Agreement or periodically issue shares from our shelf registration as the market, economics and sound business practice dictates."

Mr. Tomkinson continued to say, "In addition to issuing common shares to finance our growth, we added $650.0 million of new warehouse facilities this year. The new warehouse facilities provide us with a higher aggregate credit limit to fund the acquisition and origination of mortgage loans at terms comparable to those we have received in the past and the flexibility of having financial relationships with a larger cross-section of financial institutions. However, we continue to securitize or sell mortgage loans every 30 to 45 days to limit our exposure to possible margin calls on our warehouse facilities.

"We continue to focus on effectively managing the various operational and economic risks associated with the our business. We believe that we can help to mitigate prepayment risk through the acquisition and origination of mortgage loans with prepayment penalty features. This is evident as the prepayment rate of our CMO portfolio declined to 24% CPR during the third quarter as refinancing activity was at an all-time high. We believe that we mitigate loan losses and a potential increase in foreclosure rates by maintaining an adequate allowance for loan loss, by acquiring mortgage loans with favorable credit profiles and by acquiring mortgage loans with conservative loan-to-value ratios with mortgage insurance enhancements, which reduces our effective loan-to-value ratio. We believe that we mitigate liquidity and margin call risk by frequently securitizing or selling our mortgage loans and we have created greater financing flexibility by adding additional warehouse lines. We further believe that we effectively manage interest rate risk by purchasing interest rate hedging instruments to mitigate future interest rate increases.

"We believe it is extremely important, especially during the current economic environment which has contributed to a decline in the stock market over the last year, to remember that the value of our Company and our affiliates and subsidiaries is not reflected in our historical book value and therefore we believe does not reflect the true market value of our mortgage assets and operating businesses. Our warehouse lending operations continues to grow both in terms of advances outstanding and earnings and the mortgage operations is one of the leading Alt-A mortgage lenders in the country. As the Alt-A market continues to grow and consumers seek alternatives to the traditional mortgage products offered by government sponsored agencies, we expect the mortgage operations to increase its market share within this sector by offering unique mortgage products, superior customer service and implementation of our second generation automated underwriting system, called IDASLg2 which will further enhance our customers and our own underwriting and loan approval capabilities."

As of September 30, 2002, book value per outstanding common share was $6.40 as compared to $6.44 per outstanding common share as of June 30, 2002. Book value decreased during the third quarter primarily due to a $14.9 million increase in other comprehensive loss, which offset the incremental increase in book value from the issuance of new shares. The increase in other comprehensive loss was the result of fair market adjustments on derivative instruments, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Company is required to mark-to-market its derivative instruments through other comprehensive income but is not allowed to mark-to-market its long-term mortgage loan investment portfolio. Excluding the effect of SFAS 133, pro forma book value per outstanding common share as of September 30, 2002 increased to $7.58 as compared to $7.34 per outstanding common share as of June 30, 2002.

               Mortgage Loan Investment Portfolio Increased 26%

     Long-Term Investment Operations Acquired $1.1 Billion of Adjustable
                and Fixed Rate Non-Conforming Alt-A Mortgages
            from the Mortgage Operations During the Third Quarter
The mortgage loan investment portfolio increased 26% to $4.3 billion at quarter-end as compared to $3.4 billion as of June 30, 2002 as the long-term investment operations acquired $1.1 billion of primarily adjustable and fixed rate non-conforming Alt-A mortgages from the mortgage operations. Total acquisitions during the third quarter had a weighted average credit score of 686 and a weighted average coupon of 6.66%. Of total non-conforming Alt-A acquisitions during the third quarter, 82% were adjustable rate, 57% were six-month LIBOR indexed ARMs, 62% were purchase money and 84% had prepayment penalty features. The Company generally considers prime mortgage loans, or "A" credit quality loans, to have a credit score of 640 or better. As a comparison, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac generally purchase loans with credit scores greater than 620.

CMOs issued during the third quarter consisted of one fixed rate CMO for $199.0 million with a weighted average fixed borrowing cost of 4.98% and one variable rate CMO for $497.5 million with a weighted average adjustable borrowing cost of one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 49 basis points. The weighted average mortgage rate of fixed rate mortgages securing the fixed rate CMO was 8.15% while the weighted average mortgage rate of adjustable rate mortgages securing the adjustable rate CMO was 6.46%.

At quarter-end 48% of mortgage loans in the long-term investment portfolio were six-month LIBOR indexed ARMs, 42% were six-month LIBOR indexed hybrids with an average interest rate adjustment period of approximately 14 months and 71% had active prepayment penalties with an average remaining prepayment expiration period of approximately 22 months. Mortgage loans in the long-term investment portfolio have an original weighted average credit score of 680 and a weighted average coupon of 6.84% as of quarter-end.

At quarter-end total non-performing assets were $105.6 million, or 1.96% of total assets, as compared to $69.3 million, or 2.43% of total assets, as of December 31, 2001. Mortgage loans that were 60 or more days delinquent, including foreclosures and delinquent bankruptcies, were 2.92% of the long-term mortgage investment portfolio at quarter-end as compared to 3.84% as of December 31, 2001.

Allowance for loan losses increased 85% to $21.6 million at quarter-end as compared to $11.7 million as of December 31, 2001. Allowance for loan losses expressed as a percentage of loans receivable, which includes CMO collateral, mortgage loans held-for-investment and finance receivables, was 0.41% at quarter-end as compared to 0.43% as of December 31, 2001. During the third quarter provision for loan losses was $5.4 million while actual loan charge-offs, net of recoveries, were $731,000 as compared to $4.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, during the prior quarter.

The Company makes a monthly provision for estimated loan losses on its long-term investment portfolio as an increase to allowance for loan losses. The provision for estimated loan losses is primarily based on a migration analysis based on historical loss statistics, including cumulative loss percentages and loss severity, of similar loans in the Company's long-term investment portfolio. The loss percentage is used to determine the estimated inherent losses in the investment portfolio. Provision for loan losses is also based on management's judgment of net loss potential, including specific allowances for known impaired loans, changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, the value of the collateral and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay.

     Average Warehouse Lending Activity with Non-Affiliates Increased 39%
Gretchen Verdugo, Executive Vice President of Impac Warehouse Lending Group, Inc., commented, "Our proprietary iWIN ("Impac Warehouse Intelligence Network") technology has allowed us to increase our quarterly average outstanding balance to non-affiliates by 39% during the third quarter to nearly $350.0 million. Our success is the result of our efficient use of technology, experienced and customer service driven warehouse lending professionals and leveraging relationships with the mortgage operations' customers while maintaining an excellent credit risk profile."

Average outstanding finance receivables to non-affiliates increased 39% to $347.7 million during the third quarter as compared to $249.4 million during the prior quarter. At quarter-end the warehouse lending operations had 60 approved warehouse lines available to non-affiliated customers totaling $564.0 million as compared to 57 and $447.0 million as of December 31, 2001, respectively.

During the third quarter the warehouse lending operations contributed net earnings of $5.6 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share as compared to $3.8 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share, during the prior quarter. Net earnings for the third quarter represented a 56% return on average equity as compared to a 33% return on average equity during the prior quarter.

               Loan Acquisitions and Originations Increased 21%

              Total Loan Acquisitions and Originations Increased
                   to $1.7 Billion During the Third Quarter
Regarding the results of the mortgage operations, William S. Ashmore, President and Chief Operating Officer, remarked, "A decline in mortgage rates during the third quarter contributed to record acquisitions and originations by the mortgage operations. Acquisitions and originations increased 21% over the prior quarter and rose 95% year-to-date over the same period last year. We continue to acquire and originate mortgage loans that fit within our criteria which are primarily non-conforming Alt-A mortgages with good credit profiles with insurance enhancements, when required, and prepayment penalty features. We believe this mortgage profile provides favorable execution upon the sale or securitization of our mortgage loans. We are also extremely pleased with the success of our interest-only mortgage products as acquisitions and originations during the third quarter were approximately $244.0 million as compared to approximately $36.0 million during the prior quarter when our interest-only programs were first introduced.

"We continue to rely primarily on purchase money transactions for the bulk of our mortgage business. Because of this and combined with expanding our reach in the non-conforming Alt-A mortgage market, providing our customers with integrated financial services and taking advantage of our increasing financial leverage, we believe that we can at least maintain our current production levels if nationwide mortgage refinance activity declines. Because we realize that current housing demand and mortgage refinance activity may not be sustained over the long-term and may eventually slow down, we believe it is important to acquire and originate mortgages that can be retained by the long-term investment operations which will maximize IMH's earnings and thereby increase long-term shareholder value. Therefore, during the third quarter the mortgage operations sold $200.0 million of fixed rate loans to the long-term investment operations, which were subsequently securitized as a CMO.

"As a result of selling $200.0 million of fixed rate loans to the long-term investment operations, the mortgage operations' earnings decreased from the prior quarter as long-term earnings were exchanged for one time gain on sale of loans. In the future, we expect to sell as much as 50% of our fixed rate mortgage acquisitions and originations to non-affiliated investors and 50% to the long-term investment operations."

                     Third Quarter Results of Operations
Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. Net earnings increased over second quarter of 2002 results primarily as net interest income rose. Net interest income increased to $23.1 million during the third quarter as total average mortgage assets increased to $4.6 billion as compared to net interest income of $17.6 million and total average mortgage assets of $3.8 billion during the prior quarter. Average mortgage assets increased during the third quarter as $1.1 billion of mortgage loans were acquired for long-term investment. Net interest margins on mortgage assets were 1.92% for the third quarter as compared to net interest margins of 1.85% for the prior quarter. Net interest margins rose during the third quarter as CMO borrowings, which are tied to short-term interest rates, declined. Provision for loan losses during the third quarter were $5.4 million as compared to $4.2 million during the prior quarter as loan acquisitions and advances on warehouse lines, or finance receivables, increased. Non-interest income decreased as equity in net earnings of IFC declined to $2.8 million during the third quarter as compared to $5.5 million during the prior quarter. The decrease in net earnings of IFC was primarily due to a decrease of revenue from gain on sale of loans and a before tax increase of $929,000 in provision for loan repurchases. Non-interest expense increased 15% to $2.3 million during the third quarter as compared to $2.0 million during the prior quarter.

Impac Funding Corporation. Net earnings decreased over second quarter of 2002 results primarily as gain on sale of loans declined. Gain on sale of loans declined to $13.7 million on loan sales of $1.46 billion during the third quarter as compared to gain on sale of loans of $19.6 million on loan sales of $1.53 billion during the prior quarter. Gain on loan sales were lower during the third quarter as $200.0 million of fixed rate loans, which in the past have typically been sold to non-affiliated investors as REMICs or whole loan sales, were acquired and retained by the long-term investment operations. Excluding a third quarter mark-to-market gain on derivative instruments of $2.9 million, total non-interest expense increased to $13.5 million during the third quarter as compared to $12.0 million during the prior quarter. The increase in total non-interest expense during the third quarter was primarily due to a $929,000 increase in provision for loan repurchases and an increase in staff costs to meet greater loan acquisition and origination volumes.
