PART II - RULES 12B-25(B) AND (C)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense
and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should
be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

         (a)      The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this
                  form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or
                  expense
[X]      (b)      The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition
                  report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K or Form NSAR, or
                  portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth
                  calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject
                  quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q, or portion
                  thereof will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day
                  following the prescribed due date; and
         (c)      The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule
                  12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III - NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, or the
transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed
time period.

Impac Funding Corporation is not able to file on behalf of the registrant on or
before March 31, 2003 the annual report on Form 10-K of the registrant without
unreasonable effort or expense.




Despite the best efforts of Impac, Impac was not able to obtain the
documentation from sub-servicers necessary to conduct the annual review required
by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement until shortly before the filing date
prescribed by the Commission for the annual report. Completion of the annual
review is necessary to identify any deficiencies which must be disclosed in the
Form 10-K annual report and for an Impac officer to make the required
corresponding certification. Therefore, Impac cannot complete the annual review
and prepare the annual report in the short amount of time available without
unreasonable effort or expense. Impac intends to file on behalf of the
registrant on or before April 15, 2003 a complete annual report on Form 10-K.
