Quarter 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday, January 28, 2002

Newport Beach, California - Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. (AMEX: IMH - "IMH" or
the "Company") a real estate investment trust ("REIT") that primarily invests in
non-conforming Alt-A mortgages, reports fourth quarter net earnings of $15.0
million, or $0.48 per diluted share, as compared to $3.7 million, or $0.14 per
diluted share, for the same period in 2000. Net earnings increased to $33.2
million, or $1.19 per diluted share, for 2001 as compared to a loss of $54.2
million, or $(2.70) per diluted share, for 2000. The Company also reports fourth
quarter estimated taxable earnings of $15.6 million, or $0.50 per diluted share,
and, on an annual basis, estimated taxable earnings of $46.4 million, or $1.66
per diluted share. Refer to the included financial statements for the
calculation of estimated taxable earnings and a reconciliation of estimated
taxable earnings to GAAP earnings.

As a result of higher than anticipated estimated taxable earnings during the
fourth quarter of 2001, the Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend
of $0.37 per share and a special cash dividend of $0.07 per share. The regular
and special dividend of $0.44 per share was paid on January 9, 2002 to
stockholders of record on January 2, 2002. The special dividend was the result
of a non-recurring recovery of previously charged-off assets that increased the
Company's overall taxable income during the fourth quarter.

Joseph R. Tomkinson, Chairman and CEO of Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc.,
commented, "I am pleased to report that 2001 has been an overwhelming success
for the Company. The Company's profitability during this year reflects our
continuing efforts to focus on building our core operating businesses and
customer relationships. This year's strong performance of our core operating
businesses allowed us to restructure and grow our balance sheet, resume the
regular payment of cash dividends and access the capital markets to raise
additional equity."

Mr. Tomkinson, went on to say, "our operating results during the fourth quarter
once again exceeded operating results of the prior quarter. We have now reported
positive core operating earnings each quarter over the last three-year period.
Since the end of last year, we have grown the balance sheet by $1.0 billion to
an all-time high of $2.9 billion with high quality non-conforming Alt-A mortgage
loan investments through the efficient use of our capital.


During 2001, all of our outstanding preferred stock converted to common stock,
we retired our senior subordinated debt over two years before maturity, we
completed a record number and dollar volume of mortgage securitizations, we
resumed the regular payment of common stock dividends six months ahead of
schedule, we sold 5.0 million new shares of common stock, we increased our loan
loss allowance, we increased loan production by 52% over prior year and we ended
the year with combined available liquidity of $37.9 million."

Fourth quarter core operating earnings increased to $9.4 million, or $0.30 per
diluted share, as compared to core operating earnings of $3.7 million, or $0.14
per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2000. For 2001, core operating
earnings were $38.6 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, as compared to core
operating earnings of $15.7 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for 2000. Core
operating earnings exclude one-time, non-recurring items and the effect of fair
value accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities as required
by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"). Core
operating earnings were lower than GAAP earnings during the fourth quarter of
2001 as a result of positive SFAS 133 adjustments that were excluded from core
operating earnings in addition to the exclusion of a $2.8 million tax-effected
recovery of previously charged-off assets. Core operating earnings during the
fourth quarter of 2001 were lower than core operating earnings during the prior
quarter due to a $3.6 million increase in loan loss provisions to bolster the
Company's allowance for loan losses. Refer to the included financial statements
for the calculation of core operating earnings and a reconciliation of core
operating earnings to GAAP earnings.

During the fourth quarter and 2001, net earnings were positively affected by an
increase in net interest income and profitability at IFC. For the fourth
quarter, net interest income at IMH increased by $7.9 million over the fourth
quarter of last year. Net interest margins improved to 2.04% during the fourth
quarter as compared to 1.18% during the fourth quarter of last year and 1.96%
during the prior quarter. Total average mortgage assets during the fourth
quarter increased to $2.6 billion as compared to an average of $1.9 billion
during the fourth quarter of 2000. As a result of higher loan production and
sales volume, net earnings at IFC increased to $3.1 million during the fourth
quarter of 2001 as compared to a loss of $830,000 during the same quarter of
last year. During 2001, net earnings were positively affected by a 94% increase
in net interest income to $44.6 million as average outstanding Mortgage Assets
increased 21% to $2.2 billion and net interest margins improved to 1.98%, or 75
basis points over 2000 operating results. In addition, net earnings at IFC
increased by $12.8 million during 2001 as loan production increased 52% to $3.2
billion and sales volume increased 78% to $3.2 billion. The Company increased
its allowance for loan losses by 129% to $11.7 million at December 31, 2001, or
43 basis points of loans receivable, from $5.1 million, or 28 basis points or
loans receivable, at December 31, 2000.

        Long-Term Investment Operations Increases Mortgage Acquisitions
                 by 248% during 2001 as compared to Last Year

Commenting on the Long-Term Investment Operations, Mr. Tomkinson said, "during
the fourth quarter, we continued to acquire high credit quality, non-conforming
Alt-A mortgage loans from our Mortgage Operations as we are committed to
acquiring mortgages for future long-term investment with favorable credit
profiles and with prepayment penalty features. Our non-conforming Alt-A mortgage
products have historically had low annualized loss rates while prepayment
penalty features have mitigated the effect of early payoffs." Non conforming
Alt-A mortgage loans primarily consist of mortgage loans that are first lien
mortgage loans made to borrowers whose credit is generally within typical Fannie
Mae or Freddie Mac guidelines, but that have loan characteristics, such as lack
of documentation or verifications, that make them ineligible under those
guidelines.

Mr. Tomkinson further added, "because of the high credit profile of our non-
conforming Alt-A mortgages, during 2001 we have been able to borrow a higher
percentage against mortgage loans securing collateralized mortgage obligations
("CMOs") which we use as long-term financing for our mortgage investment
portfolio. With this increased leverage, we have been able to grow our balance
sheet by efficiently using our currently available capital. In regards to
prepayments, we are pleased to see that prepayment rates declined during the
fourth quarter as compared to the prior quarter, even as refinancing activity
increased nationwide. Average constant prepayment rate ("CPR") on CMO collateral
during the fourth quarter was 28% CPR as compared to 36% CPR during the prior
quarter and 23% CPR during the fourth quarter of 2000. Prepayment penalty
features and the specific loan characteristics of mortgages that we acquire from
the Mortgage Operations serve to soften prepayment rates on our mortgage
investment portfolio."

The Long-term Investment Operations acquired $1.5 billion of primarily
adjustable-rate non-conforming Alt-A mortgages from the Mortgage Operations
during 2001 as compared to $430.8 million acquired during 2000. Of the loans
acquired by the Long-Term Investment Operations during 2001, $1.1 billion, or
74%, were hybrid loans,


which are primarily fixed-rate for two to three years and subsequently convert
to six-month LIBOR based ARMs, with a weighted average credit score of 679. As
of December 31, 2001, 49% of CMO collateral had active prepayment penalties with
a remaining weighted average prepayment penalty period of approximately 45
months as compared to 30% and approximately 27 months, respectively, as of
December 31, 2000. As of December 31, 2001, outstanding CMO collateral was
acquired with an original weighted average credit score of 669 and 63% were
hybrid loans with a weighted average time to interest rate adjustment of
approximately 15 months. 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.

Allowance for loan losses increased 129% to $11.7 million at December 31, 2001
as compared to $5.1 million at December 31, 2000. The allowance for loan losses
expressed as a percentage of loans receivable, which includes CMO collateral,
mortgage loans held-for-investment and finance receivables, was 0.43% at
December 31, 2001 as compared to 0.28% at December 31, 2000. As of December 31,
2001, total non-performing assets were $69.5 million, or 2.43% of total assets,
as compared to $46.0 million, or 2.42% of total assets, as of December 31, 2001.
Mortgage loans that were 60 or more days delinquent, including foreclosures and
delinquent bankruptcies, was 3.84% of the mortgage investment portfolio as of
December 31, 2001 as compared to 4.89% as of December 31, 2000.

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.

     Warehouse Lending Operations Increases Average Finance Receivables to
          Non-affiliates by 53% during 2001 as compared to Last Year

Gretchen D. Verdugo, Executive Vice President of Impac Warehouse Lending Group,
Inc., commented, "the complete re-tooling of our Warehouse Lending Operations
during 2001 has allowed the Company to increase its quarterly average
outstanding warehouse balances to non-affiliates by 67% during the fourth
quarter of 2001 to $246.8 million as compared to $147.4 million last year. We
maintain a streamlined operation through the efficient use of technology and
warehouse lending professionals in order to grow our portfolio, while
maintaining a good credit risk profile."

Average finance receivables to non-affiliates increased 53% to $205.5 million
during 2001 as compared to $134.7 million during 2000. On December 31, 2001, the
Warehouse Lending Operations had 57 approved warehouse lines available to non-
affiliates customers totaling $447.0 million as compared to 52 and $391.5
million as of December 31, 2001, respectively.

     Mortgage Operations Increases Net Earnings by $12.8 million and Loan
            Production by 52% during 2001 as compared to Last Year

Commenting on the operating results of the Mortgage Operations, William S.
Ashmore, President and Chief Operating Officer, said, "2001 was an absolute
banner year for our Mortgage Operations. We are especially pleased with the
continued reduction in our per loan acquisition and origination costs which
spotlights the efficiency of our centralized production platform and technology
initiatives. During this year, our wholesale and retail originations were 25% of
overall loan production as compared to 13% last year which reduced the overall
weighted average premium we paid for mortgage loans and subsequently increased
profitability upon sale."

During 2001, net earnings reported by Impac Funding Corporation increased to
$11.0 million as compared to a loss of $1.8 million during 2000 primarily as
gain on sale of loans increased to $46.9 million as compared to gain on sale of
$19.7 million, respectively. Gain on sale of loans increased as IFC sold or
securitized $3.2 billion of mortgage loans during 2001 as compared to $1.8
billion during 2000.

Mr. Ashmore commented, "the Mortgage Operations were able to sell a higher
volume of mortgages during 2001 as loan production increased by 52% over prior
year. Gain on sale of loans reflected higher profitability upon execution of our
fixed-


rate securitizations and also included the sale of servicing rights upon the
execution of both our fixed- and adjustable-rate securitizations. Although, the
Mortgage Operations retained all master servicing rights on loans acquired or
originated during 2001, the sale of servicing rights created additional
liquidity, which the Mortgage Operations was able to deploy in its operations."

Loan production, including premiums paid, by the Mortgage Operations for the
fourth quarter and 2001 increased 49% and 52%, respectively, to $991.8 million
and $3.2 billion, respectively, as compared to $666.8 million and $2.1 billion,
respectively, during 2000. For the year, correspondent loan acquisitions were
$2.4 billion, wholesale and retail originations were $683.1 million and Novelle
Financial Services originations were $88.6 million as compared to $1.7 billion,
$276.3 million and none, respectively, during 2000. Loan production was driven
by low interest rates, niche loan programs offered to correspondent and
wholesale customers and IDASL, the Company's web-based automated underwriting
system, which has substantially enhanced the origination process. IDASL stands
for Impac Direct Access System for Lending and can be viewed at the Company's
new and improved website at www.impaccompanies.com.

                               Effect of SFAS 133

Net earnings during the fourth quarter were positively impacted by SFAS 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." On August 10,
2001, the Derivatives Implementation Group ("DIG") of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board published DIG G20, which further interpreted SFAS 133. On
October 1, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of DIG G20 and, henceforth,
the measurement of effectiveness of the Company's cash flow hedges is based on
changes in the entire change in fair value of the hedging instrument. On October
1, 2001, net income and accumulated other comprehensive income were adjusted by
the amount needed to reflect the cumulative impact of adopting the provisions of
DIG G20. The impact of the $3.7 million increase in earnings is reflected in the
statement of operations as cumulative effect of change in accounting principle.
