Joseph R. Tomkinson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Impac Mortgage
Holdings, Inc., commented, "2002 was an exciting year for the company. We
exceeded our initial goals of $1.60 per share in net earnings and total assets
by year-end in excess of $5.0 billion as well as a return to paying consistent
and reliable quarterly dividends to our shareholders. Underlying operating
results was the success and growth of our core operating businesses, which all
made positive earnings contributions during 2002. As a result of the growth of
our core operating businesses, year-over-year earnings per share increased 55%
and total assets at year-end increased 128% over the prior year."

Outlook for 2003

Mr. Tomkinson said, "Although the Mortgage Bankers Association ("MBA") estimates
that nationwide mortgage originations may decline 28% from 2002 levels,
primarily due to a decline in refinancing activity, we look to modestly increase
our loan acquisition and origination levels over 2002 results. Our belief is
that Alt-A mortgage originations as a percentage of the total mortgage
origination market will continue to grow as mortgage borrowers seek alternatives
to the traditional mortgage products offered by government sponsored agencies.
We believe that we can increase our share of the Alt-A mortgage market as we
have built a solid origination platform that focuses on product, price and
service, along with people that work effectively together to profitably manage
the acquisition, sale, finance and investment of our mortgage loans. We also
believe that we will be less affected by a decline in refinance activity as we
rely on purchase money transactions as evidenced by MBA estimates that 58% of
nationwide residential mortgage originations during 2002 were from refinancing
activity as compared to 45% of the Company's acquisitions and originations that
were from refinances during the same period."

Mr. Tomkinson went on to say, "We expect a gradual rise in interest rates
towards the latter part of 2003 from the historic lows experienced during 2002
which should lead to a gradual reduction in mortgage refinance activity along
with slightly higher borrowing costs and decreased mortgage prepayment rates in
our mortgage loan investment portfolio. We also expect a gradual change in the
composition of our acquisitions and originations from adjustable rate to fixed
rate mortgages, which started during the latter half of 2002 and which we expect
will to continue throughout 2003. Fixed rate mortgages held for investment are
financed through the issuance of CMOs, which provide fixed rate financing over
the life of the mortgages with no interest rate risk or interest rate hedge
related expenses. We plan to continue this strategy during 2003 as we believe we
will create long-term shareholder value by retaining mortgage assets that have
favorable credit profiles, prepayment penalty features and conservative
loan-to-value ratios which should generate positive cash flows over a longer
time horizon. Our 2003 business plan is also based on an interest rate hedging
strategy that should help maintain relatively stable net interest margins,
maintain adequate allowance for loan losses and acquire and originate both
adjustable and fixed rate mortgages for long-term investment."

New Business Opportunities

Impac Multifamily Capital Corporation

In addition to acquiring mortgages from our mortgage operations during 2002, the
long-term investment operations also originated multi-family mortgages through
Impac Multifamily Capital Corporation ("IMCC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of IMH
that was formed during the third quarter of 2002. IMCC is located at our
headquarters in Newport Beach, California, which allows us to maintain
centralized operations and support. IMCC was formed to primarily originate small
balance multi-family mortgages with high credit quality, conservative
loan-to-value ratios and adjustable rate mortgages with balances ranging from
$250,000 to $1.5 million. Multi-family mortgages provide greater asset
diversification on our balance sheet as multi-family mortgages typically have
higher interest rate spreads and longer lives than residential mortgages. IMCC
originated $25.8 million of multi-family mortgages during the fourth quarter of
2002 with an average loan size of $737,000. We expect IMCC to originate in
excess of $300.0 million multi-family mortgages during 2003, which will be
retained for long-term investment and financed with CMO borrowings. Multi-family
mortgages originated during the fourth quarter of 2002 were primarily secured by
properties located in California and all multi-family mortgages had interest
rate floors with prepayment penalty periods ranging from three to five years
with the borrower's weighted average credit score of 731 and a weighted average
loan-to-value ratio of 67%.

Novelle Financial Services, Inc.

Novelle Financial Services, Inc. ("Novelle") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of IFC
that originates sub-prime residential mortgages through a network of wholesale
brokers and subsequently sells its loans to third party investors for cash
gains. Novelle began operations during September of 2001 in San Diego,
California, where it is currently headquartered, with an initial capital
contribution from IFC of $1.5 million. Subsequently in August of 2002, IFC
contributed an additional $3.5 million to Novelle to provide the necessary
capital for Novelle to continue its growth. Novelle exceeded origination and
profitability goals for 2002 as it originated $404.9 million of sub-prime
mortgages and contributed net earnings of $1.7 million to the mortgage
operations, which reflected a return on average equity of 69%. We expect
Novelle's sub-prime mortgage originations to grow to approximately $700.0
million in 2003.



Other Operating Business Segments

Long-Term Investment Operations

We exceeded our growth targets for 2002 as the long-term investment operations
acquired $3.9 billion in principal balance of primarily Alt-A adjustable and
fixed rate mortgages from the mortgage operations and retained $25.8 million of
multi-family mortgages originated by IMCC, which increased CMO collateral and
loans held for investment to $5.2 billion at December 31, 2002 from $2.2 billion
for the prior year. Mortgages acquired for long-term investment were primarily
financed through the issuance of CMOs and sale of common stock. We issued CMOs
totaling $3.9 billion of which $3.3 billion were adjustable rate CMOs and $597.0
million were fixed rate CMOs. We also raised $116.0 million from the issuance of
13.3 million new shares of common stock. By issuing new shares periodically
throughout the year we were able to utilize new capital more efficiently and
profitably, which was important in last year's market as yields on high
investment grade alternatives for cash were extremely low. Issuing new shares of
common stock was accretive to pro forma book value per common share, which
increased to $7.80 at December 31, 2002 as compared to $7.23 for the prior year.
Pro forma book value excludes $50.2 million of unrealized mark-to-market losses
on derivative instruments that is reflected on the financial statements as a
reduction to stockholder's equity.

Warehouse Lending Operations

The warehouse lending operations were a significant contributor to overall
earnings during 2002 which we expect to continue throughout 2003. Advances on
warehouse lines were $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2002 as compared to $466.6
million for the prior year. Average outstanding advances to non-affiliates
increased 66% to $341.5 million in 2002 as compared to $205.5 million during
2001 as new clients were added and mortgage activity with existing clients
reflected the overall increase in mortgage demand during 2002. With our
expectation that nationwide mortgage demand will gradually decline in 2003, we
project growth in average outstanding advances to non-affiliates will remain
relatively flat during 2003.

Mortgage Operations

William S. Ashmore, President and Chief Operating Officer, commented, "Net
earnings rose 56% to $17.2 million in 2002 as compared to $11.0 million during
2001 as total mortgage acquisitions and originations increased 88% to $6.0
billion from $3.2 billion, respectively. The mortgage operations sold $3.9
billion in principal balance of mortgages to the long-term investment
operations, which included $600.0 million of fixed rate mortgages that were
retained and financed through the issuance of fixed rate CMOs. By selling fixed
rate loans to the long-term investment operations, the Company as a whole is
less reliant on revenue generated from gain on sale of loans and is more reliant
on revenue generated from its balance sheet. We believe that this strategy will
provide more earnings over time than would be received on earnings generated
strictly from loan sales."

New Reporting Schedule

In an effort to comply with new reporting guidelines set forth by the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"),
we anticipate accelerating the reporting timeframes that Form 10-Qs and 10-Ks
are available to the public and in the process eliminating our quarterly
earnings releases (with the exception of the fourth quarter earnings release).
Therefore, beginning with the first quarter of 2003, we expect to file our
quarterly Form 10-Q approximately 35 days after quarter-end. This will bring us
into compliance with Form 10-Q filing deadlines as mandated by the SEC two years
before required. Upon filing our quarterly Form 10-Q, we intend to publish a
brief press release that summarizes our quarterly results. We plan to continue
quarterly conference calls to discuss results of operations and publish a
monthly fact sheet, which can be viewed on our website at
www.impaccompanies.com, which provides selected unaudited financial information
and results on a monthly basis. We plan to file our Form 10-K according to the
accelerated schedule as mandated by the SEC that requires a 75-day filing period
beginning with the 2003 annual Form 10-K and a 60-day filing period beginning
with the 2004 annual Form 10-K. For year-end and fourth quarter results of
operations we expect to publish an earnings release approximately 30 days after
year-end.

relations group and ask for Tania Jernigan at (949) 475-3600 or e-mail Ms.
