Note A—Summary of Business, Significant Accounting Policies and Legal Proceedings

1.	Business Summary and Financial Statement Presentation

Business Summary

Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. (the Company or IMH) is a Maryland corporation incorporated in August 1995 and has the following subsidiaries: IMH Assets Corp. (IMH Assets), Impac Warehouse Lending Group, Inc. (IWLG), and Impac Funding Corporation (IFC), together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries Impac Secured Assets Corp. (ISAC) and Impac Commercial Capital Corporation (ICCC).

In the first quarter of 2009, the Company created a new subsidiary, Integrated Real Estate Service Corporation (IRES), which includes mortgage and real estate related fee-based businesses and entities.

The Company’s operations include its continuing and discontinued operations. The continuing operations primarily include the long-term mortgage portfolio (residual interests in securitizations reflected as net trust assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets), and the mortgage and real estate related fee-based businesses. The discontinued operations include the former non-conforming mortgage and retail operations conducted by IFC, commercial operations conducted by ICCC, and warehouse lending operations conducted by IWLG.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company revoked its election to be taxed as a REIT, effective January 1, 2009. As a result of revoking this election, the Company will be subject to income taxes as a regular corporation. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had estimated federal and California net operating loss carryforwards of $353.6 million and $526.1 million, respectively. These amounts are subject to change based on the completion and filing of the Company’s income tax returns.

The information contained throughout this document is presented on a continuing basis, unless otherwise stated.

Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of IMH and its subsidiaries (as defined above) have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. These interim period condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, certain amounts in the prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The items affected by management’s estimates and assumptions include the valuation of trust assets and liabilities, the valuation of repurchase liabilities related to sold loans, the valuation of long-term debt, and the valuation of loans held-for-sale. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Market Conditions and Status of Operations

The economy continued to contract in the first half of 2009. Labor markets deteriorated rapidly as U.S. firms reduced the number of jobs driving the U.S. unemployment rate higher in June. Higher unemployment and weaker overall economic conditions have led to a significant increase in the number of defaults, while continued weak housing prices have driven a significant increase in loss severities. Defaults continue to remain elevated as the economy and housing market continues to struggle. The credit performance of the Company’s long-term mortgage portfolio continues to be negatively affected by these economic conditions. Delinquencies and nonperforming loans and assets continue to increase as a percentage of loans outstanding. Additional deterioration in the overall economic environment, including continued deterioration in the labor market, could cause delinquencies to increase beyond the Company’s current expectations, resulting in additional increases in losses and reductions in fair value. Offsetting these losses and reductions in fair value were increases in the fair value of the Company’s trust assets and trust liabilities as a result of accounting guidance adopted during the quarter, which clarified the use of quoted prices in determining fair values in markets that are inactive, thus moderating the need to use distressed prices in valuing financial asset and liabilities in illiquid markets as the Company had used in prior periods. Refer to Note A2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements for additional information.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company initiated various mortgage and real estate related fee-based businesses, including loan modifications, real estate disposition, monitoring and surveillance services, real estate brokerage and lending services and escrow services, and has begun to generate revenues from these businesses. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, mortgage and real estate services fees were $13.2 million and $18.8 million, respectively. However, since these businesses are newly formed and currently generate fees primarily from the Company’s long-term mortgage portfolio, there remains uncertainty about their future success, including providing services to the marketplace.

In January 2009, the Company purchased and canceled $25.0 million in outstanding trust preferred securities of Impac Capital Trust #2 for $3.75 million and terminated the remaining debt.

In May 2009, the Company exchanged an aggregate of $51.3 million in trust preferred securities of Impac Capital Trusts #1 and #3 for junior subordinated notes with an aggregate principal balance of $62.0 million, with a maturity date in March 2034. Under the terms of the exchange, the interest rate for each note was reduced from the original 8.01 percent to 2.00 percent through 2013 with increases of 1.00 percent per year through 2017. Starting in 2018, the interest rates become variable at 3-month LIBOR plus 375 basis points. In connection with the exchange, the Company paid a fee of $0.5 million. Refer to Note H – Long-term Debt for additional information.

In June 2009, the Company purchased and canceled $1.0 million in outstanding trust preferred securities of Impac Capital Trust #4 for $150 thousand.

As of July 30, 2009, the Company is current and no longer deferring interest on trust preferred securities.

In August 2009, the Company purchased and canceled $2.5 million in outstanding trust preferred securities of Impac Capital Trust #4 for $375 thousand, resulting in $8.5 million in outstanding trust preferred securities. Refer to Note J – Subsequent Events for additional information.

As a result of the restructuring of $51.3 million and purchase and cancelation of $36.5 million in outstanding trust preferred securities, the Company reduced its annual interest expense obligation from $7.8 million to $2.0 million. With the restructuring and purchase and cancelations of trust preferred securities, the Company has $8.5 million in outstanding trust preferred securities of Impac Capital Trust #4 and $62.0 million in outstanding junior subordinated notes.

In June 2009, the Company completed the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation (the “Offer to Purchase”) of all of its 9.375% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and 9.125% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock had a liquidation preference of $50 million and the Series C Preferred Stock had a liquidation preference of $111.8 million, for a total of $161.8 million. Upon expiration of the Offer to Purchase, holders of approximately 67.7% of the Preferred Stock tendered an aggregate of 4,378,880 shares. Stockholders of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock tendered 1,323,844 shares at $0.29297 per share for $388 thousand. Stockholders of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock tendered 3,055,036 shares at $0.28516 per share for $871 thousand. The aggregate purchase price for the Preferred Stock was $1.3 million. In addition, in connection with completing the Offer to Purchase, the Company paid $7.4 million accumulated but unpaid dividends on its Preferred Stock. With the total cash payment of $8.7 million, the Company eliminated $109.5 million of liquidation preference on its Preferred Stock. After the completion of the Offer to Purchase, the Company has outstanding $52.3 million liquidation preference of Series B and Series C Preferred Stock.

With completion of the Offer to Purchase and modification to the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, the Company eliminated its $14.9 million annual preferred dividend obligation. Refer to Note I – Preferred Stock Repurchase for additional information.

2.	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS 165), which establishes general standards of and accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued three FASB Staff Positions (FSP) related to fair value measurements:

FSP No. FAS 157-4 “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (FSP 157-4)

FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1)

FAS No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2)

FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of market activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. It acknowledges that in these circumstances quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value. This FSP emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of market activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Prior to issuance of this FSP 157-4, many companies, including the Company, interpreted SFAS 157 to emphasize the use of most recently available quoted market prices in determining fair value, regardless of whether markets had experienced a significant decline in the volume and level of activity relative to normal conditions or increased frequency of transactions that are not orderly.

Under the provisions of FSP 157-4, quoted prices for assets or liabilities in inactive markets may require adjustment due to uncertainty as to whether the underlying transactions are orderly. There is little information, if any, to evaluate if individual transactions are orderly in an inactive market. Accordingly, the Company is required to evaluate the facts and circumstances to determine whether the transaction is orderly based on the weight of the evidence. FSP 157-4 does not designate a specific method for adjusting a transaction or quoted price, however, it does provide guidance for determining how much weight to give a transaction or quoted price. Price quotes derived from transactions that are not orderly are not considered to be determinative of fair value and should be given less weight, if any, when measuring fair value.

FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of FSP 157-4 on April 1, 2009, resulted in an increase of $13.3 million included in change in fair value of net trust assets in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Offsetting this increase at adoption were decreases in the fair values of trust assets and trust liabilities as a result of the Company increasing loss assumptions for its long-term mortgage portfolio due to increases in expected defaults and loss severities related to the weak economy and housing market.

FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends FASB Statement No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. For debt securities, the statement requires that an entity assess whether it (a) has the intent to sell the debt security or (b) more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met, the Company would be required to recognize other-than-temporary impairment. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted EITF No. 08-5, “Issuer’s Accounting for Liabilities Measured at Fair Value with a Third-Party Credit Enhancement” (EITF 08-5). EITF 08-5 addresses whether issuer’s of liabilities should consider the effect of the third-party credit enhancement when measuring the liability at fair value under FASB Statement No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). EITF 08-5 requires that the issuer of a liability with a third-party credit enhancement that is inseparable from the liability shall not include the effect of the credit enhancement in the fair value measurement of the liability. The guidance in EITF 08-5 is effective in the first reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with the effect of initially applying its guidance being included in the change in fair value in the period of adoption. The adoption of EITF 08-5 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective, January 1, 2009, application of SFAS 157 to nonfinancial assets and liabilities is required. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, the Company has included additional disclosures as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 for nonrecurring fair value measurements related to its nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”—a replacement of FASB Statement No 162 (SFAS 168). Under SFAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The issuance of SFAS 168 will not affect GAAP, however the Company will be required to eliminate references to the pre-codification accounting and reporting standard references in financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – An Amendment of FASB Statement 140” (SFAS 166) and SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (SFAS 167). SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity (QSPE), creates more stringent conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale, clarifies other sale-accounting criteria, and changes the initial measurement of a transferor’s interest in transferred financial assets. Former QSPEs will be evaluated for consolidation based on the provisions of SFAS 167, which changes the approach to determining a VIE’s primary beneficiary and requires companies to more frequently reassess whether they must consolidate or deconsolidate VIEs. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these new pronouncements on its financial statements. While management of the Company has not completed its evaluation, the Company may be required to deconsolidate certain securitization trust assets and trust liabilities that are currently consolidated within the Company’s financial statements because certain of these trusts may be VIEs of the Company, but the Company may not be the primary beneficiary. In addition, the Company has two unconsolidated trusts that may be VIEs of the Company and the Company may be the primary beneficiary, in which case the Company would be required to consolidate the related trust assets and liabilities.

3.	Income Taxes and Deferred Charge

Prior to January 1, 2009, the Company operated as a REIT under the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Requirements for qualification as a REIT included various restrictions on ownership of IMH’s stock, requirements concerning distribution of taxable income and certain restrictions on the nature of assets and sources of income.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had estimated federal and California net operating loss carryforwards of $353.6 million and $526.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary had an estimated federal net operating loss tax carryforward of $293.4 million. The federal net operating loss carryforward of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary, utilization of which may be limited to the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary, begins to expire in the year 2027. As of December 31, 2008, the Company and the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary had net deferred tax assets of approximately $547.9 million and $100.0 million, respectively. These amounts are subject to change based on the completion and filing of the Company’s income tax returns. The Company recorded a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets as it believes that as of June 30, 2009 it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be recoverable.

In accordance with Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” the Company records a deferred charge representing the deferral of income tax expense on inter-company profits that resulted from the sale of mortgages from taxable subsidiaries to IMH in prior years. The deferred charge is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is amortized as a component of income tax expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations over the estimated life of the mortgages retained in the securitized mortgage collateral. The Company recorded a tax expense of $20 thousand and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $2.2 million and $8.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The tax expense is primarily the result of the amount of the deferred charge amortized and/or impaired resulting from credit losses, which does not result in any tax liability required to be paid.

4.	Legal Proceedings

The Company is party to litigation and claims which are normal in the course of our operations.

In June 2009, the Company entered into a settlement agreement for an insignificant amount with plaintiffs in a purported class action matter entitled Vincent Marshell v. Impac Funding Corporation, et al., as further described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, requiring that all claims be dismissed with prejudice, with no admission of wrongdoing on the part of any defendant.

Please refer to IMH’s report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 for a description of other litigation and claims.

We believe that we have meritorious defenses to the above claims and intend to defend these claims vigorously and as such the Company believes the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Nevertheless, litigation is uncertain and we may not prevail in the lawsuits and can express no opinion as to their ultimate resolution. An adverse judgment in any of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Note B—Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The use of fair value to measure the Company’s financial instruments is fundamental to its consolidated financial statements and is a critical accounting estimate because a substantial portion of its assets and liabilities are recorded at estimated fair value.

The Company adopted FSP 157-4 effective April 1, 2009. FSP 157-4 addresses measuring fair value under SFAS 157 in situations where the volume and level of market activity has significantly decreased and transactions are not orderly. Under the provisions of the FSP 157-4, transactions or quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value for assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

Prior to adoption of the FSP 157-4, the Company used independent broker quoted prices (unadjusted and non-binding quotes) to measure fair value for substantially all of its securitized mortgage borrowings. In connection with the adoption, the Company determines when the level and volume of activity has declined significantly in relation to normal market conditions. FSP 157-4 guidance suggests less weight, if any, shall be applied on a transaction or price quote based on a market that is not orderly. Furthermore, the nature of the quote (indicative price or binding offer) should be considered when weighting the available evidence. In the absence of price quotes based on orderly transactions, the Company may use valuation techniques that reflect market participant assumptions.

For securitized mortgage collateral and securitized mortgage borrowings, the underlying Alt-A residential and commercial loans and mortgage-backed securities market has experienced a significant decline in market activity with a lack of orderly transactions. The methodology used to measure fair value included the use of internal pricing techniques such as the net present value of future expected cash flows (with observable market participant assumptions, where available) discounted at a rate of return based on market participant requirements. The significant assumptions utilized in the internal pricing techniques, which were based on the characteristics of the underlying collateral, included estimated credit losses, estimated prepayment speeds and appropriate discount rates. For the impact of adopting FSP 157-4 to our consolidated financial statements, see Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

The following table presents the fair value of financial instruments included in the consolidated financial statements as of the periods indicated:

	June 30, 2009				December 31, 2008
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Assets
Cash and cash equivalents	$	30,694	$	30,694	$	46,215		46,215

Liabilities
Securitized mortgage borrowings	$	6,080,637	$	6,080,637	$	6,193,984	$	6,193,984
Derivative liabilities		184,851		184,851		273,584		273,584
Long-term debt		9,797		9,797		15,403		15,403

The estimated fair value amounts above have been determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value in both inactive and orderly markets. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximates fair value. Short-term investments are recorded at amortized cost. The fair value of short-term investments is determined using quoted prices in active markets. Refer to Recurring fair value measurements below for a description of the valuation methods used to determine the fair value of investment securities available for sale, securitized mortgage collateral and borrowings, derivative assets and liabilities and long-term debt.

Recurring fair value measurements

The application of fair value estimates may be on a recurring or non-recurring basis depending on the accounting principles applicable to the specific asset or liability or whether management has elected to carry the item at its estimated fair value.

SFAS 157 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 — Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.

The following tables present, the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including financial instruments for which the Company has elected the fair value option at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, based on the fair value hierarchy of SFAS 157:

Derivative liabilities, net includes $37 thousand in derivative assets and $273.6 million in derivative liabilities, included within trust assets and trust liabilities, respectively.

As a result of the lack of observable market data resulting from inactive markets, the Company has classified its investment securities available-for-sale, securitized mortgage collateral and borrowings, net derivative liabilities and long-term debt as Level 3 fair value measurements at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Level 3 assets and liabilities were 100 percent of total assets and total liabilities at fair value at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

The following tables present a reconciliation for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

The following is a description of the measurement techniques for items recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

Investment securities available-for-sale — The Company elected to carry all of its investment securities available-for-sale at fair value. The investment securities consist primarily of non-investment grade mortgage-backed securities. The fair value of the investment securities are measured based upon the Company’s expectation of inputs that other market participants would use. Such assumptions include judgments about the underlying collateral, prepayment speeds, credit losses, forward interest rates and certain other factors. Given the market disruption and lack of observable market data as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the fair value of the investment securities available-for-sale were measured using significant internal expectations of market participants’ assumptions.

Securitized mortgage collateral — The Company elected to carry all of its securitized mortgage collateral at fair value. These assets consist primarily of non-conforming mortgage loans securitized between 2002 and 2007. Fair value measurements are based on the Company’s internal models used to compute the net present value of future expected cash flows, with observable market participant assumptions, where available. The Company’s assumptions include its expectations of inputs that other market participants would use in pricing these assets. These assumptions include judgments about the underlying collateral, prepayment speeds, estimated future credit losses, forward interest rates, investor yield requirements and certain other factors. As of June 30, 2009, securitized mortgage collateral had an unpaid principal balance of $13.1 billion, compared to an estimated fair value of $6.0 billion. The aggregate unpaid principal balance exceeds the fair value by $7.1 billion at June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, the unpaid principal balance of loans 90 days or more past due was $2.9 billion compared to an estimated fair value of $0.9 billion. The aggregate unpaid principal balances of loans 90 days or more past due exceed the fair value by $2.0 billion at June 30, 2009.

Securitized mortgage borrowings — The Company elected to carry all of its securitized mortgage borrowings at fair value. These borrowings consist of individual tranches of bonds issued by securitization trusts and are primarily backed by non-conforming mortgage loans. Fair value measurements include the Company’s judgments about the underlying collateral assumptions such as prepayment speeds, estimated future credit losses, forward interest rates, investor yield requirements and certain other factors. As of June 30, 2009, securitized mortgage borrowings had an outstanding principal balance of $13.8 billion compared to an estimated fair value of $6.1 billion. The aggregate outstanding principal balance exceeds the fair value by $7.7 billion at June 30, 2009.

Long-term debt — The Company elected to carry all of its long-term debt (consisting of trust preferred securities and junior subordinated notes) at fair value. These securities were measured based upon an analysis prepared by the Company, which considered the Company’s own credit risk, including consideration of recent settlements with trust preferred debt holders and discounted cash flow analysis of junior subordinated notes. As of June 30, 2009, long-term debt had an unpaid principal balance of $73.6 million compared to an estimated fair value of $9.8 million. The aggregate unpaid principal balance exceeds the fair value by $63.8 million at June 30, 2009.

Derivative assets and liabilities — For non-exchange traded contracts, fair value is based on the amounts that would be required to settle the positions with the related counterparties as of the valuation date. Valuations of derivative assets and liabilities are based on observable market inputs, if available. To the extent observable market inputs are not available, fair values measurements include the Company’s judgments about the future cash flows, forward interest rates and certain other factors, including counterparty risk. Additionally, these values also take into account the Company’s own credit standing, to the extent applicable, thus included in the valuation of the derivative instrument is the value of the net credit differential between the counterparties to the derivative contract.

The following tables present changes in fair value of recurring fair value measurements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively:

(1)

Amounts primarily represent accretion to recognize interest income and interest expense using effective yields based on estimated fair values for trust assets and trust liabilities. The total net interest income, including cash received and paid, was $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

(2)

Included in this amount is $12.2 million in changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and $71.3 million in cash payments from the securitization trusts for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

(3)

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, change in the fair value of trust assets, excluding REO was ($7.6) million. Excluded from the $63.7 million change in fair value of net trust assets, excluding REO, in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows is $71.3 million in cash payments from the securitization trusts related to the Company’s net derivative liabilities.

In connection with the fair value option election for investment securities available-for-sale and securitized mortgage collateral and borrowings, interest income and interest expense is recognized using effective yields basedon estimated fair values for these instruments. As the market’s expectation of future credit losses has increased between periods, market participants have demanded higher yields, which have resulted in significant reductions in the fair values of these instruments. These reductions in fair value have significantly increased the effective yields used for purposes of recognizing interest income and interest expense on these instruments.

The change in fair value of the asset and liabilities above, excluding derivative instruments, are primarily due to the changes in credit risk. The change in fair value for derivative instruments is primarily due to the change in the forward LIBOR curve.

Non-recurring fair value measurements

The Company is required to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value from time-to-time. These fair value measurements typically result from the application of specific accounting pronouncements under GAAP. The fair value measurements are considered non-recurring fair value measurements under SFAS 157.

Loans held-for-sale - Loans held-for-sale for which the fair value option was not elected are carried at lower of cost or market (LOCOM). When available, such measurements are based upon what secondary markets offer for portfolios with similar characteristics, and are considered Level 2 measurements. If market pricing is not available, such measurements are significantly impacted by the Company’s expectations of other market participants’ assumptions, and are considered Level 3 measurements. The Company utilizes internal pricing processes to estimate the fair value of loans held-for-sale, which is based on recent loan sales and estimates of the fair value of the underlying collateral. Loans held-for-sale, which are primarily included in assets of discontinued operations, are considered Level 3 fair value measurements at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 based on the lack of observable market inputs.

Real estate owned - REO consists of residential real estate acquired in satisfaction of loans. Upon foreclosure, REO is adjusted to the estimated fair value of the residential real estate less estimated selling and holding costs, offset by expected mortgage insurance proceeds to be received, if any. Subsequently, REO is recorded at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell. Fair values of REO are generally based on appraisals or market prices, and considered Level 2 measurements at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Lease liability — In connection with the discontinuation of our non-conforming mortgage, retail mortgage, warehouse lending and commercial operations, a significant amount of office space that was previously occupied is no longer being used by the Company. The Company has subleased a significant amount of this office space. The Company has recorded a liability, included within discontinued operations, representing the present value of the minimum lease payments over the remaining life of the lease, offset by the expected proceeds from sublet revenue related to this office space. This liability is based on the present value techniques that incorporate the Company’s judgments about estimated sublet revenue and discount rates. Therefore, this liability is considered a Level 3 measurement at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

The following tables present the fair values of those financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

	Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements							Total Gains (Losses)
	As of June 30, 2009							For the Three Months Ended			For the Six Months Ended

Lease liability (3)		-		-		(3,935	)		2,503			2,560

(1)

Includes $0.3 million and $84.9 million of loans held-for-sale within continuing and discontinued operations, respectively at June 30, 2009.

(2)

Includes $167.3 million and $4.7 million in REO within continuing and discontinued operations, respectively at June 30, 2009 which had additional impairment write-downs subsequent to the date of foreclosure. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the $9.6 million loss related to additional impairment write-downs during the period included $9.1 million and $0.5 million within continuing and discontinued operations, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the $95.2 million loss related to additional impairment write-downs during the period included $93.3 million and $1.9 million within continuing and discontinued operations, respectively.

(3)

Amounts are included in discontinued operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded $2.5 million and $2.6 million in gains resulting from reductions in lease liabilities as a result of changes in our expected minimum future lease payments, respectively.

	Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements						Total Losses

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		December 31, 2008
Loans held-for-sale (1)	$	-	$	-	$	108,223	$	45,960

(1)

Includes $0.4 million and $107.8 million of loans held-for-sale within continuing and discontinued operations, respectively at December 31, 2008.

Note C— Stock Options

The fair value of options granted, which is amortized to expense over the option vesting period, is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	Six Months
	Ended June 30,
	2009			2008
Risk-free interest rate		2.86	%	1.88% to 2.13		%
Expected lives (in years)		5.50			3.25
Expected volatility (1)		259.16	%		87.3% - 89.9	%
Expected dividend yield (2)		0.00	%		0.00	%
Grant date fair value of share options	$	0.53		$	7.14 - 7.76

(1)

Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over the expected option life.

(2)

Expected dividend yield is zero because a dividend on the common stock was not probable over the expected life of the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

The following table summarizes activity, pricing and other information for the Company’s stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2009:

				Weighted-
				Average
	Number of			Exercise
	Shares			Price ($)
Options outstanding at January 1, 2009		1,140,186		$	37.18
Options granted		842,300			0.53
Options exercised		-			-
Options forfeited / cancelled		(599,300	)		27.62
Options outstanding at June 30, 2009		1,383,186		$	19.00
Options exercisable at June 30, 2009		221,097		$	81.20

As of June 30, 2009, there was approximately $1.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.8 years.

In April 2009, the Company’s officers and directors gave notice of the surrender of an aggregate of 581,000 options and the Board accepted and approved the cancellation of those listed options. In connection with the cancellation of these options, the Company recognized non-cash compensation expense of approximately $1.7 million during the second quarter.

Note D—Reconciliation of Earnings Per Share

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net earnings per share including the dilutive effect of stock options and preferred stock outstanding for the periods indicated:

Amount represents REO related to former on-balance sheet securitizations, which were collapsed as the result of the Company exercising its clean-up call options. This REO is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Note G— Restructured Financing (Discontinued Operations)

The Company’s reverse repurchase financing, included in discontinued operations, is secured by the Company’s mortgage loans held-for-sale with an unpaid principal balance of $184.7 million, restricted cash of $19.9 million and certain REOs. The following table presents the outstanding balance of the Company’s Restructured Financing as of the dates indicated:

	Discontinued Operations
	as of June 30,		as of December 31,
	2009		2008

Reverse repurchase line (1)	$	171,708	$	188,677

(1)

This line, which is guaranteed by IMH, is no longer funding loans and was restructured in 2008 as described below.

In September 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to restructure its reverse repurchase line (Restructured Financing) with its remaining lender. The balance of this Restructured Financing was $171.7 million at June 30, 2009 and collateralized by loans held-for-sale within discontinued operations. The agreement removed all technical defaults from financial covenant noncompliance and any associated margin calls for the term of the agreement. The agreement calls for certain targets including a reduction of the borrowings balance to $100 million by March 2010 with an advance rate of no more than 65 percent of the outstanding principal balance and $50 million by September 2010 with an advance rate of no more than 55 percent of the outstanding principal balance. By meeting these targets, the agreement term can extend to March 2011. At June 30, 2009, the advance rate was 78 percent. The agreement also calls for monthly payments of $1.5 million until the earlier of the Company raising capital or the end of the agreement term. If the Company is successful in raising capital, approximately 10 percent of the gross proceeds will be required to be paid as an additional payment and the monthly payment would then be reduced to $750,000. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 325 basis points, and all cash collected from the securing mortgage loans is required to be paid to the lender. To the extent the cash collected from the collateral is not adequate to pay the interest expense due on the borrowings, interest expense would be paid to the lender from the Company’s restricted cash account included in assets of discontinued operations or the Company’s cash balances. Accomplishing the restructuring of this reverse repurchase line allows the Company to timely manage the remaining loans on the line for the eventual collection, refinance, sale or securitization without the risk of receiving margin calls. Upon an event of default, the Company is responsible for any shortfall if the value of the loans securing the financing is insufficient to repay the outstanding balance. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company paid an additional $4.5 million and $9.0 million, respectively in payments, used by the lender to offset interest and settlement shortfalls, as required under the restructured terms.

Note I—Preferred Stock Repurchase

In June 2009, the Company completed the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation (the “Offer to Purchase”) of all of its 9.375% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and 9.125% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock had a liquidation preference of $50 million and the Series C Preferred Stock had a liquidation preference of $111.8 million, for a total of $161.8 million. Upon expiration of the Offer to Purchase, holders of approximately 67.7% of the Preferred Stock tendered an aggregate of 4,378,880 shares. Stockholders of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock tendered 1,323,844 shares at $0.29297 per share for $388 thousand. Stockholders of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock tendered 3,055,036 shares at $0.28516 per share for $871 thousand. The aggregate purchase price for the Preferred Stock was $1.3 million. In addition, in connection with completing the offer to purchase the Company paid $7.4 million accumulated but unpaid dividends on its Preferred Stock. With the total cash payment of $8.7 million, the Company eliminated $109.5 million of liquidation preference on its Preferred Stock. After the completion of the Offer to Purchase, the Company has outstanding $52.3 million liquidation preference of Series B and Series C Preferred Stock.

As a condition to completing the offer to purchase, the common stockholders and preferred stockholders approved and consented to modify the terms of each of the Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock to (i) make dividends, if any, non-cumulative, (ii) eliminate the provisions prohibiting the payment of dividends on junior stock and prohibiting the purchase or redemption of junior or parity stock if full cumulative dividends for all past dividend periods are not paid or declared and set apart for payment, (iii) eliminate any premiums payable upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, (iv) eliminate the provision prohibiting the Company from electing to redeem Preferred Stock prior to the fifth year anniversary of the issuance of such preferred stock, (v) eliminate the provision prohibiting the Company from redeeming less than all of the outstanding Preferred Stock if full cumulative dividends for all past dividend periods have not been paid or declared and set apart for payment, (vi) eliminate the right of holders of Preferred Stock to elect two directors if dividends are in arrears for six quarterly periods and (vii) eliminate the right of holders of Preferred Stock to consent to or approve the authorization or issuance of preferred stock senior to the Preferred Stock. The holders of each series of Preferred Stock retain the right to a $25.00 liquidation preference in the event of a liquidation of the Company and the right to receive dividends on the Preferred Stock if any such dividends are declared.

Note J—Subsequent Events

Subsequent events have been evaluated through August 10, 2009, the date these financial statements were issued.

For a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, see “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2008, the other reports we file under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and the additional risk factors set forth below in this quarterly report. This document speaks only as of its date and we do not undertake, and specifically disclaim any obligation, to publicly release the results of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

The Mortgage Banking Industry and Discussion of Relevant Fiscal Periods

The mortgage banking industry is continually vulnerable to current events that occur in the financial services industry. These events include changes in economic indicators, government regulation, interest rates, price competition, geographic shifts, disposable income, housing prices, market liquidity, market anticipation, and customer perception, as well as others. The factors that affect the industry change rapidly and can be unforeseeable.

Current events can diminish the relevance of “quarter over quarter” and “year-to-date over year-to-date” comparisons of financial information. In such instances, the Company attempts to present financial information in its Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations that is the most relevant to its financial information.

Status of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Long-term mortgage portfolio

During the first half of 2009, the Company continues to be significantly and negatively affected by the deteriorating real estate market and the weak economic environment. These factors have led to continued deterioration in the quality of the Company’s long-term mortgage portfolio, as evidenced by the continued increases in delinquencies, foreclosures and credit losses. Existing conditions are unprecedented and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainty to the Company. The current market conditions have led to fewer sources of liquidity available to the Company to operate its business. These conditions continue to have an adverse effect on the performance of the Company’s long-term mortgage portfolio, including significant losses on real estate owned. The Company has increased its loss assumptions for its long-term mortgage portfolio due to the increase in expected defaults and loss severities related to the weak economy and housing market.

Mortgage and real estate services

Liquidity and capital resources

During the first six months of 2009, the Company continued to fund its operations primarily from the cash flows from its long-term mortgage portfolio and mortgage and real estate related fee-based businesses.

In January 2009, the Company purchased and canceled all of the $25.0 million in outstanding trust preferred securities of Impac Capital Trust #2 for $3.75 million and terminated the remaining debt.

In June 2009, the Company purchased and canceled $1.0 million in outstanding trust preferred securities of Impac Capital Trust #4 for $150 thousand.

As of July 30, 2009, the Company is current and no longer deferring interest on trust preferred securities.

In August 2009, the Company purchased and canceled $2.5 million in outstanding trust preferred securities of Impac Capital Trust #4 for $375 thousand.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company paid $0.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively in interest on trust preferred securities.

As a result of the restructuring of $51.3 million and the purchase and cancelation of $36.5 million in outstanding trust preferred securities, the Company reduced its annual interest expense obligation from $7.8 million to $2.0 million. With the restructuring and purchase and cancelations of trust preferred securities, the Company has $8.5 million in outstanding trust preferred securities of Impac Capital Trust #4 and $62.0 million in outstanding junior subordinated notes.

In June 2009, the Company completed the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation (the “Offer to Purchase”) of all of its 9.375% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and 9.125% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock had a liquidation preference of $50 million and the Series C Preferred Stock had a liquidation preference of $111.8 million, for a total of $161.8 million. Upon expiration of the Offer to Purchase, holders of approximately 67.7% of the Preferred Stock tendered an aggregate of 4,378,880 shares. Stockholders of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock tendered 1,323,844 shares at $0.29297 per share for $388 thousand. Stockholders of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock tendered 3,055,036 shares at $0.28516 per share for $871 thousand. The aggregate purchase price for the Preferred Stock was $1.3 million. In addition, in connection with the completion of the offer to purchase the Company paid $7.4 million accumulated but unpaid dividends on its Preferred Stock. With the total cash payment of $8.7 million, the Company eliminated $109.5 million of liquidation preference on its Preferred Stock. After the completion of the Offer to Purchase, the Company has outstanding $52.3 million liquidation preference of Series B and Series C Preferred Stock.

In connection with the Offer to Purchase, the Company filed Articles of Amendment to its charter with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland to modify the terms of each of its 9.375% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and 9.125% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock to (i) make dividends, if any, non-cumulative, (ii) eliminate the provisions prohibiting the payment of dividends on junior stock and prohibiting the purchase or redemption of junior or parity stock if full cumulative dividends for all past dividend periods are not paid or declared and set apart for payment, (iii) eliminate any premiums payable upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, (iv) eliminate the provision prohibiting the Company from electing to redeem Preferred Stock prior to the fifth year anniversary of the issuance of such Preferred Stock, (v) eliminate the provision prohibiting the Company from redeeming less than all of the outstanding Preferred Stock if full cumulative dividends for all past dividend periods have not been paid or declared and set apart for payment, (vi) eliminate the right of holders of preferred stock to elect two directors if dividends are in arrears for six quarterly periods and (vii) eliminate the right of holders of Preferred Stock to consent to or approve the authorization or issuance of Preferred Stock senior to the preferred stock.

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, the Company’s sources of cash flow earnings also included real estate advisory fees. The real estate advisory agreement was terminated in the fourth quarter of 2008 and we received a fee of $27.0 million for agreeing to terminate this relationship. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, we earned $4.7 million and $8.5 million, respectively in real estate advisory fees.

The primary use of liquidity within discontinued operations continues to be the Company’s restructured reverse repurchase financing (Restructured Financing). As of June 30, 2009, the balance of the Restructured Financing was $171.7 million secured by loans held for sale with an unpaid principal balance of $184.7 million, restricted cash of $19.9 million and certain real estate owned. Principal and interest received on the underlying collateral is remitted to the lender monthly. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, the Company paid an additional $4.5 million and $9.0 million in payments, used by the lender to offset interest and settlement shortfalls, as required under the restructured terms.

If we are not successful in (i) realizing cash flows from our residual interests in securitizations and (ii) realizing cash flows from new mortgage and real estate related fee-based businesses, we may not be able to satisfy our contractual obligations for 2010 and subsequent years, including repayment of the Restructured Financing and interest payments on long-term debt (which consists of trust preferred securities and junior subordinated notes).

To understand the financial position of the Company better, we believe it is important to understand the composition of the Company’s stockholders’ equity (deficit) and to which component of the business it relates. At June 30, 2009, the equity (deficit) within our continuing and discontinued operations was comprised of the following significant assets and liabilities:

	Condensed Components of Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)
	As of June 30, 2009
	Continuing			Discontinued
	Operations			Operations			Total
Cash	$	30,694		$	632		$	31,326
Short-term investments		5,026			-			5,026
Residual interests in securitizations		28,895			-			28,895
Long-term debt ($73,620 par)		(9,797	)		-			(9,797	)

(1)

Balance includes the net amount owed to our lender, which are guaranteed by IMH, and the repurchase reserve.

(2)

Guaranteed by IMH.

Continuing operations

At June 30, 2009, cash within our continuing operations decreased to $30.7 million from $46.2 million at December 31, 2008. The primary components of the change in cash between periods were the Company’s $5.0 million investment in highly liquid short-term investments during the first quarter of 2009 and its repurchase of preferred stock of $1.3 million and payment of $7.4 million in accumulated preferred stock dividends during the second quarter of 2009. Additionally, the Company paid $3.9 million to purchase and cancel $26.0 million in trust preferred securities.

Since our consolidated and unconsolidated securitization trusts are non-recourse, we have netted trust assets and liabilities to present the Company’s interest in these trusts more simply, which are considered our residual interests in securitizations. For unconsolidated securitizations our residual interests represent the fair value of investment securities available-for-sale. For consolidated securitizations, our residual interests are represented by the fair value of securitized mortgage collateral and real estate owned, offset by the fair value of securitized mortgage borrowings and net derivative liabilities. We receive cash flows from our residual interests in securitizations to the extent they are available after required distributions to bondholders and maintaining overcollateralization levels within the trusts. The estimated fair value of the residual interests, represented by the difference in the fair value of trust assets and trust liabilities, was $28.9 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $28.0 million at December 31, 2008.

At June 30, 2009, we had deferred charges of $13.1 million, which is amortized as a component of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the estimated life of the mortgages retained in the securitized mortgage collateral. The deferred charges represent the deferral of income tax expense on inter-company profits that resulted from the sale of mortgages from taxable subsidiaries to IMH in prior years. This balance is recorded as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and does not have any realizable cash value.

Net other assets include $2.5 million in premises and equipment, $0.5 million in investment in capital trusts, $1.3 million in restricted cash and $1.5 million in prepaid expenses.

Discontinued operations

The Company’s most significant liabilities at June 30, 2009 relate to its repurchase liabilities and a lease liability within discontinued operations.

The repurchase liabilities consist of a repurchase reserve and the net amount owed to our lender for the Restructured Financing, which is collateralized by loans held-for-sale, restricted cash balances and certain real estate owned. The balance of the Restructured Financing was approximately $171.7 million at June 30, 2009. We are currently distributing all principal and interest received from the collateral securing the Restructured Financing to the lender. Additionally, the Restructured Financing calls for monthly payments of $1.5 million.

We were required to make normal and customary representations and warranties about the loans we had previously sold to investors. Our whole loan sale agreements generally required us to repurchase loans if we breached a representation or warranty given to the loan purchaser. In addition, we also could be required to repurchase loans as a result of borrower fraud or if a payment default occurs on a mortgage loan shortly after its sale. The repurchase reserve is an estimate of losses from expected repurchases, and is based, in part, on the recent settlement of claims. At June 30, 2009, the repurchase reserve was $11.2 million.

In connection with the discontinuation of our non-conforming mortgage, retail mortgage, warehouse lending and commercial operations, a significant amount of office space that was previously occupied is no longer being used by the Company. The Company has subleased a significant amount of this office space. At June 30, 2009, the Company had a liability of $3.9 million included within discontinued operations, representing the present value of the minimum lease payments over the remaining life of the lease, offset by the expected proceeds from sublet revenue related to this office space.

Market Conditions

We believe there is currently no index for Alt-A mortgage product, but the general direction and magnitude of price movement in the ABX 2007-1index is reflective of the disruption in the market and general price movement experienced by the Company’s securities. The index, which does not include any IMH bonds, is being used for illustrative purposes only because it is a non-conforming single-family mortgage index that has traded consistently in recent years. The ABX 2007-1 Index illustrates market prices for designated groups of subprime securities by credit rating. The index is shown here as an illustration of the price volatility in the general non-conforming mortgage market since the beginning of 2007 and does not reflect actual pricing on IMH bonds, which are backed by Alt-A loans rather than subprime loans. As shown below, the ABX 2007-1 Index displays dramatic declines in the value of such securities.

Effects of Recent Market Activity

As a result of the Company’s inability to sell or securitize non-conforming loans during the second half of 2007, the Company discontinued funding loans. As a result, the Company discontinued substantially all of its mortgage (non-conforming single-family loans and commercial loans, which consist primarily of multi-family loans) and warehouse lending operations. Market conditions deteriorated in 2008 and continue to be depressed in 2009. As a result, the Company’s investment in securitized non-conforming loans (residual interests) has been affected by the increase in estimated defaults and severities, evidenced by significant home price depreciation. The decline in single-family home prices can be seen in the chart below.

As depicted in the chart above, average home prices peaked in June 2006 at 226.29 and continued their dramatic decline through May 2009. The Standard & Poor’s Case-Shiller 10-City Composite Home Price Index (the Index) for May 2009 was 151.0 (with the base of 100.00 for January 2000) and hasn’t been this low since June 2003 when the Index was 149.7. Beginning in the third quarter of 2007, the Company believes there is a correlation between the borrowers’ perceived equity in their homes and defaults. The original loan-to-value (defined as loan amount as a percentage of collateral value, “LTV”) and original combined loan-to-value (defined as first lien plus total subordinate liens to collateral value, “CLTV”) ratios of single-family mortgages remaining in the Company’s securitized mortgage collateral as of June 30, 2009 was 72 percent and 81 percent, respectively. The current LTV and CLTV ratios likely increased from origination date as a result of the deterioration in the real estate market. We believe that home prices that have declined below the borrower’s original purchase price have a higher risk of default within our portfolio. Based on the Index, home prices have declined 33 percent through May 2009 from the 2006 peak. Further, we believe the home prices in California and Florida, the states with the highest concentration of our mortgages, have declined even further than the Index. We have considered the deterioration in home prices in our loss estimates, which are a primary assumption used in the valuation of securitized mortgage collateral and borrowings.

Critical Accounting Policies

Several of the critical accounting policies important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations require management to make difficult and complex judgments that rely on estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain due to the affect of changing market conditions and/or consumer behavior. We believe our most critical accounting policies relate to the valuation of: (1) assets and liabilities that are highly dependent on internal valuation models and assumptions rather than market quotations (see Fair Value of Financial Instruments discussion below); (2) derivatives and other hedging instruments; (3) real estate owned and loans held-for-sale, including estimates of fair value, and related lower of cost or market (LOCOM) valuation reserve; and (4) repurchase reserve (included in liabilities of discontinued operations). Refer to our report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 for further discussion of our critical accounting policies and judgments.

Management discusses its critical accounting policies and related estimates with the Company’s Audit Committee on a regular basis. We believe the judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are appropriate given the factual circumstances at the time. However, given the sensitivity of our consolidated financial statements to these critical accounting policies, the use of other judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in material differences in our results of operations or financial condition.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and outlines a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (also referred to as an exit price). SFAS 157 categorizes fair value measurements into a three-level hierarchy based on the extent to which the measurement relies on observable market inputs in measuring fair value. Level 1, which is the highest priority in the fair value hierarchy, is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 is based on observable market-based inputs, other than quoted prices, in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 3, which is the lowest priority in the fair value hierarchy, is based on unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities are classified within this hierarchy in their entirety based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The use of fair value to measure our financial instruments is fundamental to our financial statements and is a critical accounting estimate because a substantial portion of our assets and liabilities are recorded at estimated fair value. Financial instruments classified as Level 3 are generally based on unobservable inputs, and the process to determine fair value is generally more subjective and involves a high degree of management judgment and assumptions. These assumptions may have a significant effect on our estimates of fair value, and the use of different assumptions, as well as changes in market conditions, could have a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

As a result of the lack of observable market data resulting from inactive markets, the Company has classified all its investment securities available-for-sale, securitized mortgage collateral and borrowings, net derivative liabilities and long-term debt as Level 3 fair value measurements at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Level 3 assets and liabilities were 100 percent of total assets and liabilities at fair value at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

The Company adopted FSP No. SFAS 157-4 “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (FSP 157-4) effective April 1, 2009. The FSP addresses measuring fair value under SFAS 157 in situations where the volume and level of market activity has significantly decreased and transactions are not orderly. Under the provisions of the FSP, transactions or quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value for assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

There is little information, if any, to evaluate if individual transactions are orderly in an inactive market. Accordingly, the Company is required to evaluate the facts and circumstances to determine whether the transaction is orderly based on the weight of the evidence. The FSP does not designate a specific method for adjusting a transaction or quoted price, however, it does provide guidance for determining how much weight to give a transaction or quoted price. Price quotes derived from transactions that are not orderly are not considered to be determinative of fair value and should be given less weight, if any, when measuring fair value.

FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning April 1, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of FSP 157-4 on April 1, 2009, resulted in a positive net change of $13.3 million included in change in fair value of net trust assets in the consolidated statements of operations. Offsetting the positive net change at adoption were decreases in the fair values of trust assets and trust liabilities as a result of the Company increasing loss assumptions for its long-term mortgage portfolio due to increases in expected defaults and loss severities related to the weak economy and housing market.

Recurring basis

Investment securities available-for-sale—The Company elected to carry all of its investment securities available-for-sale at fair value. The investment securities consist primarily of non-investment grade mortgage-backed securities. The fair value of the investment securities are measured based upon our expectation of inputs that other market participants would use. Such assumptions include our judgments about the underlying collateral, prepayment speeds, credit losses, and certain other factors. Given the market disruption and lack of observable market data as of June 30, 2009, the fair value of the investment securities available-for-sale were measured using significant internal expectations of market participants’ assumptions.

Securitized mortgage collateral—The Company elected to carry all of its securitized mortgage collateral at fair value. These assets consist primarily of non-conforming single-family residential and multi-family mortgage loans securitized between 2002 and 2007. Fair value measurements are based on the Company’s internal models used to compute the net present value of future expected cash flows with market participant assumptions, where available. The Company’s assumptions include our expectations of inputs that other market participants would use in pricing these assets. These assumptions include our judgments about the underlying collateral, prepayment speeds, estimated future credit losses, forward interest rates, investor yield requirements and certain other factors.

Derivative assets and liabilities—For non-exchange traded contracts, fair value is based on the amounts that would be required to settle the positions with the related counterparties as of the valuation date. Valuations of derivative assets and liabilities are based on observable market inputs, if available. To the extent observable market inputs are not available, fair values measurements include the Company’s judgments about the future cash flows, forward interest rates and certain other factors, including counterparty risk. These values also take into account the Company’s own credit standing, to the extent applicable, thus included in the valuation of the derivative instrument is the value of the net credit differential between the counterparties to the derivative contract.

The Company’s primary objective is to limit the exposure to the variability in future cash flows attributable to the variability of one-month LIBOR, which is the underlying index of adjustable rate securitized mortgage borrowings. The Company also monitors on an ongoing basis the prepayment risks that arise in fluctuating interest rate environments. The Company’s interest rate risk management policies are formulated with the intent to offset the potential adverse effects of changing interest rates on securitized mortgage borrowings.

To mitigate exposure to the effect of changing interest rates on cash flows on securitized mortgage borrowings, the Company purchased derivative instruments primarily in the form of interest rate swap agreements (swaps) and, to a lesser extent, interest rate cap agreements (caps) and interest rate floor agreements (floors). Due to the closure of the mortgage operations, the Company has not entered into a new derivative instrument since the third quarter of 2007.

On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (LBHI) filed a petition for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As of that date, LBHI, through affiliated companies, was an interest rate swap counterparty to several of the Company’s CMO and REMIC securitizations. At June 30, 2009, the estimated value of derivative liabilities to LBHI, through its affiliated companies was approximately $78.0 million and is included in derivative liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. As the related securitization trusts are non-recourse to the Company, the Company is not required to replace or otherwise settle any derivative positions affected by counterparty default within the consolidated trusts.

Non-recurring basis

The Company is required to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value. These fair value measurements typically result from the application of specific accounting pronouncements under GAAP. The fair value measurements are considered non-recurring fair value measurements under SFAS 157.

Real estate owned - REO, which consists of residential real estate acquired in satisfaction of loans, is carried at net realizable value. Upon foreclosure, REO is adjusted to the estimated fair value of the residential real estate less estimated selling and holding costs, offset by expected mortgage insurance proceeds to be received, if any. Subsequently, REO is recorded at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell. Fair values of REO are generally based on appraisals or market prices, and considered Level 2 measurements at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Lease liability – In connection with the discontinuation of our non-conforming mortgage, retail mortgage, warehouse lending and commercial operations, a significant amount of office space that was previously occupied is no longer being used by the Company. The Company has subleased a significant amount of this office space. The Company has recorded a liability, included within discontinued operations, representing the fair value of the minimum lease payments over the remaining life of the lease, offset by the expected proceeds from sublet revenue related to this office space. This liability is based on the present value techniques that incorporate the Company’s judgments about estimated sublet revenue and discount rates. Therefore, this liability is considered a Level 3 measurement at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

We continue to refine our valuation methodologies as markets and products develop and the pricing for certain products becomes more or less transparent. While we believe our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those of other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a materially different estimate of fair value as of the reporting date.

Interest Income and Expense

Interest income on securitized mortgage collateral and interest expense on securitized mortgage borrowings are recorded using the effective yield for the period based on the previous quarter’s estimated fair value.

Discontinued Operations

Net loss of $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $10.4 million for the comparable 2008 period.

Estimated Taxable Income

While the Company has generated significant net operating loss carryforwards in recent periods, we do not expect to generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to be able to realize these tax benefits. Therefore, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets as we believe that as of June 30, 2009 it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be recoverable.

Total assets and total liabilities were $6.5 billion at June 30, 2009 as compared to $6.7 billion at December 31, 2008. The decrease in total assets and liabilities are primarily attributable to decreases in the Company’s trust assets and trust liabilities as summarized below:

Securitized mortgage collateral increased $124.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in securitized mortgage collateral from $5.9 billion at December 31, 2008 to $6.0 billion at June 30, 2009 was primarily due to the adoption of FSP 157-4, which clarified the use of quoted prices in determining fair values in markets that are inactive, thus moderating the need to use distressed prices in valuing financial assets and liabilities in illiquid markets as the Company had used in prior periods. The increase in fair value was offset by increased loss assumptions and reductions in principal balances during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, increases in fair value totaled $755.7 million, offset by reductions in principal balances (resulting from transfers to REO and principal paydowns) of $631.8 million.

REO within the Company’s securitization trusts decreased $324.6 million to $274.5 million at June 30, 2009. Increases in REO from foreclosures totaled $192.0 million. Offsetting the increase in REO from foreclosures were $423.3 million in liquidations and $93.3 million in additional lower of cost or market write-downs subsequent to foreclosure.

Securitized mortgage borrowings decreased $113.3 million to $6.1 billion at June 30, 2009. The decrease in securitized mortgage borrowings was primarily due to the adoption of FSP 157-4, which clarified the use of quoted prices in determining fair values in markets that are inactive, thus moderating the need to use distressed prices in valuing financial asset and liabilities in illiquid markets as the Company had used in prior periods. The increase in fair value was offset by increased loss assumptions and reductions in principal balances during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, increases in fair value totaled $930.2 million, offset by reductions in outstanding balances of $1.0 billion.

Derivative liabilities, net decreased $88.9 million during the quarter to $184.7 million at June 30, 2009. The decrease is the result of a $20.3 million negative change in fair value, offset by cash payments from the securitization trusts of $109.2 million.

Since our consolidated and unconsolidated securitization trusts are non-recourse to the Company, our economic risk is limited to our residual interests in these securitization trusts. Therefore, in the following table we have netted trust assets and trust liabilities to present these residual interests more simply. Our residual interests in securitizations are segregated between our single-family (SF) residential and multi-family (MF) residential portfolios and are represented by the difference between trust assets and trust liabilities. For unconsolidated securitizations, our residual interests represent the fair value of investment securities available-for-sale. For consolidated securitizations, our residual interests are represented by the fair value of securitized mortgage collateral and net realizable value of real estate owned, offset by the fair value of securitized mortgage borrowings and net derivative liabilities. The following tables present the estimated fair value of our residual interests by securitization vintage year and other related assumptions used to derive these values at June 30, 2009:

			Estimated Fair Value of Residual Interests by Vintage Year

2002-2003	(1	)	$	10,079	$	6,683	$	16,762

(1)

2002-2003 vintage year includes CMO 2007-A, since the majority of the mortgages collateralized in this securitization were originated during this period.

(2)

The estimated fair values of residual interests in vintage years 2005 through 2007 is reflective of higher estimated future losses and investor yield requirements compared to earlier vintage years.

The fair value of trust assets is essentially the fair value of trust liabilities plus the fair value of the residual interests. The credit loss, prepayment and forward interest rate assumptions used in the fair value process were the same for trust assets, trust liabilities and residual interests, as the collateral assumptions determine collateral cash flows which are used to pay the bonds and residual interests. The only difference in assumptions was between the investor yield requirements on trust assets and liabilities (trust liabilities were slightly less on those securitization trusts with residual interests) and the discount rates used for residual interests. The table below reflects the estimated future credit losses and investor yield requirements for trust assets by product (SF and MF) and securitization vintage:

	Estimated Future Losses (1)						Investor Yield Requirement (2)
	SF			MF			SF			MF
2002-2003		7	%		2	%		14	%		14	%

2007		43	%		15	%		25	%		20	%

Estimated future losses derived by dividing future projected losses by unpaid principal balances at June 30, 2009.

Investor yield requirements represent the Company’s estimate of the yield third-party market participants would require to price our trust assets and liabilities given our prepayment, credit loss and forward interest rate assumptions.

The adoption of FSP 157-4 clarified the use of quoted prices in determining fair value for assets and liabilities in inactive markets. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction. Upon adoption and at June 30, 2009, the Company relied on observable market participant assumptions for investor yield requirements resulting in an overall decrease in weighted average yield requirements as compared to prior periods. The increases in fair value as a result of decreased yield requirements was offset by increased loss assumptions due to increases in expected defaults and severities related to the weak economy and housing market.

We believe that in order for us to generate cash flows from the long-term mortgage portfolio, we must successfully manage the following operational and market risks:

· liquidity risk;

· credit risk;

· interest rate risk; and

· prepayment risk.

Liquidity Risk. Refer to “Status of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Credit risk. We manage credit risk by actively managing delinquencies and defaults through our servicers. Starting with the second half of 2007 we have not retained any mortgages in our long-term mortgage portfolio. Our securitized mortgage collateral primarily consists of Alt-A mortgages which are generally within typical Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines but have loan characteristics, which may include higher loan balances, higher loan-to-value ratios or lower documentation requirements (including stated-income loans), that make them non-conforming under those guidelines.

As of June 30, 2009, single-family and multi-family securitized mortgage collateral had an original weighted average credit score of 701 and 731, an original weighted average LTV ratio of 73 and 66 percent and an original CLTV of 83 percent and 66 percent, respectively. The current LTV and CLTV ratios likely have increased from origination date as a result of the deterioration of the real estate market.

Using historical losses, current portfolio statistics and market conditions and available market data, the Company has estimated future loan losses, which are included in the fair value adjustment to our securitized mortgage collateral. While the credit performance for the loans has been clearly far worse than the Company’s initial expectations when the loans were originated, the ultimate level of realized losses will largely be influenced by events that will likely unfold over the next several years, including the severity of housing price declines and overall strength of the economy. If market conditions continue to deteriorate in excess of our expectations, the Company may need to recognize additional fair value reductions to our securitized mortgage collateral, which may also affect the value of the related securitized mortgage borrowings.

We monitor our servicers to attempt to ensure that they perform loss mitigation, foreclosure and collection functions according to their servicing practices and each securitization trust’s pooling and servicing agreement. We have met with the management of our servicers to assess our borrowers’ current ability to pay their mortgages and to make arrangements with selected delinquent borrowers which will result in the best interest of the trust, borrower and the Company, in an effort to minimize the number of mortgages which become seriously delinquent. When resolving delinquent mortgages, servicers are required to take timely action. The servicer is required to determine payment collection under various circumstances, which will result in the maximum financial benefit. This is accomplished by either working with the borrower to bring the mortgage current or by foreclosing and liquidating the property. When a borrower fails to make required payments on a mortgage and does not cure the delinquency within 60 days, we generally record a notice of default and commence foreclosure proceedings, or arrange alternative terms of forbearance. If the mortgage is not reinstated within the time permitted by law for reinstatement, the property may then be sold at a foreclosure sale. At a foreclosure sale, the trusts consolidated on our balance sheet generally acquire title to the property.

We use the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) method to define delinquency as a contractually required payment being 30 days or more past due. We measure delinquencies from the date of the last payment due date in which a payment was received. Delinquencies for loans 60 days late or greater, foreclosures and delinquent bankruptcies were $3.5 billion or 24.9 percent as of June 30, 2009.

The following table summarizes the unpaid principal balances of non-performing loans in our mortgage portfolio, included in securitized mortgage collateral, loans held-for-investment and loans held-for-sale for continuing and discontinued operations combined, that were 60 or more days delinquent (utilizing the MBA method) for the periods indicated:

The following table summarizes securitized mortgage collateral, loans held-for-investment, loans held-for-sale and real estate owned, that were non-performing for continuing and discontinued operations combined for the periods indicated (excludes 60-89 days delinquent):

	At June 30,					At December 31,
	2009		%			2008		%
90 or more days delinquent, foreclosures and delinquent bankruptcies	$	3,166,056		92	%	$	3,040,291		83	%
Real estate owned		284,069		8	%		606,451		17	%
Total non-performing assets	$	3,450,125		100	%	$	3,646,742		100	%

Non-performing assets consist of non-performing loans (mortgages that are 90 days or more delinquent, including loans in foreclosure and delinquent bankruptcies) plus REO. It is our policy to place a mortgage on non-accrual status when it becomes 90 days delinquent and to reverse from revenue any accrued interest, except for interest income on securitized mortgage collateral when the scheduled payment is received from the servicer. The servicers are required to advance principal and interest on loans within the securitization trusts to the extent the advances are considered recoverable. As of June 30, 2009, non-performing assets (representing the fair value of loans 90 or more days delinquent, foreclosures and delinquent bankruptcies plus REO) as a percentage of the total assets was 20 percent. At December 31, 2008, non-performing assets to total assets was 26 percent.

REO, which consists of residential real estate acquired in satisfaction of loans, is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value less estimated selling costs. Adjustments to the carrying value of REO at the time of foreclosure are included in the change in the fair value of net trust assets. Changes in the Company’s estimates of net realizable value subsequent to the time of foreclosure and through the time of ultimate disposition are recorded as gains or losses from real estate owned in the consolidated statements of operations. REO, for continuing and discontinued operations, at June 30, 2009 decreased $324.7 million or 54 percent from December 31, 2008 as a result of increased liquidations during the six month period ended June 30, 2009. Foreclosures continue to increase resulting from higher delinquencies and deterioration in the prevailing real estate market and, in part, due to borrowers’ inability to obtain replacement financing.

We realized a loss on sale of real estate owned in the amount $37.6 million and $81.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to gains of $1.8 million and $5.2 million, respectively for the comparable 2008 periods. Additionally, during the three and six month ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded write-downs of the net realizable value of the REO in the amount of $9.1 million and $93.3 million, respectively, compared to $6.6 million and $14.3 million, respectively for the comparable 2008 periods. These write-downs of the net realizable value reflect declines in value of the REO subsequent to foreclosure date.

The following table presents the balances of REO for continuing operations:

	At June 30, 2009			At December 31, 2008
REO	$	338,614		$	635,285
Impairment (1)		(63,567	)		(35,533	)
Ending balance	$	275,047		$	599,752

REO inside trusts	$	274,481		$	599,084
REO outside trusts (2)		566			668
Total	$	275,047		$	599,752

(1)

Impairment represents the cumulative write-downs of net realizable value subsequent to foreclosure.

(2)

In calculating the cash flows to assess the fair value of the securitized mortgage collateral, the Company estimates the future losses embedded in our loan portfolio. In evaluating the adequacy of these losses, management takes many factors into consideration. For instance, a detailed analysis of historical loan performance data is accumulated and reviewed. This data is analyzed for loss performance and prepayment performance by product type, origination year and securitization issuance. The data is also broken down by collection status. Our estimate of losses for these loans is developed by estimating both the rate of default of the loans and the amount of loss in the event of default. The rate of default is assigned to the loans based on their attributes (e.g., original loan-to-value, borrower credit score, documentation type, geographic location, etc.) and collection status. The rate of default is based on analysis of migration of loans from each aging category. The loss severity is determined by estimating the net proceeds from the ultimate sale of the foreclosed property. The results of that analysis are then applied to the current mortgage portfolio and an estimate is created. We believe that pooling of mortgages with similar characteristics is an appropriate methodology in which to evaluate the future loan losses.

Management recognizes that there are qualitative factors that must be taken into consideration when evaluating and measuring losses in the loan portfolios. These items include, but are not limited to, economic indicators that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay, changes in value of collateral, political factors, market conditions, competitor’s performance, market perception, historical losses, and industry statistics. The assessment for losses, is based on delinquency trends and prior loss experience and management’s judgment and assumptions regarding various matters, including general economic conditions and loan portfolio composition. Management continually evaluates these assumptions and various relevant factors affecting credit quality and inherent losses.

Interest Rate Risk. Refer to Item 3. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

Prepayment Risk. The Company historically used prepayment penalties as a method of partially mitigating prepayment risk for those borrowers that have the ability to refinance. Mortgage industry evidence suggests that changes in home appreciation rates and lower payment option mortgage products had been a significant factor affecting borrowers refinancing decisions. However, the recent economic downturn, lack of available credit and decline in property values has limited borrowers’ ability to refinance. Additionally, as mortgage rates increase and housing prices decline, borrowers will find it more difficult to refinance to obtain cheaper financing. If borrowers are unable to pay their mortgage payments at the adjusted rate, delinquencies may increase. The three-month average combined voluntary prepayment rate of single-family and multi-family loans held as securitized mortgage collateral increased to 14 percent at June 30, 2009 from 10 percent as of December 31, 2008.

Net Interest Income

We earn net interest income primarily from mortgage assets which include securitized mortgage collateral, loans held-for-sale and investment securities available-for-sale, or collectively, “mortgage assets,” and, to a lesser extent, interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents. Interest expense is primarily interest paid on borrowings on mortgage assets, which include securitized mortgage borrowings. Interest income and interest expense during the period represents the effective yield, based on the fair value of the trust assets and liabilities.

The following tables summarize average balance, interest and weighted average yield on mortgage assets and borrowings, included within continuing and discontinued operations, for the periods indicated. Cash receipts and payments on derivative instruments hedging interest rate risk related to our securitized mortgage borrowings are not included in the results below. These cash receipts and payments are included as a component of the change in fair value of net trust assets.

(1)

The held-for-sale balance excludes the lower of cost or market (LOCOM) write-down on the loans.

(2)

Net interest spread on mortgage assets is calculated by subtracting the weighted average yield on total borrowings on mortgage assets from the weighted average yield on total mortgage assets.

(3)

Net interest margin on mortgage assets is calculated by subtracting interest expense on total borrowings on mortgage assets from interest income on total mortgage assets and then dividing by total average mortgage assets.

Net interest income spread for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $4.7 million to $2.9 million from $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in net interest spread was primarily attributable to overall declines in averages balances between periods, coupled with a decrease in the net interest margin from 0.26 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to 0.16 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the yield on mortgage assets increased to 25.60 percent from 14.11 percent in the comparable 2008 period. The yield on total borrowings increased to 25.09 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from 13.58 percent for comparable 2008 period. In connection with the fair value accounting for investment securities available-for-sale and securitized mortgage collateral and borrowings, interest income and interest expense is recognized using effective yields based on estimated fair values for these instruments. As the market’s expectation of future credit losses has increased between periods, market participants have demanded higher yields, which have resulted in significant reductions in the fair values of these instruments. These reductions in fair value have significantly increased the effective yields used for purposes of recognizing interest income and interest expense on these instruments.

(1)

The held-for-sale balance excludes the lower of cost or market (LOCOM) write-down on the loans.

(2)

Net interest spread on mortgage assets is calculated by subtracting the weighted average yield on total borrowings on mortgage assets from the weighted average yield on total mortgage assets.

(3)

Net interest income spread for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $11.3 million to $6.0 million from $17.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in net interest spread was primarily attributable to overall declines in averages balances between periods, coupled with a decrease in the net interest margin from 0.25 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to 0.18 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the yield on mortgage assets increased to 34.47 percent from 10.01 percent in the comparable 2008 period. The yield on total borrowings increased to 33.53 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from 9.59 percent for comparable 2008 period. In connection with the fair value accounting for investment securities available-for-sale and securitized mortgage collateral and borrowings, interest income and interest expense is recognized using effective yields based on estimated fair values for these instruments. As the market’s expectation of future credit losses has increased between periods, market participants have demanded higher yields, which have resulted in significant reductions in the fair values of these instruments. These reductions in fair value have significantly increased the effective yields used for purposes of recognizing interest income and interest expense on these instruments.

Non-interest income – net trust assets. Since our consolidated and unconsolidated securitization trusts are non-recourse to the Company, our economic risk is limited to our residual interests in these securitization trusts. To better understand the economics on our residual interests in securitizations, it is necessary to consider the net effect of changes in fair value of net trust assets and losses from real estate owned. All estimated future losses are included in the estimate of the fair value of securitized mortgage collateral and REO. Losses on REO are reported separately in the consolidated statement of operations as REO is a nonfinancial asset which is the only component of trust assets and liabilities that is not recorded at fair value. Therefore, REO value at the time of sale or losses from further write-downs are recorded separately in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The net effect of changes in value related to our investment in all trust assets and liabilities is shown as non-interest income—net trust assets, which includes losses from real estate owned. Non-interest income related to our net trust assets (residual interests in securitizations) was $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to a loss of $16.0 million in the comparable 2008 period. The individual components of the non-interest income from net trust assets were comprised of:

Change in fair value of net trust assets, excluding REO. For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized a $54.9 million gain from the change in fair value of net trust assets, excluding REO. The gain was the result of the adoption of FSP 157-4, which clarified the use of quoted prices in determining fair values in markets that are inactive, thus moderating the need to use distressed prices in valuing financial assets and liabilities in illiquid markets as the Company had used in prior periods. Offsetting the gain recognized in connection with the adoption of FSP 157-4 were declines in fair value resulting from the Company increasing its loss assumptions for its long-term mortgage portfolio due to the increase in expected defaults and loss severities related to the weak economy and housing market. The net gain recognized during the period was comprised of gains from the increase in fair value of investment securities-for-sale and securitized mortgage collateral of $0.8 million and $594.6 million, respectively. Offsetting these gains were losses resulting from increases in the fair value of securitized mortgage borrowings and derivative instruments, net of $536.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized an $11.2 million loss from the change in fair value of net trust assets, excluding REO. This loss was comprised of reductions in the fair value of investment securities available-for-sale and securitized mortgage collateral of $1.5 million and $19.1 million, respectively and increases in the fair value of securitized mortgage borrowings of $88.9 million. Offsetting these losses was a gain of $98.3 million resulting from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments. The overall losses were related to decreases in fair values resulting from increased investor yield requirements and estimated losses.

Losses from real estate owned. Losses from real estate owned were $46.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This loss was comprised of a $37.6 million loss on sale of real estate owned, coupled with $9.1 million in additional impairment write-downs during the period. During the second quarter of 2009, loss severities resulting from liquidations in areas where we have high concentration of foreclosed properties (such as California and Florida) have continued to increase over previous periods as a result of continued deterioration in the U.S. economy and real estate markets. These continued declines in housing prices have resulted in liquidations of foreclosed assets at prices below expected levels as well as additional impairment write-downs of REO since foreclosure.

Losses from real estate owned were $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, comprised of $1.8 million in gains from the sale of real estate owned, offset by $6.6 million in additional impairment write-downs.

Change in the fair value of long-term debt. Change in the fair value of long-term debt was a gain of $329 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to a loss of $1.0 million for the comparable 2008 period. Long-term debt (consisting of trust preferred securities and junior subordinated notes) is measured based upon an analysis prepared by the Company, which considers the Company’s own credit risk, including consideration of recent settlements with trust preferred debt holders and discounted cash flow analysis of junior subordinated notes. The $329 thousand and $(1.0) million change in fair value of long-term debt for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, was attributable to changes in overall estimated fair value for the securities during the periods.

Mortgage and real estate services fees. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company initiated various mortgage and real estate related fee-based businesses. The Company has begun to generate revenues from these businesses primarily from the Company’s long-term mortgage portfolio. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, mortgage and real estate services fees, which primarily include loan modification fees and monitoring and surveillance services fees, were $13.2 million compared to $1.6 million in monitoring fees in the comparable 2008 period.

The individual components of the non-interest income from net trust assets were comprised of:

Change in fair value of net trust assets, excluding REO. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized a $187.8 million gain from the change in fair value of net trust assets, excluding REO. The gain was the result of the adoption of FSP 157-4, which clarified the use of quoted prices in determining fair values in markets that are inactive, thus moderating the need to use distressed prices in valuing financial assets and liabilities in illiquid markets as the Company had used in prior periods. Offsetting the gain recognized in connection with the adoption of FSP 157-4 were declines in fair value resulting from the Company increasing its loss assumptions for its long-term mortgage portfolio due to the increase in expected defaults and loss severities related to the weak economy and housing market. The net gain recognized during the period comprised of gains resulting from the increase in fair value of investment securities-for-sale and securitized mortgage collateral and a reduction in the fair value of securitized mortgage borrowings of $1.7 million, $45.6 million and $160.9 million, respectively. Offsetting these gains were losses from the change in fair value of derivative instruments, net of $20.3 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized a $7.6 million loss from the change in fair value of net trust assets, excluding REO. This loss was comprised of losses resulting from the reductions in the fair value of investment securities available for sale, securitized mortgage collateral and derivative instruments of $5.8 million, $3.2 billion and $83.5 million, respectively. Offsetting these losses were gains from reductions in the fair value of securitized mortgage borrowings of $3.3 billion. The overall losses were related to decreases in fair values resulting from increased investor yield requirements and estimated losses.

Losses from real estate owned. Losses from real estate owned were $174.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This loss was comprised of an $81.6 million loss on sale of real estate owned, coupled with $93.3 million in additional impairment write-downs during the period. During the first six months of 2009, loss severities resulting from liquidations in areas where we have high concentration of foreclosed properties (such as California and Florida) have continued to increase significantly over previous periods as a result of continued deterioration in the U.S. economy and real estate markets. These continued declines in housing prices have resulted in liquidations of foreclosed assets at prices below expected levels as well as additional impairment write-downs of REO since foreclosure.

Losses from real estate owned were $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, comprised of $5.2 million in gains from the sale of real estate owned, offset by $14.3 million in additional impairment write-downs.

Change in the fair value of long-term debt. Change in the fair value of long-term debt was a gain of $341 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to a loss of $5.0 million for the comparable 2008 period. Long-term debt (consisting of trust preferred securities and junior subordinated notes) is measured based upon an analysis prepared by the Company, which considers the Company’s own credit risk, including consideration of recent settlements with trust preferred debt holders and discounted cash flow analysis of junior subordinated notes. The $341 thousand and $5.0 million change in fair value of long-term debt for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, was attributable to changes in overall estimated fair value for the securities during the periods.

Mortgage and real estate services fees. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company initiated various mortgage and real estate related fee-based businesses. The Company has begun to generate revenues from these businesses primarily from the Company’s long-term mortgage portfolio. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, mortgage and real estate services fees, which primarily include loan modification fees and monitoring and surveillance services fees, were $18.8 million compared to $4.2 million in monitoring fees in the comparable 2008 period.

Total operating expense	$	16,469	$	7,745	$	8,724		113	%

Total non-interest expense was $16.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $7.7 million for the comparable period of 2008. The $8.7 million increase in non-interest expense was primarily attributable to a $7.5 million increase in personnel expense over the previous period. The increase in personnel expense is attributable to a greater amount of the Company’s personnel being utilized within the continuing operations versus discontinued operations, as a result of our new mortgage and real estate related fee-based businesses. Additionally, in April 2009, the Company’s officers and directors gave notice of the surrender of an aggregate of 581,000 options and the Board accepted and approved the cancellation of those listed options. In connection with the cancellation of these options, the Company recognized non-cash compensation expense of approximately $1.7 million during the second quarter.

Net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2009 increased $19.3 million to net earnings of $2.5 million from a net loss of $16.8 million for the comparable period of 2008. This increase is primarily attributable to a $20.0 million increase in total non-interest income. Non-interest income from net trust assets increased $24.2 million to an $8.2 million gain in the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to a loss of $16.0 million for the comparable period in 2008. The increase in the fair value of net trust assets was primarily due to the adoption of FSP 157-4, which clarified the use of quoted prices in determining fair values in markets that are inactive, thus moderating the need to use distressed prices in valuing financial assets and liabilities in illiquid markets as the Company had used in prior periods. The increase in fair value was offset by increased loss assumptions and reductions in principal balances during the period. Other non-interest income decreased $5.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $(28) thousand from $5.5 million. The decrease is attributable to the elimination of real estate advisory fees that were terminated during the fourth quarter of 2008.

Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $26.5 million to net earnings of $2.3 million from a net loss of $24.2 million for the comparable period of 2008. This increase is primarily attributable to a $27.1 million increase in total non-interest income offset by a $4.4 million decrease in non-interest expense. Non-interest income from net trust assets increased $29.6 million to a $12.9 million gain in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to a loss of $16.7 million for the comparable period in 2008. The increase in the fair value of net trust assets was due to the adoption of FSP 157-4, which clarified the use of quoted prices in determining fair values in markets that are inactive, thus moderating the need to use distressed prices in valuing financial assets and liabilities in illiquid markets as the Company had used in prior periods. The increase in fair value was offset by increased loss assumptions and reductions in principal balances during the period. Other non-interest income decreased $7.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $(40) thousand, from $7.8 million in the comparable period. The change in other non-interest income is attributable to real estate advisory fees that were terminated during the fourth quarter of 2008. Non-interest expense and income taxes decreased $4.4 million to $17.5 million, primarily attributable to the reduction in the amortization of the deferred charge.

Mortgage and Real Estate Services

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company initiated various mortgage and real estate related fee-based businesses, including loan modifications, real estate disposition, monitoring and surveillance services, real estate brokerage and lending services and escrow services, and has begun to generate revenues from these businesses. These businesses are newly formed and currently generate fees primarily from the Company’s long-term mortgage portfolio, there remains uncertainty about their future success, including providing services to the marketplace.

Net loss	$	(6,591	)	$	(10,360	)	$	3,769			36	%

Net loss for discontinued operations was $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to a net loss of $10.4 million for the comparable period in 2008. Net interest income decreased $4.3 million to net interest expense of $1.1 million as a result of deterioration in loans held for sale and the resulting decreases in interest income. Recovery from repurchases decreased $7.3 million to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $8.4 million in the comparable period of 2008. The $7.3 million decrease is the result of changes in estimated repurchase obligations between periods, primarily related to favorable settlements of repurchase obligation during the first six months of 2008. The $8.5 million decrease in personnel expense during the six months ended June 30, 2009 over the comparable period was a result of a greater amount of the Company’s personnel being utilized within the continuing operations versus discontinued operations. As a result of the discontinuation of certain operations, non-interest expense and income taxes decreased $9.4 million between periods primarily due to a reductions of $4.2 million in occupancy expense (primarily composed of $2.6 million in gains resulting from the reduction in the lease liabilities as a result of changes in our expected minimum future lease payments), $2.4 million in legal and professional expense and $3.0 million in general and administrative expenses.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, in connection with the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of that date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s quarter ended June 30, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is party to litigation and claims which are normal in the course of our operations.

In the matter of Sheldon Pittleman v. Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. et al filed in the United States district Court, Central district California against IMH and several of its senior officers a Third Amended Complaint was filed. A motion to dismiss was filed by the defendants on December 15, 2008. On March 10, 2009, the court sustained the defendants’ motion to dismiss without leave to amend. The Plaintiffs have filed a Notice of Appeal of the Order Granting the Motion to Dismiss With Prejudice and the Judgment thereon on April 7, 2009.

Please refer to IMH’s report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 for a description of other litigation and claims.

ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS

There have been recent reports of litigation in the mortgage industry related to securitizations.

As defaults, delinquencies, foreclosures, and continuing losses in the real estate market continue, there have been recent lawsuits by various investors, insurers, underwriters and others against various participants in securitizations, such as sponsors, depositors, underwriters, and loan sellers. Some lawsuits have alleged that the mortgage loans had origination defects, that there were misrepresentations made about the mortgage loans and the parties failed to repurchase defective loans. Historically, we both securitized and sold mortgage loans to third parties that may have been deposited or included in pools for securitizations. In connection with these lawsuits, we may be asked to repurchase these mortgage loans, provide indemnification against such claims or we may become subject to litigation related to the securitizations. As a result, we may incur significant legal and other expenses in defending against claims and litigation and we may be required to pay settlement costs, damages, penalties or other charges which could adversely affect our financial results.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 includes a detailed discussion of our risk factors. The information presented below updates and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and information disclosed in that Form 10-K.
