NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands, except share and per share data or as otherwise indicated)

Note 1.—Summary of Business and Financial Statement Presentation

Business Summary

Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. (the Company or IMH) is a Maryland corporationfinancial services company incorporated in August 1995Maryland with the following direct and has the followingindirect wholly-owned subsidiaries: Integrated Real Estate Service Corporation (IRES), Impac Mortgage Corp. (IMC), IMH Assets Corp. (IMH Assets) and, Impac Funding Corporation (IFC).

and Copperfield Capital Corporation (CCC), which was created in the second quarter of 2020 to, among other activities, assist with managing mortgage loans held-for-sale, provide origination and servicing solutions focusing on loss mitigation strategies, including loan modifications and restructurings to assist borrowers.  The Company’s operations include the mortgage lending operations and real estate services conducted by IRES, IMC and IMCCCC and the long-term mortgage portfolio (residual interests in securitizations reflected as net trust assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets) conducted by IMH.  IMC’s mortgage lending operations include the activities of its division, CashCall Mortgage (CCM).Mortgage.

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 8-03 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 ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.2020. 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, 2016,2019, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).Commission.

All significant intercompany 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 period presentation.

Management has made a number of material 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.  Additionally, other items affected by such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of trust assets and trust liabilities, contingencies, the estimated obligation of repurchase liabilities related to sold loans, the valuation of long-term debt, mortgage servicing rights (MSR), mortgage loans held-for-sale (LHFS) and derivative instruments, including interest rate lock commitments (IRLC). Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Recent

Risks and Uncertainties

As the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its effects on the economy escalated in the United States in early March 2020, the financial markets destabilized resulting in economic disruption and substantial market volatility. The widening of nominal spreads resulted in a sudden and severe decline in the mark-to-market values of certain residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) assets. The crisis in the RMBS market was closely followed by a substantial widening of spreads on credit assets and a reduction in available liquidity to finance credit assets, including the sizable non-qualified mortgage (NonQM) position within the Company’s LHFS portfolio, causing a severe decline in the mark-to-market values assigned by counterparties.

In order to preserve liquidity, on March 30, 2020, the Company instituted a temporary suspension of all lending activities.  The Company satisfied all margin calls received, while also increasing unrestricted cash to $80.2 million at March 31, 2020.  Subsequent to March 31, 2020, the Company has continued to prioritize liquidity and de-risking the

consolidated balance sheet by materially reducing its exposure on the consolidated balance sheet through asset sales and debt repayments.

The reduction in LHFS and locked pipeline, reduction in MSRs and greater retention of uninvested cash to address the volatility in the market, is likely to result in diminished earning capacity for the Company for at least the next few quarters as the Company re-engaged lending activities in June 2020.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2020

In November 2015,August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-17, "Income Taxes2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification820).” The ASU eliminates disclosures such as the amount of Deferred Taxes." The amendments in ASU 2015-17 eliminate the current requirementand reasons for organizations to present deferred tax liabilitiestransfers between Level 1 and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The amendments may be applied prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company adopted this change prospectively on January 1, 2017 and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspectsLevel 2 of the accountingfair value hierarchy. The ASU adds new disclosure requirements for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows.Level 3 measurements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016.with early adoption permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures. The Company adopted this change prospectivelyguidance on January 1, 20172020, and did not adjust prior periods.  Thethe adoption of this ASU did not have a materialhad no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016,2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts2018-15, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Cash Payments.Other- Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40).This ASU addresses customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract and also adds certain disclosure requirements related to implementation costs incurred for internal-use software and cloud computing arrangements.

The amendments in this update aredevelop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). This ASU is effective for annual periodsfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017,2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years.years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020, and the adoption of this ASU had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted.  The Company early adopted ASU 2019-12 on a prospective basis on January 1, 2020 and the adoption of this ASU had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments (ASU 2019-04), which provided certain improvements to ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01) and ASU 2016-13. As the Company adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018, the improvements in ASU 2019-04 are effective in the first quarter of 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2016-13 in the first quarter of 2023, as described above, and the improvements in ASU 2019-04 will be adopted concurrently. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017,March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 718): Scope848), which provides optional guidance for a limited period of Modification Accounting.”  time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the benefits of) reference rate reform on financial reporting.

Note 3.—Mortgage Servicing Rights

The Company retains mortgage servicing rights (MSRs)MSRs from its sales and securitization of certain mortgage loans or as a result of purchase transactions. MSRs are reported at fair value based on the expected income derived from the net projected cash flows associated with the servicing contracts. The Company receives servicing fees, less subservicing costs, on the UPB of the underlying mortgage loans. The servicing fees are collected from the monthly payments made by the mortgagors, or if delinquent, when the underlying real estate is foreclosed upon and liquidated. The Company may receive other remuneration from rights to various mortgagor-contracted fees, such as late charges, collateral reconveyance charges and nonsufficient fund fees, and the Company is generally entitled to retain the interest earned on funds held pending remittance (or float) related to its collection of mortgagor principal, interest, tax and insurance payments.

Sensitivities are hypothetical changes in fair value and cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of changes in assumptions to changes in fair value may not be linear.  Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption is calculated without changing any other assumption, whereas a change in one factor may result in changes to another.  Accordingly, no assurance can be given that actual results would be consistent with the results of these estimates.  As a result, actual future changes in MSR values may differ significantly from those displayed above.

Loans Eligible for Repurchase from Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA or Ginnie Mae (GNMA)Mae)

The Company routinely sells loans in GNMA guaranteed mortgage‑backedmortgage-backed securities (MBS) by pooling eligible loans through a pool custodian and assigning rights to the loans to GNMA. When these GNMA loans are initially pooled and securitized, the Company meets the criteria for sale treatment and derecognizes the loans. The terms of the GNMA MBS program allow, but do not require, the Company to repurchase mortgage loans when the borrower has made no payments for three consecutive months. When the Company has the unconditional right, as servicer, to repurchase GNMA pool loans it has previously sold and are more than 90 days past due (whether or not in forbearance), and the repurchase will provide the Company with a more than trivial benefit, the Company then re-recognizes the loans on its consolidated balance sheets in other assets, at their unpaid principal balances,UPB, and records a corresponding liability in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.  At SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, loans eligible for repurchase from GNMA totaled $25.5$12.1 million and $9.9$1.7 million in UPB, respectively.  As part of the Company’s repurchase reserve, the Company records a repurchase provision to provide for estimated losses from the sale or securitization of all mortgage loans, including these loans.

The loans eligible for repurchase from GNMA are in the Company’s servicing portfolio.  The Company monitors the delinquency of the servicing portfolio and directs the subservicer to mitigate losses on delinquent loans.

Note 4.—DebtLeases

The Company has four operating leases for office space and certain office equipment under long-term leases expiring at various dates through 2024.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, cash paid for operating leases was $1.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively, while total operating lease expense was $1.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively.  Operating lease expense includes short-term leases and sublease income, both of which are immaterial.  During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized right of use (ROU) asset impairment of $393 thousand related to the consolidation of one floor of our corporate office, reducing the carrying value of the lease asset to its estimated fair value.  The impairment charge is included in general, administrative and other expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) earnings.  As of June 30, 2020, the Company had no additional operating or finance leases that had not yet commenced.

The following table presents the operating lease balances within the consolidated balance sheets, weighted average remaining lease term, and weighted average discount rates related to the Company’s operating leases as of June 30, 2020:

No gain or loss was recordedGNMA Financing and had no available capacity for borrowing as a result of the transaction.sale of the FHLMC servicing.

MSR Advance Financing

In April 2020, Ginnie Mae announced they revised and expanded their issuer assistance program to provide financing to fund servicer advances through the Pass-Through Assistance Program (PTAP).  The PTAP funds advanced by Ginnie Mae bear interest at a fixed rate that will apply to a given months pass-through assistance and will be posted on Ginnie Mae’s website each month. The maturity date is the earlier of the seven months from the month the request and repayment agreement was approved, or July 30, 2021.  At June 30, 2020, the Company had $448 thousand in approved PTAP funds outstanding at an interest rate of 5.7%.  In July 2020, the outstanding PTAP funds were repaid.

Convertible Notes

In May 2015, the Company issued an additional $25.0 million Convertible Promissory Notes (2015 Convertible Notes). to purchasers, some of which are related parties. The 2015 Convertible Notes were originally due to mature on or before May 9, 2020 and accrueaccrued interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum, to be paid quarterly. The Company hadTransaction costs of approximately $50 thousand in transaction costs, which were deferred and amortized over the life of the 2015 Convertible Notes.

Noteholders maycould convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the 2015 Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock (Conversion Shares) at a rate of $21.50 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits and dividends (Conversion Price). The Company has the right to convert the entire outstanding principal of the 2015 Convertible Notes into Conversion Shares at the Conversion Price if the market price per share of the common stock, as measured by the average volume-weighted closing stock price per share of the common stock on the NYSE AMERICAN (or any other U.S. national securities exchange then serving as the principal such exchange on which the shares of common stock are listed), reaches the level of $30.10 for any twenty (20) trading days in any period of thirty

Furthermore, if the conversion of the 2015 Convertible Notes by the Company occurs prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, then the entire amount of interest under the 2015 Convertible Notes through the third anniversary is immediately due and payable. To the extent the Company pays any cash dividends on its shares of common stock prior to conversion of the 2015 Convertible Notes, upon conversion of the 2015 Convertible Notes, the Noteholdersnoteholders will also receive such dividends on an as-converted basis of the 2015 Convertible Notes less the amount of interest paid by the Company prior to such dividend.

Long-term Debt

Trust Preferred Securities

During 2005, the Company formed four wholly‑owned trust subsidiaries (Trusts) for the purpose of issuing an aggregate of $99.2 million of trust preferred securities (Trust Preferred Securities). All proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities and the common securities issued by the Trusts were originally invested in $96.3 million of junior subordinated debentures (debentures), which became the sole assets of the Trusts. The Trusts paid dividends on the Trust Preferred Securities at the same rate as paid by the Company on the debentures held by the Trusts.

During 2008 and 2009, the Company purchased and cancelled $36.5 million in outstanding Trust Preferred Securities for $5.5 million. Additionally, during 2009, the Company exchanged an aggregate of $51.3 million in outstanding Trust Preferred Securities for $62.0 million in Junior Subordinated Notes. As a result of these transactions, $8.5 million in Trust Preferred Securities remained outstanding. 

On May 5, 2017, the Company agreed to exchange 412,264 shares of its common stock for the remaining Trust Preferred Securities which had an aggregate liquidation amount of $8.5 million issued by Impac Capital Trust #4.  Accrued and unpaid interest on the Trust Preferred Securities was paid inat a cash in the aggregate amount of approximately $14 thousand.  The interest rate on the Trust Preferred Securities was a variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum.  At the time of the exchange, the interest rate was 4.92%. 

The exchange was based on the carrying value of the trust preferred obligation, which was $5.6 million at March 31, 2017, and an agreed upon stock price that determined a fixed number of shares to be issued in the exchange.  However, because the measurement date of the exchange was the date the common stock was issued when the marketexercise price of the common stock was $17.06, the Company recorded a $1.3 million loss$2.97 per share. The warrants are exercisable commencing on extinguishment of debt for the difference in stock price from the agreed upon stock price to the stock priceOctober 16, 2020 and expire on the issuance date of the common stock.April 15, 2025.

Note 6.7.—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.

FASB ASC 825 requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments and the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate such fair values. The following table presents the estimated fair value of financial instruments included in the consolidated financial statements as of the dates indicated:

The fair value amounts above have been estimated 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 Company’s methodology to estimate fair value of these assets and liabilities include 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 the Company’s estimates of market participant requirements. The significant assumptions utilized in these internal pricing techniques, which are based on the characteristics of the underlying collateral, include estimated credit losses, estimated prepayment speeds and appropriate discount rates.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The application of fair value measurements may be on a recurring or nonrecurring 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.

FASB ASC 820-10-35 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those 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 (unadjusted) in active markets for identical instruments or liabilities that an entity has the ability to assess at measurement date.

·

Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for an asset or liability, including interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates; and market-corroborated inputs.

·

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

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

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

As a result of the lack of observable market data resulting from inactive markets, the Company has classified its investment securities available-for-sale, mortgage servicing rights, securitized mortgage collateral and borrowings, derivative assets and liabilities (trust and IRLCs)(IRLCs), and long-term debt as Level 3 fair value measurements. Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were approximately 87%99% and 99% and 92%77% and 99%, respectively, of total assets and total liabilities measured at estimated fair value at SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016, respectively.2019.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company assesses theits financial instruments on a quarterly basis to determine the appropriate classification within the fair value hierarchy, as defined by ASC Topic 810. Transfers between fair value classifications occur when there are changes in pricing observability levels. Transfers of financial instruments among the levels occur at the beginning of the reporting period. There were no material transfers between our Level 1, and Level 2 or Level 3 classified instruments during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.

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. Net interest income, including cash received and paid, was $2.0 million for three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2020. The difference between accretion of interest income and expense and the amounts of interest income and expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) earnings is primarily from contractual interest on the securitized mortgage collateral and borrowings.

(2)Amount represents the change in instrument specific credit risk in other comprehensive (loss) earnings in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) earnings and is included in unrealized (losses) gains still held for long-term debt.

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. Net interest income, including cash received and paid, was $7.3$4.2 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2019. The difference between accretion of interest income and expense and the amounts of interest income and expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) earnings is primarily from contractual interest on the securitized mortgage collateral and borrowings.

(2)Amount represents the change in instrument specific credit risk in other comprehensive (loss) earnings in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) earnings as required by the adoption of ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018.
(3)Represents the amount of unrealized gains (losses) relating to assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 that are still held and reflected in the fair values at June 30, 2019.

Probability of outcomes is the probability of projected CCM earnings over the earn-out period based upon three scenarios (base, low and high).

For assets and liabilities backed by real estate, a significant increase in discount rates, default rates or loss severities would result in a significantly lower estimated fair value.  The effect of changes in prepayment speeds would have differing effects depending on the seniority or other characteristics of the instrument.  For other assets and liabilities, a significant increase in discount rates would result in a significantly lower estimated fair value.  A significant

Table of Contents

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

Investment securities available-for-sale—Investment securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value. The investment securities consist primarily of non-investment grade mortgage-backed securities. The fair value of the investment securities is 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, future credit losses, forward interest rates and certain other factors. Given the lack of observable market data as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 relating to these securities, the estimated fair value of the investment securities available-for-sale was measured using significant internal expectations of market participants’ assumptions. Investment securities available-for-sale is considered a Level 3 measurement at September 30, 2016.

Mortgage servicing rights—The Company elected to carry its mortgage servicing rightsMSRs arising from its mortgage loan origination operationoperations at estimated fair value. The fair value of mortgage servicing rightsMSRs is based upon market prices for similar instrumentsan indicative bid at June 30, 2020 and a discounted cash flow model.model at December 31, 2019. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating the fair value of servicing. These assumptions include estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate, cost to service, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, prepayment and late fees, among other considerations. Mortgage servicing rightsMSRs are considered a Level 3 measurement at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2020.

Mortgage loans held-for-sale—The Company elected to carry its mortgage loans held-for-saleLHFS originated or acquired at estimated fair value. Fair value is based on quoted market prices, where available, prices for other traded mortgage loans with similar characteristics, and purchase commitments and bid information received from market participants. Given the meaningful level of secondary market activity for mortgage loans, active pricing is available for similar assets and accordingly, the Company classifies its mortgage loans held-for-saleLHFS as a Level 2 measurement at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2020.

Securitized mortgage collateral—The Company elected to carry 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, securitized mortgage collateral had UPB of $4.3$2.6 billion, compared to an estimated fair value on the Company’s balance sheet of $3.8$2.2 billion. The aggregate UPB exceedsexceeded the fair value by $0.5$0.4 billion at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2020. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, the UPB of loans 90 days or more past due was $0.6$0.4 billion compared to an estimated fair value of $0.2$0.1 billion. The aggregate UPB of loans 90 days or more past due exceedexceeded the fair value by $0.4$0.3 billion at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2020. Securitized mortgage collateral is considered a Level 3 measurement at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2020.

Securitized mortgage borrowings—The Company elected to carry 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 and assumptions such as prepayment speeds, estimated future credit losses, forward interest rates, investor yield requirements and certain other factors. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, securitized mortgage borrowings had an outstanding principal balance of $4.3$2.6 billion, net of $2.2 billion in bond losses, compared to an estimated fair value of $3.8$2.2 billion. The aggregate outstanding principal balance exceedsexceeded the fair value by $0.5$0.4 billion at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2020. Securitized mortgage borrowings are considered a Level 3 measurement at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2020.

Contingent consideration—Contingent consideration is applicable to the acquisition of CCM and is estimated and recorded at fair value at the acquisition date as part of purchase price consideration.  Additionally, each reporting period, the Company estimates the change in fair value of the contingent consideration and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations if it is determined to not be a measurement period adjustment.  The estimate of the fair value of contingent consideration requires significant judgment and assumptions to

22


be made about future operating results, discount rates and probabilities of various projected operating result scenarios. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the change in fair value of contingent consideration was related to a decrease in projected volumes and earnings of CCM.  Future revisions to these assumptions could materially change the estimated fair value of contingent consideration and materially affect the Company’s financial results. Contingent consideration is considered a Level 3 measurement at September 30, 2017.

Long-term debt—The Company elected to carry all of its remaining long-term debt (consisting of trust preferred securities and junior subordinated notes) at fair value. These securities are measured based upon an analysis prepared by management, which considered the Company’s own credit risk, including previous settlements with trust preferred debt holders and discounted cash flow analysis. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, long-term debt had UPB of $62.0 million compared to an estimated fair value of $44.6$41.8 million. The aggregate UPB exceedsexceeded the fair value by $17.4$20.2 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2020. The long-term debt is considered a Level 3 measurement at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2020.

Derivative assets and liabilities, Securitized trusts—For non-exchange traded contracts, fair value was 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 were based on observable market inputs, if available. To the extent observable market inputs were not available, fair values measurements include the Company’s judgments about future cash flows, forward interest rates and certain other factors, including counterparty risk. Additionally, these values also took into account the Company’s own credit standing, to the extent applicable; thus, the valuation of the derivative instrument included the estimated value of the net credit differential between the counterparties to the derivative contract. As of September 30, 2017, there were no derivative assets or liabilities in the securitized trusts. These derivatives were included in the consolidated securitization trusts, which are nonrecourse to the Company, and thus the economic risk from these derivatives was limited to the Company’s residual interests in the securitization trusts. Derivative assets and liabilities, securitized trusts were considered a Level 3 measurement in 2016.

Derivative assets and liabilities, Lendinglending—The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities are carried at fair value as required by GAAP and are accounted for as free standing derivatives. The derivatives include IRLCs with prospective residential mortgage borrowers whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the borrowers have locked in that interest rate. These commitments are determined to be derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP. The derivatives also include hedging instruments (typically TBA MBS) used to hedge the fair value changes associated with changes in interest rates relating to its mortgage lending originations as well as mortgage servicing rights.originations. The Company hedges the period from the interest rate lock (assuming a fall-out factor) to the date of the loan sale. The estimated fair value of IRLCs are based on underlying loan types with similar characteristics using the TBA MBS market, which is actively quoted and easily validated through external sources. The data inputs used in this valuation include, but are not limited to, loan type, underlying loan amount, note rate, loan program and expected sale date of the loan, adjusted for current market conditions. These valuations are adjusted at the loan level to consider the servicing release premium and loan pricing adjustments specific to each loan. For all IRLCs, the base value is then adjusted for the anticipated Pull-through Rate. The anticipated Pull-through Rate is an unobservable input based on historical experience, which results in classification of IRLCs as a Level 3 measurement at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2020.

The fair value of the Hedging Instruments is based on the actively quoted TBA MBS market using observable inputs related to characteristics of the underlying MBS stratified by product, coupon and settlement date. Therefore, the Hedging Instruments are classified as a Level 2 measurement at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.

2020.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company is required to measure certain assets and liabilities at estimated 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 nonrecurring fair value measurements under FASB ASC 820-10.

and are included in the nonrecurring fair value measurements tables. Fair values of REO are generally based on observable market inputs, and are considered Level 2 measurements at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2020.

Deferred charge— Deferred charge represents 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.

ROU asset impairmentThe Company evaluates the deferred chargeperforms reviews of its ROU assets for impairment quarterly using internal estimateswhen evidence exists that the carrying value of estimated cash flowsan asset may not be recoverable. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a $393 thousand ROU asset impairment charge related to the consolidation of one floor of our corporate office. The impairment charge is included in general, administrative and lives of the related mortgages retainedother expense in the securitized mortgage collateral. If the deferred charge is determined to be impaired, it is recognized as a componentconsolidated statements of income tax expense. Deferred charge isoperations and comprehensive (loss) earnings.  ROU asset was considered a Level 3 fair value measurement at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2020.

Note 7.8.—Income Taxes

The Company calculates its quarterly tax provision pursuant to the guidelines in ASC 740 Income Taxes.Taxes.  ASC 740 requires companies to estimate the annual effective tax rate for current year ordinary income. In calculating the effective tax rate, permanent differences between financial reporting and taxable income are factored into the calculation, butand temporary differences are not. The estimated annual effective tax rate represents the bestCompany’s estimate of the tax provision in relation to the best estimate of pre-tax ordinary income or loss. The estimated annual effective tax rate is then applied to year-to-date ordinary income or loss to calculate the year-to-date interim tax provision.

The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on a prospective basis on January 1, 2020. The most significant impact to the Company included the removal of the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items (for example, discontinued operations or other comprehensive income). The changes also add a requirement for an entity to reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.1 million$15 thousand and $3.6 million$51 thousand for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, respectively,2020, respectively. Tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily the result of state income taxes from states where the recognition of a deferred tax liability created by the amortization of an indefinite-life intangible asset (goodwill) and amortization of the deferred charge.Company does not have net operating loss carryforwards or state minimum taxes.  The deferred tax liability for indefinite-life intangibles cannot be included in the calculation of valuation allowance as these liabilities cannot be considered when determining the realizability of the net deferred tax assets.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded income tax benefitexpense of $130$81 thousand and $167 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.  Tax expense of $728 thousand, respectively,for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 is primarily the result of a return to provision adjustment for the 2015 tax return booked in the third quarter, amortization of the deferred charge, federal alternative minimum tax (AMT), and state income taxes from states where the Company does not have net operating loss carryforwards or state minimum taxes, including AMT. The deferred charge represents the deferral of income tax expense on inter-company profits that resultedoffset by a benefit resulting from the saleintraperiod allocation rules that are applied when there is a pre-tax loss from continuing operations and pre-tax income from other comprehensive income.

At June 30, 2020, the Company had accumulated other comprehensive (loss) earnings of mortgages from taxable subsidiaries to IMH prior to 2008. The deferred charge amortization and/or impairment,$23.9 million, which does not result in anywas net of tax liability to be paid, is calculated based on the change in the estimated fair value of the underlying securitized mortgage collateral during the period. 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.$11.3 million.

As of December 31, 2016,2019, the Company had estimated federal net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $581.8$566.6 million. Federal net operating lossNOL carryforwards begin to expire in 2027.  As of December 31, 2016,2019, the Company had estimated California net operating loss (NOL)NOL carryforwards of approximately $487.0$385.2 million, of which $86.9 millionbegin to expire in 2017.2028.  The Company may not be able to realize the maximum benefit due to the nature and tax entityentities that holdshold the NOL.

Note 8.9.—Reconciliation of (Loss) Earnings Per Common Share

Basic net (loss) earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earningsloss available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period (denominator). Diluted net (loss) earnings per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the if-converted

25


method. Dilutive potential common shares include shares issuable upon conversion of Convertible Notes, warrants, dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, andrestricted stock awards (RSA), restricted stock units (RSU), deferred stock units (DSUs).(DSU) and cumulative redeemable preferred stock outstanding for the periods indicated, when dilutive.

Number of shares presented in thousands.

At June 30, 2020, there were 1.0 million shares of stock options, RSA’s, RSU’s and DSU’s outstanding in the aggregate.  For Septemberthe three and six months ended June 30, 2017,2020 and 2019, there were 1.2 million anti-dilutive stock options outstanding. Thereshares attributable to the 2015 Convertible Notes that were 842 thousand anti-dilutive stock options outstandinganti-dilutive.  Additionally, for the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2020, there were 213 thousand warrants that were anti-dilutive.

In addition to the potential dilutive effects of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units and convertible notes listed above, see Note 12.—Equity and Share Based Payments, Redeemable Preferred Stock, for a description of cumulative undeclared dividends in arrears which would also become dilutive in the event the Company is not successful in its appeal of the original court ruling.

Note 10.11.—Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings  

The Company is a defendant in or a party to a number of legal actions or proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. In some of these actions and proceedings, claims for monetary damages are asserted against the Company. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such legal actions and proceedings, the Company generally cannot predict what the eventual outcome of the pending matters will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be, or what the eventual loss related to each pending matter may be, if any.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company establishes an accrued liability for litigation when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. In any case, there may be an exposure to losses in excess of any such amounts whether accrued or not. Any estimated loss is subject to significant

judgment and is based upon currently available information, a variety of assumptions, and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated loss will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. Therefore, an estimate of possible loss represents what the Company believes to be an estimate of possible loss only for certain matters meeting these criteria. It does not represent the Company’s maximum loss exposure.

Based on the Company’s current understanding of these pending legal actions and proceedings, management does not believe that judgments or settlements arising from pending or threatened legal matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows of the Company. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in these matters, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, and the very large or indeterminate damages sought in some of these matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.

The legal matter updates summarized below are ongoing and may have an effect on the Company’s business and future financial condition and results of operations:

On December 7, 2011, a purported class action was filed in the Circuit Court of Baltimore City entitled Timm, v. Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc, et al. alleging on behalf of holders of the Company’s 9.375% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (Preferred B) and 9.125% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (Preferred

C) who did not tender their stock in connection with the Company’s 2009 completion of its Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation that the Company failed to achieve the required consent of the Preferred B and C holders, the consents to amend the Preferred stock were not effective because they were given on unissued stock (after redemption), the Company tied the tender offer with a consent requirement that constituted an improper “vote buying” scheme, and that the tender offer was a breach of a fiduciary duty. The action seeks the payment of two quarterly dividends for the Preferred B and C holders, the unwinding of the consents and reinstatement of the cumulative dividend on the Preferred B and C stock, and the election of two directors by the Preferred B and C holders. The action also seeks punitive damages and legal expenses. On July 16, 2018, the Court entered a Judgement Order whereby it (1) declared and entered judgment in favor of all defendants on all claims related to the Preferred C holders and all claims against all individual defendants thereby affirming the validity of the 2009 amendments to the Series B Articles Supplementary; (2) declared its interpretation of the voting provision language in the Preferred B Articles Supplementary to mean that consent of two-thirds of the Preferred B stockholders was required to approve the 2009 amendments to the Preferred B Articles Supplementary, which consent was not obtained, thus rendering the amendments invalid and leaving the 2004 Preferred B Articles Supplementary in effect; (3) ordered the Company to hold a special election within sixty days for the Preferred B stockholders to elect two directors to the Board of Directors pursuant to the 2004 Preferred B Articles Supplementary (which Directors will remain on the Company’s Board of Directors until such time as all accumulated dividends on the Preferred B have been paid or set aside for payment); and, (4) declared that the Company is required to pay three quarters of dividends on the Preferred B stock under the 2004 Articles Supplementary (approximately, $1.2 million, but did not order the Company to make any payment at this time). The Court declined to certify any class pending the outcome of appeals and certified its Judgment Order for immediate appeal.  On October 2, 2019, the appellate court held oral argument for all appeals in the matter.  On February 5, 2020, the Court of Special Appeal requested that the parties provide a supplemental memorandum explaining the appealability of the original circuit court opinion which the Company responded to on February 21, 2020.  On April 1, 2020, the Court of Special Appeal issued an opinion affirming the judgment in favor of plaintiffs on the Series B voting rights arguing that the voting rights provision was not ambiguous.  In response, the Company filed a petition for a writ of certiorari to the Maryland Court of Appeal appealing the Court of Special Appeals opinion.  The petition was submitted by the Company on May 20, 2020, the plaintiffs responded on June 4, 2020, and the Company submitted a reply brief on June 15, 2020.  The Maryland Court of Appeals granted the writ of certiorari on July 13, 2020.

On April 30, 2012, a purported class action was filed entitled Marentes v. Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc., alleging that certain loan modification activities of the Company constitute an unfair business practice, false advertising and marketing, and that the fees charged are improper. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, restitution, injunctive relief, attorney’s fees and prejudgment interest. Phase oneOn August 22, 2012, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint adding Impac Funding Corporation as a defendant and on October 2, 2012, the plaintiffs dismissed Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc., without prejudice. On January 11, 2019, the trial court determined that the plaintiffs were unable to prove their case and ordered that judgment be entered in favor of the trialdefendant.  On April 19, 2019, the plaintiffs filed their Notice of Appeal and the plaintiffs filed their opening brief on October 31, 2019.  The Company filed its response on February 19, 2020.  The plaintiffs filed their appellate reply on May 26, 2020.  The Court has set August 17, 2020 for this matter has been continued, with the parties scheduled to return to court on November 29, 2017, for a status conference. oral arguments.  

The Company is a party to other litigation and claims which are normal in the course of ourthe Company’s operations. While the results of such other litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims and intends 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 its financial condition or results of operations. Nevertheless, litigation is uncertain and the Company 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 the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Please refer to IMH’s report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and subsequent quarterly reports2019 for a full description of litigation and claims.

The Mortgage Industry and Discussion of Relevant Fiscal Periods

The mortgage industry is subject to current events that occur in the financial services industry including changes to regulations and compliance requirements that result in uncertainty surrounding the actions of states, municipalities and new government agencies, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). These events can also include changes in economic indicators, interest rates, price competition, geographic shifts, disposable income, housing prices, market liquidity, market anticipation, environmental conditions, such as hurricanes and floods, and customer perception, as well as others. The factors that affect the industry change rapidly and can be unforeseeable making it difficult to predict and manage an operation in the financial services industry.

Table of Contents

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, we attempt to present financial information in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations that is the most relevant to our financial information.

Summary Highlights

The second quarter of 2020 was a quarter defined by our temporary suspension of lending activities due to the uncertainty caused by the global pandemic (pandemic) and various initiatives promulgated by the Federal government in response to the pandemic.  As a result, during the second quarter of 2020, we undertook a number of efforts to substantially reduce leverage on our consolidated balance sheet through asset sales and debt repayments.  Between April 1, 2020 and May 31, 2020, we sold approximately $469.0 million in mortgage loans, repaid approximately $490.0 million of associated warehouse borrowings, extended the maturity of the $25.0 million in Convertible Promissory Notes (originally due May 8, 2020) an additional six months to November 9, 2020, completed the sale of $4.1 billion in unpaid principal balance (UPB) of Freddie Mac mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) and repaid the associated $15.0 million outstanding on the MSR borrowing facility in its entirety.  In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, and through the date of this filing, we have satisfied all obligations under our warehouse lending and repurchase facilities and chose to right-size our borrowing capacity, by reducing maximum borrowing capacity during the second quarter from $1.7 billion to $600.0

million and reducing warehouse counterparties from six to three over the same period.  By June 30, 2020, we had substantially de-levered the balance sheet while increasing our unrestricted cash balance from $24.7 million at December 31, 2019, to approximately $43.0 million at June 30, 2020, while also having a balance of unencumbered whole loans with a UPB of approximately $30.0 million.  We believe our temporary suspension of lending activities during the second quarter of 2020 was prudent and allowed us to successfully deleverage the consolidated balance sheet and reduce our risk profile, while prioritizing the preservation of liquidity and long-term value for our capital partners and stakeholders.  

While we intend to maintain a defensive posture due to the significant risks still present in the marketplace, we announced on June 4, 2020, that we have re-engaged lending activities, initially expected to be GSE, Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Veterans Affairs (VA) lending. We are currently evaluating the Non-Agency jumbo and non-qualified mortgage (NonQM) products and will continue to monitor these market segments as facts and circumstances evolve particularly relating to the reemergence of NonQM.

As previously reported on Form 8-K, on July 7, 2020, we received notification from the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) that our eligibility to sell whole loans to Freddie Mac was suspended, without cause.  As noted in Freddie Mac’s Seller/Servicer Guide, Freddie Mac may elect, in its sole discretion, to suspend a Seller from eligibility, without cause, thereby restricting the Seller from obtaining new purchase commitments during the suspension period.

was primarily due

The second quarter of 2020 results were significantly impacted by the effects of the pandemic, which ultimately led to the aforementioned temporary suspension of our lending activities during the quarter.  While we undertook a declinenumber of efforts to substantially reduce leverage and improve liquidity during the quarter, we did not re-engage lending activities until June 2020, which resulted in gaina significant loss during the second quarter.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the significant components of our net loss were loss on sale of loans revenuesMSRs as a result of fees associated with the sale, change in fair value of MSRs due to prepayments, an increase in the thirdfair value of our long-term debt due to an increase in forward LIBOR and operating expenses.  During the second quarter of 20172020, operating expenses (personnel, business promotion and general, administrative and other) decreased to $14.5 million from $30.8 million and $21.6 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to third quartera result of 2016.  The declineour temporary suspension of lending activities.  

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in gain on sale of loans revenues was due to a  decrease in origination volume magnified also by the decline in gain on sale margins.  Origination volume declined 51%accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the third quarter of 2017United States (GAAP), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: core (loss) earnings before tax and core (loss) earnings per share before tax.  Core (loss) earnings and core (loss) earnings per share are financial measurements calculated by adjusting GAAP earnings before tax to exclude certain non-cash items, such as compared to the same period in the prior year (discussed further below).  Gain on sale margins decreased by 64 basis point (bps) to 204 bps in the third quarter of 2017, as compared to 268 bps in the third quarter of 2016 reflecting the margin compression resulting from the historically low interest rate environment in the third quarter of 2016, in which the Company was able to generate significantly larger volume with wide gain on sale margins.

Net earnings include fair value adjustments for changes in the contingent consideration, long-term debt and net trust assets. The contingent consideration is related to the CashCall Mortgage (CCM) acquisition transaction, while the other fair value adjustments are related to ourmark-to-market of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs), and legacy portfolio. Thesenon-recurring expenses.  The fair value adjustments are non-cash items and are not related to current operating results.  Although we are required to record change in fair value and accretion of the contingent consideration,which management believes operating income excluding contingent consideration changes and the related accretion is more useful to discussshould be excluded when discussing our ongoing and future operations.  

Adjusted operating  incomeWe use core (loss) is not considered an accounting principle generally accepted in the United Statesearnings as we believe that it more accurately reflects our current business operations of America (GAAP) financial measurement; see the discussionmortgage originations and reconciliation on non-GAAP financial measures below.

We calculate adjusted operating  income (loss) and adjusted operating income per share as performance measures, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures, to further aidaids our investors in understanding and analyzing our core operating results and comparing them among periods. Adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted operating income (loss) per share exclude certain items that we do not consider part of our core operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net (loss) earnings before income taxes, net (loss) earnings or diluted (loss) earnings per share (EPS) prepared in accordance with GAAP.  The tabletables below shows operating income excluding these items:

Despite our current pause originating NonQM loans, we still believe there is an underserved mortgage market for borrowers with good credit who may not meet the qualified mortgage (QM) guidelines set out by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our warehouse borrowing capacity increased from $925.0 million to $960.0 million. In addition to funding our mortgage loan originations, we also used a portion of our warehouse borrowing capacity to provide re‑warehouse facilities to our customers, correspondent sellers and other small mortgage banking companies represented as finance receivables on the consolidated balance sheets. The outstanding balance of finance receivables decreased to $60.9 million at September 30, 2017 as compared to $62.9 million at

For the third quarter of 2017,2020, real estate services fees were $1.4 million$293 thousand as compared to $1.5 million$393 thousand in the first quarter of 2020 and $807 thousand in the second quarter of 2017 and $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2016.  Since most2019.  Most of our real estate services business is generated from our long-term mortgage portfolio, and as the long‑termlong-term mortgage portfolio continues to decline, we expect real estate services and the related revenues to decline.

In our long-term mortgage portfolio, the residual interests generated cash flows of $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to $3.1 million$489 thousand in the second quarter of 2017 and $1.6 million2020 as compared to $354 thousand in the thirdfirst quarter of 2016.2020 and $274 thousand in the second quarter of 2019.  The estimated fair value of the net residual interests decreased $2.5 millionincreased $684 thousand in the thirdsecond quarter of 20172020 to $17.4$15.8 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, due to an increase in fair value of certain multifamily trusts as a result of residual cash flows receivedexcess spread due to the current interest rate environment partially offset by an improvementincrease in performance fromloss assumptions for certain trusts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, we funded our operations primarily from mortgage lending revenues and, to a lesser extent, real estate services fees and cash flows from our residual interests in securitizations.  Mortgage lending revenues include gainsgain (loss) on sale of loans, net, servicing fees, net, proceeds from the sale of mortgage servicing rights and other mortgage related income, and real estate services fees including portfolio loss mitigation fees primarily generated from our long-term mortgage portfolio.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we raised capital by issuing common stock as well as obtained MSR financing facilities, as further described below.  Additionally, weincome.  We funded mortgage loan originations using warehouse facilities, which are repaid once the loan is sold.  We may continue to manage our capital through the financing or sale of mortgage servicing rights.  We may also seek to raise capital by issuing debt or equity, including offering shares throughequity.

In mid-February we began instituting measures to increase liquidity as the “At-the-Market” offering (ATM) programrisk of the rapidly spreading pandemic continued to outpace expectations.  We satisfied all margin calls due under our To Be Announced (TBA) hedging agreements, and warehouse lending and repurchase facilities.  In March 2020, we iniatedmade the determination that our interest rate hedges were no longer effective in 2015.hedging asset market values as a result of the market dislocation, which caused an inability to monetize the value of our locked and funded loan portfolio. As a result, on March 18, 2020, we closed out the entirety of our TBA hedge position.   In late March 2020, we instituted a temporary suspension of all lending activities believing it prudent to de-risk, protect liquidity and prepare for the potential of a prolonged global recession.  During March 2020, we began to sell assets, repay debt, and generate additional cash liquidity. As of March 31, 2020, our unrestricted cash was $80.2 million. Between April 1, 2020 and May 31, 2020, we sold approximately $469.0 million in mortgage loans, repaid approximately $490.0 million of associated warehouse borrowings, completed the sale of $4.1 billion in UPB of Freddie Mac MSRs and repaid the associated $15.0 million outstanding on the MSR borrowing facility in its entirety.  We have right sized our warehouse borrowing capacity by electing to reduce the maximum borrowing capacity from $1.7 billion to $600.0 million and electing to reduce the warehouse counterparties from six to three.

On August 17, 2017,In February 2018, IMC (Borrower), issued aamended the Line of Credit Promissory Note with a lender providing for a(FHLMC and GNMA Financing, or MSR financing) originally entered into in August 2017, increasing the maximum borrowing capacity of the revolving line of credit to $50.0 million and extending the term to January 31, 2019. In May 2018, the agreement was amended increasing the maximum borrowing capacity of $30.0the revolving line of credit to $60.0 million, (FHLMC Financing). The Borrower is able to borrowincreasing the borrowing capacity up to 55%60% of the fair market value of FHLMC pledged mortgage servicing rights. The Line of Credit has a term until May 31, 2018 and will automatically renew for subsequent one year periods unless the lender provides the Borrower 150 days’ notice of its intention not to renew. Interest payments are payable monthly and accrue interest at the rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 4.0% and the balance of the obligation  may be prepaid at any time. The obligations under the FHLMC Financing are secured by FHLMC pledged mortgage servicing rights and reducing the interest rate per annum to one-month LIBOR plus 3.0%.  As part of the May 2018 amendment, the obligations under the Line of Credit are secured by FHLMC and GNMA pledged mortgage servicing rights (subject to an acknowledge agreement) and is guaranteed by Integrated Real Estate Services, Corp.  is a guarantor.  At September 30, 2017, $5.0 million was outstanding underIn April 2019, the FHLMC Financing.

On May 5, 2017, we entered into an exchange agreement pursuant to which we agreed to issue 412,264 shares of our common stock in exchange for trust preferred securities with an aggregate liquidation amount of $8.5 million issued by Impac Capital Trust #4.  Accrued and unpaid interest on the trust preferred securities was paid in cash in the aggregate amount of approximately $14 thousand.  The exchange was based on the carrying valuematurity of the trust preferred obligation whichline was $5.6 million atextended until January 31, 2020. In January 2020, the maturity of the line was extended to March 31, 2017 and an agreed upon stock price of $13.68 that determined a fixed number of shares to be issued in the exchange resulting in a discount to par of 34%.  However, because the market value of the common stock was $17.06 on the issuance date (measurement date),2020. At March 31, 2020, we recorded a $1.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The appreciation in stock price from the agreement date to the issuance date of the common stock resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt.   The annual interest savings will amount to approximately $400 thousand.

On April 18, 2017, we received $56.0 million from the issuance of common stock in a registered direct offering (Offering) at a price of $12.66 per share. In the Offering, we issued an aggregate of 4,423,381 shares of common stock. borrowed

In April 2020, Ginnie Mae announced they revised and expanded their issuer assistance program to provide financing to fund servicer advances through the Pass-Through Assistance Program (PTAP).  The PTAP funds advanced by Ginnie Mae bear interest at a fixed rate that will apply to a given months pass-through assistance and will be posted on Ginnie Mae’s website each month. The maturity date is the earlier of the seven months from the month the request and repayment agreement was approved, or July 30, 2021.  At June 30, 2020, we had $448 thousand in approved PTAP funds outstanding at an interest rate of 5.7%.  In July 2020, the outstanding PTAP funds were repaid.

In May 2015, we issued $25.0 million Convertible Promissory Notes (Convertible Notes). The Convertible Notes originally matured on or before May 9, 2020 and accrued interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum, paid quarterly. On April 15, 2020, we amended and restated the Convertible Notes to extend the maturity date by six months (until November 9, 2020) and to reduce the interest rate on such notes to 7.0% per annum (Amended Notes).  In connection with the issuance of the Amended Notes, we issued to the holders of the Amended Notes, warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 212,649 shares of our common stock at a cash exercise price of $2.97 per share. The warrants are exercisable commencing on October 16, 2020 and expire on April 15, 2025. We are currently evaluating various options as to the appropriate settlement or extension of the Convertible Notes.  

In May 2020, we completed the sale of $4.1 billion in UPB of Freddie Mac MSRs for approximately $55.5$20.1 million, after deductingreceiving $15.0 million in proceeds upon sale, with the financial advisory feeremaining due upon transfer of the servicing and estimated aggregate offering expenses. We intend to usetransfer of all trailing documents. The Company used the net$15.0 million in proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, including general administrative expenses and working capital and capital expenditures, development costs, strategic investments or possible acquisitions, or repayment of debt.

In February 2017, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (Agreement) with a lender  providing for a revolving loan commitment of up to $40.0 million for a period of two years (FNMA Financing) to finance MSRs.  We are able to borrow up to 55% of the fair market value of FNMA pledged servicing rights.  Upon the two year anniversary of the Agreement, any amounts outstanding will automatically be converted into a term loan due and payable in full on the one year anniversary of the conversion date.  Interest payments are payable monthly and accrue interest at the rate per annum equal to one-month LIBOR plus 4.0%. The balance of the obligation may be prepaid at any time. With the initial draw of  $35.1 million, a portion of the proceeds were usedMSR sale to pay off the Term Financing (approximately $30.1 million) originally entered into in June 2015.  At September 30, 2017, the outstanding balance of the FNMA Financing was $20.1 million. MSR financing.

During the nine months ended  September 30, 2017, we paid approximately $16.2 million in contingent consideration payments related to the CCM acquisition for the fourth quarter of 2016, the first and second quarters of 2017 earn-out period. Additionally, the contingent consideration payment for the third quarter of 2017 is approximately $4.7 million and is due in November 2017. These contingent consideration payments are based on the performance of the CCM division and over time the earn-out percentage declines. The fourth quarter 2016 earn-out percentage was 55% of the CCM division earnings, as defined. Beginning in 2017, the earn-out percentage decreased to 45% and terminates at the end of 2017.

Our results of operations and liquidity are materially affected by conditions in the markets for mortgages and mortgage-related assets, as well as the pandemic and the broader financial markets and the general economy. Concerns over economic recession, geopolitical issues, unemployment, the availability and cost of financing, the mortgage market and real estate market conditions contribute to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the economy and markets. Volatility and uncertainty in the marketplace may make it more difficult for us to obtain financing or raise capital on favorable terms or at all. Our operations and profitability may be adversely affected if we are unable to obtain cost-effective financing.financing and profitable and stable capital market distribution exits.

We originate loans eligible for sale to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, (together, the GSEs), government insured or guaranteed loans, such as FHA, VA and USDA loans, and loans eligible for Ginnie Mae securities issuance (collectively, the Agencies), in addition to other investors and counterparties (collectively, the Counterparties). It is important for us to sell or securitize the loans we originate and, when doing so, maintain the option to also sell the related MSRs associated with these loans.  Prepayment speeds on loans generated through our retail direct channel have been a concern for some investors dating back to 2016 which has resulted and could further result in adverse pricing or delays in our ability to sell or securitize loans and related MSRs on a timely and profitable basis. During the fourth quarter of 2017, Fannie Mae sufficiently limited the manner and volume for our deliveries of eligible loans such that we elected to cease deliveries to them and we expanded our whole loan investor base for these loans.  In 2019, with the creation of the uniform mortgage-backed securities (UMBS) market, which was intended to improve liquidity and align prepayment speeds across Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities, Freddie Mac raised concerns about the high prepayment speeds of our loans generated through our retail direct channel. During 2019 and through the first half of 2020, we further expanded our investor base and completed servicing released loan sales to non-GSE whole loan investors and expect to continue to utilize these alternative exit strategies for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac eligible loans.  In July 2020, we received notification from Freddie Mac that our eligibility to sell whole loans to Freddie Mac was suspended, without cause.  While we believe that the overall volume delivered under purchase commitments to the GSE’s was immaterial for 2019 and the first half of 2020, we are committed to operating actively and in good standing with our broad range of capital markets counterparties. We continue to take steps to manage our prepayment speeds to be more consistent with our industry peers and to reestablish the full confidence and delivery mechanisms to our investor base. We seek to satisfy the requirements as outlined by Freddie Mac to achieve reinstatement, while we continue to satisfy our obligations on a timely basis to our other counterparties, as we have done without exception.  Despite being in a suspended status with Freddie Mac, we remain in good standing as an approved originator and/or seller/servicer with our GSE’s, Agencies and Counterparties for agency, non-agency, and government insured or guaranteed loan programs.

We believe that current cash balances, cash flows from our mortgage lending operations, the sale of mortgage servicing rights, real estate services fees generated from our long-term mortgage portfolio, availability on our warehouse lines of credit and residual interest cash flows from our long-term mortgage portfolio are adequate for our current operating needs.needs based on the current operating environment. We believe the mortgage and real estate services market is volatile, highly competitive and subject to increased regulation. Competition in mortgage lending comes primarily from mortgage bankers, commercial banks, credit unions and other finance companies which operate in our market area as well as throughout the United States. We compete for loans principally on the basis of the interest rates and loan fees we charge, the types of loans we originate and the quality of services we provide to borrowers, brokers and sellers.  Additionally, performance of the long-term mortgage portfolio is subject to the current real estate market and economic conditions. Cash flows from our residual interests in securitizations are sensitive to delinquencies, defaults and credit losses associated with the securitized loans. Losses in excess of current estimates will reduce the residual interest cash receipts from our long-term mortgage portfolio.

While we continue to pay our obligations as they become due, the ability to continue to meet our current and long-term obligations is dependent upon many factors, particularly our ability to successfully operate our mortgage lending segment,and real estate services segment, manage and realizingmonetize our MSRs, and realize cash flows from the long-term mortgage portfolio. Our future financial performance and profitability are dependent in large part upon the ability to expand our mortgage lending platform successfully.

Critical Accounting Policies

We define critical accounting policies as those that are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. Our critical accounting policies require management to make difficult and complex judgments that rely on estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain due to the effect of changing market conditions and/or consumer behavior. In determining which accounting policies meet this definition, we considered our policies with respect to the valuation of our assets and liabilities and estimates and assumptions used in determining those

38


valuations. We believe the most critical accounting issues that require the most complex and difficult judgments and that are particularly susceptible to significant change to our financial condition and results of operations include those issues included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations in IMH’s report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.  Such policies have not changed during 2017.2019.

(1)At June 30, 2020, the UPB of trust assets and trust liabilities was approximately $2.7 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively. At December 31, 2019, the UPB of trust assets and trust liabilities was approximately $3.0 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively.

Since the consolidated and unconsolidated securitization trusts are nonrecourse to us, trust assets and liabilities have been netted to present our interest in these trusts more simply, which are considered the residual interests in securitizations. For unconsolidated securitizations the residual interests represent the fair value of investment securities available-for-sale. For consolidated securitizations, the 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 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 specified overcollateralization levels and other specified parameters (such as maximum delinquency and cumulative default) within the trusts. The estimated fair value of the residual interests, represented by the difference in the fair value of total trust assets and total trust liabilities, was $17.4$15.8 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 as compared to $15.7$15.5 million at December 31, 2016.

We update our collateral assumptions quarterly based on recent delinquency, default, prepayment and loss experience. Additionally, we update the forward interest rates and investor yield (discount rate) assumptions based on information derived from market participants. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, actual losses were relatively flat and were inline withslightly elevated as compared to forecasted losses for the majority of trusts, including those with residual value.  Principal payments and liquidations of securitized mortgage collateral and securitized mortgage borrowings also contributed to the reduction in trust assets and liabilities.  The increase in residual fair value at SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 was the result of an increase in fair value of certain multifamily trusts as a decreaseresult of excess spread due to the current interest rate environment partially offset by an increase in loss assumptions as well as recoveries onfor certain multifamily trusts with residual value.trusts.

·

The estimated fair value of securitized mortgage collateral decreased $263.8$402.6 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, primarily due to reductions in principal from borrower payments and transfers of loans to Real Estate Owned (REO)REO for single-family and multi-family collateral. Additionally, other trust assets decreased $0.3$2.4 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, primarily due to a decrease in REO from liquidations of $24.2$12.9 million.  Partially

offsetting the decrease was an increase of $15.4$7.3 million in REO from foreclosures and an  $8.5a $3.2 million increase in the net realizable value (NRV) of REO.

·

The estimated fair value of securitized mortgage borrowings decreased $265.8$405.3 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, primarily due to reductions in principal balances from principal payments during the period for single-family and multi-family collateral as well as a decreasepartially offset by an increase in loss assumptions.

Prior to 2008, we securitized mortgage loans by transferring originated and acquired residential single-family mortgage loans and multi-family commercial loans (the “transferred assets”) into nonrecourse bankruptcy remote trusts which in turn issued tranches of bonds to investors supported only by the cash flows of the transferred assets. Because the assets and liabilities in the securitizations are nonrecourse to us, the bondholders cannot look to us for repayment of their bonds in the event of a shortfall. These securitizations were structured to include interest rate derivatives. We retained the residual interest in each trust, and in most cases would perform the master servicing function. A trustee and sub-servicer, unrelated to us, were utilized for each securitization. Cash flows from the loans (the loan payments as well as liquidation of foreclosed real estate properties) collected by the loan sub-servicer are remitted to us, the master servicer. The master servicer remits payments to the trustee who remits payments to the bondholders (investors). The sub-servicer collects loan payments and performs loss mitigation activities for defaulted loans. These activities include foreclosing on properties securing defaulted loans, which results in REO.

To estimate fair value of the assets and liabilities within the securitization trusts each reporting period, management uses an industry standard valuation and analytical model that is updated monthly with current collateral, real estate, derivative, bond and cost (servicer, trustee, etc.) information for each securitization trust. We employ an internal process to validate the accuracy of the model as well as the data within this model. Forecasted assumptions sometimes referred to as “curves,” for defaults, loss severity, interest rates (LIBOR) and prepayments are inputted into the valuation model for each securitization trust. We hire third-party market participants to provide forecasted curves for the aforementioned assumptions for each of the securitizations. Before inputting this information into the model, management employs a process to qualitatively and quantitatively review the assumption curves for reasonableness using other information gathered from the mortgage and real estate market (i.e., third party home price indices, published industry reports discussing regional mortgage and commercial loan performance and delinquency) as well as actual default and foreclosure information for each trust from the respective trustees.

We use the valuation model to generate the expected cash flows to be collected from the trust assets and the expected required bondholder distribution (trust liabilities). To the extent that the trusts are over collateralized, we may receive the excess interest as the holder of the residual interest. The information above provides us with the future expected cash flows for the securitized mortgage collateral, real estate owned, securitized mortgage borrowings derivative assets/liabilities, and the residual interests.

To determine the discount rates to apply to these cash flows, we gather information from the bond pricing services and other market participants regarding estimated investor required yields for each bond tranche. Based on that information and the collateral type and vintage, we determine an acceptable range of expected yields an investor would require including an appropriate risk premium for each bond tranche. We use the blended yield of the bond tranches together with the residual interests to determine an appropriate yield for the securitized mortgage collateral in each securitization (after taking into consideration any derivatives in the securitization).securitization.

For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, the estimated fair value of the net trust assets increased as a percentage of total trust assets. The increase was primarilyassets due to an increase in projected future cash flows due toprepayments and prepayment assumptions and a decrease in forward LIBOR offset by an increase in losses and loss assumptions in the 2006 multi-family vintage.assumptions.

Since the consolidated and unconsolidated securitization trusts are nonrecourse to us, 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.

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

We utilize a number of assumptions to value securitized mortgage collateral, securitized mortgage borrowings and residual interests. These assumptions include estimated collateral default rates and loss severities (credit losses), collateral prepayment rates, forward interest rates and investor yields (discount rates). We use the same collateral assumptions for securitized mortgage collateral and securitized mortgage borrowings as the collateral assumptions determine collateral cash flows which are used to pay interest and principal for securitized mortgage borrowings and excess spread, if any, to the residual interests. However, we use different investor yield (discount rate) assumptions for securitized mortgage collateral and securitized mortgage borrowings and the discount rate used for residual interests based on underlying collateral characteristics, vintage year, assumed risk and market participant assumptions.  The increase in the estimated fair value

Despite the increase in housing prices through September 30, 2017, housing prices in many parts of the country are still at levels which have significantly reduced or eliminated equity for loans originated after 2003. Future loss estimates are significantly higher for mortgage loans included in securitization vintages after 2005 which reflect severe home price deterioration and defaults experienced with mortgages originated during these periods.

Long-Term Mortgage Portfolio Credit Quality

We use the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) method to define delinquency as a contractually required payment being 30 or more days 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 delinquent or greater, foreclosures and delinquent bankruptcies were $834.0$634.2 million, or 18.7%23.6% of the long-term mortgage portfolio, as of Septemberat June 30, 20172020 as compared to $1.0 billion$511.3 million or 20.0% as of17.3% at December 31, 2016.2019.

The following table summarizes the gross UPB of loans in our mortgage portfolio, included in securitized mortgage collateral and REO, that were 60 or more days delinquent (utilizing the MBA method) as of the periods indicated:

At June 30, 2020, mortgage loans 60 or more days delinquent (whether or not subject to forbearance) increased 24% as compared to December 31, 2019.  Delinquency and forbearance is taken into account as part of our credit loss assumptions when determining the estimated fair value of our residual interests.  At June 30, 2020, residential loss assumptions for certain trusts increased as compared to March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.  To the extent delinquencies and loans in forbearance increase in deals with residual fair value, the estimated fair value of our residual interests may decrease due to a reduction or delay in the timing of estimated cash flows.

Non-performing assets consist of non-performing loans (mortgages that are 90 or more days delinquent, including loans in foreclosure and delinquent bankruptcies) plus REO. It is our policy to place a mortgage on nonaccrual 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. IFC, a subsidiary of IMH and master servicer, may be required to advance funds, or in most cases cause the loan servicers to advance funds, to cover principal and interest payments not received from borrowers depending on the status of their mortgages. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, non-performing assets (UPB of loans 90 or more days delinquent, foreclosures and delinquent bankruptcies plus REO) as a percentage of the total collateral was 16.6%16.1%.  At December 31, 2016,2019, non-performing assets to total collateral was 17.4%14.5%. Non-performing assets decreased by approximately $143.2$3.3 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 as compared to December 31, 2016.2019. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, the estimated fair value of non-performing assets (representing the fair value of loans 90 or more days delinquent, foreclosures and delinquent bankruptcies plus REO) was $245.8$93.2 million or 5.1%3.9% of total assets. At December 31, 2016,2019, the estimated fair value of non-performing assets was $263.6$158.4 million or 5.4%4.5% of total assets.

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 loan carrying value required at the time of foreclosure are included in the change in the fair value of net trust assets. Changes in our estimates of net realizable value subsequent to the time of foreclosure and through the time of ultimate disposition are recorded as change in fair value of net trust assets including trust REO gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations.

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

In calculating the cash flows to assess the fair value of the securitized mortgage collateral, we estimate 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

47


Table of Contents

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 severity in the event of default. The rate of default is assigned to the loans based on their attributes (e.g.(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, employment and 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.

The $70.7$28.0 million decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily due to a $52.8$49.7 million decrease in premiums from thegain on sale of mortgage loans, a $23.0 million decrease in premiums from servicing retained loan sales, a $6.6 million decrease in mark-to-market  gains on LHFS, a $3.5$2.1 million decrease in realized and unrealized net gains on derivative financial instruments and a $1.8$352 thousand decrease of premiums from servicing retained loan sales.  Partially offsetting these decreases in gain on sale of loans was a $17.4 million increase in provision for repurchases, partially offset bymark-to-market gains on LHFS, a $17.2$4.7 million decrease in direct loan origination expenses.expenses and a $1.9 million decrease in provision for repurchases for the three months ended June 30, 2020.  

The overall decreasesignificant reduction in gain on sale of loans, net was primarilythe result of our temporary pause in lending during the second quarter of 2020  as we believed it was prudent to de-risk our consolidated balance sheet and protect liquidity due to the significant reduction in value assigned by investors and counterparties for our NonQM position. On June 4, 2020, we announced our re-engagement in lending activities.  As a 51% decreaseresult of the temporary suspension in volume as well as a decrease in gain on sale margins.  Forlending, for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, we originated and sold $2.1 billionmillion and $2.1 billion$489.1 million of loans, respectively, as compared to $4.2 billion$821.4 million and $4.1 billion$861.2 million of loans originated and sold, respectively, during the same period in 2016.  Margins decreased to approximately 204 bps for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 268 bps for the same period in 2016 due to margin compression across all three channels as a result of the increase in interest rates as compared to the third quarter of 2016 as well as an increase in competition for volume.2019.

Business promotion was flat at $10.4 million2019.  The decrease is primarily related to the aforementioned temporary pause in lending during the three months ended June 30, 2020.  In mid-March, we undertook a series of actions to help ensure the safety and productivity of our employees and help prevent the spread of COVID-19 among our workforce.  Substantially all of our employees have been working remotely since March 16, 2020.  As a result of the temporary pause in lending, we furloughed a significant amount of our workforce, which resulted in average headcount decreasing 50% for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and 2016.  Our centralized call center purchases leads and promotes its business through radio and television advertisements.  During the third quarter of 2017, business promotion was relatively flat2020 as compared to 2016the same period in 2019.  We greatly value the health and well-being of our employees and their families and consistent with continued effortsour furlough policy, have covered

As part of the acquisition of CCM, we record accretion of the contingent consideration liability from the close of the transaction in March 2015 through the end of the earn-out period in December 2017, which increases the contingent consideration liability. The estimated contingent consideration liability is based on discounted cash flows which represent the time value of money of the liability during the earn-out period.  In the third quarter of 2017, accretion increased the contingent consideration liability by $396 thousand as compared to $1.6 million during the third quarter of 2016.  The decrease in accretion is due to the reduction of forecasted pre-tax earnings of CCM as a result of updated assumptions as well asexploring alternative exit strategies for our NonQM position during the three months ended June 30, 2020.  Offsetting the increase in expense was a reduction in all other general, administrative and other expenses as a result of the estimated earn-out percentage astemporary pause in lending during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

As a result, average headcount decreased 13% for the nine months ended September 30, 20172020 as compared to the same period in 2016.

As part of the acquisition of CCM, we record accretion of the contingent consideration liability from the close of the transaction in March 2015 through the end of the earn-out period in December 2017, which increases the contingent consideration liability. The estimated contingent consideration liability is based on discounted cash flows which represent the time value of money of the liability during the earn-out period.  In the first nine months of 2017, accretion increased the contingent consideration liability by $1.9$1.0 million as compared to $5.2 million during the first nine months of 2016.  The decrease in accretion is due to the reduction of forecasted pre-tax earnings of CCM as a result of updated assumptions as well asexploring alternative exit strategies for our NonQM loan portfolio held-for-sale during the six months ended June 30, 2020.  Offsetting these increases in expenses outlined above was a reduction in the estimated earn-out percentage as compared to 2016.  The accretion will continue to be a charge against earnings in future quarters until the end of the earn-out period in December 2017.

We recorded an  $11.1 million change in fair value associated with a reduction in the contingent consideration liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 related to updated assumptions including current market conditions.

Net Interest Income (Expense)

We earn net interest income primarily from mortgage assets, which include securitized mortgage collateral and loans held-for-sale, and finance receivables, 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 secured by mortgage assets, which include securitized mortgage borrowings and warehouse borrowings and to a lesser extent, interest expense paid on long-term debt, Convertible Notes, MSR Financingfinancing and Term Financing.corporate owned life insurance trusts. Interest income and interest expense during the period primarily 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 interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, 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.

Net interest spread increased $1.1 millionincome decreased $630 thousand for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 primarily attributable to an increasea decrease in the net interest spread between loans held-for-sale and finance receivables and their related warehouse borrowings, a decreasean increase in interest expense fromon the conversion of the Convertible Notes in January 2016 and a decreasecorporate owned life insurance trusts (within other liabilities), an increase in interest expense related to the payoff of the Term Financing.on MSR financing and convertible notes.  Offsetting the increasedecrease in net interest spread income was a decreasean increase in the net interest spread on the securitized mortgage collateral and securitized mortgage borrowings, an increaseborrowing and a decrease in the interest expense on the long-term debt as well as an increasedebt.  Despite the decrease in net interest expense as a result of the MSR financing facilities.  As a result,spread income, the net interest margin increased to 0.10%0.26% for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 from 0.06%0.25% for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2019.

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, the yield on interest-earning assets decreased to 5.58%5.03% from 5.60%5.09% in the comparable 20162019 period. The yield on interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 5.43%4.80% for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 from 5.47%4.87% for the comparable 20162019 period.  In connection with the fair value accounting for securitized mortgage collateral and borrowings and long-term debt, interest income and interest expense isare recognized using effective yields based on estimated fair values for these instruments. The decreaseincrease in yield for securitized mortgage collateral and securitized mortgage borrowings is primarily related to increaseda decrease in prices on mortgage-backed bonds which resulted in a decreasean increase in yield as compared to the previous period.

Loss on extinguishment of debt.

We recorded a $1.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  In May 2017, we exchanged 412,264 shares of common stock for the remaining trust preferred securities which had an aggregate liquidation amount of $8.5 million.  The value of the shares on the issuance date exceeded the carrying value of debt by $1.3 million.

Change in the fair value of long-term debt.

Long-term debt (consisting of trust preferred securities and junior subordinated notes) is measured based upon an internal analysis, which considers our own credit risk and discounted cash flow analyses. Improvements in our financial results and financial condition in the future could result in additional increases in the estimated fair value of the long-term debt, while deterioration in financial results and financial condition could result in a decrease in the estimated fair value of the long-term debt.

Change

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the fair value of the long-term debt increased $2.2 million to $41.8 million from $39.6 million at March 31, 2020.  The increase in estimated fair value was the result of a $4.2 million change in the market specific credit risk as a result of an increase in the forward LIBOR curve as compared to the first quarter of 2020, as well as a $157 thousand increase due to accretion partially offset by a reduction of $2.2 million change in the instrument specific credit risk.  During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the fair value of long-term debt resulted in incomedecreased by

Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $2.1 million$15 thousand and $3.6 million$51 thousand for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, respectively. Tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily the result of the recognitionstate income taxes from states where we do not have net operating loss carryforwards or state minimum taxes.  We recorded income tax expense of a deferred tax liability created by the amortization of an indefinite-life intangible asset (goodwill)$81 thousand and amortization of the deferred charge.    The deferred tax liability$167 thousand for indefinite-life intangibles cannot be included in the calculation of valuation allowance as these liabilities cannot be considered when determining the realizability of the net deferred tax assets.

For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016, we recorded income tax benefit of $130 thousand2019, respectively.  Tax expense for the three and an expense of $728 thousand, respectively,six months ended June 30, 2019 is primarily the result of a return to provision adjustment for the 2015 tax return booked in the third quarter, amortization of the deferred charge, federal alternative minimum tax (AMT), and state income taxes from states where we do not have net operating loss carryforwards or state minimum taxes, including AMT  The deferred charge represents the deferral of income tax expense on inter-company profits that resultedoffset by a benefit resulting from the sale of mortgagesintraperiod allocation rules that are applied when there is a pre-tax loss from taxable subsidiaries to IMH prior to 2008. The deferred charge amortization and/or impairment, which does not result in any tax liability to be paid is calculated based on the change in fair value of the underlying securitized mortgage collateral during the period. The deferred charge is included incontinuing operations and pre-tax income from 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.comprehensive income.

For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, gain on sale of loans, net were $42.5was $1.5 million compared to $113.2$29.5 million in the comparable 20162019 period. The $70.7$28.0 million decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily due to a $52.8$49.7 million decrease in premiums from thegain on sale of mortgage loans, a $23.0 million decrease in premiums from servicing retained loan sales, a $6.6 million decrease in mark-to-markt gains on LHFS, a $3.5$2.1 million decrease in realized and unrealized net gains on derivative financial instruments and a $352 thousand decrease of premiums from servicing retained loan sales.  Partially offsetting these decreases in gain on sale of loans was a $17.4 million increase in mark-to-market gains on LHFS, a $4.7 million decrease in direct loan origination expenses and a $1.9 million decrease in provision for repurchases for the three months ended June 30, 2020.  

The significant reduction in gain on sale of loans, net was the result of our temporary pause in lending during the second quarter as we believed it was prudent to de-risk our consolidated balance sheet and protect liquidity due to the significant reduction in value assigned by investors and counterparties for our NonQM position. On June 4, 2020, we announced our re-engagement in lending activities.  As a result of the temporary suspension in lending, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, we originated and sold $2.1 million and $489.1 million of loans, respectively, as compared to $821.4 million and $861.2 million of loans originated and sold, respectively, during the same period in 2019.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, servicing fees, net were $1.4 million compared to $3.5 million in the comparable 2019 period.  The decrease in servicing fees, net was due to the sale of $4.1 billion in UPB of Freddie Mac MSRs as well as the significant decrease in mortgage interest rates as compared to the first quarter of 2019.  The substantial decrease in mortgage interest rates caused a significant increase in runoff of our mortgage servicing portfolio which combined with the servicing sale decreased the servicing portfolio average balance 73% to $1.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to an average balance of $6.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2019.  During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we had $11.3 million in servicing retained loan sales.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, loss on MSRs, net was $8.4 million compared to a loss of $9.9 million in the comparable 2019 period.  As previously discussed, in May 2020, we sold $4.1 billion in UPB of Freddie Mac MSRs and recorded a $5.3 million loss on sale of MSRs primarily as a result of fees associated with the sale.  Additionally, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a $3.1 million loss from a change in fair value of MSRs primarily due to changes in fair value associated with changes in market rates, inputs and assumptions as well as voluntary and scheduled prepayments.  As a result of the aforementioned decrease in interest rates during 2019 and through the second quarter of 2020, $3.0 million of the $3.1 million change in fair value of MSRs was due to prepayments, with $1.9 million primarily due to an increase in prepayment speed assumptions and $1.1 million due to voluntary prepayments.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, other income decreased to $287 thousand as compared to $1.9 million in the comparable 2019 period. The $1.7 million decrease in other income was primarily due to a $1.4 million decrease net interest spread between loans held-for-sale and their related warehouse borrowing during the second quarter of 2020 as a result of our temporary pause in lending for most of the quarter. The decrease in other income was also attributable to a $93 thousand increase in interest expense related to an increase in the utilization of the MSR financing facilities during the second quarter of 2020, a $77 thousand decrease in interest income on mortgage-backed securities purchased and sold during 2019 and a $52 thousand decrease on invested cash balances.

Personnel expense decreased $6.6 million to $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019.  The decrease is primarily related to the aforementioned temporary pause in lending during the three months ended June 30, 2020.  As a result of the temporary pause in lending, we furloughed a significant amount of our workforce, which resulted in average headcount in the mortgage lending segment decreasing by 58% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019.  As part of the furlough, we covered the employees’ costs of health and medical benefits to provide tangible support to our furloughed employees during the unprecedented  hardship.

Business promotion decreased $1.9 million to $74 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $2.0 million for the same period in the prior year.  Business promotion decreased as a result of the aforementioned temporary pause in lending during the three months ended June 30, 2020.  As we reengage in lending activities, we expect business promotion expense to decrease as compared to prior periods as a result of the current interest rate environment.  We will continue to source leads through digital campaigns, which allow for a more cost effective approach, increasing the ability to be more price and product competitive to more specific target geographies.

General, administrative and other expenses decreased to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 2019.  The decrease was related to a reduction in most general, administrative and other expenses as a result of the temporary pause in lending during the three months ended June 30, 2020.  Partially offsetting the decrease was a $196 thousand increase in legal and professional fees as a result of exploring alternative exit strategies for our NonQM position during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, (loss) gain on sale of loans, net was a loss of ($26.7) million compared to a gain of $41.7 million in the comparable 2019 period. The $68.4 million decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2020, is primarily due to the aforementioned temporary pause in lending during the second quarter of 2020.  The decrease in (loss) gain on sale of loans, net was most notably due to a $31.5 million increase in mark-to-market losses on LHFS, a $17.6 million increase in realized and unrealized net losses on derivative financial instruments, a $15.8 million decrease in (loss) gain on sale of loans and a $1.8 million increase in provision for repurchases, partially offsetrepurchases.  

As previously discussed, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, the predominance of our loss was due to the substantial remarking of our NonQM loan portfolio held-for sale as a result of spreads widening substantially on credit assets due to potential pandemic related payment delinquencies and forbearances, causing a severe decline in the values assigned by counterparties for NonQM assets, which resulted in a $17.2 million decrease in direct loan origination expenses.

The overall decrease in gainsignificant loss on sale of loans, net was primarily due to a 51% decrease in volume as well as a decrease in gain on sale margins.net. For the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, we originated and sold $2.1$1.5 billion and $2.1$2.2 billion of loans, respectively, as compared to $4.2$1.4 billion and $4.1$1.3 billion of loans originated and sold, respectively, during the same period in 2016.  Margins decreased to approximately 204 bps for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 268 bps for the same period in 2016 due to margin compression across all three channels as a result of the increase in interest rates as compared to the third quarter of 2016 as well as an increase in competition for volume.2019.  

For the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, servicing fees, net was $8.5were $3.9 million compared to $3.8$6.5 million in the comparable 20162019 period.  The increasedecrease in servicing fees, net was the result of the significant decrease in mortgage interest rates as compared to the first six months of 2019 as well as the sale of $4.1 billion in UPB of Freddie Mac MSRs.  The substantial decrease in mortgage interest rates caused a significant increase in runoff of our mortgage servicing portfolio increasing 81% to anwhich combined with the servicing sale decreased the servicing portfolio average balance of $15.448% to $3.2 billion for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 as compared to an average balance of $8.5$6.2 billion for the threecomparable period in 2019.  During the six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.   The increase in the average balance of the servicing portfolio is a result of our efforts during the past year to retain servicing  with fewer bulk sales of MSRs.

Personnel expense decreased to $24.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $24.8 million for the same period in 2019.  Despite the temporary pause in lending during the three months ended June 30, 2020, personnel expense only decreased by $702 thousand due to an increase in originations and related employee commission expense during the first quarter of 2020 as compared to 2019, partially offset by the aforementioned furlough during the second quarter of 2020.  

Business promotion decreased $1.7 million to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $4.9 million for the same period in the prior year.  Business promotion decreased as a result of the aforementioned temporary pause in lending during the three months ended June 30, 2020.  As we reengage in lending activities, we expect business promotion expense to decrease as compared to prior periods as a result of the current interest rate environment.  We will continue to source leads through digital campaigns, which allow for a more cost effective approach, increasing the ability to be more price and product competitive to more specific target geographies.

General, administrative and other expenses increased to $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $5.2 million for the same period in 2019.  The increase was $21.3 millionpartially related to a $513 thousand increase in occupancy expense primarily due to ROU asset impairment as well as additional leased space as compared to the first quarter of 2019.  In August 2019, we entered into an agreement to lease additional office space in our corporate office to accommodate the staffing increase during the third quarter of 2019.  During the first quarter of 2020, as a result of the pandemic and subsequent reduction in lending activities, we consolidated one floor of our corporate office and recognized ROU asset impairment of $393 thousand for the additional space leased in August 2019, in addition to a $198 thousand increase in occupancy expense as compared to the first six months of 2019.  The increase was also due to a $314 thousand increase in legal and professional fees as a result of exploring alternative exit strategies for our NonQM position during the three months ended June 30, 2020.  Partially offsetting the increases in expenses outlined above was a reduction in all other general, administrative and other expenses as a result of the temporary pause in lending during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

The change in fair value related to our net trust assets (residual interests in securitizations) was a loss of $0.9 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and 2016.  Our centralized call center purchases leads and promotes its business through radio and television advertisements.  During the third quarter of 2017, business promotion was relatively flat as compared to 2016 with continued efforts to increase NonQM and purchase money production with the reduction in refinance activity as a result of the increase in interest rates as compared to the third quarter of 2016.  

General, administrative and other expenses decreased to $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $5.6 million for the same period in 2016.  The decrease was primarily related to a $561 thousand decrease in other general and administrative expenses and a $156 thousand decrease in data processing expense, partially offset by a $157 thousand increase in occupancy expense.

As part of the acquisition of CCM, we record accretion of the contingent consideration liability from the close of the transaction in March 2015 through the end of the earn-out period in December 2017, which increases the contingent consideration liability. The estimated contingent consideration liability is based on discounted cash flows which represent the time value of money of the liability during the earn-out period.  In the third quarter of 2017, accretion increased the contingent consideration liability by $396 thousand as compared to $1.6 million during the third quarter of 2016.  The decrease in accretion is due to the reduction of forecasted pre-tax earnings of CCM as a result of

updated assumptions as well as a reduction in the estimated earn-out percentage as compared to 2016.  The accretion will continue to be a charge against earnings in future quarters until the end of the earn-out period in December 2017.

We recorded a $4.8 million change in fair value associated with a reduction in the contingent consideration liability for the third quarter of 2017 related to updated assumptions including current market conditions.2020.  The change in fair value of contingent considerationnet trust assets, excluding REO was primarily relateddue to expected margin compression as well as a reduction$2.3 million in origination volume over the remaining earn-out period which endslosses from changes in December 2017.

Net interest income increased $448 thousand for the six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 as compared to 251 bps for the same period in 2016 due to margin compression across all three channels as a result of the increase in interest rates as compared to the first nine months of 2016 as well as an increase in competition for volume.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, servicing fees, net was $23.6 million compared to $8.7 million in the comparable 2016 period.  The increase in servicing fees, net was the result of the servicing portfolio increasing 122% to an average balance of $14.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to an average balance of $6.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.   The increase in the average balance of the servicing portfolio is a result of our efforts during the past year to retain servicing with fewer bulk sales of MSRs. We had $4.7 billion in servicing retained loan sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Partially offsetting the increase was a bulk sale of NonQM MSRs totaling approximately $155.9 million in UPB.

Personnel expense was $64.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $92.3 million for the comparable period of 2016.  The decrease is primarily related to a reduction in commission expense due to along-term debt associated with an decrease in loan originations as well as staff reductions made in the first quarter of 2017.  With the decline in origination volumes in the first quarter of 2017 we made staff reductions, of which the full impact of the reductions were not reflected until the second quarter.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, net interest income totaled $919 thousand as compared to $1.5 million for the comparable 2016 period.  Net interest income decreased $576 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2017 primarily attributable to a $596 thousand decrease in net interest spread on the long-term mortgage portfolio as compared to the previous period partially offset by a $19 thousand decrease in interest expense on the long-term debt.  The reduction in interest expense on the long-term debt was due to the aformentioned exchange of  trust preferred securities in May 2017, partially offset by an increase in three-month LIBOR as compared to the prior year.

Change in the fair value of long-term debt resulted in income of $104 thousand  for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to an $8.6 million loss for the comparable 2016 period. The decrease in the estimated fair value of long-term debt in the third quarter of 2017 was the result of a slight decrease in the forward LIBOR curve.

The change in fair value related to our net trust assets (residual interests in securitizations) was a loss of $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017.  The change in fair value of net trust assets, excluding REO was due to $4.5 million in losses from changes in fair value of securitized mortgage borrowings and securitized mortgage collateral primarily associated with an increase in LIBOR, partially offset by updated assumptions on certain later vintage trusts with improved performance. Additionally, the NRV of REO increased $2.7 million during the period attributed to lower expected loss severities on properties held in the long-term mortgage portfolio during the period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net interest income totaled $2.8 million as compared to $4.3 million for the comparable 2016 period.  Net interest income decreased $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily attributable to a $1.2 million decrease in net interest spread on the long-term mortgage portfolio as well as a $305 thousand increase in interest expense on the long-term debt due to an increase in three-month LIBOR as compared to the prior year.

During the second quarter of 2017, we exchanged 412,264 shares of common stock for trust preferred securities with an aggregate liquidation amount of $8.5 million.  Accrued and unpaid interest on the trust preferred securities was paid in cash in the aggregate amount of approximately $14 thousand.  We recorded a $1.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt due to stock price appreciation after the agreed upon settlement and before the issuance date of the common stock.

Change in the fair value of long-term debt resulted in an expense of $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to a $7.3 million expense for the comparable 2016. The increase in the estimated fair value of long-term debt in 2017 was primarily the result of a decrease in the discount rate attributable to an improvement in our credit risk profile, financial condition as well as an increase in three-month LIBOR during 2017.

The change in fair value related to our net trust assets (residual interests in securitizations) was a gain of $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The change in fair value of net trust assets, excluding REO was due to $1.9 million in losses from changes in fair value of securitized mortgage borrowings and securitized mortgage collateral primarily associated with updated loss assumptions and recoveries on a certain later vintage multifamily trust with improved performance. Additionally, the NRV of REO increased $8.5 million during the period as a result of lower expected loss severities on properties held in the long-term mortgage portfolio.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, interest expense decreased to $1.8 million as compared to $4.4 million for the comparable 2016 period. The $2.6 million decrease in interest expense was primarily due a $637 thousand reduction in interest expense related to the conversion of the original $20.0 million in Convertible Notes to common stock in January 2016 as well as a $1.9 million decrease in interest expense related to the payoff the Term Financing in February 2017. 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, other expenses increased to $11.9 million as compared to $3.6 million for the comparable 2016 period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in corporate expenses of $4.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 and a reduction in allocated corporate expenses in other segments.  The increase in corporate expenses is due to a $1.4$1.3 million increase in personnel costs primarilythe cash surrender value associated with our increased investment in technology, a $786 thousand increase in healthcare costs as wellthe corporate-owned life insurance trusts as a $2.4 million increase in legal and professional fees associated with defending litigation, as discussed in Item 3result of the 2016 10-K and in Item 1payment of Part II within this 10-Q.  Partially offsetting the increase was a $684 thousand decrease in data processing and equipment expense.premiums.

ITEM 3:  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to a variety of operational and market risks.  Refer to the complete discussion of operational and market risks included in Part II, Item 7 of our report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.  There has been no material change to the types of market and operational risks faced by us.

Interest Rate Risk

Our interest rate risk arises from the financial instruments and positions we hold. This includes mortgage loans held for sale, MSRs and derivative financial instruments. These risks are regularly monitored by executive management that identify and manage the sensitivity of earnings or capital to changing interest rates to achieve our overall financial objectives.

Our principal market exposure is to interest rate risk, specifically changes in long-term Treasury rates and mortgage interest rates due to their impact on mortgage-related assets and commitments. We are also exposed to changes in short-term interest rates, such as LIBOR, on certain variable rate borrowings including our term financing, MSR financing and mortgage warehouse borrowings. We anticipate that such interest rates will remain our primary benchmark for market risk for the foreseeable future.

Our business is subject to variability in results of operations in both the mortgage origination and mortgage servicing activities due to fluctuations in interest rates. In a declining interest rate environment, we would expect our mortgage production activities’ results of operations to be positively impacted by higher loan origination volumes and gain on sale margins. Furthermore, with declining rates, we would expect the market value of our MSRs to decline due to higher actual and projected loan prepayments related to our loan servicing portfolio. Conversely, in a rising interest rate environment, we would expect a negative impact on the results of operations of our mortgage production activities but a positive impact on the market values of our MSRs. The interaction between the results of operations of our mortgage activities is a core component of our overall interest rate risk strategy.

We utilize a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the fair value of MSRs and the impact of parallel interest rate shifts on MSRs. The primary assumptions in this model are prepayment speeds, discount rates, costs of servicing and default rates. However, this analysis ignores the impact of interest rate changes on certain material variables, such as the benefit or detriment on the value of future loan originations, non-parallel shifts in the spread relationships between MBS, swaps and U.S. Treasury rates and changes in primary and secondary mortgage market spreads. We use a forward yield curve, which we believe better presents fair value of MSRs because the forward yield curve is the market’s expectation of future interest rates based on its expectation of inflation and other economic conditions.

Interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) represent an agreement to extend credit to a mortgage loan applicant, or an agreement to purchase a loan from a third-party originator, whereby the interest rate on the loan is set prior to funding. Our mortgage loans held for sale, which are held in inventory awaiting sale into the secondary market, and our interest rate lock commitments, are subject to changes in mortgage interest rates from the date of the commitment through the sale of the loan into the secondary market. As such, we are exposed to interest rate risk and related price risk during the period from the date of the lock commitment through the earlier of (i) the lock commitment cancellation or expiration date; or (ii) the date of sale into the secondary mortgage market. Loan commitments generally range between 15 and 60 days; and our holding period of the mortgage loan from funding to sale is typically within 20 days.

We manage the interest rate risk associated with our outstanding IRLCs and mortgage loans held for sale by entering into derivative loan instruments such as forward loan sales commitments or To-Be-Announced mortgage backed securities (TBA Forward Commitments). We expect these derivatives will experience changes in fair value opposite to changes in fair value of the derivative IRLCs and mortgage loans held-for-sale, thereby reducing earnings volatility. We take into account various factors and strategies in determining the portion of the mortgage pipeline (derivative loan commitments) and mortgage loans held for sale we want to economically hedge. Our expectation of how

61


many of our IRLCs will ultimately close is a key factor in determining the notional amount of derivatives used in hedging the position.

Mortgage loans held-for-sale are financed by our warehouse lines of credit which generally carry variable rates. Mortgage loans held for sale are carried on our balance sheet on average for only 7 to 25 days after closing and prior to being sold. As a result, we believe that any negative impact relatedsmaller reporting company, the Company is not required to our variable rate warehouse borrowings resulting from a shift in market interest rates would not be material to our consolidated financial statements.provide the information required by this Item.

Sensitivity Analysis

We have exposure to economic losses due to interest rate risk arising from changes in the level or volatility of market interest rates. We assess this risk based on changes in interest rates using a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis measures the potential impact on fair values based on hypothetical changes (increases and decreases) in interest rates.

Our total market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors including market volatility and the liquidity of the markets. There are certain limitations inherent in the sensitivity analysis presented, including the necessity to conduct the analysis based on a single point in time and the inability to include the complex market reactions that normally would arise from the market shifts modeled.

We used September 30, 2017 market rates on our instruments to perform the sensitivity analysis. The estimates are based on the market risk sensitivity and assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves. Management uses sensitivity analysis, such as those summarized below, based on a hypothetical 25 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates, to monitor the risks associated with changes in interest rates. We believe the use of a 50 basis point shift up and down (100 basis point range) is appropriate given the relatively short time period that the mortgage loans pipeline is held on our balance sheet and exposed to interest rate risk (during the processing, underwriting and closing stages of the mortgage loans which can last up to approximately 60 days). We also actively manage our risk management strategy for our mortgage loans pipeline (through the use of economic hedges such as forward loan sale commitments and mandatory delivery commitments) and generally adjust our hedging position daily. In analyzing the interest rate risks associated with our MSRs, management also uses multiple sensitivity analyses (hypothetical 25 and 50 basis point increases and decreases) to review the interest rate risk associated with our MSRs.

At a given point in time, the overall sensitivity of our mortgage loans pipeline is impacted by several factors beyond just the size of the pipeline. The composition of the pipeline, based on the percentage of IRLC’s compared to mortgage loans held for sale, the age and status of the IRLC’s, the interest rate movement since the IRLC’s were entered into, the channels from which the IRLC’s originate, and other factors all impact the sensitivity.

These sensitivities are hypothetical and presented for illustrative purposes only. Changes in fair value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in fair value may not be linear.

The following table summarizes the estimated changes in the fair value of our mortgage pipeline, MSRs and related derivatives that are sensitive to interest rates as of September 30, 2017 given hypothetical instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve:

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1:  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Legal Proceedings

Information with respect to this item may be found in Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies of the “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1A:  RISK FACTORS

The Company ispandemic has impaired may continue to impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans or other obligations, resulting in increases in forbearances and/or delinquencies, which could negatively impact our business.

Borrowers that have been negatively impacted by the pandemic may not remit payments of principal and interest relating to their mortgage loans on a defendant intimely basis, or at all. This could be due to an inability to make such payments, an unwillingness to make such payments, or a partytemporary or permanent waiver of the requirement to a numbermake such payments, including under the terms of legal actionsany applicable forbearance, modification, or proceedings that arisematurity extension agreement or program. On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted to provide financial assistance to individuals and businesses affected by the pandemic. The CARES Act provides certain measures to support individuals in maintaining solvency through monetary relief, including in the ordinary courseform of business. In someloan forgiveness/forbearance. The CARES Act, among other things, provides any homeowner with a federally-backed mortgage who is experiencing financial hardship the option of these actionsup to six months of forbearance on their mortgage payments, with a potential to extend that forbearance for another six months. During the forbearance period, no additional fees, penalties or interest can accrue on the homeowner’s account. The CARES Act also established a temporary moratorium on foreclosures. Transactions we enter into to finance loans with warehouse counterparties and proceedings, claims for monetary damages are asserted against the Company. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such legal actions and proceedings, the Company generally cannot predict what the eventual outcome of the pending matters will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be, or what the eventual loss related to each pending mattersell whole loans to third parties, may be if any.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance,negatively impacted by the Company establishes an accrued liability for litigation when those matters present loss contingenciespandemic related payment forbearances, waiver, or other payment deferral program, including but not limited to, reducing proceeds from these transactions, require us to repurchase impacted loans and reduce proceeds or incur losses on loans sold that are both probablewithin forbearance or other deferred payment programs. To the extent borrower forbearance affects our ability to finance and estimable. In any case, theresell loans to third parties, it may be an exposure to losses in excess of any such amounts whether accrued or not. Any estimated loss is subject to significant judgment and is based upon currently available information, a variety of assumptions, and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated loss will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. Therefore, an estimate of possible loss represents what the Company believes to be an estimate of possible loss only for certain matters meeting these criteria. It does not represent the Company’s maximum loss exposure.

Based on the Company’s current understanding of these pending legal actions and proceedings, management does not believe that judgments or settlements arising from pending or threatened legal matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows of the Company. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in these matters, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, and the very large or indeterminate damages sought in some of these matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.

The legal matter updates summarized below are ongoing and may have an effect on the Company’s business and future financial condition and results of operations:

On April 30, 2012, a purported class action was filed entitled Marentes v. Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc., alleging that certain loan modification activities of the Company constitute an unfair business practice, false advertising and marketing, and that the fees charged are improper. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, restitution, injunctive relief, attorney’s fees and prejudgment interest. Phase one of the trial for this matter has been continued, with the parties scheduled to return to court on November 29, 2017, for a status conference. 

   The Company is a party to other litigation and claims which are normal in the course of our operations. While the results of such other litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Loss or suspension of our approvals, or limitations placed on our delivery volume, or the potential limitation or wind-down of, the role Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae play in the residential mortgage-backed security (MBS) market have had, and could continue to have, an adverse effect on our business, operations and financial condition.

We originate loans eligible for sale to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, (together, the GSEs), government insured or guaranteed loans, such as FHA, VA and USDA loans, and loans eligible for Ginnie Mae securities issuance (collectively, the Agencies), in addition to other investors and counterparties (collectively, the Counterparties). We also service loans sold to the GSE’s, as well as securitize with the Agencies and other Counterparties. We believe that having the ability to sell loans directly to these GSE’s, Agencies, and Counterparties and issue securities gives us an advantage in the overall mortgage origination market. The role of the GSE’s, Agencies, and Counterparties may become limited over time in their ability to guarantee mortgages or purchase mortgage loans. Conversely, the GSEs, Agencies, and Counterparties may propose to implement reforms relating to borrowers, lenders, and investors in the mortgage market, including reducing the maximum size of a purchasable loan, phasing-in a minimum down payment requirement for borrowers, changing underwriting standards, and increasing accountability and transparency in the securitization process. The GSEs, Agencies, and Counterparties may also limit the amount of loans a company can sell to them based upon the company’s net worth or

63


Table of Contents

the performance of loans sold to them. These limitations and reforms could negatively impact our financial condition, net earnings and growth.

We have historically serviced loans on behalf of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as loans that have been delivered into securitization programs sponsored by Ginnie Mae and other Counterparties in connection with the issuance of agency guaranteed mortgage-backed securities and other non-agency securitizations. These entities establish the base service fee to compensate us for servicing loans as well as the assessment of fines and penalties that may be imposed upon us for failing to meet servicing standards.

The extent and timing of any regulatory reform regarding the GSEs, Agencies, Counterparties and the home mortgage market, as well as any effect on Impac’s business operations and financial results, are uncertain. It is important for us to sell or securitize the loans we originate and, when doing so, maintain the option to also sell the related MSR's associated with these loans. Prepayment speeds on loans generated through our retail direct channel have been a concern for some investors dating back to 2016, which has resulted and could further result in adverse pricing or delays in our ability to sell or securitize loans and related MSRs on a timely and profitable basis.  During the fourth quarter of 2017, Fannie Mae sufficiently limited the manner and volume for our deliveries of eligible loans such that we elected to cease deliveries to them and we expanded our whole loan investor base for these loans.  In 2019, with the creation of the uniform mortgage-backed securities (UMBS) market, which was intended to improve liquidity and align prepayment speeds across Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities, Freddie Mac raised concerns about the high prepayment speeds of our loans generated through our retail direct channel. During 2019 and through the first half of 2020, we further expanded our investor base and completed servicing released loan sales to non-GSE whole loan investors and expect to continue to utilize these alternative exit strategies for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac eligible loans.  In July 2020, we received notification from Freddie Mac that our eligibility to sell whole loans to Freddie Mac was suspended, without cause.  While we believe that the overall volume delivered under purchase commitments to the GSE’s was not material to our overall operations for 2019 and the first half of 2020, we are committed to operating actively and in good standing with our broad range of capital markets counterparties. We continue to take steps to manage our prepayment speeds to be more consistent with our industry comparables and to reestablish the full confidence and delivery mechanisms to our investor base. Despite being in a suspended status with Freddie Mac, we remain in good standing as an approved originator and/or seller/servicer with our GSE’s, Agencies and Counterparties for agency, non-agency, and government insured or guaranteed loan programs.

Substantive changes to risk-based and collateral eligibility requirements by any of the GSE’s, Agencies or Counterparties may affect our ability to originate, deliver or securitize loans. These changes may also be implemented by a GSE, Agency or Counterparty without advance notice. If the GSEs, Agencies or Counterparties cease to exist, wind down, or otherwise significantly change their business operations or if we lose our approved seller/servicer or approved counterparty status with the GSEs, Agencies or Counterparties, or if one of these parties materially limits the amount of loans we can sell to them, or we are otherwise unable to sell loans to them there could be a material adverse effect on our mortgage lending operations, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

The continued spread of COVID-19 could negatively impact the availability of key personnel necessary to conduct our business.

The effects of the pandemic could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations due to interrupted service and availability of personnel, including our executive officers and other employees that are part of our management team and an inability to recruit, attract and retain skilled personnel. To the extent our management or personnel are impacted in significant numbers by the outbreak of pandemic or epidemic disease and are not available or allowed to conduct work, our business and operating results may be negatively impacted. Moreover, the negative impacts of the pandemic necessitated a significant reduction in our workforce and additional reductions in our workforce may become necessary if economic conditions do not improve, which could negatively impact our business and results of operations. Additionally, the pandemic could negatively impact our ability to ensure operational continuity in the event our business continuity plan is not effective or ineffectively implemented or deployed during a disruption.

The Company believescontinued impact of the pandemic could negatively impact the availability of key third party service providers necessary to conduct our business and the ability of counterparties to meet contractual obligations to us.

Our financial results and results of operations could be negatively impacted by the inability of third-party vendors to provide services we rely on to conduct our business and operate effectively, including vendors that it has meritorious defensesprovide IT services, mortgage origination support services, corporate support services, government services or other operational support services.

Our use of financial leverage exposes us to increased risks, including breaches and additional potential breaches of the financial covenants under our borrowing facilities, which could result in our being required to immediately repay all outstanding amounts borrowed under these facilities and these facilities being unavailable to use for future financing needs, as well as triggering cross-defaults under other debt agreements.

Significant and widespread decreases in the fair values of our assets have caused and could continue to cause us to breach financial covenants under our borrowing facilities related to profitability, net worth and leverage. Such covenants, if breached, can result in our being required to immediately repay all outstanding amounts borrowed under these facilities and these facilities being unavailable to use for future financing needs, as well as triggering cross-defaults under other debt agreements. During the first and second quarters of 2020, we breached such financial covenants in certain borrowing agreements with our financing counterparties and were able to obtain waivers.  We continue to engage in discussions with our financing counterparties in regards to such financial covenants; however, we cannot be certain whether we will be able to remain in compliance with these financial covenants, or whether our financing counterparties will negotiate terms or amendments in respect of these financial covenants, the timing of any such negotiations or amendments or the terms thereof. Even if we continue to obtain temporary or permanent amendments or waivers from financing counterparties to amend and or waive financial covenants, there is uncertainno certainty that we will be able to remain in compliance with such amended covenants and or receive waivers in the Companyevent we breach a covenant.  If any of our counterparties elected not to renew our borrowing facility, we may not prevail in the lawsuits and can express no opinion asbe able to their ultimate resolution.

It is important for us to sell or securitize the loans we originate. Prepayment speeds on loans generated through our retail direct channel have been a concern for some investors dating back to 2016, which has resulted and could further result in adverse pricing or delays in our ability to sell or securitize loans and related MSRs on a timely and profitable basis.  The use of alternative exit strategies has resulted in and could further result in adverse pricing, delays in our ability to sell timely as a result of due diligence, investor overlays, and increased staffing.  In addition, reliance on these investors subjects us to changes in risk, collateral, and counterparty eligibility requirements which may affect our ability to deliver and securitize loans. If we are unable to meet all required eligibility criteria, which may be amended and/or implemented without notice, it could impact the volume, products, pricing, and servicing options for originated loans which could have a material adverse impact on overall operations, profitability and cash flows.  Additionally, there can be no assurance that investors will continue to purchase our collateral at favorable terms, or at all.  

Our NonQM product offerings may expose us to a higher risk of delinquencies, regulatory risks, foreclosures, counterparty risk and losses adversely affecting our earnings and financial condition.

We originate and acquire various types of residential mortgage products, which include NonQM and non-conforming loan products.  Unlike Qualified Mortgages, NonQM loans do not benefit from a presumption that the borrower has the ability to repay the loan. In the event that these NonQM mortgages begin to experience a significant rate of default, we could be subject to statutory claims for violations of the ability to repay standard.  Any such claims could materially and adversely affect our ability to underwrite these loans, our business, and results of operations.

ITEM 1A:  RISK FACTORS

A decline in the unpaid principal balance of the servicing portfolio and the related estimated fair value of the MSRs could adversely affect our net earnings,operations or financial condition, future servicing fees and our ability to borrow on the Company’s MSR financing facilities.

The servicing portfolioWhile we undertake initiatives to mitigate any exposure and use our commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that we have made a reasonable determination that the valueborrowers will have the ability to repay a loan, this type of product has increased risk and exposure to litigation and claims of borrowers. If, however, we were to make a loan which does not satisfy the regulatory standards for ascertaining the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, the consequences could include giving the borrower a defense to repayment of the related MSRsloan, which may prevent us from collecting interest and principal on that loan.

NonQM loans are sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates:

·

a decrease in interest rates may increase prepayment speeds which may lead to (i) increased amortization expense; (ii) decrease in servicing fees; and (iii) decrease in the value of our MSRs;

·

an increase in interest rates, together with an increase in monthly payments when an adjustable mortgage loan’s interest rate adjusts upward from an initial fixed rate or a low introductory rate, may cause increased delinquency, default and foreclosure. Increased mortgage defaults and foreclosures may adversely affect our business as they increase our expenses and reduce the number ofmortgages that generally did not qualify for purchase by government-sponsored entities such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Credit risks associated with all these mortgages we service;

Our servicing portfolio is subject to “run off”, meaning that mortgage loans serviced by us may be prepaid priorgreater than those associated with conforming mortgages. Mortgages made to maturitythese borrowers may entail a higher risk of delinquency and higher losses than mortgages made to borrowers who utilize conventional mortgage sources. Delinquency, foreclosures and losses generally increase during economic slowdowns or repaid through standard amortizationrecessions. The actual risk of principal. Asdelinquencies, foreclosures and losses on mortgages made to these borrowers may be higher to the extent the economy enters a result,recession.  The combination of different underwriting criteria and higher rates of interest can adversely affect our abilitybusiness and financial condition from higher prepayment rates and higher delinquency rates and /or credit losses.  Additionally, during periods of market dislocation, similar to maintainwhat occurred during the sizefirst and second quarters of 2020, liquidity for NonQM and non-conforming loan products suffer more acute pressure which creates a substantial widening of credit spreads on these assets, causing a severe decline in the values assigned by investors and counterparties for NonQM  and non-conforming assets.  These periods of market dislocation have adversely affected the values assigned to our servicing portfolio dependsNonQM and non-conforming assets.  Further periods of economic dislocation caused by the pandemic or other factors may adversely affect the liquidity for our products and may have a material adverse effect on our ability to retain the right to service the existing residential mortgages or to originate additional mortgages.  Significant “run off” could result in decreasing the estimated valuebusiness, financial condition and results of the MSRs, which could have an adverse impact our net earnings.operations.

Our MSR financing facilities generally allow us to borrow up 55% of the estimated fair value of MSRs.  A decline in value of the MSRs could limit our ability to borrow on these facilities.  Limitations on borrowings on these financing facilities imposed by the amount of eligible collateral pledged could affect the borrowing capacity of the facility, which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition.
