Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

Impac as Plan Administrator of

Impac Companies 401(k) Savings Plan

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of Impac Companies 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 2004, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2004 and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

 

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2004 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Impac Companies 401(k) Savings Plan

(formerly known as the Impac Funding Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan)

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

December 31, 2004 and 2003

 

(1) Description of Plan

 

The following description of the Impac Companies 401(k) Savings Plan (formerly known as the Impac Funding Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan) (the Plan), provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. Effective January 1, 2004, the Plan’s name was amended from Impac Funding Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan to Impac Companies 401(k) Savings Plan.

 

  (a) General

 

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible employees of Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. (the Principal Employer) and its affiliated companies. Employees become eligible for participation in the Plan upon 6 months of employment. Participants must be employed on the last day of the Plan year to share in the employer’s matching contribution. In order to become a participant, each eligible employee authorizes contributions by filing a 401(k) enrollment/change of status election. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

 

Prior to January 1, 2001, the Principal Employer and its affiliated companies participated in the Imperial Credit Industries, Inc. Salary Investment Plan (the Prior Plan) for the benefit of its employees.

 

Effective as of January 1, 2001, the portion of the Prior Plan attributable to the employees of the Principal Employer and its affiliated companies was amended and restated as a separate Plan. The terms of the Plan are set forth and intended to continue to qualify as a profit sharing trust which meets the qualification and tax exemption requirements of Section 401(a) and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any other provisions of applicable law.

 

  (b) Contributions

 

No contribution is required by the Principal Employer; however, at the discretion of its board of directors, the Principal Employer may contribute out of its income and/or accumulated earned surplus an amount equal to a specified percentage of the tax-deferred contribution of the participants or a profit sharing contribution with the amount to be determined by the board of directors. The maximum annual participant contribution is 25% and 7% for “non-highly compensated” employees and “highly compensated” employees, respectively. For 2004, the Principal Employer chose to match the participants’ contributions at a rate of 50% of the portion of the Participants’ Elective Contribution not in excess of 4% of compensation. In addition, the Principal Employer elected to make additional discretionary matches.

 

  (c) Participant Accounts

 

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocation of (a) the Principal Employer’s contribution and (b) Plan earnings. Allocations other than the Principal Employer’s matching contributions are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s account.

 

  (d) Participants Loans

 

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance during the preceding 12 months or

50% of their vested account balance. Loan repayments are to be made over a period not to exceed 5 years, except loans for the purchase of a primary residence in which case payment may exceed 5 years. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at a rate of prime plus 1%. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions.

 

  (e) Vesting

 

Participation in the Plan is voluntary. Employee contributions and the earnings as a result of each participant’s contributions are 100% vested and nonforfeitable. The Principal Employer’s basic matching contributions are 100% vested and nonforfeitable. The Principal Employer’s discretionary match shall become 100% vested after 3 years of service, on the participant’s attaining age 65, or on the participant’s death or total and permanent disablement.

 

  (f) Payment of Benefits

 

On termination of service, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the vested balance of his or her account or annual (or more frequent) installments over a period not to exceed the life expectancy of the participant.

 

  (g) Forfeited Accounts

 

Under the terms of the Plan, forfeitures shall be used to reduce future employer contributions or to defray the expenses of the Plan. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $3,741 and $32,000 respectively. The amount forfeited during the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 totaled $76,847 and $64,556, respectively.

 

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

  (a) Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

 

  (b) Trust Fund Managed by Investment Advisory Committee

 

Under the terms of the Plan, the assets of the Plan are placed in trust with UBS Fiduciary Trust Company (the Trust), and are held by Mellon Trust, custodian. Assets are managed under the direction of Employee Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Principal Employer’s board of directors (the Committee). The Committee has delegated certain of its ordinary management and investment responsibilities to certain members of the Company’s Executive Committee and the Vice President of Human Resources. Committee members are appointed for an indefinite term by the Company’s board of directors. The Committee has full discretionary authority to administer the Plan and the trust agreement.

 

The investments and changes therein of these trust funds are reported at fair market values based upon quotations obtained from national securities exchanges or latest bid prices. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are computed using the average cost method. Participant loans are carried at their outstanding balance which approximates fair value.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

December 31, 2004 and 2003

 

  (c) Allocation of Plan Assets

 

Employee contributions are allocated to various funds based on the election made by each participant. Net income or loss of each fund is allocated on the basis of the proportionate asset balance of each participant as of the previous valuation date after adjustment for withdrawals, distributions, and other additions or subtractions that may be appropriate. Under the daily valuation record-keeping system, earnings are allocated on the basis of current shares held in each participant’s account and the accounts are valued daily.

 

  (d) Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Substantially all of the Plan’s financial instruments are carried at fair value or amounts approximating fair value. The UBS GIC Portfolio is carried at contract value or amounts approximating contract value.

 

  (e) Use of Estimates

 

Certain estimates and assumptions have been made relating to the reporting of Plan assets, liabilities and changes in related net assets to prepare the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  (f) Administrative Expenses

 

All administrative expenses of the Plan are paid directly by the Principal Employer.

 

  (g) Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Plan provides for various investment options including mutual funds and common stock. Investments are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit. Due to the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in various risk factors in the near term could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the financial statements.

 

  (h) Concentration

 

The Plan’s investment in Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. common stock comprises 49% and 51% of its net assets as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
