2.    Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

      The  Company is a  specialty  finance  company  which,  together  with its
      subsidiaries and related  companies,  operates three  businesses:  (1) the
      Long-Term Investment Operations,  (2) the Conduit Operations,  and (3) the
      Warehouse Lending Operations.  The Long-Term Investment Operations invests
      primarily in  non-conforming  residential  mortgage  loans and  securities
      backed  by such  loans.  The  Conduit  Operations  purchases  and sells or
      securitizes  primarily  non-conforming  mortgage loans,  and the Warehouse
      Lending  Operations   provides  warehouse  and  repurchase   financing  to
      originators of mortgage loans. These latter two businesses include certain
      ongoing  operations  contributed to the Company in 1995 by Imperial Credit
      Industries,  Inc. (NASDAQ - "ICII"),  a leading  specialty finance company
      (the  "Contribution  Transaction").  IMH is  organized  as a  real  estate
      investment trust ("REIT") for federal income tax purposes, which generally
      allows it to pass through qualified income to stockholders without federal
      income tax at the corporate level.

<PAGE>

      Long-Term  Investment  Operations.  The Long-Term  Investment  Operations,
      conducted by IMH, invests primarily in non-conforming residential mortgage
      loans and mortgage-backed  securities secured by or representing interests
      in  such  loans  and,  to a  lesser  extent,  in  second  mortgage  loans.
      Non-conforming  residential mortgage loans are residential  mortgages that
      do not qualify for purchase by  government-sponsored  agencies such as the
      Federal National Mortgage  Association  ("FNMA") and the Federal Home Loan
      Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"). Such loans generally provide higher yields
      than conforming loans. The principal  differences between conforming loans
      and non-conforming loans include the applicable  loan-to-value ratios, the
      credit and income histories of the mortgagors,  the documentation required
      for  approval  of the  mortgagors,  the type of  properties  securing  the
      mortgage loans, the loan sizes, and the mortgagors'  occupancy status with
      respect to the mortgaged  properties.  Second mortgage loans are generally
      higher  yielding  mortgage  loans secured by a second lien on the property
      and made to borrowers owning  single-family  homes for the purpose of debt
      consolidation,  home  improvements,  education  and  a  variety  of  other
      purposes.  At  September  30, 1997,  IMH's  mortgage  loan and  securities
      investment portfolio consisted of $694.4 million of mortgage loans held in
      trust as collateral  for  Collateralized  Mortgage  Obligations  ("CMOs"),
      $106.2 million of mortgage  loans held to maturity,  which will be used as
      CMO   collateral,   and  $71.4   million  of   mortgage-backed   or  other
      collateralized securities.

      Conduit Operations. The Conduit Operations,  conducted by ICIFC, purchases
      primarily  non-conforming  mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent,  second
      mortgage  loans from its network of third party  correspondents  and other
      sellers  and  subsequently  securitizes  or sells such loans to  permanent
      investors,  including the Long-Term Investment Operations. ICIFC's ability
      to  design  non-conforming  mortgage  loans  which  suit the  needs of its
      correspondent   loan  originators  and  their  borrowers  while  providing
      sufficient  credit  quality to investors,  as well as its  efficient  loan
      purchasing  process,  flexible purchase commitment options and competitive
      pricing,  enable  it to  compete  effectively  with  other  non-conforming
      mortgage loan  conduits.  In addition to earnings  generated  from ongoing
      securitizations  and sales to third party  investors,  ICIFC  supports the
      Long-Term  Investment  Operations  of the Company by supplying the Company
      with  non-conforming  mortgage loans and securities  backed by such loans.
      For the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 and the year ended  December
      31, 1996, ICIFC acquired $1.8 billion and $1.5 billion,  respectively,  of
      mortgage  loans and sold to third  party  investors  or  securitized  $1.0
      billion and $1.0 billion,  respectively,  of mortgage loans. The Long-Term
      Investment   Operations   acquired  $533.4  million  and  $591.6  million,
      respectively,  of loans  from  ICIFC as well as $12.6  million  and  $32.5
      million,  of  securities  created  by  ICIFC  for the  nine  months  ended
      September  30, 1997 and the year ended  December 31,  1996,  respectively.
      Prior to the Contribution Transaction,  ICIFC was a division or subsidiary

4.  Investment in IMH Commercial Holdings, Inc. 
    (formerly Imperial Credit Commercial Holdings, Inc.)

      The Company  records its investment in ICH on the equity method.  ICH is a
      recently formed specialty commercial property finance company which elects
      to be  taxed at the  corporate  level as a REIT  for  federal  income  tax
      purposes.  ICH was  incorporated  in  February  1997  for the  purpose  of
      investing  in   commercial   mortgages  and   commercial   mortgage-backed
      securities.  In March 1997, the Company capitalized ICH with $15.0 million
      in cash  evidenced  by a  promissory  note  which  was  converted  into an
      aggregate of 3,000,000  shares of ICH Preferred  Stock (the "ICH Preferred
      Stock").  On August 8 1997, the closing date of the ICH IPO, the Preferred
      Stock  converted  into shares of ICH Common Stock and  non-voting  Class A
      Common Stock.  Prior to the ICH IPO, the Company  owned 299,000  shares of
      ICH non-voting Class A Stock and 3,000,000 million shares of ICH Preferred
      Stock and was  entitled  to 49.92% of the  earnings or losses of ICH while
      certain  officers and directors of IMH and ICIFC,  owned 300,000 shares of
      ICH Common Stock and were  entitled to 50.08% of the earnings or losses of
      ICH. As of September 30, 1997,  IMH owns 719,789  shares,  or 9.8%, of ICH
      Common Stock and 674,211 shares, or 100%, of ICH non-voting Class A Stock.
      ICH was formed to seek  opportunities  in the commercial  mortgage market.
      Commercial     mortgage     assets     include     mortgage    loans    on
      condominium-conversions  and mortgage loans on commercial properties, such
      as industrial  and warehouse  space,  office  buildings,  retail space and
      shopping malls, hotels and motels, nursing homes, hospitals,  multifamily,
      congregate  care  facilities  and  senior  living  centers.  ICH will also
      purchase  mortgage-backed  securities  on commercial  properties,  such as
      pass-through certificates and REMICs.

      ICCC  was  formed  in  January  1997.  The  Company  purchased  all of the
      non-voting  Preferred Stock of ICCC, which represented 95% of the economic
      interest in ICCC,  for  $500,000.  On the closing date of the ICH IPO, the
      Company contributed (the "Contribution") 100% of the outstanding shares of
      non-voting  Preferred  Stock of ICCC in exchange for 95,000  shares of ICH
      Common Stock. ICCC operates three divisions: the Condominium Division, the
      Retail Division,  and the  Correspondent and Bulk Purchase  Division.  The
      Condominium Division offers, on a retail basis,  adjustable rate financing
      to developers and project  owners who have completed the  development of a
      condominium  complex  or  the  conversion  of an  apartment  complex  to a
      condominium complex on property with a typical loan amount of $3.0 million
      to $10.0 million. The Retail Division originates  commercial mortgages for
      properties  including  general retail  property such as shopping  centers,
      super markets and department stores, light industrial property, and office
      buildings  with  loan  amounts  between  $500,000  to  $1.5  million.  The
      Correspondent and Bulk Purchase Division originates  commercial  mortgages
      on a retail basis and  purchases  commercial  mortgages on a bulk and flow
      basis.  This division offers larger principal  balance loans ($1.5 million
      and $10.0 million) for commercial projects than those funded by the Retail
      Division.

      On August 8, 1997,  ICH  completed  an IPO of  6,325,000  shares of common
      stock at $15.00  per  share at which  time  299,000  shares of ICH Class A
      Stock and  3,000,000  shares of ICH  Preferred  Stock held by the  Company
      converted into 719,789 shares, or 9.8%, of ICH Common Stock in addition to
      674,211 shares, or 100%, of ICH Class A Stock. For additional  information
      regarding the ICH IPO, see Item 2.  "Management's  Discussion and Analysis
      of   Financial   Condition   and   Results   of    Operations--Significant
      Transactions." Summarized financial information for ICH (in thousands):

5.    Investment Securities Available-for-Sale

      The  Company  classifies  investment  and  mortgage-backed  securities  as
      held-to-maturity,    available-for-sale,    and/or   trading   securities.
      Held-to-maturity investment and mortgage-backed securities are reported at
      amortized cost,  available-for-sale  securities are reported at fair value
      with unrealized gains and losses as a separate  component of stockholders'
      equity,  and trading securities are reported at fair value with unrealized
      gains and losses  reported in income.  Discounts  obtained  on  investment
      securities are amortized to interest income over the estimated life of the
      investment  securities using the interest  method.  At September 30, 1997,
      IMH's investment securities  available-for-sale  included $66.0 million of
      subordinated  securities  collateralized  by mortgages and $5.4 million of
      subordinated  securities   collateralized  by  other  loans.  In  general,
      subordinated  classes of a particular series of securities bear all losses
      prior to the related senior classes.

      The  Company's  investment  securities  are  held  as  available-for-sale,
      reported  at fair value with  unrealized  gains and losses  reported  as a
      separate component of stockholders'  equity. As the Company qualifies as a
      REIT and no income  taxes are paid,  the  unrealized  gains and losses are
      reported gross in stockholders' equity.

6.    Stockholders' Equity

      In July 1997,  stock  options  totaling  4,000 shares were  exercised at
      an exercise  price of $20.625 per share, or $82,500.

      In August  1997,  the  Company  recorded an  adjustment  to equity of $3.8
      million as a result of the ICH IPO.

      In  September  1997,  the Board of Directors  declared a cash  dividend of
      $0.65 per share, or $0.43 per share after having given effect to the 3 for
      2 stock  split,  payable  October  15, 1997 to  stockholders  of record on
      September 15, 1997.

<PAGE>

      During the third quarter of 1997, the Company raised additional capital of
      $93.3 million,  net of offering expenses,  as 3.2 million shares of common
      stock  were  issued  through a public  stock  offering  and  401,944  were
      purchased  under the Company's  Dividend  Reinvestment  and Stock Purchase
      Plan.  After  giving  effect to the 3 for 2 stock  split,  the  additional
      shares of common  stock issued  through the public stock  offering and the
      Company's  Dividend  Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan were 4.8 million
      and 602,916, respectively.  Proceeds from the sale of securities were used
      for general corporate purposes including, without limitation,  funding the
      Long-Term Investment Operations,  the Conduit Operations and the Warehouse
      Lending  Operations,  repayment  of maturing  obligations,  redemption  of
      outstanding   indebtedness,   financing   future   acquisitions,   capital
      expenditures and working capital.

      In October 1997, the Board of Directors  approved a 3 for 2 stock split
      payable on November 24, 1997 to  stockholders of record on 
      November 3, 1997.

      ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The following Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
      and  Results  of  Operations  contains  forward-looking  statements  which
      involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ
      materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a
      result of certain factors

      References  to  financial  information  of the  Company for the three- and
      nine-month  periods ended September 30, 1997 reflect  financial results of
      IMH's equity interest in net income of ICIFC, IMH's equity interest in net
      income (loss) of ICH, IMH's equity interest in net loss of ICCC,  prior to
      ICH's IPO on August 8, 1997, and results of operations of IMH, IMH Assets,
      IWLG and Dove as  stand-alone  entities,  subsequent to the Company's IPO.
      See Item 2. "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition
      and  Results  of  Operations--Significant   Transactions"  for  additional
      information  on the ICH IPO. The results of operations of ICIFC,  of which
      99% of the economic  interest is owned by IMH, are included in the results
      of operations of IMH as "Equity in net income of ICI Funding Corporation."
      The results of operations of ICH, of which 17.4% of the economic  interest
      is owned by IMH,  are  included  in the  results of  operations  of IMH as
      "Equity in net income (loss) of IMH Commercial Holdings, Inc."

      Significant Transactions

      In February  1997,  certain  officers and  directors of the Company,  as a
      group, and IMH purchased 300,000 and 299,000 shares of the Common Stock of
      ICH,  respectively.  In  addition,  IMH  purchased  all of the  non-voting
      preferred stock of ICCC, which represents 95% of the economic  interest in
      ICCC, for $500,000, and certain of the Company's officers purchased all of
      the outstanding shares of common stock of ICCC, which represents 5% of the
      economic  interest in ICCC. In addition,  ICCC brokered  ICH's purchase of
      $7.3 million and $10.2 million of condominium  conversion loans which were
      financed  with  $16.6  million in  borrowings  under a  warehouse  lending
      facility  provided by a subsidiary of IMH, and $900,000 in borrowings from
      IMH.

      In March 1997, IMH loaned ICH $15.0 million evidenced by a promissory note
      convertible  into shares of non-voting  preferred stock of ICH at the rate
      of one share of ICH  Preferred  Stock for each $5.00  principal  amount of
      said note. IMH converted the aforementioned $15.0 million principal amount
      promissory  note into an aggregate of  3,000,000  shares of ICH  Preferred
      Stock. All shares of ICH Preferred Stock were automatically converted upon
      the closing of ICH's IPO into  shares of ICH Common  Stock  determined  by
      multiplying the number of shares of ICH Preferred Stock to be converted by
      a fraction,  the numerator of which is $5.00 and the  denominator of which
      is the IPO Price.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  consistent  with IMH's
      classification  as a REIT, IMH was not entitled to convert into ICH Common
      Stock more than that number of shares of ICH  Preferred  Stock whereby IMH
      would own,  immediately after such conversion,  greater than 9.8% of ICH's
      outstanding  Common Stock. Any shares of ICH Preferred Stock not converted
      into ICH Common Stock upon the closing of the Offering  shall on such date
      automatically  convert into shares of ICH non-voting  Class A Common Stock
      at the same rate as the ICH Preferred  Stock  converted into Common Stock.
      Shares  of ICH Class A Stock  convert  into  shares  of Common  Stock on a
      one-for-one  basis and each such class of Common Stock is entitled to cash
      dividends  on a pro rata basis.  Upon any  subsequent  issuances of Common
      Stock by ICH or sale of ICH Common Stock held by IMH,  shares of ICH Class
      A Stock shall  automatically  convert into additional shares of the Common
      Stock of ICH,  subject to a 9.8%  limitation.  In addition,  ICH purchased
      $10.1 million in Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities ("CMBS") from ICIFC
      which was financed with a promissory  note. The promissory note was repaid
      to ICIFC with cash from IMH's  above-referenced  $15.0 million investment.
      Concurrently,  ICH repaid the $900,000 owed to IMH in connection  with its
      purchase of condominium conversion loans. Subsequently, ICH entered into a
      borrowing  agreement  with ICII for $7.9 million  secured by $10.1 million
      CMBS.

      In April 1997, IMH exchanged the 299,000 shares of ICH Common Stock held
      by it for an equivalent  number of shares of ICH Class A Stock.

      Upon the closing of the ICH IPO in August  1997,  IMH  contributed  to ICH
      100% of the  outstanding  shares of non-voting  preferred stock of ICCC in
      exchange for 95,000 shares of ICH Class A Stock. As of September 30, 1997,
      IMH owns  719,789  shares,  or 9.8%,  of ICH Common  Stock in  addition to
      674,211 shares, or 100%, of ICH Class A Stock.

      In August 1997,  IMH/ICH Dove Street,  LLC, a California limited liability
      company,  of which each of IMH and ICH own a 50%  interest,  purchased  an
      office building for $7.8 million plus related  closing costs.  IMH and ICH
      intend  to  relocate  their  headquarters  to the  building  over the next
      two-year period.

      During the third quarter of 1997, the Company raised additional capital of
      $93.3 million,  net of offering expenses,  as 3.2 million shares of common
      stock  were  issued  through a public  stock  offering  and  401,944  were
      purchased  under the Company's  Dividend  Reinvestment  and Stock Purchase
      Plan.  After  giving  effect to the 3 for 2 stock  split,  the  additional
      shares of common  stock issued  through the public stock  offering and the
      Company's  Dividend  Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan were 4.8 million
      and 602,916, respectively.  Proceeds from the sale of securities were used
      for general corporate purposes including, without limitation,  funding the
      Long-Term Investment Operations,  the Conduit Operations and the Warehouse
      Lending  Operations,  repayment  of maturing  obligations,  redemption  of
      outstanding   indebtedness,   financing   future   acquisitions,   capital
      expenditures and working capital.

      Historical Trends

      During  the  year  ended   December  31,  1996,   ICIFC's   mortgage  loan
      acquisitions increased 35% to $1.5 billion as compared to $1.1 billion for
      the same period in 1995.  Excluding the acquisition of mortgage loans from
      ICII or its affiliated mortgage banking operations,  ICIFC's mortgage loan
      acquisitions  increased  110% to $1.3  billion  during 1996 as compared to
      $624.5 million during 1995. The increase in mortgage loan acquisitions for
      1996 as  compared  to 1995  was  primarily  the  result  of the  Company's
      increased  marketing  and sales efforts  subsequent to the IPO,  increased
      concentration  on identifying  and servicing  productive  conduit  sellers
      under  master  commitment  programs  and  significantly   increased  sales
      activity from two conduit sellers.  ICIFC's  outstanding master commitment
      programs with various  sellers to purchase  mortgages  increased to $826.5
      million with 68 sellers at December 31, 1996 as compared to $241.0 million
      with 18 sellers at December 31,  1995.  Additionally,  in  September  1996
      ICIFC introduced it's  Progressive  Express loan program which resulted in
      ICIFC funding $22.0 million in mortgages during 1996. The benefits of this
      program  include less paperwork for the borrower,  express credit approval
      and  attractive  rates and terms.  At December 31, 1996,  the  Progressive
      Express  program  represented  47% of the $826.5  million  in  outstanding
      master   commitments.   In   conjunction   with  the   increase   in  flow
      (loan-by-loan)  acquisitions,   as  opposed  to  bulk  loan  acquisitions,
      subsequent to the  Contribution  Transaction  and the continued  growth of
      ICIFC, ICIFC added personnel in 1996. At December 31, 1996, ICIFC employed
      104 employees, an increase of 189% from 36 employees at December 31, 1995.

      During the nine months ended  September  30, 1997,  ICIFC's  mortgage loan
      acquisitions  increased  57% to $1.8  billion as compared to $1.2  billion
      during the first nine months of 1996.  Excluding  mortgages  acquired from
      affiliated  companies,  mortgage acquisitions during the first nine months
      of 1997 increased 93% to $1.8 billion as compared to $957.3 million during
      the first nine months of 1996. The increase in mortgage loan  acquisitions
      during the first nine  months of 1997 as  compared  to the same  period of
      1996 was the result of mortgages funded under the Progressive Express loan
      program,  outstanding  master  commitment  programs  with various  conduit
      sellers to purchase  mortgage  loans and an improved  real estate  market,
      particularly in California  where the Company acquired 32.6% of it's loans
      during the first nine months of 1997.  Under the Progressive  Express loan
      program, ICIFC funded $557.9 million during the first nine months of 1997,
      or 30.2% of total loan  acquisitions,  as compared to $1.9 million  during
      the first nine months of 1996 as the program was  introduced  in September
      1996. Additionally, as of September 30, 1997, ICIFC had outstanding master
      commitments  with 78 sellers to purchase  mortgage  loans in the aggregate
      principal  amount of $1.2  billion as  compared  to 62 sellers to purchase
      mortgage loans in the aggregate  principal  amount of $774.0 million as of
      September 30, 1996. At September 30, 1997, the Progressive Express program
      represented 51.2% of the $1.2 billion in outstanding  master  commitments.
      Due to the continued growth of ICIFC during the first nine months of 1997,
      ICIFC added  personnel.  At September  30, 1997,  there were 143 employees
      with ICIFC, a 37.5% increase from 104 employees as of December 31, 1996.

      Results of Operations

      Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 as Compared to Three Months
      Ended September 30, 1996

     Net  income  for the  third  quarter  of 1997  increased  102% to $7.2
     million,  or $0.45 per share,  as  compared to $3.6  million,  or $0.35 per
     share,  for the third quarter of 1996.  Earnings per share for both periods
     are stated after giving effect to the 3 for 2 stock split.

     Revenues for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1997  increased 85% to
     $32.8 million as compared to $17.7 million for the quarter ended  September
     30, 1996.  Revenues  increased during the third quarter of 1997 as compared
     to the third quarter of 1996 primarily due to increased interest income and
     equity in net income of ICIFC and ICH.  Interest  income  increased  70% to
     $29.6 million during the third quarter of 1997 as compared to $17.4 million
     during the third quarter of 1996 as total average Mortgage Assets increased
     66% to $1.4 billion as compared to $841.6  million during the third quarter
     of 1996. Average Mortgage Assets are comprised of CMO collateral,  mortgage
     loans   held   for   investment,   warehouse   financing   and   securities
     available-for-sale.  Interest  income on CMO  collateral and loans held for
     investment increased 102% to $16.2 million during the third quarter of 1997
     as compared to $8.0  million  during the same period of 1996 as average CMO
     collateral and mortgage loans held for investment  increased 105% to $782.3
     million as compared to $381.5 million, respectively. Average CMO collateral
     and  loans  held for  investment  increased  as the  Company  issued  CMO's
     totaling  $348.1  million  since  the end of the  third  quarter  of  1996.
     Interest  income from  warehouse  financing  increased 44% to $12.7 million
     during the third  quarter of 1997 as  compared to $8.8  million  during the
     same period of 1996 as average finance receivables  increased 33% to $567.5
     million as  compared  to $425.9  million,  respectively,  primarily  due to
     increased   warehouse   financing  with  ICIFC.  The  increase  in  ICIFC's
     borrowings with the Company were the result of increased loan  acquisitions
     during the three months ended  September  30, 1997 which  increased  76% to
     $918.2  million as compared to $520.5  million  during the third quarter of
     1996. Loan  acquisitions by ICIFC during the third quarter of 1997 includes
     $351.8  million of second trust deed  mortgages  purchased in bulk from one
     seller and $230.9 million of Progressive  Express loans as compared to none
     and $1.9 million,  respectively, of loans acquired during the third quarter
     of  1996.   Additionally,   interest   income  on   investment   securities
     available-for-sale  increased 43% to $2.0 million  during the third quarter
     of 1997 as compared  to $1.4  million  during the third  quarter of 1996 as
     average  investment  securities  available-for-sale  increased 48% to $61.5
     million  as  compared  to $41.5  million,  respectively.  The  increase  in
     securities  available-for-sale  is  primarily  the  result  of the  Company
     purchasing and retaining in portfolio mortgage-backed  securities issued by
     ICIFC's REMIC securitizations.

      Revenues  also  increased  as IMH's  equity in net  income of ICI  Funding
      Corporation  increased to $2.4 million during the third quarter of 1997 as
      compared to $101,000  for the third  quarter of 1996 while IMH's equity in
      net income of ICH increased to $403,000  during the third quarter of 1997.
      ICIFC's earnings  increased as ICIFC securitized or sold $481.6 million of
      mortgages  during the third quarter of 1997 as compared to $307.3  million
      during the third quarter of 1996. The securitization and sale of mortgages
      during the third quarter of 1997 resulted in gains of $5.3 million, or 110
      basis points, as compared to $1.6 million, or 52 basis points,  during the
      same period of 1996.  The  increase in gain on sale of loans is the result
      of increased profits from whole loan sales and the securitization of loans
      funded under the  Progressive  Express  program,  which was  introduced in
      September 1996. Progressive Express is a loan program with a one-page loan
      application that includes less paperwork for the borrower,  express credit
      approval and attractive rates and terms. Additionally,  revenues from loan
      servicing  income  increased to $1.1 million for the third quarter of 1997
      as  compared  to  $353,000  for the same  period in 1996 as  ICIFC's  loan
      servicing  portfolio  increased to $2.4  billion at September  30, 1997 as
      compared to $1.2  billion at September  30, 1996.  Equity in net income of
      IMH  Commercial  Holdings,  Inc.  increased  to $403,000  during the third
      quarter of 1997 as compared  to none  during the third  quarter of 1996 as
      ICH was formed in February of 1997.

<PAGE>

      Expenses for the third  quarter of 1997  increased 80% to $25.6 million as
      compared to $14.2 million for the third  quarter of 1996  primarily due to
      increases in interest expense,  management advisory fees and provision for
      loan losses.  Interest  expense  increased 83% to $21.8 million during the
      third  quarter  of 1997 as  compared  to $11.9  million  during  the third
      quarter of 1996 as average  borrowings,  which  includes CMO financing and
      reverse-repurchase  and warehouse line  agreements,  increased 65% to $1.3
      billion as  compared to $787.3  million,  respectively.  These  borrowings
      provide  funding for CMO  collateral,  mortgage loans held for investment,
      warehouse  financing and investment  securities  available-for-sale  which
      increased  during  the  third  quarter  of 1997 as  compared  to the third
      quarter  of  1996  as  previously  discussed.   Management  advisory  fees
      increased 51% to $1.5 million during the third quarter of 1997 as compared
      to  $1.0  million  during  the  third  quarter  of 1996  primarily  due to
      increases  in total  Mortgage  Assets and net income which are used in the
      calculation  of the  management  advisory  fee.  Provision for loan losses
      increased  124%  to $1.9  million  during  the  third  quarter  of 1997 as
      compared to $835,000 during the third quarter of 1996 as loan  receivables
      increased  during the respective  periods.  Loan  receivables  include CMO
      collateral,  mortgage  loans held for sale and  warehouse  financing.  The
      Company  maintained an allowance for loan losses expressed as a percentage
      of loan receivables of 0.52% at September 30, 1997 as compared to 0.50% at
      December  31,  1996 and  0.53%  at  September  30,  1996.  As the  Company
      experiences  increases in loan receivables and corresponding  increases in
      delinquencies, the Company expects to continue to add to the allowance for
      loan  losses.  The Company  maintains a policy of  reducing  the  carrying
      amount  on all  foreclosed  property  to 70% of it's  appraised  value  or
      brokers  price opinion which  resulted in gain on sale or  disposition  of
      real estate owned of $144,000 during the third quarter of 1997 as compared
      to none during the third quarter of 1996.  The company  reserves the right
      to modify this policy as market  change and  residual  values  increase on
      disposition  of REO's  There was no real  estate  owned  which was sold or
      disposed during the third quarter of 1996. Other operating expenses, which
      includes  professional  services,  general and administrative  expense and
      personnel  expense,  increased 33% to $574,000 during the third quarter of
      1997 as compared to $431,000 during the third quarter of 1996. However, as
      a percentage of total expense,  other operating expenses decreased to 2.2%
      during the third  quarter  of 1997 as  compared  to 3.0%  during the third
      quarter of 1996.

      Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 as Compared to Nine Months 
      Ended September 30, 1996

      Net income for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 increased 153% to
      $18.7 million,  or $1.25 per share, as compared to $7.4 million,  or $0.93
      per share,  for the nine months ended  September  30,  1996.  Earnings per
      share for both periods are stated after giving effect to the 3 for 2 stock
      split.

     Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased 83% to
     $83.5  million as  compared  to $45.7  million  for the nine  months  ended
     September  30,  1996.  Revenues  increased  during  the nine  months  ended
     September 30, 1997 as compared to the same period of 1996  primarily due to
     increased  interest  income  and  equity in net  income of ICIFC.  Interest
     income  increased  73% to $76.7  million  during the nine months of 1997 as
     compared to $44.3  million  during the same period of 1996 as total average
     Mortgage  Assets  increased  70% to $1.2  billion  as  compared  to  $705.0
     million,  respectively.  Average  Mortgage  Assets  are  comprised  of  CMO
     collateral,  mortgage loans held for  investment,  warehouse  financing and
     securities available-for-sale.  Interest income on CMO collateral and loans
     held for investment  increased 187% to $39.2 million during the nine months
     of 1997 as  compared  to $13.7  million  during the same  period of 1996 as
     average CMO collateral  and mortgage  loans held for  investment  increased
     222% to $752.2 million as compared to $233.9 million, respectively. Average
     CMO  collateral  and loans held for  investment  increased  as the  Company
     issued CMO's totaling  $348.1 million since the end of the third quarter of
     1996.  Interest  income  from  warehouse  financing  decreased  5% to $27.5
     million  during the nine  months  ended  September  30, 1997 as compared to
     $28.9 million during the same period of 1996 as average finance receivables
     decreased 3% to $426.6 million as compared to $439.8 million, respectively,
     primarily due to decreased  warehouse financing with ICIFC. The decrease in
     ICIFC's  average  borrowings  with the Company were the result of increased
     whole loan sales to third parties and the Long-Term  Investment  Operations
     and REMIC  securitizations  which offset an increase of 54% to $1.8 billion
     of loan  acquisitions  during the nine months ended  September  30, 1997 as
     compared to $1.2 billion during the same period of 1996. Loan  acquisitions
     by ICIFC during the nine months ended  September 30, 1997  includes  $351.8
     million of second  trust deed  mortgages  purchased in bulk from one seller
     and $557.9  million of  Progressive  Express  loans as compared to none and
     $1.9 million,  respectively,  of loans  acquired  during the same period of
     1996.    Additionally,    interest   income   on   investment    securities
     available-for-sale  increased  74% to $6.1  million  during the nine months
     ended September 30, 1997 as compared to $3.5 million during the same period
     of 1996 as average investment securities  available-for-sale  increased 89%
     to $59.2 million as compared to $31.3 million,  respectively.  The increase
     in  securities  available-for-sale  is primarily  the result of the Company
     purchasing and retaining in portfolio mortgage-backed  securities issued by
     ICIFC's REMIC securitizations.

<PAGE>

      Revenues  also  increased  as IMH's  equity in net  income of ICI  Funding
      Corporation  increased  to $6.1  million  during  the  nine  months  ended
      September  30, 1997 as  compared to $718,000  for the same period of 1996.
      ICIFC's  earnings  increased as ICIFC  securitized or sold $1.4 billion of
      mortgages  during  the nine  months of 1997 as  compared  to $1.5  billion
      during the same period of 1996. The  securitization  and sale of mortgages
      during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 resulted in gains of $14.4
      million,  or 103 basis  points,  as  compared  $5.6  million,  or 37 basis
      points,  during the same period of 1996.  The  increase in gain on sale of
      loans is the result of  increased  profits  from whole loan cash sales and
      the securitization of loans funded under the Progressive  Express program,
      which was  introduced  in September  1996.  Progressive  Express is a loan
      program with a one-page loan  application that includes less paperwork for
      the borrower,  express  credit  approval and  attractive  rates and terms.
      Additionally,  revenues  from  loan  servicing  income  increased  to $3.0
      million  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997 as  compared to
      $622,000 for the same period in 1996 as ICIFC's loan  servicing  portfolio
      increased  to $2.4  billion at  September  30,  1997 as  compared  to $1.2
      billion at September 30, 1996.

      Expenses for the nine months ended  September  30, 1997  increased  69% to
      $64.8  million as  compared  to $38.3  million for the same period of 1996
      primarily due to increases in interest expense,  management  advisory fees
      and provision  for loan losses.  Interest  expense  increased 75% to $54.8
      million during the nine months of 1997 as compared to $31.4 million during
      the  same  period  of 1996  as  average  borrowings,  which  includes  CMO
      financing and reverse-repurchase and warehouse line agreements,  increased
      65% to $1.1  billion as compared to $668.5  million,  respectively.  These
      borrowings  provide  funding for CMO  collateral,  mortgage loans held for
      investment,     warehouse    financing    and    investment     securities
      available-for-sale  which  increased  during  the nine  months  of 1997 as
      compared to the same period of 1996 as  previously  discussed.  Management
      advisory fees  increased 100% to $4.3 million during the nine months ended
      September  30, 1997 as compared to $2.2 million  during the same period of
      1996  primarily due to increases in total  Mortgage  Assets and net income
      which  are  used  in the  calculation  of  the  management  advisory  fee.
      Provision for loan losses  increased  13% to $4.3 million  during the nine
      months of 1997 as compared to $3.7 million  during the same period of 1996
      as  loan  receivables   increased  during  the  respective  periods.  Loan
      receivables  include  CMO  collateral,  mortgage  loans  held for sale and
      warehouse  financing.  The Company maintained an allowance for loan losses
      expressed as a percentage  of loan  receivables  of 0.52% at September 30,
      1997 as compared to 0.51% at December 31, 1996 and 0.53% at September  30,
      1996.  As the  Company  experiences  increases  in  loan  receivables  and
      corresponding increases in delinquencies,  the Company expects to continue
      to add to the allowance for loan losses. The Company maintains a policy of
      reducing the  carrying  amount on all  foreclosed  property to 70% of it's
      appraised value or brokers price opinion which resulted in gain on sale or
      disposition of real estate owned of $120,000  during the nine months ended
      September  30,  1997 as  compared  to none during the same period of 1996.
      There was no real estate owned which was sold or disposed  during the nine
      months ended September 30, 1996. Other operating  expense,  which includes
      professional  services,  general and administrative  expense and personnel
      expense  increased  51% to $1.5  million  during  the  nine  months  ended
      September  30, 1997 as compared to $1.0 million  during the same period of
      1996. However, as a percentage of total expense,  other operating expenses
      decreased  to 2.3%  during the nine  months  ended  September  30, 1997 as
      compared to 2.6% during the same period of 1996.

      Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Company's principal liquidity  requirements result from mortgage loans
      and  mortgage-backed and other  collateralized  securities acquired by the
      Long-Term  Investment  Operations,  the Conduit Operations  acquisition of
      mortgage loans held for sale and the funding of finance receivables by the
      Warehouse  Lending  Operations.  The  Long-Term  Investment  Operations is
      primarily funded by CMO financing, warehouse financing, reverse-repurchase
      borrowings on securities available-for-sale and proceeds from the issuance
      of common stock. The Warehouse  Lending  Operations is primarily funded by
      warehouse line agreements with major investment banking firms. The Conduit
      Operations is primarily funded by the  securitization and sale of mortgage

      During the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 and 1996,  net cash (used
      in) or  provided by  operating  activities  was  $(10.4)  million and $5.5
      million,  respectively. Net cash flows were negatively affected during the
      first nine  months of 1997 as  compared  to the first nine  months of 1996
      primarily  as due from  affiliates  and other assets  increased.  Due from
      affiliates  and other assets  increased to $26.7 million and $5.1 million,
      respectively,  during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared
      $7.7 million and $453,000,  respectively,  during the same period of 1996.
      The  increase  in  balances  due from  affiliates  is  attributable  to an
      increase in balances due from ICIFC which  increased  to $26.7  million at
      September 30, 1997 as compared to none at December 31, 1996.  Other assets
      increased primarily due to the Company's 50% investment in the purchase of
      a commercial building of $3.9 million during the third quarter of 1997.

      Net cash used in investing  activities for the nine months ended September
      30, 1997 and 1996 was $(276.1) million and $(177.1) million, respectively.
      Net cash flows were  negatively  affected  during the first nine months of
      1997 as  compared  to the  first  nine  months  of 1996  primarily  due to
      increases  in  outstanding  finance  receivables,  primarily  with  ICIFC,
      mortgage loans held for investment and contributions to fund ICH. Net cash
      flows were  positively  affected  during the first nine  months of 1997 as
      compared   to  the  first   nine   months  of  1996  from   increases   of
      mortgage-backed securities and loans held in trust as CMO collateral.

      Net cash  provided  by  financing  activities  for the nine  months  ended
      September  30,  1997 and 1996  was  $299.8  million  and  $174.4  million,
      respectively.  Net cash flows were positively  affected for the first nine
      months  of  1997  as  warehouse  line  agreements  used  to  fund  finance
      receivables,  primarily to ICIFC,  decreased.  Cash flows were  positively
      affected as the Company raised additional capital from the Company's stock
      offering,  which  closed  in the  third  quarter  of  1997,  and  from the
      Company's  dividend  reinvestment  and stock purchase plan. Net cash flows
      were negatively  affected during the first nine months of 1997 as compared
      to the first nine months of 1996 as CMO financing  decreased and dividends
      paid increased.

      Warehouse Lending Operations

      At September 30, 1997,  the Company had $645.1  million of CMO  borrowings
      used to finance  $694.4  million of CMO  collateral  held by the Long-Term
      Investment  Operations.   The  Company  uses  CMO  borrowings  to  finance
      substantially all of its mortgage loan investment  portfolio as a means of
      eliminating  certain risks associated with reverse  repurchase  agreements
      (such as the potential  need for deposits of additional  collateral)  that
      are not present with CMO borrowings.  Terms of the CMO borrowings  require
      that the mortgages be held by an independent  third party custodian,  with
      the  interest  rate on the  borrowings  ranging from 22 basis points to 50
      basis points over  one-month  LIBOR.  Equity in the CMOs is established at
      the time the CMOs are  issued  at levels  sufficient  to  achieve  desired
      credit ratings on the securities  from the rating  agencies.  Total credit
      loss exposure to the Company is limited to the equity invested in the CMOs
      at any point in time.

<PAGE>

      Terms of the  Company's  reverse  repurchase  agreements  require that the
      mortgages be held by an independent third party custodian, which gives the
      Company the ability to borrow  against the  collateral  as a percentage of
      the outstanding  principal balance.  The margins on the reverse repurchase
      agreements are based on the type of mortgage collateral used and generally
      range  from 90% to 98% of the fair  market  value of the  collateral.  The
      following  represents the available  warehouse line agreements (dollars in
      thousands):

      In August  1997,  ICH agreed to provide to IMH a $15.0  million  revolving
      line of  credit  expiring  on August  8,  1998 at an  interest  rate to be
      determined at the time of each advance with  interest and  principal  paid
      monthly. As of September 30, 1997, there was no balance outstanding on the
      line of credit.

      During the third quarter of 1997, the Company raised additional capital of
      $93.3 million,  net of offering expenses,  as 3.2 million shares of common
      stock  were  issued  through a public  stock  offering  and  401,944  were
      purchased  under the Company's  Dividend  Reinvestment  and Stock Purchase
      Plan.  After  giving  effect to the 3 for 2 stock  split,  the  additional
      shares of common  stock issued  through the public stock  offering and the
      Company's  Dividend  Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan were 4.8 million
      and 602,916, respectively.  Proceeds from the sale of securities were used
      for general corporate purposes including, without limitation,  funding the
      Long-Term Investment Operations,  the Conduit Operations and the Warehouse
      Lending  Operations,  repayment  of maturing  obligations,  redemption  of
      outstanding   indebtedness,   financing   future   acquisitions,   capital
      expenditures and working capital.


      Conduit Operations

      On the date of the Contribution Transaction,  ICIFC entered into a reverse
      repurchase agreement with the Warehouse Lending Operations for the purpose
      of providing  ICIFC mortgage loan  financing  during the period that ICIFC
      accumulates mortgage loans and when the mortgage loans are securitized and
      sold.  Additionally,  in September 1997, ICIFC entered into warehouse line
      agreements  with  two  investment   banking  firms  to  provide  warehouse
      financing.  The margins on the reverse repurchase  agreements are based on
      the type of collateral  used and  generally  range from 85% to 100% of the
      fair market value of the collateral.  By securitizing and selling loans on
      a periodic  and  consistent  basis,  the reverse  repurchase  facility was
      sufficient to handle  liquidity needs during the first nine months of 1997
      and 1996. The following represents the available warehouse line agreements
      (dollars in thousands):

      On June 24, 1997, the Company contributed $8.9 million in cash to ICIFC to
      repay borrowed funds to ICH and to increase liquidity on ICIFC's warehouse
      line with IWLG.

      On  December   31,   1996,   ICIFC   purchased   residual   interests   in
      securitizations  from ICII. At September 30, 1997, the residual  interests
      in  securitizations  total $37.4  million and are financed by a promissory
      note with ICII at an annual  interest  rate of 10%.  The  promissory  note
      requires six monthly interest only payments of $246,180  beginning on July
      1,  1997,  and  continuing  on the  same  day  of  each  succeeding  month
      thereafter;  followed by one hundred and eleven  monthly  installments  of
      $408,974 each. As of September 30, 1997, the current  principal balance of
      the promissory note was $28.9 million.

      In October 1997, ICH agreed to provide to ICIFC a $15.0 million  revolving
      line of credit  expiring on December 31, 1997 at an interest rate of Prime
      plus 1% with interest and principal paid monthly.  As of October 31, 1997,
      there was $2.0 million outstanding on the line of credit.
