                    REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 1998 INVESTMENTS


LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, July 8, 1998. Imperial Credit Commercial Mortgage
Investment Corp. (Nasdaq: ICMI) today reported that it invested $215 million
directly or through its wholly-owned subsidiaries in a number of acquisition
transactions during the second quarter of 1998, bringing the Company's total
assets under management to approximately $700 million. The second quarter
investments included $130 million of mortgage loans and $85 million of real
property.

The Company's mortgage loan investments during the second quarter consisted of
$93 million of performing multifamily and commercial mortgage loans acquired
from Southern Pacific Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Imperial Credit
Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: ICII), and $55 million in performing mortgage loans
from Franchise Mortgage Acceptance Corp. (Nasdaq: FMAX), an affiliate of the
Company's manager. In June, FMAX exercised a call provision and purchased $21
million of these loans. The Company also funded $1 million under a previously
announced $20 million first mortgage loan facility provided to On Stage
Entertainment, Inc.

The Company added to its real property investments by acquiring The Terraces, a
178,000 square foot shopping center in Palos Verdes, California. Previously
announced second quarter real property investments included the 149,000 square
foot Atrium Tower in Las Vegas, Nevada, the 343,000 square foot Mission
Marketplace in Oceanside, California and fourteen properties in Arizona, Texas
and New Mexico subject to a "triple-net" lease with the Ugly Duckling
Corporation.

The Company borrowed $167 million under its existing lines of credit in
conjunction with its acquisitions during the second quarter of 1998, and the
real property assets were acquired subject to $35 million of existing first
mortgage loans.

"We are pleased with our ramp-up to date and our diversification into income-
producing real estate assets" said Mark S. Karlan, President and CEO of the
Company. "We are taking advantage of our credit facilities, our significant
pipeline of investment opportunities and our capability to source, acquire and
