NEW YORK, NY - AUGUST 8, 2007 - American Mortgage  Acceptance Company ("AMAC" or

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS:

     o    Strong  Revenue  Growth:  reported  revenues of $15.3  million for the
          second quarter, an increase of 111.2% year over year;

     o    Reported  Adjusted Funds from  Operations  ("AFFO")* of  approximately
          $2.8 million or $0.33 per diluted share for the second quarter;

     o    Diversified  Investment  Activity:  investment  volume  for the second
          quarter increased  approximately 64.0% year over year. AMAC originated
          or acquired first mortgage and mezzanine loans, subordinated notes and
          commercial mortgage backed securities ("CMBS") totaling  approximately
          $257.0 million secured by multifamily, office, hotel, retail and mixed
          use properties; and

     o    Continued  Portfolio  Performance:  investment  portfolio continues to
          perform  well  with  no  assets  entering  special  servicing  and  no
          impairments recorded during the quarter.

"We are pleased to report  another  solid  quarter of  operating  and  financial
results,"  said J. Larry  Duggins,  Chief  Executive  Officer of AMAC.  "In this
increasingly  volatile  market,  AMAC  continues  to  successfully  execute  our
business plan and locate  opportunities.  In the second  quarter,  AMAC acquired
$115.3 million of investment grade CMBS at very attractive,  accretive  spreads.
Our earnings were in line with our  expectations  and the credit  quality of our
assets remains stable."

FINANCIAL RESULTS

The table below summarizes AMAC's revenues, net income, FFO and adjusted FFO for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. FFO for the three and six

value of derivative instruments, net of certain associated costs. Therefore, the
Company is reporting FFO both  excluding  ("Adjusted  FFO") and including  these
changes and costs.

(1)  FFO represents  net income or loss  (computed in accordance  with generally
     accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")),  excluding gains (or losses) from
     sales of property, excluding depreciation and amortization relating to real
     property and  including  funds from  operations  for  unconsolidated  joint
     ventures  calculated on the same basis.  AMAC  calculates FFO in accordance
     with the NAREIT  definition.  FFO does not represent  cash  generated  from
     operating  activities  in  accordance  with  GAAP  and is  not  necessarily
     indicative  of cash  available  to  fund  cash  needs.  FFO  should  not be
     considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating
     performance  or as an  alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
     Our  management   considers  FFO  a   supplemental   measure  of  operating
     performance,   and,  along  with  cash  flows  from  operating  activities,
     financing activities,  and investing activities, it provides investors with
     an  indication  of the ability of the Company to incur and service debt, to
     make  capital  expenditures,  and to fund other cash  needs.  Since not all
     companies  calculate FFO in a similar fashion,  our calculation,  presented
     above, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other
     companies.

(2)  Relates  to  properties  sold in 2007  and  2006,  which  are  included  in
     discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of income.

(3)  Adjusted FFO excludes the change in fair value of  derivative  instruments,
     net of certain associated costs.
