                      AMERICAN MORTGAGE ACCEPTANCE COMPANY
             REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2007


NEW YORK, NY - NOVEMBER 7, 2007 - American Mortgage  Acceptance  Company ("AMAC"
or the "Company")  (AMEX:  AMC) today announced  financial results for the third
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

The table below summarizes AMAC's revenues,  net (loss) income, FFO and adjusted
FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. FFO for the
three and nine months  ended  September  30, 2007 and 2006 were  impacted by the
change in the fair 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. For comparative purposes, it is important
to note that AMAC  recognized a  significant  gain in the third  quarter of 2006
from the sale of our investment in ARCap. Therefore, the one-time gain is one of
the reasons for the significant decrease in net income, FFO and adjusted FFO for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to 2006.

     of FFO and adjusted FFO and a reconciliation from GAAP net income.
"N/M" represents not meaningful as change is 100% or greater.

AMAC's net loss,  FFO and adjusted FFO for the quarter ended  September 30, 2007
reflect a $1.3 million  impairment  in connection  with $182.2  million of first
mortgages  and fixed rate  bridge  loans  pledged as  security  on a  repurchase
facility.  AMAC initially  planned to hold these  investments until maturity and
has  subsequently  determined to sell these assets to a third party.  Therefore,
the assets are now deemed  "held for sale".  Accordingly,  the  investments  are
carried at the lower of cost or market and the  impairment is based on estimated
market values as of September 30, 2007.

(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)  Related  to   properties   sold  during  2007  and  2006  and  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.
