                      AMERICAN MORTGAGE ACCEPTANCE COMPANY
                REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR 2007



NEW YORK, NY - MAY 8, 2007 - American Mortgage Acceptance Company ("AMAC" or the
"Company") (AMEX:  AMC) today announced  financial results for the first quarter
ended March 31, 2007.

"AMAC had a strong  first  quarter  from  both an  operational  and a  financial
perspective," said J. Larry Duggins, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "We
sold our  economic  interest in three  properties  that we  classified  as `real
estate  owned' on our balance  sheet,  enabling us to re-deploy the capital from
these non-core assets to fund our investment  pipeline.  Utilizing the strategic
relationships available to us through our advisor,  Centerline Capital Group, we
completed several high-quality, diverse transactions,  including a $32.5 million
mezzanine  transaction  for  the  development  of  Snowmass  Village  in  Aspen,
Colorado,  and a $10.1 million investment in bonds ranging from below investment
grade to investment  grade,  plus an equity component of a  Collateralized  Debt
Obligation  ("CDO")  issued by an affiliate of Nomura.  We are very pleased with
the progress we have made and our  investment  pipeline  continues to build.  We
believe that we are on track to meet our financial goals for the year."

FINANCIAL RESULTS

The table below summarizes  AMAC's revenues,  net income,  Funds from Operations
("FFO") and adjusted FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. FFO
for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was 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.

AMAC's net income in the first quarter was impacted by the sale of the Company's
economic interest in three properties, resulting in the recognition of a gain of
approximately $3.6 million or $0.43 per share.

(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.
