                      AMERICAN MORTGAGE ACCEPTANCE COMPANY
                REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR 2006



NEW YORK, NY - MAY 9, 2006 - American Mortgage Acceptance Company ("AMAC" or the
"Company") (AMEX:  AMC) today announced  financial results for its first quarter
ended March 31, 2006.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

AMAC reported total revenues of approximately  $8.1 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2006,  representing an increase of 20.3% as compared to revenues
of approximately $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

For  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2006,  AMAC  earned  net  income  of
approximately $2.2 million,  representing a decrease of 23.3% as compared to net
income of approximately  $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.
On a per share  basis  (basic and  diluted),  net income was $0.26 for the three
months ended March 31, 2006, representing a decrease of 23.5% as compared to net
income of $0.34 for the three  months  ended  March 31,  2005.  Net  income  was
impacted by increased  financing  costs as well as increase in certain  expenses
associated with a property in our real estate owned portfolio.

Funds from  Operations  ("FFO")  for the three  months  ended March 31, 2006 was
approximately $2.6 million,  representing a decrease of 18.0% as compared to FFO
of  approximately  $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.  On a
per share basis  (basic and  diluted),  FFO was $0.32 for the three months ended
March 31, 2006, representing a decrease of 15.8% as compared to FFO of $0.38 for
the three  months  ended March 31,  2005.  FFO was  impacted by the same factors
listed above that affected net income.

AMAC's  present  quarterly  dividend on an annualized  basis is $1.60 per share,
representing an approximate 10.4% yield on the $15.36 per share closing price on
May 8, 2006.

Marc D.  Schnitzer,  President  of  AMAC  commented,  "As is  typical  with  our
business,  the first quarter  tends to be the slowest from a transaction  volume
perspective.  Our second quarter investment activity has begun to accelerate and
our pipeline  for  investments  is  building.  To date,  we have  originated  or
acquired  loans  totaling $108 million in the second  quarter,  including  first
mortgage,  mezzanine and bridge loans. In addition,  at the end of March, one of
AMAC's subsidiaries  entered into a new repurchase facility with Bank of America
Securities,  which  will  enable  us to borrow  up to $250  million  to fund new
investment  activity.  We continue  to believe  that we are well  positioned  to
execute our business plan and achieve our  financial  goals for the remainder of
the year."

(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  related 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 the Company's  operating  performance  or as an alternative to cash
flows as a measure of liquidity. 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.
