AMERICAN MORTGAGE ACCEPTANCE COMPANY

REVISES EARNINGS GUIDANCE FOR 2006

NEW YORK, NY – February 16, 2007 - American Mortgage Acceptance Company (“AMAC” or the “Company”) (AMEX:AMC) today announced that the Company revised its Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”) per share guidance for 2006 to a range of $1.08 to $1.13. AMAC previously issued AFFO per share guidance in a range of $3.00 to $3.20.

“The reduction in AMAC’s expected 2006 AFFO per share is primarily due to write downs of $12.0 million in principal and the reversal of $908,000 in accrued interest relating to three non-performing mezzanine loans in the Company’s investment portfolio,” said J. Larry Duggins, Chief Executive Officer of AMAC. “While we continue to pursue our rights and make efforts to collect on these loans, we determined that these write downs were necessary. These mezzanine loans, which were originated in 2005 in connection with two separate condominium conversion transactions in the Tampa, Florida area and a land development transaction in Somerset County, New Jersey, have a different risk profile associated with them as compared to the loans we are currently originating. We expect to release our fourth quarter and year-end 2006 financial results on March 20, 2007, at which time we will hold a conference call to discuss our results in detail.”

Throughout 2006, AMAC has been reporting both Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and AFFO. AFFO excludes the changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, net of certain associated costs. Please see our third quarter earnings press release dated November 7, 2006 for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to AFFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

Form 1099

AMAC will need to reissue the Form 1099 to common shareholders for the 2006 tax year. The Company expects to release the revised Form 1099s to common shareholders on or about the first week of March 2007.
