                      AMERICAN MORTGAGE ACCEPTANCE COMPANY
              REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR-END RESULTS FOR 2005



NEW YORK, NY - FEBRUARY 28, 2006 - American Mortgage  Acceptance Company ("AMAC"
or the "Company") (AMEX:  AMC) today announced  financial results for its fourth
quarter and year ended December 31, 2005.

"AMAC performed very well in 2005,  demonstrating  the strength and viability of
the Company's  business model," commented Marc D. Schnitzer,  President of AMAC.
"Even in a rising rate  environment,  AMAC was able to maintain  healthy spreads
between  the  Company's  cost of  capital  and the  rates  that we earned on our
investment  portfolio.  The 2005 results were bolstered by our solid origination
volume,  which increased 56.2% over our origination  volume in 2004. We are well
positioned to achieve our expansion plans for 2006."

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

AMAC reported total revenues of approximately  $8.2 million for the three months
ended  December 31, 2005,  representing  an increase of  approximately  54.6% as
compared to revenues of  approximately  $5.3  million for the three months ended
December 31, 2004.  AMAC's total  revenues for the twelve months ended  December
31, 2005 was approximately  $36.1 million,  representing an increase of 64.2% as
compared to revenues of approximately  $22.0 million for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2004.

As previously reported during September 2005, a Ginnie Mae Certificate  ("GNMA")
and a mezzanine  loan were prepaid.  In  connection  with the  prepayment,  AMAC
received fees related to the prepayment of approximately $5.6 million. As AMAC's
2005  financial  results  include  the  incremental   impact  of  this  one-time
prepayment,  the  Company  is  reporting  revenues,  net  income  and Funds from
Operations both including and excluding  ("adjusted") the incremental  impact of
the prepayment.

AMAC's total adjusted revenues were  approximately  $30.6 million for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2005,  representing an increase of approximately 38.8%
as compared to revenues of  approximately  $22.0  million for the twelve  months
ended December 31, 2004. The  substantial  growth in our annual revenues in 2005
(exclusive  of  the  prepayment  fees)  resulted  primarily  from  increases  in
investment activity and the recognition of rental revenue for real estate owned.

For the three  months  ended  December  31,  2005,  AMAC  earned  net  income of
approximately $2.0 million, representing an increase of 50.4% as compared to net
income of  approximately  $1.3 million for the three  months ended  December 31,
2004.  On a per share basis  (basic and  diluted),  net income was $0.24 for the
three months  ended  December  31,  2005,  representing  an increase of 50.0% as
compared to net income of $0.16 for the three  months  ended  December 31, 2004.
For the  twelve  months  ended  December  31,  2005,  AMAC  earned net income of
approximately  $15.2 million,  representing  an increase of 35.1% as compared to
net income of  approximately  $11.3 million for the twelve months ended December
31, 2004. On a per share basis (basic and diluted), net income was $1.83 for the
twelve  months ended  December 31,  2005,  representing  an increase of 35.6% as
compared to $1.35 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004.

AMAC earned  adjusted net income of  approximately  $10.9 million for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2005, representing a decrease of approximately 3.2% as
compared to net income of  approximately  $11.3  million  for the twelve  months
ended December 31, 2004. On a per share basis (basic and diluted),  adjusted net
income was $1.31 for the twelve months ended  December 31, 2005,  representing a
decrease of 3.0% as compared to net income of $1.35 for the twelve  months ended
December  31,  2004.  Adjusted  net  income  was  impacted  by  financing  costs
(particularly  due to higher  interest  rates),  and Advisory fees due to higher
profits and an increased  asset base.  In  addition,  the net amount of earnings

from real  estate  owned  declined  due to the  refinancing  of a portion of the
portfolio, leading to a decline in AMAC's economic interests in the real estate.

Funds from  Operations  ("FFO") for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was
approximately  $3.4 million,  representing an increase of approximately  8.1% as
compared  to FFO of  approximately  $3.1  million  for the  three  months  ended
December 31, 2004. On a per share basis (basic and  diluted),  FFO was $0.41 for
the three months ended December 31, 2005,  representing  an increase of 10.8% as
compared to FFO of $0.37 for the three months ended  December 31, 2004.  FFO for
the twelve  months ended  December  31, 2005 was  approximately  $17.6  million,
representing  an  increase  of  approximately   31.4%  as  compared  to  FFO  of
approximately  $13.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. On a
per share basis (basic and  diluted),  FFO was $2.12 for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2005, representing an increase of 31.7% as compared to FFO of $1.61
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004.

Adjusted  FFO for the twelve  months ended  December 31, 2005 was  approximately
$13.3 million,  representing a decrease of approximately 0.9% as compared to FFO
of approximately $13.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. On
a per share basis  (basic and  diluted),  adjusted  FFO was $1.60 for the twelve
months ended  December 31, 2005,  representing a decrease of 0.6% as compared to
FFO of $1.61 for the twelve  months ended  December  31, 2004.  The adjusted FFO
results were impacted by the same cost factors that affected adjusted net income
results.

AMAC's  present  quarterly  dividend on an annualized  basis is $1.60 per share,
representing an approximate 10.5% yield on the $15.25 per share closing price on
February 27, 2006.

INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

During the fourth  quarter of 2005,  AMAC acquired four Fannie Mae  certificates
with principal  amounts  totaling  approximately  $23.5 million and originated a
$5.0 million subordinated interest in a first mortgage loan.

Overall,  for the twelve  months  ended  December 31,  2005,  AMAC's  investment
activity included:

     o    Approximately  $24.4 million of floating rate mezzanine  loans,  $21.9
          million of which has been funded through December 31, 2005;
     o    Approximately  $10.6  million  of fixed  rate  mezzanine  loans,  $7.5
          million of which has been funded through December 31, 2005;
     o    Approximately $7.5 million of first mortgage loans;
     o    A $5.0 million subordinated interest in a first mortgage loan; and

</TABLE>

*    Excludes  incremental  earnings  in 2005  from the  prepayment  of GNMA and
     related mezzanine investments.

 (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.

                      AMERICAN MORTGAGE ACCEPTANCE COMPANY
              REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR-END RESULTS FOR 2005

NEW YORK, NY - FEBRUARY 28, 2006 - American Mortgage  Acceptance Company ("AMAC"
or the "Company") (AMEX:  AMC) today announced  financial results for its fourth
quarter and year ended December 31, 2005.

"AMAC performed very well in 2005,  demonstrating  the strength and viability of
the Company's  business model," commented Marc D. Schnitzer,  President of AMAC.
"Even in a rising rate  environment,  AMAC was able to maintain  healthy spreads
between  the  Company's  cost of  capital  and the  rates  that we earned on our
investment  portfolio.  The 2005 results were bolstered by our solid origination
volume,  which increased 56.2% over our origination  volume in 2004. We are well
positioned to achieve our expansion plans for 2006."

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

AMAC reported total revenues of approximately  $8.2 million for the three months
ended  December 31, 2005,  representing  an increase of  approximately  54.6% as
compared to revenues of  approximately  $5.3  million for the three months ended
December 31, 2004.  AMAC's total  revenues for the twelve months ended  December
31, 2005 was approximately  $36.1 million,  representing an increase of 64.2% as
compared to revenues of approximately  $22.0 million for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2004.

As previously reported during September 2005, a Ginnie Mae Certificate  ("GNMA")
and a mezzanine  loan were prepaid.  In  connection  with the  prepayment,  AMAC
received fees related to the prepayment of approximately $5.6 million. As AMAC's
2005  financial  results  include  the  incremental   impact  of  this  one-time
prepayment,  the  Company  is  reporting  revenues,  net  income  and Funds from
Operations both including and excluding  ("adjusted") the incremental  impact of
the prepayment.

AMAC's total adjusted revenues were  approximately  $30.6 million for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2005,  representing an increase of approximately 38.8%
as compared to revenues of  approximately  $22.0  million for the twelve  months
ended December 31, 2004. The  substantial  growth in our annual revenues in 2005
(exclusive  of  the  prepayment  fees)  resulted  primarily  from  increases  in
investment activity and the recognition of rental revenue for real estate owned.

For the three  months  ended  December  31,  2005,  AMAC  earned  net  income of
approximately $2.0 million, representing an increase of 50.4% as compared to net
income of  approximately  $1.3 million for the three  months ended  December 31,
2004.  On a per share basis  (basic and  diluted),  net income was $0.24 for the
three months  ended  December  31,  2005,  representing  an increase of 50.0% as
compared to net income of $0.16 for the three  months  ended  December 31, 2004.
For the  twelve  months  ended  December  31,  2005,  AMAC  earned net income of
approximately  $15.2 million,  representing  an increase of 35.1% as compared to
net income of  approximately  $11.3 million for the twelve months ended December
31, 2004. On a per share basis (basic and diluted), net income was $1.83 for the
twelve  months ended  December 31,  2005,  representing  an increase of 35.6% as
compared to $1.35 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004.

AMAC earned  adjusted net income of  approximately  $10.9 million for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2005, representing a decrease of approximately 3.2% as
compared to net income of  approximately  $11.3  million  for the twelve  months
ended December 31, 2004. On a per share basis (basic and diluted),  adjusted net
income was $1.31 for the twelve months ended  December 31, 2005,  representing a
decrease of 3.0% as compared to net income of $1.35 for the twelve  months ended
December  31,  2004.  Adjusted  net  income  was  impacted  by  financing  costs
(particularly  due to higher  interest  rates),  and Advisory fees due to higher
profits and an increased  asset base.  In  addition,  the net amount of earnings
from real  estate  owned  declined  due to the  refinancing  of a portion of the
portfolio, leading to a decline in AMAC's economic interests in the real estate.

Funds from  Operations  ("FFO") for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was
approximately  $3.4 million,  representing an increase of approximately  8.1% as
compared  to FFO of  approximately  $3.1  million  for the  three  months  ended
December 31, 2004. On a per share basis (basic and  diluted),  FFO was $0.41 for
the three months ended December 31, 2005,  representing  an increase of 10.8% as
compared to FFO of $0.37 for the three months ended  December 31, 2004.  FFO for
the twelve  months ended  December  31, 2005 was  approximately  $17.6  million,
representing  an  increase  of  approximately   31.4%  as  compared  to  FFO  of
approximately  $13.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. On a
per share basis (basic and  diluted),  FFO was $2.12 for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2005, representing an increase of 31.7% as compared to FFO of $1.61
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004.

Adjusted  FFO for the twelve  months ended  December 31, 2005 was  approximately
$13.3 million,  representing a decrease of approximately 0.9% as compared to FFO
of approximately $13.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. On
a per share basis  (basic and  diluted),  adjusted  FFO was $1.60 for the twelve
months ended  December 31, 2005,  representing a decrease of 0.6% as compared to
FFO of $1.61 for the twelve  months ended  December  31, 2004.  The adjusted FFO
results were impacted by the same cost factors that affected adjusted net income
results.

AMAC's  present  quarterly  dividend on an annualized  basis is $1.60 per share,
representing an approximate 10.5% yield on the $15.25 per share closing price on
February 27, 2006.

INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

During the fourth  quarter of 2005,  AMAC acquired four Fannie Mae  certificates
with principal  amounts  totaling  approximately  $23.5 million and originated a
$5.0 million subordinated interest in a first mortgage loan.

Overall,  for the twelve  months  ended  December 31,  2005,  AMAC's  investment

          million of which has been funded through December 31, 2005;

 (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.
