American Mortgage Acceptance Company (Registrant) BY: /s/ Jeff T. Blau ---------------- Jeff T. Blau Chief Executive Officer February 28, 2006 AT THE COMPANY -------------- Brenda Abuaf, Director of Shareholder Services (800) 831-4826 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 o $61.7 million of Fannie Mae certificates.

AMERICAN MORTGAGE ACCEPTANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA (In thousands, except per share amounts) Funds from Operations ("FFO")(1), as calculated in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") definition, for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, is summarized in the following table: ----------------------- ----------------------- Three months ended Twelve months ended December 31, December 31, ----------------------- ----------------------- 2005 2004 2005 2004 -------- -------- -------- -------- Net Income $ 2,027 $ 1,348 $ 15,235 $ 11,273 Depreciation of real property 1,351 1,776 2,389 2,143 -------- -------- -------- -------- FFO $ 3,378 $ 3,124 $ 17,624 $ 13,416 ======== ======== ======== ======== Adjusted FFO* $ 3,378 $ 3,124 $ 13,298 $ 13,416 ======== ======== ======== ======== Cash flows from operating activities $ 2,985 $ 3,683 $ 18,036 $ 14,032 ======== ======== ======== ======== Cash flows from investing activities $ 2,745 $(34,388) $(64,512) $(22,592) ======== ======== ======== ======== Cash flows from financing activities $(11,475) $ 20,944 $ 55,016 $ 9,206 ======== ======== ======== ======== FFO per share (basic and diluted) $ 0.41 $ 0.37 $ 2.12 $ 1.61 ======== ======== ======== ======== Adjusted FFO per share (basic and diluted)* $ 0.41 $ 0.37 $ 1.60 $ 1.61 ======== ======== ======== ======== Weighted average shares outstanding Basic 8,307 8,336 8,316 8,336 ======== ======== ======== ======== Diluted 8,307 8,336 8,317 8,343 ======== ======== ======== ======== * 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.
