Forward-Looking Statements

This report, and the information incorporated by reference in it, include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In
addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words anticipate, believe,
continue, could, estimate, expect, intend, may, might, plan, possible, potential, predict, project,
should, would and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this report may include, for
example, statements about our:

- Ability to complete a business combination;
- Success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors following an initial business combination;
- Officers and directors allocating their time to other businesses and potentially having conflicts of interest with our business or in approving our initial business combination, as a result of which they would then receive expense
reimbursements;
- Potential ability to obtain additional financing to complete our initial business combination;
- Limited pool of prospective target businesses;
- The ability of our officers and directors to generate a number of potential investment opportunities;
- Potential change in control if we acquire one or more target businesses for stock;
- Our public securities potential liquidity and trading;
- The delisting of our securities from the American Stock Exchange or the ability to have our securities listed on the American Stock Exchange following our initial business combination;
- Use of proceeds not held in the trust account or available to us from interest income on the trust account balance; or
- Financial performance.

The forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us and speak only
as of the date of such statement. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our
control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors
described under the heading Risk Factors(refer to Part II, Item 1A). Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from
those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable
securities laws.

References in this report to we, us or our company refer to Alternative Asset Management Acquisition Corp. References to public stockholders refer to holders of shares
of common stock sold as part of the units in our initial public offering, including any of our stockholders existing prior to the initial public offering to the extent that they purchased or acquired such shares.

The accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited condensed financial statements are consistent with those described in the December 31, 2007 financial statements.

|NOTE 2 - | ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Alternative Asset Management Acquisition Corp. (the Company) was incorporated in Delaware on January 26, 2007 as a blank check company formed for the purpose of acquiring through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition,
stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, one or more businesses or assets in the alternative asset management sector or related business (a Business Combination). On February 22, 2007, the Company changed its name
from Hanover Group Acquisition Corp. to Hanover-STC Acquisition Corp. On July 6, 2007, the Company changed its name from Hanover-STC Acquisition Corp. to Alternative Asset Management Acquisition Corp.
The Companys financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the effect of a stock dividend of 0.22667 shares of common stock per share of outstanding common stock issued on July 5, 2007, the effect of a stock dividend of
0.5 shares of common stock per share of outstanding common stock issued on July 27, 2007, and the effect of a stock dividend of 0.2 shares of common stock per share of outstanding common stock issued on August 1, 2007 (See Note 7).
The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
All activity from January 26, 2007 (inception) through August 7, 2007 relates to the Companys formation and the initial public offering (the Offering) described below. Since August 8, 2007, the Company has been searching for an
acquisition candidate.
The registration statement for the Offering was declared effective on August 1, 2007. The Company consummated the Offering on August 7, 2007 and received net proceeds of $397,560,377 (after deducting offering costs of $16,439,623) and
$4,625,000 from the sale of the sponsor warrants on a private placement basis (see Note 3). The Companys management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering, although substantially
all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully affect a Business

Combination. An amount of $402,425,000, or approximately $9.72 per Unit (defined below) of the net proceeds of the Offering and the sale of the sponsors warrants (see Note 3), was placed in a trust account (Trust
Account) and was invested in United States government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a) (16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain
conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 until the earlier of (i) the consummation of its first Business Combination or (ii) liquidation of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the underwriting agreement
relating to the Offering, the funds placed in the Trust Account include $13,455,000 of deferred underwriting fees and commissions (see Note 3). The placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against
the Company. Although the Company will seek to have all vendors (other than its independent registered public accountants), prospective target businesses or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title,
interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements. Two of the Companys officers have agreed that they will be personally liable under certain circumstances
to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered, contracted for or products sold to the Company. However, the
agreement entered into by two of the Companys officers specifically provides for two exceptions to this indemnity: there will be no liability (1) as to any claimed amounts owed to a third party who executed a waiver (even if such waiver is
subsequently found to be invalid and unenforceable) or (2) as to any claims under the Companys indemnity of the underwriters of the Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
However, there can be no assurance that they will be able to satisfy those obligations.
The remaining net proceeds of the Offering (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. Except with respect to
interest income that may be released to the Company of (i) up to $3,500,000 of the interest accrued on the amounts held in the Trust Account (net of tax, if any, payable by the Company with respect to such interest) will be released to the
Company in monthly installments to fund expenses related to investigating and selecting a target business or businesses and the Companys other working capital requirements and (ii) any additional amounts needed to pay income or other tax
obligations, provided, however, that the aggregate amount of all such distributions for working capital and tax payments shall not exceed the total interest income earned; the proceeds of the Offering held in trust will not be released from the
Trust Account until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination or the Companys liquidation. As of June 30, 2008, $8,078,366 of the interest income earned in the Trust Account has been released to the Company for taxes and
working capital purposes. Although $10,976,671 of interest has been earned on the Trust Account, only $1,961,180 is included in the Cash held in trust account, restricted. The balance of the undistributed interest and dividend income is
shown as cash held in trust account, dividend and interest, available for working capital and taxes.
The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a Business Combination with a target business or businesses, is required to submit such transaction for stockholder approval. Pursuant to the Companys certificate of amendment, in the
event that the stockholders owning 30% or more of the shares sold in the Offering vote against the Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights described below, the Business Combination will not be consummated. All of the Companys
stockholders prior to the Offering, including all of the officers and directors of the Company (Initial Stockholders), have agreed to vote all of their founders common stock (the Founders Common Stock) in
accordance with the vote of the majority in interest of all other stockholders of the Company

(Public Stockholders) with respect to any Business Combination. After consummation of a Business Combination, these voting safeguards will no longer apply.
In connection with the Offering, OHL Limited (formerly Hanover Overseas Limited), STC Investment Holdings LLC, an entity affiliated with Michael J. Levitt, the Companys chairman of the board, and Jonathan I. Berger, one of the
Companys directors, and Solar Capital, LLC, an entity affiliated with Michael S. Gross, one of the Companys directors, entered into agreements with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the Buyback Agreements), in accordance with
Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, pursuant to which they each agreed to place limit orders for up to $10.0 million of the Companys common stock, or $30.0 million in the aggregate, commencing ten business days after
the Company filed its Current Report on Form 8-K announcing its execution of a definitive agreement for a Business Combination and ending on the business day immediately preceding the record date for the meeting of stockholders at which such
Business Combination is to be approved, or earlier in certain circumstances (the Buyback Period). The Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on March 13, 2008 relating to its execution of a definitive agreement with Halcyon Asset
Management LLC and certain of its affiliates (collectively, Halcyon) relating to an initial business combination. As a result, the Buyback Period began on March 28, 2008. These limit orders required the stockholders to purchase any of
the Companys shares of common stock offered for sale at or below a price equal to the per share amount held in the Trust Account as reported in such Form 8-K, until the earlier of the expiration of the Buyback Period or until such purchases
reach $30.0 million in total. In connection with the termination of the purchase agreement with Halcyon (see Note 8) the Buyback Agreements were terminated on June 23, 2008. Each of STC Investment Holdings LLC and Solar Capital, LLC purchased
286,400 shares of common stock and OHL Limited purchased 287,800 shares of the Companys common stock pursuant to the Buyback Agreements. Each of these stockholders may vote these shares in any way they choose at the stockholders meeting to
approve the Business Combination. As a result, OHL Limited, STC Investment Holdings LLC and Solar Capital, LLC may be able to influence the outcome of a specific Business Combination.
However, these stockholders will not be permitted to exercise conversion rights in the event they vote against a Business Combination that is approved; provided that these stockholders will participate in any liquidation distributions with
respect to any shares of common stock purchased by them following consummation of the Offering, including shares purchased pursuant to such limit orders, in the event the Company fails to complete a Business Combination. In addition, these
stockholders have agreed that they will not sell or transfer any shares of common stock purchased by them pursuant to these agreements until one year after the Company has completed a Business Combination. The stock purchases made pursuant to the
limit orders described above are not anticipated to have any effect upon the Company or its financial statements.
With respect to a Business Combination which is approved and consummated, any Public Stockholder who voted against the Business Combination may demand that the Company convert his or her shares into cash from the Trust Account. The per share
conversion price will equal the amount in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, divided by the number of shares of common stock held by Public Stockholders at the
consummation of the Offering. Accordingly, Public Stockholders holding up to 30% of the aggregate

number of shares owned by all Public Stockholders (minus one share) may seek conversion of their shares in the event of a Business Combination. Such Public Stockholders are entitled to receive their per share interest in the Trust Account
computed without regard to the shares held by Initial Stockholders. The Companys Certificate of Incorporation was amended on August 1, 2007 to provide that the Company will continue in existence only until 24 months from the effective date of
the registration statement relating to the Offering (Effective Date), or August 1, 2009. If the Company has not completed a Business Combination by such date, its corporate existence will cease except for the purposes of liquidating and
winding up its affairs. In the event of liquidation, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per Unit in
the Offering.
The Initial Stockholders have waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution, but only with respect to those shares of common stock owned by them prior to the Offering; they will participate in any liquidation distribution
with respect to any shares of common stock acquired in connection with or following the Offering.
Cash held in Trust Account- restricted
The Company considers the restricted portion of the funds held in the Trust Account as being a non- current asset. A current asset is one that is reasonably expected to be used to pay current liabilities, such as accounts payable or short-term
debt or to pay current operating expenses, or will be used to acquire other current assets. Since the acquisition of a business is principally considered to be a long- term purpose, with long-term assets such as property and intangibles, typically
being a major part of the acquired assets, the Company has reported the funds anticipated to be used in the acquisition as a non-current asset.
Accretion of trust account relating to common stock subject to possible conversion
The Company records accretion of the income earned in the trust account relating to the common stock subject to possible conversion based on the excess of the earnings for the period over the amount which is available to be used for working
capital and taxes. Since 30% (less one share) of the shares issued in the Offering are subject to possible conversion, the portion of the excess earnings related to those shares are reflected on the balance sheet as part of the Common stock
subject to possible conversion and is deducted from Additional paid-in capital. The portion of the excess earnings is also presented as a deduction from net income on the Statements of Operations to appropriately reflect the amount
of net income which would remain available to the common stockholders who did not elect to convert their shares to cash.
Earnings Per Share
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, earnings per common share amounts (Basic EPS) is computed
by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Common shares subject to possible conversion of 12,419,999 have been excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share since such shares, if
redeemed, only participate in their pro rata shares of the trust earnings. Earnings per common share amounts, assuming dilution (Diluted EPS), gives effect to dilutive options, warrants, and other potential common stock outstanding
during the period. SFAS No. 128 requires the presentation of both Basic EPS and Diluted EPS on the face of the statements of operations. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, the Company has

not considered the effect of its outstanding Warrants in the calculation of diluted earnings per share since the exercise of the Warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock options and warrants using the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS 123(R)). SFAS 12(R) addresses all forms of share based compensation
awards including shares issued under employment stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. Under SFAS 123(R), share based payment awards will be measured at fair value on the awards grant date, based on
estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will be reflected as compensation expense in the financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
SFAS No. 105, Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentration of Credit Risk, requires disclosure of significant concentrations of credit risk regardless
of the degree of risk. At June 30, 2008, financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to credit risk consist of cash. The Company maintains its cash balances in a major financial institution. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
insures balances in bank accounts up to $100,000 and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation insures balances up to $500,000 in brokerage accounts.
Offering Costs
Offering costs of $16,439,623 consist of underwriters discount, legal fees, printing costs and travel expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Offering and were charged to capital at the time of the
closing of the Offering.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 establishes a single definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value, sets out
a fair value hierarchy to be used to classify the source of information used in fair value measurements, and requires new disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair

value based on their level in the hierarchy. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (FSPs) No. 157-1 and No.
157-2, which respectively, remove leasing transactions from the scope of SFAS No. 157 and defer its effective date for one year relative to certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. As a result, the application of the definition of fair value and
related disclosures of SFAS No. 157 (as impacted by these two FSPs) was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008 on a prospective basis with respect to fair value measurements of (a) nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized
or disclosed at fair value in the Companys financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually) and (b) all financial assets and liabilities. This adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations or
financial condition. The remaining aspects of SFAS No. 157 for which the effective date was deferred under FSP No. 157-2 are currently being evaluated by the company. Areas impacted by the deferral relate to nonfinancial assets and liabilities that
are measured at fair value, but are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. This deferral applies to such items as nonfinancial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in a business combination (but not
measured at fair value in subsequent periods) or nonfinancial long-lived asset groups measured at fair value for an impairment assessment. The effects of these remaining aspects of SFAS No. 157 are to be applied to fair value measurements
prospectively beginning January 1, 2009. The Company does not expect them to have a material impact on the Companys results of operations or financial condition.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities  an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, (SFAS 161) as amended and interpreted, which requires enhanced
disclosures about an entitys derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. Disclosing the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format provides a more
complete picture of the location in an entitys financial statements of both the derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using derivatives during the reporting period. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures
about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items
affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Early adoption is permitted, but not
expected. Management is evaluating the potential effect this guidance may have on the Companys financial condition and results of operations.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 142-3, which amends the factors that must be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life over which to amortize the cost of a recognized intangible asset
under FAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The FSP requires an entity to consider its own assumptions about renewal or extension of the term of the arrangement, consistent with its expected use of the asset, and is an
attempt to improve consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FAS No. 141, Business Combinations. The FSP
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and the guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The FSP is not
expected to have a significant impact on the Companys results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. Under the FSP, unvested share-based payment
awards that contain rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities, and should be included in the two-class method of computing EPS. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2008, and interim periods within those years, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

|NOTE 3 - | INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
The registration statement for the Offering was declared effective on August 1, 2007. The Company consummated the Offering on August 7, 2007 and received net proceeds of $397,560,377 from the sale of the units (the Units) and
$4,625,000 from the sale of the sponsors warrants (defined below) on a private placement basis. The Company sold 41,400,000 Units, including 5,400,000 Units pursuant to the underwriters over-allotment option, at the offering price of
$10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Companys common stock and one Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant (Warrant). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock
at an exercise price of $7.50 commencing the later of the completion of a Business Combination or fifteen months from the Effective Date, or November 1, 2008 and expiring five years from the Effective Date, or July 31, 2012.
The Company may redeem the Warrants, at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $14.25 per share for any 20
trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is given. In accordance with the warrant agreement relating to the Warrants, the Company is only required to use its best efforts
to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the Warrants. The Company will not be obligated to deliver securities, and there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities, if a registration statement is not
effective at the time of exercise. Additionally, in the event that a registration is not effective at the time of exercise, the holder of such Warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and in no event (whether in the case of a
registration statement not being effective or otherwise) will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrant exercise. Consequently, the Warrants may expire unexercised and unredeemed.
The Company entered into an agreement with the underwriters of the Offering (the Underwriting Agreement). The Underwriting Agreement required the Company to pay 3.75% of the gross proceeds of the Offering as an underwriting discount
plus an additional 3.25% of the gross proceeds only upon consummation of a Business Combination. The Company paid an underwriting discount of 3.75% of the gross proceeds ($15,525,000) in connection with the consummation of the Offering and has
placed 3.25% of the gross proceeds ($13,455,000) in the Trust Account. The Company did not pay any discount related to the warrants sold in the private placement. The underwriters have waived their right

|NOTE 3 - | INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING (CONTINUED)
      to receive payment of the 3.25% of the gross proceeds upon the Companys liquidation if it is unable to complete a Business Combination.
Pursuant to a Sponsors Warrants Securities Purchase Agreement dated July 6, 2007, certain of the Initial Stockholders have purchased from the Company, in the aggregate, 4,625,000 warrants for $4,625,000 (the Sponsors
Warrants). The purchase and issuance of the Sponsors Warrants occurred simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering on a private placement basis. All of the proceeds the Company received from these purchases were placed in the
Trust Account. The Sponsors Warrants are identical to the Warrants included in the Units sold in the Offering, except that (i) the Sponsors Warrants are non-redeemable so long as they are held by any of the sponsors or their permitted
transferees and (ii) they will not be exercisable while they are subject to certain transfer restrictions. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination then the $4,625,000 paid in consideration for the Sponsors Warrants will be
part of the liquidating distribution to the Companys Public Stockholders, and the Sponsors Warrants will expire worthless. The purchasers of the Sponsors Warrants have agreed that the Sponsors Warrants will not be sold or
transferred by them until after the Company has completed a Business Combination.
Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement dated August 1, 2007, the Initial Stockholders, holders of the Sponsors Warrants (or underlying securities) and holders of shares purchased in accordance with the Buyback Agreements will be
entitled to registration rights with respect to the Founders Common Stock, Sponsors Warrants (or underlying securities) and the shares of Company common stock purchased in accordance with the Buyback Agreements, as the case may be. The
holders of the majority of the Founders Common Stock are entitled to elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing nine months after the consummation of a Business Combination, or earlier in certain circumstances. The
holders of the Sponsors Warrants (or underlying securities) are entitled to demand that the Company register such securities at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. The holders of shares purchased in accordance with
the Buyback Agreements are entitled to demand that the Company register such securities commencing nine months after the Company consummates a Business Combination. In addition, these holders have certain piggyback registration rights on
registration statements filed after the Companys consummation of a Business Combination.

|NOTE 4 - | INCOME TAXES
On January 26, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes  an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. FIN 48 also
provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.
The Company has identified its federal tax return as its major tax jurisdiction, as defined. Based on the Companys evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in
the Companys financial statements. Since the Company was incorporated on January 26, 2007 the evaluation was performed for the 2007 tax year. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and
does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position. No liability for

unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported as of June 30, 2008.
The Companys policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of or during the period from January
26, 2007 (inception) through June 30, 2008. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefit position to change during the next twelve months. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant
payments, accruals or material deviations from its position. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

administrative services available to the Company, as may be required by the Company from time to time. The Company has agreed to pay such affiliate $10,000 per month for such services commencing on August 1, 2007. For the six month period ended
June 30, 2008 and the period from August 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008, rent expense amounted to $60,000 and $110,000, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses.

participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to any shares of common stock acquired in connection with or following the Offering.
The Initial Stockholders, holders of the Sponsors Warrants (or underlying securities) and holders of shares of common stock purchased in accordance with the Buyback Agreements are entitled to registration rights with respect to the
Founders Common Stock, Sponsors Warrants (or underlying securities) and shares of common stock purchased in accordance with the Buyback Agreements, as the case may be, pursuant to an agreement signed on the effective date of the

Combination.

ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Financial Statements and footnotes thereto contained in this report.

Forward Looking Statements

All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q including, without limitation, statements under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. When used in this Form 10-Q, words such as anticipate, believe, estimate, expect,
intend and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward looking statements. Such forward looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information
currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC). All subsequent written or oral forward looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.

Overview

We were formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 26, 2007 to acquire through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination
with one or more business or assets in the alternative asset management sector or a related business. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placement of our sponsors warrants, our
capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, capital stock and debt in effecting a business combination. On February 22, 2007 the company changed its name from Hanover Group Acquisition Corp. to Hanover-STC Acquisition Corp. On July 6, 2007, the
company changed its name from Hanover-STC Acquisition Corp. to Alternative Asset Management Acquisition Corp.

On August 7, 2007, we completed our initial public offering of 41,400,000 units, including 5,400,000 units pursuant to the underwriters over-allotment option, at $10.00 per unit. In conjunction with the
consummation of the initial public offering we sold an aggregate of 4,625,000 sponsors warrants to certain existing shareholders pursuant to a sponsors warrant purchase agreement dated July 6, 2007 on a private placement basis at a price
of $1.00 per warrant, for an aggregate price of $4,625,000. The total gross proceeds from the initial public offering, excluding the warrants sold on a private placement basis amounted to $414,000,000. After the payment of offering
expenses, the net proceeds to us amounted to $397,560,377. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock, $.0001 par value, and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase from us one
share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 commencing the later of the completion of an initial business combination or fifteen months from the effective date of the initial public offering (November 1, 2008) and expiring five years
from the effective date of the initial public offering (July 31, 2012). The warrants will be redeemable by us, at a price of $.01 per warrant upon 30 days notice after the warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale
price of the common stock is at least $14.25 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given.

Business Combination

On March 12, 2008 we entered into a purchase agreement (the Purchase Agreement) pursuant to which we agreed to acquire a majority interest in a newly formed entity which would own all of the management and
fee generating entities affiliated with Halcyon Asset Management, LLC, a global alternative asset management firm (Halcyon).

On June 23, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with Halcyon (the Termination Agreement) to mutually terminate the Purchase Agreement. Under the terms of the Termination Agreement, the Company
and

17

---

Halcyon agreed to a release of any claims against each other, as more fully set forth in the Termination Agreement. The Company is currently evaluating other target businesses for a potential business combination.

Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and for the period from January 26, 2007 (inception) to June 30, 2008, we had net (loss) income of ($161,873), $1,389,224 and $5,101,215, respectively.
Our income was all derived from interest and dividends earned on the net proceeds of our initial public offering. For the period from January 26, 2007 (inception) to June 30, 2007 we had net loss of $1,000.

We incurred $1,887,448 and $2,284,255 in formation and operating costs during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and for the period from January 26, 2007 (inception) to June 30, 2008, respectively. These costs
consisted of approximately $1,419,000 of terminated acquisition related costs, $201,000 of legal and accounting, $57,000 for director and officer insurance, $60,000 for administrative services, $82,000 for taxes and the balance
of $68,000 for other miscellaneous expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2008. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, we expensed approximately $1,419,000 of previously deferred terminated acquisition costs, $155,000 of
corporate, legal and accounting expenses, $29,000 of insurance costs, and $57,000 of administrative and traveling costs.

All activity from January 26, 2007 (inception) through August 7, 2007 related to our formation and our initial public offering described above. Since August 8, 2007, we have been searching for a target company to
acquire. On March 12, 2008 we entered into a definitive agreement to enter into an initial business combination with Halcyon. On June 23, 2008 we terminated that definitive agreement with Halcyon and we and Halcyon agreed to a release of any claims
against each other. Costs associated with the acquisition in the amount of approximately $1,419,216 have been expensed. We believe that we have sufficient funds available to complete our efforts to affect an initial business combination with an
operating business within the required 24 months from the date of our final prospectus, or August 1, 2009.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial
partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have never established any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options
on non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or other long-term liabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2008, we had cash of $706,298 and restricted cash of $404,386,180 which is held in a trust account. Until our initial public offering, as described above, our only source of liquidity was the
proceeds from the initial private sale of our stock and the subsequent loan made by a stockholder. As of June 30, 2008, we had repaid this loan. Since our initial public offering, our only source of revenue has been from the interest and dividends
earned on our cash accounts. The proceeds from our initial public offering that were placed in a trust account were invested in United States government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of
1940 having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of June 30, 2008 the funds placed in trust are earning interest at the rate of
approximately 1.44%.

18

---

Subject to our stockholders approval, we will use substantially all of the net proceeds of our initial public offering in connection with acquiring one or more target businesses, including identifying and
evaluating prospective target businesses, selecting one or more target businesses, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the initial business combination. To the extent we use our capital stock in whole or in part as consideration for an
initial business combination, the proceeds held in the trust account (less amounts paid to any public stockholders who exercise their conversion rights and deferred underwriting discounts and commissions paid to the underwriters) as well as any
other net proceeds not expended prior to that time will be used to finance the operations of the target business or businesses. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business
operations and for strategic acquisitions. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial business combination if the funds available to us outside of
the trust account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

We expect our primary liquidity requirements to include approximately $800,000 for expenses for the due diligence and investigation of a target business or businesses; an aggregate of $240,000 for office space,
administrative services and support payable to Hanover Group US LLC, representing $10,000 per month for up to 24 months; $120,000 for legal and accounting fees relating to our SEC reporting obligations; and approximately $2,365,000 for
general working capital that will be used for legal fees in connection with structuring and negotiating a business combination transaction, preparing SEC filings in connection with a business combination and miscellaneous expenses. However, if our
estimate of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, or if interest payments are not available to fund the expenses at the time we incur them,
we may be required to raise additional capital, the amount, availability and cost of which is currently unascertainable. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate our initial business combination or because we become
obligated to convert into cash a significant number of shares of public stockholders voting against our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination.
Following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

As of June 30, 2008, we had withdrawn $8,078,366 of the interest and dividends earned on the funds held in our trust account. Pursuant to the terms of our trust agreement governing our trust account, we are entitled
to use up to $3,500,000 of the earnings (subject to restrictions for monies needed to pay income and franchise tax liabilities) for working capital, provided, however, that the aggregate amount of all such distributions for working capital and
income tax payments shall not exceed the total earnings. Of the funds withdrawn, $5,461,794 was for taxes. Therefore, up to $883,428 is still to be remitted, for working capital purposes, to our operating account which had a balance of
$706,298 as of June 30, 2008. Once the $883,428 is distributed, only distributions to pay tax liabilities will be allowed. We have refunds due of $1,019,916 on the state and city tax estimates we have made, which will be returned back to
the Trust Account upon receipt. Our liabilities are all related to costs associated with operating as a public company and searching for an acquisition target. We believe our working capital will continue to be sufficient to fund our operations
until a target is acquired.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As of June 30, 2008, our efforts were limited to organizational activities, activities relating to our initial public offering, activities involving searching for an acquisition target and activities relating to the
proposed business combination with Halcyon, which has subsequently been terminated and we had neither engaged in any income producing operations nor generated any revenues other than the interest earned on the proceeds of our initial public
offering.

Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument. These changes may be the result of various factors, including interest rates, foreign
exchange rates, commodity prices, and/or equity prices. Approximately $402.4 million of the net offering proceeds (which includes $13.5 million of the proceeds attributable to the underwriters deferred discount from our initial public
offering) has been placed in a trust account at Citigroup Global Markets Inc., with the Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company as trustee. As of June 30, 2008, the balance of the trust account was $405,323,306 (of which $937,126 was
available for working capital and taxes). The proceeds of our initial public offering held in trust have only been invested in U.S. government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment

19

---

Company Act of 1940 having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Thus, we are currently subject to market risk primarily through the
effect of changes in interest rates on short-term government securities and other highly rated money-market instruments. As of June 30, 2008, the effective annualized interest rate payable on our investment was approximately 1.44%. Assuming no
other changes to our holdings as of June 30, 2008, a 1% decrease in the underlying interest rate payable on our investment as of June 30, 2008 would result in a decrease of approximately $1.0 million in the interest earned on our investment for
the following 90-day period. Because we are required to invest in government securities or money market funds, as described above, we are unable to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates on short-term government securities and
other highly rated money-marked instruments. We do not believe that the effect of other changes, such as foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, and/or equity prices currently pose significant market risk for us.

We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception. We do not currently expect to engage in any hedging activities.

ITEM 4T. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and treasurer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008. Based upon their evaluation, they concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under The Exchange Act) were effective.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the most
recently completed fiscal quarter.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.

None.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report are any of the risks described in Item 1A Risk Factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the SEC. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we
currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the SEC, except that the agreement with Halcyon for a proposed
business combination was terminated on June 23, 2008, therefore the Risk Factors, as they relate to the terminated business combination with Halcyon, are no longer applicable.

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

There were no unregistered sales of equity securities by the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

20

---

On August 7, 2007, we consummated our initial public offering of 41,400,000 units, which includes 5,400,000 units pursuant to the underwriters over-allotment option. The securities sold in the our initial public
offering were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 on a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-141593). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on August 1, 2007. All of the units registered were sold at an offering
price of $10.00 per unit and generated gross proceeds of $414,000,000. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase from us one share of our common stock at an exercise price
of $7.50. Each warrant will become exercisable on the later of our completion of a business combination or November 1, 2008 and will expire on July 31, 2012, or earlier upon redemption.

In connection with our offering, we incurred a total of $15,525,000 in underwriting discounts and $914,623 for costs and expenses related to the offering. The underwriters have agreed to defer an additional
$13,455,000 of the underwriting discount (equal to 3.25% of the gross proceeds of the offering). These proceeds are held in the trust account and will not be released until the earlier to occur of the completion of our initial business
combination or our liquidation. In addition, the trust account holds the proceeds from the sale of the warrants on a private placement basis. In total, we deposited $402,425,000 in the trust account.

For a description of the use of proceeds generated in the Offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
