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 our initial business combination;
- Success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors following our 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 NYSE Amex or the ability to have our securities listed on the NYSE Amex following our initial business combination;
- Use of proceeds not held in the trust account or available to us from interest and dividend 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 refers 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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

|         |                                                                  
|-------- | -----------------------------------------------------------------
|NOTE 1 - | INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION, ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS,
|         | GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

These unaudited condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2009 and for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, and for the period from January 26, 2007 (inception) through March 31, 2009, have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim period presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the period ended December 31, 2008 included in Alternative Asset Management Acquisition Corp.s (the
Company) Form 10-K filed on March 16, 2009. The accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited condensed financial statements are consistent with those described in the December 31, 2008 financial statements.

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, although it is not limited to such industry (a Business Combination). However, the Company may explore potential business combinations with
target businesses outside of the alternative asset management sector and related businesses. 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.

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 its initial public offering. Since August 8, 2007, the Company has been searching for an acquisition target.

In connection with the Companys initial public 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 announcing 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 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.

Going Concern and Managements Plan and Intentions

As of March 31, 2009, the Company had working capital of $526,599. Other than interest and dividend income of up to $3.5 million from the Trust Account, the Companys only source of income, to enable it to continue to fund its search
for an acquisition candidate, is the interest it earns on its money not held in the Trust Account. These funds may not be sufficient to maintain the Company until a Business Combination is consummated. In addition, there can be no assurance that the
Company will enter into a Business Combination prior to August 1, 2009. Pursuant to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Company would have to liquidate pursuant to a dissolution plan and return the funds held in the Trust
Account to the holders of shares issued in its initial public offering. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Accretion of Trust Account Relating to Common Stock Subject to Possible Conversion

The Company records accretion, if any, 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 will be reflected on the balance sheet as part of Common stock
subject to possible conversion and is deducted from Additional paid-in capital. The portion of the excess earnings will also be presented as a deduction from the 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. At March 31, 2009 accretion of trust account income amounted to $1,668,545.

Earnings Per Share

The Company follows the provisions of 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 stock 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 Income. 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.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (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 March 31, 2009, financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to credit risk consisted of cash and cash equivalents held in trust. At March 31, 2009, the
Companys Trust Account is invested in Citi Institutional US Treasury Reserve Fund at one financial institution. At times, the Companys cash and cash held in trust account may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) insurance limits.

Recently Issued And Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Positions (FSP) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 140-4 and FASB Interpretation Number (FIN) No.
46R-8, Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities (FSP SFAS No. 140-4 and FIN No. 46R-8). This statement increases the disclosure requirements regarding
continuing involvement with financial assets that have been transferred, as well as the companys involvement with variable interest entities. The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for interim periods ending after December 15,
2008. The adoption of this pronouncement has not had a material impact on the companys financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 107-1 (FSP FAS 107-1) and APB 28-1 (APB 28-1), which amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments and APB Opinion NO. 28, Interim
Financial Reporting, to require disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 will be effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15,

|NOTE 3 - | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

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 Halcyon agreed to a release of
any claims against each other, as more fully set forth in the Termination Agreement, and the Company agreed to reimburse Halcyon for $1,000,000 of its expenses in the event that the Company consummates a Business Combination on or prior to
August 1, 2009.

On March 6, 2009, the Company entered into a consulting agreement for services to provide assistance with due diligence, transaction structuring, and documentation for a potential acquisition. The agreement provides for reimbursement of expenses of
up to $15,000, of which the company paid a $5,000 deposit, an opinion fee of $100,000, should the Company request an opinion on the value of a potential target (which will be credited against the success fee), and a success fee of
$2,500,000 upon the closing date.

On February 10, 2009, the Company received notice from the staff of the NYSE Amex, or the Exchange, that, based on their review of publicly available information, the Company is not considered to be in compliance with Section 704 of the
Exchanges Company Guide in that the Company did not hold an annual meeting of its stockholders during 2008. In order to maintain the listing of its common stock on Exchange, the Company was required to submit a plan by March 10, 2009, advising
the Exchange of the actions it has taken, or will take, that will bring it into compliance by August 11, 2009. The Company submitted a plan to the NYSE Amex on March 6, 2009 explaining that, pursuant to its amended and restated articles of
incorporation, it must consummate an initial business combination by August 1, 2009, or it will dissolve and liquidate. As a result, the Company will either hold an annual meeting of stockholders prior to August 1, 2009 or liquidate, in which case
its securities would be delisted from the Exchange. As of the date of this report, the Exchange has not notified the Company as to whether or not its plan will be accepted. If the Exchange accepts the Companys plan, then it may be able to
continue its listing during the time up to August 11, 2009, but during that time it will be subject to periodic review by the Exchange to determine whether it is making progress consistent with its plan. If the Companys plan is not accepted by
the Exchange, then the Company expects that it will become subject to delisting proceedings by the Exchange. Furthermore, if the Companys plan is accepted but it is not in compliance with the continued listing standards at August 11, 2009, or
it does not make progress consistent with its plan during the time up to August 11, 2009, then the Company expects that the Exchange will initiate delisting proceedings.

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.

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. However, we may explore potential business combinations with target businesses outside of the alternative asset management sector and related
businesses. A business combination with a target business outside of the alternative asset management sector is not prohibited by the terms of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. 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 upon of the completion of an initial business combination 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.

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
Halcyon agreed to a release of any claims against each other, as more fully set forth in the Termination Agreement and the Company agreed to reimburse Halycon for $1,000,000 of its expenses in the event the Company consummates a business
combination prior to August 1, 2009. 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 ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the period from January 26, 2007 (inception) through March 31, 2009, we had net (loss) income of $(26,524), $1,551,096 and $6,303,040, respectively.
Our income was all derived from interest and dividends earned on the net proceeds of our initial public offering.

We incurred $276,494 and $227,299 in formation and operating costs during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These costs consisted of approximately $144,000 of legal and
accounting, $29,000 for director and officer insurance, $53,000 for administrative services, $41,000 for taxes and the balance of $10,000

12

---



for other miscellaneous expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2009. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we expensed approximately $100,000 of corporate, legal and accounting expenses, $29,000 of insurance costs,
$42,000 of Delaware Franchise taxes, and $30,000 of administrative and traveling costs, and the balance of $26,000 for other miscellaneous expenses of the period.

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. On June 23, 2008 we terminated that definitive agreement with Halcyon and agreed to a release of any claims against each other. Costs
associated with the acquisition in the amount of approximately $1,537,459 have been expensed. The Company is currently evaluating other target businesses for a potential business combination.

Going Concern and Managements Plan and Intentions

Our funds may not be sufficient to maintain the Company until a business combination is consummated. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will enter into a business combination prior to August 1, 2009.
Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, if we are unable to consummate a timely business combination, we would have to liquidate and return the funds held in our trust account to the holders of shares issued in our initial public offering as
previously described. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

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 March 31, 2009, we had available cash of $670,628 and $70,222 cash held in trust account, dividends and interest available for working capital and taxes and cash held in trust account - restricted of
$407,571,636. 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. The funds placed in trust earned an annualized interest rate of approximately 0.24% during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

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. 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

13

---



could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of an initial business combination if the funds available to us outside of the trust account were insufficient to cover such
expenses.

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 an initial
business combination or because we become obligated to convert into cash a significant number of shares of public stockholders voting against an 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. We have not taken any steps to obtain such financing
and there is no assurance we would be able to obtain such financing.

As of March 31, 2009, we had withdrawn $8,371,123 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, $4,900,126 was for taxes and $3,470,997 was for working capital. Therefore, as of March 31, 2009, up to $70,222 was available for withdrawal
from our trust account for working capital purposes and taxes to our operating account which had a balance of $670,628 as of March 31, 2009. Once the $3,500,000 is distributed, only distributions to pay income and franchise tax liabilities
will be allowed. As of the date of this filing, we have received refunds due of $866,983 on state and city tax estimated payments that we made, which have been returned back to the trust account. Our liabilities are all related to costs
associated with operating as a public company and searching for an acquisition target. Although there is a possibility to the contrary, we believe we will have sufficient funds available to us from interest and dividends earned on the trust account
to operate through the later of August 1, 2009 or the date upon which we consummate a business combination.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As of March 31, 2009, 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. The Company continues to evaluate other target businesses for a potential business combination.

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 March 31, 2009, the balance of the trust account was $407,641,858 (of which $70,222 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 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 March 31, 2009, the effective interest rate payable on our investment was approximately 0.24% . Assuming no other changes to our holdings as of
March 31, 2009, a 1% increase or decrease in the underlying interest rate received on our investment as of March 31, 2009 would result in a increase or decrease of approximately $1 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

14

---



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 4. Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were evaluated as of
the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Companys CEO and CFO concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in all material respects.

During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting which materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Companys internal control over financial reporting.
