Third Quarter Results

Confirms Projection for a Profitable 2006

Keystone Heights, FL – November 14, 2006 – (PRIMEZONE) – American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AATK) reported unaudited financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Highlights of the quarter include:

 

  •   Sixth consecutive quarter with sales in excess of $2 million.
  •   Best-ever nine-month income recorded.

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $2,063,537, a decrease of 12.5% over sales of $2,357,703 in the third quarter of 2005. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $6,363,325, an increase of 1.1% over sales of $6,293,400 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

For the three months ended September 30, 2006, American Access generated a net loss of $7,162 or $0.00 per basic and diluted share, which was a decrease of $16,168 (or 180%) from the net income of $9,006 or $0.00 per basic and diluted share over the comparative three-month period in 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company generated net income of $130,450 or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, which was an increase of $191,827 (or 313%) from the net loss of $61,377 or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share over the comparative nine-month period in 2005. This year’s results include a charge of $40,000 in the September 30th quarter related to a litigation matter. Absent this charge, third quarter and nine month net income would have been $32,838 and $170,450, respectively, compared to net income of $9,006 and net loss of $61,377 for the same periods in 2005.

Joe McGuire, Chief Financial Officer, commented on the quarterly results and outlook for the balance of 2006 as follows:

“Our results in the third quarter reflect the progress we have made in improving our gross margin by increased productivity, better pricing, and an improved mix of business. These results support our confidence in projecting a profitable 2006. However, quarter-to-quarter sales and margin rates are subject to fluctuations due to many factors.

Our third quarter sales were the sixth consecutive quarter with over $2 million in sales. We expect 2006 will be our fourth consecutive record sales year. American Access maintained its strong balance sheet position during the third quarter, highlighted by reporting over $1,000,000 in cash and cash equivalents and maintaining its long-term debt-free status. American Access is firmly committed to driving profitable growth and creating shareholder value through the remainder of 2006.”

For detailed information about the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006, please read the Company’s financial statements and footnotes, which will be included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission later today.
