2005 Record Sales Increase 25% Over 2004 and Record Fourth Quarter 2005 Sales Increase 20% Over Fourth Quarter 2004 KEYSTONE HEIGHTS, Fla., Jan. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:AATK) is pleased to announce that the preliminary unaudited estimated sales for the year ended December 31, 2005 were a record- breaking, all-time corporate high of $8,434,000, a solid increase of 25% over the sales for 2004 of $6,740,000. For the three months ended December 31, 2005, preliminary unaudited estimated sales were $2,141,000, which is a record-breaking, all-time corporate best fourth quarter and the second best quarter in the history of the Company. Sales for the fourth quarter 2005 exceeded sales for the three months ended December 31, 2004, of $1,787,000 by 20%. "We are extremely pleased with our sales results for the year 2005 and we are very proud of the job our entire team has done this year. The $8.43 million in sales represented our third consecutive year of reporting record sales. The fourth quarter sales represented the third consecutive quarter with over two million in sales and marked the thirteenth quarter out of the last fourteen with year-over-year quarterly sales increases," commented Joe McGuire, Chief Financial Officer. "We believe that our actions, both strategic and tactical, have put American Access in a much better position today than it has been over the last few years. Current trends and indications lead us to anticipate that 2006 will result in our fourth consecutive year of record sales. While preliminary unaudited results indicate that the fourth quarter of 2005 did not generate the $60,000 in net income needed to achieve profitability in 2005, our progress towards that goal was substantial. We anticipate price increases planned for 2006 will enable us to reach this goal in 2006. We enter the new year well positioned to continue with our corporate mission to increase our revenues, control our expenses, increase shareholders' value and achieve our fourth consecutive best year in our history," added McGuire. Detailed information on financial results for the year ended December 31, 2005 will be included in the Company's audited Annual Report on Form 10-KSB that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in approximately 60 to 75 days. The preliminary sales results noted above are subject to revision. About American Access Technologies, Inc.
