Former GE Supply Manager Joins American Access Technologies' Sales Team
LAKE MARY, FL - February 27, 2002
A former General Electric Supply Co. National Account Manager with over 30 years of experience in sales and marketing in both manufacturing and distribution will join American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AATK), the Company announced today.
Jack Lichtenberg brings a solid background in voice and data zone cabling, coupled with his outstanding sales ability and interpersonal skills. Over Jack's career, he has earned many national sales awards, including representative of the year and Lucent's outstanding customer achievement award.
"We are pleased to welcome Jack to our sales team. We believe that, with his track record and his professional experience, we can draw on his expertise to significantly benefit this Company as it continues to grow and evolve," said American Access President John Presley.
"Before I made my final decision to join American Access, I wanted to visit with their key customers to see first hand the kind of reputation and approval levels they maintain. By the end of the day, I was beyond convinced that American Access was definitely the Company I wanted to be associated with," Lichtenberg said. "IT managers will always be required to make immediate and economical changes to their cabling systems. Zone cabling is absolutely the way to combine a technologically sound network with a flexible, cost-efficient way to make swift modifications."

American Access Technologies expands capacity with new equipment
LAKE MARY, FL - February 26, 2002
American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ Small Cap: AATK) announced today that it is expanding its manufacturing capabilities. The Company, through its Omega Metals subsidiary, will acquire capital production equipment that will cost approximately $500,000 and will increase current manufacturing capacity approximately 20 percent.
"Two issues that prompted the capital expenditure were the growing customer demand for our zone cabling products and the fact that our customers have come to expect the highest quality product from us," said American Access Technologies' President John Presley. "Our continued focus on customer service and providing a superior product creates a unique niche for American Access, and we're poised to take advantage of those opportunities that present themselves."
Presley noted that the information released today gives some guidance to investors for the plans for the Company's capital. We are investing in our infrastructure, hiring the best for our sales team and investing the remaining cash in our accounts receivable as our sales increase.

Former Tyco-AMP DSM Joins American Access Technologies' Sales Team
LAKE MARY, FL - February 11, 2002
A former Tyco-Amp manager responsible for $25 million in sales within his Chicago district will oversee sales in the Midwest for American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AATK), the Company announced today.
M. Scott Simpson brings 25 years of experience in communications technology to the Company, including his involvement with zone cabling during his years as District Sales Manager for Tyco's AMP, and his recent position as National Accounts Manager for GE Supply.
"We are pleased to welcome Scott to our sales team. We believe that, with his track record of successes in sales and management, he can deliver the superior service our existing partners are expecting and accelerate our sales plan to effectively handle this rapidly growing market," said American Access President John Presley.
"I have been involved with zone cabling since the early 1990s, long before standards bodies recognized that this configuration would be an excellent solution for IT and Communications managers who wanted to minimize desktop cabling cost without sacrificing performance," Simpson said. "I believe that zone cabling provides end-users with the most flexible, cost effective way to network in today's fast-paced, ever-changing environment, and American Access has the premier product to accomplish that result."
Vice President Wil Boyd, who has worked with Simpson over the past 10 years, hailed him as a zone cabling visionary.
"Scott brings the passion and a clear understanding of zone cabling from its early days to the present. He is also a Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD) and a member of Building Industry Consulting Services International (BICSI), two very desirable affiliations in this business," Boyd said.

American Access Technologies Reports BICSI Conference A Success
First Quarter Sales Ahead of 4th Quarter Pace
LAKE MARY, FL - February 1, 2002
American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AATK) announced today that the recent BICSI Conference held last week in Orlando was a smashing success.
"The industry's growing acceptance of our product lines was evident in our meetings with our strategic partners throughout the week," said American Access President John Presley. The inquiries and job quotes for our newest zone cabling enclosures rolled out at BICSI, our wireless enclosures and our standard zone cabling enclosures exceeded even our optimistic expectations. This can be best evidenced by the fact that we have already produced 4,000 wireless enclosures.
The Company also held its initial Advisory Board meeting at the BICSI conference. "We hit the ground running due to the strength and depth of this Board," noted Wil Boyd Vice-President. Each member contributed his expertise and enthusiasm for the American Access product lines.
"January was a good start to the New Year for us and our future bookings are increasing steadily and it has propelled American Access sales to a pace ahead of our 4th quarter 2001," added Chief Financial Officer Joe McGuire.
Hosting several conferences each year, BICSI, Building Industry Consulting Services International, is the definitive authority that implements and teaches standards and specifications enacted by Telecommunications Industry Association for structured cabling throughout the world.

American Access Technologies Preliminary Fourth Quarter Sales Increase 44%
Road to Profitability/Austerity Campaign Continues
LAKE MARY, FL - January 25, 2002
American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AATK) announced today that based on preliminary review of its fourth quarter results, it expects fourth quarter sales to exceed its third quarter sales by 44%. American Access indicated that sales for the fourth quarter are expected to exceed $1.12 million as compared to $777,000 in the prior quarter.
"What we saw during the fourth quarter gives us continued confidence that our road to profitability is right on course, even during a weak economy and in light of the events of September 11," said American Access President John Presley. "The expenditures for research and development of our patented proprietary products, the expansion of our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, redirected sales efforts and lower overhead are all paying dividends."
Chief Financial Officer Joe McGuire said the Company is financially well-positioned moving into the new year and tight control of all operating expenses is a top priority of every employee. "Our mission to avoid an onerous debt or preferred stock deal in 2001 was an interim goal that was a success. The neutral cash flow in the third quarter and positive cash flow in the fourth quarter left the Company with more than $2 million in cash at year-end and no long term debt. We project sales will be self-sustaining for our future operating cash requirements."
Presley noted that a crucial key to success is the industry acceptance of the American Access product lines. "Requests for our products are presently coming from around the world and it is attributable to the resources the strategic partners in our private label arrangements bring to American Access. Although we are at the very early stages of these agreements, incoming orders and requests for quotes on our patented zone cabling enclosures, our new wireless product and our sheet metal work currently exceed what was experienced in the fourth quarter."
The Company's complete, audited financial statements are expected to be published within the next six weeks.

American Access Technologies Acquires Rights to UV Light Home Air Cleansing System
LAKE MARY, FL - January 14, 2002
Telecommunications equipment manufacturer American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AATK) said today that it is expanding the Company's product portfolio to include an ultraviolet light Air Cleansing System for the home acquired for $50,000 cash, $500,000 in restricted stock, and cancellation of a $123,000 account receivable by the Company.
The Eclipse system uses ultraviolet light technology installed in a home's air-conditioning system to disinfect germs and bacteria and neutralize mold and dust mites that contaminate the indoor air a family breathes.
"We are all concerned about our families' well-being, and we all seek the optimum healthy home environment. This air cleansing system harnesses for your home the benefits of ultraviolet light, which has been used for years to sterilize germs and kill bacteria in hospitals and restaurants," said American Access President John Presley.
"We have manufactured about 35,000 units for Bill Sherer Corporation over the past three years. Taking over this product line should result in increased profits and revenue for American Access," Mr. Presley added. The current price for the product to installers is $119 per unit.
Mr. Sherer will continue to market the products for American Access under a separate one-year, renewable agreement.
"We believe that within a decade, most if not all AC systems will have germicidal ultraviolet built in. American Access Technologies brings to the table the resources necessary for success in this developing market," Mr. Sherer said.
"For the past three years, Eclipse has been a leader in providing quality air cleansing UV products serving both home and office. Eclipse is distinguished as a triple crown product in today¹s market : full certification (ETL Listed), lifetime warranty and high output germicidal UV; all in an affordable and easily installed package," Mr. Sherer said.

American Access Technologies Expands Product Line to Meet Customers' Needs
LAKE MARY, FL - December 19, 2001
In response to customers' escalating demands, American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ Small Cap: AATK) has expanded its product line to include zone cabling cabinets designed for smaller telecommunications systems projects.
"This application is for a basic zone concept and is a true consolidation point cabinet for those customers who don't need a lot of capacity, but who are interested in zone cabling," said Vice President Will Boyd.
The new, economical cabinet is space-efficient for a small office environment. It is housed in either the floor or ceiling and is available in both plenum and non-plenum rated versions.
"Because of our manufacturing efficiencies, we can respond quickly when our customers clamor for a new product in the ever-evolving telecommunications market. This will allow smaller offices to reap the advantages of flexibility and economy afforded by installing our cabinets," said President John Presley.
The new products, including the company's recently released wireless access point enclosure, will be displayed at the Building Industry Consulting Services International (BICSI) trade show to be held January 21-24, 2002 in Orlando, FL.
American Access manufactures patented zone cabling units that mount in ceilings, raised floors, and in custom furniture, routing traditional cabling, fiber optics and wireless to the office desktop. The Company¹s concept of "zone cabling" reduces costs for installation and moves, adds, and changes by as much as 70% while providing plug and play, up-gradable networks, fiber optics and wireless LAN.

American Access Technologies Posts President's Message to Shareholders
LAKE MARY, FL - December 11, 2001
American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ Small Cap: AATK) today released President John E. Presley's following letter to shareholders:
Success for American Access Technologies, Inc. has been a conundrum in 2001. We are a good, solid, debt-free company with adequate working capital and a patented product but, until now, that product has had limited acceptance in the marketplace.
I promise you, we have studied this puzzle, and we are working toward solving it.
Over the past two years, we had to learn how to sell our unique products when they were not widely accepted by the telecommunications industry. From the beginning, we believed that our zone cabling cabinets would find their niche and prove to be a viable alternative to traditional home run cabling methods. Meanwhile, we planned that American Access' solvency would come through our Omega sheet metal fabricating jobs. Indeed, the plant has run double shifts in recent months, and we have gained recognition for our participation in the production of chemical warfare detectors. Along the way, we began looking for a merger candidate that, combined with our strengths, would add to shareholder value.
Despite our best efforts, we made a couple of mistakes.
Our online marketing attempts have been suspended pending evaluation. The method of sales online would have penalized our longstanding distributors, and we did not want to do that. We lost money on this approach, and we apologize.
We made a good faith effort to merge with DataWorld Solutions, Inc., so we could increase our sales and expand our realm in both products offered and in our revenue stream. We had no choice but to terminate that merger after a DataWorld news release confirmed that the merger would not be in the best interest of our stockholders.
Many of you have asked why we didn't seek acquisition by a much larger company. When our management began strategizing about our future growth, we talked to many companies, large and small. And we learned that American Access at $5 million in revenues is much too small a fry to be considered for acquisition by a very large corporation. How can we become a viable candidate? By growing steadily and surely and by continuing to look for a strategic partner or a good merger candidate.
Meanwhile, the economy has been in a severe slump, and most analysts predict that it won't begin to recover until sometime next year. Our sales in 2001 have certainly suffered for it since many of our metal customers have gone out of business, and many zone cabling projects have been postponed. But we have survived what we believe to be the worst of it, and we are not giving up. As the patriarch of our management team, with 40 years experience in business, I personally have been through five or six recessions, and you should know that I will not give up. We have taken appropriate cost-cutting measures, we have money in the bank, and we intend to survive.
In October, our investment bankers, a former officer/director, a director, and some employees exercised stock purchase warrants, from which the Company gained almost $2.9 million. We have already earmarked some of this working capital for expansion of our sales and marketing efforts and our in-house engineering capabilities. Not only are we focused on selling our product, but a renewed effort is being made to market our Company to potential investors.
We expect to work hard on your behalf, and to thrive in the future. The signs are becoming clearer that our new sales program and company direction will be successful. For a comprehensive look at the cost efficiency of our products, please visit our website, www.aatk.com, and read our commissioned White Paper, or contact us for a copy.
Major telecommunications network systems providers are beginning to advertise zone cabling products in trade journals. We manufactured and private-labeled some of the products featured in those ads.
We believe that the moment for which you have been patiently waiting, the moment zone cabling "happens" in the marketplace, is near. We can feel it, hear it, see it. During 2001, zone cabling has been a hot topic at Building Industry Consulting Services International (BICSI) conferences, and the esteemed Telecommunications Industry Association, charged with defining and setting standards in the industry, recently convened a special panel on the subject. Also, we have been asked to join TIA, an honor we quickly accepted. Additionally, we have created our own advisory board of recognized industry professionals who can help guide us and who can share their years of acumen gained working in telecommunications and related fields. We are experiencing growing acceptance of our newest wireless enclosure, recently specified at University of Florida, and the subject of a private label agreement with a major systems provider, coordinated through our distributor, Anixter International, Inc. Hitachi's Maxcess has committed to incorporating our enclosures in its under-floor system, and we provided a key component to the Pentagon's ongoing renovation using secured access enclosures for national safety. You can read our press releases on these and other subjects by visiting our website, www.aatk.com.
We are well positioned. But of course, we need your patient support and help. When we announce a major agreement, such as with divisions of Tyco, you won't see our sales skyrocket overnight. Understand that. It takes time to take this product to market, but rest assured, we are taking it there.
Now is a good time for you to add to your position as a shareholder in AATK stock, trading on Nasdaq. As you know, the nation¹s stock markets, and particularly the telecommunications sector, have been hit hard by recent economic and political events. We believe the downturn is cyclical. As Abraham Lincoln¹s advisors wrote for him when asked for words of wisdom applicable in good times and in bad, "This too, shall pass". Invest in us by the old adage, Buy Low, Sell High. We believe our stock is undervalued, a true bargain right now, but if we have our way, it won¹t be for long.
We ask that our loyal shareholders, and our new friends, join us on this incredible journey we are taking toward success. We can promise you quite an adventure.

Former Tyco Division President to Chair American Access Technologies' Advisory Board
LAKE MARY, FL - December 4, 2001
The former president of two business units for Tyco International Ltd. has been named chairman of the American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ Small Cap: AATK), newly-created advisory board, the Company announced today.
Richard McGrail, current president, chief operating officer and a director of AVTEK, Inc., a private multi-industry manufacturing company, served as president of America Cable Systems and AFC UniFab, divisions of Tyco, from 1996 to 2001. McGrail is also president and chief operating officer and director of Lynch Corp., a public company.
American Access President John Presley said McGrail joins the board as a highly lauded member. "Our vice president, Will Boyd, conveys his great respect for Rich, after having worked with him for more than 10 years. We both consider it a coup to have Rich as chairman of the American Access Advisory Board," Presley said.

Specifically, he held senior business management, technical marketing, and product management positions with Digital Equipment Corp, Allied Data Communications, Inc., and in the cable television industry.
Additionally, McGrail is active in the Telecommunication Industry Association (TIA), including membership on the TIA TR-41.8 Working Group responsible for the development of the commercial building wiring specifications for distributed Open Office Cabling.
"My experience with zone cabling has evolved over the past several years, just as the telecommunications industry has been evolving and developing. The growing acceptance of zone cabling is very exciting, since customers now require more flexible infrastructure, and that is being provided by products such as those designed and manufactured by American Access, " McGrail said.
Advisory board members will assist American Access in evaluating joint ventures, pending and future private label agreements, and possible future acquisitions and mergers. Additionally, members may review public relations and marketing materials, make presentations, introduce the Company¹s zone cabling products to help establish a niche in the marketplace, suggest improvements to business procedures, and advise the Company on products, industry customs and trends.

Customer-Oriented Engineer to Manage American Access Technologies' Plant
LAKE MARY, FL - November 26, 2001
American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ Small Cap: AATK) announced today that it continues to add key personnel after the exercise of warrants brought almost $2.9 million in working capital to the Company in October.
Bill Wiisanen, 34, joins the staff as manager of the American Access plant, one of the Company's two manufacturing facilities. Wiisanen holds a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Florida. He earned Black Belt level in Six Sigma as an engineer for Allied Signal/Honeywell.

"We had begun adding to our sales team, and we are pleased to welcome Bill to our engineering team. Bill brings to our organization a strong customer service background as well as his focus on quality and productivity," said American Access President John Presley.
"I'm excited about the opportunity to work with American Access, a company with great potential and a strong base of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) customers. My primary focus, as our customers should expect, is product quality and on-time delivery. I believe that quality should never be compromised, and our strategies will be customer-driven," Wiisanen said.

Corporate Marketing VP Lends Expertise to American Access Technologies' Advisory Board
LAKE MARY, FL - November 9, 2001
The vice president of a pre-eminent design-build general contracting firm operating throughout the Americas will lend his 30 years of business expertise to the American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ Small Cap: AATK) newly-created advisory board, the Company announced today.
Lamar Nash, vice president and corporate marketing officer for The Haskell Co., describes himself as a long-time fan of zone cabling who promoted it during its infancy in the early 1990s. "I opted to work with zone cabling then, and have seen it used in successful installations since. In the construction business, we make a lot of moves, adds, and changes, including right here in our own building, and the real attraction to zone cabling is how it handles those reconfigurations for less cost and with more flexibility."
American Access President John Presley said Nash's extensive experience in business development, marketing, management, and in public and governmental affairs will be invaluable to the board. "Lamar understands business and he understands zone cabling. His well-rounded background makes him a clear choice for our Advisory Board."
Nash plans to propose that the board make education one of its topics. "It's a matter of folks understanding the benefits of zone cabling. I am confident that once people are made aware of those benefits, acceptance of zone cabling in the marketplace will continue to grow."
Additionally, Nash is a member of the Tempus Software, Inc. Board of Directors, the chairman of the Florida First Capital Finance Corp., a former director of the Jacksonville, Florida Chamber of Commerce Committee of 100, past president of the Florida Economic Development Council, former co-owner of a small business with $5 million in annual sales, a member of the First Coast Manufacturers Association governmental affairs and Design-Build Institute of America public relations committees, and a licensed real estate broker.
Advisory board members will assist American Access in evaluating joint ventures, pending and future private label agreements, and possible future acquisitions and mergers. Additionally, members may review public relations and marketing materials, make presentations, introduce the Company's zone cabling products to help establish a niche in the marketplace, suggest improvements to business procedures, and advise the Company on products, industry customs and trends.
The Company plans to profile other new members in future news releases, Presley said.

Warrant Exercise Fuels American Access Technologies With Almost $2.9 Million in Working Capital
LAKE MARY, FL - October 31, 2001
American Access Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq Small Cap: AATK) today announced that the exercise of stock purchase warrants by investment bankers, consultants and employees in addition to the repayment of a note by a former insider this past week brought almost $2.9 million to the Company coffers.
Investment bankers' underlying shares were the subject of a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in March, and which became effective October 10, 2001. Employees, officers and directors were also granted stock purchase warrants in December 2000, the underlying shares of which were registered in April 2001. Although the two groups exercised 1,277,522 warrants at prices ranging from $1.65 to $2.25, netting the Company approximately $2,605,000, no officers or directors of the Company sold any stock during the recent price spike. A former officer/director who exercised warrants applied a portion of the proceeds from the sale of stock to repayment of two promissory notes to the Company for a total of $200,000 principal and $26,866.80 interest.
"By paying off an equipment lease, we have no long-term debt, leaving us in an advantageous debt-free position with money in the bank for our future growth plans," said American Access President John Presley.
Mr. Presley said the funds will be used to expand the engineering and sales staff, for development of new products, and for marketing campaigns including those in conjunction with private label partners.
The Company has already hired one account executive, an 11-year sales veteran who has spent the past six years in telecommunications. Vickie Carter has worked as a consultant representing Mohawk and Leviton cable and fiber products, and was account representative for a telecommunications contractor, through which she was responsible for the design, installation and service of copper and fiber optic cable systems for clients that included colleges, universities, local government and national accounts.
"It's exciting and rewarding to be on the forefront with a cutting edge product coupled with a dynamic, growing company," Ms. Carter said.

American Access Technologies Responds to Negative Attack by Investor "Newsletter"
LAKE MARY, FL - October 23, 2001
Responding to a sell recommendation by an Internet investment site that "may and often does have positions that are consistent with its reports," American Access Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq Small Cap: AATK) today announced that no current officers or directors sold any shares of Company stock during the recent price spike.
Additionally, a former officer/director who exercised warrants applied a portion of the proceeds from the sale of stock to repayment of two promissory notes to the Company for a total of $200,000 principal and $26,866.80 interest.
A registration statement was filed in March 2001. Selling shareholders in such registration statement were the Company1s investment bankers and participants in a 1998 private placement. "We are here for the long haul, and we hope that our shareholders won1t be fooled by people interested in knocking our stock down," said John Presley, President of American Access.

American Access Technologies Notes Growing Number of Government Sub-Contracts
LAKE MARY, FL - October 9, 2001
The $185,500 government sub-contract pursuant to the manufacture of specialized alarms that detect chemical warfare for the U.S. government, announced October 8, 2001, is one of many government sub-contracts American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ Small Cap: AATK) has fulfilled over the years, the Company announced today.
Mathews Associates, Inc., serves as contractor for the 7,000 chemical warfare devices ordered by the government. American Access will manufacture the housing for the device, which is about twice the size of a military issue canteen. In 2000, the Company participated in the production of 6,000 alarms under a similar contract.
"We are one of fewer and fewer American manufacturers, and we believe this could be the reason that we have experienced steady growth in the work sub-contracted to us for all kinds of government projects," said President John Presley.
Presley noted that the Company recently fulfilled a rush order for the Pentagon, through Holocom Systems, Inc., when it manufactured a key component for 1,000 units used in a secured-access telecommunications network system.
"We are honored to do our part supplying the government with its needs. We believe that the public is beginning to acknowledge the value of our stock, in light of our manufacturing abilities coupled with increasing enthusiasm for our proprietary zone cabling cabinets."
Herb Hugo, of Mathews Associates, said in an interview last year that the specialized alarms are used by the U.S. Army to detect intrusion of chemical agents under battlefield conditions, and they have been and are being used around the world.

American Access Technologies Supplies Chemical Warfare Alarms to Government
LAKE MARY, FL - October 8, 2001
American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ Small Cap: AATK) has received a second order to manufacture specialized alarms that detect chemical warfare for the U.S. government, the Company announced today.
Mathews Associates, Inc., the contractor for the government job, awarded the sub-contract for 7,000 units to Omega Metals, a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Access. In 2000, the Company produced 6,000 alarms for the government.
Herb Hugo, of Mathews Associates, said the alarms are used by the U.S. Army to detect intrusion of chemical agents. "The U.S. Army disperses them throughout battlefield conditions, and they have been and are being used in any number of skirmishes around the world," Hugo said in an interview last year.

American Access Technologies Taps Long-Time Technology Consultant for New Advisory Board
LAKE MARY, FL - October 4, 2001
A technology consultant who became a proponent of the zone cabling concept before support products had been invented in an industry that favored another method of cabling has joined the American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ Small Cap: AATK) newly-created advisory board, the Company announced today.
Tom Swihart, RCDD, consultant to end users, officer furniture manufacturers and dealers, is also an electrical engineer. He is a regular presenter at BICSI conferences, and has for many years been conducting educational seminars on zone cabling for facility managers, architects and interior designers.
Swihart said his awareness of the potential savings and flexibility with zone cabling in high tech, high churn business environments dates back to mid-1994. "At that time, we could see the opportunity, but the right products to support the implementations did not exist. There was also a great deal of momentum from manufacturers, designers, standards bodies and contractors to stay with the "home-run" cables installed as part of structured wiring installations."
But much has changed over the past seven years, Swihart said. "The products such as those manufactured by American Access have helped fill the gap. Many major telecommunications manufacturers are now offering private-labeled American Access cabinets as part of their standard offerings. Designers are considering zone cabling as an option, and progressive contractors are encouraging customers to try zone cabling where appropriate. There is agreement among almost all of the IT professionals that we1ve talked to that have tried zone cabling - it works and makes sense. Finally, the organizations that write the telecommunications standards are now considering how to incorporate zone products and techniques into their standards."

Worldwide IT Consultant Joins American Access Technologies' Advisory Board
LAKE MARY, FL - October 2, 2001
A prominent IT consultant who foresaw the future when he earned a Computer Technology master's degree in 1975 has joined the American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ Small Cap: AATK) newly-created advisory board, the Company announced today.
Bard White, with more than 14 years experience in the international arena, is the president of the Whitecrest Group, Inc., IT management consultants. He is also a director for a worldwide IT consulting firm based in Springfield, Massachusetts. Since 1980, White has consulted for colleges and universities, as well as corporations, on topics such as management of computer resources, use of the Internet, sales force automation, new product introductions, and paperless technologies.
Recognizing in the 1970s that telecommunications would be an evolving industry as people sought better ways to disseminate information, White focused his life1s work on that evolution.
"Corporate business and educational facilities face constant pressure to reinvent themselves due to ever-changing economic, technical and consumer demands. One of the hindrances to employing a rapid change process is the lack of elasticity in telecommunications infrastructure," White said.
White said he is excited to join the American Access Advisory Board since the Company's products address the rapid changes needed in the marketplace.
"American Access designs, builds, and supports leading edge products that bring added flexibility to network environments at greatly reduced costs. The Company's zone cabling products eliminate one of the major stumbling blocks to providing quick, innovative network solutions to business and educational institutions alike," White said.
American Access President John Presley hailed White as a welcome member of the Advisory Board.
"Our aim from the start has been to recruit top-notch professionals who can assist us in all aspects of our business, and we are very pleased to be gaining Bard's acumen in this advisory capacity," Presley said.
White has also been featured in Computerworld, the Wall Street Journal, Information Week, CIO Magazine, the HP Journal, and PC World.
Advisory board members will assist American Access in evaluating joint ventures, pending and future private label agreements, and possible future acquisitions and mergers. Additionally, members may review public relations and marketing materials, make presentations, introduce the Company's zone cabling products to help establish a niche in the marketplace, suggest improvements to business procedures, and advise the Company on products, industry customs and trends.

American Access Technologies Responds to Holocom's Call: Pentagon Places Emergency Order for Communications Enclosures
LAKE MARY, FL - September 26, 2001
Responding to an emergency delivery request by the Pentagon to Holocom Networks, Inc., American Access Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq Small Cap: AATK) today announced that it has manufactured and shipped a key component for Holocom's Secured Desktop Gateway communications enclosures to be installed as part of the Pentagon's heightened security effort. The Pentagon contacted Holocom on Sunday, September 16th, with an emergency need for 1,000 of its proprietary communications enclosures to be installed at workstations connected to the country's high security networks, Holocom President G. Bradford Saunders said.
"American Access was incredibly responsive to our request to manufacture and ship this product within days. We depended on them for quality and timeliness, and they delivered," observed Saunders.
The emergency renovation program is being conducted in conjunction with the National Intelligence Security Agency, in an effort to safeguard the country and its government. Saunders said he expects Holocom products to factor into the ongoing Pentagon project that became more urgent by the September 11th tragedy.
"In consideration of the current situation, Holocom offered a significant reduction in the company's GSA pricing during the emergency renovation program. In the same spirit, American Access shared in this price reduction," Saunders noted.
"We were honored to have been chosen to help with the rebuilding after such an atrocious tragedy," American Access President John Presley said.
American Access manufactures patented zone cabling units that mount in ceilings, raised floors, and in custom furniture, routing traditional cabling and fiber optics to the office desktop. The Company's concept of "zone cabling'' reduces costs for installation and moves, adds, and changes by as much as 70% while providing plug and play, up-gradable networks, fiber optics and wireless LAN.
Holocom Networks, a private company, provides a wide variety of solutions for in-building communications infrastructure, including "zone cabling", that service Fortune 2000 companies and government agencies. Holocom Networks takes networking equipment, active and passive, which once was kept exclusively in the telecommunications closet, and brings it closer to end-users in open-office environments, substantially reducing installation and maintenance costs.

A newly-created advisory board made up of professionals in telecommunications and other strategically-related businesses will assist American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ Small Cap: AATK) with implementing its future growth plan, the company announced today.

American Access Technologies Zone Cabling Units Chosen For Canadian Telecom Network Training Lab
LAKE MARY, FL - September 5, 2001
The arm of the Quebec government-sanctioned organization charged with regulating the construction industry has included American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ Small Cap: AATK) zone cabling cabinets in its training program, the Company announced today.
"Since our training focuses on market trends and the latest technology, we believe American Access' products should be part of our curriculum. I just really like the product. I haven't seen anything else that competes," said Denis Leduc, special advisor to the Fraternite Inter-Provinciale des Ouvriers en Electricite, (FIPOE) a brotherhood of inter-province electrical workers.
FIPOE, along with employers and the Quebec government, comprise the Construction Commission of Quebec. The CCQ, which trains construction workers, generates competency cards and administers benefits to workers, has identified a new trade, Network Cabling Specialist, and CCQ will conduct the training of these professionals incorporating American Access zone cabling cabinets, Leduc said.
Leduc, who wrote the course specs and designed the special training lab, said FIPOE has also partnered with Building Industry Consulting Services International, (BICSI), the definitive authority that implements and teaches structured cabling standards and specifications throughout the world. BICSI is supplying the reference material that will be translated into French for the CCQ course. BICSI will also use the translated material to access French-speaking countries for its own programs.
"Zone cabling is done in the industry, and we want to increase it being done the proper way," Leduc said. "I am dedicated to this project."

American Access Technologies Joins TIA Standards Committee
LAKE MARY, FL - August 28, 2001
Growing awareness and acceptance of zone cabling used in telecommunications network systems has resulted in American Access Technologies being invited to join the industry standards committee, the Company reported today.
"We were encouraged to join TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association) during a recent BICSI trade show in which many, many manufacturers, contractors and architects stopped by to check out our new wireless zone cabling unit," Vice President Wil Boyd said.
Boyd will represent American Access as a voting member of TIA, sitting on the TR-42 Committee for User Premises Telecommunications Infrastructure, and on several subcommittees that set standards for telecom cabling in commercial buildings.
President John Presley, also in attendance at the BICSI event, is enthused by the interest zone cabling is generating. "We are seeing esteemed telecom industry leaders embrace this concept, as evidenced not only by our growing number of private label agreements, but by one of the feature presentations at BICSI, in which an independent study confirmed our belief: Open office architecture is extremely reliable and very cost efficient."
Hosting several conferences each year, BICSI, Building Industry Consulting Services International, is the definitive authority that implements and teaches standards and specifications enacted by TIA for structured cabling throughout the world.

Judge Dismisses Shareholder Lawsuit Against American Access Technologies, Denies Motion to Reopen Case
Company Posts Second Quarter Earnings Report
LAKE MARY, FL - August 13, 2001
A federal judge dismissed a shareholders' lawsuit against American Access Technologies, Inc., which was filed after a decline in the market price of the Company's stock in 1999, and denied the plaintiffs' motion to reopen the case, the Company announced today.
"Our position all along had been to vigorously defend ourselves against the accusations because they were factually untrue, so we are very gratified by the judge's ruling to dismiss this case, and to deny the motion to reopen it, saving us all the time and money to fight a protracted legal battle," said American Access President John Presley.
United States District Judge Patricia Fawsett dismissed the case June 4, 2001 for failure to comply with Orders of the Court to show cause. Plaintiffs failed to file certain documents required by the court, and then failed to respond to the court's order to show cause why the action should not be dismissed after the initial documents were not filed. Plaintiffs had until June 21, 2001 to file a motion for the judge to reconsider or grant relief from her ruling and until July 5, 2001 to appeal the order. The plaintiffs on July 3 filed a motion to reopen the case, but on August 2, 2001 Judge Fawsett denied the motion, writing in her opinion that the "Plaintiffs have failed to show that they are entitled to relief from judgment under Rule 60(b); therefore, their motion is denied, and this case will remain closed."
Under Rule 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a party may be relieved from a final judgment, order, or proceeding if the moving party can show mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect, or any other reason justifying relief from the operation of the judgment.
Originally filed in September 1999 in the Eastern District of New York, the case was amended in 2000, and never attained the class status plaintiffs sought.
American Access subsequently filed a motion to dismiss for improper venue or alternately to transfer the venue to the federal court's Middle District in Orlando, FL. The New York judge granted the transfer earlier this year, which necessitated that both parties file certain documents to continue the proceedings. Plaintiffs' failure to file resulted in the dismissal and subsequent denial of their motion to reopen the case.
In other business, American Access released its third quarter earnings today, posting revenues of $1,025,885 for the quarter, compared to $1,387,008 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, a decrease of 26 percent. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were $2,174,124 compared to $2,897,424 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, a decrease of 24.9 percent.
"Some industry observers have predicted that the economic downturn we have experienced will last until into early 2002. In light of that, we believe our drop in revenues can be considered favorable considering the losses recently reported by many other companies in the telecommunications sector," Presley said.
The Company also reported a $429,159 loss from operations for the quarter, compared to $351,207 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, and a $675,315 loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to a $466,252 loss for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
The Company continued to cut expenses to offset the decline in revenue. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $344,026 to $729,521 for the three months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $1,073, 547 for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were $1,539,171 compared to $1,942,854 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
"We will continue to keep a tight rein on our costs as we weather the economic storm that has hit the telecommunications and manufacturing sectors," Presley said.

LAKE MARY, FL - July 2, 2001
Telecommunications equipment manufacturer American Access Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ Small Cap: AATK), announced today that it has terminated an agreement to merge with electronic cable assembly manufacturer DataWorld Solutions Inc. (OTCBB: DWLD).
"Due to material adverse changes in DataWorld's business and operations since signing the agreement, which were documented in DataWorld1s press release dated June 28, 2001, we believe it is in the best interest of our shareholders to terminate the agreement at this time. We left the door open to revisit a possible business combination in the future, but today we made the decision to go forward on our own," said American Access President John Presley said.

American Access Technologies Pares Selling Costs, Reduces Net Loss
LAKE MARY, FL - May 14, 2001
Growing Acceptance of Zone Cabling Noted
American Access Technologies, Inc., (NASDAQ Small Cap: AATK), today announced it has pared its net loss by $53,842 in the first quarter of 2001, as compared to the first quarter of 2000. The Company's net loss at March 31, 2001 was $240,884, compared to a $294,726 net loss at March 31, 2000.
"The curtain fell on our production and sales late in the fourth quarter, just as it fell on the economy," said American Access President John Presley. "We cut costs and expenses to conserve our cash for a rainy day, and by maintaining an austerity program, we are weathering the storm till the sun comes out."
The Company's combined sales for formed metal and zone cabling cabinets was $1,148,239 for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, compared to $1,510,416 for the same quarter in 2000. The decrease in revenue is attributed to a lackluster economy and to the Company1s decision in mid 2000 to phase out manufacturing its Genco generator covers.
The basic net loss per common share was (0.05) for the quarter ending March 31, 2001, compared to (0.07) for the quarter ending March 31, 2000.
Presley said that the Company will continue its campaign to scrutinize all spending and makes cuts when necessary, while focusing on increasing sales. He tied increasing sales to increasing acceptance of zone or open-office cabling. Citing the May issue of Cabling Installation & Maintenance, Presley explained that the top trade magazine devoted its cover story and others to cabling strategies, including a comprehensive article featuring American Access Vice President Wil Boyd's comments. Additionally, a major telecommunications service company espouses open office in an article about under-floor cabling.
"Advances in zone cabling have recently prompted the Telecommunications Industry Association to update its specifications and standards, to be published later in the year. We have been on the cutting edge of this technology, and we only needed to wait to be recognized. That is happening now," Presley said.

"The double benefit to these machines is being able to keep jobs requiring this equipment in-house, and being able to bid on jobs we couldn't do before we had the equipment. Right now, both machines are fully booked and in production," Presley said.
American Access' March newsletter is currently posted on the company's website at www.aatk.com. Pictures of the two new machines will be added to the website by the end of the week.

American Access Technologies, Inc. Posts Record Zone Cabling Sales in December

LAKE MARY, FL - Jan. 3, 2001
Expenditures to be Slashed With an Eye On Profit in 2001
Energized by record December sales of its proprietary zone cabling cabinets, American Access Technologies, Inc., (Nasdaq:ATK - news), today reaffirmed its strategy to concentrate on profits while paring expenditures in 2001.
"Our loyal shareholders have weathered some stormy seas, including a volatile stock market and our posted losses in 2000. I am determined to make that journey worthwhile by building as much value as I can into American Access. I believe our rapidly growing sales for zone cabling units show the tide is turning in those stormy seas," said American Access President John Presley.
In December 2000, unaudited net sales for the company's zone cabling cabinets totaled $228,000, compared to $106,000 in October and $141,000 in November. The December sales are record for monthly sales in fiscal year 2000.
Presley said the Company's continuing philosophy is to scrutinize all spending with an eye to the bottom line while pushing sales beyond recent totals. The company's first move this week was to divert any additional funding of its e-commerce site to support the more profitable channel distribution, through which record sales were logged in December. "Consistent with my 2001 plans, we are through building for now and we will concentrate on profits. Every expense, relationship, merger, acquisition, capital expense and travel expense will continue to be examined with my cold 40-year expertise on the bottom line. Anything we don't make a profit on will be mercilessly chopped. The e-commerce site may eventually prove profitable, or it may be sold if the opportunity presents itself. Right now, it's still accessible, but we won't be putting any more money into further development," Presley said.
American Access manufactures patented zone cabling units that mount in ceilings, raised floors, and in custom furniture, routing traditional cabling and fiber optics to the office desktop. The Company's concept of "zone cabling" reduces costs for installation and moves, adds, and changes by as much as 70% while providing plug and play, up-gradable networks, fiber optics and wireless LAN.
