FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">HOUSTON, March&nbsp;26, 2008 &#150; American Electric Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AETI), the premium supplier of custom-designed power distribution and control solutions for the traditional and alternative energy
industries, announced the following results for the year and quarter ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. The reported sales and earnings includes the contribution from our merger partner American Access Technologies, Inc. for the period May&nbsp;15, 2007
(date of merger) to December&nbsp;31, 2007 only. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Total sales for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007 were $55.7 million, an increase of 22.6% over the
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006. Total sales for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $16.5 million, a 49.1% increase over the fourth quarter of 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The
company reported net income of $0.6 million or basic and diluted EPS of $0.08 for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007 compared with net income of $2.4 million, or basic and diluted EPS of $0.40 for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006. The net
loss for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $1.1 million, or basic and diluted EPS of ($0.15), compared with net income of $0.6 million or basic and diluted EPS of $0.10, in the fourth quarter of 2006. This loss primarily resulted from a $2 million
commercial construction project loss previously announced on December&nbsp;17, 2007 and discussed further in this release. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;2007 was a particularly
challenging period for the company, as we not only completed our merger with American Access Technologies to form American Electric Technologies, but we also continued to pursue other growth opportunities at the same time&#148;, said Arthur Dauber,
chairman, president and chief executive officer, American Electric Technologies. &#147;The success we achieved last year is demonstrated by our impressive sales growth and record backlog heading into 2008. In addition, we have increased the depth of
our management team and enhanced our organizational structure to further position the company for growth. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;We capitalized on and invested in the
international demand for energy, particularly in China&#146;s fast growing market. The 2006 investment in our Chinese joint venture (BOMAY) has been a success to date, setting the foundation for our future growth prospects. For 2007, our Chinese JV
reported sales of $49 million that are not consolidated in our financial results. We did add equity income of $1.4 million to our 2007 bottom line which represents the income generated from our 40 percent ownership in BOMAY. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;In 2007, we made significant changes for future growth, including becoming a publicly-traded company through the merger with American Access, the transition,
development and addition of management, expanding business development via new markets and products, new international joint business ventures and upgrading and installing new information systems. However, these growth projects had a challenging
impact on our 2007 operating margins. The entry into the commercial construction business, the introduction of new high technology drive products as well as the integration of new people and a new organizational structure to support our future
growth impacted our net income in 2007. We believe that each of these factors have been addressed and that the negative cost impacts should not recur. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">&#147;Heading into 2008, solid execution of our business plan will be the key to our success. We are pleased with the substantial progress that we have made to successfully integrate the two companies after our merger and are excited about
our domestic and international growth prospects. We look forward to a promising 2008, as we are well-positioned across our business </FONT>

sales in 2008 excluding any revenue that may come from potential acquisitions. We also expect our &#145;earnings before taxes&#146; to return to the 2005-2006 levels of 5 to 8 percent of revenue by mid-year 2008. I am confident that our team will

reflected a reduction in activity during the latter part of 2007. Our TP&amp;S segment operating margin was adversely affected, by approximately $1.6 million in additional costs associated with start-up costs for two new drive product offerings:

backlog should be realized in 2008. Approximately $6 million of the TP&amp;S segment sales during 2006 were derived from sales to China. In 2007, this activity was captured through our new Chinese joint venture thus accounting for this year&#146;s
decline in sales in this segment. Our joint venture equity income from both the China and Singapore ventures, noted below, are included in our TP&amp;S segment for segment reporting purposes and as &#145;other income&#146; for financial reporting

we recorded equity income of $1.4 million which represents our 40 percent ownership in BOMAY as &#145;other income.&#146; BOMAY reported sales of $49 million in 2007 that are not consolidated in our results. At its February 2008 Board of Directors

proceeds of over $1.2 million and recognized realized gains of approximately $1.1 million from the sale of marketable securities of Oakwell Engineering, Ltd. for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. Due to the final sale of all of these marketable
securities held by the company in 2007, this should be viewed as a non-recurring gain during the current period. In addition, we received a $0.3 million dividend from our Singapore joint venture in 2007. </FONT></P> <P

water/wastewater and commercial markets. In 2007, we generated sales of $20.3 million from our E&amp;I Construction operations, an increase of 54 percent, over 2006. The increase was primarily due to growth in the commercial market in 2007. However,
the income generated came in lower due to higher costs than anticipated. This was due to several factors, the most significant of which were cost overruns at three commercial construction projects that aggregated $2.0 million in the fourth quarter
due to poor project management. The management personnel associated with these projects have been replaced, and the three contracts were substantially completed as of December&nbsp;31, 2007. We believe these management changes will prevent
recurrence of this problem. The backlog for the E&amp;I Construction segment was a record $18.7 million as of December&nbsp;31, 2007, an increase of 60 percent over the previous year. Approximately 75 percent of this backlog should be realized over
the next year. </FONT></P></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="font-size:6px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>
