1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements of American Electric Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“AETI”, “the Company”, “our”, “we”, “us”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and include all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and results of operations for the three months ending March 31, 2015 and 2014. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which was filed on March 30, 2015. Because of the sale of the American Access Technologies, Inc. (“AAT”) segment’s operations which was completed on August 15, 2014, (except for its real estate) its remaining assets are presented as “held for sale” and its operations are reported as discontinued operations. All dollar amounts disclosed in the footnotes are stated in thousands.
