Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2022 Filed March 9, 2023 File No. 001-40364 This letter sets forth the response of Stabilis Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) to the comment letter dated September 21, 2023 received from the Division of Corporate Finance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") with respect to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (File No. 001-40364), filed with the Commission on March 9, 2023 (the "Form 10-K"). Comment 1: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Recent Developments, page 29 We note your disclosure explaining that in the third quarter of 2022, you received authorization from the Department of Energy to export up to 51.75 billion cubic feet of domestically produced LNG per year to all free trade and non-free trade countries, including Asian, European, and Latin American importing nations, although you did not make any exports under this approval during the 2022 fiscal year. Please expand your disclosure to clarify the relevance of the authorization to your business plans and address the guidance in Item 303(a) and (b)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K, which require that you focus specifically on material events and uncertainties that are reasonably likely to cause reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results, matters that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on future operations, and trends or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on net sales or income from continuing operations. For example, discuss any plans you have adopted to export LNG to countries covered by the authorization, timeframes for commencement of sales, volumes expected to be sold, the specific markets or regions involved, initiatives or steps you have undertaken or that will be required to expand your logistical capabilities, and the extent of any sales commitments you had entered into as of the end of the period covered by the report. Response: At the time of the Form 10-K filing, the Company was still in the initial stages of exploring its entry into the export market under the DOE authorization and had not entered into any sales commitments nor identified a timeframe for commencement of exportation of LNG under the authorization. Furthermore, the Company had not expended material funds on this project. Accordingly, the Company believed that it had no reasonable basis on which to forecast when exports under the authorization would occur and the economics of eventual exportation of LNG under the authorization. The Company acknowledges its disclosure obligations under Item 303(a) and (b)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K and will make appropriate disclosures related to activities under the export authorization in future filings when appropriate. Comment 2: Results of Operations Revenue, page 31 We note your discussion and analysis pertaining to the increase in revenues and the increase in cost of revenues consist of four bullet points attributing the change to the sale of higher volumes, higher prices/inflationary pressures, and additional projects, although the extent of the change attributable to these various factors remains unclear. Please expand your disclosure to address the guidance in Item 303(b) and (b)(2)(iii) of Regulation S-K, which require that you indicate the extent to which material changes in net sales are attributable to changes in prices or to changes in the volumes or amounts of goods or services being sold, or to the introduction of new products or services. Please also quantify the volumes associated with each source of revenue identified on page 28 in a tabulation with comparative sales and volumetric details for each revenue source. Please differentiate between sales of production, sales of purchased LNG, delivery service fees, and the various other service revenues. Please submit the revisions that you propose to address these concerns. Response: The Company acknowledges the Commission’s comment and proposes to include changes in LNG gallons delivered and revenues by source in tabular presentation and to quantify the extent of the changes attributable to the related factors in bullet presentation within Results of Operations for all periods presented. The distinction between produced and third-party volumes is not a significant driver of the Company’s operating results as the revenue and margin profiles are similar. Additionally, the Company does not charge individual delivery service fees for LNG Product because LNG must be transported in specialized cryogenic tankers and the personnel loading and unloading LNG have special safety training and procedures. Accordingly, loading, transportation and unloading is included in our LNG pricing per gallon. Other service revenues are not material (less than 2% of 2022 revenues) and Stabilis does not believe additional disclosures are required for these revenues. The Company respectfully requests to include the proposed expanded disclosure in future filings beginning with Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 in substantially the same format as detailed below. Proposed Future Tabular Presentation Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 Change % Change Revenues: LNG Product $ 83,095 $ 55,699 $ 27,396 49.2 % Increase/(decrease) in gallons delivered 4,324 Rental 13,102 10,651 2,451 23.0 Service 1,943 1,287 656 51.0 Other 683 1,534 (851 ) (55.5 ) Total revenue $ 98,823 $ 69,171 $ 29,652 42.9 % Proposed Future Narrative Presentation and Disclosure for Revenue and Operating Expenses Revenue During the Current Year revenues increased $29.7 million, or 43%, compared to the Prior Year. The increase in revenues primarily related to: ● Increased natural gas prices during the Current Year compared to the Prior Year resulting in increased revenues of $15.8 million; ● Increased LNG delivered to customers of 4.3 million gallons in the Current Year compared to the Prior Year resulting in increased revenues of $4.1 million; ● Increased pricing charged to our customers in response to cost increases from inflationary pressures resulting in increased revenues of $5.9 million; ● Increased revenues from minimum purchase take or pay contracts of $1.6 million; and ● Increases in rental, service, and other revenue related to additional projects (primarily for marine bunkering) with equipment and higher labor revenues resulting in increased revenues of $2.3 million. Operating Expenses Costs of revenues. Cost of revenues increased $22.5 million, or 41%, in the Current Year compared to the Prior Year. The increase in cost of revenues was attributable to: ● Increased natural gas prices during the Current Year compared to the Prior Year resulting in increased costs of revenues of $14.0 million; ● Increased LNG delivered to customers of 4.3 million gallons during the Current Year compared to the Prior Year resulting in increased costs of revenues of $3.5 million; 2 ● Inflationary pressures, including increased transportation costs and increased liquefaction costs, personnel, electricity and other higher costs resulting in increased costs of revenues of $1.7 million; ● Increased costs of revenues from minimum purchase take or pay contracts of $0.9 million; and ● Increased costs of rental, service, and other revenue of $2.4 million primarily related to increased labor and equipment rentals to support the increase of additional projects (primarily for marine bunkering). The Company believes the proposed presentation meets the criteria of Item 303(b) and (b)(2)(iii) of Regulation S-K. As the only publicly traded, small-scale LNG company in North America, additional disclosures of the Company’s volumes, pricing, and commodity costs in more detail than proposed would put the Company at a competitive disadvantage to its privately held peers as this information would be used to determine the Company’s pricing strategy and margins. Comment 3 Financial Statements Note 3 – Revenue Recognition Disaggregated Revenues, page 54 We note the revenue categories identified in your table of disaggregated revenues on page 54 (i.e. LNG Product, Rental, Service, Other) differ somewhat from the sources described on page 28, (i.e. LNG Production and Sales, Transportation and Logistics Services, Cryogenic Equipment Rental, Engineering and Field Support Services). Tell us how these various revenues sources compare and reconcile to one another and explain how any differences were considered in preparing disclosures that you believe would be responsive to the requirements in FASB ASC 606-10-50. Please differentiate between sales of production, sales of purchased LNG, and the various services being provided, and submit any revisions that you propose to more clearly identify categories of revenue that depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors, as required by FASB ASC 606-10-50-5, and reflective of the varying terms of your contractual arrangements and consistent with FASB ASC 606-10-55-89 through 55-91. Response: The Company acknowledges the Commission’s comment and is providing the following commentary to reconcile the various amounts and explain how the differences were considered in preparing the disclosures required in FASB ASC 606-10-50. The descriptions of the activities that Stabilis performs to generate revenues on page 28 of the Form 10-K are the same descriptions used on page 4, which describe the Company’s activities through the eyes of management. The descriptions on pages 4 and 28 of the Form 10-K were intentionally written to describe the technical details of the products and services provided and not necessarily how Topic 606 categorizes and recognizes revenue. However, the Company believes the categories of disaggregated revenue required under Topic 606 as disclosed on page 54 of the Form 10-K are compatible with the descriptions on page 28 in that: ● “LNG Production and Sales” and “Transportation and Logistics Services” are disclosed as “LNG Product revenues” which represent revenues from the sale and delivery of LNG to our customers. ● “Cryogenic Equipment Rental” is disclosed as “Rental revenues” ● “Engineering and Field Support Services” is disclosed as “Service revenues” ● There was no description of "Other revenues” on page 4 or page 28 of the Form 10-K as this amount of revenue is not material to the Company’s operations. The Company does not differentiate between the revenue from the sale of LNG production and purchased LNG as the Company does not believe that this distinction is a significant factor in determining the financial results of the Company and the criteria for revenue recognition are identical. LNG is a commodity and LNG is interchangeable and often substituted based on a variety of factors including current demand on our LNG production facility, plant maintenance, third-party LNG availability and distance to the customer from our LNG production facilities. While we believe that our descriptions and disaggregation of revenues are consistent with other disclosures within the Form 10-K and meet the requirements of Topic 606-10-50, the Company respectfully requests to include the expanded disclosure substantially in the same format in future filings beginning with Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 as detailed below. REVENUE RECOGNITION We recognize revenues when the transfer of goods or services are delivered to our customers in accordance with the applicable customer contract and we are entitled to be paid by the customer. Revenues are measured as consideration specified in the contract and exclude any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Amounts are billed upon completion of service or transfer of a product and are generally due within 30 days. Revenues from contracts with customers are disaggregated into (1) LNG product revenues, (2), Rental revenues, (3) Service, and (4) Other. 3 LNG Product LNG Product revenues represent the sale of LNG from both produced and purchased sources as well as the transportation performed to deliver the LNG to our customer location. LNG Product revenues are recognized upon delivery of the LNG to the customer, at which point the customer controls the product and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. The Company acts as a principal when using third party transportation companies and therefore recognizes the gross revenue for the supply of LNG. The Company does not differentiate between the revenue from the sale of LNG production and purchased LNG as the criteria for revenue recognition are identical. Certain of our sales contracts contain provisions that may meet the criteria of a derivative in the event delivery is not made. These contracts are accounted for under the normal purchase normal sales exclusion under U.S. GAAP and are not measured at fair value each reporting period. Rental Rental revenues are generated from the rental of cryogenic equipment to our customers. Rental revenues are not dependent upon the gallons delivered but based upon dayrates or monthly rates for the use of equipment as specifically established within the contract and are disaggregated from LNG Product revenues. Revenues related to rental of equipment are recognized under Topic 606 and not ASC 842: Leases, as the Company maintains control of the equipment that the customer uses and can replace the rented equipment with similar equipment should the rented equipment become inoperable or the Company chooses to replace the equipment for maintenance purposes. Revenue is recognized as the rental period is completed and for periods that cross month end, revenue is recognized for the portion of the rental period that has been completed to date. Payment terms for rental contracts are generally within thirty days from the receipt of the invoice. Performance obligations for rental revenue are considered to be satisfied as the rental period is completed based upon the terms of the related contract. The stated rental rates within each contract are representative of the stand-alone rental rates at the time the contract was negotiated. Service Service revenues are generated from engineering and field support services and represent the human resources provided to the customer to support the use of LNG at the customer’s job site. These include support and costs for mobilization and demobilization of equipment at customer sites as well as onsite technical support while customers are consuming LNG. Service revenues are not dependent upon the gallons delivered or rental period but based upon the specific contractual terms and can be based on an event (i.e. mobilization or demobilization) or an hourly rate as specifically established within the contract and are disaggregated from LNG Product revenues and Rental revenues. Service revenue is recognized as the event is completed or work is done. The stated hourly labor rates in each contract are representative of the stand-alone hourly rates at the time the contract was negotiated. Other Other revenues are items that, due to their nature, are disaggregated from th

Washington, DC 20549 Attention: Yong Kim, Staff Accountant Andrew Blume, Staff Accountant Re: Stabilis Energy, Inc. Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed September 11, 2019 File No. 333-233704 Ladies and Gentlemen: We are submitting this letter on behalf of Stabilis Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) in response to comments from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) received by electronic mail dated October 8, 2019 relating to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-233704) filed with the Commission on September 11, 2019 (the “Registration Statement”). The Company has revised Amendment No. 1 in response to the Staff’s comments in its letter dated October 8, 2019 relating to the Registration Statement (the “Comment Letter”) and to otherwise update its disclosure and is being filed concurrently herewith. The numbered paragraphs below correspond to the numbered comments in the Staff’s letter and the Staff’s comments are presented in bold italics. In addition to addressing the comments raised by the Staff in its letter, the Company has filed the Registration Statement to update other disclosures. For convenience, we will deliver three full copies of Amendment No. 1, as well as three copies of Amendment No. 1 marked to show all changes made since the initial submission of the Registration Statement. Index to Financial Statements Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (2) Revenue Recognition, page F-12 1. Please address the following comments related to your revenue recognition accounting policies: • We note your disclosure at the bottom of page 56 that you have contracts with multiple trucking companies that deliver LNG to customers. Tell us and disclose whether you record revenues associated with third party deliveries gross as a principal or net as an agent. Explain how you considered the guidance in ASC 606-10-55-37 through 39 in arriving at your determination. Also tell us how, if at all, your accounting policy changes for LNG produced at your liquefaction plant versus LNG purchased from third parties. • We note that you reference “performance obligations” associated with your rental revenues. Tell us if your rental activities are within the scope of ASC 606 or ASC 840/842. If your rental activities are not within the lease accounting scope, explain in sufficient detail how you arrived at such conclusion. See ASC 840-10-15 and 842-10-15. Securities and Exchange Commission Re: Stabilis Energy, Inc. October 21, 2019 Page 2 Response: The Company advises the staff that it utilized ASC 606-10-55-37 to determine that the Company is acting as a principal when using third party haulers to deliver LNG to the Company’s customers. When an entity that is a principal satisfies a performance obligation, the entity recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services transferred. The Company is in control of purchasing LNG (when not sourcing from its own liquefaction plant), scheduling the delivery, and has the contractual obligation to fulfill the customer’s order. Stabilis makes the determination to use its own fleet or contract with a third party to deliver LNG. At any point in the transport, Stabilis could notify the third-party hauler to re-route the product or return it to Stabilis. Additionally, Stabilis is obligated to pay the third-party hauler based on its contract with the hauler which is independent of the contract with the customer. ASC 606-10-55-39 indicators that an entity controls the specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer (and is therefore a principal) have been assessed as follows. Below are some, but not all ASC 606-10-55-39 indicators that the Company assessed based on its Master Service Agreements (“MSA”) and work orders. Indicator Responsible Party Management Analysis (a)Primarily responsible for contract fulfillment Stabilis Stabilis is contractually obligated to deliver LNG (i.e. The Company maintains backup supply sources and transportation companies) and our price typically includes delivery to the customer site. Additionally, the Company provides field technicians as needed to ensure that the LNG is being offloaded safely, equipment has been properly setup and directs the 3rd party hauler. (b)Inventory Risk Stabilis Stabilis LNG inventory is produced at our plant and purchased from 3rd party suppliers to meet the demand of its customers. The Company stores inventory at its liquefaction plant and at various storage locations. In the event the customer cannot take the product, the Company has the risk of inventory for the LNG. (c)Pricing Stabilis Stabilis negotiates and sets pricing with the customers. (d)Credit Risk Stabilis Stabilis is responsible for payment to our 3rd party LNG suppliers and takes the risk of the cost of product and transportation in the event Stabilis is not paid by its customers. Based on the indicators in ASC 606-10-55, Stabilis records gross revenue as the principal for both LNG produced and LNG purchased from third party LNG providers. Rental Revenues: The Company’s rental agreements with customers do not identify specific pieces of equipment and instead only identify general equipment types needed by the customer and thus do not satisfy the requirements in ASC 842-10-15-9 to be considered a lease. As discussed in ASC 842-10-15-10, the Company determined that the customer does not have a substantive right of use as the Company has substitution rights on the equipment provided and retains the rights to substitute the equipment if it economically benefits the Company. We have the ability to substitute alternative assets throughout the period of use (i.e., the customer cannot prevent the Company from substituting an asset), and alternative assets are readily available and could be sourced within a reasonable period of time. Securities and Exchange Commission Re: Stabilis Energy, Inc. October 21, 2019 Page 3 In addition, no circumstances exist at the inception of the Company’s MSAs, including those listed at ASC 842-10-15-11, that would erode the substitution rights of the Company. Based on the preceding analysis, we concluded these rented assets are not included in the scope of ASC 842 and fall under the guidance of other GAAP including ASC 606. The Company has revised its disclosures on pages 47, F-12, F-31 to clarify its revenue recognition policies. (3) Step Acquisition of Equity Interests, page F-13 2. We note the $13.9 million bargain purchase gain recorded for the step acquisition of Stabilis LNG Eagle Ford, LLC (“LNG EF”) and Stabilis FHR Oilfield LNG, LLC (“FHR”) in 2017. Please confirm that this gain was recognized as a result of applying ASC 805-10-25-9 and 10 or, alternatively, tell us the authoritative GAAP guidance you followed. We also note that you revalued your retained 50% investment in LNG EF at $17.9 million as of the acquisition date. Considering you acquired the remaining 50% interest for $4 million, explain to us in sufficient detail how you determined the $17.9 million fair value, clarify why you believe that valuation is reasonable, and reconcile for us the significant valuation difference between the retained and newly acquired 50% interests. Response: The Company advises the Staff that it applied ASC 805-10-25-9 and 10 to account for the step acquisition of Stabilis LNG Eagle Ford, LLC (“LNG EF”) and Stabilis FHR Oilfield LNG, LLC (“FHR”). Immediately following the acquisition date of our partner’s 50% interest in LNG EF and FHR on May 19, 2017, a fair value assessment of all assets and liabilities was conducted. We engaged an independent valuation firm to assist us in the valuation of the primary assets acquired and constructed which indicated that the fair value of the LNG EF and FHR assets was significantly greater than the purchase price indicated. After reassessing the assets and liabilities we concluded that recording a bargain purchase gain was appropriate and required under ASC 805-30-25-2 and the assets were recorded on our consolidated financial statements using their net book value which we believe was the best estimate of fair value. In assessing the appropriate value of the assets, we also considered that the original cost of the joint ventures’ fixed assets was approximately $60 million and the assets were maintained in good condition and there was a relatively short-time period between the acquisition and construction of the key assets and the transaction to acquire 100% ownership, with the majority of the assets being acquired or constructed since 2014. We also determined that replacement cost of the fixed assets would likely be approximately $60 million. The assets included a highly desirable, operational small-scale LNG liquefaction facility and rolling stock commonly utilized in our industry. Replacement cost for the assets less JV liabilities was approximately $45 million. The seller of LNG EF and FHR was a multi-billion dollar natural resources company that made the strategic decision to exit the LNG EF and FHR partnership (that was formed in 2013), its only investment in small-scale LNG businesses, to focus on its core business. The seller was motivated to exit the investment promptly, without entering into a protracted sales process, before LNG EF’s additional debt payments became due in August of 2017. In our opinion, the structure of the seller’s investment in LNG EF and FHR, specifically that neither party had a controlling interest in the investment, made it difficult for the seller to identify a buyer that could transact quickly. Due to our existing investment in and operational management of LNG EF and FHR, we were able to complete the acquisition of our partner’s 50 percent interest quickly, with no additional due diligence and without any financial contingencies. This combination of circumstances led to us acquiring these assets at a substantial discount to fair market value. Based on the preceding analysis, we determined that the $4 million consideration paid was not indicative of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. Securities and Exchange Commission Re: Stabilis Energy, Inc. October 21, 2019 Page 4 (4) Acquisition of PEG Partners, LLC, page F-14 3. You disclose that you accounted for the acquisition of PEG Partners, LLC (“PEG”) as a combination of entities under common control and consolidated all assets and liabilities assumed at historical costs as of the acquisition date.” However, you also present a purchase price allocation with estimated fair values and disclose that the bargain purchase gain “represents the difference between the fair value of the net assets acquired over the cash paid.” Please tell us your basis in GAAP for performing a fair value assessment related to this common control transaction and for recording a bargain purchase gain. Please be specific when citing the authoritative guidance you relied on for your accounting. Response: The Company advises the Staff that on February 28, 2017, the Company’s majority member, JCH, entered into a limited liability company agreement to form PEG, a newly created entity controlled by JCH, for the purpose of acquiring and holding 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Prometheus Energy Group, Inc. (“Prometheus”) from a foreign private equity fund and to be party to, and act as a lessee under the master lease agreement for equipment used in its operations. Contemporaneously, PEG acquired control of Prometheus for one hundred dollars and assumption of Prometheus’ liabilities of approximately $12.5 million. PEG was deemed the accounting acquirer of Prometheus after consideration of ASC 805-10-55-15. As of February 28, 2017, PEG recorded a bargain purchase gain of $13.1 million related to its acquisition, which represents the difference between the fair values of the new assets acquired over the cash paid. The prior controlling interest holder was a foreign private equity fund in the final stages of liquidating its investments in the United States oil and gas markets, resulting in a bargain purchase gain. As of March 1, 2018, JCH assigned its membership interest in PEG to the Company. The Company accounted for this assignment of its PEG interests as a combination of entities under common control pursuant to ASC 805-50-05-5 and ASC 250-10-45-21, due to a change in the reporting entity, and consolidated all assets and liabilities of PEG at historical costs. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to March 1, 2018, were retrospectively recast, including PEG’s results of operations beginning with its bargain purchase, to reflect the Prometheus acquisition as if it had occurred on February 28, 2017, the date that PEG acquired control of Prometheus. The Company has revised its disclosures on pages 38, F-7, F-8, F-14, F-20, F-28 and F-35 to clarify the acquisition of PEG Partners, LLC. General 4. You disclose that you effectuated a 1:8 reverse stock split of your outstanding common stock during the third quarter of fiscal 2019.

For example, you disclose on page 2 that 105,558,606 shares were issued but disclose on page 76 that 13,194,925 shares were issued. Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the related disclosures on pages 2, 36, 75, F-29, F-44, F-45, F-46 and II-3 on Amendment no. 1.

Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 Filed March 28, 2013 File No. 000-24575 Dear Mr. Cascio: This letter sets forth the response of American Electric Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) to the comment letter, dated November 7, 2013, of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) relating to the Company’s response to the Staff’s initial comment letter dated October 18, 2013 concerning to the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. To facilitate your review, each of the Staff’s comments, followed by the Company’s response, are set forth below. Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2012 Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Foreign Joint Ventures, page 15 1. We note your response to our prior comment 2 but it continues to be unclear to us how you considered providing separate full equity method investee financial statements for BOMAY given that income from that investment was material to the company’s results and therefore would likely be material to an investor’s understanding of the underlying reasons for the company’s results. Please further explain to us why you do not believe that separate financial statements of BOMAY would be meaningful to an investor’s understanding of your operating results. Response 1. As set forth in response to comment 2 below, Registrant will be providing in future filings a more robust discussion and analysis of the operating results of each of our significant foreign joint ventures. At this time, Registrant believes only BOMAY should be considered a significant foreign joint venture. Registrant believes that such additional disclosure, along with the disclosure it will make in accordance with the requirements of Regulation S-X, will provide investors with more useful and meaningful information of the underlying reasons for the Registrant’s financial results than would be provided by full financial statements for its equity method investees. It has been a long-standing policy of the Commission to reduce and simplify certain disclosure requirements for smaller companies, such as the Registrant, including the scaled financial statement accommodations available for smaller companies. Registrant respectfully requests the Staff to respect the Commission’s determination that the Registrant, as a smaller reporting company, is not required to provide separate full equity method investee financial statements. 2. In future filings, given the significant contribution of the foreign joint ventures—especially BOMAY—to your results, please provide a robust discussion of the operating results of each of your significant foreign joint ventures in each period. For example, explain the underlying reasons for the significant increase in BOMAY’s gross sales, gross profit and net income in fiscal 2012 compared to the prior year. Response 2. The Company will include a more robust discussion of the operating results of BOMAY and any other foreign joint ventures in its future filings, if they become significant, including an analysis of reasons for material changes in the line items. The Company acknowledges that: • the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012; • Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the Securities and Exchange Commission from taking any action with respect to the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012; and • the Company may not assert Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. Should you have any questions or comments with respect to this response, please call me at (713) 644-8182. Sincerely, /s/ Andrew L. Puhala Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

Advances to and Investments in Foreign Joint Ventures’ Operations, page F-1 1. We note the significance of your investments in joint ventures to your financial statements. In future filings, please revise to include all disclosures required by Rule 8-03(b)3 of Regulation S-X for your equity investees. For example, we note that you have not included gross profit in your disclosures. Response 1. The Company will include all disclosures required by Rule 8-03(b)3 of Regulation S-X for its significant equity investees in its future filings. 2. In light of the significance of your investments in joint ventures please explain to us how you considered whether providing separate full equity method investee financial statements for the more significant investees would be material to an investor’s understanding of your financial statements. We note that net sales of BOMAY increased from $53.6 million in fiscal 2011 to $84.6 million in fiscal 2012 and exceeded your consolidated net sales each period and net equity income from foreign joint ventures’ operations represented most of your net income for fiscal 2012. Response 2. The Company has considered the value to investors of providing separate full equity investee financial statements for its significant investees. The Company also considered the usefulness to investors of the information it currently provides. The Company considered whether the inclusion of such investee financial statements might distract investors attention from the financial results of the Company’s domestic operations which we believe is a better indicator of performance for investors. The Company further considered that the inclusion of such investee financial statements are not required in its filings as long as the Company reports as a “smaller reporting company”. The Company also considered the additional costs which would be incurred in providing separate full equity investee financial statements for its significant investees. As a result of these considerations, the Company has determined not to provide separate full equity investee financial statements for its significant investees at this time. The Company acknowledges that: • the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012; • Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012; and • the Company may not assert Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 COMMENT 1 Contractual Obligations, page 17 In future filings please revise your table of contractual obligations to include scheduled interest payments in your table. To the extent that the interest rates are variable and unknown, you may use your judgment to determine whether or not to include estimates of future variable rate interest payments in the table or in a footnote to the table. RESPONSE We will make changes to all future filings to our table of contractual obligations to include scheduled interest payment as indicated in COMMENT 1. COMMENT 2 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, page 18 We note your disclosures on page F-9 regarding your property, plant and equipment. In future filings, please provide a more specific and comprehensive discussion of the triggering events which would cause you to perform an impairment analysis of your long-lived assets. Also, please identify when your last impairment analysis was performed. If the fair value of your long-lived assets is not substantially in excess of the carrying value, please disclose the following: • The percentage by which fair value exceeds carrying value; Mr. John Cash United States Securities and Exchange Commission December 30, 2009 Page 2 • A description of the methods and key assumptions used and how the key assumptions were determined; • A discussion of the degree of uncertainties associated with the key assumptions, and; • A discussion of any potential events, trends and/or changes in circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the key assumptions. If you have determined that estimated fair values substantially exceed carrying values, please disclose that determination. Refer to Item 303 of Regulation S-K and Section V of Interpretive Release 33-8350 for guidance. RESPONSE We will make changes to all future filings to expand our disclosures of critical accounting policies and estimates related to property plant and equipment. As indicated by COMMENT 2, our disclosures will include a more specific and comprehensive discussion of the triggering events which would cause us to perform an impairment analysis of our long-lived assets and the date our last impairment analysis was performed. If the fair value of our long-lived assets is not substantially in excess of the carrying value, we will disclose the percentage by which fair value exceeds carrying value, a description of the methods and key assumptions used and how the key assumptions were determined, a discussion of the degree of uncertainties associated with the key assumptions, and a discussion of any potential events, trends and/or changes in circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the key assumptions. If we have determined that estimated fair values substantially exceed carrying values, we will disclose that determination. COMMENT 3 Notes to Financial Statements (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Property, Plant and Equipment, page F-9 We note that your customer agreements have not been assigned a useful life. Given this, it appears that you have determined these assets are indefinite lived. Please explain this determination citing appropriate authoritative literature and enhance your disclosures in future filing to clearly explain your accounting policy for this type of asset. RESPONSE We did not adequately disclose the details regarding the value and useful life of our customer agreements. Specifically, as of December 31, 2008, The cost, accumulated amortization and net value should have been reported as $173,000, $62,000 and $111,000, respectively. The estimated useful life is 10 years based on the relationships that exist and amortization expense will approximate $17,300 per year for the forward 5 year period. We will reflect this more accurate and appropriate disclosure in all future audited financial statements. Mr. John Cash United States Securities and Exchange Commission December 30, 2009 Page 3 COMMENT 4 (I 5) Stock Options, page F-20 In future filings please ensure you have included the disclosures required by ASC Topic 718. For example, it does not appear that you have included the weighted average grant date fair value of equity options or the methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value. Please refer to ASC Topic 718.10.50-2. RESPONSE We will make changes to all future filings to include the disclosures required by ASC Topic 718, including the weighted average grant date fair value of equity options and the methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value. COMMENT 5 Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 Statement of Cash Flows, page 5 In future filings please remove the apparent subtotal on the line titled ‘Change in operating assets and liabilities.’ Additionally, we note that your net cash provided by operating activities does not total correctly. Please provide an explanation for this difference and provide revised cash flow subtotals (i.e., operations, investing and financing) for the period ended September 30,2009 in your response. RESPONSE We will make changes in all future filings to assure that all aspects of the Statement of Cash Flows, including apparent subtotal and other totals are accurate. The cash flow subtotals for operations, investing and financing are correct in the original filing. The discrepancy in this filing is that the figure for “Income taxes receivable/payable” should be replaced by the apparent subtotal of “Change in operating assets and liabilities”. This discrepancy occurred because of an error that occurred during the process of converting our documents to EDGAR formats. We will improve our document review process to assure such a discrepancy does not occur in future filings. COMMENT 6 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 9. Revolving Credit Agreement, page 10 We note your credit agreement contains financial covenants. If it becomes reasonably likely that you may not comply with a material covenant, please present, for your most significant and restrictive covenants, actual ratios and other actual amounts versus minimum/maximum rations/amounts required as of each reporting date. Such presentation will allow investors to more easily understand your current ability to meet your financial covenants. It may also be necessary to show specific computations used to arrive at the actual ratios with corresponding reconciliations to US GAAP amounts, if applicable. See Sections I.D and IV.C of the SEC Interpretive Release No. 33-8350 and Question 10 of our FAQ Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures dated June 13, 2003. Mr. John Cash United States Securities and Exchange Commission December 30, 2009 Page 4 RESPONSE In the event that we believe that a material covenant is reasonably likely to be violated, we will include the appropriate ratios and computations in the filing to enable investors to more easily understand our ability to avoid any such possible violations. COMMENT 7 11. Leases, page F-18 We note your table of future lease commitments on page F-19. Please clarify for us if this table only includes those commitments resulting from your capital lease obligation. If so, please include your future minimum lease payments for your operating leases in future filings as required by ASC Topic 840.20.50. RESPONSE The table of future lease commitments on page F-19 only includes those commitments resulting from our capital lease obligation. We have not included any commitments related to operating leases because the Company owns all the other properties on which it operates and has no other significant operating leases. We will disclose that fact in all future filings to clarify this issue. Company Acknowledgements In accordance with the instructions in the comment letter, we acknowledge that: • The company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; • Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and • The company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Revised Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A
Filed February 7, 2007
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005
File No. 0-24575
Dear Mr. Adams:
We reviewed the filings and have the comments below.
General
1. Please note that we still await responses to prior comments 61-65 of our letter dated
January 30, 2007.
Letter to Stockholders
2. Please disclose here that in the merger you will issue 4 shares to the M & I holders for each outstanding share of your common stock.
Proposal No. 1-Merger Structure, page 14
3. We may have further comment after receipt of the numbers for the calculation of the number of shares you will issue in the merger.
Mr. Timothy C. Adams
February 23, 2007 Page 2
4. Disclose why the number of shares you will issue to M & I stockholders is based upon the number of outstanding American Access shares and not the number of outstanding M & I shares. Disclose the current number of outstanding M & I shares.
Opinion of our financial advisor, page 18
Business and Financial Overviews, page 20
5. Please disclose how the reductions in EBITDA and revenue estimates affected HFBE’s analysis.
Valuation of M & I, page 20
6. For each of the effected analyses, please disclose the information set forth in the second paragraph of your response to prior comment 23. Disclose how shareholders are to evaluate the stated results for each analysis since the numbers are not related to merger consideration.
Comparative Per Share Data, page 41
7. It appears to us that the exchange ratio you use to calculate the pro forma equivalent data should be based on the 246,981 shares of M & I common stock outstanding at September 30, 2006 as seen on page F-20 and the 31,032,828 shares of American Access common stock you anticipate being issued as seen on pages 14 and 58. Please revise. Please also revise footnote one to clarify that the actual exchange ratio will not be known until after the date of the Special Meeting. In this regard, we note your disclosure on this matter on page 14.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of M & I, page 43
Results of Operations – Divisional Comparisons
8. Please reconcile your analysis of Technical Products & Services’ income before taxes to the numbers seen in your segment footnote on page F-18. In this regard, it appears that you revised your segment footnote in response to our prior comment 55, but did not make conforming changes to your MD&A narrative.
9. We note your response to our prior comment 36. Please revise your analysis of the Electrical and Instrumentation Construction segment to exclude revenues attributed to your Other segment. If you wish to analyze your Other segment, please provide a separate analysis of these revenues and gross profit or loss. Please also provide a brief description of these revenues and expenses in your segment footnote on page F-18.
Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet, page 53
Mr. Timothy C. Adams
February 23, 2007 Page 3
10. We note the amount of goodwill you are reflecting in pro forma adjustment (E) has significantly decreased, while the total purchase price seen in pro forma footnote 2 has increased. Please revise your pro forma adjustments if necessary; otherwise revise your pro forma footnote 2 to more clearly reflect your allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities, including goodwill. In addition, please disclose the factors that contributed to a purchase price that results in the recognition of goodwill.
11. Please refer to our prior comment 39. It is unclear to us why you have added pro forma adjustment (G) to eliminate accrued merger costs from the historical balance sheet. Please revise.
Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations, pages 54 and 55
12. Please correct the number of shares used to calculate pro forma earnings per share for the year ended 12/31/05.
13. It is unclear to us why you have added pro forma adjustments (H) and (G) to your September 30, 2006 income statement. As indicated in our prior comment 40, your pro forma income statement should only reflect net income before material nonrecurring
charges directly related to the transaction. Although nonrecurring charges often should be discussed in the pro forma footnotes, it is inappropriate to present them on the face of your pro forma income statement. Additionally, it is unclear to us why you would reflect items that will be capitalized as part of the purchase price of American Access as expenses on your income statement. Please revise.
M & I Electric Industries, Inc. December 31, 2005 Financial Statements
Note 1(j) – Revenue Recognition, page F-9
14. We note your response to our prior comment 52 concerning electrical contracts and the manufacture of electrical distribution and control systems. Please help us to better understand how you determined that percentage of completion accounting was appropriate for these contracts. Tell us more about the rights of the buyer and the seller to the work-in-progress, including which party has legal ownership rights to the work-in-progress and what remedies, if any, you have for recovering your costs and expected profit if your customer cancels a contract while it is in progress. Help us to understand the extent of customization that goes into this equipment, and tell us whether a partially completed project could be sold to and modified for another customer. Also provide us with representative contracts to help us better understand these terms.
15. We note your response to our prior comment 52 concerning your use of a $100,000 contract value threshold in determining your revenue recognition policy. Please revise
Mr. Timothy C. Adams
February 23, 2007 Page 4
your policy to clarify, if true, that you use the completed contract method for contracts that will be performed within a period of one month or less. We continue to believe that it is not appropriate for your stated accounting policy to be based on a dollar threshold.
Note 18 – Segment Reporting, page F-18
16. We note your response to our prior comment 55. Please revise your footnote to clarify your policy on allocating operating expenses to your segments, similar to the information you provided supplementally to us. Refer to paragraph 31(b) of SFAS 131.
M & I Electric Industries, Inc. September 30, 2006 Financial Statements
Note 4 – Segment Information, page F-23
17. We note your response to our prior comment 57. Please reconcile the total identifiable assets for 2005 as seen on page F-24 to your total assets as seen on your balance sheet. Also revise your narrative to clarify, if true, that you changed your policy during 2006 such that management now separately reviews and analyzes your assets on a segmental basis. In this regard, we note your statement concerning this matter on page F-18.
18. Please revise your description of corporate and unallocated assets to clarify why accounts receivable would not be allocated to one of your reportable segments. In this regard, if the unallocated accounts receivable relates to your Other segment, you should state this.

(the “Company”) is in receipt of your comment letter dated January 30, 2007 and submits the following responses to your comments on the above referenced filings. Your comments on our Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed January 3, 2007 will be addressed in connection with an amended filing of the preliminary proxy statement. These responses are numbered to correspond to the numbered comments in your January 30, 2007 letter: 10-KSB/A Item 8A. Controls and Procedures The Company is filing Amendment No. 2 to its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 revising Item 8A. Controls and Procedures as follows: 61. Stating the conclusion of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concerning the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. Signatures 62. Amendment No. 2 will be signed by the principal executive officer, principal accounting officer and principal financial officer. 8-K dated December 1, 2006 and filed December 4, 2006 We do not believe it is proper to report and file the definitive merger agreement with M & I under Item 2.01. Item 2.01 is used to report the Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. It is not proper to report this transaction as completed as of this time. Release 33-8400 confirms the relationship between Item 1.01 and Item 2.01 as follows: “Typically, a company will report its entry into a material definitive agreement to acquire or dispose of assets under Item 1.01, and then later disclose the closing of the acquisition or disposition transaction under Item 2.01.” Item 1.01 does not require the filing of the agreement as an exhibit. Pursuant to Reg. S-B, Item 601(a)(3) it will be filed with the Company’s next periodic report and will comply with Reg. S-B Item 601(b)(2) concerning omitted schedules or attachments. 8-K dated November 27, 2006 and filed January 3, 2007 65. We do not believe that the request to file a copy of the employment contract with Mr. Wiisanen pursuant to Item 1.01 of Form 8-K is appropriate. Form 8-K was revised effective November 7, 2006 pursuant to Release 33-8737. Employment contracts are now reported under Item 5.02 and filed with the next periodic report pursuant to Reg. S-B, Instruction 2 to Item 601(b)(10). The Company hereby acknowledges: a.) The Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filings; b.) Our comments or changes in response to your comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action on the filings; and c.) The Company may not assert your comments as a defense in any proceedings initiated by the Commission or any person under the United States’ federal securities laws. It is anticipated that the Form 10-KSB amendment and the information provided herein sufficiently addresses the issues raised in your comment letter concerning the above-reference filings. If you have any further comments or require any further information, please contact our counsel in this matter, Joel Bernstein, at 305-858-7300 by fax to 786-513-8522.

to
achieve these objectives. We welcome any questions that you may
have
about comments or any other aspect of our review. You may call us

2. Please update the financial statements and related financial
disclosures, as necessary, to comply with Rule 3-12 of Regulation
S-
X.
3. Please tell us what consideration you gave to presenting three
years of audited financial statements for M & I since they do not
qualify as a small business issuer under Regulation S-B. Refer to
Rules 3-01 and 3-02 of Regulation S-X.
Interests of certain persons in the merger, pages 4 and 27
4. For any interests of directors and officers in the merger that
are
different from or in addition to those of other stockholders`
interests, not only describe but also quantify all the interests
of
each person individually, including cash payments under any
employment, retention, severance, or directorship agreements and
upon
the exercise of any outstanding stock options and stock purchase
warrants in connection with the proposed merger transaction.
Consider presenting this information in bullet points or tabular
format so that it is easier for stockholders to read and
understand.
We note the disclosures relating to unexercised in-the-money
options
and executive employment agreements on page 81.
Proposal No. 6. Amendment to Article XII of our By-laws, page 5
5. Expand the disclosure to indicate that under the proposed

the
stockholders if the stockholders specifically provide that the
bylaw
is not subject to amendment or repeal by the board. We note the
disclosure on page 70.
Certain Risks Associated with the Merger, page 7
6. We note the statement that "Additional risks and uncertainties
not
presently recognized or that we currently deem immaterial may also
affect our business and results of operations and the business and
results of operations of M & I." Since you are required to
disclose
all risks that you believe are material, please delete. We note
similar disclosure in the 10-KSB and subsequent 10-QSBs. Please
revise in future filings.
Change in the board of directors and management, page 7
7. Identify here the four new directors whom M&I Electric
Industries,
Inc. or M&I has selected.
The common stock issued pursuant to the merger could result in
significant "market overhang" which could restrain or limit
increases
in the market value of our common stock, page 8
8. Since the shares being issued to M&I stockholders are not being
registered, make clear that the shares may not be resold, absent
registration or an exemption from registration. Also disclose
whether M&I stockholders are entitled to any registration rights,
and, if so, indicate elsewhere in the proxy statement what the
material provisions of the rights are.
Compliance with securities laws, page 9
9. Specify the Securities Act`s section or the Commission`s rule
under which you are claiming exemption from registration. Tell us
the facts relied upon to make the exemption available. We note
the
disclosure in the seventh bullet point on page 57.
Risks Related to M&I, page 9
10. The second risk factor on page 10 states that M&I relies on a
few
key employees. Identify the key employees upon whom M&I relies.
11. The first risk factor on page 11 states that 32% of M&I`s
revenues in 2005 were obtained from projects and business
operations
outside of the United States. Disclose the countries outside of
the
United States in which M&I obtained revenues from projects and
business operations in 2005 and, if reasonably ascertainable, in
2006.
Merger structure, page 13
12. We note that exhibit C to the agreement and plan of merger
attached as annex A to the proxy statement relates to the exchange
ratio. Describe clearly in the proxy statement how the exchange
ratio is calculated, and consider including exhibit C in annex A.
13. Notwithstanding the disclaimers relating to the
representations
and warranties in the last paragraph on page 13, AATK is
responsible
for considering whether additional specific disclosures in the
proxy
statement are required to put into context information about the
representations and warranties so that the information in the
proxy
statement is not misleading. Please confirm your understanding.
Background of the merger, page 14
14. Throughout this subsection, identify the members of management
who participated in the various meetings leading up to the
proposal
to engage in this transaction. For example, you refer to M&I
management in the sixth paragraph on page 14 and to John Untereker
in
the eleventh paragraph on page 14. We note the disclosure on page
25
that Mr. Untereker is vice president and chief financial officer
of
M&I.
15. In the second paragraph on page 14, indicate in what capacity
Mr.
Stuart Schube acted on M&I`s behalf. We note the disclosure on
page

since
November 1986 and the disclosure on page 55 that Mr. Schube is the
general partner of Pebblebrook Partners, LTD.
16. You state in the first paragraph on page 15 that both
companies
agreed to extend the deadline for execution of a definitive
agreement. Specify the dates of the initial deadline and the
extended deadline.
Our reasons for proposing the acquisition of M & I, page 15
17. Summarize the board`s discussion and analysis of the
alternative
acquisitions here and in the Background section and explain how
the
alternatives informed the board`s decision that the M&I
acquisition
is in the best interests of AATK. We note the disclosures
relating
to Howard Frazier Barker Elliott, Inc. or HFBE and AATK`s
management
under "Assessment of strategic alternatives to the merger" on
pages
21-22. Please also disclose why the board rejected these
alternatives in the Background section.
18. Disclosure states that before approving the merger agreement,
AATK`s board of directors sought to identify and consider the
significant benefits and risks anticipated from the potential
business combination with M&I. Expand the disclosure to include a
meaningful discussion and analysis of how the board considered the
risks anticipated from the potential business combination with
M&I,
and explain how the risks impacted the board`s determination.
Opinion of our financial advisor, page 16
19. Revise the opinion attached as annex B to the proxy statement:
* To remove the word "sole" from the statement in the sixth
paragraph
that "The Opinion of HFBE was undertaken at the sole behest of and
for the sole benefit of the Board" since shareholders should be
entitled to rely on the opinion
* To include a clear statement that HFBE consents to the use of
its
opinion and the related disclosure in the proxy statement.
20. Provide with any outlines, summaries, reports, or board books
prepared and furnished by HFBE to AATK`s board of directors.
Business and Financial Overviews, page 18
21. Disclosure states that HFBE observed that AATK management had
made significant reductions to its prior estimates for EBITDA and
to
a lesser extent revenues for 2006 and 2007. Absent additional
disclosure, it is unclear whether and to what extent AATK
management`s reductions to its prior estimates were considered by
HFBE in its comparable company and comparable transaction
analyses.
Please revise.
Comparable Company Analysis, page 18
22. Confirm, if true, that no company identified as meeting the
selection criteria for the comparable company analysis was
excluded
from the analysis.
23. Disclosure states that HFBE:
* Calculated the multiples implied by each comparable company`s
enterprise value in relation to the latest 12 months EBITDA and
projected 2006 and 2007 EBITDA and reviewed each company`s market
price per share in relation to the latest 12 months and projected
2006 and 2007 earnings per share.
* Then applied a selected range of multiples to M&I`s
corresponding
financial data and calculated a reference range of implied
enterprise
values for M&I of $22.2 million to $29.6 million.
Disclose the range of comparable multiples calculated by HFBE and
the
selected range of multiples applied by HFBE to M&I`s corresponding
financial data, and indicate how the reference range for M&I
compares
to the merger consideration.
Comparable Transaction Analysis, page 19
24. Disclosure states that HFBE calculated transaction values as a
multiple of the latest 12 months and projected EBITDA for the
target
companies and calculated a reference range of implied enterprise
values for M&I of $18.9 million to $22.1 million. Disclose the
range
of selected transaction multiples, and indicate how the reference
range for M&I compares to the merger consideration.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis, page 19
25. Disclosure states that the discounted cash flow analysis
resulted
in an implied reference range of equity values for M&I of $21.0
million to $27.0 million. Disclose how the range compares to the
merger consideration.

Re: American Access Technologies, Inc.
Revised Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A
Filed November 15, 2006
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
December
31, 2005
File No. 0-24575
Dear Mr. Kelley:
We reviewed the filings and have the comments below.
PreR14A
1. We note that American Access Technologies, Inc. or AATK did not
file a redlined or marked version of the revised preliminary proxy
statement as required by Item 310 of Regulation S-T. Please
comply
with the item`s requirement in future filings.
10-KSB
Item 8A. Controls and Procedures
2. Refer to prior comments 3 and 4. You indicate in your response
that "due to a typographical error..., the sentence which was
meant
to report the conclusion of such effectiveness, may be read to
give
the erroneous impression that there was simultaneously a material
weakness and a conclusion that its internal control over financial
reporting was effective." Please amend the 10-KSB to correct the
"erroneous impression."
3. Refer to prior comment 5. You may state your conclusion while
providing the complete definition of disclosure controls and
procedures. Alternatively, you may state that your disclosure
controls and procedures are or are not effective without providing
any part of the definition of disclosure controls and procedures
that
is included in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Please
revise.
4. We are unable to concur with your response to prior comment 6
that
the disclosure is accurate. As noted previously, you state "With
the
exception of the material weakness noted above, there were no
other
changes in our internal control over financial reporting during
2005
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting." Thus, we
reissue the comment for AATK to revise the disclosure to state
clearly, if correct, that there were changes in AATK`s internal
control over financial reporting that occurred during its fourth
fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely
to materially affect, AATK`s internal control over financial
reporting. See Item 308(c) of Regulation S-B.
Closing
File an amendment to the 10-KSB in response to the comments.
To
expedite our review, you may wish to provide us three marked
courtesy
copies of the filings. Include with the filings any supplemental
information requested and a cover letter tagged as correspondence
that keys the response to the comments. If you think that
compliance
with the comments is inappropriate, provide the basis in the
letter.
We may have additional comments after review of the filings, the
responses to the comments, and any supplemental information.
We urge all persons responsible for the accuracy and adequacy
of
the disclosure in the filing reviewed by us to ensure that they
have
provided all information investors require for an informed
decision.
Since AATK and its management are in possession of all facts
relating
to the disclosure in the filing, they are responsible for the
adequacy and accuracy of the disclosures that they have made.
When responding to our comments, provide a written statement
from AATK in which AATK acknowledges that:
* AATK is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the
disclosure
in the filing.
* Our comments or changes to disclosures in response to our
comments
do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action on the
filing.
* AATK may not assert our comments as a defense in any proceedings
initiated by the Commission or any person under the United States`
federal securities laws.
The Commission`s Division of Enforcement has access to all
information that AATK provides us in our review of the filing or
in
response to our comments on the filing.
You may direct questions on comments and disclosure issues to
Edward M. Kelly, Senior Counsel, at (202) 551-3728 or me, at (202)
551-3767.

CORRESP 1 filename1.htm Correspondence Letter November 17, 2006 Pamela A. Long Assistant Director Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: American Access Technologies, Inc. Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A Filed September 15, 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 File No. 0-24575 Dear Ms. Long: American Access Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is in receipt of your comment letter dated October 5, 2006, and submits the following responses to your comments: Pre14A 1 - 2. We have filed Amendment No. 1 to the Preliminary Proxy Statement which addresses each of your comments no. 1 and 2. Amendment No. 1 revises the matters which will be considered at the annual meeting to be only (1) the election of directors, and (2) approval of the selection of independent auditors. The proposal to increase the authorized shares which was the only subject of your comments on the initial filing is not included in this proxy statement and will not be considered at the annual meeting. Since you had no comments on the two proposals which remain in the proxy statement we would request your immediate advice that you have no further comments on this matter so we can avoid having our annual meeting in the middle of the holiday season. 10-KSB Item 8A. Controls and Procedures 3 - 4. The Company filed a Form 8-K on August 9, 2005 reporting that it had discovered an error in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 and intended to restate the financial statements. The Company received a letter from the Commission dated August 10, 2005 (available on Edgar) in response, including specific matters to be addressed in subsequent filings on this matter. The Company filed an Amended Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 which reported a material weakness in internal controls as of December 31, 2004 along with the other matters suggested by the Commission in its August 10, 2005 letter. Item 8A on the Company’s Form 10-KSB for December 31, 2005 was meant to report that the previously reported material weakness had been successfully corrected by specified new procedures which resulted in the unqualified conclusion by management that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2005. Unfortunately, due to a typographical error which went unnoticed, the sentence which was meant to report the conclusion of such effectiveness, may be read to give the erroneous impression that there was simultaneously a material weakness and a conclusion that its internal control over financial reporting was effective. 5. Because Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, states that, “disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure” management’s conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective” we did not feel it was necessary to specifically refer to this aspect of disclosure controls and procedures because it is included in the meaning of the term which we provided in the filing. This will confirm that the evaluation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2005 concluded that AAT’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed and effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by AAT in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934: • Is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and • Is accumulated and communicated to AAT’s management, including its chief executive and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 6. We did report in the last sentence of the paragraph prior to the one you quoted in your comment letter the specific changes made in our internal control over financial reporting in the fourth quarter. We believe the narrative concerning this entire matter set forth in Item 8A gives a full and frank disclosure of the entire history of the material weakness and the remediation program. In view of the foregoing, we believe that it is unnecessary to amend Form 10-KSB in that the original filing was entirely responsive to the disclosures required in Item 8A, there was no omission of any material fact and nothing in the original filing would in any way mislead an investor concerning our disclosures and controls as of December 31, 2005. Accordingly, we request that you complete your review without requiring an amendment. As requested in your comment letter, the Company hereby acknowledges: a.) The Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; b.) Our comments or changes in response to your comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action on the filing; and c.) The Company may not assert your comments as a defense in any proceedings initiated by the Commission or any person under the United States’ federal securities laws. It is anticipated that this amendment and the information provided herein sufficiently addresses the issues raised in your comment letter. If you have any further comments or require any further information, please contact our counsel in this matter, Joel Bernstein, at 305-858-7300. Yours very truly AMERICAN ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Re: American Access Technologies, Inc.
Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A
Filed September 15, 2006
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
December
31, 2005
File No. 0-24575
Dear Mr. Kelley:
We limited our review of the filing to the issues addressed
in
our comments. Where indicated, we think that you should revise
the
filing in responses to the comments. If you disagree, we will
consider your explanation why a comment is inapplicable or a
revision
is unnecessary. Be as detailed as necessary in your explanation.
To
understand better your disclosure, we may ask you in some comments
to
provide us information. We may raise additional comments after
reviewing this information.
Our review`s purpose is to assist you in your compliance with
applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall
disclosure in your filing. We look forward to working with you to
achieve these objectives. We welcome any questions that you may
have
about comments or any other aspect of our review. You may call us
at
the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter.
Pre14A
1. We note that American Access Technologies, Inc. or AATK is
requesting stockholders` approval of an amendment to its articles
of
incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of
common
stock from 30 million to 200 million. Other than reserving
3,722,000
shares of common stock for possible issuance upon the exercise of
outstanding stock options and 156,700 shares for possible issuance
upon the exercise of common stock purchase warrants, disclosure in
the preliminary proxy statement states that AATK has no other
agreements or obligations to issue its common stock. Disclosure
in
the current report on Form 8-K dated and filed by AATK on July 6,
2006 states, however, that:
* AATK has signed a letter of intent to combine with M&I Electric
Industries, Inc. or M&I Electric and expects to complete a share
exchange transaction in the third quarter of 2006.
* It is anticipated the business combination will be completed by
the
issuance of AATK common stock in exchange for the outstanding
shares
of M&I Electric and will result in the current shareholders of M&I
Electric holding 80% of the total shares of AATK common stock to
be
outstanding after the closing.
Please reconcile the disclosures.
2. If a purpose of the stockholders` proposal is to have an
adequate
number of authorized and unissued shares of common stock for
issuance
in the share exchange transaction with M&I Electric, the proposal
"involves" the transaction with M&I Electric. If so, provide the
information required by Item 14 of Schedule 14A. See note A to
Schedule 14A.
10-KSB
Item 8A. Controls and Procedures
3. Since a material weakness existed in AATK`s internal controls
over
the valuation of inventory, disclose in reasonable detail the
basis
for its officers` conclusions that AATK`s disclosure controls and
procedures were nonetheless effective as of the end of the period
covered by the report. See Item 308(a)(3) of Regulation S-B.
4. Disclose by whom the material weakness was identified and when
the
material weakness first began.
5. We note the statement "Disclosure controls and procedures are
procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that
information required to be disclosed in our reports...is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified
in the SEC`s rules and forms." Revise to clarify, if true, that
AATK`s management, including its chief executive officer and its
chief financial officer, concluded that AATK`s disclosure controls
and procedures are designed and effective to ensure that
information
required to be disclosed by AATK in the reports that it files or
submits under the Exchange Act:
* Is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time
periods specified in the Commission`s rules and regulations.
* Is accumulated and communicated to AATK`s management, including
its
chief executive officer and its chief financial officer, to allow
timely decisions on required disclosure.
See Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
6. We note the statement "With the exception of the material
weakness
noted above, there were no other changes in our internal control
over
financial reporting during 2005 that have materially affected, or
are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting." Revise to state clearly, if correct, that
there were changes in AATK`s internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during its fourth fiscal quarter that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
AATK`s internal control over financial reporting. See Item 308(c)
of
Regulation S-B.

Selling stockholders, page 6
1. Please revise the selling shareholder table to include a
"total"
line at the end of the table.
2. Please revise to include the required columns showing the
percentages owned before and after the offering.
3. If any selling securityholder is a broker-dealer, please
identify
it as such. Please note that selling securityholders who are
broker-
dealers must be identified as underwriters in the prospectus. For
selling securityholders that are affiliates of broker-dealers, the
prospectus must state that: (1) the sellers purchased in the
ordinary
course of business; and (2) at the time of purchase of the
securities
you are registering for resale, the seller had no agreements or
understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person, to
distribute the securities. If you are unable to make these
statements in the prospectus, the disclosure must state that the
sellers are also underwriters.
4. For every selling securityholder that is not a publicly owned
entity, please name the individuals who share beneficial ownership
of
the entity.
5. To the extent that any successor(s) to the named selling
stockholder wish to sell under this prospectus, please be advised
that you must file a prospectus supplement identifying such
successors as selling stockholders. Please revise your disclosure
to
state that a prospectus supplement will be filed in these
circumstances.
Information incorporated by reference, page 9
6. Revise your disclosure to specifically incorporate by reference
your Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 and the
Form
8-K that was filed on November 5, 2004.
Closing comments

response
to these comments. You may wish to provide us with marked copies
of
the amendment to expedite our review. Please furnish a cover
letter
with your amendment that keys your responses to our comments and

responses
to our comments.
We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy
of the disclosure in the filings reviewed by the staff to be
certain
that they have provided all information investors require for an
informed decision. Since the company and its management are in
possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they
are
responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they
have made.
Notwithstanding our comments, in the event the company requests
acceleration of the effective date of the pending registration
statement, it should furnish a letter, at the time of such
request,
acknowledging that:
* should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated
authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the
Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;
* the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to
delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not
relieve the company from its full responsibility for the adequacy
and
accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
* the company may not assert this action as a defense in any
proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.
In addition, please be advised that the Division of Enforcement
has
access to all information you provide to the staff of the Division
of
Corporation Finance in connection with our review of your filing
or
in response to our comments on your filing.
We will consider a written request for acceleration of the
effective
date of the registration statement as a confirmation of the fact
that
those requesting acceleration are aware of their respective
responsibilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and the
Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 as they relate to the proposed public
offering
of the securities specified in the above registration statement.
We
will act on the request and, pursuant to delegated authority,
grant
acceleration of the effective date.
We direct your attention to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requesting
acceleration of a registration statement. Please allow adequate
time
after the filing of any amendment for further review before
submitting a request for acceleration. Please provide this
request
at least two business days in advance of the requested effective
date.
