Item 1. Security and Issuer. ------------------- This statement on Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Issuer Common Stock"), of American Access Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Issuer"). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 37 Skyline Drive, Suite 1101, Lake Mary, Florida 32746. Item 2.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. ------------------------------------------------- On April 10, 2001, the Issuer, Dolphin Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer ("Merger Sub"), and DataWorld entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"). The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into DataWorld, with DataWorld becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the "Merger"). Completion of the Merger is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the approval by the stockholders of the Issuer and DataWorld. As an inducement for DataWorld to enter into the Merger Agreement and in consideration thereof, each of the directors and certain officers of the Issuer set forth on Schedule B (the "Voting Agreement Shareholders") entered into separate Parent Voting Agreements with DataWorld and the Issuer (collectively, the "Voting Agreements"). Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, each Voting Agreement Shareholder agreed to vote the shares of Issuer Common Stock beneficially owned by him in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger and against any competing transactions that may arise. DataWorld did not pay additional consideration to any Voting Agreement Shareholder in connection with the execution and delivery of the Voting Agreements. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, certain of the Voting Agreement Shareholders entered into employment agreements with the Issuer. The employment agreement for John Presley, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, grants Mr. Presley options to purchase 332,685 shares of Issuer Common Stock at a purchase price of $2.25 per share. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. ---------------------- (a) - (b) As described in Item 3 above, this statement relates to the merger of Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer, with and into DataWorld. At the effective time of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease to exist and DataWorld will continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer. Holders of outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of DataWorld ("DataWorld Common Stock") will receive, in exchange for each four shares of DataWorld Common Stock held by them immediately prior to the Merger, one share of the Issuer Common Stock. All options to purchase DataWorld's Common Stock then outstanding will be converted into options to purchase Issuer Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. All warrants to purchase DataWorld Common Stock then outstanding will be converted into warrants to purchase Issuer Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. All outstanding preferred stock of DataWorld will be converted into preferred stock of the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Based on the current capitalization of the Issuer and DataWorld, shareholders of DataWorld will hold approximately 60.45% of the Issuer Common Stock upon consummation of the Merger. Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, each Voting Agreement Shareholder has (1) agreed not to (a) directly or indirectly transfer any shares of or options to purchase any Issuer Common Stock or any other securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Issuer Common Stock beneficially owned without the prior written consent of DataWorld or the transferee having executed a counterpart of the Voting Agreement, (b) deposit (or permit the --------------------------- ------------------ CUSIP NO. 02368F108 13D Page 5 of 9 Pages --------------------------- ------------------ deposit of) any Issuer Common Stock beneficially owned in a voting trust or grant any proxy or enter into any voting or similar agreement in contravention of the obligations of such Voting Agreement Shareholder under the Voting Agreement or (c) take any action that would make any representation or of such shareholder contained therein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling such shareholder from performing such shareholder's obligations under the Voting Agreement, (2) agreed to appear, or cause the holder of record to appear, for the purpose of obtaining a quorum at any meeting of the shareholders of Issuer relating to the Merger and to vote, or cause such shareholder's shares to be voted, in favor of approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement, (3) agreed to vote against (a) any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (b) any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Issuer or (c) any amendment of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Issuer or other proposal or transaction that would in any manner impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify any material provision of the Merger Agreement or the Merger or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of Issuer's capital stock and (4) delivered an irrevocable limited purpose proxy, coupled with an interest, appointing the members of the board of directors of DataWorld and each of them, or any other designee of DataWorld, attorneys-in-fact and proxies, to vote as described above at every meeting of shareholders of the Issuer and in every written consent in lieu of such meeting, and to demand that the Secretary of the Issuer call a special meeting of shareholders of Issuer for the purpose of considering any action related to the Merger Agreement. The Voting Agreements and the related proxies terminate upon the earlier to occur of (1) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to its terms and (2) the effective time of the Merger. The foregoing rights granted to DataWorld pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreements and the related proxies are referred to herein as the "Voting Rights." Other than as set forth above, neither DataWorld nor, to DataWorld's knowledge, any of the persons set forth on Schedule A have any right or power to vote, direct the voting of, dispose of or direct the disposition of the Issuer Common Stock reported on this statement. The summaries of the Merger Agreement, the Voting Agreements and the related proxies set forth in Items 3 and 4 herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copies thereof included as exhibits to this statement and incorporated herein in their entirety by reference. (c) Not applicable. (d) Upon the completion of the Merger, Daniel McPhee, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DataWorld, will become Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer. The board of directors of Issuer will be increased to seven members and consist of (i) the then current board of directors of DataWorld (three members), (ii) a director to be named by DataWorld and (iii) John Presley and two other members of the current Issuer board to be mutually agreed on by DataWorld and Issuer. In addition, the Board of Directors will be changed to a "classified" board consisting of three classes with directors elected for terms of three years, with approximately one-third of the directors subject to election each year. For the initial term, however, one of the classes will have a one year term and one of the classes will have a two year term. The directors referred to in clause (iii) above will be members of a class of --------------------------- ------------------ CUSIP NO. 02368F108 13D Page 6 of 9 Pages --------------------------- ------------------ directors with an initial term expiring not prior to the second anniversary of the closing date of the Merger. Upon the effectiveness of the Merger and until the earlier of the 2004 annual meeting of the Issuer and the resignation of John Presley from the Issuer's Board of Directors, the Issuer may not take any of the following actions without the unanimous consent of the newly created Acquisition and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors, to consist of Messrs. McPhee and Presley: (i) Any reorganization, merger, acquisition, or purchase of assets which would result in the acquisition of a business for which financial statements would be required to be filed by the Issuer pursuant to SEC Regulation S-X 3.05 or increase the outstanding common stock of the Issuer by 10% or more. (ii) Any sale of the Issuer to, or merger, reorganization or consolidation of the Issuer with, any other entity if as a result of such transaction, the stockholders of the Issuer immediately prior to such transaction would own less than 51% of the voting shares of the resulting entity immediately after closing of such transaction. (iii) Any proposed borrowing, capital lease, purchase, sale of debt securities or mortgage which would increase the indebtedness of the Issuer or any subsidiary of the Issuer by $500,000 or more in a single transaction or series of related transactions; provided that this limitation will not apply to any refinancing transaction or any borrowings under the facilities in place as of April 10, 2001. No amendment to the Articles of Incorporation may amend, alter, change or repeal this provision before the 2004 annual meeting of shareholders unless such amendment receives the affirmative vote of the holders of 80% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon. In addition, after the Merger, the Issuer's corporate headquarters will relocate to Farmingdale, New York. (e) Other than as a result of the Merger described in Item 3 above, not applicable. (f) Not applicable. (g) Upon completion of the Merger, the Articles of Incorporation of the Issuer will be amended to provide for the changes described in Item 4(d), all of which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person. (h) - (i) Not applicable. (j) Other than described in this Item 4, neither DataWorld nor, to DataWorld's knowledge, any person named in Schedule A currently has any plan or proposals which relate to, or may result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a) - (i) of Schedule 13D (although DataWorld reserves the right to develop such plans). --------------------------- ------------------ CUSIP NO. 02368F108 13D Page 7 of 9 Pages --------------------------- ------------------ Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. ------------------------------------ (a) As a result of the Voting Rights, DataWorld may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 2,528,653 shares of Issuer Common Stock (including warrants and options providing the right to acquire 2,249,183 shares of Issuer Common Stock that have vested or will vest within 60 days from the date of this filing and excluding options providing the right to acquire 6,666 shares of Issuer Common Stock scheduled to vest thereafter), representing approximately 36.2% of the shares of Issuer Common Stock outstanding on April 10, 2001 as represented by the Issuer in the Merger Agreement.
