ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT Back to Table of Contents

On February 28, 2005, the Registrant entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") to acquire 51,000 shares representing 51% of the capital stock of Hammonds Technical Services, Inc., a privately owned Texas corporation ("Hammonds") in consideration for the Registrant or its parent, American International Industries, Inc., providing: (i) $1,000,000 in cash to Hammonds for working capital; (ii) a secured revolving long-term line of credit in the amount of $2,000,000; and (iii) the parent, American International Industries, Inc., shall issue 145,000 restricted shares of common stock to the Registrant in consideration for a $1,450,000 promissory note. These shares will be exchanged for two minority equity interests in Hammonds owned by third parties, which minority interest will be canceled. Pursuant to the Agreement, which will be effective April 2, 2005, Hammonds will become a subsidiary of the Registrant.

Business of Hammonds Technical Services, Inc.

Hammonds was founded in 1982 and provides the following diverse products and services:

Water and Treatment for Municipal and Industrial Use . The production and treatment of municipal and industrial water is a growing industry in the U.S., as the demand for clean, safe water grows. Hammonds' proprietary solid disinfection technology provides a major alternative to gaseous chlorine used in every phase of water treatment. Hammonds' believes that the areas of municipal drinking water, food processing and industrial waste treatment present a significant growth potential for Hammonds' water treatment patents. Hammonds will distribute 1.2 million pounds of calcium hypochlorite for municipal disinfection through its network of equipment distributors and food processing customers in 2005.

Fuel Handling Equipment, Industrial Utility Vehicles . Hammonds designs and manufactures fluid handling equipment for industrial utility vehicles and its fluid powered additive systems permits use of a single battlefield fuel by supplying both distribution and tactical additive injectors to all branches of the United States military. Hammonds intends to continue to provide military additive injection systems through sole source supply of equipment for long-term contracts for their fuel handling technology.

Additive Injection Fuels for General and Commercial Aviation Fuels . Hammonds believes that its truck mounted injectors are the technology of choice for major U.S. marketers of jet fuel in providing custom blending at the end of the hose for not only jet fuel, but a wide range of products including diesel, LPGN (propane), home heating oil, and bio-diesel. In January, 2005, Hammonds began a long-term program to install dye injection systems in over eight hundred Canadian and U.S. stationary and truck mounted diesel delivery installations. In addition to equipment, Hammonds fuel additive division produces and markets motor and aviation fuel additives with Biobor (R) JF as its primary product serving the aviation, stand-by power and marine fuel markets. While Biobor(R)JF is one of only two biocides approved for use in aviation fuels; it has also been tested and approved as a preservative for manufactured wood products such as engineered trusses, windows and sheet building materials. The expanding use of these manufactured wood products should provide a new expanded market for Biobor(R) JF since products such as arsenic have been removed from the list of approved wood preservatives.

Multi Design Patents. Hammonds will begin production in March, 2005 of an entirely new class of industrial utility vehicles called the "Omni Directional Vehicle." Hammonds believes that this new design patent will establish a new standard for utility vehicle safety and performance. Forklifts, freight terminal tractors, security vehicles, industrial highway mowers and a full range of aviation ground handling vehicles can be enhanced from this patented design. In addition to producing several "ODV" products at its new plant in Conroe, Texas, Hammonds will enter into license agreements with several major manufacturers to produce a range of vehicles based on "ODV" patents. "Innovation, Pure and Simple" is a registered trademark of Hammonds Technical Services Inc.  Hammonds is currently negotiating for licensing agreements with major manufacturers of these products.

Press Release

American International Industries Inc. Subsidiary Unlimited Coatings Acquires Controlling Equity Interest in Hammonds Technical Services Inc.

1. WATER AND TREATMENT FOR MUNICIPAL AND INDUSTRIAL USE

The production and treatment of municipal and industrial water continues to gain attention as our nation's demand for clean, safe water grows. Hammonds' proprietary solid disinfection technology has been a major alternative to gaseous chlorine used in every phase of water treatment. Municipal drinking water, food processing and industrial waste treatment presents unlimited growth potential for Hammonds' water treatment patents. Hammonds will distribute 1.2 million pounds of calcium hypochlorite for municipal disinfection through its network of equipment distributors and food processing customers in 2005.

2. FUEL HANDLING EQUIPMENT, INDUSTRIAL UTILITY VEHICLES

The design and manufacture of fluid handling equipment and industrial utility vehicles. Hammonds' fluid powered additive systems helped pave the way for a single battlefield fuel by supplying both distribution and tactical additive injectors to all branches of the United States military. Hammonds continues to dominate military additive injection through sole source supply of equipment for long-term contracts as our militaries evolve their fuel handling technology.

3. ADDITIVE INJECTION FUELS

The industry standard for additive injection of general and commercial aviation fuels. Hammonds truck mounted injectors are the technology of choice for major U.S. marketers of jet fuel in providing custom blending at the end of the hose for not only jet fuel, but a wide range of products including diesel, LPGN (propane), home heating oil, and bio-diesel. In January of 2005, Hammonds began a long-term program to install dye injection systems in over eight hundred Canadian and U.S. stationary and truck mounted diesel delivery installations and in addition to equipment, Hammonds fuel additive division produces and markets motor and aviation fuel additives with Biobor JF as its primary product serving the aviation, stand-by power and marine fuel markets. While Biobor JF is one of only two biocides approved for use in aviation fuels; it has been tested and approved as a preservative for manufactured wood products such as engineered trusses, windows and sheet building materials. The expanding use of these manufactured wood products promises a new expanded market for Biobor JF since products such as arsenic have been removed from the list of approved wood preservatives.

4. MULTI DESIGN PATENTS

An exclusive assignment of multiple design patents, Hammonds will begin production in March of 2005 of an entirely new class of industrial utility vehicles called the "Omni Directional Vehicle." This revolutionary concept rewrites the standards for utility vehicle safety and performance. Forklifts, freight terminal tractors, security vehicles, industrial highway mowers and a full range of aviation ground handling vehicles are dramatically enhanced from this patented design. In addition to producing several "ODV" products at its new plant in Conroe, Texas, Hammonds will enter into license agreements with several major manufacturers to produce a range of vehicles based on "ODV" patents.
