Item 7.    Financial Statements and Exhibits

(c) Press Release dated October 30, 2003 is included herein as Exhibit 99.1

Item 12.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On October 30, 2003, Analex Corporation (“Analex” or the “Company”) announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. A copy of the Company’s press release announcing these financial results is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

The press release discloses certain financial measures, specifically earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) that are considered non-GAAP financial measures under applicable SEC rules. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The non-GAAP financial measures included in the press release have been reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure as is now required under new SEC rules regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures.

EBIT and EBITDA are widely used measures of operating performance. They are presented as supplemental information that management of Analex believes is useful to investors to evaluate the Company’s results because they exclude certain items that are not directly related to the Company’s core operating performance. EBIT is calculated by adding back net interest expense and income tax expense to net income. EBITDA is calculated by adding back net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization to net income. EBIT and EBITDA should not be considered as substitutes either for net income, as indicators of Analex’s operating performance, or for cash flow, as measures of Analex’s liquidity. In addition, because EBITDA is not calculated identically by all companies, the Company’s presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
