ANALYTICAL SURVEYS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTH RESULTS

SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- August 15, 2005 ^_ Analytical Surveys, Inc. (ASI) (Nasdaq SmallCap: ANLT), a leading provider of utility-industry data collection, creation and management services for the geographic information systems (GIS) markets, today announced financial results for its third fiscal quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2005.

Third quarter revenue was $1.4 million versus $3.3 million in the comparable 2004 fiscal quarter. The Company incurred a net loss from operations totaling $783,000 compared with a net loss from operations totaling $155,000 in the 2004 third quarter. Net loss available to common stockholders was $795,000, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared with net earnings available to common stockholders of $1,250,000, or $0.67 per diluted share, in the third quarter last year. The 2004 fiscal period included a non-recurring gain of $1.5 million resulting from the early extinguishment of debt.

Revenue earned in the nine months ending June 30, 2005, totaled $4.9 million compared with $9.5 million in the comparable fiscal 2004 period. Although revenue declined 48%, the net loss from operations remained comparable to the prior-year period at $1.9 million. Net loss available to common stockholders totaled $2.0 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, versus a net loss available to common stockholders of $1.0 million, or $.99 per diluted share, in the same period of 2004. The loss in fiscal 2004 was offset by a non-recurring $1.5 million gain on the early extinguishment of debt. The losses in fiscal 2005 are a result of decreased revenues due to a lower number of active contracts in fiscal 2005 and lower margins on existing contracts.

Lori Jones, CEO of ASI, said, "Over these past six months, we have made important changes to our management team specifically designed to strengthen our focus on operations. We have also reduced our general and administrative expenses by reducing occupancy costs and streamlining our executive, senior and middle management teams. We recognize that our business environment has changed significantly over the past year and, accordingly, we are moving swiftly and decisively toward new business pursuits, including the revitalization of our business development organization and strategic direction."

Ms. Jones continued, "ASI has developed a reputation for reliable delivery of high-quality results, and we are building on that reputation to attract new orders from both first-time and established customers in the federal, state and local government sectors. We intend to build on our core competencies to expand our business lines and pursue appropriate strategic alliances, and we continue to evaluate opportunities to grow through acquisitions. Achievement of renewed critical mass conducive to profitable operations in traditional and non-traditional business sectors is a key priority for ASI's future success."
