ANALYTICAL SURVEYS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Company also Announces Completion of Private Placement to Fund Diversification Strategy

SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- February 14, 2006 _ Analytical Surveys, Inc. (ASI) (Nasdaq: 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 first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2005.

First quarter revenue was $1.3 million versus $2.0 million in the same period a year ago. Net loss available to common shareholders was $43,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $491,000, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the first quarter last year. The reduced net loss was principally due to lower revenues, salaries, wages, benefits and subcontractor costs, as well as the absence of severance costs in fiscal 2006.

Management attributed the decline in first quarter revenue to a lower number of active contracts versus last year's first quarter, and a lower level of new contract signings in recent fiscal years. The long-term decline in contract activity has been the result of lower demand for data conversion services specifically within the GIS industry. The Company ended the first quarter with an order backlog of $2.9 million versus $4.0 million at the end of fiscal 2005.

ASI also announced that on February 10, 2006, the Company completed the placement of a new Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with gross aggregate proceeds of approximately $760,000. This preferred stock bears interest at 7% annually and is convertible into 598,425 shares of our common stock on or before February 10, 2008. Pursuant to the transaction, the Company also issued warrants that entitle the holders to purchase up to 795,276 shares of common stock at 101% and 112% of the closing bid price on the date of closing. The warrants will be exercisable after six months from the date of closing until their expiration three years from the date of closing. Proceeds will be used to fund the Company's expansion into the energy market, including the purchase of interests in oil and gas prospects.

As previously disclosed, the Company redeemed its previously issued Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, which had been classified as debt, in exchange for common stock, thereby converting debt to equity.

Lori Jones, CEO, said, "We believe that these two separate transactions may allow the Company to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq's stockholders' equity test. Nasdaq is currently reviewing our plan to regain compliance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(B). Jones added, "Management is focused on a diversification program targeting new market opportunities and broadening the Company's service offering into the energy sector, including the acquisition of oil and gas exploration and production rights. We are moving forward with our plan to enter the energy market. We continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities in the energy sector, including exploration, production operations and technology solutions."
