Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers

Effective April 11, 2005, Peter C. Belford, Sr. and Rear Admiral U.S. Navy (retired) Daniel P. March were appointed to the Board of Directors of Analex Corporation (the “Company” or “Analex”).

Mr. Belford was a director of Analex from November 2001 through March 2005. On March 11, 2005, Mr. Belford voluntarily resigned from the Board to enable the Company to remain in compliance with the American Stock Exchange listing requirement for a majority of independent directors during the search for Mr. March who replaces former director Mr. Keith Kellogg. It has always been the Company’s intention to re-elect Mr. Belford to the Board as soon as a qualified independent director is identified by the Nominating Committee of the Board. In April 2005, the Nominating Committee recommended the appointment of Mr. March to the Board and the Board, after confirming the independence of Mr. March, unanimously approved the appointment of Mr. March and the re-appointment of Mr. Belford to the Board.

With the appointment of Mr. March and re-appointment of Mr. Belford, five (5) of the Company’s current nine (9) directors are independent members of the Board. A copy of the Company’s press release announcing the appointment of Mr. March and re-appointment of Mr. Belford is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
