ANALYTICAL SURVEYS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTH RESULTS

Company Signs Multiple Contracts with New and Existing Customers During First Half of Fiscal Year

SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- May 16, 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 second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 2005.

Second quarter revenue was $1.5 million versus $3.67 million in the comparable 2004 fiscal quarter. The Company reduced its net loss from operations to $615,000 versus a net loss from operations of $755,000 in the 2004 second quarter. Net loss available to common shareholders was $679,000, or $0.24 per diluted share, versus a net loss available to common shareholders of $902,000, or $0.83 per diluted share, in the second quarter last year.

Through six months, revenue was $3.6 million compared with revenue of $6.2 million in the comparable period of 2004. Net loss from operations was reduced to $1.1 million (as reported in the financial table) as compared with a loss from operations of $1.8 million in the comparable period of 2004. Net loss available to common shareholders totaled $1.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, versus a net loss available to common shareholders of $2.2 million, or $2.13 per diluted share, in the same period of 2004. The reduction in losses in this year's three- and six-month periods was a result of lower operating losses and lower interest expense.

Management attributed the decline in revenue to a lower number of active contracts. During the second quarter and first half six months of the fiscal year2005, the Company signed multiple contracts and extensions with various clients, including a major new client, to perform data conversion and data migration services, totaling $1.8 and $2.7 million, respectively, and ended the quarter with an order backlog of $5.7 million versus $6.5 million at the end of fiscal 2004. The services are scheduled for delivery over the next 12 months. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.

Lori Jones, CEO of ASI, said, "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. We are proud to have earned the respect and trust that has led to our success in acquiring these new data conversion and migration projects. We intend to build on these core competencies to expand our business lines. We are pursuing future growth strategies which may include marketing to the federal, state, and local government sectors and evaluation of acquisitions in support of internal expansion."
