ANALYTICAL SURVEYS DISCLOSES NASDAQ COMMUNICATIONS

COMPANY PREPARES TO FILE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- March 23, 2006 ^_ Analytical Surveys, Inc. (ASI) (Nasdaq: ANLT), today announced that on March 21, 2006, it received notification that Nasdaq has determined that the Company complies with Rule 4310 (c)(2)(B)(i) and can maintain its Nasdaq listing. Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company's ongoing compliance with the stockholders' equity requirement, and if the Company does not evidence compliance with that requirement upon filing its next quarterly report on or before May 14, 2006, the Company may be subject to delisting.

The Company has also amended the December 7, 2005, Consulting Agreement ("Agreement") with Pluris Partners, Inc. to restrict the transferability of shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Agreement. The shares, which were restricted when issued, will now be subject to a stop transfer order until shareholder approval of their issuance has been obtained. Until that time, these shares carry no voting rights and are not eligible to participate economically. If shareholders fail to approve the issuance, the shares would be returned to the Company. On March 17, 2006, Nasdaq issued a letter to the Company stating that, prior to the amendment of the Agreement, the Company had been noncompliant with shareholder approval requirements as set forth in Nasdaq's Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(A), and that with the amendment, and the disclosure made within this press release, as required by Marketplace Rule 4803(a), the Company has regained compliance with the Rule and the matter is now closed.

The Company also announced that on or before March 27, 2006, it plans to file a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of its recently issued Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the related warrants, as well as common stock recently issued to Black Shale Energy, LLC, as described in the Company's press release dated March 15, 2006, as well as the shares issued to Pluris.
