ANALYTICAL SURVEYS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- May 15, 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 second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 2006.

Second quarter revenue totaled $1.4 million versus $1.5 million in the comparable 2005 quarter. The Company reduced its net loss from operations to $2,000 versus a net loss from operations of $615,000 in the comparable quarter a year ago. Net loss available to common shareholders was $19,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, versus a net loss available to common shareholders of $679,000, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the fiscal 2005 quarter.

Revenue in the six-month period totaled $2.7 million versus $3.6 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2005. Net loss from operations was reduced to $35,000 as compared with $1.1 million in the comparable period last year. Net loss available to common shareholders was $62,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, at the six-month mark a year ago.

The reduced net loss for the second quarter and six-month period was principally due to lower salaries, wages, benefits and subcontractor costs, which were proportionately lower than the decline in revenue. Management attributed the decline in 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 within the GIS industry. The Company ended the second quarter with an order backlog of $1.4 million versus $4.0 million at the end of fiscal 2005.

Lori Jones, CEO, said, "Our focus within the GIS industry is to provide service and software solutions that produce higher margins than the traditional large-volume data conversion projects. We also continue to focus on our expansion into the oil and gas sector, with the goal of generating revenue and cash flow that provide returns to our shareholders well above those we can generate in our GIS business."
