ANALYTICAL SURVEYS ANNOUNCES NASDAQ COMMUNICATION; INTENDS TO APPEAL DELISTING NOTICE

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - January 19, 2007 - Analytical Surveys, Inc. (ASI) (Nasdaq Capital Market: ANLT), today announced that on January 18, 2007, the Company received notice of a Nasdaq Staff Determination indicating that the Company has not regained compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) (the "Rule"), and as a result, the Company's common stock is subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

On July 21, 2006, Nasdaq notified the Company that the minimum bid price of its common stock had closed at less than $1.00 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, and, as a result, did not comply with the Rule. Therefore, in accordance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(8)(D), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until January 17, 2007, to regain compliance with the Rule. As the Company has failed to come into compliance with the Rule and has failed to meet the initial inclusion criteria set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c), the Company's common stock is subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

However, pursuant to applicable NASD Marketplace Rules, if the Company requests a hearing on the Nasdaq Staff's determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel by January 25, 2007, the delisting of the stock pending the Panel's review and determination will be stayed. The Company intends to request such a hearing. Hearings generally are held 30 to 45 days after the request. There can be no assurance that the Listing Qualifications Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing. If the Company is unsuccessful, the Company may appeal any adverse decision of the Panel to the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council. Any such appeal by the Company would not stay the ruling of the Listing Qualifications Panel. Should the stock be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company will consider alternatives to the Nasdaq listing.

ASI's Chief Executive Officer, Lori Jones, stated, "Nasdaq has raised important issues which we do not take lightly. Maintaining our listing on Nasdaq is an element of our strategy to return the Company to sustainable growth and increase stockholder value. We are taking appropriate initial measures to maintain our listing through the request for a hearing. We continue to build our Energy Division and to do what we believe is in the best interests of our shareholders. The hearing will give us the opportunity to fully inform Nasdaq of the current status of the Company, our plans for the future, and our views regarding our stock price. We intend to make a compelling presentation to the Listing Qualifications Panel to try to maintain our listing."
