Analytical Surveys Reports Year-End Results

SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Analytical Surveys, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANLT), a provider of utility-industry data collection, creation and management services for the geographic information systems (GIS) markets, today announced financial results for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2005.

Revenue for the fiscal year was $6.1 million compared with $11.6 million in fiscal 2004. The Company's operating loss totaled $3.3 million before interest and other expense as compared with an operating loss in fiscal 2004 of $2.1 million before interest and other expense. Net loss available to common shareholders was $3.3 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, versus $1.2 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, last year. Net loss in fiscal 2004 included a $1.5 million gain on the extinguishment of debt.

Lori Jones, CEO of ASI, said, "We continued to experience a decrease in revenue as a result of fewer active contracts in the fiscal 2005 period. Both the number and size of new contract signings in each of the past four fiscal years was lower than in previous years and, as a result, revenues have decreased as well." ASI ended fiscal 2005 with an order backlog of $4.0 million versus $6.5 million at the end of last year.

Ms. Jones continued, "As we recently reported, we are pursuing alternative business strategies that concurrently leverage our GIS expertise and diversify our operations. We are currently targeting specific objectives in the oil and gas sector and are encouraged by the prospects that are emerging."
