ANALYTICAL SURVEYS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER
AND NINE-MONTH RESULTS
INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana -- Analytical Surveys, Inc., (ASI) (Nasdaq National
Market-ANLT), a provider of customized data conversion and digital mapping
services for the geographic information systems (GIS) market, today announced
results for its third quarter and nine-month period ended June 30, 2000.
Third quarter sales were $20.0 million as compared with $31.2 million in the
third quarter last year. The Company reported a net loss of $9.5 million, or
$1.36 per diluted share, versus net income of $2.0 million, or 28 cents per
diluted share, in last year's third quarter.
Through nine months, ASI reported gross sales of $62.3 million versus sales of
$88.6 million during the comparable period a year ago. Net loss was $15.5
million, or $2.26 per diluted share, versus net income of $4.8 million, or 67
cents per diluted share at the nine-month mark last year.
Management said the reduction in ASI's top-line results was partially
attributable to the decline in contract volume experienced during the second
half of fiscal 1999 and the second quarter of fiscal 2000. That decline was
believed to be the result of consolidation within the utility industry, Y2K
computer concerns, increased competition from companies with offshore operations
and most recently, customer concerns about the Company's financial situation. As
of June 30, 2000, backlog was $63.4 million as compared with $92.0 million as of
June 30, 1999.
The Company's on-going detailed review of open projects resulted in increases in
the estimated cost-to-complete in a significant number of contracts. For the
three months ended June 30, 2000, the resulting reduction of sales was $8.3
million and has been accounted for as a change in estimate based on refinements
of the estimating process of changing conditions and new developments. Contract
cost-to-complete adjustments totaling $1.6 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 represent errors identified in the Company's restatement of fiscal
1999 results. Management said that while it had previously announced that ASI
might restate previously reported financial figures, further analysis indicates
these adjustments should be incorporated in the current quarter.
Shortly after the close of the third quarter, ASI announced it had named Norman
Rokosh as the Company's new president and CEO. Rokosh joined ASI with a
background in the GIS industry, as well as considerable experience in leading
corporate turnarounds and restructuring efforts.

"We are finalizing our plans for corporate recovery initiatives. Our plan is to
implement these initiatives as soon as possible. We are pleased with the support
we have received from our employees, corporate lending team and investment
banker," Rokosh said. "Also, our finance team has completed the transition to a
new Company-wide financial accounting system. This system will greatly assist us
in closely monitoring our financial performance in the future."
In June, ASI announced it had retained Brean Murray and Co. as its investment
banker. The firm, which has helped orchestrate a number of transactions within
the GIS industry, is exploring possible strategic partnerships and private
equity financing options as well as potential buyer or merger partners. Earlier
this month, ASI also announced its Senior Lenders had extended to September 30,
2000, a Waiver Agreement related to the Company's bank credit facility. The
previous Waiver Agreement was due to expire on July 31, 2000.

2000, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern. The dial-in number is (719) 457-2645. Participants
