Palladium Capital Advisors Exclusive Placement Agent for $2 Million Financing For Analytical Surveys, Inc.

Jun. 2, 2006:

tomb_analytical_1June 2, 2006: Analytical Surveys, Inc. (ASI) (Nasdaq SmallCap:ANLT.OB – News), a leading provider of utility-industry data collection, creation and management services for the geographic information systems (GIS) markets, announced today that it has secured a $2 million financing for the recently formed ASI Energy Division.

The Company issued a two-year $2 million note that earns interest at 14%, payable semi-annually. The lender received Class E Warrants to purchase 2,107,926 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $1.186, which was the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of closing. The warrants have a five-year term and are exercisable after six months from the date of closing. Net proceeds after expenses totaled approximately $1.765 million. Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC, acted as placement agent.

Until shareholders approve the terms of the Class E Warrants, no more than 752,072 shares may be issued pursuant to the transaction. Shareholders will be asked to approve a provision that will make the conversion price of the note equal to $0.95, which is a 20% discount to the fair market value of ASI’s Common Stock on the date of closing. Shareholders also will be asked to grant 1,053,96 five-year Class C Warrants exercisable after six months from the date of closing at $1.21, which is 102% of the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of closing, and grant 2,107,926 five-year Class D Warrants exercisable after six months from the date of closing at $1.36, which is 115% of the fair market value of ASI’s Common Stock on the date of closing. The Note and both the C and D Warrants will carry typical anti-dilution provisions that provide for additional issuance of shares if the Company issues additional Common Stock at a price lower than the conversion or exercise prices. Additional warrants equal to 8% of each of the Class C, D and E warrants, or a total of 421,585 warrants, were issued to the placement agent.

If shareholder approval is not obtained, the holder(s) may accelerate the maturity of the Note to four months after the Closing Date and call for its repayment on 30 days notice. Proceeds will be used to fund the Company’s Energy Division, including the development of its recent purchase of an 80- net-mineral-acre interest under a 640-acre drilling and spacing unit located in Oklahoma. The Company is participating in the drilling and completion of an initial well that will be operated by Range Resources Corporation (NYSE: RRC – News).

Lori Jones, CEO, said, “This is our first major foray into the exploration and production space and we are pleased to participate with well-known industry players. This financing represents the first major accomplishment of the Energy Division. We believe shareholders will benefit from this transaction, which, if shareholders approve, will increase our market capitalization. We also believe the anticipated benefits that could accrue from this opportunity will far exceed the effects of the resulting dilution.”
