ANALYTICAL SURVEYS ANNOUNCES SALE OF WISCONSIN ASSETS TO RAMTECH
SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- August 24, 2006
_
Analytical Surveys, Inc. (ASI) (NASDAQ Capital Market: ANLT), today announced the sale of selected assets associated with its Geographic Information Systems (GIS) office in Waukesha, Wisconsin to RAMTeCH Software Solutions, Inc.
As part of the asset sale, ASI will transfer several ongoing GIS service contracts along with ownership of the hardware, software and other equipment necessary for the operation of the Wisconsin office. In addition, RAMTeCH will employ all of the people currently associated with the Wisconsin operation. Lori Jones, ASI's CEO said, "While this office has played a meaningful role within ASI, its sale provides us the opportunity to significantly reduce our operating costs and accelerate the collection of cash from operations as we refocus our efforts on the energy business. This transaction keeps intact the exceptional GIS expertise and capabilities that reside within the Wisconsin base of operations and enables RAMTeCH to maintain the high-quality service ASI's current and former GIS customers have come to expect".
Manish Sanwalka, president of RAMTeCH, said, "We are excited about acquiring the Wisconsin based GIS operations from ASI, as this adds on-shore capabilities to our service offerings to the utilities and telecommunications sectors. We have been performing services as a subcontractor on the majority of contracts that are being transferred; therefore we fully expect a seamless transition of the business with no interruption of service or other impact to these very important clients. We welcome the addition of the expertise and experience that the ASI team brings to RAMTeCH, and look forward to growing the business".
ASI will retain assets associated with its San Antonio corporate headquarters and certain contracts, which include the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) and pole inspection software and services contract with Utility Pole Technologies, Inc. (UPT) a division of Asplundh Tree Expert Company.
