SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Analytical Surveys, Inc. (ASI) , a San Antonio-based oil and gas company focused on participation in non-operating exploration and production of U.S. onshore oil and natural gas reserves, and formerly a service provider to the geographic information systems (GIS) markets, today announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006.
First quarter revenue was $243,000 versus $1.3 million in the same period a year ago. Net loss available to common shareholders was $337,000, or $0.09 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $43,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the first quarter last year. The lower revenue and higher net loss resulted from the Company's transition from a GIS service provider into an oil and gas company.
Lori Jones, CEO of ASI, said, "We successfully completed our GIS service contracts, which generated substantial cash flow during the quarter. We have kept our overhead to a minimum while we work to build a meaningful presence for our ASI Energy Division within the oil and gas industry. We are pleased by the progress we have made in this regard, and intend to build on this momentum throughout fiscal 2007."
The company also announced its decision not to acquire a non-operating working interest in the Texas gulf coast region as previously announced in a press release dated January 9, 2007. After significant due diligence, the Company has decided not to close on the purchase of a non-operating interest in 5 wells located in Liberty and Wharton counties, Texas.
Lori Jones, CEO of ASI said, "Although the pricing scenario and other pertinent data, including an in-depth engineering study, indicated the acquisition of the wells to be a viable purchase, the cost of capital required for financing the purchase would have made the transaction only marginally successful. We therefore have determined this transaction is not in the best interest of the Company or our shareholders at this time. However, we continue to pursue our conservative drilling program along with our operating partners, H&S Production and South Texas Operating Company as we look for other production acquisition opportunities."
Analytical Surveys, Inc., which has historically served the GIS markets, has recently transitioned its focus toward the development of oil and gas exploration and production opportunities. ASI's Energy Division is focused on high-quality exploratory and developmental drilling opportunities, as well as purchases of proven reserves with upside potential attributable to behind-pipe reserves, infill drilling, deeper reservoirs and field extension opportunities. ASI is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. For more information, visit http://www.asienergy.com/.
