Section 5.     CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers;
         Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal
         Officers

   On September 1, 2005, Analex issued a press release
announcing the appointment of C. Wayne Grubbs as Senior Vice
President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, effective
immediately. Mr. Grubbs replaces Judith N. Huntzinger, who
has been serving as interim Chief Financial Officer since
April 7, 2005.

   Mr. Grubbs has broad senior level financial management
experience in addition to a background in public accounting.
For the past seven years, he served as Vice President,
Corporate Controller, Treasurer and Assistant Corporate
Secretary with SRA International, Inc. (NYSE: SRX).  At SRA,
Mr. Grubbs was responsible for managing and developing the
finance and accounting organization to position the company
for growth.  He was part of the financial team that managed
SRA's growth from $200 million to an annual run rate of
almost $1 billion. His activities also included leading key
aspects of SRA's initial and follow-on public offerings,
directing due diligence and integration of acquired
companies, SEC reporting, and oversight of certain Sarbanes-
Oxley compliance activities.   Prior to SRA, he was a
manager in the government contract consulting and audit
practice of Arthur Andersen LLP, where he worked extensively
with major government contractors in the application of
generally accepted accounting principles, Federal
Acquisition Regulations, and Cost Accounting Standards.  Mr.
Grubbs graduated from the McIntire School of Commerce at the
University of Virginia and is a licensed CPA.

   Mr. Grubbs' employment agreement includes an annual base
salary of $250,000. Further, Mr. Grubbs will also be
eligible for an annual incentive bonus of up to $100,000
based on achieving 100% of pre-defined performance
objectives, which will be documented as part of a written
incentive plan. Mr. Grubbs will also receive a stock option
grant of 400,000 shares of Analex common stock and a grant
of 50,000 shares of restricted Analex common stock. The
stock options vest immediately but contain certain
restrictions on the sale of exercised options. The
restricted stock imposes constraints on the ability to sell
the shares and a forfeiture provision applicable if Mr.
Grubbs leaves the company during the four-year restriction
period.
