                      FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

          The financial statements for the Company's fiscal
quarter ended April 30, 2000 are attached to this Report,
commencing at page F-1.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          Except for historical information, the material
contained in this Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operation is forward-looking.  For the purposes of the safe
harbor protection for forward-looking statements provided by the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, readers are
urged to review the list of certain important factors set forth
in "Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor"
Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995" contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999, as amended ("Fiscal
1999"), which may cause actual results to differ materially from
those described.

BACKGROUND

          For over 20 years, TASA has served the rapidly
expanding educational market, primarily through the publishing
and sale of its highly-regarded proprietary reading tests.  Since
1994, management has implemented a strategy to broaden the
Company's services within the education marketplace.  As a
result, the Company has completed four acquisitions since 1997,
and now serves three education markets:  (1) educational
assessment and evaluation, (2) educational instruction, and (3)
educational delivery.

          Prior to 1997, the Company's revenues were derived from
the publishing and distribution of its proprietary line of
reading tests.  In the fiscal year ending October 31, 1997
("Fiscal 1997"), the Company acquired Beck Evaluation and Testing
Associates, Inc. ("BETA"), which operates as the Company's custom
test design division.  In the same fiscal year, the Company
organized Modern Learning Press, Inc. ("MLP"), which purchased
substantially all of the assets of Programs for Education, Inc.,
and marked the Company's entrance into the instructional
marketplace.   MLP designs, publishes and distributes four
affordable "consumable" student workbook series that target
grades K-4, and creates and publishes books and pamphlets for
elementary school teachers and parents.  Also in Fiscal 1997, the
Company purchased the Maculaitis Assessment of Competencies test
(the "Maculaitis Test"), which is a comprehensive language
assessment and evaluation program for English as a second
language.  In its fiscal year ended October 31, 1998 ("Fiscal
1998"), the Company organized a subsidiary, TASA Educational
Services Corp. ("TESC"), to operate and acquire post-secondary
schools.  TESC completed its first acquisition in the educational
delivery field in November 1998 through its acquisition in
November 1998 of the 750-student Mildred Elley Schools.

          Accordingly, in an effort to report revenues in a more
meaningful manner, the Company has segregated revenues into three
discrete segments: (1) assessment products revenues, (2) instructional
revenues and (3) educational delivery revenues.  All prior
periods have been recharacterized into these three segments for
comparative purposes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          The following table compares the revenues for each of
the assessment division, the instructional division and the
educational delivery division for the six-month period ended
April 30, 2000 versus the six-month period ended April 30, 1999,
and for the second quarter ended April 30, 2000 versus the second
quarter ended April 30, 1999.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2000 VERSUS APRIL 30, 1999

          REVENUES. For the three-month period ended April 30,
          --------
2000 (the "Current Quarter"), revenues were $3,354,221,
representing a 18% increase, or $510,416, over $2,843,805 for the
three-month period ended April 30, 1999 (the "Comparable
Quarter").

          Revenues for assessment products and services increased
11%, or $112,224, to $1,146,454 in the Current Quarter from
$1,034,230 in the Comparable Quarter. Of this increase, the
Company's proprietary test division featuring DRP products
reflected a revenue decrease of 43% as a result of declining
volume of sales in New York State due to the phase out of the
PEP/DRP test previously administered in the third and sixth
grades. The custom test design division, BETA, increased its
revenues by 54% in the same period. This growth is consistent
with the Company's strategic planning. Management believes
significant future growth will be realized through the custom test
design division. During the quarter, the Company announced that
it had secured a five-year million-dollar contract from Minnesota
to provide reading, writing and mathematics assessment items in
Grades 3, 5, and 8. BETA currently has more than $3 million of
contracted future business.

          Instructional revenues increased 10% in the Current
Quarter from the Comparable Quarter (or $409,630 in the Current
Quarter versus $371,631 in the Comparable Quarter). This increase
is a result of the Company's reorganization, increased marketing
efforts and a new independent sales organization, which management
believes will contribute to increased future growth of the
instructional division.

          The educational delivery division increased 25% in the
Current Quarter versus the Comparable Quarter, (or $1,798,137 in
the Current Quarter versus $1,437,944 in the Comparable Quarter).
This increase can be attributed to two factors: additional deferred
revenue of approximately $162,000 recognized during the Current Quarter
resulting from the Company's recent modification of its revenue
recognition policy as it relates to the educational delivery
revenues; and greater student census.

          COST OF GOODS SOLD.  Cost of goods sold in the Current
          ------------------
Quarter increased 23%, or $235,126, from $1,005,402 in the
Comparable Quarter to $1,240,528 in the Current Quarter. Cost of
goods sold as a percentage of revenues increased from 35% to 37%
due to a change in product mix, primarily within the assessment
division. The Company's proprietary products, which typically
carry lower costs, decreased in volume while its custom test design
services, which typically carry higher costs, increased significantly.

          GROSS PROFIT.  In the Current Quarter, gross profit
          ------------
increased by 15%, or $275,290, from $1,838,403 in the Comparable
Quarter to $2,113,693 in the Current Quarter. The increase in
gross profit is attributable to an increase in revenues resulting
in the Quarter. The gross profit margin percentage decreased
marginally in the Current Quarter to approximately 63% from 65%
in the Comparable Quarter.

          SELLING EXPENSES.  Selling expenses for the Current
          ----------------
Quarter were essentially flat with a minimal increase of $14,213,
from $560,356 in the Comparable Quarter to $574,569 in the
Current Quarter. However, for the Current Quarter, selling
expenses were 17% of revenues versus 20% for the Comparable
Quarter.

          GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  The Company's
          -----------------------------------
general and administrative expenses increased 26%, or $293,964,
from $1,149,997 in the Comparable Quarter to $1,443,961 in the
Current Quarter. General and administrative expenses were 43% of
revenues in the Current Quarter versus 40% in the Comparable
Quarter. This dollar and percent increase was primarily
attributable to management's decision to continue to build the
Company's infrastructure at both the corporate and operating
divisional levels.

          INCOME FROM OPERATIONS.  Income from operations for the
          ----------------------
Current Quarter was $95,163 versus $128,050 in the Comparable
Quarter.  The $32,887 decline was primarily due to increased general
and administrative expenses.

          EBITDA.  Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
          ------
and amortization increased $42,063 to $379,363 in the Current
Quarter from $337,300 in the Comparable Quarter.  As a percentage
of sales, EBITDA decreased marginally to 11% in the Current
Quarter versus 12% in the Comparable Quarter.  The overall
increase in EBITDA dollars can be attributable to the increase in
revenues during the Current Quarter.

          OTHER (EXPENSE).  Other (expense) increased to
          ---------------
($194,661) in the Current Quarter from ($145,371) in the
Comparable Quarter.  This increase was primarily attributable to
a decline in income earned on temporary investments and
marketable securities.

          (LOSS) BEFORE INCOME TAXES.  The Company had a loss
          --------------------------
before income taxes of ($99,498) for the Current Quarter versus a
loss of ($17,321) for the Comparable Quarter.  This loss is
primarily attributable to the increase in general and administrative
expenses.

          NET (LOSS) AND (LOSS) PER SHARE.  Net loss after taxes
          -------------------------------
was ($73,506) for the Current Quarter versus a loss of ($9,347)
for the Comparable Quarter.  Loss per share was ($.03) based on
weighted average shares outstanding of 2,493,759. The Comparable
Quarter loss per share was ($.00) based upon 2,141,801 shares
outstanding.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2000 VERSUS APRIL 30, 1999

          REVENUES.  For the six-month period ended April 30,
          --------
2000 (the "Current Period") revenues were $4,919,588,
representing a 5% decrease, or $280,344 versus $5,199,932 for the
six-month period ended April 30, 1999 (the "Comparable Period").
The overall decrease was due to declines in both the Company's
assessment and education delivery divisions.

          Revenues for assessment products and services decreased
10%, or $214,973, from $2,077,865 in the Comparable Period to
$1,862,892 during the Current Period.  Revenues from the
Company's proprietary test division, featuring DRP products, fell
29% due to the expected elimination of the New York State Grades
3 and 6 PEP tests as well as a change in timing for the delivery
of the New York State Regents Competency Tests.  This decrease
was offset by growth in the Company's custom test design
division, BETA, which posted a revenue increase of 42%.

          Instructional revenues increased 17% in the Current
Period, totaling $671,452, which is $97,920 over the Comparable
Period's revenues of $573,532. This increase is the result of the
Company's reorganization, increased marketing efforts, and a new
independent sales organization, which management believes will
contribute to increased future growth of the instructional
division.

          Revenues from the Company's educational delivery
division decreased 6% or $163,291, to $2,385,244 from $2,548,535
in the Comparable Period. This decrease can be attributed to the
Company's modification of its revenue recognition policy as it
relates to the educational delivery revenues and less than
satisfactory recruiting and retention of students during the
first quarter of the Current fiscal year.

          COST OF GOODS SOLD.  Cost of goods sold in the Current
          ------------------
Period increased by 7%, or $135,291, from $1,971,978 in the
Comparable Period to $2,107,269 in the Current Period.  Cost of
goods sold as a percentage of revenues increased to 43% in the
Current Period from 38% in the Comparable Period.  This increase
was the result of the increased costs required to deliver
assessment products and services further resulting from the
increase in BETA revenues, and the costs associated with
generating revenues from the educational delivery division.

          GROSS PROFIT.  For the Current Period, gross profit
          ------------
decreased by 13%, or $415,635, from $3,227,954 in the Comparable
Period, to $2,812,319.  The decrease in gross profit is primarily
attributable to a decline in revenues. The gross profit margin
decreased in the Current Period to 57% versus 62% in the
Comparable Period as a result of the Company's change in product
mix particularly within the assessment division.

          SELLING EXPENSE.  Selling expenses for the Current
          ---------------
Period increased by 2%, or $21,620, from $1,105,715 in the
Comparable Period to $1,127,335 in the Current Period.  As a
percentage of revenues, selling expenses were 23% for the Current
Period versus 21% of revenues for the Comparable Period.

          GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. The Company's general and
          --------------------------
administrative expenses increased 19%, or $404,669, from
$2,183,855 in the Comparable Period to $2,588,524 in the Current
Period. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues are now 53% in the Current Period versus 42% in the
Comparable Period.  Again, the dollar and percentage increases
are due to management's decision to continue to build the
infrastructure of the organization.

          (LOSS) FROM OPERATIONS.  Loss from operations for the
          ----------------------
Current Period was ($903,540) versus a loss from operations of
($61,616) in the Comparable Period.  This increased loss was
principally due to the fact that the Company now generates almost
two thirds of its revenues in the second half of its fiscal year
and has significant fixed costs that fall evenly throughout
the year.

          EBITDA.  Earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation,
          ------
and amortization decreased ($781,151) to ($381,433) in the
Current Period from $399,718 in the Comparable Period.  As a
percentage of sales, EBITDA decreased to (8%) in the Current
Period versus 8% in the Current Period versus 8% in the
Comparable Period.  This percentage decrease is essentially
attributable to the decrease in revenues from both the Company's
assessment and educational delivery divisions coupled with a
lower gross profit margin resulting from a change in product mix
within the assessment division.

          OTHER (EXPENSE).  Other (expense) increased to
          ---------------
($374,741) in the Current Period versus ($278,103) in the
Comparable Period. The increase is primarily attributable to a
decline in income earned on temporary investments and marketable
securities.

          (LOSS) BEFORE INCOME TAXES.  The Company had a loss
          --------------------------
before taxes of ($1,278,281) for the Current Period versus a loss
before taxes of ($339,719) in the Comparable Period, which was
primarily due to increased overhead and cost of goods sold.

          NET (LOSS) AND (LOSS) PER SHARE.  Net loss after taxes
          -------------------------------
was ($829,379) for the Current Period versus a loss of ($209,704)
for the Comparable Period. Loss per share was ($.36) based on
weighted average shares outstanding of 2,314,866.  The Comparable
Period loss per share was ($.10) based upon 2,141,801 shares
outstanding.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          WORKING CAPITAL.  Working capital at the end of the
          ---------------
Current Period was $1,798,064, down from $3,079,573 at the
beginning of the current fiscal year. The $1,281,509 decline is
primarily due to an increase in borrowings on the Company's bank
line of credit and a significantly lower EBITDA.  These two
factors reduced cash and temporary investments during the Current
Period.  The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was
1.6 to 1.0 at the end of the Current Period.  Approximately 4% of
the Company's current assets at the end of the Current Period
consisted of cash and short-term investments, while accounts and
tuition receivables, inventories and prepaid expenses comprised
the balance.

          CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES.  For the Current

During the first quarter of the current fiscal year, Cahill
Warnock Strategic Partners Fund, L.P. ("CWSPF") and Strategic
Associates, L.P. ("SA") agreed to subordinate their debentures to
other potential indebtedness to be incurred by the Company in
exchange for the repricing of their warrants to $1.125 per share,
the market value of the Company's common stock on that date.  In
February 2000, CWSPF and SA exercised an aggregate of 417,652
warrants for $469,859.  The proceeds from the exercise were used
to reduce the principal balance of the subordinated debentures.

NOTE 5 - ISSUANCE OF STOCK OPTIONS

In February 2000, the Company issued options to employees to
purchase an aggregate 73,275 shares of its common stock pursuant

In April 2000, the Company granted options to directors, pursuant
to the Company's Directors Option Plan, to purchase an aggregate
of 7,500 shares each at an exercise price of $3.188 per share,
representing the market value at the date of grant.

NOTE 6 - LINE OF CREDIT

In March 2000, the Company obtained an additional line of credit
totaling $750,000 from a bank.  Borrowings under the line of credit
accrue interest at the bank's prime rate plus one percent and the
line expires on April 1, 2001.  The line is collateralized by the
Company's accounts receivable (excluding those receivables
associated with the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary TASA

financial covenants. Borrowings under this new line aggregated
$525,000 as of April 30, 2000.
