                                  PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

        Touchstone Applied Science Associates, Inc. (the "Company" or
"TASA") now competes exclusively in the assessment marketplace.
With the advent of No Child Left Behind legislation ("NCLB"), the
Company's Board of Directors and management made the strategic
decision to refocus the organization on the fast-growing assessment
segment of the K-12 education market.  During the Company's fiscal
year ended October 31, 2003 ("Fiscal 2003"), TASA sold both its
post-secondary proprietary school, Mildred Elley (originally
acquired by TASA in fiscal 1999), and Modern Learning Press, its
supplemental instructional materials subsidiary (originally
acquired by TASA in fiscal 1997).  Revenues were $11.2 million
for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 ("Fiscal 2004"),
and $11.7 million for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005
("Fiscal 2005"). Over the past ten years, assessment revenues have
increased from $2.1 million to $11.7 million, representing a
compounded annual growth rate of approximately 15%.

        The Company competes in both the custom and proprietary
segments of the assessment marketplace.  Over the past decade, this
market has been moving towards custom testing as a result of NCLB
legislation requiring that student success be measured against
specific standards established by each individual state.  The
Company has recognized this trend and has repositioned its
proprietary unit to take advantage of changes in the market.  As
such, during Fiscal 2005, the Company decided to bid on state
contracts that call for the printing, distributing, scanning,
scoring and reporting of custom testing programs.

        The Company has continued to develop and market its
proprietary products and services.  The Company's proprietary products
and services are currently part of major testing programs in Connecticut,
New York, Missouri, Rhode Island, Indiana, Arkansas and Idaho.

        The Company's custom services grew from one unit in the prior
year to three separate units in 2005.  The Company's wholly owned
subsidiary, Beck Evaluation & Testing Associates, Inc. ("BETA")
was acquired in 1997.  BETA performs "custom services" for state
education agencies as well as for other test publishers.

        In January 2005, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
stock of Assessment and Evaluation Concepts Inc. ("AEC"), a firm
with experience and relationships in the educational assessment field,
which complements the Company's experience and relationships.  The
purchase price of $122,000 paid by the Company consisted of $83,000 in
cash and the issuance of 12,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company.

        On July 1, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of all
of the outstanding stock of Achievement Data, Inc. ("ADI").  ADI
provides on-line testing capabilities to state testing programs and
also offers an electronic testing engine.  The total consideration
paid by the Company for the ADI stock was $1,650,000, consisting of
$1,155,000 in cash, the issuance of 89,488 shares of Common Stock
of the Company (valued at approximately $331,650, based on the average
of closing prices for the Company's Common Stock for the five trading
days preceding the closing) and $163,350 in subordinated promissory
notes issued to two of the former stockholders of ADI.

        These three custom assessment units now account for more than
65% of the Company's revenues.

        TASA's corporate headquarters are located at 4 Hardscrabble
Heights, P.O. Box 382, Brewster, New York 10509.  The Company's
telephone number is (845) 277-8100 and its facsimile number is
(845) 277-3548.  The Company maintains a website at www.tasa.com.
Information contained on the Company's website is not, and should
not be deemed to be, incorporated into this Report.  As used in
this Report, the terms "Company" and "TASA" refer to Touchstone
Applied Science Associates, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the
context otherwise indicates.

        Except for historical information, the material contained in
this Description of Business 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" below, which may cause actual results to differ materially
from those described.

      This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-KSB/A includes the restated
audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years
ended October 31, 2005 and 2004, which supersede the Company's
previously issued audited consolidated financial statements for
such fiscal years. This Amendment No. 1 also includes related
changes to the disclosures in "Management Discussion and Analysis
or Plan of Operation".  See Note 1 to the accompanying audited
consolidated financial statements. Except as otherwise specifically
noted, all information contained herein is as of October 31, 2005
and does not reflect any events or changes that have occurred
subsequent to that date. For the convenience of readers, this
Amendment No. 1 restates in its entirety the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2005
and 2004.


PROPRIETARY ASSESSMENT PRODUCTS AND RELATED SERVICES

        The bulk of the Company's proprietary test revenues came from
two tests in Fiscal 2005.  The Degrees of Reading Power tests (DRP)
and the MAC II, which is a comprehensive English language
assessment and evaluation program.

        The DRP tests are published in three versions: Primary,
Standard and Advanced.  These tests measure an individual student's
reading ability in a non-culturally biased manner and allow
tracking of an individual's reading development over time.  The DRP
test is used to evaluate approximately 4 million students per year
and is part of the state testing programs in Connecticut and New York.

        The Maculaitis Test, or MAC II, is used as a comprehensive
English assessment and evaluation program.  The MAC II is currently
authorized for use in New Jersey, Illinois, Florida and Wisconsin.
In 2005, the MAC II was part of the state mandated programs in
Rhode Island, Missouri and Arkansas.

        In 2005, the Company developed several additional proprietary
tests that will move it into the formative assessment category.
One program, Reading Power Essentials, or RPE, was launched in the
fall of 2005 and another program called SSSMART is expected to be
available in the winter of 2007.  In addition, the Company launched
an electronic version of its DRP test in the fall of 2005.

        During the past fiscal year, the Company's proprietary unit
has responded to trends in the K-12 assessment business.  TASA
determined that its "factory", namely the ability to print,
distribute, scan and score assessment materials, had significant
value.  As a result, the Company increased its bidding activities
for fulfillment-type projects and secured the Idaho English-as-a-
Second-Language state-wide program.  Additionally, we expanded our
Indiana Core 40 end-of-year high school assessment program and, as
previously reported, expanded our business with RALLY! Education and
Harcourt Achieve.

        All of the above services are reported under Proprietary
Assessment Revenue.

CUSTOM TEST PRODUCTS AND RELATED SERVICES

        BETA provides consulting services to states, school districts
and textbook publishers.  BETA's business is approximately equally
divided between work for states and work for publishers.  Since its
acquisition by TASA in January 1997, BETA has concentrated on
increasing its test assessment and design services to states.  This
effort has been successful, and BETA now provides its test
development and/or psychometric services to state customers in
Delaware, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Texas,
Virginia, Washington and Wyoming.  In Fiscal 2003, BETA was awarded a
$7.5 million contract from the State of Michigan to develop an alternative
assessment test for special education students.  In January 2004,
BETA was notified that such contract has been extended through
September 2007.  The total value of this contract over its term is
$13,900,000.

        BETA's custom assessment services are provided to states
either directly or indirectly, typically through three of the
largest commercial contractors in the contract/customized
assessment markets, NCS Pearson, Harcourt, and Measurement, Inc.
Generally, the business strategy of BETA is to provide these
specialized services for major state contracts as a subcontractor,
primarily for assessment or psychometric services and actual test
design and development.  The prime contractor typically provides
for all the printing, logistics, warehousing, scoring and reporting
services necessary to complete state contracts.  In addition to
various assessment activities related to state assessment programs,
BETA provides test development and program evaluation services to
major textbook companies and other assessment developers.  The Company
reports revenues from BETA's operations as Custom Assessment Income.

        In January 2005, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
stock of AEC for $122,000 consisting of $83,000 in cash and 12,000 shares
of the Company's Common Stock.  In addition, options to purchase 50,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock were granted pursuant to the 2000
Stock Incentive Plan on the date of the closing exercisable at $3.06
per share.  The options are exercisable commencing one year from the
closing, through January 2015.  In addition, the Company entered
into two-year employment agreements with the two officers of AEC.
Pursuant to the agreements, the officers of AEC are entitled to a
base salary and bonuses determined by the attainment of certain
performance goals.  As of October 31, 2005, goodwill totaling $118,074
was recorded as a result of the acquisition.

        On July 1, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of all
of the outstanding stock of ADI.  ADI provides on-line testing capabilities
to state testing programs and also offers an electronic testing engine.
The total consideration paid by the Company for the ADI stock was $1,650,000,
consisting of $1,155,000 in cash, the issuance of 89,488 shares of Common
Stock of the Company (valued at approximately $331,650, based on the average
of closing prices for the Company's Common Stock for the five trading
days preceding the closing) and $163,350 in subordinated promissory
notes issued to two of the former stockholders of ADI.  The
promissory notes bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum and are
payable in six semi-annual installments of principal plus interest.
As of October 31, 2005, goodwill totaling $1,653,309 was recorded as a
result of the acquisition.

        In connection with the acquisition of ADI, the Company entered
into a loan agreement with its bank, pursuant to which the Company
borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $1,200,000, almost all of
which was used to pay the purchase price for the shares of ADI and
closing costs for the transaction, with the balance being retained
by the Company for working capital.  Borrowings under the loan
incur interest at the rate of 6.25% per annum.  Interest only
payments are due for the first year, and thereafter monthly
payments of principal and interest of $23,339 through July 2011.
The promissory note contains several financial covenants with
respect to which the Company was in compliance as of October 31,
2005.

        The Company has been integrating the operations of AEC and ADI
into its operations generally since the respective acquisitions of
such companies.

MARKETING

        The Company markets its assessment products and services as
follows:

        *  Sales of secure tests to large-scale users (such as
   state education departments) are conducted directly by the
   Company's staff.  This includes making presentations and
   negotiating contracts and license agreements.

        *  Sales of the Company's products and services as
   described in the Company's catalogs are made primarily through
   direct mail campaigns to elementary school, secondary school
   and college markets.  The Company also exhibits its products at
   educational trade shows and advertises in trade journals.

        *  The Company's staff and its independent consultants
   provide presentations and in-service workshops supporting the
   Company's products.

        *  The Company's proprietary unit hired three senior
   sales executives who are now responsible for deepening
   penetration of proprietary products and services as well as
   selling its full range of custom assessment services.

        *  Sales of custom-designed testing and consulting are
   accomplished via bidding processes and attendance at
   professional meetings.

        The Company sells its assessment products on a contract or
purchase order basis in accordance with a published price list.
Depending upon the contract or the purchase order, the Company
sells its products on a net 30-day or other contractual terms.  The
Company does not offer extended credit terms to its customers.
Historically, bad debts with respect to its assessment products
have not been material.

COMPETITION

        Success in the educational industry will be based on
technological superiority, service, product support, the
availability of patent protection, access to adequate capital,
the ability to successfully develop and market products and
processes and the ability to obtain government approvals.  Although
there is intense competition in the industry and there are both
domestic and foreign companies which may be deemed dominant
competitors, the Company believes that the features of its products
coupled with its ability to provide quality services will permit
the Company to compete successfully in its designated marketplace.

        The Company is subject to competition from various sources.
The Company's principal competition comes from established for-
profit and non-profit companies in the testing business and testing
departments within certain states and school districts, all of
which are considerably larger and have greater financial and human
resources and marketing capabilities.  Competition may also come
from education publishers who include reading comprehension tests
with their instructional materials and companies that distribute
reading motivation programs.

        Although there are a number of for-profit firms that develop,
publish, market, and distribute educational tests, the market is
dominated by three firms:  CTB/McGraw-Hill, Lake Forest, Illinois,
and Monterey, California; Harcourt, San Antonio, Texas; and The
Riverside Publishing Company, Chicago, Illinois.  As large, well-
established publishers of educational tests and related products
and services, these firms are considered strong competitors of the
Company.

        There are a number of non-profit organizations that develop,
publish and distribute educational tests.  For example, the
American College Testing Program (ACT), Iowa City, Iowa; American
Council on Education (ACE), Washington, DC; and Educational Testing
Service (ETS), Princeton, New Jersey.  In addition, there are
various organizations that sponsor educational tests even though
they do not have the technical capability to produce tests.  For
example, The College Board, New York, New York, sponsors the SAT
which is developed for The College Board by ETS.  All of these non-
profit organizations have, or have access to, the capability to
develop, publish and distribute tests to schools.  Currently, ACT,
The College Board, and ETS publish one or more educational tests
for the school market.

        There are a number of for-profit and non-profit organizations
that provide test design, production and consulting services to
states under contract.  For example, National Evaluation Systems
(NES), Amherst, Massachusetts; and Pearson Educational Measurement,
Iowa City, Iowa; are among the for-profit firms that supply test
development, printing, distribution, and scoring services to
individual states under contract.  Among the non-profit
organizations, Measured Progress, Inc. (Dover, New Hampshire), ACT
and ETS have conducted such contract work for states and ETS is the
current contractor for the National Assessment of Educational
Progress.  By enabling states to have tests developed and
administered to their own specifications, these for-profit and non-
profit organizations compete indirectly with the Company's
assessment division.  In terms of size alone, these firms have
greater marketing capability and resources than does the Company.

EMPLOYEES

        As of October 31, 2005, the Company employed a total of 73
employees, of which 64 work on a full-time basis, and 9 work on a
part-time basis.  Of the 73 employees, 20 are engaged in research
and/or test development, 32 are in operations, 11 are in executive
capacities and 10 are in marketing.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

        The NCLB legislation bodes well for TASA.  NCLB provides
funding of approximately $26 billion.  Almost half of that amount
is for Title I funding, which requires schools that use a portion
of this funding to evaluate student progress in reading.

        NCLB also provides almost one-half billion dollars for annual
testing in reading and math; Title III allows for three-quarters of
a billion dollars for bilingual and immigrant education and almost
one billion dollars for early language literacy.  The following
chart illustrates that TASA is strategically positioned to take
advantage of the funding opportunities under NCLB:

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

        The Company completed the sale/lease-back of its 30,000
square-foot headquarters building in Brewster, New York in July
2003.  The building was constructed in 1987, with the second phase
completed in 1991.  In July 2003, the Company sold its headquarters
building to 26 Palmer LLC for $2,875,000.  The building and related
improvements had a net book value of $1,458,481.  The Company
reported a pre-tax gain on the sale totaling $1,254,383, net of
closing costs totaling $162,136.  The Company then signed a ten-
year triple net lease for the building.  The cost per square foot
is $10.50 for the July 2003/June 2004 period and increases each
year thereafter.  The final year of the lease has a rental cost of
$13.69 per square foot.  As a result of the sale/leaseback, the
gain will be recognized over the ten-year term of the lease as
other income.  Proceeds from the sale of the building were used to
repay debt, to increase the Company's working capital and to fund
the expansion of its scanning and scoring facility.  In the fall of
2003, the Company completed an expansion of this scanning and
scoring facility at a cost of approximately $250,000.  This
facility is now four times the capacity of the prior facility and
will accommodate new growing business in this area.

        BETA rents a small office facility in Austin, Texas, which
affords good proximity to the Texas Education Agency.  Because of
increased business and personnel in Austin, effective November
2004, BETA increased that office space from 500 to 1,100 square
feet in the same complex.  The Company made the decision to open
the office in Texas because of the volume of business in that
state.

        ADI rents approximately 4,400 square feet of office space in
downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota.  This space is used for offices,
conference rooms, workstations and houses its project management
personnel.

        The Company expends its resources for capital improvements as
necessary.

        During the first quarter of Fiscal 2006 (through January
25, 2006), the Company's Common Stock had a high closing price of
$4.20 and a low closing price of $3.75.

        The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares, par value
$.0001 per share, of preferred stock. The stock may be issued by
the Board of Directors of the Company in one or more series and
with such preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers
and other provisions as may be fixed by the Board of Directors in
the resolution authorizing its issuance without any further action
of the stockholders.  There are no shares of preferred stock
outstanding.  The Company's Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq
Electronic Bulletin Board.

        In September 2004, the Company issued to Signal Hill Capital
Group LLC ("Signal Hill") a five-year warrant to purchase up to
20,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, at an exercise price
of $2.96 per share.  The warrant was issued in consideration of
strategic consulting services that Signal Hill has provided and has
agreed to provide to the Company.  Neither the warrant nor the
underlying shares of Common Stock have been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in
reliance upon the exemption from registration pursuant to Section
4(2) of the Securities Act.

        As of January 25, 2006, there were 66 holders of record of the
Company's Common Stock.  This number of holders of record does not
include beneficial owners of the Company's Common Stock, whose
shares are held in the names of various security holders, dealers
and clearing agencies.  The Company believes that the number of
beneficial owners of its Common Stock held by others or in nominee
names exceeds approximately 600 in number.  The Company has not
paid any cash dividends, and does not anticipate doing so in the
immediate future as it intends to invest any earnings in the
development of the Company's business.

        The following table describes the equity securities of the
Company issuable as of October 31, 2005 pursuant to the Company's
equity compensation plans.  The Company has four equity
compensation plans, each of which has been approved by the
stockholders of the Company:  (1) the Amended and Restated 1991
Stock Incentive Plan (under which no further incentive awards may
be made); (2) the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan; (3) the Amended and
Restated Directors Stock Option Plan, and (4) the Consultants Stock
Incentive Plan.  For a description of each of the Company's equity

COMPANY BACKGROUND

        For over twenty-eight years, TASA has served the rapidly
expanding education market, primarily through the publishing and
sale of its highly regarded proprietary reading tests.  In Fiscal
2002 and again in Fiscal 2003, the Company determined that its core
business was assessment.  It believed that this category provides
better long-term growth and profit potential than either the
proprietary school business or the supplemental instruction
segment.  Consequently, during the second fiscal quarter of Fiscal
2002, the Company reached a decision to sell its proprietary
school, and in the third quarter of Fiscal 2003, the Company
reached the decision to sell its supplemental instruction materials
business, Modern Learning Press.  Consequently both of these
segments have been reported as discontinued operations.  See
"Discontinued Operations" below.  TASA revenues from the assessment
segment in Fiscal 1994 were $2.1 million, and have increased by
acquisition and internal growth to $11.7 million in Fiscal 2005.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The assessment business has two units; proprietary products
and services, and custom test development and related services.
The following table sets forth the revenues in each of these units
and the annual percentage change for each of these units for Fiscal
2005, 2004 and 2003:

FISCAL 2005 AS COMPARED TO FISCAL 2004

        REVENUES.  The Company's revenues from continuing operations
        --------
for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 were $11,686,649,
representing a 4.5% increase, or $501,395, from $11,185,254, for
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.  The overall increase was
attributable to growth in the custom testing arena.

        Revenues for assessment products and services, through the
Company's proprietary tests unit, decreased 11.3%, or $504,173,
from $4,480,954 in Fiscal 2004 to $3,976,781 in Fiscal 2005.  As
NCLB continues to role out, test publishers are seeing decreases in
their proprietary tests.  The Company is seeing similar declines.
These declines resulted from a shift to more custom testing as
required by NCLB. However, these declines have been partially offset by
increases in printing, distribution, scanning and scoring of third party
assessment programs.

        Revenues from the Company's custom testing unit, increased by
$1,005,568, or 15%, during the same period, to $7,709,868 in Fiscal
2005 from $6,704,300 in Fiscal 2004.  This increase was primarily
due to the expansion of the Company's core capabilities with the
acquisition of AEC and ADI as well as a modest increase in BETA
revenues due to the shift to custom testing as discussed above.

        COST OF GOODS SOLD.  Cost of goods sold increased by 3.4% or
        ------------------
$194,569 from $5,795,758 in Fiscal 2004 to $5,990,327 in Fiscal
2005.  As a percentage of revenue, cost of goods represented 52% of
revenues in Fiscal 2004 and 51% of revenues in Fiscal 2005.  The
Company believes this nominal increase is a positive achievement since,
in general, the delivery of custom assessment services has a higher cost
than delivery of proprietary services.  The mix of custom to proprietary
products and services increased from 60% in Fiscal 2004 to 66% in
Fiscal 2005.

        GROSS PROFIT.  The Company's gross profit for Fiscal 2005
        ------------
increased by $306,826, or 5.7%, from $5,389,496 in Fiscal 2004 to
$5,696,322 in Fiscal 2005.  The gross profit margin was 49% in
Fiscal 2005 and 48% in Fiscal 2004.

        SELLING EXPENSES.  The Company's selling expenses increased by
        ----------------
$154,109, or 12.1%, from $1,278,178 in Fiscal 2004 to $1,432,287 in
Fiscal 2005.  Selling expense is 12% of revenues in Fiscal 2005
versus 11% in Fiscal 2004.  Selling expenses increased due to the
Company's ongoing restructuring of its sales and marketing
organization to increase revenues in future years.

        GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  The Company's general and
        --------------------------
administrative ("G&A") expenses for Fiscal 2005 increased $783,726,
or 27.5%, from $2,853,372 in Fiscal 2004 to $3,637,098 in Fiscal
2005.  G&A expense as a percentage of revenues is 31% in Fiscal 2005
versus 26% in Fiscal 2004. Almost half of the increase relates to the
G&A expenses associated with the evaluation and implementation of
internal controls necessary to achieve compliance with Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  Increased professional fees with
respect to new regulatory requirements and interior restructuring
expenses also include the Company's hiring of a new Chief Operating
Officer for its proprietary unit.  Further, the infrastructure component
of G&A costs increased as a result of the acquisitions of AEC and ADI
completed during Fiscal 2005.

        INCOME FROM OPERATIONS.  Income from operations decreased by
        ----------------------
$631,009, or 50% from $1,257,946 in Fiscal 2004 to $626,937 in
Fiscal 2005.  The decrease in income is primarily due to increases
in selling, scoring and administrative expenses.

        EBITDA FROM OPERATIONS.  Earnings before interest, taxes,
        ----------------------
depreciation and amortization on the Company's operations were
$1,305,945 for Fiscal 2005 versus $1,845,572 for Fiscal 2004. The
decline in EBITDA from operations is a direct result of the decline
in income from operations.

        EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be used
as a substitute for the directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
In order to facilitate an understanding of the components of EBITDA
and their effect on the results of operations, the following table
is provided as a reconciliation of reported income from operations
to EBITDA from operations.

                          EBITDA From Operations

                                   Fiscal 2005            Fiscal 2004
                                   -----------            -----------

Income from Operations             $  626,937             $1,257,946
Depreciation & Amortization        $  679,008             $  587,626
EBITDA from Operations             $1,305,945             $1,845,572

        OTHER INCOME.  Net other income decreased from $123,503
        ------------
in Fiscal 2004 to $101,370 in Fiscal 2005.  Other income is positively
affected by the gain on the sale/leaseback of the building, offset by
interest expense associated with the acquisition of ADI, as well as
capital equipment to expand our capabilities.  In Fiscal 2005 and 2004,
the Company recognized a gain of $125,439 from the sale/leaseback of
its corporate headquarters.

        INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE.  The Company had net income of
        -----------------------------
$802,441 in Fiscal 2004 versus net income of $432,529 in Fiscal 2005.

        The Company had diluted earnings per share of $0.28 in Fiscal
2004 versus diluted earnings per share of $0.14 in Fiscal 2005.

        The diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 2,870,327
in Fiscal 2004 versus 3,023,262 in Fiscal 2005.

FISCAL 2004 AS COMPARED TO FISCAL 2003

        REVENUES.  The Company's revenues from continuing operations
        --------
for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 were $11,185,254,
representing a 14.6% increase or $1,423,616 over $9,761,638 for the
fiscal year ended October 31, 2003.  The overall increase was
primarily attributable to internal growth of the Company's custom
testing unit.

        Revenues for assessment products and services, through the
Company's proprietary tests unit, increased 1.2%, or $52,654, to
$4,480,954 in Fiscal 2004 from $4,428,300 in Fiscal 2003.  The
increase in proprietary testing revenues was mitigated because, in
Fiscal 2003, TASA received contracts from two states relating to
Reading First Grants.  These grants did not repeat in 2004.

        Revenues from BETA, the Company's custom testing unit,
increased by $1,370,900, or 25.7%, during the same period, to
$6,704,300 in Fiscal 2004 from $5,333,400 in Fiscal 2003.  This
increase is a function of executing on several multi-year contracts
as well as the award of new assignments during the year.  Our
ability to acquire multi-year contracts allows BETA to continue to
build its revenue stream.

        COST OF GOODS SOLD.  Cost of goods sold increased by 14.2% or
        ------------------
$720,610 from $5,075,148 in Fiscal 2003 to $5,795,758 in Fiscal
2004.  As a percentage of revenue, cost of goods was flat and
represented 52% of revenues for both Fiscal 2003 and Fiscal 2004.
We are pleased with this statistic since, in general, the delivery
of custom assessment services has a higher cost than delivery of
proprietary services.  The mix of custom to proprietary products
and services increased from 55% in Fiscal 2003 to 60% in Fiscal 2004.

        GROSS PROFIT.  The Company's gross profit for Fiscal 2004
        ------------
increased by $703,006, or 15.0%, from $4,686,490 in Fiscal 2003 to
$5,389,496 in Fiscal 2004.  The gross profit margin was 48% in both
Fiscal 2004 and Fiscal 2003.

        SELLING EXPENSES.  The Company's selling expenses decreased by
        ----------------
$175,012, or 12%, from $1,453,190 in Fiscal 2003 to $1,278,178 in
Fiscal 2004.  Two events that contributed to this decline were:  a
disproportionate amount of spending by the Company in Fiscal 2003
to jump-start marketing activities associated with NCLB and a
number of revenue activities in Fiscal 2004 that were not subject
to sales commissions.

        GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  The Company's general and
        --------------------------
administrative expenses for Fiscal 2004 increased $508,515, or
21.7%, from $2,344,857 in Fiscal 2003 to $2,853,372 in Fiscal 2004.
Almost 56% of the increase in G&A expense is due to the lease on
the company building.  In July 2003, the Company entered into a
sale-lease back on its corporate headquarters.  Therefore, during
Fiscal 2004, the Company had lease expense for the full year versus
four months of lease expense in Fiscal 2003.  Additionally, because
of strong performance in Fiscal 2004, approximately 15% of the
increase in G&A expense is represented by performance bonuses in
excess of those awarded in Fiscal 2003. Also, during Fiscal 2003,
the Company recorded for the first time an accrual for unused
employee vacation of $155,539.  The carry forward accrual in Fiscal
2004 increased by $33,602, this increase was charged to G&A expense.

        INCOME FROM OPERATIONS.  Income from operations increased by
        ----------------------
$369,503, or from $888,443 in Fiscal 2003 to $1,257,946 in Fiscal
2004.  The increase in income is due to increased revenues,
partially offset by higher cost of sales.

        EBITDA FROM OPERATIONS.  Earnings before interest, taxes,
        ----------------------
depreciation and amortization on the Company's operations were
$1,845,572 for Fiscal 2004 versus $1,493,753 for Fiscal 2003.
EBITDA has been adversely affected by the sale leaseback of the
Company's building.

        EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be used
as a substitute for the directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
In order to facilitate an understanding of the components of EBITDA
and their effect on the results of operations, the following table
is provided as a reconciliation of reported income from operations
to EBITDA from operations.

                          EBITDA From Operations

EBITDA from Operations             $1,845,572             $1,493,753


        OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) FROM OPERATIONS.  Net other income
        --------------------------------------
(expense) decreased from ($362,127) in Fiscal 2003 to $123,503 in
Fiscal 2004.  Other income is positively affected by the gain on
the sale/leaseback of the building as well as a reduction in
interest expense, net interest expense.  In Fiscal 2004, the
Company recognized a gain of $125,439 from the sale/leaseback
transaction, compared to $41,813 recognized in Fiscal 2003.  The
decrease in interest expense in Fiscal 2004 was primarily due to a
reduction in interest expense from the repayment of the Company's
subordinated debt.  In Fiscal 2004, the Company's only interest
expense coincided with a capital loan to finance equipment
partially offset by excess cash in an interest-bearing money market
account.

        INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE.  Combining income from both
        -----------------------------
continuing and discontinued operations, the Company had net income
of $442,210 in Fiscal 2003 versus net income of $802,441 in Fiscal
2004.

        For Fiscal 2003, the Company had diluted earnings per share of
$0.17, versus diluted earnings per share of $0.28 in Fiscal 2004.
Diluted earnings from continuing operations were $0.10 per share in
Fiscal 2003, as compared to $0.28 in Fiscal 2004.

        The diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 2,661,014
in Fiscal 2003 versus 2,870,327 in Fiscal 2004.

LIQUIDITY AND WORKING CAPITAL

        WORKING CAPITAL.  Working capital increased by $53,706 during
        ---------------
Fiscal 2005 from $2,792,810 at October 31, 2004 to $2,846,516 at
October 31, 2005.  This increase resulted primarily from the
increase in cash and accounts receivable.  A portion of the increase
in accounts receivable is attributable to the timing of invoices sent
by BETA shortly before the end of Fiscal 2005.  In addition, accounts
receivable increased from the acquisitions of AEC and ADI.  The ratio of
current assets to current liabilities was approximately 2.54 to 1.0 at
the end of the Fiscal 2004 versus 2.02 to 1.0 at the end of Fiscal 2005.

        CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES.  During Fiscal 2005, the
        -----------------------------------
Company had net cash provided by operating activities of $550,575,
as compared to $1,581,615 in Fiscal 2004.  The decrease in cash
provided by operating activities resulted primarily from lower net
income combined with a significant increase in accounts receivable.

        CASH FLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES.  During Fiscal 2005, the
        -----------------------------------
Company had net cash used in investing activities of $2,599,677 as
compared to $921,655 used in investing activities for Fiscal
2004.  The increase in cash used in investing activities during
Fiscal 2005 was primarily the result of the acquisitions of ADI and
AEC.  Cash was used to purchase fixed assets and to develop test products
totaling $1,198,327 in Fiscal 2005 and $921,655 in Fiscal 2004.


        CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES.  The Company had net cash
        -----------------------------------
provided by financing activities of $1,587,245 for Fiscal 2005 as
compared to $128,092 provided by financing activities for Fiscal
2004. The cash provided by financing activities in Fiscal 2005
resulted primarily from equipment financing in connection with the
purchase of equipment to expand the Company's scanning and scoring
facilities, proceeds from financing used in the acquisition of ADI
and proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants.

        During Fiscal 2005, options to purchase 42,500 shares of the
Company's Common Stock were exercised resulting in proceeds totaling
$28,990. Also during Fiscal 2005, warrants to purchase 138,047
shares of common stock were exercised resulting in proceeds of
$155,303.  During Fiscal 2004, options to purchase 24,250 shares of
the Company's Common Stock were exercised resulting in proceeds
totaling $17,195.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

        The preparation of financial statements and related
disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes.
Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the
allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories, capitalized labor for
long-lived assets, income taxes and loss contingencies. Management
bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Actual results could differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions.

        The Company believes the following critical accounting
policies, among others, may be impacted significantly by judgment,
assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the
Consolidated Financial Statements:

        *  Revenues from the Company's sales of its proprietary
   tests, including sales of the related ancillary materials, are
   recognized when the Company ships the physical product from
   its warehouse.  The Company's revenues from performance of
   assessment consulting and psychometric services under long-
   term contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion
   basis pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Position No.
   81-1, "Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and
   Certain Production-Type Contracts" and Accounting Research
   Bulletin No. 45, "Long-Term Construction-Type Contracts".  For
   each contract, the Company compares the costs incurred in the
   course of performing such contract during a fiscal period to
   the total estimated costs of full performance of the contract,
   and recognizes a proportionate amount of revenue for such period.

        *  Deferred tax assets are recorded based on the
   Company's projected future taxable income and the resulting
   utilization of the deferred tax assets. To the extent that the
   Company would not be able to realize all or part of its
   deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the
   deferred tax assets would be necessary and charged to income.

        *  The process of writing and calibrating a test passage
   takes approximately two years, and all costs associated with
   the process are capitalized during this period. Amortization of
   these costs begins once the development period has elapsed,
   which in most cases, represents the point in time at which the
   new test passage is placed into the test passage bank and
   becomes available to be utilized within the Company's existing
   tests, or the point in time at which a newly developed test
   becomes available for sale.  Costs capitalized in connection
   with the development of passages used in the Company's DRP Test
   have been estimated to have a useful life of eleven years and,
   accordingly, are being amortized over an eleven-year period.
   Such amortization costs are included in the costs of goods sold
   in that period.  Costs capitalized in connection with the development
   of passages used in all other of the Company's tests have been
   estimated to have a useful life of seven years and, accordingly,
   are being amortized over a seven-year period.  If these estimates
   of the useful lives of test passages prove to be shorter periods,
   the Company would be required to accelerate the amortization of
   these passages, resulting in a reduction in income.

        *  In July 2003, the Company sold its headquarters
   building to 26 Palmer LLC for $2,875,000.  The building and
   related improvements had a net book value of $1,458,481.  The
   Company reported a gain on the sale totaling $1,254,383, net
   of closing costs totaling $162,136.  The building was then
   leased by the Company under a ten year lease agreement.  As a
   result of the sale-leaseback of the building, the gain will be
   recognized over the ten-year term of the lease as other income
   during the relevant period.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON
        ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

        None.


ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

         (a) Evaluation of the Company's Disclosure Controls and
Procedures.  As of the end of the most recent fiscal year covered
by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, the Company evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of its "disclosure
controls and procedures" ("Disclosure Controls"), and its "internal
controls and procedures for financial reporting" ("Internal
Controls").  This evaluation (the "Evaluation") was done under the
supervision and with the participation of management, including Mr.
Andrew Simon, the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and
Chief Financial Officer ("CFO").  Rules adopted by the SEC require
that in each periodic report filed pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company
presents the conclusion about the effectiveness of the Company's
Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls based on and as of the
date of the Evaluation.

         Disclosure Controls are procedures that are designed with the
objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in
our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Annual
Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the rule and forms.  Disclosure Controls
are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such
information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's
management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow for
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Internal Controls
are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing
reasonable assurance that (1) the Company's transactions are
properly authorized; (2) the Company's assets are safeguarded
against unauthorized or improper use; and (3) the Company's
transactions are properly recorded and reported, all to permit the
preparation of our financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

         The Company's management does not expect that the Company's
Disclosure Controls or our Internal Controls will prevent all
errors and all fraud. Any control system, no matter how well
conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that
there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must
be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent
limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can
provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of
fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in
decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because
of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be
circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion
of two or more people, or by management override of the control.
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon
certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and
there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving
its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time,
control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedure may
deteriorate.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-
effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may
occur and not be detected.

         The Evaluation included a review of the controls' objectives
and design, the controls' implementation by the Company and the
effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this
Annual Report. In course of the Evaluation, we sought to identify
data errors, controls problems or acts of fraud and to confirm that
appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, were
being undertaken.  This type of evaluation will continue to be done
on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions concerning controls
effectiveness can be reported in each Quarterly Report on Form 10-
QSB and the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.  The Company's Internal
Controls are also evaluated on an ongoing basis by the Company's
finance personnel and by the Company's independent auditors in
connection with their audit and review activities.  The overall
goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor the
Company's Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls and to make
modifications as necessary; it is the Company's intent in this
regard that the Disclosure Controls and the Internal Controls will
be maintained as dynamic systems change (including improvements and
corrections) as conditions warrant.

         Among other matters, the Company sought in the Evaluation to
determine whether there were any "significant deficiencies" or
"material weaknesses" in the Company's Internal Controls, or
whether the Company had identified any acts of fraud involving
personnel who have a significant role in the Company's Internal
Controls.  This information was important both for the Evaluation
generally and because items 4, 5 and 6 in the Section 302
Certification require that the CEO and CFO disclose that
information to the Board's Audit Committee and to the Company's
independent auditors and to report on related matters in this
section of the Annual Report.  In the professional auditing
literature, "significant deficiencies" are referred to as
"reportable conditions"; these are control issues that could have a
significant adverse effect on the ability to record, process,
summarize and report financial data in the financial statements.  A
"material weakness" is defined in the auditing literature as a
particularly serious reportable condition where the internal
control does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that
misstatements caused by error or fraud may occur in amounts that
would be material in relation to the financial statements and not
be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal
course of performing their assigned functions.  The Company also
sought to deal with other controls matters in the Evaluation, and
in case a problem was identified, we considered what revision,
improvement and/or correction to make in accordance with on-going
procedures.

         An Evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with
the participation of the Company's management, including the CEO
and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or
15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the fiscal year
covered by this Annual Report.  Based upon that Evaluation, the
Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, had concluded at
that time that the design and operation of these Disclosure
Controls and Internal Controls were effective as of the end of the
fiscal year covered by such reports.

         However, based on a subsequent evaluation in Fiscal 2005
the Company now believes that it did not have adequate personnel and
technical resources with respect to accounting for the sale-leaseback
of the Company's headquarters in July 2003.  As a result, the gain from
the sale-leaseback was originally recognized in its entirety in the third
fiscal quarter of 2003, during which the sale-leaseback occurred.
After consulting with the Company's independent registered public
accountants during Fiscal 2005, management concluded that such gain
should have been recognized over the ten-year term of the lease.
On May 24, 2005, the Company concluded that the Company should
restate its audited consolidated financial statements for the
fiscal years ended October 31, 2003 and 2004, and its quarterly
unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended
July 31, 2003, January 31, 2004, April 30, 2004, July 31, 2004, and
January 31, 2005.  Such restatements do not affect the Company's
revenues from operations for any of these periods.  These
restatements reflect the correction in the Company's accounting for
the sale-leaseback transaction.

         Additionally, during the course of Fiscal 2006 the Company
identified a previously unrecorded liability for employee's earned
but unused vacation. The Company's written policy has been to allow
employees who have earned vacation hours as a result of their
employment to carry forward a limited amount of the unused vacation
at each fiscal year end. When an employee terminates employment
with the Company the value (based upon an employee's daily pay
rate) of any earned but unused vacation is paid by the Company in
the form of a cash payment to the former employee. This carry
forward provision within the Company's employee benefits policy
creates a future accrued liability that according to Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") should be valued and
recorded as a liability of the Company during each fiscal reporting
period.  As a result, the Company has recorded a liability of
$259,866 and $189,141 for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2005
and 2004, respectively. The recording of this liability results in
a reduction of net income before tax of $70,725 and $33,602 for
fiscal years ended October 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  On
January 16, 2007 the Company concluded that the Company should
restate its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years
ended October 31, 2005 and 2004 however the financial impact of a
change in unused vacation liability to the Company's un-audited
consolidated financial statements for any individual quarter end
during Fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003 is immaterial and no restatement
is deemed necessary. Such restatements of the annual financial
statements do not affect the Company's revenues from operations for
any of these periods. The restatements result in the inclusion of a
previously unrecorded liability for employee's earned but unused
vacation on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and the
recording of the related G&A expense on the Consolidated Statements
of Income.

         As of the end of Fiscal 2004 and Fiscal 2005,
the Company's management, including the CEO, concluded that,
because the Company had not separated the CEO and CFO functions, the
Company's Disclosure Controls were not effective at the end of such
fiscal year to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the
Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in SEC rules and forms.  Subsequently, in June 2006, the
Company hired a CFO thus separating the responsibility from the CEO
function.

         (b) Changes in Internal Controls.  There were no changes in
the Company's Internal Controls in the Company's fourth fiscal quarter
that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Company's Internal Controls.

addition, any options outstanding under the Amended Plan, which
expire after the adoption of the 2000 Plan, are added to the number
of shares available under the 2000 Plan.  The terms of the 2000
Plan are substantially identical to the terms of the Amended Option
Plan, except for provisions with respect to the number of shares
which may be issued under the 2000 Plan and the expiration date of
the 2000 Plan.  At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on April
29, 2005, the stockholders approved an amendment to the 2000 Plan
increasing by 200,000 the number of shares eligible to be issued
pursuant to the 2000 Plan.

        Each of the Amended Option Plan and the 2000 Plan
(collectively, the "Option Plans") is administered by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee").
Subject to the terms of the Option Plans, the Committee is
authorized to select optionees and determine the number of shares
covered by each option and certain of its other terms.  The
exercise price of stock options granted under the Option Plans may
not be less than the fair market value of the Company's Common
Stock on the date of the grant.  In general, options become
exercisable after the first anniversary of the date of grant.  Effective
for options granted under the 2000 Plan in Fiscal 2006 and thereafter,
such options will become exercisable in three equal annual installments
following the grant date.  The period within which any stock option
may be exercised cannot exceed ten years from the date of grant.  Options
held by a terminated employee expire three months after termination
except in the event of death, disability or termination for cause.
No one participant may receive, in any one fiscal year, awards under
the Option Plans which would entitle the participant to receive more
than 50,000 shares.

        The following table summarizes the options granted, exercised
and cancelled or expired under the Amended Option Plan and the 2000
Option Plan during the preceding three fiscal years:

        calculated net of exercise price of the options.

DIRECTORS COMPENSATION

        The Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Directors
Plan in February 1996 in order to aid the Company in attracting,
retaining and motivating independent directors, which Directors
Plan was approved by the stockholders of the Company on March 29,
1996.  The Directors Plan initially authorized awards up to an
aggregate of 25,000 shares of Common Stock.  In February 2000, the
Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Directors Plan
increasing to 75,000 the number of shares which may be the subject
of stock options under the Directors Plan.  The stockholders of the
Company approved such amendment at the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders on March 31, 2000.  At the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders held on April 29, 2005, the stockholders approved
amendments to the Directors Plan to increase by 75,000 the number
of shares eligible to be issued pursuant to the Directors Plan and
to extend the expiration date of the Directors Plan from March 2006
to April 30, 2010.  Under the Directors Plan, non-qualified stock
options to purchase up to 150,000 shares of Common Stock may be
granted to non-employee directors of the Company, which options are
granted automatically at the times and in the manner stated in the
Directors Plan.

        Subject to the terms of the Directors Plan, each non-employee
director receives 5,000 options on the day he (she) first is
elected to the Board of Directors, and 2,500 options on the date of
each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company, provided he
(she) is re-elected to the Board of Directors.  The exercise price
of stock options granted under the Directors Plan is the fair
market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant.
The options become exercisable after the first anniversary of the
date of grant and the term of the option cannot exceed ten years.
Effective for options granted under the Directors Plan in Fiscal 2006
and thereafter, such options will become exercisable in three equal
annual installments following the grant date.  On April 25, 2003, the
Company granted 10,000 options under the Directors Plan; on April 30,
2004, the Company granted 15,000 options under the Directors Plan, and
on April 29, 2005, the Company granted 12,500 options under the Directors
Plan.  In Fiscal 2005, 2,500 options under the Directors Plan were exercised.
As of October 31, 2005, an aggregate of 76,875 options were outstanding
under the Directors Plan.

        Directors receive no compensation, other than the options
pursuant to the Directors Plan, for services in such capacity.

OTHER PLANS

        CONSULTANTS STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN.  In March 1997, the Board of
        --------------------------------
Directors of the Company adopted the Consultants Plan, pursuant to
which options to purchase up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock may
be granted to consultants to the Company. The Consultants Plan is
administered by the Board of Directors of the Company.  Subject to
the terms of the Consultants Plan, the Board is authorized to
select optionees and determine the number of shares covered by each
option and certain of its other terms.  In general, the exercise
price of stock options granted under the Consultants Plan is the
fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of the
grant; however, the Board has the discretion to use another method
of valuation if it determines that such other valuation is
warranted.  In general, options become exercisable six months from
the date of grant, although the Board has discretion to set either
longer or shorter vesting periods.  The period within which any
stock option may be exercised cannot exceed ten years from the date
of grant.  If a consultant's association with the Company is
terminated prior to the end of its agreed term, all unexercised,
deferred and unpaid awards shall be canceled immediately, except in
the event of the Consultant's death or disability.  As of October
31, 2005, 7,500 options were outstanding under the Consultants
Plan.

        PROFIT SHARING PLAN. The Company has a qualified 401(k) Profit
        -------------------
Sharing Plan.  For fiscal years ended before November 1, 2000, the
401(k) Plan allowed eligible employees to contribute up to 15
percent (15%) of income through Company contributions and a salary
reduction mechanism.  Company contributions to the 401(k) Plan are
optional and accrue at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
Effective November 1, 2000, the Company amended the 401(k) Plan to
provide a matching component under the 401(k) Plan of up to five
percent (5%) of each eligible employee's compensation.  In
addition, the eligibility requirements were amended to provide that
an employee is not eligible until completing twelve months, or one
thousand hours, of employment, and may only enter the 401(k) Plan
at specified entry dates.

        MONEY PURCHASE PENSION PLAN.  In October 1991, the Company
        ---------------------------
adopted a Money Purchase Pension Plan, which has been qualified by
the Internal Revenue Service.  Under this Plan, for fiscal years
ended before November 1, 2000, the Company was required to make an
annual contribution to the Plan equal to ten percent (10%) of each
eligible employee's compensation.  Effective November 1, 2000, the
Company amended the Plan to exclude highly compensated employees
and to reduce the contribution to five percent (5%) of each
eligible employee's compensation.  In addition, the eligibility
requirements were amended so that an employee is not eligible until
completing twelve months, or one thousand hours, of employment, and
may only enter the Pension Plan at specified entry dates.

        For Fiscal 2005, 2004, and 2003, the Company's retirement
costs totaled $262,723, $238,107, and $197,998, respectively.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

        Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires
the Company's directors, executive officers and persons who own
beneficially more than ten percent of the Company's outstanding
common stock to file with the SEC initial reports of beneficial
ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of common
stock and other securities of the Company on Forms 3, 4 and 5, and
to furnish the Company with copies of all such forms they file.
Based on a review of copies of such reports received by the
Company, all of the Company's directors and officers timely filed
all reports required with respect to Fiscal 2005.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

        In November 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of
the assets of Mildred Elley.  The Company financed the acquisition
through the issuance of debentures, with warrants attached,
pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities
Purchase Agreement"), with the Cahill, Warnock Entities.  Pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company:  (i) issued and
sold to the Cahill, Warnock Entities 8% Debentures due 2003 (the
"Debentures"), dated October 28, 1998 (the "Purchase Closing
Date"), in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000, (ii)
issued and sold to the Cahill, Warnock Entities, as additional
consideration for purchasing the Debentures, the Warrants to
acquire an aggregate of 690,229.5 shares of the Company's Common
Stock, which, on the Purchase Closing Date, constituted 20% of the
Company's issued and outstanding common stock on a fully diluted
basis, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated in the
Securities Purchase Agreement and (iii) authorized the issuance and
sale in the future to the Cahill, Warnock Entities of additional
shares of the Company's Common Stock upon the Company's exercise of
a put option, the terms and conditions of which are set forth in
the Securities Purchase Agreement.  The exercise price of the
Warrants upon issuance was $1.40 per share of Common Stock, subject
to certain antidilution adjustments set forth in the Warrants.  On
December 3, 1999, in exchange for the Cahill, Warnock Entities'
consent, among other things, to subordinate the Debentures to
certain financing the Company was seeking to obtain in connection
with the implementation of the Company's strategic plan and
pursuant to a Consent, Agreement and Amendment, dated as of
December 3, 1999, among the Company and the Cahill, Warnock
Entities, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a
repricing of the Warrants to an exercise price of $1.125 per share
of Common Stock, subject to the same antidilution adjustments
referred to above.  On October 1, 2002, the Company and the Cahill
Warnock Entities agreed to an extension of the maturity date of the
Debentures from October 28, 2003 until February 1, 2004.  Using a
portion of the proceeds from the sale of MLP and the sale/leaseback
of the Company's headquarters building, both of which occurred in
Fiscal 2003, the Company prepaid the outstanding Debentures in the
fourth quarter of Fiscal 2003.  A portion of the Warrants held by
the Cahill, Warnock Entities expired at the end of Fiscal 2003. The
Cahill Warnock Entities exercised its remaining 138,047 warrants
outstanding in December 2004 (after the end of Fiscal 2004),
resulting in additional paid-in capital to the Company of $155,303.

        Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement between the Company
and the Cahill, Warnock Entities, the Company has agreed that so
long as the Cahill, Warnock Entities own at least 50% of the
Warrants (or if the Warrants have been exercised, the shares issued
pursuant thereto), the Cahill, Warnock Entities shall have the
right to nominate two directors to the Board of Directors of the
Company.  David L. Warnock and Donald W. Hughes are the current
directors who were nominated by the Cahill, Warnock Entities.
Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the directors and
executive officers have agreed, at each meeting of stockholders for
the purpose of electing directors, to cast their eligible votes in
favor of the nominees of the Cahill, Warnock Entities.

        Pursuant to the acquisition of AEC in January 2005, the
Company issued 12,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to the
former stockholders of AEC in a transaction not involving a public
offering pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.  This Registration Statement is
being filed pursuant to the Company's agreement to register such
shares under the Securities Act.

        Pursuant to the acquisition of ADI in July 2005, the Company
issued 89,488 shares of the Company's Common Stock to the former
stockholders of ADI who had elected to receive shares, in whole or
in part in lieu of cash, in a transaction not involving a public
offering pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.  This Registration Statement is
being filed pursuant to the Company's agreement to register such
shares under the Securities Act.

        One of the Company's directors, Steven R. Berger, is a
shareholder in Vedder, Price, Kaufman & Kammholz, P.C.  The Company
has retained Vedder, Price, Kaufman & Kammholz, P.C. as its special
securities counsel, and the Company paid an aggregate of $200,710
and $59,351 in legal fees and expenses to Vedder Price in Fiscal
2005 and Fiscal 2004, respectively.

          REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To The Board of Directors
Touchstone Applied Science Associates, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Brewster, NY


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Touchstone Applied Science Associates, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of
October 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of
income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the
three fiscal years ended October 31, 2005.  These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Touchstone Applied Science Associates, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of
October 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the three fiscal years ended October 31, 2005 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the
accompanying 2005 and 2004 financial statements have been restated.

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
---------------------------------------------------------

Organization
------------

Touchstone Applied Science Associates, Inc. (the "Company")
develops, publishes and distributes a proprietary line of tests
specifically to meet clients' measurement specifications to
elementary and secondary schools, colleges and universities
throughout the United States.  The remainder of the Company's
continuing operations is comprised of Beck Evaluation & Testing
Associates, Inc. ("BETA"), Assessment & Evaluation Concepts, Inc.
("AEC") (effective January 2005) and Achievement Data, Inc.
("ADI") (effective July 2005), companies which design, develop
and evaluate assessment needs for schools, school districts and
test and textbook publishers throughout the United States.  The
Company's instructional segment was comprised of Modern Learning
Press, Inc. ("MLP").  Substantially all the assets of MLP were
sold in July 2003 (Note 2).  The Company's educational delivery
segment was comprised of TASA Educational Services Corporation
("TESC"), and MESI Acquisition Corp. ("Elley"), the assets of
which were sold in June 2003 (Note 2).

The Company was originally incorporated in the State of New York
in 1976.  In August 1991, the Company changed its corporate
domicile to Delaware by merger into a Delaware corporation
created exclusively for that purpose.

The Company operates through different subsidiaries, but
management believes that all such subsidiaries constitute a
single operating segment since the subsidiaries have similar
economic characteristics.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
-----------------------------------------------------

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, BETA, ADI, AEC,
MLP, TESC and Elley.  All material intercompany transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.  Due to the sale of
assets of Elley, TESC and MLP, the operations of the instructional
and educational delivery segments have been reflected as
discontinued operations (Note 2).  MLP and TESC were dissolved
in Fiscal 2004, and Elley was dissolved in Fiscal 2005.

Restatement
-----------

The audited consolidated financial statements included in this
Report for the Company's fiscal years ended October 31, 2005 and
2004, have been restated and supersede the Company's previously-
issued audited consolidated financial statements for such fiscal
years. See subsequent disclosure in Note 1 regarding Accrued
Expenses.

Goodwill
--------

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141,
"Business Combinations", which applies to all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001, and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets", effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001.  Under the rules, the pooling of interests
method of accounting for acquisitions is no longer allowed and
goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives
will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual
impairment tests in accordance with the Statements.

The Company applied the rules for goodwill and other intangible
assets beginning in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending
October 31, 2003.  The Company performed the first of the
required impairment tests of goodwill as of November 1, 2002
and performed the annual tests at October 31, 2005 and 2004,
and has determined there to be no impairment of the
remaining goodwill on those dates.  The net carrying value of
goodwill at October 31, 2005 is $198,159 for BETA, $118,074 for
AEC and $1,653,309 for ADI.  The net carrying value of goodwill
at October 31, 2004 was $198,159 for BETA.

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
---------------------------------------------------------

Cash and Temporary Investments
------------------------------

Cash and temporary investments include all cash balances on hand
and short-term, highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable
-------------------

Accounts receivable consists of the following:


                                             October 31,
                                        ---------------------
                                        2005             2004



        Billed                       $2,559,630       $1,526,559
        Unbilled (costs in excess
          of billings)                  327,285               --
                                     ----------       ----------

                                     $2,886,915       $1,526,559
                                     ==========       ==========

Management expects that the unbilled accounts receivable will be
collected; therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts has
been recorded on this balance.  Allowance for doubtful accounts
of $2,683 and $4,417, at October 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively,
is based on prior collection experience and pertain to billed
accounts receivable.

Inventories
-----------

Inventories based on the nature of the Company's operations
consist solely of finished goods.  These are stated at the lower
of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

Property, Plant and Equipment
-----------------------------

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.  The Company
provides for depreciation generally on an accelerated method
(double-declining balance) for personal property and on the
straight-line method for real property, by charges to income at
rates based upon estimated recovery periods as follows:

    Building (until its sale)                   31-1/2 years
    Building improvements (until its sale)      15 to 31-1/2 years
    Leasehold improvements                      10 years (shorter of lease
                                                  term or useful life)
    Furniture, fixtures and equipment            5 to 7 years

Income Taxes
------------

The Company has elected to file a consolidated Federal income
tax return with its subsidiaries. The Company's deferred income
taxes arise principally from the net operating losses and other
timing differences.  Income taxes are reported based upon
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes".  (Note 12).

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

---------------------------------------------------------

Intangible Assets and Deferred Charges
--------------------------------------

Software Development
--------------------

The Company accounts for costs associated with the development
of software products pursuant to SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for the
Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed".
Pursuant to these rules for product development, the work
performed prior to the determination of technological
feasibility is treated as research and development costs and is
expensed as incurred.  From the point a project obtains
technological feasibility until it is ready for sale, the
payroll and payroll-related charges and any direct material
costs are capitalized.  Capitalization of computer software
costs is discontinued when the product is available to be sold.

As of October 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, unamortized software
development costs totaled $60,243, $84,939 and $243,655,
respectively, and were included as a component of other assets
within the Company's consolidated balance sheets.


Test Passage Bank and Test Development
--------------------------------------

The test passage bank is principally comprised of payroll and
payroll-related costs as well as freelance consulting costs
expended in the development of test passages which are used in
the creation of the Company's tests.  The process of writing
and calibrating a test passage takes approximately two years,
and all costs associated with the process in the cost of
production of each test passage and the cost of calibration of
each test passage are direct costs and are capitalized during
this period. Amortization of these costs begins once the
development period has elapsed, which in most cases, represents
the point in time at which the new test passage is placed into
the test passage bank and becomes available to be utilized
within the Company's existing tests, or the point in time at
which a newly developed test becomes available for sale.  Costs
capitalized in connection with the development of passages used
in the Company's Degrees of Reading Power Test ("DRP") have
been estimated to have a useful life of eleven years and,
accordingly, are being amortized over an eleven-year period.
Costs capitalized in connection with the development of
passages used in all other of the Company's tests have been
estimated to have a useful life of seven years and,
accordingly, are being amortized over a seven-year period.  On
October 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company tested the test passage bank
and test development costs for potential impairment using the
discounted cash flow method.  At that time, the Company deemed
no impairment had occurred.


Amortization
------------

Certain capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line
method over a period of five (5) years for software development
and seven to eleven (7-11) years for test passage bank and test
development costs.  Loan origination costs (Note 8) are being
amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the
indebtedness.  As of October 31, 2005, unamortized loan
origination costs totaled $11,231.  Amortization expense from
continuing operations totaled $491,142, $486,274, and $522,584,
for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003,
respectively.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
---------------------------------------------------------

Estimated amortization expense for the next five years is as
follows:

Year ending October 31,
      2006                      $480,327

      2010                      $132,345


Other Liabilities
-----------------

As of October 31, 2005, other liabilities consist of a customer
advance in the amount of $294,068 and billings in excess of costs
in the amount of $22,921.  As of October 31, 2004, billings in excess
of costs amounted to $62,316.

Accrued Expenses
----------------

Accrued expenses consist of the following:

Accrued Employee Vacation
-------------------------

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's audited consolidated
financial statements in its Form 10-KSB for the fiscal years
ended October 31, 2005 and 2004 the Company concluded that it
had previously omitted an accrued liability recognizing the effect
of its employee's earned but unused vacation and that such omission
was not consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company concluded that it was necessary to restate such
financial statements. The restatement does not affect previously
reported revenues for the restated period or future periods.

A summary of the significant effects of the restatement is as
follows:

</TABLE>

Concentration of Credit Risk
----------------------------

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and
temporary investments and accounts receivable.  The Company
maintains substantially all its cash balances and temporary
investments in a limited number of financial institutions.  The
balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation up to $100,000.  At October 31, 2005 and 2004, the
Company's uninsured cash balances and temporary investments
totaled $1,102,081 and $1,551,086, respectively.  The Company
performs periodic reviews of the relative credit rating of its
banks to lower its risk.  The Company believes that
concentration with regards to accounts receivable is limited
due to its large customer base.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
---------------------------------------------------------

Revenue Recognition
-------------------

Revenues from the Company's sales of its proprietary tests,
including sales of their related ancillary materials and
performance of scoring services are recognized when the
Company ships the physical product from its warehouse or when
the revenues have been realized or become realizable and have
been earned pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104,
"Revenue Recognition".  Shipping charges are included in
revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
The Company's revenue from the performance of assessment,
consulting and psychometric services under long term contracts
are recognized on the percentage of completion basis pursuant
to the provisions of Statement of Position No. 81-1,
"Accounting for Performance of Construction-type and Certain
Production-type Contracts" and Accounting Research Bulletin
("ARB") No. 45, "Long-term Construction-type Contracts".  For
each contract, the Company compares the costs incurred in the
course of performing such contract during a reporting period
to the total estimated costs of full performance of the
contract and recognizes a proportionate amount of revenue for
such period.  In addition, the Company records revenue from
software pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Position
No. 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition", and in the
Statement of Position No. 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2,
Software Revenue Recognition With Respect to Certain Transactions".

Rights of Return
----------------

There is a right of return on test booklets, answer sheets and
certain software products. Upon return within a specified
period, a credit is issued, with certain chargeoffs, or, in the
case of software products, the item is replaced.  Historically,
the Company's returns have been insignificant.  As a result, no
reserve has been provided.

Use of Estimates
----------------

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
make disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

Fair Value
----------

The Company has a number of financial instruments, none of which
is held for trading purposes.  The Company estimates that the
fair value of all financial instruments at October 31, 2005 and
2004 does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying
values of these financial instruments recorded in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  The carrying value of
cash and temporary investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable
and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short-
term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying value of long-
term debt approximates fair value as the rate of interest on the debt
approximates the market rate of interest as of October 31, 2005 and 2004.
Considerable judgment is necessarily required in interpreting market data
to develop the estimates of fair value, and accordingly, the estimates are
not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize
in a current market exchange.

Stock Based Compensation
------------------------

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation". The Company currently accounts for its stock-based
compensation plans using the accounting prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees". As the Company is not yet required to adopt the
fair value based recognition provisions prescribed under SFAS
No. 123, as amended, it has elected only to comply with the
disclosure requirements set forth in the statement which
includes disclosing pro forma net income and earnings per share
as if the fair value based method of accounting had been
applied.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date
of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with
the following weighted average assumptions for the fiscal years
ended October 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively: expected
volatility of 121% to 138%, 109% and 142%, respectively; risk
free interest rate of 4.05% to 4.23%, 3.00% and 3.63%,
respectively; and expected lives of 5 to 10 years.

The effects of applying SFAS No. 123, as amended, in the below
pro forma disclosures are not indicative of future amounts as
they do not include the effects of awards granted prior to
Fiscal 1996.  Additionally, future amounts are likely to be
affected by the number of grants awarded since additional
awards are generally expected to be made at varying amounts.

The pro forma net income and income per share consists of the
following:

---------------------------------------------------------

Earnings per Share
------------------

Earnings per share for each of the fiscal years ended October
31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 was computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of common and common equivalent
shares outstanding and also was adjusted for the assumed
conversion of shares issuable upon the exercise of options and
warrants in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share".
The total potential dilutive common shares excluded from this
computation due to the anti-dilution effect, totaled 588,227,
560,595 and 661,238 in the fiscal years ended October 31, 2005,
2004 and 2003, respectively.  The reconciliation between basic
and diluted average shares outstanding is as follows:



                                  Fiscal Years Ended October 31,

Marketing and Promotional Costs
-------------------------------

Marketing and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and totaled
$343,025, $304,453 and $353,531 from continuing operations for the
fiscal years ended October 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Such costs are included in selling expenses in the accompanying
consolidated statements of income.

Shipping Costs
--------------

The Company classifies shipping costs as a component of
selling expenses.  Shipping costs from continuing operations
totaled $72,627, $73,083 and $72,893 for the years ended
October 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
-----------------------------------------

In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 151, "Inventory
Costs".  This statement amends the guidance in ARB 43 (Chapter 43 -
Inventory Pricing) to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of
idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material
(spoilage).  SFAS No. 151 requires that such items be recognized
as current period charges.  SFAS No. 151 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2005 and is not expected to have
a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of
the Company.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153, "Exchange
of Non-monetary Assets - an amendment of APB No. 29".
Statement No. 153 eliminates the exception to fair value for
exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a
general exception for exchange transactions that do not have
commercial substance, defined as transactions that are not
expected to result in significant changes in non-monetary
assets occurring after June 15, 2005.  The application of this
statement is not expected to have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements of the Company.

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
---------------------------------------------------------


In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision of SFAS No. 123
"Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123(R)").  The statement
establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in
which an entity exchanges its equity investments for goods and
services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity
incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are
based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or
that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.
The statement does not change the accounting guidance for share-
based payments with parties other than employees.

The statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of
employee service received in exchange for an award of equity
instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award
(with limited exception).  That cost will be recognized over the
period during which an employee is required to provide service
in exchange for the award (usually the vesting period).  A
public entity will initially measure the cost of employee
services received in exchange for an award of a liability
instrument based on its current fair value; the fair value of
that award will be remeasured subsequently at each reporting
date through the settlement date.  Changes in fair value during
the requisite service period will be recognized as compensation
over that period.

The grant-date for fair value of employee share options and
similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing
models adjusted for the unique characteristics of these
instruments.  The Company will be required to comply with this
pronouncement with periods beginning after December 15, 2005.
The Company will be adopting SFAS No. 123(R) for the Company's
fiscal year ending October 31, 2007.  The adoption of this
pronouncement is expected to affect the Company's consolidated
statements of income in future periods.  The amount of the
effect cannot be measured at this time.  The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 123(R) on its
consolidated financial statements.  As the Company currently
accounts for share-based compensation using the intrinsic value
method as allowed by APB Opinion No. 25, the adoption of the
fair value method under SFAS No. 123(R) will have an impact on
the Company's results of operations.

In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes
and Error Corrections" - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20
(Accounting Changes) and FASB No. 3 (Reporting Accounting
Changes in Interim Financial Statements), which changed the
requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in
accounting principle.  This statement requires retrospective
application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in
accounting principle unless it is impracticable to determine
either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of
the change.  When it is impracticable to determine the period-
specific effects of an accounting change on one or more
individual prior periods presented, this statement requires that
the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of
assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest
period for which retrospective application is practicable and
that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance
of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity
or net assets in the statement of financial position) for that
period rather than being reported in an income statement.  When
it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of
applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods,
this statement requires the new accounting principle be applied
as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date
practicable.  Statement No. 154 is effective for accounting
changes and error corrections made in fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2005.

Reclassifications

year information to the current year presentation.

NOTE 2 - SALE OF NON-CORE SEGMENTS/DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
----------------------------------------------------------

With the advent of the No Child Left Behind legislation, the
Company made the strategic decision to refocus itself in the
assessment segment of the K-12 market.

Instructional Segment
---------------------

In July 2003, the Company sold substantially all the assets of
Modern Learning Press, Inc. ("MLP"), its wholly-owned subsidiary
and the sole component of the Company's instructional segment to
Delta Education, LLC ("Delta") for, $4,020,000 and Delta assumed
certain related liabilities.  In addition, the Company was
responsible, for the payment of up to $200,000 of certain
royalties for a one year period from June 1, 2003 through May
31, 2004.  The Company paid royalties based on historical
amounts of approximately $175,000, which has reduced the
gain from the sale of the segment.  The Company retained the
business and assets related to its test preparation materials,
Kingsbridge Press, which it considers consistent with the
activities of its sole remaining segment.  The Company recorded
a gain on the disposal of the Instructional segment totaling
$1,748,272 less taxes of $699,309.  Revenues from the
Instructional Segment totaled $1,321,278 for the period November
1, 2002 through the date of sale.

In addition, the Company entered into a transitional services
agreement with Delta, whereby the Company would continue to pay
the rent and employee costs of MLP through October 31, 2003 for
consideration of $130,000.  On October 31, 2003, the facilities
utilized by MLP were closed and the employees terminated.  The
Company recorded these termination costs as a cost of the sale
of the segment.

Educational Delivery Segment
----------------------------

On June 3, 2003, the Company sold substantially all the assets
of Elley.  Pursuant to the agreement, the Company received
$50,000.  In addition, the Company will receive 25 percent of
the proceeds from any sale or refinancing of the school by the
purchaser to a third party, which must take place within seven
years. The assets sold constitute substantially all the assets
and operations of the Company's educational delivery segment.
The Company recorded a loss on the disposal of Elley totaling
$974,901, and a tax benefit of $389,960, to reflect the change
in the fair value of the net assets sold during the period
November 1, 2002 through June 3, 2003.  The revenues for the
delivery segment were $3,225,417 and $5,882,026 for the period
from November 1, 2002 through June 3, 2003, the date of sale,
and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2002, respectively.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS
---------------------

Assessment and Evaluation Concepts, Inc.
----------------------------------------

In January 2005, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
stock of Assessment and Evaluation Concepts Inc. ("AEC") for
$122,000 consisting of $83,000 in cash and 12,000 shares of the
Company's common stock.  The value of the shares issued was determined
based on the average market price of the Company's common stock over
the two-day period before and after the date of the acquisition.  In
addition, options to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's
common stock were granted pursuant to the 2000 Plan on the date
of the closing exercisable at $3.06 per share, the fair market
value on that date.  The options are exercisable commencing one
year from the closing, through January 2015.  The operations of
AEC are included in the consolidated financial statements since
the date of acquisition.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the
assets acquired at the date of acquisition:

    Accounts receivable                        $ 22,930

Achievement Data, Inc.
----------------------

On July 1, 2005, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
stock of Achievement Data, Inc. ("ADI").  ADI provides on-line
testing capabilities to state testing programs and also offers
an electronic testing engine.  The total consideration paid by
the Company for the ADI stock was $1,650,000, consisting of
$1,155,000 in cash, the issuance of 89,488 shares of Common
Stock of the Company (valued at approximately $331,650, based on
the average of closing prices for the Company's Common Stock for
the five trading days preceding the closing) and $163,350 in
subordinated promissory notes issued to two of the former
stockholders of ADI.  The promissory notes incur interest at the
rate of 5% per annum and are payable through six semi-annual
installments of principal plus interest.  The operations of ADI
are included in the consolidated financial statements since the
date of acquisition.

reported a gain on the sale totaling $1,254,383, net of closing
costs totaling $162,136 in fiscal 2003.  The building was then
leased back to the Company under a ten-year lease agreement.  As
a result of the sale/leaseback, the gain is being recognized
over the term of the lease at $125,439 per year.  Among other
provisions, the lease provides for additional rent to be paid by
the Company for real estate taxes and insurance.

Directors Stock Option Plan
---------------------------

In 1996, the Company adopted a Directors Stock Option Plan (the
"DSO Plan") whereby options may be granted to purchase up to an
aggregate of 25,000 shares of the Company's common stock to
directors of the Company who are not officers or employees of the
Company or otherwise eligible to receive awards under the 1991
Plan.  Pursuant to the DSO Plan, eligible directors would receive
an option to purchase 1,250 shares of the Company's common stock
on the date the director first becomes eligible.  The eligible
director would subsequently receive an option to purchase 625
shares of the Company's common stock on the date of each succeeding
annual meeting of the stockholders, unless the director's term ends
on or before that date.  Each option granted is exercisable at the
fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date granted,
and for options granted prior to Fiscal 2006, may be exercised for a
nine-year period commencing one year from the date of the grant.
Effective for options granted under the Directors Plan in Fiscal 2006
and thereafter, such options will become exercisable in three equal
annual installments following the grant date.

In February 2000, the Company adopted an amendment to the DSO Plan
increasing the number of options, which may be granted under the
DSO Plan, to an aggregate of 75,000 shares.  The amendment also
increased the number of shares of the Company's common stock to be
subject to the automatic grants made to directors from 1,250
shares to 5,000 shares upon first being elected to the Board of
Directors of the Company and 625 shares to 2,500 shares upon each
re-election to the Board of Directors.  At the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders held on April 29, 2005, the stockholders approved
amendments to the Directors Plan to increase by 75,000 the
number of shares eligible to be issued pursuant to the Directors
Plan and to extend the expiration date of the Directors Plan
from March 2006 to April 30, 2010.

Directors' stock option plan activity is summarized as follows:

NOTE 11 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued)

Consultants Stock Incentive Plan
--------------------------------

In 1997, the Company adopted a Consultants Stock Incentive
Plan (the "CSI Plan") whereby options to purchase up to 50,000
shares of the Company's common stock may be granted to consultants
or advisors of the Company.  Subject to the terms of the CSI Plan,
a committee of the Board of Directors is authorized to select
participants and determine the number of shares covered by each
option, its exercise price and other terms.  The exercise price,
however, may not be less than the fair market value of the
Company's common stock on the date of the grant.  CSI Plan activity
is as follows:



                                                         Option Price
                                             Shares      Per Share

deferred tax asset will be realized in future periods and,
accordingly, no valuation allowance has been recorded.

The Company has employment agreements with several of its key

to three years and are automatically extended each year unless the
Company notifies the employee, in writing, ranging from at least

Each agreement calls for a base salary, which may be adjusted
annually at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors,
and also provides for eligibility in the Company's benefit plans
and incentive bonuses which are payable based upon the attainment
of certain profitability goals.  Among other provisions, the
agreements include a non-compete clause for varying periods not
exceeding three years following termination of employment.

The Company entered into employment agreements for an initial
forty-month term with two of the former shareholders of ADI.  In

ADI were granted, pursuant to the 2000 Plan, an aggregate of 60,000
ten-year options to purchase additional shares of the Company's Common
Stock at an exercise price of $3.75 per share, subject to
vesting upon the completion of one year of employment.  The Company
also entered into an employment agreement for an initial twenty-eight
month term with a key employee of ADI.

The aggregate commitment for future salaries as of October 31,
2005, excluding bonuses and benefits, is as follows:
