Press Release Summary = Educational Testing Service strengthens its export
compliance system to reduce the risk of doing business with individuals who are on
U.S. Restricted Party Screening lists

Press Release Body = Buffalo, N.Y. (June 8, 2006) Educational Testing Service (ETS),
the world's leading educational measurement and research organization, has begun
using eCustoms' export compliance solution to help screen parties' names against the
U.S. Government's various restricted parties lists.

ETS' mission is to help advance quality and equity in education by providing fair
and valid assessments, research and related services. ETS' products and services
measure knowledge and skills, promote learning and performance, and support
education and professional development for all people worldwide.

ETS selected eCustoms' solution to help them comply with U.S. laws prohibiting U.S.
companies from doing business with individuals who are on the U.S. Government's
"Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List". Using the web-based
eCustoms solution, names can be screened against all pertinent lists individually or
in batches, with processing and results returned in real time.

"We chose eCustoms because their Restricted Party Screening solution is superior to
anything we have used or tried in the past," said Renée Zarelli, Assistant General
Counsel at ETS' Office of the General Counsel. "Moreover, eCustoms took the time to
understand our particular requirements and proposed a solution that fit our needs."

"When we discuss solutions with clients, it is a team effort involving seasoned
business development staff, including software engineers, project managers,
implementation specialists and support experts," said Jackson Wood, eCustoms
Corporate Business Manager. "What is noteworthy is the depth of domain knowledge and
expertise our staff has in the field of international trade compliance and how we
can leverage that to deliver great solutions to our customers."

eCustoms provides automated solutions that help companies involved in global trade
achieve compliance rapidly in the short term and continuously over the long term.
These solutions include export and import documentation, electronic submissions to
Customs, NAFTA management, tariff classification, Restricted Party screening, ECCN
analysis, export license determination, usage audit reporting, and export license
application, submission and post approval management.
