I discovered TSRI on the WEB in the Investor's Business Dailey % rise in volume column and all the numbers looked great. I researched it on the web the same evening and bought the next morning at 13 3/4. This was in the first week of October. It has split since then and today it closed at 12 1/2. The sales and earnings are accelerating! I had to do a few adjustments and shorten some headings to get adecent alignment of the report. Last Friday's news: TSR announces financial results

J.F. Hughes, president, stated, "The increase in operating income for both the current three month and six month periods occurred primarily because of revenue growth of 67% and 57% respectively, in the contract programming services business. Such increase is directly attributable to an increase in the number of programmers on billing with customers. Additionally, during the quarter and six month periods the company incurred operating expenses of $118,000 and $146,000 respectively, in connection with the creation of a Year 2000 conversion solution without any corresponding revenue. The company's construction specifications subsidiary which terminated business March 1, 1996 had contributed operating profit in the prior year of $90,000 and $184,000 in the three and six month periods. In the quarter ended Aug. 31, 1996 this subsidiary recorded approximately $77,000 of non-operating income in accordance with a termination agreement signed in June 1996."
