I have talked to Scott and Dieter recently. Here is some info that may be of interest: The financials were sent to shareholders of record. If you didn't own TSIS as of early April 1997, you won't get anything. To get the financials, call the transfer agent at 604-689-9853. Keep in mind that the financials won't be pretty, as the co started making a profit only very recently. I haven't got the financials yet (I got last year's financials with my original investor's package). With pennys, you usually aren't buying because of what happened in the past, you're buying because of what you expect to happen in the future. There should be a press release out in January regarding revenues/profits from the new clients that have been signed up recently (AT&T, etc.). This will have hard numbers, but won't mention profit margins. They don't want to make it look like they are sticking it to their customers. I can believe that, as a lot of companys won't make public statements about profit margins. If TSIS starts issuing news releases bragging about how they are making 70-80% profit margins off AT&T, the people at T may not like it very much. There will also be a press release in January announcing that company stock sales have ended and the closure of the two IR offices. (Scott also confirmed that there is no more dilution, as was posted here earlier.) Scott said that he will then be able to do a promotional road show with brokers and try to drum up some interest in the company.

Dear James: I just received a packet in the mail.No financials but an impressive list of clients. 3 D Sys, Adeptec, Apollo, Avery, Burnham Pacific, Cooper Indus, Dresser, Engineering Animation, Ensearch, Goldbelt Res, HNC software, Hancock Fab, Inacom, IRand, Jones Naughton, NTN Comm, National Fuel Gas, NA Vaccine, Printrak Int, PSCo NM,Telegroup Inc,Tribune Co,Trust Co NJ, Xilinx, and MarketReach Clients-- A T T Exec, Ascend, Foote Cone & Belding, Lucent, Pentair, Stanley Works, U S Postal Scv. They stated they were expanding the San Diego facility from two T -1 lines to seven T-1 lines handling 168 call at once. I checked with a friend in the business and he said this was correct that a T-1 line had 24 channels. The cost to TSIS for these lines is approx $3000.00 per month per line or a total of $21,000.00 per month. He was surprised that they were not using a T-3 line which handles the traffic of 7 T-1 lines or their current capacity, which is approx $20.000.00 per month for one T-3 line. Any way you cut it from the numbers on 21 employees I take a wild guess and say that with telephone expenses,rent, lights,cap costs on equipment, payroll, ect they have between 150 thousand and 200 thousand expenses per month right now. Do you think I am remotely close-- what would you have on the revenue side..give me a wild guess, I say 350 thousand to 400 thousand right now.....gregor
