ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

The Filers have acquired the Stock primarily for investment.  The Filers are
concerned with the deteriorating performance of TIS and its management's
inability to perform.  The costs of operating TIS continue to increase as a
percent of equity.  The Filers may seek representation on the Board of
Directors of TIS to influence fiduciary action, including, but not limited
to, decreasing management expenses and actions to increase shareholder value. 
The Filers intend to review continuously their options with respect to their
investment in the Stock and expressly reserve their right to (a) purchase
additional shares of the Stock; (b) dispose of all or part of their holdings
of the Stock by public or private sales or otherwise, at such prices and on
such terms as they may deem advisable; or (c) take such other action with
respect to their investment in the Stock as they may deem appropriate,
including meeting or consulting with the management or the Board of Directors
of TIS to discuss TIS's assets, corporate structure, dividend policies,
capital operations, properties management and personnel or potential
extraordinary transactions such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation of
TIS or any of its assets or subsidiaries, and contacting other stockholders
of TIS to discuss corporate strategy or any of the foregoing matters.

Except as set forth above, the Filers have no present plans or proposals that
would result in or relate to any of the transactions described in Item 4 of
Schedule 13D.
