Company will acquire Sequoia by issuing a maximum of 5.3
million shares of TMS common stock for all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Sequoia common stock.  The Company
anticipates that the merger will be consummated during the
second quarter of the current fiscal year and will be
accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method.
Consummation of the merger is subject to several conditions,
including effective registration of TMS common shares with
the SEC, and approval by Sequoia shareholders.

Set forth below is certain unaudited pro forma financial
information with respect to the merger, including an
unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet as of November
30, 1995 and unaudited pro forma condensed statements of
operations for the three months ended November 30, 1995 and
1994. The pro forma condensed statements of operations have
been prepared on the basis that the merger occurred at the
beginning of each interim period presented. The unaudited 
pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of future 
TMS operations.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

                    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Significant growth in revenue and net income, and execution 
of a definitive merger agreement to acquire Sequoia Computer 
Corporation (Sequoia) were the most significant items that 
occurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 1996.

Licensing and royalties revenue for the quarter ended
November 30, 1995 increased by 42.1% over the same quarter
last year. During the first quarter of fiscal 1995,
licensing and royalties revenue decreased by 13.4% from the
first quarter of fiscal 1994, therefore the strong growth in
licensing and royalties revenue for the first quarter of
1996 was significant.  Document conversion service revenue
was $287,185 for the first quarter of 1996 compared to $83,095 
for the same period a year ago, an increase of 246%. Net income 
as a percent of total revenue increased to 11.8%
compared to 10.9% for the same quarter a year ago. This
increase occurred despite merger costs and expenses of
approximately $70,000 related to the Sequoia acquisition.

The Company expects the Sequoia acquisition to be
consummated during the second quarter of the current fiscal
year.  Consummation of the merger is subject to certain
conditions, including effective registration of TMS common
shares with the SEC and approval by Sequoia shareholders.

Increased revenue and net income for the first quarter,  and
execution of the definitive merger agreement, are a positive
beginning for fiscal 1996.

<PAGE>  9
Revenue
- --------
Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 was
$1,300,308 compared to $1,009,561 for the same quarter of
fiscal 1995, an increase of $290,747 or 28.8%. Licensing and
royalties revenue for the first quarter increased by
$241,281 or 42.1% over licensing and royalties revenue for
the first quarter of fiscal 1995. In the first quarter of
fiscal 1996, revenue from text products increased by 44.7% 
over the same quarter last year while revenue from imaging 
products was up by 42.9% over the fiscal 1995 first quarter.  
The increase in licensing and royalties revenue can primarily be 
attributed to increased unit sales resulting from recent 
releases of new or enhanced products, and existing customers who 
expanded their use of the Company's products or completed a 
product for resale resulting in royalty revenue for the Company. 

Software development and document conversion services revenue 
for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 was $486,504 compared to
$437,038 for the first quarter of fiscal 1995, an increase
of $49,466 or 11.3%. Software development service revenue
declined 44% during the first quarter of 1996 when compared 
to the same period in fiscal 1995, while document conversion 
service revenue increased 246%. The decrease in software 
development service revenue was due to the successful delivery
of product to POWERCOM 2000 near the end of fiscal year 1995.
Negotiations are currently underway with potential cusomters to
help replace software development service revenues previously 
generated for POWERCOM 2000.  Management expects certain of these 
contracts to be secured by the end of the second quarter, although
there can be no assurance as to when or if any of these software 
development service contracts will be finalized.  Based on current
projections, second quarter software development service revenue
is expected to be comparable to the first quarter of the current
fiscal year. The increase in document conversion service revenue
is attributable to continued service under the Toro contract that
began in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 and is expected to
continue through the second quarter of the current fiscal year. 
Revenue from the Toro contract amounted to approximately 
$188,000, or 66%, of the first quarter document conversion 
service revenue. Management is currently seeking other document 
conversion service opportunities, but there can be no assurance 
as to when new document conversion service contracts will be 
secured, or if revenues from any new contracts will replace the
level of revenue recognized for Toro.

Operating Costs and Expenses
- ----------------------------
Operating costs and expenses for the quarter ended November
30, 1995, were $1,164,628 compared to $906,878 for the same 
quarter in fiscal 1995, an increase of $257,750 or 28.4%.
Approximately 60% of the increase was attributable to
increased personnel costs. Personnel cost accounted for
approximately 60% of the Company's total expenses. At
November 30, 1995 the Company employed 61 full-time
permanent employees and 58 temporary and part-time employees
compared to 50 full-time and 20 temporary and part-time
employees at November 30, 1994. 

The cost of software development and document conversion services 
increased due to the increase in document conversion revenue. 
The gross profit margin for services for the fiscal 1996 quarter
was 22.9% compared to 39.6% for the same quarter of fiscal 1995. 
This drop in gross profit margin reflects the drop in revenue
from software development services during the first quarter of 
fiscal 1996. Software development service revenue is expected to 
increase during fiscal 1996, but in the event it does not increase,
cost cutting measures will be taken to reduce the cost of
services.

The cost of licensing and royalties increased for the first 
quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to the same period a year ago, 
due to increased licensing and royalties revenue.  The gross 
profit margins for licensing and royalties were 78% and 75% for 
the three months ended November 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  
The increase in gross profit margin is primarily attributable to 
the increase in royalty revenue that essentially results in little
or no cost to the Company.   

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal
1996 quarter increased by $128,583 or 29.0% when compared to
the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  Approximately one-half of
the increase was attributable to legal and accounting costs
related to the acquisition of  Sequoia. The balance of the 
increase was attributable to increased costs of facilities, 
insurance, investor relations and the increased operating 
expenses related to the higher number of employees and 
increased activity.

Research and development costs for the first quarter of
fiscal 1996 decreased $16,869 or 36% from the same period a year
ago.  The decrease is primarily attributable to the Company 
focusing it's resources on enhancements to existing products. 


Income Taxes
- ------------
Deferred tax expense of approximately $58,000 for the
quarter ended November 30, 1995, was offset by a deferred
tax benefit of $58,000 attributable to the reduction in the
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.  The Company
assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets at least
quarterly, and adjusts the valuation allowance to reflect
the future benefits that will more likely than not be
realized from those deferred tax assets. At November 30,
1994, the Company's net deferred tax assets were fully
valued, thus no deferred tax expense or benefit was
recognized.

                     FINANCIAL CONDITION

Working capital at November 30, 1995 was $966,383 with a
current ratio of  2.9:1 compared to $782,752, with a current
ratio of 3.0:1, at November 30, 1994. Net cash provided by
operations for the three months ended November 30, 1995 was
$195,424 compared to net cash used in operations of $2,592
for the three months ended November 30, 1994. The increase
in net cash provided by operations is principally the result
of increased profitability and  higher turnover of accounts
receivable. Net cash used in investing activities for the
first three months of fiscal 1996 was $99,105 compared to
$254,659 for the same period in fiscal 1995. During the
first quarter of fiscal 1995 construction was underway on
the renovation of the Company's headquarters facilities
which was the primary reason for the higher costs last year.
During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company
capitalized software development costs of $75,824. These
costs were incurred to enhance existing products and to complete 
new products for release.  

During the quarter ended November 30, 1995, the Company
borrowed $318,000 on its line of credit for short-term
working capital needs.  The amount borrowed plus the $75,000
outstanding balance at the beginning of the fiscal year was
repaid prior to the end of the quarter.  At November 30,
1995, the Company's long-term debt was $389,822.  Current
obligations under the long-term debt total $18,294.

The Company believes net cash provided by operating
activities and the operating line of credit of $600,000 will
be adequate to meet its current obligations and current
operating and capital requirements. The Company expects the
$600,000 line of credit to be extended when it matures on
October 23, 1996. The funding of long-term needs is
dependent upon increased revenue and profitability and
obtaining funds through outside debt and equity sources. The
funding for long-term needs includes funding for increased
product development, expanded sales staff and adequate
promotion of the Company and its products. If the merger
with Sequoia Computer Corporation is consummated, combined
net cash provided by operating activities and the Company's
existing line of credit are expected to be adequate to
provide sufficient resources for operations after the
merger.

Item 5.  Other Information

In November 1995, the Company signed a Merger Agreement to
acquire Sequoia Data Corporation, a privately held computer
software company.  The Merger agreement provides for TMS to
issue a maximum of 5.3 million shares for all of the issued
and outstanding shares of Sequoia common stock.  In
addition, holders of Sequoia common stock options at the
time of the merger will receive TMS common stock options of
corresponding value.  The merger is intended to be accounted
for using the pooling-of-interest accounting method.
Consummation of the Merger is expected to occur during the
second quarter of the current fiscal year, but is subject to
certain conditions, including effective registration of TMS
common shares with the SEC, and approval by Sequoia
shareholders.
