Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On March 15, 1996, the registrant, TMS, Inc. (the "Registrant"),  completed
the merger (the "Merger") of its wholly-owned  subsidiary SCC Acquisition Corp.,
an Oklahoma  corporation ("SAC") with and into Sequoia Computer  Corporation,  a
California  corporation  ("Sequoia").  The Merger was  effected  pursuant to the
terms of an Amended Plan of Reorganization  and Agreement of Merger by and among
the  Registrant,  Sequoia,  SAC and Dana R. Allen dated November 7, 1995. In the
Merger each share of Sequoia's  common stock (the  "Sequoia  Stock")  issued and
outstanding  immediately  prior to March 15,  1996,  the  effective  date of the
Merger (the  "Effective  Date"),  was converted  into the right to receive 2.837
shares of the  Registrant's  common  stock,  par value  $.05 per share (the "TMS
Common Stock").  At the Closing of the Merger,  the Registrant  issued 3,643,220
shares of TMS Common Stock in exchange for all 1,284,180 shares of Sequoia Stock
issued and  outstanding.  Upon the Effective Date,  options to purchase  588,656
shares of Sequoia Stock (the "Sequoia  Options") were also  converted  entitling
the holders  thereof to purchase 2.837 shares of TMS Common Stock for each share
of  Sequoia  Stock  (an  aggregate  of  1,670,018  shares of TMS  Common  Stock)
purchasable  under such  options  at an  exercise  price  equal to 35.24% of the
exercise price  thereunder.  As a consequence of the Merger,  the former Sequoia
shareholders own approximately 30.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of TMS
Common Stock  (without  giving  effect to the possible  exercise of  outstanding
Sequoia Options).

     The Merger was accounted for as a "pooling of interests" for accounting and
financial reporting purposes.

     Prior to the Merger, there were no material  relationships  between Sequoia
and its shareholders, and the Registrant, or any of its affiliates, directors or
officers or any associates of such directors or officers.

Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors
Sequoia Computer Corporation:


We have audited the accompanying  balance sheets of Sequoia Computer Corporation
(the Company), dba Sequoia Data Corporation, as of August 31, 1995 and 1994, and
the related statements of earnings, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the
years then ended.  These  financial  statements  are the  responsibility  of the
Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 12 to these financial  statements,  the Company is expected
to merge with TMS, Inc., a publicly held computer software company, early in the
Company's  fiscal 1996,  subject to  negotiation  and  execution of a definitive
agreement between the two companies.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Sequoia Computer Corporation as
of August 31,  1995 and 1994,  and the  results of its  operations  and its cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted  accounting
principles.

As discussed in Notes 3 and 9 to the financial  statements,  in 1994 the Company
adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes.

                         (dba Sequoia Data Corporation)

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                   November 30, 1995 and 1994 (Unaudited), and
                            August 31, 1995 and 1994


(1)  Description of Company

     Sequoia Computer  Corporation (the Company),  dba Sequoia Data Corporation,
     was  incorporated in the state of California in 1987. The Company  develops
     and markets innovative  software products in the document image processing,
     image  enhancement,  forms  processing,  and  data  entry  industries.  The
     Company's  products  include  ScanFix,  FormFix,  and GrayFix software tool
     kits.

(2)  Unaudited Financial Information

     The unaudited interim financial statements as of November 30, 1995, and for
     the  three-month  periods  ended  November  30, 1995 and 1994,  reflect all
     adjustments  which are, in the opinion of management,  necessary for a fair
     presentation of financial  position,  results of operations and cash flows.
     All adjustments are normal and recurring. The financial information for the
     interim periods may not  necessarily be indicative of the results  expected
     for the year.

(3)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Revenue Recognition

     Revenue  is  recognized  at the time of  shipment,  net of  allowances  for
     estimated future product returns. The Company's obligations after the point
     of sale are insignificant.  Costs relating to any post sale obligations are
     therefore expensed as incurred.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     Cash and cash equivalents  consist  primarily of highly liquid money market
     accounts carried at cost plus accrued interest,  which approximates  market
     value.  All cash  equivalents  have maturities of less than three months at
     the time of purchase.

     Short-Term Investments

     The Company has adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards (SFAS)
     No. 115,  Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,
     for investments  held as of September 1, 1994. Under the provisions of SFAS
     No.   115,    the   Company   has    classified    its    investments    as
     "available-for-sale."  Such  investments  are  recorded  at fair  value and
     unrealized  gains and  losses,  if  material,  are  reported  as a separate
     component of equity until  realized.  The cost of securities  sold is based
     upon the specific  identification method. There was no cumulative effect on
     earnings as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 115.

     Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation  is computed using
     the straight-line  method over the estimated useful lives of the respective
     assets, which range from three to seven years.


<PAGE>

     Capitalized Software Development Costs

     The Company capitalizes  software development costs after the technological
     feasibility of the product has been established in accordance with SFAS No.
     86,  Accounting for the Cost of Computer  Software to be Sold,  Leased,  or
     Otherwise Marketed. Such costs are amortized using the straight-line method
     over the  estimated  economic  life of the product,  which is generally two
     years  from the date of  product  release.  The  amortization  expense  was
     $11,655 and $2,562 for each of the three months ended November 30, 1995 and
     1994,  respectively,  and  $26,545  and $4,270 for each of the years  ended
     August 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  This amortization  approximates or
     is greater than that which would be  determined  using the ratio of current
     product  revenue to the total  anticipated  product  revenue.  The  Company
     periodically evaluates unamortized  capitalized software costs to determine
     that such costs are recoverable.

     Income Taxes

     Effective September 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
     109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and has reported the cumulative effect of
     that  change  in  the  method  of  accounting   for  income  taxes  in  the
     accompanying  1994 statement of earnings.  SFAS No. 109 prescribes an asset
     and  liability  approach  that results in the  recognition  of deferred tax
     assets and liabilities  for the expected future tax  consequences of events
     that have been  recognized  in the  Company's  financial  statements or tax
     returns.  In  estimating  future tax  consequences,  SFAS No. 109 generally
     considers  all  expected  future  events other than future  enactment's  of
     changes in tax laws or rates.

     Patent Costs

     Patent costs are comprised of capitalized  costs  associated with obtaining
     patent rights for certain software  products.  Such costs will be amortized
     over the useful  life of the patents on the  straight-line  method once the
     patents have been obtained.

(4)  Property and Equipment

     Property and  equipment  consisted  of the  following as of November 30 and

     through 2008.

     The state of California  allows 50% of net operating  losses incurred to be
     carried  forward  for  five  years.  Accordingly,  the  Company  has  a net
     operating loss carryforward for state tax purposes of approximately $32,000
     as of August 31, 1995. The carryforward expires in the year 1998.

     The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the California Conformity Act of 1987
     substantially restrict the ability of a corporation to utilize existing net
     operating losses in the event of an "ownership  change" of the Company,  as
     defined.

     The tax effect of  differences  that give rise to  significant  portions of
     deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented below:

     The  Company  believes  that it is more likely than not that the results of
     future operations will generate significant taxable earnings to realize the
     deferred tax asset, thus, no valuation allowance has been provided.

     The  difference  between  the  effective  income  tax rate and the  federal
     statutory rate of 34% is as follows:

(10) Commitments and Contingencies

     The Company leases office space for its  headquarters  facility.  The lease
     term expires on June 1, 1996 with an option to renew for an  additional  25
     months.  The minimum future  commitment  under this lease is  approximately
     $17,000. Rental expense amounted to approximately $8,347 and $4,620 for the
     three months ended  November 30, 1995 and 1994,  respectively,  and $22,266
     and $18,840 for the years ended August 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     In the normal course of business, the Company is from time to time involved
     in various asserted and unasserted  claims.  In the opinion of management,
     the ultimate disposition of such matters will not have a material effect on
     the Company's financial position or future results of operations.

(12) Subsequent Events

     On  September  6, 1995,  the Company  entered into a Letter of Intent for a
     plan of merger with TMS, Inc.  (TMS),  a publicly  held  computer  software
     company.  On September  21,  1995,  the Company and TMS agreed to amend the
     Letter of Intent  for  changes in the number of TMS shares to be issued for
     all of the issued and  outstanding  shares of the  Company's  common stock.
     Under the amended Letter of Initent,  TMS will issue a maximum of 5,000,000
     shares of its common  stock in exchange for all  outstanding  shares of the
     Company's common stock. In addition,  holders of the Company's common stock
     options at the time of the merger will receive TMS common stock  options of
     corresponding  value.  The  Company  anticipates  that the  merger  will be
     consummated  during the first quarter of the Company's fiscal 1996 and will
     be accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method. Consummation of the
     merger  is  subject  to  several  conditions,   including  negotiation  and
     execution of a definitive agreement.

     In  addition,  in  anticipation  of the  merger,  the holders of all of the
     preferred  stock converted their holdings to common stock in October at the
     rate of one share of common  stock for one  share of  preferred  stock,  as
     outlined in Note 7.

               UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     Set forth on the following  pages is certain  unaudited pro forma  combined
financial  information  with respect to the Merger,  including an unaudited  pro
forma  combined  balance  sheet as of November 30, 1995 and  unaudited pro forma
combined  statements of operations  for the three months ended November 30, 1995
and for the years ended August 31, 1995,  1994 and 1993.  The pro forma combined
balance  sheet  has been  prepared  on the basis  that the  Merger  occurred  on
November 30, 1995.  The pro forma  combined  statements of operations  have been
prepared on the basis that the Merger  occurred at the beginning of the earliest
period presented.  The Merger is expected to qualify as a "pooling-of-interests"
for accounting and financial reporting,  and has been structured to qualify as a
tax free  reorganization.  The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements
should be read in  conjunction  with the notes  thereto.  The pro forma combined
results of operations are not necessarily indicative of future operations of TMS
or results that actually would have occurred had the Merger been effected on the
dates indicated.

           NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  Adjustment  reflects the exchange of Sequoia  common shares at November 30,
     1995 for 2.837 shares of TMS common shares,  and the resulting  increase in
     additional  paid-in-capital.  At November 30, 1995,  after giving effect to
     the Merger,  TMS would have had outstanding  12,121,730 common shares,  par
     value,  $.05.  On November  30,  1995,  TMS and Sequoia had  8,478,511  and
     1,284,180 common shares outstanding, respectively.

(2)  Adjustment  reflects offset of TMS'  non-current  deferred tax asset by the
     amount of Sequoia's non-current deferred tax liability.

(3)  Merger costs incurred of approximately $120,000 have been recognized in the
     pro forma  combined  statement  of  operations  for the three  months ended
     November  30, 1995.  Additional  merger  costs  estimated at  approximately
     $30,000 to $50,000 will be charged to operations as incurred. The pro forma
     combined  balance sheet gives effect to $50,000 of such expenses as if they
     had been incurred as of November 30, 1995.

(4)  Sequoia adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 109 (SFAS
     No.  109),  Accounting  for Income  Taxes,  as of  September  1, 1993,  and
     recorded  the  cumulative  effect  of the  accounting  change  in its  1994
     Statement of  Operations.  The cumulative  effect of the accounting  change
     ($157,768)  has been  excluded from the 1994  unaudited pro forma  combined
     statement of operations.

(5)  In calculating the pro forma weighted average common and common  equivalent
     shares,  the 2.837  exchange ratio was applied to the Sequoia stock options
     and the  exercise  price was  adjusted  to 35.24% of the  Sequoia  exercise
     price. Dilutive effect of Sequoia stock options was determined by reference
     to market prices of TMS Common Stock.
