Exhibit 99.1


Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
Safe Harbor For Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve a
number of risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements are made pursuant to safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. A discussion of these forward-
looking statements and risk factors is set forth at the end of this presentation. The company assumes no
obligation to update any forward-looking statement in this presentation.
As  announced on October 27, 2006, the Company’s Audit Committee is conducting a voluntary review
of its historical stock option grants for all periods from 1995 through the present.  On October 27, 2006,
the
Company
also
announced
that
its
financial
statements
and
all
earnings
releases
and
similar
communications relating to financial periods since fiscal year 1995 should not be relied upon in light of
the stock option review.  The review and the related audit procedures to be performed by the
Company’s outside auditors are not complete.  As a result, on December 14, 2006, the Company
announced that the Company would not file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
September 30, 2006 on the December 14, 2006 required filing date.  The Company intends to continue

Key attributes are type of sale, contract terms and
payment terms
Maintenance and facilities management or ASP (P&H
Solutions) revenue is generally recognized ratably over
term of contract

Valuation Considerations of 60-month Backlog
Split backlog and gap fill into two components over 5-year forecast
Backlog: Year 1 equals TSA’s
12-month backlog, Years 2-5 assume equal amounts of remaining backlog (60-month less
12-month backlog) with minimal growth
Gap Fill: equals revenue target less backlog 
Assume operating margins ~25%
Applied different discount rates to backlog and gap fill over 5-year forecast to reflect risk of forecast
Backlog: lower discount rate (risk-free rate + premium) due to reduced risk related to contracted revenue
Gap Fill: traditional WACC
Blended discount rate lower compared to companies without significant backlog because of lower risk profile
Assume historical investment in the business
Standard terminal value approaches (e.g., current market multiples)
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Methodology
Reviewed sample of application software vendors that report backlog greater than their 2007 revenue estimates
Mean and Median Enterprise Value to Backlog Multiple estimated at approximately 1.4x
TSA valued at approximately 1.0x 60-month backlog
Comparable Backlog Analysis
Long-term recurring nature of TSA’s
business and significant backlog represent a compelling
and differentiated value proposition for long-term investors and should be considered when
valuing the company.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This
presentation
includes,
EBITDA,
a
non-GAAP
financial
measure.
EBITDA
is
defined
as
net
income
before
interest,
taxes,
depreciation
and
amortization.
The
Company
uses
EBITDA
as
a
performance
measure
and
provides
EBITDA
to
investors
to
complement
results
provided
in
accordance
with
GAAP,
as
management
believes
the
measure
helps
illustrate
underlying
operating
trends
in
the
Company's
business
and
uses
the
measure
to
establish
internal
budgets
and
goals,
manage
the
business
and
evaluate
performance.
Because
EBITDA
excludes
some,
but
not
all,
items
that
affect
net
income
and
the
definition
of
EBITDA
may
vary
among
other
companies,
the
EBITDA
measure
presented
by
the
Company
may
not
be
comparable
to
EBITDA
measures
of
other
companies.
EBITDA
should
not
be
considered
in
isolation
or
as
a
substitute
for
comparable
measures
calculated
and
presented
in
accordance
with
GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Non GAAP Financial Measure
This
presentation
includes
earnings
per
share
guidance
on
an
adjusted,
non-GAAP
basis.
TSA
is
presenting
this
non-GAAP
guidance
to
provide
more
transparency
to
its
earnings,
focusing
on
operations
before
selected
non-cash
items.
The
Company
believes
that
providing
this
non-GAAP
financial
measure
is
useful
to
its
investors
as
an
operating
measure
because
it
excludes
certain
expenses
and
therefore
provides
a
consistent
basis
for
comparison
of
the
Company's
expenses
from
period
to
period.
The
presentation
of
this
non-GAAP
financial
measure
should
be
considered
in
addition
to
the
Company’s
GAAP
results
and
is
not
intended
to
be
considered
in
isolation
or
as
a
substitute
for
the
financial
information
prepared
and
presented
in
accordance
with
GAAP.
