The company’s products include basic input/output software (BIOS) upgrade solutions that enable end-users to keep their systems current by enabling the latest technology; CheckIt Portable Edition, a modular PC testing and diagnostics tool that brings the power of a testing laboratory to the one who installs, checks, develops, refurbishes, or repairs PC hardware; the ISA and PCI Postcard, a plug-in diagnostic card to aid IT professionals and PC end-users to determine the causes of their system failures; and Driver Agent, a PC hardware scan, analyze, and update technology specific to device drivers.

Investment Thesis 1. Over the long term they have had very rapid growth (note seasonality). 2. The company has assembled a nice suite of tools for PC maintenance and seems intent on building a complete suite. Their staple is their driver update capability which is accessible at www.driveragent.com. They also have BIOS update tools. In Q4 they added a tool call RegistryWizard which cleans out the Windows registry. I've purchased this tool and have been happy with the improvements in performance that the tool provided. 3. They have a big collection of web sites. The two web sites that create the most traffic for them have shown increased traffic from Q4 to Q1. The biggest web sites are DriverAgent.com and esupport.com. See the charts below. 4. RegistryWizard and Undelete-Plus will add to revenue in Q1. 5. Q1 and Q4 are their seasonally stronger quarters. 6. They have a new relationship with GigaByte. 7. With all these signs of growth it seems likely that TSSW will move up from here.
