About TSBB
Our featured company OTC BB: TSBB has established a subsidiary 
to meet an unfulfilled need in the market place, specifically financing
and investment banking services for small-and-mid-cap companies. TS&B 
Financial Services, Inc. (TSBFS), previously an in-house Investment 
Banking division, was incorporated as part of a nationwide expansion 
strategy.

TSBB plans, through its subsidiary, to expand the opening of 60 new 
field offices over the next five years. TSBFS currently has offices at 
its headquarters in Orlando, Florida, with sales offices in Little Rock,
Arkansas and Freeport, Illinois and with affiliates in Naples, Florida, 
Tavernier, Florida, and Rapid City, Michigan. TSBB’s financial services
subsidiary has established relationships with broker/dealers, investment
funds and consultants, insurance companies, pension funds, underwriters 
and private investors as well as banks to meet clients’ needs.

The Industry Demand
The financial and investment banking needs of the market are the 
result of both increasingly restrictive lending constraints and 
covenants of financial institutions and an economy that has been in a 
downswing.

Historically banks, made up of commercial and savings institutions, 
were the primary sources of funds in the community for borrowers. 
However, constantly changing tax laws and uncertain economy have 
resulted in the lack of availability of capital from these traditional 
sources for most early stage companies, and sometimes, even seasoned 
companies.

The TSBFS Solution
TSBFS is an organization of seasoned executives with significant 
expertise in professional financial services. The emphasis and overall
objective of the company is to implement their business model through 
which the products and services can be effectively, profitably and 
efficiently delivered to the client.

New Management
As part of the management expansion, Scott R. Neils was named President
and CEO of TSBFS. He also retains his position as CFO of the parent 
company, TS&B Holdings, Inc. "We believe that this is an excellent time 
and opportunity to expand our services. I am very confident in our 
ability to provide high-quality corporate finance and investment banking
services to companies nationwide, while at the same time supporting our
parent company's acquisition model."

Investment Information
