We provide a single source solution for enabling technologies in data centers, operations centers, network facilities, server rooms, security operations centers, communications facilities and the infrastructure systems that are critical to their function. Our services consist of technology consulting, design and engineering, project management, systems integration, systems installation, facilities management and IT procurement services. Beginning in 2024, our systems integration services have been enhanced to include integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled data center server racks. TSS was incorporated in Delaware in December 2004. We recently relocated our corporate offices and primary integration facility from Round Rock, Texas to Georgetown, Texas and continue to operate a second integration facility at our former corporate office in Round Rock, Texas.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">We support a broad range of enterprise customers who utilize our services to deploy solutions in their own data centers, in modular data centers (MDCs), in colocation facilities or at the edge of the network. This market remains highly competitive and is subject to constant evolution as new computing technologies or applications drive continued demand for more advanced computing and storage capacity. In 2023, these enterprises shifted their investment priorities towards AI and accelerated computing infrastructure initiatives. Enterprise and data center operators are facing immense pressure to rapidly integrate and deploy the latest generative AI equipment and GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) and will need to adapt these next-generation servers and custom rack-scale architectures to compete in the market successfully and quickly. Ensuring adequate power and thermal management systems are implemented to support these new technologies while meeting increasingly stringent sustainability requirements is critical to a successful deployment. TSS exists to assist these operators in achieving these benefits over the life cycle of their IT investments.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Over the last ten years we have focused our business on providing world-class integration services to our customer base. As computing technologies evolve, and as we see new power and cooling technologies emerge, including direct liquid-cooled IT solutions and the rapid adoption of AI computing solutions, we will continue to adapt our rack and systems integration business to support these new products. We will also continue to offer expanded services to enable the integration, deployment, support, and maintenance of these new IT solutions. We compete in expanding market segments, often against larger competitors who have extensive resources. We rely on several large relationships and one US-based OEM (original equipment manufacturer) customer to win contracts and to provide business to us under Master Service Agreements. The loss of or material decline in volume of business from this OEM customer would have a material negative effect on our results.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Most of the components used in our systems integration business are consigned to us by our largest OEM customer or its end-user customers. Thus, our revenues reflect only the services we perform, and the consigned components are not reflected in our income statement or on our balance sheet. We also offer our customers strategic procurement services whereby we procure third-party hardware, software and services on their behalf. Our configuration and integration service businesses often integrate these components to deliver a complete system to our customers.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <table style="border-spacing:0;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-INDENT: 0px;text-align:center;">S-2</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><p style='page-break-after: always'></p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><em><a href="#TOC">Table of Contents</a></em></td></tr></table> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">In October 2024, we signed a multi-year agreement with our largest customer to provide systems integration services for AI-enabled computer racks at an expected minimum monthly volume.&nbsp; To support this level of production, and to be able to provide increased volumes over our prior facility, we have moved our headquarters and production facility to a new location in 2025.&nbsp; Through June 30, 2025, we have invested approximately $31.6 million in improvements to that leased facility, primarily to significantly increase the available electrical power and related cooling capabilities for both air-cooled and direct liquid cooled (&#8220;DLC&#8221;) computer racks.&nbsp; We are financially responsible for all fixed and variable costs related to this activity, including debt service requirements related to the capital expenditures, direct and indirect labor related to this activity, and all facility and related costs.&nbsp; While there may be some variability in the number of racks built in any given period, we believe the structure of the agreement with our customer provides reasonable assurance to us that absent our material breach of the agreement or our termination of the agreement, the revenues we earn from this arrangement will consistently be sufficient to cover the aforementioned costs we expect to incur in fulfilling our obligations.&nbsp; </p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Our customer could terminate the agreement if we were to materially breach the agreement, leaving us with the financial obligations of the lease and debt service regardless of whether we had revenues sufficient to cover those costs. Likewise, if we were to terminate the agreement other than due to the other party&#8217;s material breach of the agreement, the other party would be relieved of any further obligation. Funding sources for the build-out costs at the new facility include approximately $6.8 million to be contributed by our landlord, $20 million from a bank construction loan, and cash on hand for the remainder of the costs.&nbsp; The construction loan is expandable up to $25 million with bank approval.&nbsp; We borrowed $8.7 million on the loan on December 31, 2024 and drew down the remaining $11.3 million in May 2025, which reimbursed us for capital expenditures we had previously funded using cash on hand. </p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">We believe that the exponential growth in the data center market is largely powered by demand for AI. According to Market.us, the estimated global AI server market is expected to be $410 billion in 2027 and will grow at a CAGR of 37.8% to be $3.9 trillion by 2034. This demand will be driven by the increasing adoption of AI technologies for analytics and complex computational tasks, which require specialized, high performance server infrastructures. According to Gartner, the estimated end-user cloud spending in 2025 is $723 billion, up 21.5 % from $596 billion in 2024. This growth is driven by demand from enterprise and hyper-scaler platforms serving as marketplaces for a growing number of generative AI-powered applications. According to IDC, the estimated modular/edge computing market in 2028 will be $380 billion with an expected 13.8% CAGR. Edge computing continues to play a role in the deployment of AI applications and privacy, with enterprise investments continuing to shift towards infrastructure expansion.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">The volume of our strategic procurement services grew substantially in the quarter and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 compared to the quarter and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024. In some cases, we also act as an agent and arrange for the purchase of third-party hardware, software or services that are to be provided to our customers by another party. However, we have no control of the goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. In these instances, we are acting as an agent in the transaction. These procurement services allow us to develop relationships with new hardware, software and professional service providers and allow us to generate higher profits on integration projects by broadening our revenue and customer base. In procurement transactions where we do not take possession of the goods being sold (&#8220;net deals&#8221;), we record as revenue on our financial statements only the agent fee we earn for facilitating the transaction. For procurement services in which we take possession of and perform work to somehow transform the goods prior to shipping them to our OEM customer&#8217;s end users (&#8220;gross deals&#8221;), we record as revenue the gross value of the sale, and record costs of sales for the amount we spend to acquire the goods that we transform. Thus, the gross margin percentage for this business can be significantly different, even if the gross profit dollars are the same, depending on whether we record the gross procurement transaction when we handle the products or record only our agent fee when merely arranging the sale in a net procurement transaction. This, in turn, can have an impact on the consolidated gross margin percentage, particularly in periods in which we experience a large volume of procurement transactions in relation to the volume of the remainder of our business.</p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <table style="border-spacing:0;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid;

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment loss on goodwill and other intangibles, stock-based compensation, and certain extraordinary items. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe this supplemental measure of operating performance is helpful in comparing our operating results across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that may or could have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on our results of operations in any particular period. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as a factor in evaluating the performance of certain management personnel when determining incentive compensation. </p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, while providing useful information, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or cash flows as determined under GAAP. Consistent with Regulation G under the U.S. federal securities laws, Adjusted EBITDA has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure; this reconciliation is located under the heading &#8220;Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation&#8221;

We provide a single source solution for enabling technologies in data centers, operations centers, network facilities, server rooms, security operations centers, communications facilities and the infrastructure systems that are critical to their function. Our services consist of technology consulting, design and engineering, project management, systems integration, systems installation, facilities management and IT procurement services. Our systems integration services have recently been enhanced to include integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled computer racks including both air cooled and direct liquid-cooled racks.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in; text-align:justify;">We support a broad range of enterprise customers who utilize our services to deploy solutions in their own data centers, in modular data centers (MDCs), in colocation facilities or at the edge of the network. This market remains highly competitive and is subject to constant evolution as new computing technologies or applications drive continued demand for more advanced computing and storage capacity. In 2023, these enterprises shifted their investment priorities towards AI and accelerated computing infrastructure initiatives. Enterprise and data center operators are facing immense pressure to rapidly integrate and deploy the latest generative AI equipment and GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) and will need to adapt these next-generation servers and custom rack-scale architectures to compete in the market successfully and quickly. Ensuring adequate power and thermal management systems are implemented to support these new technologies while meeting increasingly stringent sustainability requirements is critical to a successful deployment. TSS exists to assist these operators in achieving these benefits over the life cycle of their IT investments.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in; text-align:justify;">Over the last ten years we have focused our business on providing world-class integration services to our customer base. As computing technologies evolve, and as we see new power and cooling technologies emerge, including direct liquid-cooled IT solutions and the rapid adoption of AI computing solutions, we will continue to adapt our rack and systems integration business to support these new products. We will also continue to offer expanded services to enable the integration, deployment, support, and maintenance of these new IT solutions. We compete in expanding market segments, often against larger competitors who have extensive resources. We rely on several large relationships and one US-based OEM (original equipment manufacturer) customer to win contracts and to provide business to us under Master Service Agreements. The loss of or material decline in volume of business from this OEM customer would have a material negative effect on our results.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in; text-align:justify;">Most of the components used in our systems integration business are consigned to us by our largest OEM customer or its end-user customers. Thus, our revenues reflect only the services we perform, and the consigned components are not reflected in our income statement or on our balance sheet. We also offer our customers strategic procurement services whereby we procure third-party hardware, software and services on their behalf. Our configuration and integration service businesses often integrate these components to deliver a complete system to our customers.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <table style="border-spacing:0;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-INDENT: 0px;text-align:center;">4</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><p style='page-break-after: always'></p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><em><a href="#TOC2">Table of Contents</a></em></td></tr></table> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in; text-align:justify;">In some cases, we also act as an agent and arrange for the purchase of third-party hardware, software or services that are to be provided to our customers by another party. However, we have no control of the goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. In these instances, we are acting as an agent in the transaction. These procurement services allow us to develop relationships with new hardware, software and professional service providers and allow us to generate higher profits on integration projects by broadening our revenue and customer base. In procurement transactions where we do not take possession of the goods being sold (&#8220;net procurement transactions&#8221;), we record as revenue on our financial statements only the agent fee we earn for facilitating the transaction. For procurement services in which we take possession of and perform work to somehow transform the goods prior to shipping them to our OEM customer&#8217;s end users (&#8220;gross procurement transactions&#8221;), we record as revenue the gross value of the sale, and record costs of sales for the amount we spend to acquire the goods that we transform. Thus, the gross margin percentage for this business can be significantly different, even if the gross profit dollars are the same, depending on whether we record the gross procurement transaction when we handle the products or record only our agent fee when merely arranging the sale in a net procurement transaction. This, in turn, can have an impact on the consolidated gross margin percentage, particularly in periods in which we experience a large volume of procurement transactions in relation to the volume of the remainder of our business.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><strong>Corporate Information </strong></p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">TSS was incorporated in Delaware in December 2004.

The securities may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters, or directly by underwriters. Generally, the underwriters&#8217; obligations to purchase the securities will be subject to conditions precedent and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities if they purchase any of the securities. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe in the prospectus supplement, naming the underwriter, the nature of any such relationship.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">We may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase the securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future.

If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement or in a post-effective amendment.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments made by the underwriters, dealers or agents, under agreements between us and the underwriters, dealers and agents.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <table style="border-spacing:0;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-INDENT: 0px;text-align:center;">23</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><p style='page-break-after: always'></p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><em><a href="#TOC2">Table of Contents</a></em></td></tr></table> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">We may grant underwriters who participate in the distribution of securities an option to purchase additional securities to cover over-allotments, if any, in connection with the distribution.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from us or our purchasers, as their agents in connection with the sale of securities. These underwriters, dealers or agents may be considered to be underwriters under the Securities Act. As a result, discounts, commissions or profits on resale received by the underwriters, dealers or agents may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions. The prospectus supplement will identify any such underwriter, dealer or agent and describe any compensation received by them from us. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, all securities we offer, other than common stock, will be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters may make a market in these securities but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. Any common stock sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement will be listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market or other principal market for our common stock. We may apply to list any series of debt securities, preferred stock, warrants or units on an exchange, but we are not obligated to do so. Therefore, there may not be liquidity or a trading market for any series of securities.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Any underwriter may engage in over-allotment transactions, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time. We make no representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that such transactions may have on the price of the securities. For a description of these activities, see the information under the heading &#8220;Underwriting&#8221; or &#8220;Plan of Distribution&#8221; in the applicable prospectus supplement.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who may become involved in the sale of the common stock may engage in transactions with and perform other services for us in the ordinary course of their business for which they receive compensation. </p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <table style="border-spacing:0;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-INDENT: 0px;text-align:center;">24</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><p style='page-break-after: always'></p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><em><a href="#TOC2">Table of Contents</a></em></td></tr></table> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:center;"><a name="legal2"><strong>Legal</strong><strong> Matters</strong></a></p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, certain legal matters will be passed upon for us by Miles &amp; Stockbridge P.C., Baltimore, Maryland.
