Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
688482.1
-2-
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of this Registration
Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in this
Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected
in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) (ss.230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more
than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set
forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect
to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii)
above do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Re: TSR, Inc.
1997 Employee Stock Option Plan
Registration Statement on Form S-8
----------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for TSR, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with the preparation of the registration statement on
Form S-8, and any amendments thereto (the "Registration Statement"), as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), for the registration under the Securities Act of
up to 800,000 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value
$0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") (the "Shares") to be issued pursuant to the
1997 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). Capitalized terms used and not
defined in this opinion have the meanings ascribed to them in the Registration
Statement. You have requested that we furnish our opinion as to matters
hereinafter set forth.
In rendering this opinion, we have relied upon, among other things, our
examination of such records of the Company, including without limitation, the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation as amended, and the Company's Bylaws, as
amended, resolutions of the Board of Directors and certificates of its officers
and of public officials as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of the
opinion expressed below.
In addition, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity
to original documents of all documents submitted
688482.1
-6-
to us as certified or photostatic copies. As to various questions of fact
material to this opinion, we have relied, to the extent we deem reasonably
appropriate, upon representations or certificates of officers or directors of
the Company and upon documents, records and instruments furnished to us by the
Company, without independently checking or verifying the accuracy of such
documents, records and instruments furnished to us by the Company.
We do not express any opinion as to the laws of states or jurisdictions
other than the laws of the State of New York, the Delaware General Corporation
Law and the federal law of the United States. No opinion is expressed as to the
effect that the law of any other jurisdiction may have upon the subject matter
of the opinion expressed herein under conflicts of law principles, rules and
regulations or otherwise.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that: the
Shares offered by the Company pursuant to the Registration Statement, when
issued and paid for in accordance with the Plan, will be duly and validly
authorized and issued and will be fully paid and nonassessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this
consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose
consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933 or the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Very truly yours,
Battle Fowler LLP
