                 Redeemable Common Stock Warrants
                 --------------------------------
                         (Title of class)



      Item 1.   Description of Registrant's Securities to be Registered.
                --------------------------------------------------------
          As of the date of this Form 8-A, 1,207,500 Redeemable Warrants
are outstanding.

          The following is a brief summary of certain provisions of the
Redeemable Warrants, but such summary does not purport to be complete
and is qualified in all respects by reference to the actual text of the
Warrant Agreement between Technology Service Group, Inc. ("TSG") and Liberty
Bank and Trust Company of Oklahoma City, N.A. ("Liberty"), as supplemented by
the Supplemental Warrant Agreement dated as of December 23, 1997 among the
Registrant, TSG, Liberty and American Stock Transfer and Trust Company
(collectively, the "Warrant Agreement").  A copy of the Warrant Agreement has
been filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-A.

          Two Redeemable Warrants entitle the holder thereof to purchase one
share of Common Stock, par value $.01, of the Registrant ("Common Stock"), at
an exercise price of $10.48 per share.  Therefore, the Redeemable Warrants
outstanding can be exercised to purchase an aggregate of 603,750 shares of
Common Stock.  Unless the Redeemable Warrants are redeemed as provided below,
the Redeemable Warrants may be exercised at any time until 5:00 p.m. on
May 9, 1999, at which time the Redeemable Warrants will expire.

          The Redeemable Warrants are redeemable by the Registrant at its
option, as a whole and not in part, at $.05 per Redeemable Warrant on 30 days'
prior written notice, provided that the average closing bid price of the
Common Stock equals or exceeds a price per share determined pursuant to the
Warrant Agreement for 20 consecutive trading days ending within five days
prior to the date of the notice of redemption.  The Redeemable Warrants may
not be redeemed unless they are then exercisable and a current prospectus
covering the Redeemable Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable
thereunder is then in effect.  The Redeemable Warrants will remain exercisable
until the close of business on the business day prior to the date of
redemption.  Redemption of the Redeemable Warrants may force the holders to
exercise the Redeemable Warrants and pay the exercise price at a time when it
may be disadvantageous for them to do so or sell the Redeemable Warrants at
the current market price when they might otherwise desire to hold the
Redeemable Warrants.

          The holders of the Redeemable Warrants will not have any of the
  rights or privileges of stockholders of the Company (except to the extent
  they otherwise own Common Stock) prior to the exercise of the Redeemable
  Warrants.  The Redeemable Warrants will be entitled to the benefit of
  adjustments in the exercise price and in the number of shares of Common Stock
  deliverable upon the exercise thereof upon the occurrence of certain events,
  including a stock dividend, stock split, merger or similar reorganization.
