Item 2.                 Identity and Background.
 
Item 2 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
 
This statement is filed by Costa Brava, a Delaware limited partnership; Roark, Rearden & Hamot, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; and Seth W. Hamot, a United States citizen. Each of the parties listed in the immediately preceding sentence is referred to herein individually as a “Filer” and collectively as the “Filers”. Each of the Filers is a party to that certain Agreement Regarding the Joint Filing of Schedule 13D, as further described in Item 6. Accordingly, the Filers are hereby filing a joint Schedule 13D.

Item 3.                 Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
Item 3 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
 
The 1,319,274 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Costa Brava, Roark, Rearden & Hamot, LLC and Mr. Hamot were held by Costa Brava and were acquired with working capital set aside for the general purpose of investing.
 
Item 4.                 Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
 
The Filers made their investment in the Issuer in the ordinary course of business believing the shares of Common Stock to be undervalued and the Filers reserve their right to take any steps deemed necessary to enhance their investment including increasing, decreasing or eliminating their investment in the Issuer or to take any other action relative thereto. The Filers may participate in discussions with potential purchasers of their shares of Common Stock or sell some or all of their shares of Common Stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. After the Filers made their investment in the Issuer, Seth W. Hamot became a director and the Chairman of the Board of the Issuer.
 
 
 
 
 
On June 3, 2010, the Issuer entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. and Jacobs Technology Inc. (the “Buyers”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer agreed to sell, assign, transfer and deliver to the Buyers all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock in TechTeam Government Solutions, Inc.

Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement and as inducement for the Buyers to enter into the Purchase Agreement, Costa Brava entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with the Buyers. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, Costa Brava agreed to vote its capital stock in the Issuer:
 
(i) in favor of the approval and adoption of the Purchase Agreement and its contemplated transactions;
 
(ii) against approval or adoption of any competing transaction proposal or any proposal made in opposition to or in competition with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, and
 
(iii) against any actions to the extent that such actions are intended, or could reasonably be expected to, in any material respect, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.
 
The descriptions of the Voting Agreement and the Purchase Agreement contained herein are qualified in their entirety by the Voting Agreement set forth as Exhibit B hereto and the Purchase Agreement set forth as Exhibit C hereto, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
 
As of the date of this Amendment No. 9, except as set forth above, none of the Filers has any present plan or intention which may result in or relate to any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
 
(a) Costa Brava, Roark, Rearden & Hamot, LLC and Mr. Hamot are the beneficial owners of 1,319,274 shares of Common Stock (approximately 11.7% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s filing on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010).
