This Schedule 13D is being filed by Thomas J. Campbell (the “Reporting Person”). Mr. Campbell’s principal business address is c/o DC Capital Partners LLC, 11 Canal Center Plaza, Suite 350, Alexandria, VA 22314. Mr. Campbell is the President and Founder of DC Capital Partners LLC, an investment firm headquartered in Washington, DC, focused on making investments in the federal and state government services markets.

Mr. Campbell is a United States citizen.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The Shares purchased by Mr. Campbell were purchased with personal funds.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
The Reporting Person acquired the Shares reported herein because of his view that the shares represent an attractive investment opportunity. As the majority owner of KSI, the Reporting Person has significant knowledge about the Issuer’s industry. The Reporting Person has been monitoring the Issuer, and noted that the Issuer terminated its shareholder rights plan as of March 30, 2012. The Reporting Person is interested in exploring strategic alternatives with the Issuer and has made numerous calls to management to discuss these alternatives, but has not received any response from the Issuer. The Reporting Person may seek to engage in additional discussions with management and others concerning the business and operations of the Issuer.
Depending upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the price levels of the Shares, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer, conditions in the Issuer’s industry and securities markets, general economic, industry, regulatory and other conditions, general investment and trading preferences of the Reporting Person, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Person, and other factors that the Reporting Person may deem relevant to his investment decision, the Reporting Person may from time to time acquire, or cause to be acquired, additional securities of the Issuer or dispose, or cause to be disposed, such securities, in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, derivative transactions or otherwise.
| CUSIP No. 057149106 | Page 4 |
The Reporting Person reserves the right, from time to time, to formulate plans or proposals that relate to or would result in the occurrence of any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Person intends from time to time to evaluate the Issuer and review his holdings of Shares on a continuing basis and may in the future take such actions with respect to his investment in the Issuer as he deems appropriate. Such actions include, without limitation: (i) increasing or decreasing his position in the Issuer; (ii) seeking to acquire or influence control of the Issuer, the means of which may include representation on the board of the Issuer; (iii) engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to Shares; (iv) undertaking an extraordinary corporate transaction such as a tender offer or exchange offer for some or all of the Shares or a merger, consolidation, other business combination or reorganization involving Issuer, either directly or through KSI; or (v) taking any other action to enhance shareholder value. The information set forth in this Item 4 is subject to change at any time, and there can be no assurances that the Reporting Person will or will not take any of the actions described above.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) The Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own 498,121 Shares, which is equal to approximately 5.18% of the outstanding Shares based on 9,614,685 Shares outstanding, as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended April 1, 2012.
(b) The Reporting Person may be deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power for all shares beneficially owned by him.
