This Amendment No. 1 amends a Statement on Schedule 13D filed by TBC dated October 31, 1997 (the "Statement"). The filing of this Amendment No. 1 should not be deemed an admission that TBC comprises a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"). This Amendment No. 1 relates to the Common Stock, $0.005 par value (the "Common Stock"), of Government Technology Services, Inc. (the "Company"), which, to the best knowledge of the person filing this Amendment No. 1, is a company organized under the laws of Delaware, with its principal executive offices located at 4100 Lafayette Center Drive, Chantilly, Virginia 22021-0808. This Amendment No. 1 contains information regarding shares of Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by TBC. Such shares are held in the accounts of various customers of TBC, with respect to which accounts TBC has investment discretion (the "TBC Accounts"), and with respect to some of which it has obtained sole or shared voting power. This Amendment No. 1 is being filed because the filing person is no longer subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act") as a result of the disposition of Common Stock in open market transactions. Other than as set forth below, to the best knowledge of TBC, there has been no material change in the information set forth in response to Items 1,2,3,4,6 and 7 of the Statement, as amended. Accordingly, those items are omitted from this Amendment No. 1. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER (a) As a result of the disposition of 9,640 shares of Common Stock in open market transactions, as of the date ended hereof, TBC may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 329,269 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 4.88% of the 6,740,745 shares of Common Stock which TBC believes to be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. The TBC Shares are held in the TBC Accounts. TBC disclaims that it is the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Common Stock held in the TBC Accounts. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which TBC could be deemed to be the beneficial owner as of the date hereof, is 329,269 shares, which constitutes approximately 4.88% of the 6,740,745 shares of Common Stock, which the filing person believes to be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, but nothing contained herein shall be construed as an admission that TBC is the beneficial owner of any of the TBC Shares. The aggregate number of shares and percentage of Common Stock with respect to which each of the Members may be deemed to be the beneficial owner by reason of his being a member of TBC is 329,269 shares, which constitutes approximately 4.88% of the 6,740,745 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Except as described herein, to the best knowledge of TBC, no person who may be deemed to comprise a group with any of TBC, or any other person named in Item 2 of the Statement, beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock. 5 b) TBC has investment discretion with respect to 329,269 shares of Common Stock held by the TBC Accounts and has sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of all of such shares. Of these shares of Common Stock, TBC has sole power to vote or to direct the voting of 310,638 shares of Common Stock held in certain TBC Accounts. Each of the Members of TBC, solely by reason of their positions as such, may be deemed to have (i) shared power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of all of the shares of Common Stock held in the TBC Accounts; and (ii) shared power to vote or direct the vote of 329,269 shares of Common Stock held in certain TBC Accounts. (c) Transactions in Common Stock affected by TBC during the sixty-day period ended as of the date hereof is set forth below:
