The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 1”).  This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
 
Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
Item 3 is hereby amended to add the following:
 
The shares of Common Stock purchased by Mr. Ehrman pursuant to the exercise of stock options and in the open market were purchased with personal funds.  The aggregate purchase price of the 441,704 shares of Common Stock owned directly by Mr. Ehrman is approximately $244,877, excluding brokerage commissions.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
 
Mr. Ehrman has served as President of the Company since he co-founded the Company in 1993.  Mr. Ehrman has engaged, and intends to continue to engage, in discussions with the Company regarding the reconstitution of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) in light of the existing Board members’ decision not to stand for reelection.  Mr. Ehrman intends to identify and seek the Nominating Committee’s support for the nomination of a slate of highly qualified independent director candidates who have the requisite skill sets to reposition the Company as a market leader.  Mr. Ehrman believes that the Company’s shareholders are supportive of such a reconstituted Board to set the Company on a new strategic path towards unlocking shareholder value.

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

As of the close of business on April 4, 2014, Mr. Ehrman beneficially owned 722,992 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 5.8% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding.
 
(b)           Mr. Ehrman has the sole power to vote and dispose of 466,224 shares of Common Stock, the sole power to vote 38,365 shares of Common Stock, and shares the power to vote and dispose of the 49,000 shares of Common Stock held by his spouse’s Individual Retirement Account.
