John M. Gregory and Joan P. Gregory, as joint tenants with right of survivorship, acquired their shares of Common Stock with personal funds of approximately $357,257.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons have acquired the shares of Common Stock for investment purposes and may acquire additional shares or dispose of some or all of the shares of Common Stock, from time to time, depending upon price and market conditions, evaluation of alternative investments and other factors. The Reporting Persons intend to review on a continuing basis their investment in the shares of Common Stock, the Issuer's business affairs and financial condition, as well as conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions.

None of the Reporting Persons has any plan or proposal which relates to or which would result in:

 

  (a) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer:


  (b) The sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer;

 

  (c) Any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or terms of Directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board;

 

  (d) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;

 

  (e) Any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure;

 

  (f) Changes in the corporate governance documents or other actions which may impede the acquisition or control of the Issuer by any person;

 

  (g) Causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an interdealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;

 

  (h) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or

 

  (i) Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of Issuer

 

  (a) The calculations in this Item are based upon 7,604,800 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of March 12, 2014 (based on disclosures made by the Issuer in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013). As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned 529,000 shares or 6.96% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. The foregoing calculation is made pursuant to Rule l3d-3 promulgated under the Act.

 

  (b) Because John M. Gregory controls all of the voting interests of SJSI and Kingsway Charities with respect to the securities, he may be deemed to have the sole power to vote and direct the vote and the sole power to dispose and direct the disposition of the 89,000 shares held by SJSI and the 350,000 shares held by Kingsway Charities. Neither Joan P. Gregory, Susan Gregory nor James M. Gregory presently have the power to dispose, direct the disposition, vote or direct the vote of Common Shares held by SJSI or Kingsway Charities. However, they may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held by SJSI due to their financial interests in SJSI. John M. Gregory and Joan P. Gregory control the voting and dispositive power of the 90,000 shares of Common Stock held by John M. Gregory and Joan P. Gregory as joint tenants with right of survivorship.
