SCHEDULE 13D/A

Pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a) of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), the undersigned hereby amend the Schedule 13D Statement, dated August 8, 2006, as amended December 7, 2006, filed by Merriman Curhan Ford & Co. (“MCF”) and D. Jonathan Merriman, an individual (each of MCF and D.

(the “Issuer”). This Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D, as amended, is being filed on behalf of the Reporting Persons.

Item 1. Security and Issuer 
No material change.

During the past five years, the Reporting Persons have not been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors).

During the past five years, the Reporting Persons have not been a party to any civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction which resulted in any judgment, decree or final order enjoining violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or State securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws.”

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction 
 
Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“The purpose of this Schedule 13D is to reflect the beneficial ownership of the Shares by certain of the Reporting Persons.

The Reporting Persons have acquired their Shares of the Issuer for investment purposes only. The Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals as of the date of this filing which, other than as expressly set forth below, relate to, or would result in, any of the actions enumerated in Item 4 of the instructions to Schedule 13D.

MCF and D. Jonathan Merriman, the Chairman and Chief Exeuctive Officer of MCF, will continue to be a group, of which they are the only members, for the purposes of their beneficial ownership of the Issuer and reporting under Schedule 13D.

The Reporting Persons further reserve the right to act in concert with any other shareholders of the Issuer, or other persons, for a common purpose such as increasing shareholder vote, and/or to recommend courses of action to the Issuer’s management, the Issuer’s Board of Directors, the Issuer’s Shareholders and others.”
