With regard to the MHC Mutual Conversion Fund Group, this Schedule 13D/A relates to Common Stock of the Issuer purchased by the GP through the account of the Fund.

The MHC Mutual Conversion Fund Group has discussed and will continue to discuss ideas that, if effectuated, may result in any of the following: a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer and/or changes in the board of directors or management of the Issuer.

The Reporting Persons may purchase, sell or transfer Common Stock beneficially owned by them from time to time in public transactions depending on economic considerations and, subject to the below, the results of such communications. Any such transactions may be effected at any time or from time to time subject to any applicable limitations imposed on the sale of the Common Stock by applicable law.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) - (b) The MHC Mutual Conversion Fund Group beneficially owns 455,061 shares of Common Stock, which represents 7.9% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. The percentage of beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons, as reported in this Schedule 13D/A, was calculated by dividing (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the MHC Mutual Conversion Fund Group as of September 12, 2013, as set forth in this Schedule 13D/A, by (ii) the 5,786,085, shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 6, 2013, according to the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 13, 2013.

The GP, in its capacity as investment manager and general partner to the Fund has power to vote the 455,061 shares of Common Stock and the power to dispose of the 455,061 shares of Common Stock held in the Fund. Clover, in its capacity as general partner of the GP and Mr. Mewhinney, as the managing member of Clover, may each be deemed to beneficially own the Common Stock held in the Fund.

Mr. Base beneficially owns 2,652 shares of the Common Stock, less than 1% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.

(c) Other than the Fund, none of the other Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in the Common Stock since the last filing. The Fund effected the following transactions:

09/11/2013	173		$	2,773.62
09/12/2013	3786		$	61,598.98

Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, the GP, Clover, and Mr. Mewhinney disclaim all such beneficial ownership.
