The source of such funds was the working capital of the Fund.
Item 4.	Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons initially acquired shares of Common Stock of the Issuer for investment purposes and in the ordinary course of business and/or the outside investment activities of the respective Reporting Persons. The Reporting Persons are filing this Schedule 13D to report their intentions at this time with respect of the future direction and governance of the Issuer, including with respect to the Issuer's management decision to renew, without a shareholder vote, its shareholder rights plan (the "Poison Pill"), which Riposte Capital LLC ("Riposte") believes has isolated the Issuer and is value destructive. As of the date of filing, Riposte has sent the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the "Board") a letter to the Issuer recommending amongst other items that the Board remove the Poison Pill with immediate effect and run a strategic review to solicit bids for the Issuer.  This letter is attached as Exhibit B.  Though the Reporting Persons may be deemed part of a group within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Act, the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any of the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, a group with any of the other Reporting Persons.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis taking into consideration various factors, including the Issuer's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for shares of Common Stock and the Issuer, in particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities. Based upon such review, the Reporting Persons will take such actions in the future as the Reporting Persons may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time, which may include further acquisitions of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer or disposal of some or all of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer owned by the Reporting Persons or otherwise acquired by the Reporting Persons, either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

Any open market or privately negotiated purchases or sales, acquisition recommendations or proposals or other transactions concerning the Issuer may be made at any time without prior notice. Any alternative may depend upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices of the securities, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer and general industry conditions, the availability, form and terms of financing, other investment and business opportunities, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors. Although the foregoing reflects plans and proposals presently contemplated by each Reporting Person with respect to the Issuer, the foregoing is subject to change at any time and dependent upon contingencies and assumed and speculative conditions, and there can be no assurance that any of the actions set forth above will be taken.

The Reporting Persons have, and may in the future, engage in discussions with the Issuer's management, the Board, and/or other shareholders covering a broad range of subjects, including relative to performance, strategic direction, capital allocation, shareholder value, Board composition and governance of the Issuer.

Depending upon each factor discussed above and any other factor (which may be unknown at this time) that is, or may become relevant, the Reporting Persons may consider, among other things: (a) the acquisition by the Reporting Persons of additional securities of the Issuer, the disposition of securities of the Issuer, or the exercise of convertible securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) changes in the present Board or management of the Issuer; (e) a material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer's articles of incorporation, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing any class of the Issuer's securities to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above.

Except to the extent that the foregoing may be deemed to be a plan or proposal, none of the Reporting Persons currently has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clause (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Depending upon the foregoing factors and to the extent deemed advisable in light of their general investment policies, or other factors, the Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or the Common Stock, or any other actions that could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The foregoing is subject to change at any time, and there can be no assurance that any of the Reporting Persons will take any of the actions set forth above.
Item 5.	Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a), (b) 	The responses of each of the Reporting Persons with respect to Rows 11, 12, and 13 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D that relate to the aggregate number and percentage of Common Stock (including but not limited to footnotes to such information) are incorporated herein by reference.
The responses of each of the Reporting Persons with respect to Rows 7, 8, 9, and 10 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D that relate to the number of Common Stock as to which each of the persons or entities referenced in Item 2 above has sole or shared power to vote or to direct the vote of and sole or shared power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of (including but not limited to footnotes to such information) are incorporated herein by reference.
