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.
 
The Shares purchased by Bandera Master Fund were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted, as set forth in Schedule A, which is incorporated by reference herein.  The aggregate purchase price of the 543,780 Shares owned directly by Bandera Master Fund is approximately $3,195,246, including brokerage commissions.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
(a)           The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 6,957,628 Shares outstanding as of November 6, 2015, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 6, 2015.
 
As of the close of business on January 21, 2016, Bandera Master Fund directly beneficially owned 543,780 Shares, constituting approximately 7.8% of the Shares outstanding.  By virtue of their respective relationships with Bandera Master Fund as discussed in further detail in Item 2 of the Schedule 13D, each of Bandera Partners and Messrs. Bylinsky and Gramm may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares directly owned by Bandera Master Fund.
 
(b)           Bandera Partners may be deemed to have the sole power to vote and dispose of the Shares directly owned by Bandera Master Fund.  As Managing Partners, Managing Directors and Portfolio Managers of Bandera Partners, each of Messrs. Bylinsky and Gramm may be deemed to have the shared power to vote and dispose of the Shares directly owned by Bandera Master Fund.
 
(c)           Schedule A annexed hereto lists all transactions in securities of the Issuer since the filing of the Schedule 13D by the Reporting Persons.  All of such transactions were effected in the open market unless otherwise noted.
