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.
 
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
The Shares purchased by JCP Partnership 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 337,533 Shares owned directly by JCP Partnership is approximately $3,377,445, including brokerage commissions.  The Shares owned directly by JCP Partnership were acquired with the working capital of JCP Partnership.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
Item 5(a) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
(a)           The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 7,506,757 Shares outstanding as of October 29, 2012, 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 2, 2012.
 
As of the close of business on December 18, 2011, JCP Partnership directly owned 337,533 Shares, constituting approximately 4.5% of the Shares outstanding.  By virtue of their respective relationships with JCP Partnership discussed in further detail in Item 2, each of JCP Partners, JCP Holdings, JCP Management and Mr. Pappas may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned by JCP Partnership.
 
Item 5(c) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
(c)           Schedule A annexed hereto lists all transactions in securities of the Issuer during the past sixty days by the Reporting Persons.  All of such transactions were effected in the open market.
 
Item 5(e) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
