Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a)-(c). As of June 30, 2008, the Wynnefield Reporting Persons beneficially owned in the aggregate 1,719,002 Common Shares, constituting approximately 13.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Shares (the percentage of shares owned being based upon 12,939,130 Common Shares outstanding as of February 29, 2008, as set forth in the Issuer’s most recent report on Form 10-Q for the period ended January 27, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2008). The following table sets forth certain information with respect to Common Shares directly beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons listed below:

Name	Number of Common Shares	Percentage of Outstanding Common Shares
Wynnefield Partners	424,802	3.28%
Wynnefield Partners I	611,000	4.72%
Wynnefield Offshore	674,000	5.21%
The Plan	9,200	0.1%

WCM is the sole general partner of the Wynnefield Partners and Wynnefield Partners I and, accordingly, may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Shares that Wynnefield Partners and Wynnefield Partners I beneficially own. WCM, as the sole general partner of Wynnefield Partners and Wynnefield Partners, has the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the Common Shares that Wynnefield Partners and Wynnefield Partners I beneficially own. Messrs. Obus and Landes are the co-managing members of WCM and, accordingly, each of Messrs. Obus and Landes may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Shares that WCM may be deemed to beneficially own.

Each of Messrs. Obus and Landes, as co-managing members of WCM, shares with the other the power to direct the voting and disposition of the Common Shares that WCM may be deemed to beneficially own. WCI is the sole investment manager of Wynnefield Offshore and, accordingly, may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Shares that Wynnefield Offshore beneficially owns.

WCI as the sole investment manager of Wynnefield Offshore, has the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the Common Shares that Wynnefield Offshore beneficially owns. Messrs. Obus and Landes are executive officers of WCI and, accordingly, each of Messrs. Obus and Landes may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Shares that WCI may be deemed to beneficially own. Each of Messrs. Obus and Landes, as executive officers of WCI, shares with the other the power to direct the voting and disposition of the Common Shares that WCI may be deemed to beneficially own.

Mr. Obus is the portfolio manager for the Plan and accordingly, Mr. Obus may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Shares that the Plan may be deemed to beneficially own. Mr. Obus, as a portfolio manager for the Plan, has the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the Common Shares beneficially owned by the Plan.

Beneficial ownership of the Common Shares shown on the cover pages of and set forth elsewhere in this Statement for each member of the Wynnefield Reporting Persons assumes that they have not formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) under the Exchange Act, and Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated thereunder. If the members of the Wynnefield Reporting Persons were deemed to have formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) and Rule 13d-5(b)(1), the group would be deemed to own beneficially (and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over) 1,719,002 Common Shares, constituting approximately 13.3% of the outstanding Common Shares (the percentage of shares owned being based upon 12,939,130 Common Shares outstanding as of February 29, 2008, as set forth in the Issuer’s most recent report on Form 10-Q for the period ended January 27, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2008).

The filing of this Statement and any future amendment by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons, and the inclusion of information herein and therein with respect to WCM, WCI and Messrs. Obus and Landes, shall not be considered an admission that any of such persons, for the purpose of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, are the beneficial owners of any shares in which such persons do not have a pecuniary interest. Each of WCM, WCI and Messrs. Obus and Landes disclaims any beneficial ownership of the shares covered by this Statement.
