Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.


Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:


As noted above, the following Share amounts have been modified from those reported on Amendment No. 2 as a result of the Issuer’s public announcement on June 1, 2011 (the “Announcement”), which was included as an Exhibit to the Issuer’s Schedule TO Amendment No. 3 filed on that same date.  This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D modifies the following previously estimated numbers of Shares in accordance with the final results set forth in the Announcement.


(a) and (b)

  896,301 Shares, representing approximately 15% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer, are held by BIP. BIP GP LLC is the general partner of BIP. Weiss Asset Management LP is the investment manager of BIP. Mr. Weiss is the managing member of each of BIP GP LLC and WAM GP LLC and in such capacity has the power to vote and dispose of such Shares.


** Please see Item 5.

384,128 Shares, representing approximately 6 % of the outstanding shares of the Issuer, are held by BGO. Weiss Asset Management LP is the investment manager of BGO. Mr. Weiss is the managing member of WAM GP LLC and in such capacity has the power to vote and dispose of such Shares.


All Share numbers and ownership percentages reported herein are as of June 1, 2011. As noted above, all ownership percentages reported herein are based on 6,007,820 Shares of the Issuer's Common Stock issued and outstanding as of June 1, 2011, calculated in accordance with the Announcement. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of all of the Shares, except to the extent of its or his pecuniary interest therein, and the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of any Shares for any purpose.


(c) During the past 60 days, the only transactions in the Issuer’s Common Stock engaged in by BIP and BGO were the tender of Shares to the Issuer pursuant to the Issuer’s partial tender offer.  In accordance with the Announcement, BIP and BGO sold approximately 3,158,378 and 1,353,590 Shares, respectively at a price of $2.60 per Share, to the Issuer.
