Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The securities covered by this statement were acquired pursuant to open market purchases using approximately $944,195 (including commissions).  The source of funds used in making the purchases was the working capital of persons or accounts advised or managed by Ibis Management.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The securities covered by this statement were acquired for investment purposes.  Each reporting person believes that the common stock of the issuer is undervalued and represents an attractive investment opportunity.

Each reporting person is involved in the investment business and plans and proposes to review and analyze the investment in the issuer of each person and account advised or managed directly or indirectly by such reporting person and the investment, if any, of such reporting person in the issuer, as applicable, on a continuing basis.  Depending upon the factors described below and any other factors that are or become relevant, each reporting person plans and proposes to: (a) acquire additional shares of common stock and/or other equity, debt, and/or other securities of the  issuer and/or securities related to the issuer, including, without limitation, swaps and/or other similar derivative securities that are based upon the value of the shares of common stock or other securities of the issuer (collectively, "Issuer Securities") in open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise; (b) sell all or part of any such Issuer Securities in open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise; (c) engage  in  hedging and/or similar transactions with respect to Issuer Securities; (d) engage in discussions and/or otherwise communicate with the issuer, management, members of the board of directors, and other representatives of the issuer, and/or security holders of the issuer from time to time with respect to various matters, including the issuer, Issuer Securities, the business and operations of the issuer, the composition of the issuer's management and board of directors, and the issuer's capitalization and dividend policy; (e) make a proposal or proposals to request that the issuer and/or security holders of the issuer consider one or more extraordinary transactions, such as a merger or reorganization; (f) suggest or recommend one or more transactions involving the acquisition, sale, or exchange of all or part of the equity interests in and/or assets of the issuer and/or actions which relate to or could result in, among other things, changes to the issuer's management, board of directors, capitalization, dividend policy, business, structure, governing documents, and/or similar actions; (g) make a proposal or proposals for the acquisition or sale of all or part of the equity interests in and/or assets of the issuer; and/or (h) engage in a combination or combinations of the foregoing plans and/or proposals.

Each plan and proposal (and potential alternative plan or proposal, if any) may be subject to, and depend upon, a variety of factors, including, without limitation: (i) current and anticipated future trading prices of Issuer Securities; (ii) the issuer's financial condition and position, results of operations, prospects, and strategic direction; (iii) general industry conditions; (iv) the availability, form, and terms of financing and other investment and business opportunities; (v) general stock market and economic conditions; (vi) tax considerations; and (vii) other factors.

Any purchase, sale, acquisition, proposal, recommendation, or other action or transaction may be taken or made at any time without prior notice.  Although the plans and proposals described herein reflect the plans and proposals presently contemplated by each reporting person with respect to the issuer and/or Issuer Securities, each such plan and proposal is subject to change at any time and dependent upon contingencies and assumed and speculative conditions and other factors, including, without limitation, actions taken by the issuer and the issuer's board of directors and the outcome of the discussions and communications and other actions and transactions described above.  There can be no assurance that any such plan or proposal will be consummated or pursued or result in any transaction described herein or that any action contemplated by any such plan or proposal (or any similar action) will be taken.

Except as otherwise described herein, no reporting person 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.  However, each reporting person may, at any time and from time to time, plan and/or propose to effect and/or cause one or more actions relating to and/or resulting in one or more of the actions specified in clause (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
