Item 3.

Item 3 is hereby amended to add the following:
 
On April 1, 2014, Lone Star Value Investors purchased the LS Convertible Promissory Note (as defined and further described in Item 4 below) for $500,000 in cash.  Pursuant to the LS Convertible Promissory Note, at any time after July 30, 2014, Lone Star Value Investors may convert the unpaid principal amount under the LS Convertible Promissory Note into shares of Common Stock at $4.66 per share.  Based upon the original principal amount of $500,000, the LS Convertible Promissory Note may be converted into a total of 107,296 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the LS Convertible Promissory Note.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
 
On April 1, 2014, Lone Star Value Investors entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Company (the “LS Financing Agreement”) pursuant to which Lone Star Value Investors purchased (i) for $6.0 million in cash, an unsecured promissory note made by the Company in the principal amount of $6.0 million (the “LS Promissory Note”), bearing interest at 10.0% per annum, with interest payable semiannually and any unpaid principal and interest due on April 1, 2019, and (ii) for $0.5 million in cash, an unsecured convertible promissory note made by the Company in the principal amount of $0.5 million (the “LS Convertible Promissory Note”, and together with the “LS Promissory Note”, the “LS Notes”), bearing interest at 5.0% per annum, with interest payable semiannually and any unpaid principal and interest due on April 1, 2019.
 
At any time after July 30, 2014, Lone Star Value Investors may convert the unpaid principal amount under the LS Convertible Promissory Note into shares of Common Stock at $4.66 per share.  The Company may prepay the LS Notes at any time after a specified amount of advance notice to Lone Star Value Investors.  The LS Notes provide for customary events of default, the occurrence of any of which may result in the principal and unpaid interest then outstanding becoming immediately due and payable.  Additionally, pursuant to the LS Financing Agreement, the Company agreed to enter into a registration rights agreement with Lone Star Value Investors on usual and customary terms and conditions approved by the parties in their reasonable discretion.
 
The foregoing description of the LS Financing Agreement, the LS Promissory Note and the LS Convertible Promissory Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
