Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
The shares of Common Stock purchased by Lone Star Value Investors were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business). Lone Star Value Investors purchased the 3,401,360 shares of Common Stock it beneficially owns in a private transaction with the Issuer for $50,000 on January 15, 2014.
 
The shares of Common Stock held in the Jeffrey E. Eberwein Revocable Trust U/A 10-01-2010 (the “Eberwein Trust”) were purchased with personal funds. The 6,786,588 shares of Common Stock held in the Eberwein Trust were purchased from the Issuer for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000 (approximately $0.0147 per share) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement by and between the Issuer and Mr. Eberwein dated as of October 1, 2013. Any contribution agreement between Lone Star Value Investors and the Eberwein Trust contemplating the transfer of such shares of Common Stock on August 29, 2014 is void ab initio.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

The Reporting Persons purchased the shares of Common Stock based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the shares of Common Stock, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity.  Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of shares of Common Stock at prices that would make the purchase or sale of shares of Common Stock desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of shares of Common Stock on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable. 

Kyle Hartley, the chief operating officer of Lone Star Value Management, is the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of the Issuer.  Hannah Bible, the chief compliance officer of Lone Star Value Management, is a director of the Issuer.
 
No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein.  The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis.  Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the shares of Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, engaging in communications with management and the Board of Directors of the Issuer, engaging in discussions with stockholders of the Issuer and others about the Issuer and the Reporting Persons’ investment, making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, board structure (including board composition) or operations of the Issuer, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock, selling some or all of their shares of Common Stock, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the shares of Common Stock, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.
