The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 1”). This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

The securities of the Issuer directly owned by the 18999 Trust and the Insight Trust were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business). The aggregate purchase price of the 973,112 Shares directly owned by the 18999 Trust is approximately $3,124,200, including brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 200,200 Shares directly owned by the Insight Trust is approximately $574,237, including brokerage commissions.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 12,948,950 Shares outstanding as of November 5, 2018, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 8, 2018.

(a)                As of the close of business on the date hereof, the 18999 Trust directly beneficially owned 973,112 Shares, constituting approximately 7.5% of the outstanding Shares.

As of the close of business on the date hereof, Mr. Negari directly owned 133 Shares, constituting less than 1% of the outstanding Shares.

Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein that he or it does not directly own.

(b)               Each of the 18999 Trust and Mr. Negari share the power to vote or direct the vote of, and to dispose or direct the disposition of, the Shares owned by the 18999 Trust.

Mr. Negari has the sole power to vote and dispose of the Shares directly owned by him.

Each of the Insight Trust and Mr. Ambrose share the power to vote or direct the vote of, and to dispose or direct the disposition of, the Shares owned by the Insight Trust.
