Item 2.                      Identity and Background.

 

This Schedule 13D is being filed jointly by

 

  Farnam Street Partners, L.P., a Minnesota limited partnership (“Farnam Fund”)
     
  FS Special Opportunities I, L.P., a Minnesota limited partnership (“FS I Fund”)
     
  FS Special Opportunities II, L.P., a Minnesota limited partnership (“FS II Fund”)
     
  Farnam Street Capital, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Farnam Capital”)
     
  Raymond E. Cabillot as the Chief Executive Officer and a director of Farnam Capital

(collectively, the “Farnam Group”).

 

(b) The principal office and place of business for all of the Reporting Persons is 3033 Excelsior Boulevard, Suite 320, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55416.

 

(c) Farnam Fund was organized in January 1998 as a Minnesota Limited Partnership. FS I Fund was organized in April 2013. FS II Fund was organized in April 2016. Farnam Fund, FS I Fund and FS II Fund (collectively, the “Funds”) are private investment partnerships whose principal business activities involve investing in equity securities of publicly traded companies, as well as other types of securities. Mr. Cabillot serves as Chief Executive Officer and a director of Farnam Capital, the General Partner of the Funds, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Mr. Peter O. Haeg is President, Secretary and a director of Farnam Capital.

 

(d) - (e) During the last five years, neither the Funds, Farnam Capital, nor the principals of Farnam Capital have been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors) nor have the parties been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such individual was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting, or mandating activity subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

(f) The Funds are Minnesota limited partnerships. Farnam Capital is a Minnesota corporation. Messrs. Cabillot and Haeg are citizens of the United States of America.

 

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

 

The source of the funds used for purchases by Farnam Capital are the investment proceeds of the Funds. The source of funds used to purchases by Mr. Cabillot are personal funds and are held in an IRA account.

  

 

  

Item 4.                      Purpose of Transaction.

 

All of the shares of the Issuer owned by the Reporting Persons were, at the time of their purchase, acquired for investment purposes in the ordinary course of business. Farnam Capital makes investments in companies that it believes are undervalued and represent an attractive investment opportunity. At this time, Farnam Capital believes the stock of the Issuer to be very undervalued and would like to see the Issuer continue to buy back shares, but at a faster pace. Farnam Capital may from time to time purchase additional shares of the Issuer’s stock or dispose of all or some of the shares.

 

Except as set forth in this Item 4, Farnam Capital has no present plans or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Farnam Capital intends to review its investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and, depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the common stock, conditions in the securities markets, conditions in the industry and general economic conditions, may in the future take such actions with respect to its investment in the Issuer as it deems appropriate including, without limitation, holding discussions with or making formal proposals to management or the board of directors of the Issuer, other stockholders of the Issuer or other third parties regarding strategic or financial matters, purchasing additional shares of common stock or selling some or all of its shares or to change its intention with respect to any and all matters to in Item 4. 

 

Item 5.                      Interests in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a)    Farnam Fund beneficially owns 279,344 shares of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 2.7% of the Common Stock. FS I Fund beneficially owns 128,375 shares of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 1.2% of the Common Stock. FS II Fund beneficially owns 109,358 shares of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 1.1% of the Common Stock. Mr. Cabillot beneficially owns 3,000 shares (held in an IRA account) of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer, representing less than 1% of the Common Stock. (All percentages are based upon 10,388,360 shares outstanding, as reported in the Issuer's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016).

 

(b) The Funds do not share voting and dispositive power with respect to any shares. Farnam Capital may be deemed to beneficially own the aggregate of 517,077 shares of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer held by the Funds by virtue of its right to vote and dispositive power, representing approximately 5.0% of the Common Stock.

 

Mr. Cabillot and Mr. Haeg share voting and dispositive power of the Common Stock beneficially owned by the Funds by virtue of each entity’s and person’s relationship to the other as described in Item 2(a).
