Page 6 of  9 Pages    
 
Item 4.                                        Purpose of Transaction.
The Reporting Persons acquired their shares of Common Stock for investment. The Reporting Persons purchased shares of Common Stock because they believed that the shares may present significant opportunities for realization of increased stockholder value.
The Reporting Persons plan to continuously evaluate, among other factors, the financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects of the Issuer, the securities markets in general and the market for the Common Stock in particular, prevailing economic conditions and expected trends, all with a view to determining whether to hold, decrease or increase their investment in the Common Stock, through open market, privately negotiated or any other transactions.
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, 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, selling some or all of their Shares, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.
Item 5.                                        Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a)            As of the date of this filing, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 1,006,104 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 5.4% of the outstanding Common Stock (calculated based on information included in the Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2016, filed by the Issuer on February 24, 2016, which reported that 18,639,407 shares of Common Stock were outstanding as of February 17, 2016).

 (b)            Privet Management is the Managing Partner of Privet, and Mr. Levenson is the sole managing member of Privet Management. Accordingly, Privet Management and Mr. Levenson may be deemed to hold shared voting power and dispositive power with respect to the Shares held by Privet, and Mr. Levenson may be deemed to hold shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the Shares held by Privet Management.

As a result of the formation of a group constituted hereby, each of the Reporting Persons could be deemed to beneficially own all the Shares; however, each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares held by other Reporting Persons except as expressly set forth above.

Except as set forth on the cover pages hereto and under this paragraph (b), each Reporting Person has the sole power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or direct the disposition of the Shares reported herein as owned by each such Reporting Person.
