Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
 
The information concerning percentages of ownership set forth below is based on 7,751,131 shares of Common Stock reported outstanding as of June 3, 2011 in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed on June 10, 2011.
 
Discovery Equity Partners beneficially owns 590,045 shares of Common Stock as of July 20, 2011, which represents 7.6% of the outstanding Common Stock.
