Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

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

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The securities reported in this Schedule 13D as directly beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons were acquired with funds of approximately $1,087,216 (including brokerage commissions). All such funds were provided from the working capital or personal funds of the Wynnefield Reporting Persons who directly beneficially own such securities.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a), (b) and (c) As of December 21, 2012, the Wynnefield Reporting Persons beneficially owned in the aggregate 1,342,101 Common Stock, constituting approximately 13.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the percentage of shares owned being based upon 9,804,248 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 31, 2012, as set forth in the Issuer’s most recent report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2012).

Name Number of Common Stock Percentage of Outstanding Common Stock
Partners 502,555 5.1%
Partners I 542,921 5.5%
Offshore 294,625 3.0%
Plan 2,000 .02%

WCM is the sole general partner of Partners and Partners I and, accordingly, may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock that Partners and Partners I beneficially own. WCM, as the sole general partner of Partners and Partners I, has the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the Common Stock that Partners and Partners I beneficially own. Messrs. Obus and Landes are the co-managing members of WCM and, accordingly, each of Messrs. Obus and Landes may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock that WCM may be deemed to beneficially own. Messrs. Obus and Landes, as co-managing members of WCM, share the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock that WCM may be deemed to beneficially own.

WCI is the sole investment manager of Offshore and, accordingly, may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock that Offshore beneficially owns. WCI, as the sole investment manager of Offshore, has the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the Common Stock that Offshore beneficially owns. Messrs.

CUSIP No. 228309100 13D/A Page 11 of 13 Pages

The Plan is an employee profit sharing plan. Mr. Obus is the portfolio manager of the Plan and has the sole authority to direct the voting and the disposition of the shares of Common Stock that the Plan beneficially owns. Accordingly, Mr. Obus may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the shares of Common Stock that the Plan may be deemed to beneficially own.

Beneficial ownership of the Common Stock shown on the cover pages of and set forth elsewhere in this Schedule 13D for each member of the Wynnefield Reporting Persons assumes that they have not formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) under the Exchange Act, and Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated thereunder. If the members of the Wynnefield Reporting Persons were deemed to have formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) and Rule 13d-5(b)(1), the group would be deemed to own beneficially (and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over) 1,342,101 Common Stock, constituting approximately 13.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the percentage of shares owned being based upon 9,804,248 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 31, 2012, as set forth in the Issuer’s most recent report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2012).

The filing of this Schedule 13D and any future amendment by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons, and the inclusion of information herein and therein with respect to WCM, WCI and Messrs. Obus and Landes, shall not be considered an admission that any of such persons, for the purpose of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, are the beneficial owners of any shares in which such persons do not have a pecuniary interest. Each of WCM, WCI and Messrs. Obus and Landes disclaims any beneficial ownership of the shares covered by this Schedule 13D.

The Wynnefield Reporting Persons have sold shares of Common Stock in open market transactions with brokers during the last 60 days, as follows:
