Item 2.

Box 2003 GT, Grand Pavilion Commercial Centre, 802 West Bay Road, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands.
 
(c) The principal business of CGI is to provide investment management services to private individuals and institutions.  The principal business of SPOT, CMAG, CSO and CREL is to invest in securities.  The principal business of Mr. Hall is to serve as President of CGI.
 
(d) None of the Reporting Persons or persons listed on Appendix A has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
 
(e) None of the Reporting Persons or persons listed on Appendix A has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceedings was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

CUSIP No.  25400B108
 
SCHEDULE 13D
Page 9 of 19 Pages


 
in the aggregate to purchase the Common Stock reported in this Schedule 13D.
 
The source of the funds used to acquire the Common Stock reported herein is the working capital of SPOT, CMAG, CSO and CREL for the shares of Common Stock held by each of them, and margin borrowings described in the following sentence. Such shares of Common Stock are held by the Reporting Persons in commingled margin accounts, which may extend margin credit to the Reporting Persons from time to time, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin account are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account. The margin accounts bear interest at a rate based upon the broker’s call rate from time to time in effect. Because other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Common Stock reported herein.

Item 4.
PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
   
 
The Reporting Persons acquired the Common Stock for investment in the ordinary course of business. The Reporting Persons believe that the Common Stock at current market prices are undervalued and represent an attractive investment opportunity. The Reporting Persons may make further purchases of shares of Common Stock from time to time and may dispose of or sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by them at any time.
 
On August 8, 2012, CMAG, in compliance with the bylaws of the Issuer, submitted its formal notice of intent (the "Notice") to nominate directors at the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer (including any adjournment or postponement thereof or any special meeting held in lieu thereof, the "Annual Meeting").  The Notice stated that, at the Annual Meeting, CMAG intended to nominate for election as directors of the Issuer, (i) Joseph A. DePerio, (ii) Peter Markham and (iii) Melissa B. Fisher (collectively, the "Nominees"), as well as present proposals to adopt certain resolutions at the Annual Meeting, including amendments to the Issuer's bylaws.  The foregoing summary of the Notice is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Notice, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference herein.
 
On November 1, 2012, the Reporting Persons issued a press release announcing that they intended to nominate the foregoing three individuals to the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Issuer. The public announcement also indicated that the Reporting Persons understood that the Issuer was exploring a sale of the company and that the Reporting Persons “welcomed” such a sale at a fair price. In the event that a sale of the Issuer is not announced prior to the Annual Meeting, which is currently scheduled to be held on February 21, 2012, the Reporting Persons still intend to nominate and solicit proxies on behalf of Ms. Fisher and Messrs. DePerio and Markham.  The foregoing summary of the press release is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the press release, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D.
 
The Reporting Persons have, from time to time, engaged in discussions with the Board and its representatives regarding the Issuer's Board composition, management, strategic alternatives and direction and related matters.  The Reporting Persons may continue to discuss such matters with the Board, or with management of the Issuer, as well as pursue other plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Board, price levels of the Common Stock, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities market 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, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock or selling some or all of their shares of Common Stock, and, alone or with others, pursuing discussions with the management, the Board, other shareholders of the Issuer and third parties with regard to its investment in the Issuer, and/or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
