Item 1. 
Security and Issuer
 
This Amendment No. 18 to Schedule 13D (“Schedule”) relates to shares of common stock, $0.10 par value (the “Common Stock”), of TigerLogic Corporation (the “Issuer”).  The principal executive office of the Issuer is 2855 Michelle Drive, Suite 190, Irvine, CA 92606.  All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Amendment No. 17 to the Schedule, filed December 31, 2013.

Item 4. 
Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

The Reporting Persons acquired the shares of Common Stock reported herein for investment purposes.  Richard Koe (“Koe”) currently serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

Astoria’s partnership agreement provides that the term of the partnership ended December 31, 2013 and that upon Astoria’s termination, its general partners are to wind up Astoria’s affairs, liquidate assets to pay liabilities, and distribute the remaining assets.  In the interest of liquidating the assets in an orderly and rational fashion, given the size of Astoria’s position in the Common Stock and the general illiquidity of the Common Stock, Astoria’s partners agreed December 23, 2013, to amend the partnership agreement to provide, among other things, that (i) as part of the winding up process, Astoria would seek to sell its holdings in the Issuer to one or a small number of strategic block purchasers and would engage investment bankers or similar financial advisers (“Advisers”) to assist with that process, (ii) the general partners were to form a Limited Partner Advisory Committee (the “Committee”), with which Astoria’s general partners were to consult regarding the engagement of certain advisers and any potential sale of Astoria’s holdings, (iii) proposals to sell the Common Stock held by Astoria would be subject to approval by a vote of Astoria’s partners, and (iv) if Astoria had not completed a sale, agreed to a sale, or at least entered into substantive negotiations with one or more purchasers by June 30, 2014, it would begin the process of making liquidating distributions of its net assets, in-kind, as promptly as practicable, consistent with and subject to regulatory constraints that affect Astoria and/or its general partners.  Thereafter, Astoria and its general partners, among other things, formed a Committee and engaged an Adviser to help explore alternatives for monetizing Astoria’s holdings.

The Issuer disclosed in its Form 10-K for the period ended March 31, 2014, that its Board of Directors formed a special committee consisting of independent directors (the “Special Committee”), which engaged its own legal and financial advisers to evaluate any proposed sale by Astoria of its Common Stock that may be presented to the Issuer as well as other strategic alternatives available to the Issuer.  Astoria’s Adviser is coordinating its efforts with the Special Committee’s adviser in an effort to pursue a value-maximizing strategy.

In order to allow more time to continue exploring potential sales, exchanges or other transactions, Astoria’s partners voted as of July 22, 2014 to further amend Astoria’s partnership agreement to provide that, pursuant to its winding up, Astoria will continue to pursue ways to sell, exchange, or otherwise liquidate the Common Stock it holds in one or more strategic transactions or by other avenues and that, if Astoria has not, by December 31, 2014, agreed to a sale, exchange, or other transaction by which it may liquidate its Common Stock, or at least entered into substantive negotiations with one or more counterparties over definitive terms to do so, it will begin the process of making liquidating distributions of its net assets, in-kind, as promptly as practical, consistent with and subject to regulatory constraints that affect Astoria and/or its general partners, unless prior to such time a majority in

interest of Astoria’s limited partners have agreed to a further extension of the period during which the Partnership will pursue those efforts described above.

Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals that relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. However, as prospective purchasers are pursued, certain terms may be negotiated that relate to, or could result in, such matters. Further, in connection with the process of winding Astoria up, the Reporting Persons may review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate additional plans or proposals with respect thereto.
