This Amendment No. 6 amends the Schedule 13D filed with SEC on October 16, 2003 (together with amendments thereto filed before this Amendment No. 6, the “Schedule 13D”), by Michael Bernstein and certain other persons with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Crown Crafts, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The prior Amendment No. 4 disclosed the dissolution of the group that included Mr. Bernstein, and, accordingly, this Amendment No. 6 (like Amendment No. 5) discloses information only about Mr. Bernstein and his beneficial ownership of Common Stock.
Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This statement relates to shares of the Common Stock of the Company. The Company has its principal executive offices at 916 South Burnside Avenue, Gonzales, Louisiana 70737.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
This statement is filed by Michael Bernstein, a U.S. citizen, whose business or residence address and present principal occupation is listed below:
| Name |
Address |
Occupation | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Michael Bernstein | 2100 RiverEdge Parkway | Chairman and CEO of B.C.S. | ||||||
| Suite 300 | Holdings, Inc. | |||||||
| Atlanta, Georgia 30328 | ||||||||
During the past five years, Mr. Bernstein has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations), or has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding 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.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Michael Bernstein acquired the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him by purchases in the open market using his own personal funds, through an employee stock ownership plan, by gift and by inheritance.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Mr. Bernstein acquired the shares of Common Stock reported in Item 5 below for his own account, and for investment purposes, with no intention of changing or influencing control of the Company or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect. However, Mr. Bernstein has recommended, and from time to time may continue to recommend, to the Company’s management various strategies for increasing shareholder value. Among other things, Mr. Bernstein has in the past suggested that a representative of the larger shareholders of the Company be added to the Board. That suggestion was declined.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
As of January 17, 2007, Michael Bernstein beneficially owns the number of shares shown in the following table.
| Number of Shares | Percent of | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Beneficially Owned | Outstanding | ||||||
| Michael Bernstein | 654,957 | 6.60 | ||||||
The percentages of outstanding shares of Common Stock set out above are computed based on a total of 9,934,188 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 1, 2006, as reported by the Company in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
As of January 17, 2007, Michael Bernstein beneficially owns a total of 654,957 shares of Common Stock. Mr. Bernstein has sole voting and dispositive power of 589,957 shares of Common Stock, of which 469,891 shares are held directly or in personal retirement accounts, 84,486 shares are held by a family foundation of which Mr. Bernstein is sole trustee, and 35,580 shares are held by Mr. Bernstein as the sole custodian for the benefit of his daughters. Mr. Bernstein is also a co-trustee of a trust that owns 65,000 shares of Common Stock, and Mr. Bernstein may therefore be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over those shares.
In the past 60 calendar days, Mr. Bernstein has disposed of shares of common stock on the dates in open market transactions, in the amounts and for the prices shown on the following table.
| Date | ||||||||
