Item 2.  Identity and Background.

This statement is being filed jointly by Dr. Rudolph W. Gunnerman and his spouse, Doris Gunnerman (the “Reporting Persons”). Dr. Gunnerman is currently the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  The Company’s address is set forth in Item 1.  Mrs. Gunnerman is retired. The Reporting Persons’ address is 6601 Windy Hill Way, Reno, Nevada 89511.

During the last five years, neither of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors) or 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 of finding any violation with respect to such laws.


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

In January 1999, Dr. Gunnerman formed GRD, Inc. (“GRD”), a Nevada corporation owned by him and Mrs. Gunnerman.  On December 4, 2000, pursuant to an Exchange Agreement between the Company and GRD, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of GRD, and Dr. Gunnerman and Mrs. Gunnerman were issued an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of Common Stock in exchange for their shares of capital stock of GRD (the “GRD Acquisition”).  

Subsequent to the GRD Acquisition, the Reporting Persons jointly acquired an additional 23,554,913 shares of Common Stock  for an aggregate purchase price of $11,268,800.  The source of all funds used to acquire shares of Common Stock purchased by the Reporting Persons since the date of the GRD Acquisition was the Reporting Persons’ own personal funds.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

The shares of Common Stock reported herein were initially acquired by the Reporting Persons for investment purposes.

On January 12, 2007, Dr. Gunnerman delivered to the Company a written consent of the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Written Consent”), which was signed by, among others, the Reporting Persons.  Pursuant to the Written Consent, various amendments were effected to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws.  These amendments include, among others, (a) the requirement that an Annual Meeting of the stockholders be held on the first Tuesday in April at 850 Spire Islands Drive, Sparks, Nevada; (b) modifications to the procedures for stockholder nominations of directors to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors; (c) the fixing of the number of Board members at six; (d) the elimination of “cause” as a requirement for the removal of directors; (e) the inability of the Board to remove any officer of the Company until the first annual Board meeting to be held following the next annual meeting of stockholders following January 11, 2007; (f) the inability of the Board of Directors to issue, prior to the next annual meeting of stockholders (i) any shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to more than one vote per share and, (ii) in the aggregate, in excess of 10% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company; and (g) that the Amended and Restated Bylaws may be amended only by stockholders holding a majority of the Company’s voting stock.  A full copy of the

Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Company's financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the shares of Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Company as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock, selling some or all of their shares of Common Stock, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in this Item 4.

The order of business at each such meeting shall be as determined by the chair man of the meeting.

Notice of the time and place of adjourned meetings must be given by “public announcement” (as defined in Section 2.9). The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.



2.






Section 2.7

Voting; Manner of Acting.

(a)

Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, or in any resolution providing for the issuance of the preferred stock adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority expressly vested in it by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and in compliance with Section 7.2, each stockholder of record shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of voting stock standing registered in such stockholder’s name on the record date.

(b)

Except as otherwise provided herein, all votes with respect to shares standing in the name of an individual on the record date (including pledged shares) shall be cast only by that individual or such individual’s duly authorized proxy, attorney-in-fact, or voting trustee(s) pursuant to a voting trust. With respect to shares held by a representative of the estate of a deceased stockholder, guardian, conservator, custodian or trustee, votes may be cast by such holder upon proof of such representative capacity, even though the shares do not stand in the name of such holder. In the case of shares under the control of a receiver, the receiver may cast votes carried by such shares even though the shares do not stand in the name of the receiver; provided, that the order of a court of competent jurisdiction which appoints the receiver contains the authority to cast votes carried by such shares. I f shares stand in the name of a minor, votes may be cast only by a parent of such minor or such other guardian as may have provided the Corporation with written proof of appointment.

(c)

With respect to shares standing in the name of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity on the record date, votes may be cast: (i) in the case of a corporation, by such individual as the bylaws of such other corporation prescribe, by such individual as may be appointed by resolution of the board of directors of such other corporation or by such individual (including the officer making the authorization) authorized in writing to do so by the chairman of the board, if any, president or any vice president of such corporation and (ii) in the case of a partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity, by an individual representing such stockholder upon presentation to the Corporation of satisfactory evidence of his or her authority to do so.

(d)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Corporation shall not vote, directly or indirectly, shares of its own stock owned by it; and such shares shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares. If shares in the Corporation are held by the Corporation in a fiduciary capacity, no votes shall be cast with respect thereto on any matter except to the extent that the beneficial owner thereof possesses and exercises a right to vote and gives the Corporation binding instructions on how to vote.

(e)

Any holder of shares entitled to vote on any matter may cast a portion of the votes in favor of such matter and refrain from casting the remaining votes or cast the same against the proposal, except in the case of elections of directors. If such holder entitled to vote votes any of its shares affirmatively and fails to specify the number of affirmative votes, it will be conclusively presumed that the holder is casting affirmative votes with respect to all shares held.

(f)

With respect to shares standing in the name of two or more persons,



3.





whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, husband and wife as community property, tenants by the entirety, voting trustees, persons entitled to vote under a stockholder voting agreement or otherwise and shares held by two or more persons (including proxy holders) having the same fiduciary relationship in respect to the same shares, votes may be cast in the following manner:

(i)

If only one person votes, the vote of such person binds all.

(ii)

If more than one person casts votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all.

(iii)

If more than one person casts votes, but the vote is evenly split on a particular matter, the votes shall be deemed cast proportionately, as split.

(g)

If a quorum is present, unless the Articles of Incorporation provide for a different proportion, action by the stockholders entitled to vote on a matter other than the election of directors, is approved by and is the act of the stockholders, if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action, unless voting by classes is required for any action of the stockholders by the laws of the State of Nevada, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in which case the number of votes cast in favor of the action by the voting power of each such class must exceed the number of votes cast in opposition to the action by the voting power of each such class.

(h)

If a quorum is present, unless elected by written consent pursuant to these Bylaws and Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast.

Section 2.8

Proxies. At all meetings of stockholders, a stockholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the stockholder or as may be permitted by law, or by his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy must be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation or his or her representative, or otherwise delivered telephonically or electronically as set forth in the applicable proxy statement, at or before the time of the meeting.

Section 2.9

Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations.

(a)

Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of business to be transacted by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (1) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice with respect to such meeting, (2) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (3) by any stockholder of record of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record at the time of the giving of the notice provided for in the following paragraph, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.9.

(b)

For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to paragraph (a)(3) of this Section 2.9, (1) the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and (2) such business must be a proper matter for stockholder action under the Nevada General Corporation Law. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice will be delivered to the principal executive offices of

ARTICLE 6
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.1

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a)

For purposes of this Article VI, (i) “Indemnitee” shall mean each director or officer who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved in, any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving in any capacity at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent, partner, member, managing member, manager or fiduciary of, or in any other capacity for, another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, or other enterprise; and (ii) “Proceeding” shall mean any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding (including, without limitation, an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation), whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative.

(b)

Each Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, taxes, penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding; provided that such Indemnitee either is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138



10.





or acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any Proceeding that is criminal in nature, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or did not act in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal proceeding he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee for any claim, issue or matter as to which the Indemnitee has been adjudged by a court of comp etent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the Corporation or for any amounts paid in settlement to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the Proceeding was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such amounts as the court deems proper. Except as so ordered by a court and for advancement of expenses pursuant to this Section, indemnification may not be made to or on behalf of an Indemnitee if a final adjudication establishes that his or her acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law and was material to the cause of action.

(c)

Indemnification pursuant to this Section shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators.

(d)

The expenses of directors and officers incurred in defending a Proceeding involving alleged acts or omissions of such director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation or while serving in any capacity at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent, partner, member, managing member, manager or fiduciary of, or in any other capacity for, another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, must be paid by the Corporation or through insurance purchased and maintained by the Corporation or through other financial arrangements made by the Corporation, promptly as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. To the extent that a director or officer of the Corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Corporation shall indemnify him or her against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred in by him or her in connection with the defense.

Section 6.2

Indemnification of Employees and Other Persons. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors and to the extent provided in such action, indemnify employees and other persons as though they were Indemnitees.

Section 6.3

Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification provided in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors, or otherwise.



11.






Section 6.4

Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, member, managing member or agent of another Corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise for any liability asserted against him or her and liability and expenses incurred by him or her in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation has the authority to indemnify him or her against such liability and expenses.

Section 6.5

Other Financial Arrangements. The other financial arrangements which may be made by the Corporation may include the following (i) the creation of a trust fund; (ii) the establishment of a program of self-insurance; (iii) the securing of its obligation of indemnification by granting a security interest or other lien on any assets of the Corporation; (iv) the establishment of a letter of credit, guarantee or surety. No financial arrangement made pursuant to this subsection may provide protection for a person adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law, except with respect to advancement of expenses or indemnification ordered by a court.

Section 6.6

Other Matters Relating To Insurance Or Financial Arrangements. Any insurance or other financial arrangement made on behalf of a person pursuant to this Section may be provided by the Corporation or any other person approved by the Board of Directors, even if all or part of the other person’s stock or other securities is owned by the Corporation. In the absence of fraud (i) the decision of the Board of Directors as to the propriety of the terms and conditions of any insurance or other financial arrangement made pursuant to this Section and the choice of the person to provide the insurance or other financial arrangement is conclusive; and (ii) the insurance or other financial arrangement is not void or voidable and does not subject any director approving it to personal liability for his action; even if a director approving the insurance or other financial arrangement is a b eneficiary of the insurance or other financial arrangement.

Section 6.7

Right of Indemnitee To Bring Suit. If a claim made by an Indemnitee under this Article is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period will be ten days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses, the Indemnitee will be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce any right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it will be a defense that, and (ii) in an y suit by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses the Corporation will be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the



12.





commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, will create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article or otherwise will be on the Corp oration.

Section 6.8

Amendment. The provisions of this Article VI relating to indemnification shall constitute a contract between the Corporation and each of its directors and officers which may be modified as to any director or officer only with that person’s prior written consent specifically referring to these provisions or as specifically provided in this Article. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws relating to their amendment generally, any repeal or amendment of this Article which is adverse to any director or officer shall apply to such director or officer only on a prospective basis, and shall not limit the rights of an Indemnitee to indemnification with respect to any action or failure to act occurring prior to the time of such repeal or amendment.

Section 6.9

Notice and Other Indemnification Procedures.

(a)

Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of or the threat of commencement of any Proceeding, the Indemnitee shall, if the Indemnitee believes that indemnification with respect thereto may be sought from the Corporation, notify the Corporation of the commencement or threat of commencement thereof.

(b)

If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of the commencement of a Proceeding, the Corporation has D&O Insurance in effect, the Corporation shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Corporation shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such D&O Insurance policies.

(c)

In the event the Corporation shall be obligated to advance the expenses for any Proceeding against the Indemnitee, the Corporation, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding, with counsel approved by the Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), upon the delivery to the Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by the Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Corporation, the Corporation will not be liable to the Indemnitee under these Bylaws for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to the same proceeding, provided that: (a) the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his own counsel in any such proceeding at the Indemnitee’s expense; and (b) if (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been previously aut horized by the Corporation, (ii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Corporation and the Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (iii) the Corporation shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such



13.





proceeding, then the fees and expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Corporation.

Section 6.10

Exceptions. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall not be obligated:

(a)

Claims Initiated By Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance expenses to the Indemnitee with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by the Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to proceedings specifically authorized by the Board or brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification and/or advancement of expenses arising under these Bylaws, the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Corporation or any subsidiary or any statute or law, but such indemnification or advancement of expenses may be provided by the Corporation in specific cases if the Board finds it to be appropriate; or

(b)

Unauthorized Settlements. To indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder for any amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding unless the Corporation consents in advance in writing to such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or

(c)

Securities Law Actions. To indemnify the Indemnitee on account of any suit in which judgment is rendered against the Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by the Indemnitee of securities of the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law.
