Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:
This Amendment is being filed following the acquisition on June 6, 2007, by Peter Friedli and Venturetec Inc. of beneficial ownership (as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) of shares of the Issuers Common Stock. On June 6, 2007, in a private placement intended to comply with Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 to institutional and accredited investors primarily based in Switzerland, Peter Friedli individually purchased 1,230,229 shares of the Issuers Common Stock and Venturetec, Inc. purchased 236,260 shares of the Issuers Common Stock, in each case at a purchase price of $11.38 per share. The shares of Common Stock acquired by Mr. Friedli and Venturetec Inc. were purchased for investment purposes. The form of Subscription Agreement dated June 6, 2007, entered into by and between the Issuer and each of the purchasers of the shares of Common Stock in the private placement was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.2, to the Issuers Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on June 7, 2007, and is incorporated herein by reference. Among other things, this Subscription Agreement affords the named subscribers with limited registration rights.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
(a) The aggregate number and percentage of Common Stock and the Issuers derivative securities (including warrants and options granted by the Issuer, and the Notes as described in Item 4 hereof) to which this Schedule 13D relates is 15,416,351 shares, representing approximately 50.7% of the 30,436,203 outstanding (or deemed outstanding) shares of the Issuer. This latter number is arrived at by adding the number of shares reported as being outstanding in the Issuers most recently filed Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 (27,470,132 shares) to the number of shares that would be received by the Reporting Persons if they were to convert all of the Notes and other derivative securities held by them into Common Stock of the Issuer (1,472,222 shares). None of the Reporting Persons has converted any of the Notes or exercised any of the other derivative securities held by them and reported herein as such, but have included the shares issuable upon conversion or exercise in the share calculations as if the same had been converted or exercised, pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d) of the Exchange Act.
