         Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

         On July 21, 2005, the Board of Directors of GVI Security Solutions,
Inc. (the "Company") approved compensation arrangements for non-employee
directors of the Company. Pursuant to these arrangements, commencing August
2005, each non-employee director of the Company will be entitled to receive a
monthly payment of $2,000 in cash and an award of shares of common stock of the
Company with an aggregate fair market value of $1,000. It is anticipated that
the plan under which such shares of common stock will be issued will be
formulated, and approved of by the Company's board of directors, in August 2005.
For the purposes of the plan, Howard Safir, the Company's Chairman, has been
deemed not to be a non-employee director of the Company. The Company will file a
copy of the plan following its approval by the Company's board of directors by
amendment to this Form 8-K.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors;
           Appointment of Principal Officers.

         (d) On July 21, 2005, The Honorable Asa Hutchinson and John Gutfreund
were appointed to the Company's Board of Directors.

         Asa Hutchinson is currently a partner in the Washington, D.C. law firm
Venable LLP, and the chair of Venable's Homeland Security Group. Mr. Hutchinson
was confirmed by the U.S. Senate as Under Secretary for Border and
Transportation Security at the Department of Homeland Security in January 2003,
shortly after the department was created. As one of the nation's top-ranking
homeland security officials after Secretary Tom Ridge, he was responsible for
more than 110,000 federal employees housed in such agencies as the
Transportation Security Administration, Customs and Border Protection,
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Federal Law Enforcement Training
Center. Prior to his work with the Department of Homeland Security, Mr.
Hutchinson was elected three times to the U.S. House of Representatives, where
he served on the Judiciary and Intelligence committees, before leading the Drug
Enforcement Administration. He began his career by practicing law in Arkansas,
where he tried over 100 jury trials over 21 years.

         John Guttfreund has been a managing director at C.E. Unterberg, Towbin
LLC ("CEUT") since January 2002, and the President of Gutfreund & Co., Inc. a
financial consulting company, since 1993. CEUT supplies capital and financial
advice to companies in the technology, healthcare and global security
industries. Its services include public offerings, direct investments, mergers
and acquisitions and private placements. Formerly, Mr. Gutfreund was with
Salomon Brothers for over 38 years, including as its Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer from 1981 until 1991. He is a former Vice Chairman of
the New York Stock Exchange and a past member of the Board of Directors for the
Securities Industry Association. Mr. Guttfreund also serves as director of a
number of private organizations and several public companies.

         CEUT acted as financial advisor for the Company in the Company's
December 2004 private placement of approximately 22,620,000 shares of common
stock in which the Company received gross proceeds of $33.9 million. CEUT was
paid a cash fee equal to seven percent of the gross proceeds from the private
placement, plus its legal costs and expenses.
