Lantis Laser Inc. (OTC: LLSR) (www.lantislaser.com) issued a statement drawing attention to a recent significant report on a leading professional dental website, www.DrBicuspid.com, highlighting the status of light-based diagnostic modalities for the early detection of decay.

Early detection of decay is an important part in the practice of minimally invasive dentistry and the “medical model” of finding disease early and treating it early with topical or chemical means to avoid surgical intervention.

Lantis' OCT Dental System is addressed in Part III.

The report was published on the Internet in three parts, with the last, Part III, titled:

"Beyond x-rays: Part III — OCT brings early decay to light" www.drbicuspid.com/index.aspx?sec=sup&sub=img&pag=dis&ItemID=300735&wf=34

Links to Part I and Part II, which discuss currently available diagnostic products, are accessible at the end of Part III.

Lantis' OCT Dental Imaging System is based on novel, light-based bio-medical imaging technology, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), that enables the dentist to do diagnostic imaging, chairside and in real-time. Images can be captured at a resolution of up to 10 times that of x-ray, enabling early detection of decay and detailed examination of microstructural defects. As the power source is light-based, unlike x-ray there is no harmful radiation.

LEVP News:

July 15 - ViroPharma to Acquire Lev Pharmacueticals

* Acquisition Adds Late Stage Product Targeting Life-threatening Hereditary Angioedema Disease with Limited Treatment Options
* Companies to Host Conference Call at 10:30 A.M Eastern Today to Discuss Transaction

ViroPharma Incorporated (NASDAQ: VPHM) and Lev Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCBB: LEVP) announced that the companies have signed a definitive merger agreement under which ViroPharma will acquire Lev, a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic products for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, for $442.9 million of upfront consideration, or $2.75 per Lev share, comprised of $2.25 per share in cash and $0.50 per share in ViroPharma common stock (subject to a collar). Contingent consideration of up to $1.00 per share may be paid on achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones. The transaction with a potential net aggregate value of up to $617.5 million has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies. The companies expect the transaction to be completed by the end of 2008. In addition, concurrently with the execution of the merger agreement, ViroPharma purchased $20 million of Lev common stock.

The acquisition of Lev Pharmaceuticals further enhances ViroPharma’s pipeline with Cinryze™ (C1 inhibitor (human)), which is currently under regulatory review for approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a replacement therapy for patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE), also known as C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency. The use of replacement therapy in patients with C1-INH deficiency is supported by more than 35 years of clinical practice experience in Europe. C1-INH depletion is also implicated in a number of other serious inflammatory disorders.

Hereditary angioedema, or C1-INH deficiency, is a dangerous and potentially deadly inflammatory disease affecting up to 10,000 patients in the United States, caused by a genetic deficiency in an essential protein called C1 esterase inhibitor. Clinical studies have shown that prophylactic C1 inhibitor replacement therapy with Cinryze can significantly reduce the severity, duration and frequency of HAE attacks.

“This transaction is consistent with ViroPharma’s stated objective of broadening our portfolio of therapies for serious life-threatening conditions in selected specialty markets,” commented Vincent Milano, ViroPharma’s president and chief executive officer. “Lev’s orphan drug Cinryze™ is a life-saving therapy treating a very dangerous disease. This opportunity provides a clear strategic fit with ViroPharma: Cinryze targets a market that is addressable with modest additional infrastructure and further serves patients suffering from a disease with few treatment options. We are very pleased to add the expertise of Lev to our organization, and Cinryze to our growing portfolio of options for underserved patient populations with critical and urgent needs.”

“We believe this transaction recognizes the value we have created at Lev and provides our shareholders with attractive financial terms, through the upfront payment and the opportunity to continue to share in the success of Cinryze™ through the ownership of ViroPharma shares and the contingent value rights,” commented Judson Cooper, Lev’s chairman of the board. “Leveraging the combined resources of both companies not only strengthens our C1 inhibitor development platform, but also underscores our commitment to serving patients with critical unmet medical needs.”

Transaction Terms

Under the terms of the merger agreement, ViroPharma will acquire the outstanding common stock of Lev for $2.25 per share in cash and $0.50 per share in stock (“Upfront Consideration”), subject to a collar. The Upfront Consideration value could be lower or higher if the ViroPharma average common share price is lower than $10.03 or higher than $15.68 per share during the twenty trading day period prior to closing. In addition, Lev shareholders will receive the non-transferrable contractual right to two contingent payments (“CVR Payments”) of $0.50 each that could deliver up to an additional $174.6 million, or $1.00 per share in cash, if the Company meets certain targets. The first CVR payment of $0.50 per share would become payable when either (i) Cinryze is approved by the FDA for acute treatment of HAE and the FDA grants orphan exclusivity for Cinryze encompassing the acute treatment of HAE to the exclusion of all other human C1 inhibitor products or, (ii) orphan exclusivity for the acute treatment of HAE has not become effective for any third party’s human C1 inhibitor product for two years from the later of the date of closing and the date that orphan exclusivity for Cinryze for the prophylaxis of HAE becomes effective. The second CVR payment of $0.50 per share would become payable when Cinryze reaches at least $600 million in cumulative net product sales within 10 years of closing. The Upfront Consideration of $2.75 per share and the potential for a total value of $3.75 per share represent premiums of 49% and 103%, respectively, over Lev’s closing stock price on July 14, 2008.

Closing is subject to certain conditions including approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, the approval of Lev’s shareholders and other customary closing conditions. Mr. Judson Cooper, Lev’s chairman of the board, and Dr. Joshua Schein, Lev’s chief executive officer, respectively, and their affiliates, who collectively hold an aggregate of approximately 23% of the outstanding Lev shares, have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the transaction.

Additionally, ViroPharma agreed to make a $20 million investment in Lev, at signing, by purchasing 9,661,836 shares of Lev common stock at a 10 percent premium to the five day average closing price of Lev’s shares for the period ending Friday, July 11, 2008, sold pursuant to Lev’s effective registration statement on Form S-3.

J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. advised ViroPharma and DLA Piper acted as legal counsel. In addition, Piper Jaffray & Co. provided a fairness opinion to ViroPharma’s board of directors. J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as successor to Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., advised Lev and provided a fairness opinion to Lev’s board of directors. Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP and Becker & Poliakoff, LLP acted as legal counsel to Lev.

Cinryze™ Regulatory Status

On May 2, 2008, the Blood Products Advisory Committee (BPAC) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted unanimously that there is sufficient evidence of the safety and efficacy for the approval of Cinryze for the prophylactic treatment of HAE. The data from Lev's acute treatment trial was not presented before the BPAC and is currently under active review at FDA. On May 6, 2008, Lev announced that FDA accepted for review Lev's complete response submission for Cinryze targeting an action date of October 14, 2008.

ABOUT HEREDITARY ANGIOEDEMA

HAE is the result of a defect in the gene controlling the synthesis of C1 inhibitor. C1 inhibitor maintains the natural regulation of the contact, complement, and fibrinolytic systems, that when left unrestricted, can initiate or perpetuate an attack by consuming the already low levels of endogenous C1 inhibitor in HAE patients. Patients with C1 inhibitor deficiency experience recurrent, unpredictable, debilitating, and potentially life threatening attacks of inflammation affecting the larynx, abdomen, face, extremities and urogenital tract. While there is no approved therapy for acute HAE attacks in the U.S., a commercially available C1 inhibitor has been used in Europe to treat HAE for more than 35 years. There are estimated to be 10,000 people with HAE in the U.S.

Additional information on HAE can be obtained from the U.S. Hereditary Angioedema Association at www.haea.org.

July 14 - Infinity Capital Group, Inc. Acquires Controlling Interest in NPI08, Inc.

Infinity Capital Group, Inc. announced that it has closed the acquisition of approximately 87.5 percent of the issued and outstanding shares in NPI08, Inc. (OTC: NPIA) ("the Shares") after the Denver Federal Bankruptcy Court approved the sale. The consideration for the transaction included a combination of cash, Infinity common stock, and a promissory note to the Sellers collateralized with the Shares pending payment.

Infinity intends to utilize its controlling ownership to facilitate a reverse merger between NPIA and a privately held, growth-oriented operating business that is seeking to access capital and a public market. Upon consummating the NPIA share purchase, Infinity CEO Greg Laborde stated, "In today's capital markets, where access to public capital and liquidity options for small companies are limited, we are pleased to have taken control of another vehicle which will enable us to help a thriving privately held company to grow and expand while providing their current owners potential liquidity." Mr. Laborde continued, "We see access to public capital as a vital service to growing companies who are the engine for overall economic growth and see tremendous opportunity for Infinity to earn attractive investment returns while facilitating this important capital formation need."

Infinity intends to make a follow on investment in NPIA in connection with the reverse merger and as part of its mission as a business development company it will provide management assistance in connection with and post closing the merger. The NPIA plan is similar to Infinity's January 2008 transaction where it facilitated a reverse merger between a controlled publicly traded subsidiary and two related privately held growth companies, REGS, LLC and Tactical Cleaning, LLC — creating the Infinity portfolio company Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. (OTC: SENR). In connection with the SENR transaction, Infinity invested its own capital and assisted the company in attracting additional investment from other sources.

Infinity targets privately held emerging growth companies, across a broad range of attractive industries, with revenues of US$5-$15 Million, whose growth is constrained by limited capital. Infinity seeks companies with strong management teams that are at or near profitability and have the potential to list on a National Exchange within 12-18 months. In a typical transaction, Infinity will provide long term capital, primarily via equity investments, and as a business development company Infinity provides managerial assistance throughout the process and post closing of the transaction. Its mission is to offer entrepreneurial businesses a viable financing alternative to traditional private equity and venture capital funds that generally insist on control while also providing the incumbent business owners with personal liquidity and a potential exit strategy.

In addition to target merger candidates, Infinity is seeking controlling interest in public companies looking to change strategy, that have sold or closed a business and whose shareholders will participate in a subsequent transaction.

ABOUT INFINITY CAPITAL GROUP, INC.

Infinity Capital Group is a business development company that provides early-stage or mezzanine financing and management assistance to emerging growth companies.

This process is ongoing as are discussions with the FDA on the requirements for expansion of the indication for REPEL-CV from pediatric patients to all patients who undergo cardiac surgery.

ABOUT ADHESIONS

Adhesions, or scar tissue, occur after virtually all open-heart surgical procedures, often resulting in the heart becoming attached to the sternum and other surrounding tissue surfaces. The presence of adhesions represents a prevalent and serious complication in secondary surgical procedures, increasing the length, cost and risk of the surgical procedure.

ABOUT REPEL-CV

REPEL-CV is a bioresorbable adhesion barrier film designed to be placed over the surface of the heart at the conclusion of an open-heart surgical procedure to reduce the extent and severity of adhesions (scar tissue) that form between the surface of the heart and opposing tissue surfaces following the surgical procedure. REPEL-CV is designed to provide the therapeutic benefit and then degrade so that it is cleared from the body. REPEL-CV represents the first in a series of anti-adhesion products under development that are based on the Company's proprietary polymer technology.

In light of the strong market demand and sales price hike in cement industry, we are confident to maintain an expanding margin in the coming quarter.

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2008 Results

The increase is primarily attributed to increased sales volume, especially PO42.5 cement, and also due to retail price hike for cement products.

Of the $11,681,719 in revenue for the three months ended May 31, 2008, approximately $8,435,168 (or 72%) was generated from sales of PO42.5 cement, and $453,022 (or 4%) from the premium grade cement PII52.5.

The increase primarily resulted from the increase in the retail price of cement products in China. This increase counter balanced the negative effect imposed by the increase in raw material costs. We are able to transfer the costs of raw materials to our customers by increasing the retail price of cement.

Furthermore, we are also building a waste heat power generator which will come online in 2009, which will generate electricity of around 63 million KW annually and further reduce our operating costs and increasing margins.”
