"We see Apollo as a leader in China in the R&D of the next generation CdTe based thin-film solar cell and currently specializes in the mining and refining of high purity materials used in a broad range of industries, notably the photovoltaic industry. We believe there is huge opportunity in this field for the company."

July 11 - CGSE to Sign Agreement With DigitalGlobe, Supplier of Satellite Imagery to Google Earth

Columbus Geographic Systems (GIS) Ltd. (OTC: CGSE) ("Columbus") announced it has reached an important understanding with DigitalGlobe, world leader in high-resolution commercial imagery. DigitalGlobe also supplies the popular Google Earth website with its images. According to the understanding, Columbus will have access to DigitalGlobe's digital image bank for use in the Ranger navigation system.

These satellites collect the highest resolution commercial imagery of the Earth, and offer the largest image size, and greatest on-board storage capacity and resolution compared to any other commercial satellite imagery available today.

The market has become increasingly aware of the advantages of navigation and Global Positioning System (GPS) tools, especially for vehicle navigation systems. These tools include both built-in systems and Personal Navigation Devices (PNDs), which are handheld devices that users can carry with them and use in their vehicles. Industry analysts estimate that sales of PNDs will grow from approximately 14 million units in 2006 to approximately 56 million units in 2011. As the demand for these personal navigation devices continues to grow, so does the need for better quality images covering more parts of the world.

SyntheMed, Inc.

Marc Sportsman, SyntheMed's Vice President of Sales, stated, "We are pleased to receive the Health Canada approval which allows us to further expand the international distribution of REPEL-CV."

SyntheMed was previously granted CE Mark approval to market REPEL-CV in most international markets for use in all patients who undergo open heart surgery and is being sold through a network of independent distributors. In November 2007, SyntheMed received an Approval Letter from the US FDA stating the REPEL-CV would be approved for use in pediatric patients pending satisfactory completion of field inspections. 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.
