BEDMINSTER, N.J., Oct. 31, 2014  — GAIN Capital Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: GCAP, “GAIN”), today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire City Index (Holdings) Limited (“City Index”), a leading online trading firm specializing in contracts-for-difference (CFDs), forex and UK spread betting, for approximately $118 million1, or a net purchase price of $82 million, including $36 million in cash on the company’s balance sheet.

The combination of GAIN Capital and City Index creates a global leader in online trading, operating two market-leading brands in GAIN’s FOREX.com, a top retail forex brand globally, and City Index, a premier CFD and spread bet brand. The combined company will service 235,000 retail customers in over 180 countries with annual trading volumes of more than $3 trillion.

“The acquisition of City Index advances our growth strategy, creating scale for our retail business and accelerates the development of our innovative trading technology,” said Glenn Stevens, GAIN’s chief executive officer. “The combination will result in a balanced mix of customer volume, with approximately 61% of retail volume coming from FX and 39% from CFD trading/UK spread betting in other asset classes such as equities, indices and commodities. We look forward to leveraging the City Index brand in key markets and working with the team at City Index, who share our commitment to creating a superior customer experience.”

“This transaction is a landmark moment in City Index’s 30-year history as a leader in retail trading,” said Mark Preston, City Index’s Chairman and Chief Executive. “The combination of GAIN’s unrivalled leadership in global foreign exchange with City Index’s internationally-recognized CFD business creates a world-class industry leader, providing the scale and capability to deliver the ultimate trading experience to our clients around the world. The combined business will also offer greater opportunities for City Index’s management and staff to flourish in a global business.”

Founded in London in 1983 as one of UK’s first spread betting companies, City Index is today one of the world’s leading providers of CFDs, forex and UK spread betting, offering more than 10,000 products across equity, index, FX, commodity and bond CFDs and spread bets. City Index is majority owned by IPGL, the private holding company for the interests of Michael Spencer, Founder and Chief Executive of ICAP plc, the global markets operator.

“I am very pleased we have been able to agree to this transaction, which brings benefits for everyone,” said Michael Spencer. “I believe GAIN is an outstanding company and will be able to move City Index to the next level, by leveraging its broad array of trading products and services onto a global platform. We believe this combination will enhance GAIN’s leadership position in the FX/CFD industry by putting together two highly complementary companies to create significant value for customers and stakeholders. This is the latest example of the way that IPGL is able to invest actively in businesses over the long term to support their growth and development.”

For the 12 month period ended September 30, 2014, City Index generated $124.8 million in revenue and $10.7 million in adjusted EBITDA. It had approximately 104,000 funded retail accounts and $344 million in customer assets as of September 30, 2014.

The combined company will have pro forma client assets of approximately $1.2 billion, and trailing twelve month revenues and adjusted EBITDA, for the period ended September 30, 2014, of $462 million and $61 million, respectively. GAIN has identified $45 million – $55 million of fixed operating expense synergies, relative to the combined company’s trailing twelve-month expenses, and expects to begin realizing theses synergies promptly after closing with full integration achieved over the ensuing 18-24 months. GAIN expects for this acquisition to become highly accretive over this time period and anticipates achieving accretive results by the fourth quarter following closing.

The transaction follows the successful acquisition and integration of GFT, which closed in September 2013, where GAIN Capital achieved approximately $40 million of run rate expense synergies.

City Index clients will not see any immediate impact to the customer service they receive, their account administration or how they trade. All clients will receive more detailed information about the benefits the combined company can offer them, once the acquisition is completed.

Terms of the Transaction

The purchase price will consist of $20 million in cash, $60 million of convertible notes and the issuance of approximately 5.3 million GAIN shares. The total purchase price of $118 million represents a $28 million premium above City Index’s book value as of September 30, 2014.

In addition to the $36 million of cash on its books as of September 30, 2014, City Index also has $65 million of net operating losses which can be carried forward following the closing of the transaction.

The transaction is subject to approval by GAIN Capital stockholders, regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2015.

Jefferies LLC is serving as exclusive financial advisor to GAIN Capital. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, A Stifel Company is serving as financial advisor to IPGL. Davis Polk & Wardwell advised GAIN Capital on U.S. and UK legal matters.  Macfarlanes advised IPGL and City Index on UK legal matters and Kirkland & Ellis advised IPGL and City Index on U.S. legal matters.

(*) Reconciliation of Net Income to Cash Net Income and Cash EPS

Cash net income is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents our net income excluding depreciation and amortization, purchased intangible amortization and non-cash interest expense. This non-GAAP financial measure has certain limitations, including that it does not have a standardized meaning and, therefore, our definition may be different from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and/or analysts. Thus, it may be more difficult to compare our financial performance to that of other companies. We believe our reporting of cash net income assists investors in evaluating our operating performance. However, because cash net income is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, such measure should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of our financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, such as net income.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring, acquisition and integration-related expenses, impairment on investment and gain on extinguishment of debt. This non-GAAP financial measure has certain limitations, including that it does not have a standardized meaning and, therefore, our definition may be different from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and/or analysts. Thus, it may be more difficult to compare our financial performance to that of other companies. We believe our reporting of adjusted EBITDA assists investors in evaluating our operating performance.

PORT JEFFERSON, NY, United States, via ETELIGIS INC., 10/31/2014 – – Net Savings Link, Inc. (OTC Pink: NSAV) (PINKSHEETS: NSAV) today has announced the execution of an agreement by our new President, Leonard F. Genovese, on behalf of NSAV, to conduct a formal due diligence evaluation for purposes of a targeted merger/acquisition with a well-established firm that has an entrenched and long term presence in the Artisanal food and beverage/wellness/ and retail distribution space in the Northeastern portion of the U.S., and is expanding nationally. Mr. Genovese commented; This is an exciting opportunity to pair the synergy of this firm with NSAV. The targeted firm has existing revenues with year over year growth for the past 3 fiscal terms, and has an established customer base that encompasses both a retail and institutional model. Mr. Genovese continued; The firm not only has a domestic presence, but also has a European base that brings significant product variety into existing domestic markets that we are optimistic to enter. They are a leader in imported foods from certain European markets, and they hold various proprietary food packaging agreements that will enhance product diversity. Mr. Genovese continued; we are optimistic that we will close on this agreement, pending the outcome of our D.D. evaluation, within the next 30-60 days.

Steven Baritz, the CEO of NSAV said, NSAV s recent decision to appoint Mr. Genovese has proven to already pay dividends in terms of corporate development, intermediate growth, and strategy. Mr. Genoveses mature contact base has expressed an eagerness to be a part of a firm that he is operating within a leadership capacity. Baritz continued, We are expressing extreme optimism that this will be the first of many strategic growth opportunities that Mr. Genovese will facilitate for NSAV, and we are certain that they will be well received by both the consumer as well as the shareholder and investor community. We will provide a subsequent update on the status of this announcement in a subsequent release upon the conclusion of the due diligence evaluation.

Mr. Baritz also commented on a recent concern of shareholders regarding the removal of the DTC chill; NSAV has made one of its top priorities, the removal of the DTC chill that has existed prior to the current management teams tenure on the Board. Baritz continued; It is apparent that in order for NSAV to move to the next level that will be commensurate with our intermediate and long term objectives, the removal of the chill will be of paramount importance, and we expect to commence the process to remove the chill as soon as certain self- imposed metrics are achieved in regard to capital availability and revenue expectations.

(OMER) Omidria™ Granted Pass-Through Reimbursement Status from CMS

— Unique Billing Code Allows Separate Payment for Omidria —

SEATTLE, Oct. 30, 2014  — Omeros Corporation (NASDAQ: OMER) announced today that it has received transitional pass-through status for its lead product Omidria (phenylephrine and ketorolac injection) 1%/0.3% from the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that administers the Medicare program. Approved earlier this year by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use during cataract surgery or intraocular lens replacement (ILR), Omidria is the only FDA-approved product for intraocular administration that prevents intraoperative miosis (pupil constriction) and reduces postoperative pain, providing consistent and predictable management of these problems for ophthalmic surgeons and their patients. A large and growing market, cataract and other ILR procedures are among the most common surgical procedures performed in the U.S. with approximately four million expected in 2015.

Transitional pass-through status will allow ambulatory surgery centers and other outpatient facilities to bill Medicare and other insurance providers for Omidria using a temporary Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code unique to Omidria. Pass‑through status allows for separate payment for new drugs and other medical technologies that meet specific clinical-value and cost requirements. Pass‑through remains in effect for a period of two to three years, after which time CMS and other insurance providers make a new reimbursement determination. Pass‑through status for Omidria will become effective on January 1, 2015, and reimbursement will be based on the product’s wholesale acquisition cost of between $400 and $500 per single-use vial.

“We are pleased with CMS’s decision to grant pass-through for Omidria,” said Gregory A. Demopulos, M.D., chairman and chief executive officer of Omeros. “Pass-through status should streamline the billing and reimbursement process for facilities that use Omidria and could accelerate adoption of the product across cataract and other intraocular lens procedures. Coincident with this new clarity on reimbursement, our commercial team is in the process of adding the second wave of sales representatives, and we plan to launch Omidria no later than early 2015.”

About Omidria
Omeros’ PharmacoSurgery® product Omidria (pronounced oh-MID-ree-uh) is a proprietary combination of the mydriatic (pupil-dilating) agent phenylephrine and the anti-inflammatory agent ketorolac, which was developed for use during cataract or other intraocular lens replacement (ILR) surgery. The FDA has approved Omidria (phenylephrine and ketorolac injection) 1%/0.3% for use during cataract surgery or ILR to maintain pupil size by preventing intraoperative miosis (pupil constriction) and to reduce postoperative pain. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is currently reviewing the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for Omidria.

Important Risk Information for Omidria

Systemic exposure of phenylephrine may cause elevations in blood pressure. In clinical trials, the most common reported ocular adverse reactions at two to 24 percent are eye irritation, posterior capsule opacification, increased intraocular pressure, and anterior chamber inflammation. Omidria must be diluted prior to use. Omidria is not approved for use in children.

About Omeros Corporation

Omeros is a biopharmaceutical company committed to discovering, developing and commercializing small-molecule and protein therapeutics for large-market as well as orphan indications targeting inflammation, coagulopathies and disorders of the central nervous system. Derived from its proprietary PharmacoSurgery® platform, the Company’s first drug product, Omidria(phenylephrine and ketorolac injection) 1%/0.3%, has been approved by the FDA for use during cataract surgery or intraocular lens replacement (ILR) to maintain pupil size by preventing intraoperative miosis (pupil constriction) and to reduce postoperative ocular pain. Omeros is completing preparations for a planned U.S. product launch no later than early 2015. Omidria is currently under review for marketing approval by the European Medicines Agency. Omeros also has six clinical-stage development programs focused on complement-related thrombotic microangiopathies, Huntington’s disease, schizophrenia, and cognitive impairment; on addictive and compulsive disorders; and on preventing problems associated with surgical procedures.

(SUIP) Licensing Agreement for BreastCare DTS™ With LMT

BreastCare DTS(TM) Is Patented, Non-Invasive, FDA-Cleared Cancer Detection Device; Agreement Gives Sunrise Exclusive Distribution Rights in US, Canada, China

NEW YORK, NY–(Oct 30, 2014) –  Sunrise Holdings, Limited, a Nevada company in the medical device business (OTCQB: SUIP), has entered into a licensing agreement, via its subsidiary Efil Sub of ECG Inc., with Life Medical Technologies, Inc. with respect to Life Medical’s “BreastCare DTS™ device” and certain other derivative technologies. The License Agreement grants Efil the exclusive right to distribute the BreastCare DTS™ in the United States, Canada and certain countries in Asia, including China. The Agreement calls for payment by Efil to Life Medical of royalties of 5% on net sales by Efil and requires payment by Efil of minimum annual royalties of $100,000 in 2015 and $200,000 each year thereafter. The Agreement also calls for payment by Life Medical to Efil of royalites of 5% on net sales by Life Medical.

The BreastCare DTS™ is a patented, non-invasive and FDA-cleared as an adjunct to mammography and other established procedures for the detection of breast disease, including breast cancer. DTS stands for “Differential Temperature Sensor,” indicating the ability of the device to compare temperatures in one area of the breast with others in the same breast and the other breast.

John Bentivoglio, President and CEO of Sunrise Holdings, said, “This agreement brings a marvelous technology into our growing stable of medical devices, and it takes us into the very important field of breast cancer detection. Early detection is crucial to positive outcomes, and detection methods, while effective, can be improved. The BreastCare DTS™ device represents such an improvement, and we believe that the potential market for it is immense.”

Bentivoglio added, “The incidence of breast cancer is highest in the developed world, but by 2020, some estimates have as many as 70 percent of all cases will be found in the developing economies of the world. The BreastCare DTS™ device is well-suited to addressing this trend. As these countries increase their incomes, as they develop, they will be able to spend more on medical care than they do now. This means that demand for effective cancer treatments rather than palliative care will rise, but at the same time, the resources will remain limited. A relatively low-cost device that can capture early stage potential breast cancer data which we believe is exactly what the market will need.

“The global Point of Care market in 2011, is in the order of $18.7 billion, up from $10.3 billion in 2005. In the U.S. alone, the combined breast cancer detection/diagnostic market was valued at more than $2.2 billion in 2008, and is expected to continue in a stable growth pattern over the next several years, Analysts have suggested a conservative growth rate of approximately 5.4% year on year.”

BreastCare DTS™ has received FDA 510K clearance for marketing in the United States and can used by physicians as an adjunct to routine physical examination including palpation, mammography and other established procedures for the detection of breast disease including breast cancer. Clinical studies have been conducted on over 5,000 women in prestigious cancer centers in the U.S., Europe and Latin America, including Memorial Sloan-Kettering in New York and M.D. Anderson in Houston.

The BreastCare DTS™ device consists of two mirror image, lightweight and disposable foam pads with three wafer-thin foil sensors on each pad. Each of the three segments on each pad contains 18 rows of heat-sensitive chemical dots. The device is easy to use and requires no electricity or probes.

The test is completely non-invasive. The pads are easily placed on a woman’s breasts inside the bra for 15 minutes. The device measures the deep heat energy that is transferred to the surface of the skin. Each heat-sensitive dot is calibrated to record the temperature of the surface of the breast. The dots themselves change color from blue to pink when exposed to specific temperatures. The results are clearly displayed and can be immediately evaluated. The heat-sensitive dots have embedded memory, which allows the results to be read after each test is completed.

Bentivoglio concluded, “We believe that BreastCare DTS™ is an exceptional, low-cost Point of Care device that has the potential to save thousands upon thousands of lives. We are focused on bringing it to market by the beginning of 2015, and to that end, we are in final stage negotiations with two engineering firms to begin production in time to meet that deadline. Combined with the Now Cardio™ advanced cardiac monitor being developed by Event Cardio Group Inc, a company we intend to acquire shortly, BreastCare DTS™ represents a significant step forward for our shareholders as well as for patients.”

About Sunrise Holdings
Sunrise Holdings is a Nevada company engaged in the medical device market. It has entered into a Share Exchange Agreement to acquire Event Cardio Group Inc, which is developing a new product, Now Cardio™, an advanced cardiac monitor which offers dual-functionality including both holter monitoring and event recording simultaneously. As a wireless and leadless system, it is more comfortable to wear, and as a result, is more likely to be worn. Based on experience, Event Cardio Group Inc believes it can reach diagnostic yields greater than 90%. Event Cardio Group Inc believes that this would be a meaningful first within the industry.

(CAPA) acquires the assets of Movie Star News, LLC

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 30, 2014 — Capital Art, Inc., a publicly traded company (CAPA), has announced that it has acquired the assets of Movie Star News, LLC. The Movie Star News archive is believed to be one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of original Hollywood photography and contains more than 100,000 negatives and over 1 million original studio photos, including photos of Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant and other iconic Hollywood legends. In addition, the assets consist of the Irving Klaw archive of over 9,000 original camera negatives featuring Bettie Page. Bettie Page is considered by many to be the first pin-up model in history.

Movie Star News began in 1938 when photographer Irving Klaw struck a deal with the movie studios, then operating in New York City, to collect movie photography that was in great demand by Hollywood fans.  Klaw eventually began to create an archive of Hollywood studio original negatives from which prints were made for the media and adoring fans. The collection was moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in August 2012, and when the iconic store on West 18th Street closed, it was hailed as the closing of a New York institution by many national publications.

Irving Klaw is credited for creating the world of pin-up photography. He extensively photographed Bettie Page, who came to be known as the “Queen of Pin-Ups.” The Bettie Page Collection includes over 5,000 negatives, photographs, clothing and other invaluable props.

Capital Art, Inc. sells limited edition, fine art Hollywood prints featuring the Frank Worth Archive, the Movie Star News Archive and the Bettie Page Collection. The company also makes photographs available for publication rights through its agreement with Getty Images.

(CDTI) Unveils Breakthrough Clean Air Technology

Initial patents awarded for vehicle exhaust-cleaning technology – Eliminates need for expensive platinum group and rare earth metals

OXNARD, Calif., Oct. 30, 2014  — Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:CDTI) (“CDTi” or “the Company”), a leader in advanced emission control technology, announced the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) awarded it two new patents covering CDTi’s new technology that replaces costly platinum group and rare earth metals in catalytic converters. These patents represent the first of a family of patents for CDTi’s Spinel™ technology, a proprietary clean emissions exhaust technology that promises to dramatically reduce the cost of attaining more stringent clean air standards.

The new technology will power multiple catalytic product lines that the Company believes have the potential to be highly disruptive to the traditional platinum-based or rare earth-based device industry. This is the Company’s first public announcement regarding its Spinel technology, the development of which has been kept confidential until now.

CEO Chris Harris commented, “Currently global OEMs spend billions of dollars annually on platinum group metals (PGMs) mined in South Africa and Russia, and hundreds of millions of dollars on Chinese-sourced rare earth metals. These costs are expected to dramatically increase with conventional technology as new regulations like U.S. EPA Tier 3 kick in. Spinel technology solves a major industry supply and cost problem and marks a major breakthrough both for us and for all OEMs around the world manufacturing fossil fuel-powered engines.”

About Spinel Technology

  • A family of proprietary materials using various base metals that replace costly PGMs and rare earth metals in coatings on standard catalytic converters
  • Works across a wide range of engine and vehicle applications – both gasoline and diesel
  • Advanced testing underway on production models of popular passenger cars and heavy duty vehicles at respected independent vehicle test facilities

Spinel Technology Significance and Benefits

  • Potential for significant cost savings for OEMs by cutting out expensive PGMs and rare earth metals
  • Currently OEMs spend over $6 billion a year on PGMs (source: derived from Johnson Matthey PLC: Platinum 2013 Interim Review)
  • Enables early, cost-effective compliance with stricter emissions standards in the U.S. and around the world
  • Mitigates OEM exposure to supply uncertainty and price volatility in the PGM and rare earth markets

CTO Dr. Stephen Golden added, “The Spinel technology is the result of hard work and ingenuity by our world-class R&D team. It is an entirely new materials science pathway to meeting tighter regulations at much lower cost. Key validation vehicle testing is underway in parallel with aggressively building a broad IP portfolio as we incorporate Spinel technology into specific products for global OEMs.”

About Platinum Groups Metals (PGMs)

Expensive PGM metals, which include platinum, palladium and rhodium, are used in the manufacture of emission control catalysts, with palladium and rhodium being the primary components used in catalysts serving the global light duty vehicle market. According to Johnson Matthey PLC’s “Platinum 2013 Interim Review,” in 2013, over 70% of all primary platinum and 80% of all primary rhodium produced originated in Southern Africa. Russia and Southern Africa combined supplied over 75% of palladium.

About Rare Earth Metals

Rare earth metals such as cerium, neodymium and lanthanum, also referred to as rare earth elements, are chemical elements used in many devices that people use every day, including computers, cell phones, rechargeable batteries and catalytic converters. As the global demand for these devices increases the use of rare earth metals is expected to rise. According to a 2014 U.S. Geological Survey Mineral Commodity Summary, the estimated value of refined rare earth metals imported by the U.S. in 2013 was $260 million. An estimated 79% of rare earth metals used in the U.S. were imported from China with 65% utilized in catalysts.

GARDEN CITY, NY–(October 29, 2014) – Millennium Healthcare Inc. (OTCQB: MHCC) today announced that revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 are expected to be in excess of $6.0 million. This represents significant growth compared with revenue of $490,000 for the comparable 2013 period, and was largely the result of the initial roll out of the Company’s medical device distribution model. During the quarter Millennium Healthcare began the commercial introduction of its first two distributed medical device products, namely VasoScan™, a cardiovascular diagnostic assessment test, and OralCDx™, a non-invasive brush biopsy kit for oral cancer. Millennium intends to continue its model and mission of evaluating early detection and diagnostic devices and continually looks to add and provide additional products to its medical device lines available for distribution.

Commenting on the quarter, David Perry, chief operating officer, said, “Following successful beta testing in June, we began the initial roll out of the VasoScan and OralCDx products to a small portion of our current network of approximately 1,300 primary care physician offices located along the U.S. East Coast. Physician acceptance, measured by utilization as well as reorder rates, was well above our initial expectations so early in the launch process; and we are extremely pleased with the recognition by our early customers of the role these products can play in preventive care and in medical practice economics. We look forward to continuing a managed introduction of these products via our direct sales force and, in time, via sub-distributor partners with the ultimate goal of nationwide coverage.”

Dominick Sartorio, chief executive officer added, “We are excited to continue the commercialization of our device business and to report to our investors on the progress we have made. We believe our third quarter revenue represents the beginning of a significant growth trend for our business, and given our current commitments, we anticipate being able to report significant quarterly revenue for the fourth quarter as well. We believe the industry trend toward early detection diagnostics, combined with our distribution model, highly experienced leadership team, and our exclusive agreements with suppliers are the driving contributors to our current and future success.”

Millennium Healthcare expects to report full financial results for the third quarter, and to hold its first quarterly investor conference call in mid-November.

Millennium Healthcare Inc., through its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, provides primary care physician practices, physician groups and healthcare facilities of all sizes with cutting-edge medical devices focused primarily on preventive care through early detection.

(AMEH) Launches Apollo Palliative Services

GLENDALE, Calif., Oct. 29, 2014  — Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. (ApolloMed) (OTC-QB: AMEH), an integrated physician-centric healthcare delivery company, today announced the launch of a new subsidiary, Apollo Palliative Services (APS), with the acquisition of majority stakes in both a hospice agency and a home health company.  In conjunction, the Company appointed Liviu Chindris, M.D., as President of APS.

APS will serve as a single source for hospice, palliative care and home health services for ApolloMed’s health plan, hospital and IPA clients in addition to its own subsidiaries and affiliated medical groups: ApolloMed ACO, Maverick Medical Group, AKM Medical Group, ApolloMed Care Clinics and ApolloMed Hospitalists.  The hospice agency serves three counties in Southern California, with an average daily census of 40-60 patients, while the home health agency services three counties in California with an average daily census of 100-140.

The hospice division of APS will serve terminally ill patients and their families through the use of an interdisciplinary team.  Depending on their needs, each hospice patient and their family is assigned a team comprised of a physician, nurse, home health aide, medical social worker, chaplain, dietary counselor and bereavement coordinator.  Hospice and palliative care services are provided in the patient’s home, assisted living/nursing home, or in a hospital.  The home health division will provide direct home skilled nursing and therapy services, as well as specialty programs such as disease management education, nutrition and help with daily living activities.

ApolloMed believes that several factors will contribute to the growth of its hospice and home health business: aging demographics, recognition that in-home services are significantly more cost-effective than institutional care, medical and technological advances that allow more healthcare procedures and monitoring to be provided at home and the benefits of recuperating from an illness or receiving care for a chronic condition in one’s own home.

“I am very excited to join the management team of ApolloMed as we launch Apollo Palliative Services,” stated Dr. Chindris.  “We understand the benefits of hospice, palliative care and home health services for patients and their families and our goal is to make APS one of the leading providers in Southern California.”

“The addition of hospice and home health services will enhance our integrated care model and provide a good platform for the expansion of APS.  We believe that as an efficient operator of integrated healthcare delivery, we are favorably positioned to benefit from current industry trends,” stated Warren Hosseinion, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Apollo Medical Holdings.

“We are also very pleased to have Dr. Chindris, one of the earliest physicians to join HealthCare Partners, as a member of the ApolloMed team.  His wealth of knowledge and experience will be a tremendous asset as we continue to grow ApolloMed’s business and expand the services that we provide.”

Dr. Chindris earned his M.D. from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Cluj, Romania and completed an internship and residency in internal medicine at Brooklyn Hospital in Brooklyn, New York and Mercy Hospital in Buffalo, New York.  He has held memberships in the American College of Physicians and the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine.  He is fluent in Romanian, French, Italian, Spanish and English.  Dr. Chindris was a Senior Partner at HealthCare Partners before it was acquired by DaVita in 2012.

About Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc.
ApolloMed is a leading integrated physician-centric healthcare delivery company commited to providing exceptional multi-disciplinary care in the communities it serves.  ApolloMed is addressing the healthcare needs of its patients by leveraging its integrated healthcare delivery platform comprised of six affiliated and complementary physician groups:  ApolloMed Hospitalists, ApolloMed ACO (Accountable Care Organization), Maverick Medical Group (Independent Physician Association), AKM Medical Group (IPA),  ApolloMed Care Clinics and Apollo Palliative Services.

The Company incurred a net loss of $939,489 during the 2014 fiscal year compared to a net loss of $700,115 during the prior year, an increase of $239,374. The increase in loss was primarily due to the operations of the Company’s Norwegian subsidiary, Visionaire Energy AS (“VEN“) and its two affiliated companies.

The Company had a loss per share of $0.01 in both 2014 and 2013 fiscal years.

The effective date of the sale is set in the agreement at 30 June 2014. The operations of VEN and its affiliates are therefore classified as discontinued operations held for sale. The Company’s investment in its Norwegian subsidiary was reflected at $862,375 on 30 June 2013 and the carrying value of the investment decreased to $559,068 by 30 June 2014.  The sale of VEN is subject to the approval from the shareholders of the Company at the Company’s annual general meeting scheduled for 5 December 2014.

As at 30 June 2014, the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect a working capital deficit of $693,794. This represents a decrease in the working capital deficit of $50,898 compared to the 30 June 2013 working capital deficit of $744,692. Cash used in operating activities during the 2014 fiscal year totaled $533,013 compared to $189,464 in the prior year.

Ferrer Purchases $8 Million of Alexza Common Stock through New Investment and Elimination of Potential Milestone Payments

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and BARCELONA, Spain, Oct. 27, 2014 — Alexza Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALXA) and Grupo Ferrer Internacional, S.A. (Ferrer) announced today that they have amended their agreement for ADASUVE® (Staccato® loxapine).  Ferrer is Alexza’s commercial partner for ADASUVE in the European Union, Latin America and the Commonwealth of Independent States countries (the Ferrer Territory). Ferrer and Alexza have agreed that Ferrer will purchase 2 million shares of Alexza common stock for $4.00 per share, thereby becoming the Company’s largest shareholder. The purchase represents a combination of new investment and consideration for the elimination of certain future potential milestone payments under the agreement.

“Ferrer and Alexza’s collaboration has been focused on building the market for ADASUVE in our territory and a lasting relationship between the companies,” said Jordi Ramentol, Chief Executive Officer of Ferrer. “The expansion of our relationship with Alexza with this strategic investment demonstrates our belief in ADASUVE as a highly valuable therapy, something we also hear from physicians and patients who have had experience with this product. We are pleased to continue our work together to build ADASUVE into a global brand.”

“We have been very pleased with Ferrer’s commitment and progress in bringing ADASUVE to patients since the first country launch in Germany in the summer of 2013. In addition to ADASUVE now being available in nine EU countries, Ferrer has secured three ADASUVE approvals in Latin America,” said Thomas B.

King concluded, “We are excited Ferrer is making this strategic investment in Alexza, which reinforces Ferrer’s commitment to ADASUVE as an important new therapeutic and to the long-standing collaboration between our two companies.”

About ADASUVE (Staccato loxapine)
ADASUVE is the first and only inhalation therapy for the rapid control of mild-to-moderate    agitation in adult patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. The EU marketing authorization for ADASUVE requires that patients receive regular treatment immediately after administration of the product to control acute agitation symptoms. It also requires that ADASUVE be administered only in a hospital setting under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Short-acting beta-agonist bronchodilator treatment should be available for treatment of possible severe respiratory side effects, such as bronchospasm.

Alexza and Ferrer estimate that as many as 8 million adults in the EU suffer from schizophrenia or bipolar disorder1. Agitation is a common symptom for these patients2, characterized by feelings of distress, anxiety and loss of control.

ADASUVE combines Alexza’s proprietary Staccato system with loxapine, an antipsychotic medicinal product. The Staccato system is a hand-held inhaler that delivers a drug aerosol to the deep lung that results in intravenous-like pharmacokinetics and rapid systemic effects.

The authorization for ADASUVE in the EU differs from that in the United States, with respect to the indication statement, dose regimen, available dose strengths, and risk mitigation and management plans.

(PTRA) Hires Thompson Solutions, Technical Analysis At Sevier/Beaver Oil Project

Firm to Provide Initial Gravity and Magnetic Analysis at Sevier Oil Prospect

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Oct. 27, 2014 — PetroTerra Corp. (OTCQB: PTRA) (“PetroTerra” or “the Company”), an independent oil and gas exploration company currently focused on the Sevier and Beaver Oil Project in west central Utah, announced today that it has engaged Thompson Solutions LLC (“Thompson”) to perform the next step in the technical analysis on the Company’s Sevier Oil Prospect.

“PetroTerra is excited to begin the development of its Sevier and Beaver Oil Project,” said John Barton, CEO of PetroTerra Corp. “By conducting an analysis of the gravity and magnetic data that already exists, and integrating the digital files and maps we receive from Thompson, this will aid us in identifying the most prospective trends and leads on our acreage and enable us to move to the second phase of development.”

PetroTerra Corp owns a 100% working interest and 80% net revenue interest in the Sevier and Beaver Oil Project, which is situated along the central Utah Thrust Belt. The Thrust Belt is a geologic feature that is part of an oil producing structural trend extending from Canada to the southern United States. The Company’s initial analysis will focus on the two Sevier County leases that comprise the Sevier Prospect.

Phase One Overview

Thompson will process both the public domain gravity and aeromagnetic datasets that currently exist over the Sevier Prospect. The public domain gravity data coverage is expected to be sufficient to identify major structures and geologic trends of interest. Integration of the gravity data with existing or to-be-acquired seismic will help to reduce interpretation ambiguities and to better characterize any potential risks as the project moves forward. The public domain aeromagnetic data will help delineate basement geologic structure and faulting that can impact migration and trapping of hydrocarbons in the overlying sedimentary section.

When processing of the public domain gravity and aeromagnetic data is complete, Thompson will provide PetroTerra with digitally enhanced files and maps.  Analysis of these products will help PetroTerra focus on prospective trends and leads in the area.  Based on the results of this analysis, a new detailed land gravity survey, and possibly a new high resolution aeromagnetic survey, will be considered for Phase Two.

About PetroTerra Corp.

PetroTerra Corp. (OTCQB: PTRA) is an independent oil and gas exploration company based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The Company is engaged in identifying, evaluating and developing early stage onshore oil and gas opportunities in the domestic US. The Company’s strategy is to focus on a step-by-step approach to assets that are located in high potential, proven basins and to prudently develop and manage those assets to create maximum value for shareholders. The Company’s current focus is on the Sevier and Beaver Oil Project in west central Utah. The Company owns a 100% working interest and 80% net revenue interest in the project.

(HPTG) Installation of HydroPlant on MPK Public Transportation Buses in Poland

Water-Based Hydrogen Fuel Production Systems Designed to Improve Fuel Efficiency and Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

ATLANTA, GA and WROCLAW, POLAND–(October 27, 2014) – HydroPhi Technologies Europe S.A. (“HTE“), exclusive European licensee and distributor for HydroPhi Technologies Group, Inc. (OTCQB: HPTG), a developer of water-based, clean energy technology that delivers improved fuel economy and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, today announced the installation of its Hydroplant™ units on vehicles in Poland. Under the agreement executed with Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Komunikacyjne Sp z o.o. we Wrocławiu (“MPK Wroclaw”, “Municipal Transport Company in Wroclaw”), a large public fleet operator in the second largest city in Poland, the technology is being tested initially on two buses from October 15, 2014 and will continue to February 15, 2015.

HydroPlant™ technology uses an on-board, on-demand electrolysis system to separate hydrogen and oxygen from water, which is then injected into the air intake of engines utilizing carbon-based fuels such as diesel, unleaded gasoline and natural gas. HydroPlant™ is designed to eliminate the need for high-pressure hydrogen storage or hazardous chemicals while producing a stable, inexpensive alternative fuel source.

On October 15, 2014, two technicians from HPTG who traveled from Atlanta to Wroclaw conducted the installation and started the test phase of two Hydroplant™ units on two public transportation buses. The trials include a single bus and dual-articulated bus.

Roger Slotkin, CEO of HPTG, supervised the setup process and preparations for test phase. He participated in the meetings with management of MPK Wroclaw and representatives of HTE, to discuss the future cooperation and the opportunities offered by Hydroplant™ technology.

Patryk Wild, Vice President of MPK Wroclaw, stated, “MPK Wroclaw is looking for cost effective solutions to reduce fuel consumption and meet new environmental regulations. We believe HydroPlant offers a high return-on-investment and may be an ideal solution to fulfill the goals for our fleet, which includes over 340 buses that travel over 23 million kilometers per year.”

Wojciech Grzegorczyk, President of HydroPhi Technologies Europe S.A., commented, “We look forward to our cooperation with HydroPhi Technologies Group, Inc. and MPK Wroclaw, whereby these tests will serve as an important step forward and validation of the HydroPlant technology in Poland and Europe.”

Roger Slotkin, CEO of HPTG, commented: “We are excited to participate in these ground breaking trials of our technology in Poland. We also look forward to working with MPK and other potential customers in Europe to operate their fleets more cost effectively. Our plan is to continue our expansion across Poland and Europe in the upcoming months and years, where there is very high demand for fuel and emission reduction technologies. We have already received CE approval to market our products in Europe. We estimate the immediately addressable market for our technology in Poland, just on the current class of vehicles, to be over 250 million USD, and believe we can effectively penetrate most of this market within 5 years.”

About HydroPhi
HydroPhi Technologies Group, Inc. (“HPTG”), listed on OTC Market, is a developer of water-based hydrogen fuel production systems. The Company’s technology isn’t a fuel cell, nor is it a hydrogen alternative to traditional hydrocarbon fuels.

(RCPT) Positive P2 Results for TOUCHSTONE Trial of RPC1063 in Ulcerative Colitis

– Study met primary efficacy and all secondary endpoints with statistical significance for patients on 1 mg dose after 8 weeks of treatment –

–   Safety data are consistent with the favorable profile observed in Phase 2 trial in relapsing multiple sclerosis –

–    Receptos plans to initiate Phase 3 program in ulcerative colitis and Phase 2 program in Crohn’s disease –

–   Investor conference call and webcast today at 5:00 p.m. ET (2:00 p.m. PT) –

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 27, 2014  — Receptos, Inc. (Nasdaq:RCPT) today announced that TOUCHSTONE, the Phase 2 trial of RPC1063 in ulcerative colitis (UC), met its primary endpoint and all secondary endpoints with statistical significance in patients on the 1 mg dose of RPC1063 in the 8-week induction period. The overall safety and tolerability profile of RPC1063 was consistent with the results of the recent Phase 2 trial in relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS), and continues to support the potential for orally administered RPC1063 to significantly improve the treatment paradigm for UC patients. The maintenance period of the TOUCHSTONE trial is currently ongoing.

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial assessed the efficacy, safety and tolerability of two orally administered doses (0.5 mg and 1 mg) of RPC1063 in patients with UC across 57 sites in 13 countries. The trial enrolled 199 patients, approximately 10% higher than planned, due to a strong interest among investigators and patients to participate in the study. The primary endpoint of the trial, the proportion of patients in clinical remission at week 8 as defined by the industry standard Mayo scoring criteria, was achieved by 16.4% of patients on the 1 mg dose of RPC1063, as compared to 6.2% of patients on placebo, which was statistically significant (p<0.05). In the low dose group of 0.5 mg, 13.8% of patients achieved clinical remission, which was not statistically significantly different from the placebo group.

All secondary endpoints at week 8, including clinical response, change in the Mayo score and mucosal improvement on endoscopy were also positive and statistically significant for the 1 mg dose. Notably, 58.2% of patients on the 1 mg dose of RPC1063 achieved clinical response, as compared to 36.9% of patients on placebo (p<0.05). Trends were observed for all secondary efficacy endpoints for the 0.5 mg dose group that appear to demonstrate evidence of a dose response. The detailed results of the Phase 2 portion of the TOUCHSTONE trial are expected to be presented at a major scientific meeting in the coming months.

RPC1063 was generally well tolerated, and the incidence of adverse events across the active treatment groups and placebo appeared to be similar. Most adverse events were either mild or moderate in nature, and there appeared to be no concerning signals in the adverse events of special interest, including the cardiac and hepatic safety profiles. With regard to the cardiovascular profile, first dose mean changes in heart rate in patients receiving RPC1063 were generally modest during the first six hours after administration, which is consistent with the findings of the earlier Phase 2 trial in RMS and thorough QT study. Rates of liver transaminase elevations observed in patients receiving RPC1063 were low and consistent with the earlier Phase 2 trial in RMS.

“The results of this trial demonstrated a significant treatment effect of orally administered RPC1063 at the 1 mg dose, with what appears to be a clear dose response and consistency across both the primary and secondary efficacy endpoints,” said Dr. William Sandborn, M.D., Professor of Medicine and Chief, Division of Gastroenterology and Director, University of California San Diego Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center. “The results also showed a favorable overall safety profile. A Phase 3 program is clearly warranted in order to confirm and extend these results.”

Based on these results, Receptos plans to initiate a Phase 3 program in 2015 to compare the safety and efficacy of the 1 mg dose of RPC1063 to placebo in patients with UC. In addition, these results suggest the potential for RPC1063 to be used in the treatment of Crohn’s disease, a related inflammatory bowel disease. Receptos plans to initiate a Phase 2 study of RPC1063 for the treatment of Crohn’s disease in 2015.

“The positive results of the TOUCHSTONE study exceeded our expectations with respect to the treatment effect of RPC1063,” said Faheem Hasnain, President and Chief Executive Officer of Receptos. “The consistency of the efficacy data across the various endpoints for the high dose, combined with the favorable safety profile, gives us confidence to move forward expeditiously with Phase 3 trials in ulcerative colitis and a Phase 2 trial in Crohn’s disease. There is a tremendous unmet need for a novel orally administered therapy in these patient populations. In addition, we believe that RPC1063 may have promise in other therapeutic areas, and we intend to continue to explore other autoimmune indications where RPC1063 may provide utility.”
