BOSTON, Aug 4, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) --  Infotopia Inc. (OTCBB:IFTP) announced
today that it has made an offer to repurchase 8,167,387 million restricted
shares of its stock from National Boston Medical (OTCBB Pink Sheets:NBMX) at a
price of $0.15 per share, this purchase would be completed in monthly buy backs
over the next 150 days. The company would utilize funds from the cash flows of
the Torso Tiger and its equity line to facilitate this purchase.
 
Infotopia President, Ernest Zavoral, stated: "In April of 2000, Infotopia was
acquired by Dr Abravenal's Formula (DABV, which then changed its name and symbol
to Infotopia, Inc.(IFTP)) from National Boston in Exchange for assuming the
repayment of $2,500,000 of National Boston's debt and delivering 8,167,387
million shares of Restricted stock in Infotopia. In our recent quarterly Filing
our shareholders can see that we continue to retire this acquired debt, and
anticipate all debt being repaid by the end of our fiscal third quarter. Now we
would like to do the same to those outstanding shares. It makes good sense for
National Boston as well, because they need cash to revitalize their operations
and restricted stock doesn't pay the bills. We also want to see National
Boston's shareholders benefit from the $1.2 million that NBMX would receive
through the sales that could be generated with cash from the purchase. This
should afford the officers of National Boston Medical, Inc an opportunity to
implement their launch and retain their rights to Bontempi Surgical Instruments
Inc. It truly is a win-win Offer. Infotopia will update its shareholders as
negotiations progress."
