Does anyone know the significance of the "1" in Clean 1? Is there going to be a Clean 2, 3, 4, etc...???
Hey Dennis, nice to see you here, too... are you in?
If you go out this weekend keep your eyes open for these brands:

From NYC? Have you seen their building , or more importantly, tried any of the beer? :)
Hi all, just signed on as the new moderator. Getting my feet wet, learning how to update, etc... if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. The potential for AEMD is infinite. Welcome :)

They already have the big accounts in CA, it must be U.S. IMO. Just can't wait for the specifics...
I don't see "U.S."? I do agree that it likely is, though, based on Erics language about it.
That doesn't matter crash, we have many products in the pipeline. OF COURSE the big guns are going to jump on board, that's not surprising. I think it's GOOD in that it confirms that the industry is taking off, as Rocket has said several times, we just need a slice....
They do have one, of course. I don't understand either, but I do have plenty of patience. From the e-mail it appears his biggest concern is a decrease in access to capital from the reporting status. I'm not exactly sure how that would happen, though, does anyone know?
If they are having trouble keeping up with demand they should be hiring more employees anyway, even if both the production and distribution are being outsourced. I hope their unwillingness to issue more shares to new employees doesn't hinder their overall growth. We need to see the numbers soon after the April announcement, IMO. Even a decent sub-six figure salary would be nothing compared to the millions they plan on making per year in this early phase of growth, in fact it should be a priority. Eric says they are actively discussing it at the company, and that's good enough for me.
REPOST - E-mail from Eric about reporting:
Letter from Eric about reporting, start from bottom:
Hello Mr. XXXXXXX,
Thank you for your kind thoughts – and for the opportunity of answering your question. The transition from Non-Reporting Issuer to Reporting Issuer has an intermediate step of Non-Reporting Issuer with Voluntary Disclosure. It is possible that this will be our progression. I have been careful not to provide specific dates for these possible transitions because it is in the company’s culture to do what it says it will do. Until there is certainty about that issue, we consider it more honest to leave this in the category of under review.
The relative merits of being a reporting issuer can be discussed at great length because the costs and constraints which follow from reporting status are not necessarily matched by improved access to capital.
My assessment is that Winning Brands must solidify the business foundation on which it is standing with more concrete and statistically projectable revenue sources that would satisfy the more conservative investment dealerships so that if such a transition from one state to another takes place the continuing access to capital is already planned and determined in advance according to the new status.
If in the interim we file voluntary disclosure documents then we also need to ensure that it is something that will be done without inadvertently forfeiting our Non-Reporting status.
Please do rest assured the subject is under active discussion in the company.
Thank you for your interest in Winning Brands Corporation and for being part of the shareholding family.
Sincerely,
Eric Lehner, CEO

Subject: Investor Question
Dear Mr. Lehner,
I am an investor in your fine company from Belmont, MA. First and most importantly, congratulations on all of the recent developments as shown through your impressive PRs. I have already seen my portfolio grow significantly since starting a position in December, but to say it was unexpected wouldn't be accurate; I have a lot of faith in Winning Brands and the direction it is headed.
That being said, I do have one major concern. I have read your investor FAQ several times, and I do not quite understand one particular statement, in regards to reporting:
"It is very much in the interests of shareholders that the company benefits from the privileges of Non-Reporting Issuer status while this status is still available to it, rather than depriving the company of the competitive flexibility which this status provides."
I am sure you understand where I am coming from, but it just seems that Winning Brands must be quickly approaching a situation where the benefits of reporting outweigh the disadvantages of your shareholders not knowing the cash flow and financials of the company, especially when the company is having so much success in marketing and sales. It seems that this is where the majority of the criticism lies among those who are still sitting on the sideline. Perhaps it is just a matter of preference, but it seems as though some would rather see red (and presumably the progression to green) than no numbers at all.
Admittedly, I am young and naive, so please be patient with my inquisition and take it as a compliment that your investors are eager to know this information. I know that you cannot give me any definitive answer and trust that you're doing things in the investors' best interest, but any further insight into the process would be greatly appreciated.
Congratulations again and thank you for your time and for the opportunity to share in the successes of your fine company.
Sincerely,
Mr. XXXXXX
I asked him and he responded via e-mail. Please look at my past posts, it's in there.

Maybe someone should read the PR's aloud to crashman?
Don't get me wrong, I said it'd be silly to be disappointed in ANY national account, and although HD seems most likely, I don't want new WNBDers to get the idea that HD is with 100% certainty the chain we are to get in April.
This is just the beginning, though, and IMO if we don't get HD this spring they'll follow in short order.
How would the PPS react to an April announcement of any other national retailer BESIDES HD? I feel like our expectations are so high that if we get Lowes instead we'd actually be disappointed, which is silly of course. I love being optimistic but I think we should be careful. Talking to the local HD's, although we must do so delicately, might help us land them either whether the HD account is in the works alreay or not.
REPOSTED NEWS - key phrases in bold
Winning Brands Corporation (PINKSHEETS: WNBD) (FRANKFURT: WMU) www.WinningBrands.ca reports that orders have been placed with Winning Brands' Solvent Free Solutions Team for the installation of its SMART™ Wet Cleaning System on Holland America Line's ms Zuiderdam, ms Oosterdam and ms Westerdam. All 3 ships are Holland America Line "Vista-class" ships and as such embrace the latest industry and environmental technologies. www.HollandAmerica.com
Holland America Line is a leader in converting its cruise ships to an environmentally friendly alternative to on-board dry cleaning. The new system, SMART™ Wet Cleaning, does not use the solvent commonly associated with dry cleaning, Perchloroethylene (Perc) but uses environmentally gentler cleaning agents and clean water instead. The conversion is part of an ongoing commitment by Holland America Line toward excellence in all fields of operation. These conversions will be the 9th, 10th and 11th Holland America Line cruise ships to adopt the SMART™ Wet Cleaning System. The system is comprised of professional wet cleaning equipment from Miele, finishing equipment from Viet and the SMART™ Wet Cleaning Solutions from Winning Brands Corporation. The cleaning agents are environmentally advanced in that they permit processing "Dry Clean Only" garments by utilizing clean water instead of hazardous solvents. The system is considered a breakthrough in convenience, safety and comfort for professional garment cleaning and is capable of processing all garments on board.3 ships together are rated for a combined passenger and crew count of 8,012 people.
People underestimating how huge this is... three ADDITIONAL ships.. that means it's working, and they like it... news like this spreads to competitors, and this is just ONE line of revenue for WNBD.
There are many of us.... good idea in theory but feels like I'm reading spam. We all know who the true longs are.
Why isn't Macau listed under Aladdin's "brands" on the website?
Gotta love high margins, whether it's beer or cleaning products :) Just don't confuse the two..
Good point, if we make it rich on ADTJ we'll meet in New York and drink their beer instead of going to Vegas.
Welcome aboard Auto haha... didn't take long for you to do that DD... now if we make it to Vegas you really will be buying the drinks lol
OT: You seem to like similar plays as I (WNBD, HCFE)... take a look at ADTJ if you can a chance, but of course do your own DD. Let me know what you think.
Auto, nice to see you here, let's ride HCFE and WNBD together. We can have a double party in Vegas, but you're buying the drinks

"sitting pretty right now"... must maintain .002 support. So far so good :) Waiting for the "blue sky breakout" above 0.0031.
I called them too, and the girl that answered didn't even know the address of the center. She also told me "she's just taking the calls" which wasn't very professional, IMO... you'd think they'd want prospective investors/clients to know where they can go to get the service, no? Presumably they'd at least arm the phone operator with the address of the center if they give her anything at all.
I don't understand how the press releases coincide with what you're all saying now...
""Syndication Inc. (OTCBB: SYDI) is proud to report that its spinal decompression division shattered its opening week revenue projections at its new Rockville / Gaithersburg Center. In its first week of business the unit billed over $13,000 in treatments, more then doubling the Company's new center projections. "As a result of this performance we have adjusted the unit's first 90 day revenue projections up to $120,000 from $60,000 and feel confident in achieving that goal," said Brian Sorrentino, Syndication Inc. CEO. The significance of this number is overwhelming for a first week. Marketing in this area has just begun and is now gaining strength. Professionals in both the medical and legal arena have begun to inquire as to the availability of treatments for their patients and injury clients. "We are truly proud of this opening week performance and are gaining confidence in our business plan. It truly demonstrates to all our shareholders and future shareholders that our business plan is on a track to success. We have now targeted the location of our next unit and are moving forward aggressively," said Mr. Sorrentino.""
And yet they don't own the centers? They only own the Spinemed tables? This doesn't make any sense, why would the projections matter at all unless it was the company's own revenue?
It's a little bit bizarre that none of the investors know the address of this center. Why would they hide an address of a company that they just increased projections for? I am not trying to bash, never would WANT to, just trying to gain some of my own confidence back, I've already taken a big loss on SYDI
.45 a yea ago... and that was just before a R/S..which means there was a higher float? Or does it not? If it does, doesn't that mean the potential is even greater now for it to go even higher than it was? Am I totally off here?
What was the problem, just a delay with the TA?
BLAINE, WA, Feb 25, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Purio (OTCBB: PURO) is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with a private land-owner to test our new compact model clarifier in a real-life, on-location situation. In this application the compact unit will process waste-water from a single-family residence's existing septic tank. The waste-water will be clarified using Purio's patented process, and the product water will undergo further upgrading and sanitization to meet or exceed local guidelines.
In keeping with Purio's "green theme" the product water will be released through an irrigation system for beautification of the grounds.
For ease of portability, Purio's plans call for the entire unit including upgrade and sanitization equipment to fit on a 4'x10' skid.
"The next few weeks of testing will provide the company with valuable design and costing information," says Earl Switeanky, spokesman for Purio. "We are purposely pushing the envelope on this design in three directions. One is in the downscaling of our existing model, and the other is in the low capital cost and low operational cost of this equipment, and the third is in energy efficiency. Our design calculations already have confirmed that the unit is capable of being powered by solar power in suitable regions."
"We're ahead of schedule on the building and testing of this model. We had previously announced a six-month time line. Due to a high volume of inquiries for equipment of this size and other circumstances in our favor, we are pleased to move that forward," says Switenky. "We expect to have water flowing through the unit and testing begun by March."

Has anyone found the address of the first compression center yet? I'm back on the sideline until I see one of those fliers with real contact info. GLTA, still rooting for the stock.
Why is it so hard to move this stock? Seems like there's a pretty low float acording to the Ibox. Gagged T/A? MM manip?
Great news, thanks Going... are you specifically looking for them or are they surprising you?
Just a matter of time, now. Important for the longs to truly think LONG, not just day to day. Although it makes it fun :)
-Just M2C
Bid up to 28.. may be our last chance to get them this cheap?
What's going on here today? buys vs. sells? L2?
TIA

I'd love to try it. Is there a way to try any of the brands without driving to NY?
