News for 'WNBD' - (Winning Brands Accounts Receivable Credit Facility Increased to $250,000 Response to Growth in Demand for Winning Colours(R) Multi-Cleaner)


BARRIE, ON, Sep 06, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Winning Brands Corporation
(PINKSHEETS: WNBD) (www.WinningBrands.ca) announces that the world's largest independently owned accounts receivable financing organization, Bibby Financial Services (http://www.bibbyfinancialservices.com/about_us.aspx) has opened a $250,000 credit facility for the benefit of Winning Brands' production subsidiary Niagara Mist Marketing Ltd and its distribution partners.

The purpose of the accounts receivable financing credit facility is to ensure that Niagara Mist Marketing Ltd will see cashflow from sales of its products to distributors more rapidly. XMG Corporation, master distributor of Winning
Colours(R) Multi-Cleaner has seen wholesale turnover of the new environmental cleaner grow from $2,800 per week when Paint & Decorating sector tests began in
2005 to over $8,000 per week to date in 2007. Winning Brands' CEO Eric Lehner explains the reason for the larger facility at this time: "There are positive leading indicators for accelerating growth measured by re-order activity and new retailer listings. There are additional sectors for Winning Colours(R) to enter and SKU variations that will deepen market penetration. We should be leveraging the credit worthiness of these receivables through commercial financing, not equity." The $250,000 accounts receivable financing facility will enable the sales organization and production facility to re-invest invoiced proceeds immediately into building larger inventory and promotional activity to support this momentum. The credit facility does not increase indebtedness of the company because all funds advanced are for goods produced and delivered to customers.
Under the new arrangement, the company will typically receive funds within 2 days, rather than 30-45 days. Lehner adds, "In the first week since the arrangement became operational on August 28th, we have received $11,129.28 as advances on receivables that we would otherwise have needed to carry ourselves.
Now we can immediately put that money to use with fast payments to suppliers and strengthening our work flow. The growth in the value of this company will not only be in the emerging power of its brand portfolio but also the reputation Winning Brands develops as a business partner."

Winning Brands Corporation manufactures Winning Colours(R) Multi-Cleaner in North America for domestic and commercial use. Winning Brands' full product range includes a variety of environmentally responsible alternative cleaning solutions, including amongst others SMART(TM) Wet Cleaning Solutions -- a non-toxic alternative to Perchloroethylene used in Dry Cleaning. The indicated sales figures for Winning Colours(R) Multi-Cleaner do not include sales of the company's additional products.
