This completes a planning process that began in early 2007. KIND(TM) had been shown to buying groups during 2007 as preparation for distribution to begin 2008.

Commencement of retail sales of KIND(TM) LaundryDetergent, KIND(TM) Fabric Softener and KIND(TM) Laundry Stain Remover is expected to accelerate Winning Brands' consumer recognition, sources of cashflow and operational development. The company will announce its initial KIND(TM) retail partners at the Green Living Show. www.GreenLivingShow.ca

The Green Living Show is Toronto's only consumer show dedicated to allthings "green." Everything consumers need to green-up their life is presented in a highly innovative show environment at Toronto's Direct Energy Centre, Exhibition Place. The 2007 inauguaral Green Living Show featured former U.S. Vice-President & Nobel Prize winner Al Gore and other leading voices in matters affecting environmental awareness. The 2007 event generated over 67,000,000 media impressions and was attended by 20,000 people -- expected to double in attendance for 2008.

KIND(TM) Laundry Products are very highly concentrated liquids whichdiminish the use of packaging and reduce wasteful transporation of the excess water contained in conventional products. The products are also more compact in the home and easier to lift. They do not contain enzymes, flourescent whitening agents, EDTA, NTA, phosphates, artifical dyes, artificial fragrance and other traditional detergent ingredients. KIND(TM) Laundry Products are the culmination of years of research and regional testing in a variety of settings. The goalwas to create aditional options for consumers who are oriented to the environmental consequences of their purchases, without sacrificing cleaning performance. Market research indicates that demand for eco-products is growing rapidly, creating an opening for new high quality products to attain widespread distribution.The KIND(TM) Laundry Products' mascot bunny appearing on KIND(TM)retail products is emblematic of the product line's philosophy of kindness. WinningBrands National Sales Manager Patricia Miles puts it this way -- "I loved being part of the emergence of this new brand for reasons that I hope consumers will share -- I feel as good about using KIND(TM) as I feel about the cleaning results. It's very safisfying."

Professional versions of Winning Brands' laundry products have alreadybecome popular in the garment care industry. The SMART(TM) Wet Cleaning System, for example, is becoming established as an alternative to the solvent Perchloroethylene used in Dry Cleaning. Winning Brands Corporation was the only manufacturer of "next generation" Wet Cleaning solutions (designed specifically to replace Perc) to make a submission to the Toronto Board of Health May 14, 2007 during the Board's public deliberations on how to phase out the use of Perc by Toronto's Dry Cleaners. Winning Brands SMART(TM) Wet Cleaning System was subsequently installed at Toronto's Glenforest Cleaners inAugust 2007 to prove its effectiveness. Since conversion to Perc-free operation, GlenforestCleaners has expereinced decreased costs, increased customersatisfaction and higher sales -- with a lower carbon footprint due to reduced utility use and the elimination of toxic waste. The knowledge of professional garment careinherent in these cleaning processes enabled Winning Brands to bring domestic KIND(TM) Laundry Products to consumers for their household washables. The equipment usedin the SMART(TM) Wet Cleaning System is manufactured by Miele(R) and Veit(R).
