MNDP News:

December 31 - Mindpix Management 2007 Year-End Letter to Shareholders

Management of Mindpix (OTCBB: MNDP) has determined it necessary to give a 2007 year-end update on the progress of the UltraFlex fitness device as well as make our shareholders aware of recent material decisions regarding previously announced press releases.

Looking back at the year in review Mindpix has reached many important UltraFlex milestones including completing a successful twelve-week UltraFlex fitness and weight loss study, producing workout DVDs, production of a "man on the street" featuring first-time users, signed the 2007 Female Presenter of the Year Forbes Riley, introducing TheraFlex to the Physical Therapy and Training to Physiotherapy Associates, acquiring testimonials from fitness instructors and personal trainers, a physical therapy training DVD, signing a major celebrity, introducing new physical therapy and active senior products (TheraFlex) to name a few. It has been quite a year and the outlook for 2008 looks equally promising.

Mindpix has decided for strategic reasons not to air UltraFlex commercials in conjunction with Supplements To Go Ms. Fitness World Pageant. Mindpix had previously announced (Nov 19th 2007) that it intended to air two sixty-second commercials during the pageant broadcast on Fox Sport News beginning January 1, 2008. It was determined that airing the commercials prior to our infomercial national launch would not make good marketing sense particularly due to the fact that our celebrity talent would not be featured in the commercials. Mindpix holds the option to air commercials beginning in May 2008 during the Supplements To Go Ms. Fitness USA Pageant.

Mindpix management also has cancelled the exhibition at the annual Baseball Team Medicine Conference in St. Louis on January 3-5, 2008. A scheduling conflict made it impossible for our medical division team to attend.

Management believes that the marketing strategy in place is sound and looks forward to executing the business plan with profitable results for 2008. Mindpix has benefited from loyal shareholders who have taken the time to review our progress and communicated with us ways in which they can assist us in reaching our business goals.

Mindpix wishes each of you a happy and prosperous new year.

December 28 - Successful Initial Production at Surefil by Winning Brands

Home Depot Canada Aisle Displays of Winning Colours(R) Stain Remover Being Filled

Winning Brands Corporation (OTC: WNBD) (www.WinningBrands.ca) reports that initial production of its Winning Colours® Stain Remover was blended on schedule and without incident at the previously announced new manufacturing facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan in December as forecast. Surefil LLC of Grand Rapids, Michigan (www.Surefil.com), a top rated custom manufacturing facility, was able to produce the first 1/2 truckload batch on December 27th in a fraction of the previously required time, for packaging January 2nd and delivery to the distribution pipeline during the first week of January. This initial production was earmarked for use by Home Depot Canada to fill new custom metal aisle display stands of Winning Colours® Stain Remover for testing at 100 stores; a merchandising concept requiring 9,240 32oz bottles. The M.S.R.P. value of these bottles to consumers is $91,938.00. Other stores to be announced in due course are also testing a smaller number of these new merchandising displays.

Winning Brands and Surefil are treating their strategic relationship as a model to illustrate the capabilities of both companies. In the case of Winning Brands, this capability relates to the design of environmentally progressive solutions that have profound long term growth potential — and developing its branding strategies to justify breakthrough relationships with top retailers. In the case of Surefil, the capability being illustrated is super-efficient production capacity utilization for the benefit of brand partners. In the words of Surefil CEO Bill Hunt — "Surefil's carefully planned expansion will allow us to keep up with Winning Brands capacity demands, in turn allowing them to scale up to meet the needs of even the most senior retail chains in the world. Currently, we have 125 million units of planned production capacity with more than 50 million units of capacity already in use by qualified brand partners like Winning Brands. If more capacity is required, we will expand and install new production lines."

Winning Brands CEO Eric Lehner favours this form of production capacity for the benefit of shareholders. "Our retail investors know that we need to raise capital from the market. They will accept and support this as long as the capital that we obtain is put to good use and grows the value of our brands through marketing methods. This increases the value of Winning Brands by a greater amount than the investment itself. That is true growth. By letting Surefil apply their capital to be tops in production expertise and Winning Brands apply its capital to be tops in brand strategy development, then the stakeholders in both organizations get the most for their money."

Winning Colours® Stain Remover achieved initial distribution in the Paint & Decorating sector as an eco-solvent that is exceptionally kind to skin and to surfaces that would ordinarily be off-limits to conventional solvents. Initial results from early marketing have revealed that consumers have been expanding their uses of Winning Colours® Stain Remover into a wide range of additional applications. Accordingly, Winning Brands has revised its label for 2008 to suggest this wider range of uses at the point-of-sale and facilitate listing by retailers in sectors beyond Paint & Decorating. Winning Colours® Stain Remover is being positioned to become North America's favourite stain remover. Winning Brands has begun to use the phrase "Got Stains?" on its merchandising, packaging and advertising of Winning Colours® Stain Remover to make the existence of stains and Winning Colours® Stain Remover an automatic association.

January 2 - Akeena Solar Licenses New Solar Panel Technology to Suntech

Suntech to Distribute Andalay Panels in Europe, Japan and Australia

Akeena Solar, Inc. (NASD: AKNS), a leading designer and installer of solar power systems, announced that its state-of-the-art solar panel technology, Andalay, will be distributed in Europe, Japan and Australia under a license agreement with Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd. (NYSE: STP), one of the world's leading manufacturers of photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules.

The terms of the Licensing Agreement authorize Suntech to distribute Andalay in Europe, Japan and Australia commencing in January 2008. This Licensing Agreement is in addition to Suntech’s previous agreement to manufacture Andalay solar panels.

Andalay solar-panel technology was envisioned by Akeena’s CEO, Barry Cinnamon, after years of rooftop solar installation experience and customer feedback. “Andalay improves on conventional solar panels by including built-in wiring, grounding and racking designed to provide maximum rooftop performance for consumers while minimizing installation costs for solar system installers. The result is a rooftop solar power system with superior built-in reliability with outstanding aesthetics in an all-black, streamlined appearance,” said Barry Cinnamon. “Moreover, an installed Andalay system uses 70 percent fewer parts and requires 25 percent fewer attachment points than traditional solar systems, meaning better long-term performance.”

Len May, Suntech’s Managing Director of BIPV Products, said: “Akeena’s new Andalay technology will be a valuable addition to our growing portfolio of solar products and will help keep Suntech on the leading edge of solar technology innovation. Andalay is a significant innovation that directly addresses the need to reduce the cost of solar systems, and we are confident that there will be significant demand for this attractive and high performance solar solution in markets outside of the U.S.” Suntech targets sales of over 10MW of the Andalay solar panels to the licensed regions in 2008.

“We welcome this expanded collaboration with Akeena Solar to introduce this lower installed cost solution to international markets,” said Dr. Zhengrong Shi, Suntech’s Chairman and CEO. “The innovative Andalay panel is the perfect complement to our product offering and a clear example of Suntech’s efforts to support and promote products that bring the industry closer to grid parity. This agreement will leverage Suntech’s product development expertise, flexible and low cost manufacturing base, and robust global sales and distribution channels to expand the availability of this important new solar innovation.”

“We are delighted Andalay will be available in select countries outside the United States through one of the world's leading manufacturers of solar cells and panels,” said Barry Cinnamon. “Suntech is the natural partner to license this technology given their role in co-developing and manufacturing the product, and their extensive international distribution channels that are among the strongest in the industry. Akeena Solar and Suntech also share a focus on quality and value. We are experiencing very strong demand for Andalay, and this licensing agreement with Suntech will allow us to meet our customer’s needs for Andalay outside of our direct channels in the U.S.”

Juniper Group, Inc. (OTCBB: JUNI) (“Juniper”) a wireless communications contractor, specializing in tower erection, extension, modifications as well as cellular wireless, broadband and microwave system installations has contracted with Complete Tower Sources, Inc. Complete Tower Sources, Inc. (“CTSI”) provides services to the wireless industry throughout the Gulf Coast region. Its customers include the top four wireless operators, two of the most respected program management companies and various government entities. CTSI is a subsidiary of Charys Holding Company which provides telecommunications infrastructure and general business services though its subsidiaries. Juniper was awarded bids to work in Mississippi to provide technology upgrades, equipment modification, reconfiguration of lines and antennas and sweep tests. Based on the quality and timely delivery of work by Juniper to date in Jackson, MS, Juniper will look to CTSI to get involved with CTSI’s 300 tower upgrade in Louisiana and to assist in raw land site development for its new sites in the New Orleans, LA area in early 2008. The first phase of work in Jackson, MS has been completed, and has resulted in an additional $151,000 of revenue in the fourth quarter.

In addition, Juniper was awarded work in Florida and Georgia to provide the same services as it has for CTSI for Barran Telecom, a subsidiary of Israel’s engineering, construction and technology giant Barran Group – providing services to the global wireless telecommunications industry. It is estimated that this work will add approximately $160,000 of revenue in the fourth quarter. Juniper anticipates that it shall continue to provide Barran with the same quality and timely delivery in 2008.

Mr. Vlado P. Hreljanovic, Chairman, CEO and President of Juniper Group Inc., stated, “We anticipate that the demand for broadband installation and wireless infrastructure services will increase in the wireless broadband segment during 2008 through continued support of the tremendous growth in the cellular market and through a robust wireless industry in general. We anticipate that Juniper will show a growth in the fourth quarter of approximately $485,000 in revenue, a substantial increase over last quarter. Our work is in high demand, pushed by the proliferation of services now being added to cell phones and cable. We see both CTSI and Barran as good partners in 2008.”

“We are rebounding from the effects of the recent litigation that we commenced against disloyal former management in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The cost and distraction of this litigation has slowed our growth. However, recent capital raising and future support from our lenders have allowed us to increase our presence and take on new and larger contracts.”

The program includes marketing materials to help the builder sell Pre-Wire Kits and provides a post-purchase activity for the new homeowner. After closing, new owners can go to the Solar Synapse (TM) site to register their kit. They will receive a copy of a "The Homeowner's Guide to Renewable Energy," plus they qualify to receive a Modern Energy Plan(TM) from SNI for their home. The revolutionary Modern Energy Plan(TM) is a customized plan that will tell them the cost to complete the total solar system, plus, educate the consumer regarding the incentives in their area.

"We feel the Solar Synapse(TM) is a unique solution for builders who seek to differentiate their business and attract the mainstreaming green market. Education is an important aspect of our business model and we believe this program teaches builders about the potential of using modern energy solutions as a best-practice, and educating the homeowner regarding their options," says Tim Corbet, CEO of Solar Night.

Solar Night is expanding the Solar Synapse(TM) product rollout via a network of Manufacturer's Representatives' from the building and renewable energy segments. For more information, go to www.SolarSynapse.com.
