for various clients. These vehicles have brought approximately $180,000

stated, "We are very proud of our new building. Everyone has put
tremendous work and effort into getting everything accomplished as quickly
as possible. There are a few minor cosmetic items left to complete but
we can now resume full operations. The best thing about all of this is
that we own the building so no money is being thrown away in leasing agreements."
Due to the recent construction activity and resulting
dust the Company was unable to perform many of its production and vehicle
enhancing operations. With major construction complete the Company can
now perform services for its ongoing clients.

Plexera Bioscience LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Lumera Corporation (NASD: LMRA), announced that it has shipped a pre-commercial
version of its novel Plexera™ KX5 Analyzer. Plexera’s first
Early Access Partner is a pharmaceutical company who will be evaluating
the system as a tool for screening and characterizing antibody libraries.
As part of the early access agreement, the customer will have a 90 day
period following installation to evaluate the platform. Pending positive
evaluation results, the customer has agreed to purchase a commercial version
of the KX5 Analyzer. A second early access partner is anticipated in the
second quarter.
As previously announced, Plexera intends to formally
launch the Plexera™ KX5 System at the Protein Engineering Summit
(PEGS) in early May. As part of the Early Access Program, partners will
provide application and performance data to be used in conjunction with
the launch.
“Shipment of this instrument is a key milestone
in our development path,” said Dr. Timothy Londergan, President
and Chief Operating Officer of Plexera. “There are number of key
innovations which bring about significant advancements in both usability
and performance and we are excited to get these in front of the customer.”
The KX5 Analyzer is a core component of the Plexera™

thousands of biomolecular interactions in single experiment. The Plexera™
KX5 System is a fully integrated platform that also includes array printing,

An additional publication from ISB is expected to be submitted in the
first quarter of 2008.
ISO 9001-2000 Compliant: In 2007, Plexera succeeded

pre-assessment audit. Following successful completion of the certification
audit scheduled to take place by the end of the first quarter of 2008,
Plexera anticipates being fully ISO 9001-2000 compliant.
Co-marketing arrangement with Printer Partners: After
extensive market and technical evaluations of commercially available microarray

validated instrument components of the KX5 instrument system. Plexera
will market the KX5 Analyzer along with the printers as an integrated
instrument system to biomarker and antibody discovery customers.

All 3 Winning Brands Product Groups Ordered at Val-Test Buying Show
Purchase Orders for CLEAN1(TM), KIND(TM) and
Winning Colours(R) Placed by Val-Test Distributors
Winning Brands Corporation (OTC: WNBD), (Frankfurt:
WMU) (www.WinningBrands.ca)
reports that it has received U.S. distributor purchase orders for all
three of its key 2008 roll-out product groups: CLEAN1(TM) Outdoor Cleaner,
KIND(TM) Laundry Products and Winning Colours® Stain Remover at the
close of the 2008 Val-Test Annual Buying Show in Naples, Florida. Industry
watchers were not expecting that CLEAN1(TM) Outdoor Cleaner would be in
the mix, however Winning Brands decided at the last moment to introduce
the new eco-oriented outdoor/indoor cleaner informally ahead of schedule
in the U.S. to gain a first impression from the market here.
The situation of Val-Test member Pearson Distributing
of Minneapolis, Minnesota captures the spirit of the response to Winning
Brands products by attending distributors. Pearson Distributing was amongst
those who placed opening orders and included CLEAN1(TM) with their orders
for KIND(TM) Laundry Products and Winning Colours® Stain Remover.
"We are very excited about our new partnership
with Winning Brands," says Tom Coppo, Vice-President of Pearson.
"Each year you hope to be introduced to a product or company that
will excite the marketplace. Winning Brands is that company for Pearson
Distributing in 2008. I think all these environmentally oriented products
have real potential to succeed for my customers because they fit together
well. It's a logical combination and designed to deliver benefits that
consumers care about."
The family-owned distributor inventories paint sundries
for hardware and paint stores.
"Being in business for over 30 years has allowed
us to develop sharp instincts about what is likely to do well in the marketplace.
We focus on bringing our customers products that solve problems –
and we will take a leadership role when possible. The combination of CLEAN1(TM),
KIND(TM) and Winning Colours® seems like a collection of winners to
us, so we are giving our customers a head start by moving fast,"
Coppo adds. Pearson Distributing counts Northwest Airlines amongst its
customers and prides itself on adding value to the distribution relationships
that it maintains.
"Our customers are busy running their businesses
– they count on us to bring them ideas and carry inventory of great
products for them to utilize. This group of eco-oriented solutions from
Winning Brands is a classic case of something that can be good for everyone
involved," concludes Coppo.
Winning Brands Snr. V.P. Lorne Kelly was in charge of
the company's presence at the Val-Test Buying Show. He summarizes: "I'd
rather not detail the order volumes and identity of every distributor
at this moment because they deserve confidentiality as they prepare to
implement their own business plans. From Winning Brands' perspective however,
the show total has put us well on the way to realize our goals for 2008
through operational phases that have already been disclosed." Winning
Colours® will be featured on the new Pearson website under development,
to be launched February 1, 2008. |
