Tue, 17 Oct 2006 3:58:00 PDT

IRVINE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/17/2006 -- Advanced Growing Systems, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: AGWS) has begun a strategic banking relationship with CAPCO Financial Corporation [subsidiary of publicly traded Greater Bay Bancorp].

CAPCO has put in place a $2 million working line of credit secured by inventory and accounts receivable, which enables the Company to attain its immediate goals of opening several locations without the need to raise additional equity, which in turn would dilute existing shareholders. Advanced Nurseries, the commercial nursery division of AGWS, has achieved one of its major corporate milestones of generating over $3 million in cumulative gross sales in September. This was only six (6) months after beginning formal operations. The company anticipates growth to accelerate with the Grand Opening of its second facility in Braselton, GA later next week. The Company is achieving average net profits of over $50K per month before considering expansion costs and anticipates that net income will accelerate over the next six months with the scheduled opening of three (3) additional facilities.

Chris Nichols, the President and CEO of Advanced Growing Systems, Inc., said, "The growth curve we are on is outstanding and will continue to be our path into the foreseeable future. However, our cash flow has to be able to keep pace with and support our rapid growth rate. CAPCO Financial used an innovative banking approach of allowing us to utilize our ever-growing receivables and inventory to secure a new operating line of credit."

Management of AGWS determined that the best capital structure for the company is a conservative mix of debt and equity, rather than supporting growth through only equity offerings, which can be highly dilutive to existing shareholders in the early stages of business development. With this debt funding, the Company's capital structure of roughly 20% debt and 80% equity. "As the operations continue to grow and net income increases, the Company projects an estimated debt to equity ratio of 35-40% debt and 60-65% equity by the end of the first quarter of 2007."
