LadyBug Resource Group Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire MAG International

MAG International is an Industry Leader in Mini-Utility Vehicles


KIRKLAND, Wash., Oct. 19, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LadyBug Resource Group Inc. (OTCBB:LBRG) has entered into a Definitive Agreement to acquire 100% of MAG International, Inc. (MAG), a leader in gasoline and electric mini-utility vehicles.

MAG is a manufacturer and distributor of quality and innovatively designed gasoline and electric mini-utility vehicles. MAG's vehicles have an array of applications that can be seen nationwide within various industries such as military bases, government facilities, universities, paper mills, corporate complexes, oil refineries, golf clubs and resorts. MAG's largest customers include several divisions of the United States Federal Government including the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marines. Additionally, over the last four years, several hundred MAG Trucks have been purchased by United States Prime Contractors including Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR) and Fluor Inc. for use by the U.S. Military and are currently in service in the Middle East. 

Sales from inception grew to $19.8 million dollars by the end of 2009 with the largest growth occurring in 2008 when sales hit $9.3 million dollars. As the worldwide recession took hold, MAG dramatically reduced inventory and cut costs during 2009, posting sales of $3.1 million dollars by year-end. For 2010, the Company has orders for $1.8 million and is arranging an expanded credit facility so that it can ramp back up sales to meet the demand by Industry, Government and the Military in both Gas and Electric mini-utility vehicle market.

Eric Baron, CEO and Founder of MAG, said, "MAG is extremely excited to be moving forward with the acquisition by LadyBug. MAG is strategically placed to capitalize on the booming electric vehicle market, especially the Federal Government's effort to electrify portions of their vehicle fleets. We are positioned at the right place at the right time with the right products."

Craig Barton, COO of LadyBug, said, "We see MAG as an opportunity to get in on the ground floor as these specialized vehicles make the transition from conventional fuels to flex fuels and zero emission all-electric drivetrains using American made components and batteries. Energy conservation is now an important national priority. This is the industry of the future and we are very excited to be part of it."
