AuGRID Moving Toward Purchase of Meat Processing Plant


VINELAND, N.J., April 17, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- AuGRID Global Holdings Corp. (Pink Sheets:AGHD), a holding company that acquires and manages a diverse range of businesses, today announced that it is performing final due diligence on a meat processing business that specializes in Halal meat products.

Literally, the word "halal" is Arabic for "permissible," and foods prepared by these standards are a mainstay in certain cultures. The global Halal food trade is currently estimated at $150 billion annually, and expected to grow to $500 billion by 2010. In the U.S., the Company has identified several opportunities to market and sell Halal products, including those in schools, the vending industry and convenience foods such as frozen dinners.

The Halal meat business to be acquired generated $2.55 million in revenues during its last reported fiscal year, with that number expected to climb to $2.8 in 2007. The Company anticipates acquiring a controlling interest during 2007. No assurances can be given that such acquisition shall be achieved or that, if achieved, will result in similar revenues.
