TSX-BAD.UN

CALGARY, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Badger Income Fund ("Badger")
today announced that the trustees of Badger declared a cash distribution for
the month of January of $0.105 per fund unit, representing $1.26 per fund unit

Badger Income Fund is an open-ended trust that is North America's largest
provider of non-destructive excavating services. Badger traditionally works
for contractors and facility owners in the utility and petroleum industries.
Our key technology is the Badger Hydrovac, which is used primarily for safe
digging in congested grounds and challenging conditions. The Badger Hydrovac
uses a pressurized water stream to liquefy the soil cover, which is then
removed with a powerful vacuum system and deposited into a storage tank.
Badger manufactures its truck-mounted hydrovac units.
Badger Income Fund's business model involves the provision of excavating
services through two distinct entities: the Operating Partners (franchisees in
the United States and agents in Canada), and Badger Corporate. Badger
Corporate works with its Operating Partners to provide Hydrovac service to the
end user. In this partnership, Badger provides the expertise, the trucks, and
North American marketing and administration support. The Operating Partners
deliver the service by operating the equipment and developing their local
markets. All work is invoiced by Badger and then shared with the Operating
Partner based upon a revenue sharing formula. In certain locations Badger has
established corporate run operations to market and deliver the service in the
local area.
