SPAR Group Completes Acquisition of Wings & Ink

TARRYTOWN, NY, Apr 06 (MARKET WIRE) --
SPAR Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGRP) (the "Company" or "SPAR"), a leading
supplier of retail merchandising and other marketing services throughout
the United States and internationally, today announced it has completed
the acquisition of Wings & Ink, a leading marketing and merchandising
company serving customers throughout Canada. The transaction is expected
to generate at least $3 million in annualized revenues.

Wings & Ink marks the second acquisition, including National Marketing
Services, which SPAR has made within the last 4 months. The combined
acquisitions will add approximately $9 million in total revenue on an
annualized basis. The Wings & Ink transaction is in line with the
Company's previously announced growth strategy of acquiring synergistic
businesses that can be immediately implemented into the Company's core
marketing and merchandising business. This acquisition is being funded
with existing working capital and a portion of existing debt. The final
purchase price of the acquisition is based on a twenty-four month earn
out agreement.

Wings & Ink further enhances SPAR's existing presence in Canada through
its subsidiary, SPAR Canada. Wings & Ink operates in a similar fashion to
SPAR through two divisions, marketing and merchandising services. Wings &
Ink was founded in 1994 and has built a reputation and brand name as a
quality company in the industry, providing excellent customer service.
The transaction adds many new clients to SPAR Canada's customer base
which are well known retailers and consumer package goods manufacturers.
SPAR Canada welcomes Wings & Ink's core management team, including the
managing director, to the SPAR Canada team. The new management team's
experience in operating within the merchandising industry in Canada is
expected to help grow SPAR's business through new customer relationships
and cross selling opportunities.

"Operating in the niche business of marketing and merchandising services
and being an industry leader has presented SPAR with the fortunate
opportunity to acquire valuable assets at attractive valuations to help
fuel the growth of our business," stated Gary Raymond, President and CEO
of SPAR Group Inc. "Today SPAR Canada is operating successfully on a
national and multi-lingual basis in Canada and continues to enjoy a
strong recurring business with existing customers. Wings & Ink not only
adds a new retail and manufacturing customer base, but also helps us
enhance our market penetration in all geographical regions of Canada
through the added workforce and reach of Wings & Ink. We believe the
combination of our proprietary technology, the Wings and Ink team and
their great customer service is a winning platform for growth and margin
improvements. Although the transaction closed on April 1, 2010 both teams
have been working diligently over the past several months to ensure that
the finalized combination of SPAR Canada and Wings & Ink would make a
seamless transition. Going forward we will continue to aggressively
evaluate acquisition opportunities such as Wings & Ink and National
Marketing Services to help grow our business and further cement ourselves
as an industry leader."
