TORONTO, Oct. 18, 2013 /CNW/ - McVicar Industries Inc. ("McVicar", the "Company") reports that the Company has been granted access to the production facilities of its wholly owned chemical subsidiary, Zhejiang Hongbo Chemical Co. Ltd. ("Hongbo"), through the involvement of various levels of local governments.  As announced in the Company's October 9, 2013 press release, the facility had been wrongfully occupied by the factory managers and staff.

McVicar has formed a new Hongbo management team drawn from its other subsidiaries to begin working in the facility although intense resistance continues from the original management and related staff. McVicar has hired a local audit company to start an initial assessment of the facilities. McVicar continues to negotiate for the return of full control of the operation.

Although we believe that our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will materialize.
