Fortress Financial Group, Inc. -- Statement

Company Deals With the Key Issues Concerning Its Stockholders

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - September 16, 2008) - Fortress Financial Group, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: FFGO) addresses the following key issues that appear to be troubling our stockholders:

1. There will be no Reverse Split of the Company's shares of Common Stock. No such action would even be contemplated and definitely not until such time as all outstanding and pending stock dividends have been paid to stockholders in full.

2. The sale of the Company's holdings in both "Bouse" and in "South Copperstone" are a "done deal." The Stock Dividend will be declared upon the Company's receipt of the stock received in respect of this sale; and as previously announced. This is expected to complete this week. The terms of that transaction remain unchanged and will remain unchanged.

3. As previously stated, the Company is not issuing any further shares of its Common Stock until such time as all outstanding and pending stock dividends have been paid to stockholders and in full.

4. The Company will not be removing any restrictive legends on any restricted shares of the Company's Common Stock until such time as all outstanding and pending stock dividends have been paid to stockholders and in full. The "free trading" shares of the Company's shares of Common Stock will remain unchanged.
