Update: Velocity Portfolio Group to File Periodic Report Late

WALL, NJ--(Marketwire - August 28, 2009) - Velocity Portfolio Group, Inc. (NYSE Amex: PGV), a portfolio management company that purchases unsecured consumer receivables, announced today that it will be late in filing its Periodic Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009. The company was unable to file the Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission because it was not able to complete the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements due to its revising of the forecasted timing of expected future collections in certain pool groups due to the continued economic deterioration. This was the result of a shortfall in collections in certain pool groups against management's forecast as a result of the current economic crisis, primarily the company's 2005 through 2006 vintages. This is expected to result in a material reduction in revenues year over year for the period ending June 30, 2009. The Company expects to report gross revenues from continuing operations of approximately $6,000,000 for the six-month period ending June 30, 2009, a 20% decrease from gross revenues of approximately $7,500,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008. The Company expects to report a net loss from continuing operations of between $4,500,000 and $5,500,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, and shareholders' equity of approximately $14,000,000 as of June 30, 2009.

The company filed a Form 12b-25 (Notification of Late Filing) on August 17, 2009 for a 5-day extension to file its Form 10-Q, which was due on August 14, 2009. The company and its independent registered public accounting firm are working diligently to complete the filing and the company intends to announce its second quarter financial results and file its Periodic Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC on or prior to the end of business on Friday August 28, 2009.
