Velocity Portfolio Group Temporarily Suspends Future Monthly Dividend Payment on Series A Preferred Stock

  Velocity Portfolio Group, Inc. (AMEX: PGV)
announced that on February 25, 2009, its board of directors determined that
the company would not declare the February 28, 2009 dividend payment in the
aggregate amount of $114,999 on its Series A Preferred Stock for the
stockholders of record on February 1, 2009, and it has suspended the
company's future monthly dividends effective immediately for Series A
Preferred Stock holders in order to preserve capital.  The dividend payment
scheduled for February 28, 2009 will not be paid.  Since the Series A
Preferred Stock is cumulative, this suspended dividend (and all subsequent
dividends not paid) will be accrued to the benefit of the Preferred Stock
holders and recorded as a liability in the company's net asset value.
