Velocity Portfolio Group to File Periodic Report Late

  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 month period 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 consolidated
financial statements due to its revising of its expected estimated cash
collection forecast methodology by extending the useful life of its
consumer receivables pools from 60 to 84 months and adjusting the timing of
expected future collections in certain pool groups.  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 $3,015,000 for the three-month period ending
June 30, 2009, a 17.7% decrease from gross revenues of approximately
$3,662,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008.

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 auditors 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 Monday August 24, 2009.
