<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Kids gladly hand over in excess of $400.00 for a  pair of these oh-so-cool threads. Even Fergie sings about there irresistible appeal. With new locations opening up daily, and their stock trading at nearly a 52 week high of $26.00 / share , I think its fair to say that True Religion is a <span class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom:medium none;background:transparent none repeat scroll 0 50%;cursor:pointer;">True Success story</span>. Here&#8217;s probably what you didn&#8217;t know though: you could have bought shares in True Religion at l<a href="http://ffgo.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/mediapalhow.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5" src="http://ffgo.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/mediapalhow.jpg?w=510&#038;h=290" alt="" width="510" height="290" /></a>ess than a dime per share only a few years ago. From a nickel per share to over $26.00? Quite the percentage return wouldn&#8217;t you say? How did they do it you ask  ?  Something most investors don’t know about: the</span><span style="color:#ffffff;"> acquired merger</span><span style="color:#ffffff;">.An </span><span style="color:#ffffff;">near </span><span style="color:#ffffff;">empty</span><span style="color:#ffffff;">, dormant</span><span style="color:#ffffff;"> public company acquires a real</span><span style="color:#ffffff;">ly</span> tangible and <span style="color:#ffffff;">highly </span><span style="color:#ffffff;">lucrative private co and off they go&#8230; instant value-added business model</span><span style="color:#ffffff;"> linked to a tightly held, underlying float</span><span style="color:#ffffff;">. in this case I&#8217;m s</span><span style="color:#ffffff;">haring the suggestion that we take  look at </span><span style="color:#ffffff;"> shares of Veridigm , Inc </span><span style="color:#ffffff;"> (VRGD) </span><span style="color:#ffffff;">as the latest </span><span style="color:#ffffff;">ac</span><span style="color:#ffffff;">quired</span><span style="color:#ffffff;"> merger thats gone pretty much unnoticed</span><span style="color:#ffffff;">, until Friday afternoon when its stock woke up.</span><span style="color:#ffffff;"> Trading under the symbol VRGD , Veridigm , Inc has just signed deals with Serious <span class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom:medium none;background:transparent none repeat scroll 0 50%;cursor:pointer;">Web 2.0</span> players including <a href="http://mediapal.com/" target="_blank"><span class="yshortcuts">MediaPal.com</span></a> </span><span style="color:#ffffff;">a <span class="yshortcuts">Warner Music Group</span> contractor (one of only three globally!!) </span><span style="color:#ffffff;">. Trading for under a dime a share  &#8211; I think a conservative long term estimate of $1.00 &#8211; $2.00 dollars isn&#8217;t out of the question. Do yourself the favor of looking into Veridigm, Inc (symbol VRGD) while its down here and hopefully, once the rest of the people catch on you&#8217;ll think you&#8217;ve found a true religion.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><div class="p">NEW YORK, NY, Aug 01, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) &#8212; Fortress Financial Group, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: FFGO) announced on July 24, 2008 that the Company had resolved to distribute an amount of US$400 million of its Gold Assets to its Stockholders, in the form of an Extraordinary Dividend.</div>
<div class="p">This Extraordinary Dividend equates to an amount of 1.24 cents per share of Common Stock based upon the outstanding shares of the Company&#8217;s Stock at July 24, 2008. The Company receives an amount of US$500 million in quoted Gold Mining stock (&#8220;Goldco&#8221;) in exchange for its stockholding in the &#8220;Bouse&#8221; and &#8220;South Copperstone&#8221; Gold Mining &amp; Exploration companies. This transaction will be consummated in August of 2008. Our calculations of this valuation are contained in the latest Form 8-K filings with the SEC.</div>
<div class="p">On July 31, the Company announced that a Private Equity Firm was set to control 51% of its outstanding shares of Common Stock.</div>
<div class="p">The CEO of Fortress Financial Group, Inc., Alan Santini, pledged to stockholders that he would address each of their concerns in this Press Release. The main areas of interest and concern to our stockholders are listed below with Alan Santini&#8217;s responses.</div>
<pre>1.   WILL THE COMPANY CONTINUE TO REPURCHASE AND RETIRE STOCK AFTER THE
     ASSUMPTION OF A CONTROLLING INTEREST BY THE PRIVATE EQUITY GROUP:
     The Company remains committed to further repurchases and retiring of
     its outstanding shares of Common Stock; and in particular its "free
     float." We have been given undertakings by the Private Equity Group
     that this will continue and they support this strategy.
2.   WILL ALAN SANTINI REMAIN AS CEO FOLLOWING THE ASSUMPTION OF A
     CONTROLLING INTEREST BY THE PRIVATE EQUITY GROUP:
     Yes. The Private Equity Group has stated that they support Alan
     Santini and will back up and assist him in his endeavors.
3.   WHY DOES THE COMPANY HAVE SUCH A HUGE AUTHORIZED SHARE CAPITAL:
     I understand that this is a historical matter. Obviously the Company
     does not require 5 trillion shares of Authorized Share Capital, this
     was an error made some time ago. The Company has filed to amend its
     Authorized Share Capital to that of 35 billion shares and will
     decrease this number over time.
4.   WILL THE COMPANY EFFECT A REVERSE SPLIT OF ITS COMMON STOCK:
     The Company will not contemplate a Reverse Split until such time as we
     can be absolutely assured that we can protect the stock price, post
     any split. In my opinion and based upon this Company's history of
     unsuccessful Reverse Splits, I will not be entertaining the idea of a
     Reverse Split at this time. The Private Equity Group has made it clear
     that they will not support any Reverse Split.
5.   HOW MANY SHARES DOES THE COMPANY BELIEVE TO BE IN THE "FREE FLOAT":
     The Company is awaiting the filings of Form 13(g) and Form 13(d) from
     certain investors. Upon receipt of these filings, we will be in a
     position to publish an accurate number. We do not want to mislead
     investors nor stockholders. The "Free float" has been considerably
     reduced over the past month and the daily trading volumes reflect much
     intraday trading as the "free float" certainly cannot now be in excess
     of 1.5 billion shares of the Company's Common Stock.
6.   WILL THE COMPANY STILL BE PAYING THE EXTRAORDINARY DIVIDEND AFTER THE
     ASSUMPTION OF A CONTROLLING INTEREST BY THE PRIVATE EQUITY GROUP:
     Absolutely yes. They invested primarily as they saw our Company as a
     "value play." They are 100% behind the payment of this Dividend. It is
     of huge benefit and profit to themselves.
7.   WHY HAS THE TRANSFER AGENT NOT YET CANCELLED ALL OF THE SHARES
     REPURCHASED BY THE COMPANY:
     This is a time consuming process and involves much paperwork. We are
     awaiting stock certificates from a number of parties; and upon
     receipt thereof, we will file them with the Transfer Agent for
     cancellation along with all of the requisite paperwork. Stock
     repurchased by the Company in the market can only be cancelled upon
     settlement of these trades and then a physical stock certificate will
     have be requested from the Broker; and these stock certificates will
     be filed with the Transfer Agent for cancellation.
     All stock cancellations will be up to date with the Transfer Agent
     well before the "Record Date" of the Extraordinary Dividend to ensure
     that there are no errors in the payment of this Extraordinary
     Dividend.
8.   WHY IS THE COMPANY INCREASING ITS STOCK IN HUNT GOLD CORPORATION:
     The Company believes that Hunt Gold Corporation is way undervalued and
     as it is already a stockholder in that Company, we see an opportunity
     to profit from a takeover of that Company. We will continue to
     increase our holdings in that Company and will keep up the pressure in
     the hopes of a "bidding war" for that Company. To date, we have made a
     sizeable paper profit on this investment. This a short term and
     unrelated activity to our core business and being done purely for
     short term investment gains.</pre>
<div class="p">Alan Santini, the CEO of Fortress Financial Group, Inc. commented that he hoped that he was able to clarify many of the issues raised by Stockholders. Alan Santini &#8220;hoped that these answers would enable stockholders to make logical decisions as to whether or not they should buy or sell the Company&#8217;s stock.&#8221;</div>
<div class="p">Any further information required by our stockholders will be immediately provided, should they E Mail their questions to the Company.</div>
<div class="p">About Fortress Financial Group, Inc.</div>
<div class="p">Fortress Financial Group, Inc. was primarily engaged in the issuing and marketing of prepaid debit card and related payment solution activities. Through the closure of the Trinity Mercantile Finance Group and the Mortgage Bank acquisitions, Fortress Financial Group, Inc. is now expediting its plans to become a broadly based Consumer Finance Group. The &#8220;Mortgage and Consumer Lending Divisions&#8221; will comprise the vast majority of the Group&#8217;s earnings in the immediate to medium term.</div>
<div class="p">The Company is utilizing is substantial Balance Sheet of circa US$100 million  comprised of quoted and unquoted Gold Mining &amp; Exploration stocks (This is after the payment of the Extraordinary Dividend of US$400 million to stockholders) to aggressively fund a large number of acquisitions in the consumer financial services sector, initially focused in the Mortgage Lending and Banking sectors.</div>
