Company Advises on Immediate Stockholder Disclosure Requirements

NEW YORK, NY–(EMWNews – July 21, 2008) – Fortress Financial Group, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: FFGO) advises its stockholders that as it is a “Reporting Company” with the

SEC, certain stockholders are required by law to disclose their

stockholdings in filings with the SEC.

The Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock as at July 21, 2008 are

now in the amount of 33,295,377,817.

Any stockholder holding in excess of 5% of the Company’s outstanding stock,

that being in the amount of 1,664,768,891 shares of the Company’s Common

Stock, is required to file a Form 15(g) with the SEC within ten days from

their purchases. These stockholders will be required thereafter to file all

and any of their purchases and sales of the Company’s shares of Common

Stock, within ten days from any such purchase or sale. This will require

full disclosure of the pricing paid per share as well as full and accurate

disclosure of the ultimate beneficial owner of these shares.

Any stockholder holding in excess of 10% of the Company’s outstanding

stock, that being in the amount of 3,329,537,782 shares of the Company’s

Common Stock, is required to file a Form 15(d) with the SEC within ten days

from their purchases. These stockholders will be required thereafter to

file all and any of their purchases and sales of the Company’s shares of

Common Stock, within ten days from any such purchase or sale. This will

require full disclosure of pricing paid per share as well as full and

accurate disclosure of the ultimate beneficial owner of these shares.

These rules apply to parties acting in concert.

The Company issues this statement in light of the circa 46% reduction in

its outstanding shares through the Company’s stock repurchases in the past

month. Many stockholders may not be aware of these filing and reporting

obligations to the SEC.

The Company intends to continue its buyback of its shares of Common Stock,

and remains extremely committed to a vastly reduced number of its

outstanding shares of Common Stock and a considerably diminished “free

float.” Stockholders are advised to watch the reduction in the Company’s

outstanding shares of Common Stock on a weekly basis as they may well be

liable, or may soon become liable to file either a Form 15(g) or Form 15(d)

with the SEC.
