Podium Venture Group, Inc. Subsidiary N'East Magazine Issue 9 on Newsstands

Podium Venture Group, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PDVP), an apparel, media, and publishing holding company in the lifestyle sports industry, announced today subsidiary N'East Magazine Issue 9 is on newsstands.

"Issue 9 is our strongest yet in all categories. Ad sales, distribution expansion, forecasted sell-through and subscriber gains. The issue proves yet again that N'East has quickly become the source for lifestyle sports, travel and news for the northeast. The issue is heavily surf & skate focused as those two markets have shown the strongest advertising and readership interest. With an increase of over 7,000 copies distributed over the previous issues, Issue 9 will surely be a tremendous success and kick-off the summer season." -- Jim McGinley, President & CEO, Podium Venture Group, Inc.

Mr. McGinley continues on the acquisition of N'East Magazine:

"On May 18th we announced the company share structure. It is important to understand that while we do anticipate the closing of the remaining 51% to occur very near term -- this acquisition has already been factored in the current share structure and will not have a direct effect on the company's share structure as previously announced. It should also be understood that any delay in the closing of N'East Magazine in previous months was only to further allow responsible maturing of company assets and brands currently held by the company."
