PODIUM VENTURE GROUP, INC ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION DISCUSSIONS FOR THE REMAINING MAJORITY INTEREST OF N’EAST MAGAZINE – ANTICIPATED TO BE THE COMPANY’S FIRST 100% HELD SUBSIDIARY

Podium Venture Group Inc. (PDVP), an apparel, media and publishing holding company in the lifestyle sports industry, announced today that it has entered into discussions with the holding company representing the remaining 51% of N’East Magazine. This forecasted acquisition along with the previously announced forecasted merger of the minority (49%) ownership would bring Podium Venture Group its first 100% held subsidiary.

“On December 11, 2006, we announced our agreement to acquire the minority interest in N’East Magazine. In conjunction with this merger, we have actively sought and are now thrilled to report, we have engaged in discussions with the remaining majority interest of the rising lifestyle sports magazine. This acquisition will not only bring Podium a viral brand with its finger on the pulse of an explosive market – but will give us the influential edge needed to deliver other company-held brands,” Jim McGinley, President & CEO, Podium Venture Group, Inc.

N’East Magazine (www.neastmag.com) can be found at Borders, Barnes & Noble, Eastern Mountain Sports, REI, Tower Records, Universal News, Shaws, B. Dalton, Hudson News, and independent bookstores and retailers nationally.

Mr. McGinley continues: “This series of acquisitions is no accident – with the 25% stock dividend as announced on December 7th, and bringing Podium its first wholly owned subsidiary – we intend to ring in the near year loud and clear.”
