FORT WAYNE, IN--(Marketwire - November 17, 2009) - Freedom Financial Holdings, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: [ FDMF ]) CEO Brian Kistler announced today that effective immediately the Board of Directors has authorized the company to divest its ownership in the mortgage subsidiary so that going forward the company is able to focus all of its energy and resources into the energy sector.

Kistler stated, "This decision and announcement is bittersweet in nature. Freedom Financial Mortgage Corp was formed in 1997 and has been a viable company ever since. However, as the mortgage industry has gone through major changes, the cost of doing business is rising with added regulatory compliance. This (coupled with shrinking margins) has made it increasingly difficult to achieve a profitable business model."

Kistler continued, "The mortgage operations will be discontinued by December 31, 2009. Therefore, the sole focus of the company will be Freedom Energy International, Inc. and the exploitation of KC 9000™ on to the world market."

"The name and most likely the symbol of the company will be changing to reflect this narrowed focus into the energy sector. This will be done in the near future once we have returned from our travels to Kuwait and other Middle Eastern countries," concluded Kistler.
