VHGI Holdings, Inc. Announces Intent to Spin-Out Medical Office Software Subsidiary

FT. WORTH, Texas, Dec. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- VHGI Holdings, Inc. (OTC.QB: VHGI) announced today that it intends to distribute to the shareholders of VHGI Holdings all of its ownership interest in Medical Office Software, Inc., a Florida corporation ("MOS"), which will result in MOS being a separately traded publicly-held company. This transaction will subject shares of MOS to registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2012. Prior to the spin-out, MOS will raise up to $2.5 million in capital. In addition, MOS intends to acquire one or more entities prior to of after the spin-out in order to broaden its business.

MOS is engaged in the business of assisting medical practices by providing healthcare software support and a fully integrated Practice Management/EMR Software, and by continuing to develop and enhance the underlying computer hardware and network systems those solutions depend on. MOS has also expanded its services to include web design and consulting services regarding billing matters and other aspects of medical practice.

"As we work towards the completion of our purchase of an operating coal mine, and build our energy and gold businesses, it has become clear that our medical technology business confuses our story," said Doug Martin, CEO and President of VHGI Holdings. "We are very excited about the MOS business and the other plans we have for MOS, and in order to capitalize on those plans, and allow the VHGI Holdings shareholders to share in the success of those endeavors, we felt that a spin-out of MOS to our shareholders would be the best alternative."
