Emerge Capital Corp. Sells Aim American Mortgage Subsidiary

HOUSTON, TEXAS - (PRWEB/VINTAGE NEWSWIRE) - Thursday, February 23, 2006

Emerge Capital Corp. (OTCBB:EMGC) announced today that the company has sold its
interest in its residential mortgage lending subsidiary, Aim American Mortgage,
Inc.

Emerge Capital President and CEO Tim Connolly commented “This sale is part of
our continuing plan to focus our resources and capital in those areas we believe
will provide the greatest return to our shareholders. Rising interest rates and
softening housing markets led to our recent decision to divest ourselves of our
real estate subsidiary, Lehigh, and our mortgage lending subsidiary. We can now
concentrate our efforts on executing the Emerge Capital Corp. long term business
plans.”

Emerge Capital Corp. provides Business Restructuring, Turnaround Management, and
Advisory Services for emerging and re-emerging public and private companies
through its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Corporate Strategies, Inc. (CSI).
CSI helps micro-cap public companies accelerate growth, provides working capital
strategies, funding alternatives and in select cases, makes direct investments
in our client companies. CSI markets its turnaround services to hedge funds,
institutional investors, and banks that have significant exposure in troubled
micro-cap public companies. Typically, these companies are in operational or
financial difficulty, may be in default of lending or equity agreements, and may
be facing bankruptcy or liquidation if their operations are not turned around.
CSI is compensated with cash payments on a monthly or quarterly basis, and the
most significant part of our compensation is in outright grants of equity in the
form of common stock, and/or warrants for purchasing common stock. We believe
this compensation plan provides us with an opportunity to achieve venture
capital like returns on our equity participation, and aligns our interests with
the client company and its shareholders because our ultimate compensation is
determined by successfully increasing shareholder value. This performance based
arrangement clearly demonstrates that our interests are consistent with the
goals of our clients, their shareholders, and the shareholders of Emerge Capital
Corp.
