PHOENIX, AZ--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 21, 2008 -- Amergence Group (Other OTC:AMNG.PK - News) received word on Monday, August 18, 2008, that, because of a lawsuit filed in Fresno, California, by its former counsel, Mr. David Kahn, MediaTechnics has announced its withdrawal from the technology deal signed between the parties in June of this year. (http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/080610/0405236.html).

In response to the decision by MediaTechnics to withdraw, Amergence's president, Peter Jacobs, announced regret over the decision, stating that the deal with MediaTechnics represented a major opportunity for Amergence. However, Mr. Jacobs stated that the Company will continue to focus on its core business involving leading-edge optical media enhancement technology and will continue its efforts to advance its nascent business development enterprise division.

The Amergence Group plans to vigorously defend against the lawsuit and has retained local counsel, Mr. William McLaughlin of the firm, McLaughlin Sullivan, LLP of Fresno, California. Describing the lawsuit as "akin to extortion," Amergence's counsel stated that, in addition to responding to the complaint, he intends to file a cross-complaint on behalf of Amergence seeking substantial damages against Mr. Kahn based on his intentional interference with the deal with MediaTechnics.

Amergence considers this unforeseen development to reflect a temporary set-back. However, the Company is moving forward with its plan to file updated financial and business information with Pink Sheets so that current information about the Company will be available to the public.
