Mark Ross Group of Companies Launches Web Site Featuring Highly Informative Content and Visitor Friendly Navigation Paths.

Site presents new MRG enterprises including innovative litigation support activities, emerging issues in the life insurance field, and new market initiatives.

New York, NY - October 15th, 2007 — The Mark Ross Group of Companies (MRG) today launched its web site ( www.markross.com ) with content and navigation features that will prove highly informative, interesting and relevant to users. MRG, a U.S. leader in the innovative applications of life insurance products and financing formats since 1977, has designed its site to reflect the Companies’ dramatic growth, notably in the development of its litigation management and financing operations, its recent acquisitions, its concentration on the protection of senior and other policyholders, its new executive staff—including top insurance industry professionals—and its new offices in Albany, New York; San Diego, California and Miami, Florida.

The website, created by MRG staff working with Mountain Media of Saratoga, NY will be expanded further over the months ahead, according to Mark Ross, Founder, Board Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Group: “The best web sites are works in progress that reward visitors again and again for their time. We intend to keep our site a favorite on the lists of insurance professionals, regulators, regulatory staff, insurance media, legislators, legislative staff, attorneys and advisors in the field and, of course, policyholders, for whom our firm continues to demonstrate special dedication to protective care on every front. Examples of our interest in client protection, especially through the identification and combating of activities that we believe to be highly improper, if not unlawful—particularly those affecting seniors—will appear in our periodic reports and in the chronicles of our new cutting edge enterprise: the Ross Resolution Capital Management, LLC complex (RRCM). This and RRCM related companies will be of great interest to site visitors who, like us, recognize the asymmetry of power which exists when well-organized, well-capitalized entities set themselves up to take unfair or even illegal advantage of policyholders and other claimants with far less knowledge, organization and capital.  RRCM seeks to address that imbalance by providing resources on the policyholders' side of the equation to level the playing field, so that fairness and justice may be served. Thoughtful industry participants and observers recognize that self policing by our great profession is an essential prerequisite to the avoidance of hurried, politically driven and potentially draconian governmental measures which may throw the proverbial baby out with the bathwater. Along these very lines, we trust that our website will become a rallying point and a center of influence for the best, brightest and most ethically trustworthy professionals in our field. Although our industry has earned its proud place in the public eye for 150 years, our positive reputation will not perdure if immoral, illegal practices---albeit by a very small percentage of the professionals in the field----are nonetheless left unchecked. As an industry, we must hold fast to the public trust we have worked so hard to garner”, Mr. Ross stated.

“On our web site we will present MRG’s new strategic and expanded capabilities, which have been specifically selected to provide for certain of the specialty expertise and experience necessary to conform to the emerging challenges and opportunities that will constitute our competitive landscape in the years and decades to come. The addition of such renowned leaders in the industry as the Hon. Peter Molinaro, immediate past New York State Senior Deputy Superintendent of Insurance, as Managing Director; Mr. Robert Powell, former President of MetLife Brokerage and former marketing head of Jefferson Pilot and of the Highland Brokerage division of National Financial Partners, as Managing Director, Distribution and Carrier Relations; Mr. Gary Brecka as Managing Director, MRG Secondary Markets and President of MRG affiliate Life Asset Group; and former Insurance Advocate publisher and President of CINN Media Group, Steve Acunto as Managing Director, Communications and Media, ” Mr. Ross added.

“Using our web site, we will enhance MRG’s role as the policyholders’ champion and spur our firm’s continued growth through stepped-up national communications and media outreach, both electronically and in print. We hope to present unique communications and learning opportunities to a wide spectrum of professionals, policyholders and others participating at all levels of the life insurance primary and secondary markets, as well as professionals representing the full spectrum of insurance financing markets,” Mr. Ross stated.

“We invite you to visit us today and in the future as regularly as you can; we trust you will not be disappointed,” Mr. Ross concluded.
