                              FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


     CHAIRMAN GEOFFREY P. JURICK CLOSES SALE OF 10,000,000 OF HIS SHARES TO
                   SUBSIDIARY OF THE GRANDE HOLDINGS LIMITED

PARSIPPANY, NJ -- December 5, 2005 -- Emerson Radio Corp. (AMEX: MSN) today
announced that it had been informed by its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
Geoffrey P. Jurick, that he had completed the sale of 10,000,000 of his Emerson
common shares to a subsidiary of The Grande Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong based
group of companies engaged in a number of businesses including the manufacture,
sale and distribution of audio, video and other consumer electronics and video
products. The purchase price was $5.20 per share and was paid in a combination
of cash and a convertible debenture of Grande. As a result of the sale, Grande
became the owner of approximately 37% of Emerson's outstanding shares.

The Company also indicated that it had been advised by Mr. Jurick that he
intends to remain as its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer until a successor
is appointed by the Board. The Board of Directors intends to begin a process
shortly in order to find a suitable replacement for Mr. Jurick upon his
retirement and to insure a smooth transition of function.

Emerson also announced today that, within the next few days, it intends to
terminate its lending arrangements with its existing domestic lending banks and
to pay off the small outstanding balance owed. While the Company does not
anticipate the need to borrow to support operations for the next few months, it
has secured from Mr. Jurick an $8 million credit line which will terminate on
the earlier of December 15, 2006 or the date on when the Company secures a new
domestic lending facility. The Company currently is in negotiations to obtain a
new and more favorable domestic credit facility which it hopes to consummate
within the next few weeks.






In commenting on his sale, Mr. Jurick stated that "I believe that Grande's
investment in Emerson shares will create a far reaching strategic alliance
between two companies combining substantial resources in manufacturing, brand
marketing and global distribution of a wide range of consumer electronic
products. Grande's strong presence in the Far East, its manufacturing expertise
particularly for Plasma and LCD television sets and its commitment to building a
first class worldwide electronics distribution network for branded products
should substantially enhance Emerson's business."

Emerson Radio Corp. (AMEX:MSN - News), founded in 1948, is headquartered in
Parsippany, N.J. The Company designs, markets and licenses, throughout the
world, full lines of televisions and other video products, microwave ovens,
clocks, clock radios, audio and home theater products.
