              Emergisoft Accesses $1 million in Additional Funding

     ARLINGTON, Texas - Sept. 19, 2002 - Emergisoft Holding, Inc. (OTC:ESHG)
today reported the infusion of an additional $1 million from its equity-backed
credit line. The company will use the funds to continue executing its business
plan.

     The additional funding is part of a $2.5 million financing commitment made
available earlier this year by Berlwood Five, Ltd., the company's largest
shareholder. It is the second infusion of $1 million made by Berlwood Five, Ltd.
under the financing commitment, leaving $500,000 of the commitment available.

     "Emergisoft is very pleased with the commitment of our largest investor
whose ongoing support has helped us pursue several promising opportunities, a
number of which could result in completed license agreements by year end," said
Ash Huzenlaub, chairman and CEO of Emergisoft. "Our proprietary healthcare
information technologies, including our flagship EmergisoftED(TM) product,
continue to generate a great deal of interest particularly as emergency
department personnel see our electronic medical records system as an excellent
solution to the challenges of emergency department overcrowding, patient triage,
tracking and charting, and the critical need to eliminate medical errors
resulting from illegible handwriting."

     "Furthermore, as hospitals look for new tools to help them meet their
financial performance goals, administrators realize our systems' financial
benefits, including more efficient operations, avoiding revenue losses resulting
from losing paper-based patient records, and the ability to locate patients who
have relocated but still have unpaid hospital bills," Huzenlaub said.


     As a result of the financing transaction, the number of issued and
outstanding Emergisoft Holding, Inc., shares of common stock increased to
14,704,864 from 12,829,859.
