James Monroe Capital Authorizes Stock Dividend.

CHICAGO -- James Monroe Corporation (Pink Sheets:JMCP) has authorized a stock dividend of its restricted shares of Originally New York, Inc. such that every holder of 2010 shares of the Company's issued and outstanding stock shall be entitled to receive 1 share of Originally New York, Inc. The record date of this dividend is December 12 and the pay date is December 27 of this year.

ONYI Chairman Taylor Moffitt said, "Chris McGovern and I will be leaving to focus on ONYI now, and we are bringing our JMCP shareholders with us. If you want to be in this party, the show's at ONYI. At some point in the future following the dividend, ONYI will be renamed 'James Monroe Capital Corporation.' This train's leaving, and we're all going to OTC BB town."

The dividend stock is unregistered and accordingly would be restricted. Restricted stock cannot be sold for a period of time, such as a year or two. This protects shareholder value. Following the holding period, restricted stock is also subject to selling limits proportionate to the size of the company. This also helps to protect share prices.

James Monroe Capital President Chris McGovern said, "We have our known broker list, and will follow the strictest procedures of accurate dividend practice."

Moffitt commented, "On a less positive note, with this dividend passing value up to shareholders, the soon-to-be-former JMCP will be losing some of its intrinsic value. It has a future that is uncertain. We will announce our plans for it after they have been determined. Overall this is an outstanding reason to give thanks: the dividend will make your net worth go up. However, if you have short-term investment intentions, you should use discretion. Also, shareholders should be advised that if they sell their stock before the execution date, which is yet to be determined by the NASD, they would not get the dividend. In that light, we hypothesize the trading volume to be short-term investors selling while long-term investors are buying. We're happy to gain long-term partners and accommodate the exit of the short-term market players. I hope all shareholders find us worthy of their continued partnership. I will continue to work diligently to care for OUR new company, ONYI. Happy Thanksgiving and God bless."
