Cervus Financial Group Inc. ("Cervus"), (TSX: CFG), is a financial services company dedicated to providing mortgages through select mortgage brokers. The company is pleased to announce that as at March 31, 2006 it has reclaimed its Top 10 broker lender status and again improved its market share. The company moved up from 12th out of 47 broker lenders, as it reported March 21st, 2006.

"It is with great pleasure that Cervus shares these results as it proves the "Customer for Life" Model continues to be widely accepted and supported by our broker partners and the Canadian broker community at large," states Grant MacKenzie, COO of Cervus.

He continues to say, "We are pleased to see the broker community embrace the concept of trailer fees tied to a model that routinely provides automatic approvals often resulting in commitments on the broker's computer in under 3 minutes. This supports the paperless mortgage process that we have built over the last 18 months."

The Filogix Canadian Mortgage Broker Market Report™ reports all mortgage originations processed through the Filogix technology platform utilized by the majority of Canadian mortgage brokers.

Cervus's unique model compensates the broker with a one time origination fee, a trailer fee for each year the mortgage remains with Cervus and a renewal fee upon renewal of the mortgage for another term. The model allows mortgage brokers to build their own book of business and provides the tools and products they need to retain the Customer for Life.

Cervus has continued to see increasing adoption rates for the "Customer for Life" business model.

About "Customer for Life"

The Cervus "Customer for Life" model enables the mortgage professional to retain the relationship with the borrower as a customer throughout the life of the mortgage. The compensation model also creates a continued revenue stream in the form of trailer fees, a one time origination fee and a renewal fee every time the customer renews with Cervus. This creates income security for the mortgage professional allowing a long-term relationship to be developed with the borrower. This long-term relationship subsequently gets passed along to the institutional investor of the mortgage security, creating a higher yield long-term investment cash flow stream. The Cervus "Customer for Life" model creates profitable relationships for the borrowers, mortgage professionals, institutional investors and for Cervus.
