Downgraded to NEUTRAL Until Operations Regain Traction, Operations Halted by
Earthquake

KEY LARGO, Fla., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- AMI Research, a division of Hawk
Associates, today announced that it has issued an update on its analyst
coverage of Jade Art Group, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: JADA) based on the
company's Q2 '08 results. AMI Research downgraded its rating to NEUTRAL with a
price target of $3.29. The complete report is available at the AMI Research
website http://www.amistockreports.com .
    The report says, "The earthquake that shook Inner Mongolia, China in June
forced Jade Art Group to suspend operations at its jade mine due to the
destruction of the road leading to the mine. As a result, the company reported
a disappointing Q2 '08 with revenues contracting 37% to $6.7 million."
    The report also notes that given the uncertain time frame for recommencing
normal operations, management has withdrawn its 2008 guidance and says it
expects to generate little or no revenue in Q3 '08. Existing sales contracts
will provide a strong catalyst to restart the company's revenue stream and
regain momentum once normal operations resume. The report says, "In 2009, we
expect a strong 40% growth in volume due to the carry forward of current sales
agreements."
