Hawk Associates CEO Frank Hawkins and President Julie Marshall
offered this commentary:

"WidePoint, the leading provider of certificate-based security
solutions and mobile telecom expense management systems to the federal
government, recorded six month revenues of $16.4M vs. $6.1M as the
company demonstrated it is gaining strong traction in an industry
widely regarded as recession proof.

"TIGroup, which funds, operates and manages rural and non-urban
healthcare facilities, moved its annual revenue run rate up to at
least $38 million with an $8.4 million quarter that compared with $0.9
million a year earlier. The company's aggressive acquisition program,
which has added $29 million in assets with only $4 million invested,
represents rapidly growing shareholder value. This is the very early
stage of a company that we believe, as their investor relations firm,
is creating a profitable new business model in the healthcare field.

"Asia Cork, an extremely appealing 'green' China play, is by
traditional Wall Street standards, significantly undervalued. Revenues
rose 79% in Q2, but more importantly the company reported EPS of $0.02
for the quarter and $0.03 for the first six months. Applying even a
conservative multiple suggests there is unrealized value in the stock.
The investor relations prospects for continued strong growth appear to
be outstanding.

"Three of Hawk's investor relations clients, Exactech (EXAC),
TIGroup (TISG) and NeoGenomics (NGNM), made presentations at the
well-attended Noble Financial Conference
(http://www.nobleresearch.com) in Las Vegas. Prior to the conference
in July, EXAC reported an exceptionally strong quarter with revenue up
38% to $43.7M and net income of $3.0M vs. $1.4M while NGNM reported in
late July a 108% gain in revenue for Q2 to $4.9M."

client.

In August, Hawk appointed Wall Street veteran Brian Wong as
Director of Research of AMI Stock Reports, Hawk's wholly-owned
issuer-paid analyst report service, which reinstated coverage of
NeoGenomics with a Strong Buy and moved Jade Art Group (JADA) to
Neutral. See http://www.amistockreports.com/
