NEW YORK & JIANGXI, China, Feb 02, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- JADA | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Jade Art Group Inc. (OTCBB: JADA | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) (the "Company"), a seller and distributor of raw jade sourced from the SheTai Jade mine in China, today announced the release of lower guidance for fiscal year 2008.

For the full year 2008, the Company is lowering previously announced revenue to approximately $30 million and net income to $14-$15 million. Earnings per share (EPS) for the year are now forecast to be within a range of between $0.17 and $0.19.

In November 2008, the Company provided revenue and net income guidance of $32-$35 million and $21-$23 million, respectively. EPS was expected to be between $0.26 and $0.29.

"Our lowered guidance results primarily from a decrease in sales due to softening market conditions and an increase in sales expenses in the fourth quarter," said Hua-Cai Song, Chief Executive Officer. "Despite the challenges we experienced in 2008, including the June earthquake near the XiKai mine site and the impact of the ongoing global economic downturn, we are proud of our accomplishments over the past year."

Mr. Song continued, "Jade Art's goal is to develop SheTai jade into a recognized brand, for use in decorative construction, art carving and high-end jewelry. Management believes that the Company is well positioned for future growth."

About Jade Art Group Inc.

On January 17, 2008, the Company entered into an Exclusive Distribution Rights Agreement with Wulateqianqi XiKai Mining Co., Ltd. ("XiKai Mining"). Under the exchange agreement, XiKai Mining committed to sell to the Company 90% of the raw jade material produced from its SheTai Jade mine, located in Wulateqianqi, China, for a period of 50 years. Our goal is to meet China's increasing demand for jade and to eventually vertically integrate our raw jade distribution activities.
