			<description><![CDATA[HONG KONG, CHINA and TORONTO, ONTARIO--(eMediaWorld - Jan. 29, 2008) - Harmony Asset Limited (TSX:HAR)(HKEX:0428) announces a profit warning regarding its 2008 fourth quarter financial results.

The Board of Directors of Harmony Asset Limited (the &quot;Company&quot;) wishes to inform the shareholders of the Company and potential investors that the continual global economic and financial turmoil in the second half of 2008 had significant impact on its profitability. Based on a preliminary review of the management accounts, the Company is expected to record further substantial losses in the fourth quarter of 2008, when compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. The expected losses were attributable to unrealised loss on fair value changes on financial assets through profit and loss, investment deposits written off and impairment loss on accounts receivable, all of which was a result of a combination of the economic slowdown and uncertainties in the global financial markets.

			<description><![CDATA[LOS ANGELES, CA--(eMediaWorld - December 18, 2008) -  Despite increased awareness and global
attempts at enforcement, the illicit antiquities trade has grown into a
$4-billion market that has left behind a wide swath of economic,

To slow this growth, financial incentives can be created that will promote
legal discovery and conservation while mitigating the effects of looting,
according to a new report from the Milken Institute.

The report, Financial Innovations for Developing Archaeological Discovery
and Conservation, is the result of meeting at the Institute earlier this
year with a diverse group of players in the antiquities trade, including
economists, museum representatives, attorneys, collectors, antiquities
dealers and members of the archaeology community.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

Friday&#039;s stock market performance is yet another blow to all of our shared
concerns regarding the U.S. economy.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average
dipped below both the technical and psychological level of 11,000, a number

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are in essence being bailed out by the Federal
Government, having been given direct access to the discount window at the
Federal Reserve. We also saw the failure of California&#039;s IndyMac, the
largest retail bank to go under amid the mortgage crisis. Based upon

that the company received notification from the staff of the Nasdaq OTCBB,
Inc. on May 28, 2008 informing the company that it has been late in filing
a required report three times in the last two years.

NASD Rules 6530 and 6540 require the removal of a company&#039;s securities from
the OTCBB for a period of one year if the issuer has failed to file a
complete required annual or quarterly report by the due date (plus
extension) three times within in a two-year period. The OTCBB claims that
Nettel was late in Sept 2006, but notification was never received by
Nettel. The company is refuting it. The company was declared late in May
for submission of their 10K for 2007 and 1st quarter 10Q for 2008.
