selected for a new container terminal in the United Arab Emirates.

JMT has been selected as the terminal operating system for the new
container terminal at the port of Ruwais, Abu Dhabi, managed by Gulftainer.
Gulftainer is recognised as one of the most productive terminal management
companies in the world. In 2009 Gulftainer handled close to three million
containers in its various terminals around the region.

Speaking from Jade's US office, Jade Software Managing Director Craig
Richardson
says Gulftainer is a key strategic customer for the company's
growing marine terminals business in major ports around the world.

"We are very pleased to expand our JMT footprint into the Middle East
with award-winning terminal operator Gulftainer. This is another vote of
confidence in the JMT product, increasingly being recognised as one of the
best products for managing multi-modal marine terminals."

Richardson adds that the interest in JMT has been steadily building from
new and existing customers.

"In June 2009, Jade announced Ignazio Messina & C. S.p.A (Messina Line)
had selected JMT to manage the Nino Ronco terminal in Genoa. We are seeing
strong interest in JMT and growing demand for consulting services from our
logistics division, which has allowed Jade to increase its Europe and
US-based resources. We have also focused our marine terminals strategy on
what we have identified is an under-serviced segment in the terminal
operating system market."

In recognition of the Company's significant growth and momentum in the
terminal operating systems market, Richardson announced this week the
appointment of Mr. Howard Wren as Director of Jade's global logistics
division.

Mr. Wren was most recently Technical Director of AECOM's Ports and Marine
business and has worked on a range of high profile international projects in
the ports sector. AECOM is one of the largest and most respected providers of
professional technical and management support services in the world.

Richardson says, "Securing Howard to lead our logistics team is a real
coup for Jade. He is recognised as a world-leading container terminal design
and development consultant with a deep understanding of the sector and a
passion for delivering the innovative products and services that Jade
customers expect."
