NewMarket Technology, Inc. Announces Launch of $30 Million Service Contract in China

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - August 7, 2009) - NewMarket Technology, Inc. NWMT today announced the launch of a $30 million service contract in China and expected revenue growth in the second half of 2009 resulting from strong offshore sales.

China Sales

In 2008, NewMarket reported over $40 million in profitable revenue from its operations in China. The Company's operation in China recently signed a $2 million contract with a Hong Kong-based software company and a $30 million outsourcing services contract. Philip Verges, the CEO and Chairman of NewMarket Technology, Inc. is currently in Shanghai for the launch of the $30 million contract.

Emerging Market Focus

NewMarket is a technology service provider that sells, installs, customizes and maintains brand name technologies from Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco, Hewlett-Packard and other recognized technology corporations. NewMarket is similar to EDS, Perot Systems and Affiliated Computer Systems, though today smaller. NewMarket differs from the more recognized technology service provider companies by focusing business development in emerging economies. NewMarket's emerging economy focus has helped the Company maintain strong sales during the global economic downturn.

South American Sales

In addition to the Company's sales success in China, the Company also recently announced a $1.2 million Microsoft corporate license agreement with Banco Federal (www.bancofederal.com).

$1.00 - $2.50 Share Price Potential

NewMarket recently announced a ticker symbol change from NMKT to OTC: NWMT. The change reflects a substantial step forward in the Company's overall plan to align what management believes is an undervalued price per share with the Company's otherwise strong fundamental financial performance.

NewMarket recently released an exclusive on-demand Webcast to review the Company's positive operating income for the previous three years and revenue growth from approximately $78 million in 2006 to $95 million in 2008. The focus of the Webcast is to present the potential for the share price to increase from the recent recapitalized price per share of $0.45 to $1.00 and as high as $2.50. The price per share potential is suggested in conjunction with the presentation of the market capitalization values of comparative public companies. The presentation includes an outlook on the anticipated profitable revenue increase in 2009.

The Webcast is now available for review on the Company's corporate website. A link to the Webcast titled 'NewMarket Corporate Update (August 4, 2009)' is available on the Investor Relations page of the NewMarket website under Current Events and Communications at: http://www.newmarkettechnology.com/investor-relations.htm.
