DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - August 15, 2008) - NewMarket Technology, Inc. (OTCBB: NMKT) today announced net income from the Company's Chinese subsidiary increased substantially from a loss of $22k in the first six months of 2007 to a profitable $321k for the first six months of 2008. Revenue also saw an 11% increase over the first six months of 2007, reporting $19.2 million in year-to-date revenue for the Chinese operation alone. Additionally, the Chinese operation increased shareholder equity 45% ($3.7m v. $2.6m) over the same period last year. NewMarket Technology has recently announced year-to-date higher than anticipated North American sales. The sales increase is expected to improve revenue and profit. The Chinese subsidiary net income performance will enhance the Company's overall net income performance.

Philip J. Rauch, CFO of NewMarket and the Company's Chinese subsidiary stated, "We are very pleased with our Chinese subsidiary's continued improvement of its fundamental financials, especially its increase in net income. After independently listing our Chinese operations less than two years ago, our Chinese subsidiary has matured nicely. We have made it a point to improve the financial performance of all the companies in the NewMarket family with a focus on both revenue growth and improved bottom line. After a two year hiatus from mergers and acquisitions we know that continuing to improve our fundamental financial performance will be helpful as we seek a higher caliber of candidates for acquisition. NewMarket's recently announced plans to acquire Everex are evidence of our increasing financial maturity."

In 2007, the Company's Chinese subsidiary accounted for approximately 40% of NewMarket's overall revenue reporting $40 million. Management has set a $50 million revenue goal for the Company's Chinese subsidiary in 2008. NewMarket reported $93.1 million in revenue in 2007 with $7.3 million in net income across all its operations and management has set an overall $120 million 2008 revenue goal.
